After the interrogation, Kangxi took Consort Tong and Yin to the Ulanara residence for a meal. Qingyan only needed to arrange the meals for the three of them.

“Little darling…” Yin moved closer to Qingyan, his little face full of trouble.

He never imagined that the assassination attempt would involve the Uya clan.

As his biological mother, he had to respect her. Even though Lady Wuya had made too many mistakes, Yin could not say a word. This gave Yin a headache and made him feel sad.

She felt uneasy. Both times she was on the verge of death, it was Uya who took action, which made Qingyan feel sad. Fei Yanggu had said that Uya was her mother-in-law, and she should still pay her respects when she went to the palace to pay her respects.

Even though Empress Wuya was imprisoned in the Cold Palace by Emperor Kangxi, she would still go to the Cold Palace to pay her respects after returning from the Chenggan Palace.

"Fourth Brother, do I still have to go and pay my respects in the future?" Qingyan felt that when facing his mortal enemy, he would inevitably have some evil thoughts.

Yin could see her displeasure, but with the Empress Dowager still alive, Kangxi couldn't do much to stop her.

As for Yin, the Empress Dowager would not allow him to become her son.

On the jade tablet, Uya will always be his birth mother.

"Little darling, it won't last long, just bear with it..." Yindu felt exceptionally cruel, and he felt guilty looking into her eyes.

The adults gave the corridor to the young couple, and everyone could see that Qingyan was unhappy. Kangxi did not blame Qingyan. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they suddenly found out that they had to bow to their enemy.

"Fourth Prince, I will be sad..." Everyone knew that Qingyan didn't want to pay his respects every day, and that Wuya Shi didn't really treat Yin as her son.

Yin held her little hand, but couldn't utter any words of comfort.

During lunch, Kangxi looked at the many Sichuan dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile. Apart from Yinzhi, everyone else really enjoyed the Sichuan dishes prepared by Qingyan.

"Fourth Prince, eat more!" Qingyan felt bad. Kangxi was still happy to see Yin being dealt with in such a small way. Yin had always had the same expression since he was a child, which made his parents worry for a long time.

Since Qingyan came along, Yin has become exceptionally cheerful, and even shows extra expression in front of them.

"Fine!" Yin ate the food Qingyan had picked for him with a sigh. This girl was furious, otherwise she wouldn't have treated him like that.

After the meal, everyone was quite satisfied, except for Yin, who was a little overwhelmed.

After Emperor Kangxi and his entourage left, Fei Yanggu taught his sons and daughters in the study.

"Little darling, if you're ever unhappy in the future, you can use this method to vent your little temper. I don't think His Majesty is angry!" Kangxi also understood that it was clearly Uya who was in the wrong. For the sake of the overall situation, Fei Yanggu and the others would not say a word. The dignity of the Upper Three Banners could not be stripped away by the bondservant families.

"Father, what about the Uya clan..." Qingyan had a terrible headache. If she had to pay her respects, she would probably vomit blood.

Fei Yanggu and his two sons pondered. Now, Wuya was being taken in by Kangxi, simply because he hoped to play the long game and catch a big fish.

"Father, if we take action against the collateral branch of the Uya clan, His Majesty shouldn't be angry, right? If we don't take action, people outside will think we're easy targets. What if they then try to harm Xiao Guai?" E Shuo felt most sorry for Qing Yan. If anyone dared to disrespect Qing Yan, he would never forgive them.

Fei Yanggu understood all of this, of course. Since Kangxi didn't say a word, he dared not overstep his bounds.

Qingyan's eyes were sparkling; as long as she could vent her anger, she didn't mind making small movements.

"Father, there's no need for too much action, just a little venting will suffice." Qingyan had a well-thought-out plan.

“Little Darling is absolutely right. Father will do it. Just watch the show!” Fei Yanggu smiled.

At 3:45 AM, Fei Yanggu got up to go to court. Before leaving home, he instructed Akdun to secretly have his spies investigate the affairs of the collateral branches of the Wuya clan, since the area outside the Great Wall was where the Wuya clan was most active.

The princes outside the Great Wall were unaware of the power struggles among the women in their harems. Just by looking at Uya's appearance, they could understand why the eldest sons of the Iron-Cap Princes had died young.

When Qingyan woke up, he heard what Akdun said and couldn't help but laugh.

Fei Yanggu's foresight was indeed excellent. During the Qianlong era, the bondservant families gradually gained control over the imperial offspring, ultimately leading to the complete decline of the Aisin Gioro clan.

"Sulan, the manager of Yuelai Inn will be coming to pick up the blueprints in a while. Give them the blueprints I drew a couple of days ago, and also check the spies in the mansion again." Qingyan had to admit that those treacherous servants were very well hidden. Even after cleaning up a batch, some bad ones would still emerge.

This made her extremely annoyed.

"Princess, this was personally delivered by the steward!" Su Lan looked at the list of those to be accepted, and cold sweat poured down her back.

Not only those serving in the princess's courtyard, but also the servants in the small kitchen, some of whom betrayed Qingyan, made Sulan feel lingering fear.

Qingyan is very particular about what they put in their mouths; if something really goes wrong, they won't even have a chance to explain themselves.

Damn it!

Qingyan was deeply shocked to see that the person who had been bribed in the small kitchen was someone she trusted.

“Princess…” Su Lan wanted to comfort Qing Yan, but the words wouldn’t come out.

These days, Qingyan has been harassing those who have betrayed the Lord, but with little success. He has investigated them again and again, but they still manage to outmaneuver him.

"Fine, let everyone in the small kitchen watch. Drag these servants outside and beat them to death. Let all the kitchen servants watch the execution!" Qingyan was about to leave home soon. Fei Yanggu and his two sons couldn't stay at the mansion every day. The kitchen was the most crucial place. Without a trusted person watching over it, things would definitely go wrong.

Thanks to Qingyan's care, the three of them are getting better and better. She doesn't want her father and sons to die young.

"Yes, this servant will take care of it right away!" Qingyan's breakfast has already been placed in the dining hall, so Sulan will not delay Qingyan's meal.

After washing up, Qingyan sat down at the table to eat, with Suxin standing behind her, her feelings complicated.

Her close friend was also from the kitchen, and even though nothing happened, she was still to be expelled from the mansion. That friend was actually a refined person.

"Suxin, why do you seem so distracted?" Qingyan noticed Suxin's state and couldn't help but feel puzzled, as Suxin never lost focus while on duty.

"Princess... This servant is guilty!" Su Xin was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.

Qingyan was startled by Suxin's actions and looked at her suspiciously.

"What's going on?" Qingyan would never give a kind look to a traitor, and Suxin's actions made her think the wrong thing.

"Princess, my best friend has been bribed by the Third Princess. I misjudged people!" Su Xin was extremely annoyed.

Pfft~

Qingyan spat out the milk in her mouth. This girl is so distracted over something like this?

"Be more careful next time!" Qing Yan didn't mind; as long as the people around him were loyal, that was enough. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
