The concubines in the palaces were not stupid people. After Yinreng explained the pros and cons in a few words, everyone followed Yinreng's instructions and quickly left the Qianqing Palace with their close relatives.
Now, except for the trusted palace maids, everyone else around these masters has run away, and they are so shaky that they walk in their flower-pot-bottomed clothes.
Yinreng roared,
"Take off your shoes and go!"
Upon hearing this, everyone no longer cared about maintaining their decency. They took off their shoes and ran out wearing only socks.
Wen Xian led Tangdouer and followed Uya, and looked at Yinreng and Guaerjia worriedly. After receiving Yinreng's look, she quickly put the worry behind her.
She wanted to follow her second brother and his wife, but at this time, her second brother might also be one of the targets of the rebels.
If she follows them, she will become too big a target and will become a burden to them.
After much deliberation, Wen Xian finally followed Concubine De back to Yonghe Palace.
Yinreng originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to see which concubine was calmer, so as to determine who was the mastermind behind the rebellion. However, after observing for a moment, he found that there was no flaw in everyone's expression.
I don’t know if he is pretending or he really doesn’t know.
Yinreng thought he had a good eye, but he couldn't see any problems, which meant that these people really knew nothing about this rebellion.
Before he could think about it, he was startled by the gunshots outside that were getting closer and closer.
He didn't expect the rebels to arrive so quickly.
Yinreng squatted down and let the Queen Mother lie on his back.
"Ma, come up quickly, there's no time to waste."
But the Queen Mother shook her head and refused.
"Baocheng, Mama has lived long enough. You should leave now. Don't take me with you as a burden..."
Yinreng didn't listen to her at all and yelled at Yinzhi.
"Boss, come and help!"
Yinzhi was checking the situation at the door, and ran to him when he heard the words, picked up the Queen Mother, and put her on Yinreng's back.
"Where are you taking Mama?"
Yinzhi asked anxiously.
"Ningshou Palace is in front of Qianqing Palace, so we definitely can't go there. I'll take Mama to hide in the cold palace, and you should leave as soon as possible!"
Yinreng winked at Guaerjia, and the two of them quickly ran towards the back door.
Yinzhi narrowed his eyes. He had already sent his mother, his wife, and even his children back to his mother's bedroom. The reason he gave was reasonable. He wanted to go find his royal father.
Several people had no doubt that his top priority now was to follow Yinreng.
Yinzhen also held the same idea as him, but...
The two men glanced at Yinreng's departing back, listened to the gunshots getting closer and closer, and decided to leave a signal for Yin'er first.
When the two of them chased out again, Yinreng had already run a long way away with the empress dowager on his back.
On the other side, after Kangxi left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he quickly ran to the South Study of the Palace of Heavenly Purity with his personal guards.
But the South Study was just a cover. Even if the rebels really found the entrance to the secret room from the South Study, they would not be able to get in.
His real destination was the imperial kitchen.
That’s right, the secret room he used to hide in was not built in the Qianqing Palace, but in the imperial kitchen next to the Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi was extremely concerned about his life. After he took power, he began to order people to build secret passages.
At that time, in addition to the imperial kitchen, the places he was interested in were Yinreng's Yuqing Palace.
Both places are relatively close to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
But later he thought about it for a long time and felt that Yuqing Palace was not safe, so he placed another exit in the imperial kitchen.
However, he had too many concerns at the beginning and did not dare to build too many exits. Otherwise, once the location of the exits was discovered and someone used the secret passage to assassinate him in the South Study, the threat to him would be too great.
So in the end, only two exits were set up: the South Study and the Imperial Kitchen.
Now that a rebellion had really occurred, Kangxi felt both angry and somewhat relieved.
As long as Zhuo Dan takes his jade pendant and mobilizes troops into the palace, he still has a chance of quelling the rebellion.
After Kangxi hid in the secret room, he waited anxiously.
At the same time, he was also trying to determine which prince was so bold as to be so arrogant.
After thinking for a long time, he finally set his sights on Yinsi.
Because he had recently publicly mocked Yinsi's background, and the Nine Gates Commander was his subordinate. It would be impossible to bypass his spies and rebel on the Wanshou Festival without the cooperation of the Nine Gates Commander.
Kangxi was filled with hatred.
He is indeed the son of a lowly maid. He should have been strangled to death when he was born!
Yinsi and Yinzhi followed Kangxi all the way into the Southern Study. Because Yinreng deliberately avoided Kangxi's route, the two groups did not collide in the end.
The two searched in the South Study for a long time, but they still couldn't find the entrance to the secret room until Yinzhen came in with his men.
After a brief conversation between the few of them, Yinzhen frowned after understanding the situation.
They are not sure where the secret passage leads to. If the old man escapes, their operation today will fail.
The longer you delay, the more dangerous it becomes.
At this moment, an old figure walked out from behind Yinzhen.
"I know where the mechanism is."
When the three heard this, they immediately showed joy on their faces.
"Take us there quickly!"
"You know? Then hurry up!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Liang!"
This person was Liang Jiugong who went out to investigate the situation.
Faced with the three excited people, Liang Jiugong did not delay any longer and started searching in the painting jars in the South Study. After a while, he fiddled with one of the paintings.
With a "click" sound, a narrow opening appeared behind the desk, only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Yinzhen ordered his soldiers to surround the Qianqing Palace inside and outside, and called some people to explore the way, and then asked Yinzhi to stay outside to guard it.
Yinzhi was weak, and if there was any trap inside, he would have difficulty even dodging it.
Yin'er and Yin'si didn't want anything to happen to him.
At this critical juncture, Yinzhi did not act pretentiously and brought his men to guard the Southern Study.
After Yinsi and the other two left, Yinzhi was afraid that the cunning rabbit would have three burrows, so he assigned some people to guard the Southern Study, while he himself wandered around the Qianqing Palace.
When he searched the rear hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, someone discovered the marks left by Yinzhi and Yinzhen.
Yinzhi then had a general understanding of where the two of them were going.
After searching the rear hall of the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhi went out through the corner gate. However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he heard a loud noise.
Yinzhi was startled and ran directly along the palace road outside the Qianqing Palace to the corner gate next to the South Study. When he wanted to enter the Qianqing Palace to investigate the situation, he was stopped by someone.
After the young goalkeeper explained the situation to him, Yinzhi finally understood.
It turned out that the entrance to the secret passage had been blocked, and Yin'er and Yinsi were trying to blow up the passage with grenades. Now it was not safe in the South Study. Not to mention him, even Yinsi and Yin'er had left the South Study and were waiting for news in the open space outside.
