Half an hour later, the group returned to the royal tent. Tulichen brought back all the jewelry he had found inside the tent, including some exquisite gold hairpins and other items.

Kangxi sat on the throne, listening to Tulichen's report, and looked at the headdresses found at the scene. He couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Fourth Prince's wife, come and see for yourself!" Kangxi directly ordered a banquet.

The design drawings for Linglong Pavilion were all created by Qingyan, and each headdress has its own unique features.

Qingyan examined these headdresses; they were not a complete set, but rather two or three sets that had been disassembled.

Many of the jewelry pieces on the plate were disassembled, and some were even made from raw materials delivered by the buyers themselves, with Qingyan personally designing them based on the gemstones.

"Little darling, how did you see it?" Kangxi was a little anxious. The Mongol leaders probably knew about the fire, and Kangxi couldn't give a reasonable explanation, which would probably cause quite a stir.

Qingyan was a little anxious, as there were only two pieces of jewelry among her headdress that were not from Linglong Pavilion.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, these three pieces are not produced by Linglong Pavilion. Although the style and gemstones imitate the same jewelry as Linglong Pavilion, they do not bear the Linglong Pavilion mark. These small hairpins are very inexpensive, so many people use them.” Qingyan pointed out the places where the marks should have been on the hairpins that were not marked.

When Kangxi took it in his hand, he saw that, sure enough, the marks Qingyan pointed to were all blank. On the other side, Qingyan took off several similar marks from his head for comparison.

She has always loved cloisonné hairpins and wears them in her hair every day.

"In addition, there's something wrong with these two hairpins; they must have come into contact with something highly corrosive!" Qingyan quickly said.

Highly corrosive?!

Everyone present looked completely bewildered. Was this a new term?

"After being touched, the gold hairpin will slowly change color!" Qingyan's words made Kangxi understand.

Yin looked at her. Linglong Pavilion was Qingyan's favorite property, and he had always put all the useful knowledge into drawing.

"Little Darling, are you sure?" Kangxi was somewhat incredulous. He glanced in Tulichen's direction, and Tulichen nodded.

“Your Majesty, what the Fourth Princess Consort said is absolutely right. This servant suspects that something stuck to the outer layer of the gold hairpin came into contact with something and spontaneously combusted. They are trying to pin the blame on the Fourth Princess Consort. This is clearly a trap set by someone,” Tulichen reported.

The atmosphere inside the imperial tent instantly became tense. Among the several wives, Qingyan was the least shrewd. If the Mongols were to find an opportunity to strike, their target would definitely be Qingyan.

"Fourth Prince's wife, is this true?" Consort Tong asked, somewhat uneasy.

Qingyan nodded and said, "Mother, these imitation hairpins are extremely similar; most people would definitely not be able to tell the difference."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Gega. The scheming of the women in the backyard had pushed Zui Zui'e onto the royal family, clearly putting Mongolia's position too high.

"Gege, did you hear that?" Kangxi looked down at Gega. "Clean up the backyard yourself before you come back."

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, instructing Gega to tidy up the backyard.

"The rest of you have dispersed. In a few days, Gega should give me a satisfactory answer!" Kangxi said directly.

After everyone paid their respects, they left the imperial tent. Yin and Yin walked side by side, one in front of the other.

"Fourth brother, what do you think?" Yin asked, looking at the sunset over the grassland.

Yin pondered for a moment and then said, "It must be an internal matter of the grasslands. Gega's heir is the son of this Granin. The primary consort should be somewhat wary of Granin. The jewelry from Linglong Pavilion should have been prepared before the trip."

The headdresses made by Linglong Pavilion take a long time to produce, and the craftsmen in Mongolia would probably take even longer. If they were to make these few similar gold hairpins, they must have been selected from among many similar gold hairpins.

"This time, Mongolia is probably doomed." The noble ladies of Khorchin are all ruthless, and the Empress Dowager was extremely cruel in her youth.

The two brothers fought side by side, but this time the problem was quite serious.

"Fortunately, Xiao Guai knows the markings on every set of jewelry from Linglong Pavilion like the back of her hand; otherwise, Linglong Pavilion would have been blamed for the misdeeds of the Mongolian women!" Yin was furious.

He couldn't protect his wife. If anything happened, Xiao Guai would be bullied. He hated his own powerlessness. If he had power, Xiao Guai wouldn't be so passive.

"Endure!" Yin warned in a low voice.

The character for "patience" has a knife above it, meaning both brothers must be patient.

"Brother, I know you're unhappy." Yin understood his brothers' talents; after ascending the throne, he would ensure each of them worked for the Qing Dynasty. "How much has Xiao Guai done? How has the royal family treated her?"

Yin felt guilty. Qingyan had earned a lot of money for the Imperial Household Department. However, with a single imperial edict from Kangxi, the Minsheng Pharmacy and Fulaishun were seized. After the servants of the Imperial Household Department took over, they did not bring any convenience to the people, and the reputation they had painstakingly built up was ruined.

Nowadays, the people are all aware that Minsheng Pharmacy and Fulaishun have been prepared by the Imperial Household Department.

"Fourth Prince, Father Emperor is doing this for the good of the Qing Dynasty!" Yin's mouth was full of bitterness.

Qingyan and Yingenjueluo stood at the bottom of the hillside, their little faces scrunched up, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of trouble is this? Linglong Pavilion has prepared so much jewelry for the ladies, and now, whenever there's a problem, the first person they suspect is me!" Qingyan was in a terrible mood.

Yin Genjue Luo patted her shoulder to help her relax.

Later that evening, Yin came down from the hillside and took Qingyan back to the tent. She sat on the soft couch, gazing absently at the scenery outside the window.

"Little darling, you've been wronged!" President Yin thought that if he were more capable, he wouldn't let Little darling suffer any injustice.

She shook her head, feeling extremely downcast; her good intentions had been misunderstood.

"Fourth Brother, Qiu Mi is no fun at all." Qing Yan frowned, feeling that it would be better to stay in the capital.

Yin patted her little head and sat down beside her.

She leaned on his shoulder, staring blankly at the top of the tent.

"Yin, what do you think we're doing this for?" Qingyan was somewhat disheartened by the Linglong Pavilion incident.

She helped Yin find various information, but in the end, she was treated like this by the royal family. It would be a miracle if she was in a good mood.

Even the Mongolian women were turning their attention to her, which sent chills down her spine.

"Little darling, don't worry, from now on, no one will target you anymore!" Yin turned his head and kissed her forehead. When he turned his head to look at the ground, his eyes were icy cold.

Qingyan didn't care what others said, as long as Yin didn't think he was wrong.

Seeing the little girl lost in thought, he couldn't help but press her down beneath him, his burning lips meeting hers. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
