With the old and future leaders absent, and the Qing Dynasty's crown prince also lashing out at them, those people must be extremely anxious right now.

So she's waiting, waiting for the assistance from here to gradually decrease, until they're desperate and resort to drastic measures.

At that time, not only could Sunbul be directly promoted, but those who were loyal to Namur and Erdun and opposed them could also be dragged out.

Those people are parasites; they must be uprooted.

Right now, it's not them who are anxious, it's them!

Inside Consort Yi's palace.

Yinqi went to Consort Yi's place with two large bags of food and trinkets he had brought back from the tribe. He hadn't seen her for almost a year, and he was actually a little scared.

He still remembers the shoving and the hateful look in her eyes from a few years ago.

Standing at the palace gate, I took a deep breath.

"Your son greets his mother."

Consort Yi's eyes lit up, but when she thought about how she had first visited the Empress Dowager and Harigana, she felt a little bittersweet.

But over the years, she has been confined to her home constantly, and she has long lost those desires she once had.

She will never have any more children; Yinqi will be her only support.

Besides, she was just a concubine. With the Empress above her, it was only proper and in accordance with palace rules that he should first see the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress, and only then her.

"Son, get up, get up quickly."

Consort Yi stood up and walked to Yinqi's side to help him up. After he was standing, she reached out and touched his cheek: "You've lost weight and gotten darker, but you're more muscular."

Yinqi was somewhat surprised, but he was still happy.

This is the same mother he had treated before, just like the Empress Mother had treated him.

"Mother, your son is fine, don't worry."

Consort Yi did not miss the glimmer of light in his eyes, and felt extremely guilty.

"Son, come, come, sit down and talk to your mother."

Yinqi really liked this feeling. He had always envied his younger siblings, and even though Consort Hui was unreliable, the worry and love in her eyes could not be ignored.

Now, his mother has also learned to love him.

He originally intended to return to Ning Shou Palace before lunch, but he was a little reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to tell the Empress Dowager that he wanted to stay and have lunch with his mother.

Yinqi is already over ten years old, and given everything that has happened over the years, he can sense whether someone is sincere or not.

Furthermore, Consort Yi only asked a few questions about Saenjiya and Yinfu from beginning to end, and every question was full of concern. She did not mention them again until he left.

In the afternoon, Harigana, along with Baoliri and Saienjiya, entered the palace early.

Baoli Ri chatted with Emperor Kangxi in the Imperial Study, while Sai Enjiya went to Ning Shou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

By this time, the children also knew about Yinti's situation.

"Mother, big brother will be alright, right?"

Chelimuge shook Harigana's arm, her eyes full of worry.

Not only him, but also Yin Fu and the others looked at him nervously, wanting to hear the answer they wanted from her.

"Don't worry, your big brother will be fine. He's so capable, he'll definitely come back safely."

He knelt down in front of Chelimuge and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

Although she had her suspicions, she had no evidence and was unsure of the final outcome, so she couldn't say anything.

It's good for the children to worry, so that they can strengthen their bond and won't act rashly in the future. They'll know that it's not pleasant for their family to worry about them.

Saenjiya and the Empress Dowager were chatting and laughing when they heard about Yinti's situation, and their hearts clenched.

Harigana took the children to Qingxi Palace, leaving the two of them alone for a year.

What was supposed to be a one-person gathering turned into a gathering of nine extra people.

Prince Kang brought his two children, and Prince Yu brought his three children as well, and they also entered the palace.

Fortunately, Harigana prepared plenty of food, and the small kitchen itself had vegetables on hand. By the time dinner was served, two large tables were neatly arranged with a full load of dishes.

The adults were alright; they only briefly mentioned Yinti's situation. But they were no ordinary people, and they immediately knew there was something wrong.

Then, he made another excuse and changed the subject without asking any more questions.

They could concern themselves with Yinti, but since Yinti was now involved in the war on the front lines, they couldn't ask too many questions.

The adults could understand, but the children were sullen and unhappy.

Especially Chelimuge, she missed her eldest brother and sister-in-law terribly.

Her older brother and sister-in-law treated her very well when she was little. What if something really happens to her?

Harigana noticed their sadness, but didn't say anything, letting them process it themselves.

It ended in less than two hours that night.

The matter concerning Yinti always kept people on their minds, preventing them from feeling happy and carefree.

Secondly, Seingia and the others had just returned from a long journey. Although they looked very energetic, they were getting on in years and needed to go back and rest as soon as possible.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry about it. We'll have the results in the next few days."

Kangxi held the woman who was tossing and turning on the bed: "The secret guards are very fast, trust me."

Harigana was indeed worried about Yinti, and having drunk some wine, he couldn't sleep.

She pushed away his arms and sat up, saying, "Xuan Ye, shall I invite the eldest son's wife to the palace tomorrow?"

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Irgen Gioro clan must be very anxious.

Unlike Consort Hui, she had no chance of getting any information from the people in the harem.

However, Lord Erkun has already received the news and will definitely tell his family.

"Okay, you handle it."

Emperor Kangxi rested his hands under his head, staring blankly at the woman whose brows were furrowed.

I remember she once said that she would only take care of her own children, and she would absolutely not care about the other princes and princesses.

But unexpectedly, the one who is most worried about them now is his beloved Jiaojiao.

"Xuan Ye, what are you thinking about?"

Harigana called him twice.

"Jiaojiao, I can never get enough of looking at you."

Harigana blushed: "How old are you? Can't you be serious for once?"

I rolled my eyes at him, but after thinking about it, I decided to bring it up with him anyway.

Whether she was sincere or not, now that she has become empress, she should fulfill her duties.

Emperor Kangxi might not have thought much of it, but he couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't gossip.

"Xuan Ye, I want to talk to you about something."

After saying that, she straddled him and said, "Yinreng is getting old, have you considered finding him a wife?"

Kangxi thought she had discovered something extraordinary, but it turned out to be for Yinreng.

He was just thinking how nice Jiaojiao was, but now she's warmed his heart again.

"I've thought about it, but I didn't tell you. I'll write up a list for you to see tomorrow."
