In the middle of the night, Qingyan was half asleep when he heard a commotion outside. He opened his blurry eyes, sat on the bed, and stared blankly at the screen. The chaotic noise outside startled him awake.

"Little darling, sleep a little longer!" Yin patted her to comfort her. If something bad happened outside, Su Peisheng would definitely come to inform them.

Her little face scrunched up. Judging from the direction of the commotion, it must be the Crown Prince's room. They had just redeemed him that afternoon, and now he was causing trouble again.

"Little darling, your second brother is up to his old tricks again!" Yin got out of bed and changed into his everyday clothes. "Get up too, let's go take a look together."

Qingyan sighed helplessly and changed into a comfortable Hanfu. In the past two days, Emperor Kangxi had specially issued an edict that female relatives could wear Hanfu when going out.

When the two arrived at Kangxi's courtyard, they couldn't help but find that Kangxi was furious. Xiao Guai was reluctant to go closer.

"Brother, what's all this commotion about again?" Yin sighed, rubbing his forehead. He wasn't sleeping at all and was disturbing other people's sweet dreams.

"Consort Tong issued an edict to punish Li Jia, but the Crown Prince is making a fuss and won't allow the punishment!" Yin said disdainfully.

When they first arrived, Yin was still very angry and gave Li Jia a cold shoulder. After arriving at the inn, Li Jia quickly appeased the Crown Prince.

"Ah?!" Qingyan looked at Yin in surprise, then glanced at Lady Yingenjueluo, who nodded to her. "His Majesty would never allow anyone to behave improperly towards the Consort, and the Crown Prince would be no exception, would he?"

Qingyan was clearly lacking in confidence. Inside the room, Yin and Li Jia were kneeling on the ground, while Consort Tong was so angry that she fainted.

Kangxi was furious at the current situation and even lifted up both Yinzhi and Yinzhi.

"It's not that there won't be exceptions, but rather that things might be calm!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi pursed her lips. The Crown Prince had received too many generous rewards, which made them all feel a little unbalanced.

Kangxi's reprimanding voice came from inside the room, and Yin smiled. His father was finally able to treat his sons equally.

“Father won’t blame Second Brother. This is a bit absurd and outrageous. There’s something strange about the antique shop owner.” Yin saw it very clearly. “Eldest Brother, you can go and take a look. That man… is a bit odd!”

Qingyan pondered for a moment. The shopkeeper's voice sounded like an imitation, and he was quite plump and fair-skinned. It was impossible for that run-down shop to raise someone like that.

Li Dequan came out and let the four people in. Qingyan's eyes lit up, and he poked Yin's back.

"Fourth Brother, that person doesn't seem like an angel!" Qingyan's clear voice startled Yin Yi.

etc!

Li Dequan's queue was fake, and he was raised in the palace, so his appearance was different from that of ordinary Xiao Sula.

"Father, you've made Anda have a beard on him!" Yin's abrupt words startled Kangxi, who immediately glared at him angrily.

"Fourth Prince!" Kangxi roared.

"Father, the matter of the Crown Prince is not simple! Please have Anda put on a mustache first." He took out a pair of mustaches from his purse.

Everyone was taken aback by Yin's resolute expression.

"Paste it!" Kangxi nodded. "Fourth Prince, explain it to me clearly later!"

Li Dequan quickly put on his mustache, and Qingyan tilted his head to take a look; it did look somewhat similar.

“Anda straightened his back!” Qingyan said again.

The Crown Prince turned his head and was startled. Li Jia was frightened by the shopkeeper. Since there were not many people around Yin, they had no choice but to ask Kangxi for help.

“Father, that shopkeeper is a eunuch! He must have come from the palace!” Qingyan concluded.

Instantly, the room fell silent. Kangxi was somewhat taken aback. Eunuchs who had reached the position of Li Dequan were all recorded in the roster, and there was no eunuch chief who came from Zhenjiang.

"Second Brother, you and Consort should take a good look. And the collar of the servant has been changed to dark blue, and the shopkeeper's voice!" Yin knew that the voice was different from that of a normal person in their forties; it was thinner.

Qingyan smiled, Li Jia's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she could only open them a crack. She looked closely at Li Dequan and realized that it was probably an outsider who had dug a trap for Yin to fall into.

"There's a resemblance!" Yin's voice trembled. His father always said he was too well protected; in some ways, he couldn't even compare to Qingyan. "Father, was it...someone targeted me?"

Yin smiled bitterly; the halo of being the crown prince had only brought him a series of traps.

"Fourth Prince, you and Saito go and arrest the man!" Without saying a word, Kangxi decided to trust Yinhe Qingyan's judgment.

"Father, let Qingyan come with me!" Yin had to admit that Xiao Guai's observation skills were better than his.

Without her reminder, he probably wouldn't have thought of the eunuch. No! He might have thought of it, but it would have taken him time, giving the other party a chance to find a way out.

Emperor Kangxi frowned, not wanting Qingyan to appear in public. Women should stay in the backyard; royal women had no interest in participating in politics.

“Father, only Qingyan’s identity can make the other party lower their guard. Besides, Qingyan is more familiar with the manager of Yuelai Inn than Saito is!” Yin didn’t want to leave Qingyan alone. Fei Yanggu and E Shuo both had to be on duty and definitely wouldn’t have time to take care of Xiao Guai.

"Alright!" Kangxi nodded. "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Kangxi waved his hand, and Saito stood up and left with Yin.

Under the pitch-black night sky, Qingyan was helped into the carriage by Yin. The innkeeper and Saito sat on the carriage shaft and drove the carriage, and the group quickly moved forward.

After a short while, Qingyan and the others arrived at the entrance of the antique shop. Soldiers from the new army scaled the wall and entered the antique shop, opening the courtyard gate from inside. Yin helped Qingyan prepare to get off the carriage, but Saito stopped them.

Saito couldn't be sure who had sent this person. If it was the princes' in-laws or maternal relatives, then things could get complicated.

To prevent Yin from getting involved, Saito decided to send Xinjun and Tulichen in to search.

"Fourth Master, you don't need to go in. You and the Princess Consort can stay in the carriage. I won't go over there!" Saito said. Tulichen led the soldiers of the New Army over the wall and went in.

A moment later, the courtyard was in chaos. Qingyan, full of curiosity, tried to peek out, but Yin stopped her.

"Little darling, let's just listen to Ah Hun!" Yin patted Little darling's hand, making her stay obediently in the carriage. "This matter is not simple!"

Yin was in a state of panic; this matter would definitely involve the princes, and possibly the concubines as well.

She looked up at the dark night sky outside the window, feeling increasingly uneasy, as if a dark hand was covering everyone's heads.

"Sisi, if we don't get involved, we shouldn't get into any danger, right?" Qingyan was really uneasy.

"No, even if we get involved, it won't affect our five senses!" Yin reassured Xiao Guai, trying to calm her down. (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.)
