Highly recommended:

As dawn broke, Yin got up, picked up Qingyan, and carried her directly to the carriage. The twins were already asleep in the cradle inside.

Yesterday, the servants' identities were revealed. Some of them had connections with merchants from Guangdong and Guangxi and were preparing to come over to hold a banquet and complain. Tulichen received the news early and quickly sent someone to inform them so that he could leave ahead of time.

When Qingyan woke up, they had already been away from their lodgings for two hours. She sat up, wrapped in the quilt, rubbing her almond-shaped eyes with her right hand. The sleepiness on her face had not yet faded. She touched her belly with her left hand, knowing that there was still a little one inside.

"Little darling, are you still sleepy?" Since Qingyan had a child, she has been sleeping much more, so Yin tries to make her sleep as much as possible.

"Thank goodness, why did we leave early?" Qingyan leaned against Yin, letting him help her brush her teeth and wash her face. The children were still asleep, so it was their world.

"Someone knows we're here and wants to come and complain to you," Yin said helplessly. "Given your health, you definitely can't sit for too long!"

Yin regretted it deeply; the trouble he and the others had caused now required Qingyan's help to resolve.

"So that's how it is. Those people just wanted to see if they could persuade me to help them. Sisi, these merchants aren't scary. As long as we give them enough benefits, it should be easy to handle. As for those five people, you can figure it out yourselves. I can't help you!" Qingyan didn't want Yin and Yin to get involved. They both had daughters. What would they do if the other party said, "If we exchange positions, what will you do?"

Yin sighed and helped Qingyan walk out. Sulan had specially prepared a delicious breakfast, hoping that she would have a good appetite.

Qingyan is pregnant this time, and it's better than last time. Her morning sickness isn't as severe, and her appetite has improved a lot.

"If I don't step in, who do you think should go?" Yin felt that there weren't many people around him who could handle things, so he needed someone with enough influence.

"Anyone who's a doting father is unacceptable. Otherwise, they might end up siding with those people!" Qingyan said directly.

Yin agreed in his heart. If it were any other matter, he would have patted his chest and guaranteed that he would not do it, but he was not so sure about this matter.

Now, he has to prioritize the royal family, so things are getting complicated.

"By the way, doesn't Yin have a clerk? Why don't we just have him apologize?" Qingyan remembered that Yin had a head steward who was in charge of managing the businesses under Yin's name.

If the royal family cannot shoulder this responsibility, this person should be made a scapegoat.

"You mean Kun'e?!" Yin looked at Qingyan in confusion. "That man is a loyal servant of the Guo Luoluo clan, and Consort Yi trusts him very much."

Qingyan nodded. Kun'e was considered a troublemaker in the southern business world; he was always involved in any trouble that happened.

"Little darling, I heard that Kun'e has been causing a lot of trouble here. Is that true?" Yin also had some connections and discovered that Kun'e's actions had implicated many families in the Eight Banners.

“It’s true! At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but later, I discovered some clues. Guo Luoluo has been making a lot of money during this period. In the past few years, Consort Yi has been spending lavishly in the palace, even more so than Consort Tong.” Qingyan sneered.

After he finished speaking, the carriage was quiet. Yin leaned back, pondering to himself that he should probably think carefully about his next move.

Yin was even more distressed; he couldn't accept that the Eighth Prince had become like this.

"Master, are you still feeling sad?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi looked at Yin who was staring outside and felt a little troubled.

"Yes, as the Eighth Prince grows up, his ambitions are growing bigger and bigger. Father Emperor didn't keep an eye on him, and in the end, he will only become cannon fodder!" Yin said in advance that he didn't want to participate in the struggle for that position anymore, which is why Father Emperor trusted him more and more.

Yin Genjue Luo Shi understood that the fifth and ninth princes had been by Yin Si's side all along, and the three of them had been whispering about some things.

"Who is that Kun'e?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi saw a note delivered by Yin's men, on which only a name was written.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be a spy for the Guo Luo Luo clan. A large part of the reason why the Ninth Prince's business has grown so large is because of this person!" Yin knew a little about it. Logically speaking, when Yin Si received the imperial edict reprimanding him from Kangxi, he would have restrained himself to some extent. However, this person was different.

Inside both carriages, people were thinking about how to deal with Kun'e, who had been pushed out as cannon fodder.

"Fourth Brother, don't worry. We'll have to go and see for ourselves to understand the situation!" Even if Yin was in a difficult position, it would be pointless.

Yin patted Qingyan's little hand, his mind racing with thoughts of how to find out everything without making a sound.

"Use whatever you can to see what's going on over there!" Yin used Qingyan's last resort.

Qingyan drew a circle in mid-air, and soon the situation of the Guangdong and Guangxi naval ports appeared before them. Qingyan saw that many merchants were gathered at the entrance of the naval ports. The fifth, eighth and ninth brothers were sitting in the highest pavilion of the naval ports, looking down at the merchants.

“Little darling, those three probably didn’t expect the businessmen to act so quickly. They even used business cooperation to notify many officials in the capital. Some of them, even the censors, have heard the news and are preparing to submit memorials in the next few days to impeach Yinqi and the others.” Yinqi’s face was not good. If the censors made a big fuss, Kangxi would definitely lose face.

Qingyan handed the teacup to Yin, who took it and took a sip.

“Actually, this matter should have been the Eighth Prince’s idea, and the Ninth Prince asked Kun’e to handle it.” Yin put down his teacup and said with a frown.

The entrance to the military port was completely surrounded by a huge crowd, which was a real headache. After getting off the carriage, Yin and the others went directly to the Yuelai Inn without entering the military port.

“We don’t need to go to the naval port for the first seven days after arrival. It would be best to go on the morning of the eighth day.” Yin’s face showed a bitter smile. “As long as we can keep these people calm, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Qingyan nodded. If business can be stabilized, market prices must be kept stable. No matter how the royal family and business people fight, the interests of the people cannot be sacrificed.

"Sisi, stabilizing prices is good enough." Qingyan instructed his subordinates to stabilize prices, ensuring that the daily lives of ordinary people would not be disrupted.

"Little darling, are you starting now?" Yin glanced at Qingyan.

"Of course, we need to proceed slowly and steadily so that Kun'e won't notice!" Qingyan said in a low voice.
