Emperor Kangxi believed Yinzhen's words.

"If this happens by chance, it's not bad either."

Yinzhen nodded: "Your subject originally only thought of using the conflict between the two families to deal with the Ming family first."

According to Yinzhen's plan, when the conflict between Ming Shu and Ji Xinyi escalates, the current wife of the Ming family is a capable and resourceful woman, and the Ji family truly loves their daughter. It would be easy to push things along and provide some evidence to bring down the Ming family.

If the Ming family falls from power and it is known that the Ji family was behind it, then it will inevitably turn into a dogfight.

The original plan was perfect, but I didn't expect to run into the Eighth Prince and his wife. But it's fine this way, I can deal with both families at once.

There's no need to worry about anyone having any doubts.

After all, it concerns the face of the royal family, so even a high-ranking official would have to obediently wait for the investigation.

However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Yinzhen decided that this matter had to be resolved quickly.

After leaving Kangxi's place, Yinzhen went to see the Eighth Prince and talked to him for a long time before returning to have dinner with Tong Cheng'er. After dinner, Yinzhen said, "I have some things to take care of tonight. I don't know when I will be back. Don't wait for me."

Tong Cheng'er: "You go ahead with your work, but try to come back as soon as possible."

Yinzhen said, "Alright."

That evening, Yinzhen and the Eighth Prince went to the yamen (government office), revealed their identities, and then, with their men carrying the imperial edict, each went to a different yamen.

After everything was settled, Yinzhen returned home.

When he got home, he saw that Tong Cheng'er was still awake.

Why aren't you asleep?

"I can't sleep because you're not back."
