As evening fell, the atmosphere in the camp grew increasingly tense. Imperial Physician Yuan was maneuvering between Yinzhi and Yinqi in their tents. All three female relatives accompanying the emperor had been attacked by Jiya. Kangxi and the leaders of the various Mongol tribes were anxiously awaiting news from him.

He looked at Qingyan's face and thought to himself that something was wrong. These kinds of whip marks were the easiest to be sabotaged. If the ointment was not applied properly, it would definitely leave marks on her fair face.

"Fourth Princess Consort, have you touched this scar with anything else?" Imperial Physician Yuan asked anxiously.

Qingyan was stunned. Yin glared at her, and she quickly nodded.

"When I was being whipped, I wiped myself with a handkerchief. Nothing else helped." Qingyan was worried that Yin would nag her, so she quickly handed the handkerchief in her hand to Imperial Physician Yuan and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with it.

Imperial Physician Yuan took the handkerchief, smelled it, and although there was something unpleasant about it, it was not a serious problem.

"Fourth Master, this servant would like to take this handkerchief away. There are indeed some things on it. We must prepare an antidote soup for the Fourth Princess based on the 'medicine' on it." As soon as Physician Yuan said this, Su Lan and Su Zhu knelt on the ground. The two of them were in charge of Qing Yan's belongings. If they encountered something like this, they would be the first to be punished.

Upon hearing this, Yin cast a cold glance at the two men. Qingyan had always been very lenient and rarely punished his servants. These repeated problems had crossed Yin's bottom line.

"This servant wouldn't dare. Your Highness's things are all kept in the designated places. We servants all wash and groom ourselves." Su Lan was afraid of delaying Qing Yan's treatment, so she quickly got up and went to get the box containing the handkerchiefs.

Imperial Physician Yuan stepped forward, glanced at it, and smelled it. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Fourth Master, all these handkerchiefs are fine. It seems this is the one!” Imperial Physician Yuan confirmed.

The fact that Qingyan was holding a handkerchief was suspicious suggests that this person likely committed the crime today.

She was slightly stunned. The Fifth Princess came over and wanted to wipe her tears with her own handkerchief. Su Lan was worried that she would give away her private handkerchief, so she took the plain handkerchief instead.

"Little darling, who touched the handkerchief?" Yin looked at Qingyan, and her expression proved that someone special must have touched the handkerchief, otherwise, the little girl wouldn't be so nervous.

Qingyan hesitated slightly, then said, "It's my fifth sister-in-law. I was going to use a silk handkerchief for her to wipe her tears, but Sulan was worried that it would reveal my handkerchief, so she used a plain one instead. I don't think it was her who didn't dare to hand over her own handkerchief."

Yin's face darkened. The two women beside Yinqi seemed to be well-behaved, much better than the women in the Third Master's residence.

"The Fifth Princess Consort?" Imperial Physician Yuan asked in surprise.

Qingyan nodded. The Fifth Prince's wife was gentle and didn't seem like the type to harm anyone. Moreover, she was the most timid of all the royal sisters-in-law. If it weren't for the concubine supporting her, she certainly wouldn't have had a good ending.

"Then there's no need to ask. The Fifth Princess Consort had some servants who betrayed her, so her clothes and other belongings were laced with this 'drug'," Imperial Physician Yuan said, shaking his head.

"Imperial Physician Yuan, we've found the source. I hope you can help us resolve this." Yin was relieved. As long as the poisoner could be found, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Yes!" Imperial Physician Yuan left with his things.

Qingyan quickly waved her hand, urging Sulan and Suzhu to leave. Yin's face was extremely gloomy; he was definitely going to vent his anger on the servants.

"Kneel down!" Yin said coldly.

Qingyan knelt down on the ground and immediately started to lift her up.

"Little darling, who told you to kneel down?" Yin's heart softened again when he saw her frightened little face.

At this moment, he held her cold little hand tightly, pulled her directly to the chair, and held the ointment that Physician Yuan had just left in his left hand, while gently applying it to her with his right hand.

He looked at the redness and swelling on her cheeks, and felt angry that his power was too small. The Mongolian princess barged into his tent, which was obviously a slap in the face to her. Every time he got angry, Qingyan would be terrified.

"Fourth Brother, this was an accident too!" Qingyan didn't realize what the scar might mean, but in Yin's eyes, her actions were just too foolish.

"The rules cannot be broken. Go outside and kneel down. You may stand up after dinner!" Yin had to establish rules for the servants in the tent. Before returning to the capital, Qingyan was their master.

When outsiders harm their masters, the servants just stand there dumbfounded?

"!" Su Lan and Su Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knelt down outside the tent.

Inside the camp, most people knew that Jiya was in the tents of the Fourth and Fifth Princes. The Mongolian guards all looked on, for the orders inside the imperial tents were related to the life and death of Mongolia.

After applying the "medicine" to her, he slipped under her knees, picked her up horizontally, and carried her directly to the study, where the soft couch by the window had already been prepared.

"Stay here." Yin said sternly, looking down at Qingyan.

A red mark appeared on her fair face, which looked particularly conspicuous.

"Fourth Prince, are you angry?" Qingyan didn't want to anger Yin.

She clutched his collar with her small hand. Here, she still needed Yin's support. Today's events made her start to reflect. Perhaps, when Yin reached the highest position, she would also need to manage her servants well in order to earn the respect of the Mongol women.

At this moment, all the servants inside the tent were dismissed by Yin. In the study, he sat on the edge of the soft couch, wrapped in a silk quilt.

"Don't get close to the Mongolian women anymore; they're all bad people," Yin instructed.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, you see I'm not seriously injured, this wound will heal soon!" Qingyan waved her little hand dismissively.

Yin held her in his arms. She probably said that because she was afraid he would worry.

His breath made her neck slightly red, and her whole face slowly flushed.

"The medicine sent by Imperial Physician Yuan should be thoroughly examined by Su Zhu before use." Yin clearly no longer trusted anyone. Imperial Physician Yuan was under the command of Kangxi, and in order to balance the various Mongol tribes, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't try to harm Qingyan.

The Chinese medicine was all prepared by the imperial kitchen, and there were special medicine boys in charge of it, so it was impossible to determine whose spies these people were.

"No way?" Qingyan couldn't believe it. Imperial Physician Yuan was the emperor's physician, how could his subordinates be so unreliable?

Yin patted her on the back without saying a word. The Imperial Medical Academy is a deep and complex place. Behind every prince, there is a capable imperial physician. When he went to the Prince's residence, Consort Tong specially handed over two imperial physicians she had bribed to Yin. Neither of these two were trained by the Tong family.

When the emperor accompanied him, Imperial Physician Wang came along. Their relationship had never been made public. Imperial Physician Wang was off duty today, so Yin would have to wait until the next time to have him come.

"Fourth Brother, I'll be alright." Qingyan nestled in his arms. His body was stiff, so she rubbed her body to make him feel more comfortable holding her.

"Okay, you stay with me obediently!" Yin's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was recalling something.

His deep, slightly hoarse voice was one she had never heard before.
