The letter to Nian Gengyao was sent from the Yong Prince's residence the following day. The Fourth Prince entered the palace early, and after reviewing the memorials submitted by the cabinet ministers, he took Longkodo and left the Southern Fifth Palace.

"Your Highness, have you made up your mind?" Longkodo asked, following behind the Fourth Prince, seeing his solemn expression.

Fourth Prince also knew that Longkodo was always meticulous and observant of his every move, so it was truly remarkable that he could guess what he was thinking so accurately.

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but think to himself, no wonder Longkodo was so highly regarded by the Emperor. This man was indeed very good at understanding people's thoughts.

"Yes. I'll go to Eunuch Liang's place now and explain it to him in detail. When Uncle goes to the Qianqing Palace, he'll say he's going to fetch a book for Father Emperor. Uncle is well-liked by the Emperor; if he goes in to fetch something for Father Emperor, no one will suspect anything," said the Fourth Prince.

"That's excellent. Your Highness, please go and speak with Liang Jiugong. With him handling things in the palace, things will be much more convenient," Longkodo said hastily, bowing his head obsequiously. He had long wanted the Fourth Prince to see who the name on the imperial edict was, but unfortunately, the Fourth Prince had been holding back, so he had to endure it until now.

The two walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace. Longkodo went into the palace, while the Fourth Prince went to the guardhouse behind the Qianqing Palace to find Liang Jiugong. Since Kangxi moved to Changchun Garden, Liang Jiugong had been recuperating in his room after breaking his leg, and now his legs were almost back to normal.

"Your Highness, this old servant will simply let them out. As for anything else, this old servant knows nothing," Liang Jiugong said after hearing the Fourth Prince's words. He had been of one mind with the Fourth Prince from a very early age, which was why he had repeatedly helped him. Kangxi might have known this, but he did not stop it, which shows his attitude towards the Fourth Prince.

"Thank you for your help, Eunuch. If Father Emperor has chosen Fourteenth Brother, I will personally welcome him. If not, I will make plans accordingly," said the Fourth Prince.

“Your Highness’s considerations are thorough. I have always thought that Your Highness is a man of great talent, whose ability to handle affairs and his character and virtue far surpass those of others. I will now go to the palace for a visit. Your Highness, please come with me,” Liang Jiugong said.

When the Fourth Prince spoke to Liang Jiugong about what was behind the plaque, he understood the Fourth Prince's meaning. Although it went against Emperor Kangxi's orders, having the Fourth Prince see it at this point might save him a lot of trouble.

The two men set up their guardhouses one after the other and headed into the Qianqing Palace. Although Emperor Kangxi was not present, the daily cleaning and guarding of the Qianqing Palace were still essential.

These people were all under Liang Jiugong's command, so when he arrived at the palace, he said to the group of palace servants guarding inside, "You may all leave. I will stay here. The Prince and Lord Long need to inventory the Emperor's books."

The eunuchs all shrank their necks and lowered their heads, as if afraid that their master would remember their faces. Upon hearing Liang Jiugong's words, they immediately put down the servants they were carrying and left in a moment.

Liang Jiugong and Fourth Master exchanged a glance, and Longkodo quickly went to the door and personally closed it.

"Your Highness, Lord Long, there's no time to lose, we must act quickly," Liang Jiugong said. His voice sounded a little more excited than usual, because he had served Emperor Kangxi for over fifty years and had never done anything against his will, but today he was about to do something so shocking, so his voice was trembling.
