About ten days had passed since Consort Yu and Yongqi's conversation; it was now the twenty-fifth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign.
At midnight, inside Yonghe Palace, Yongqi sat upright in his study, while Tianyi stood below him as always. "Master, we have found information about Su Jiarong."
"explain."
"He is the sixth prince of Annam, using the alias Su Jiarong. His first meeting with the mistress was indeed accidental, but afterwards, he seemed to develop an interest in her..."
Tianyi trembled as he spoke, fearing that Yongqi would slap him away at any moment.
“Tianyi, we couldn’t find a single clue before, but now you’ve uncovered everything. Don’t you find that strange?” Yongqi said slowly, wiping the dagger Xiaoyanzi had given him.
"I also find it strange. It seems like he deliberately leaked the news..." He wanted to provoke his master, but he really didn't dare to say the last few words.
"He's declaring war on me!" His intuition was right; this person was after Xiao Yanzi, or perhaps, the Xiao family army.
Annam and Myanmar are the two slightly stronger countries in the south. In recent years, Myanmar has been relatively well-behaved, while Annam has been somewhat restless. However, it has not taken any concrete action, so Yongqi's people have just been observing the situation.
Now, the sixth prince of Annam has set his sights on Aisin Gioro Yongqi's only wife, which makes things complicated.
"Judging by the time, that person should still be within the territory of the Qing Dynasty, right?" He was not the favored sixth prince of Annam, but rather the least anticipated and most disliked prince. Therefore, everyone was happier when he did not appear during the New Year.
"Master, what do you want?" Tianyi wondered, could it be that his master wanted the Sixth Prince to get hurt on the road?
Yongqi smiled and said, "He is the sixth prince of Annam, how can we not treat him well?"
"I'll find his trail and send him some good stuff." Every time he, Xiao Yanzi, and the others get into trouble because of this medicine or that medicine, this time, he'll give them a taste of their own medicine!
"Give the order: play them to the point of death as long as they don't die." The implication was that as long as he didn't die within the Qing Dynasty's borders, they could do whatever they wanted with him.
"But he is, after all, the master of the Underworld. It shouldn't be so easy to deal with him, right?"
Yongqi gave him a cold glance. "That's your problem!"
He only cares about the result, not the process!
"Yes, Master! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
-------------------------------------
At the same time, Xiao Jian was also awake.
"Su Jiarong, Li Chengyun, the sixth prince of Annam, actually have their eyes on my sister. How interesting."
"Master, what should we do now?"
Xiao Jian looked up and said, "I don't need to take action; Yongqi will handle it himself."
Based on his understanding of Yongqi's jealous nature, he knew that this sixth prince of Annam would have a hard time leaving the Qing Dynasty.
"Is there any news from Master Xiaoyanzi?" This Su Jiarong, oh no, it should be Li Chengyun, he probably has a lot of capable people under him, which is why they have all been defeated by medicine one after another.
"Not yet. Senior is elusive, perhaps he doesn't want to get involved in these matters, so he has hidden his whereabouts very well."
Xiao Jian had originally thought that if he found Xiao Yanzi's master, he could get more good things that could resist those drugs, but unexpectedly, he still hadn't found the person.
"Xiao Jian... Xiao Jian..." Xiao Jian, who was deep in thought, heard Qing'er's voice and immediately went to the bedroom.
"Qing'er..." Xiao Jian returned to his room and saw Qing'er calling him with her eyes closed. He knew she had a nightmare, so he quickly woke her up. "Qing'er, I'm here. It was just a nightmare..."
Hearing the voice, Qing'er opened her eyes. "Xiao Jian..." The dream she had just had was too real, and she was still a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to watch over you, nothing will happen!" Although Xiao Jian didn't know what Qing'er had dreamed about, he could guess, so he just comforted her.
But Qing'er was still scared and trembling. Xiao Jian had no choice but to kiss her lips to divert her attention from the nightmare to him.
Sure enough, Xiao Jian's lips seemed to have a magical power; after Qing'er was kissed by him, only the man in front of her could be thought of.
Qing'er clung to him, her exquisite body pressed tightly against him. The temperature gradually rose, and strange noises began to appear in the room.
-------------------------------------
At 9:00 AM, everyone gathered at Shufangzhai.
Yongqi and Xiaojian shared the information they had found with everyone.
Xiao Yanzi and Xia Ziwei were clearly shocked that Su Jiarong was actually the sixth prince of Annam.
Fu Erkang frowned and said, "The way he gets close to Xiao Yanzi, I feel like it's more like he's after Xiao Yanzi's good qualities."
Fu Erkang's intuition told him that the person cared more about power and interests than about love.
Xiao Jian sighed, "Li Chengyun has a tragic past. If he hadn't had the means, he would probably have died at the hands of his brothers long ago. So his purpose is definitely not that simple. Moreover, he experienced so many things in his childhood, so his mentality has probably changed long ago."
His birth mother was murdered, and during the years he lived in the Annamite palace, he was bullied by eunuchs and maids, as well as by princes and princesses. His life was already miserable, but he also had to do everything he could to protect his younger brother and sister. If he hadn't had the means, he probably would have been dead long ago.
Little Swallow coldly replied, "What does it matter to me how hard his life is? If he dares to lay a finger on me, I'll make sure he never leaves!"
Little Swallow's first reaction told her that when she encountered this kind of person, she had to eliminate him completely to prevent future troubles, otherwise he would bring her endless troubles!
Yongqi chimed in, "That's right! So, as long as we don't die, we'll play like we're going to die!"
Anyone who dares to covet his woman is doomed!
Seeing Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi's identical attitudes, everyone became a little scared. Fuertai asked curiously, "So how do you want to play?"
Little Swallow glanced at it and shook her head, saying, "This is something you shouldn't know!"
Yongqi nodded. "Little Swallow is right, Ertai. You should focus your attention on your marriage with Saiya!"
"..." Seeing the couple's identical attitude, Forte was speechless. "I'm not a child anymore. What can't I listen to? Is it that perverted?"
Little Swallow wanted to say something more, but to dispel Fu Ertai's curiosity, Saiya came in.
"Fine, you guys have a meeting here and didn't even invite me!" Saiya glared at everyone angrily. "We're all friends, what can't we talk about?"
Little Swallow patiently explained, "Saiya, your world is full of sunshine, so you and Ertai should just stay in your sunny world. Leave everything else to us!"
Fu Erkang nodded, "Yes, the most important thing for you right now is your wedding. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Yongqi looked at Fu Erkang and said, "Erkang, after Ertai and Saiya's wedding is over, Father Emperor wants to take us all on a private tour. We have a lot to do next!"
Upon hearing this, Saiya exclaimed excitedly, "An incognito tour? That means the Emperor is taking you all out for fun? That's wonderful! I want to go with you all!"
