Not to mention Emperor Kangxi, even Harigana, who was extremely sleepy, could hear Li Dequan's anxiety.
"Come in!"
Kangxi held the person in his arms tightly, making sure there was nothing wrong, and then called out towards the door.
Li Dequan was truly terrified at this moment, and he no longer cared about how they were sitting together.
Upon entering the inner hall, she knelt on the ground without even raising her head, her voice filled with trepidation and unease: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, the Princess has left the palace with His Highness the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Little Princess."
Emperor Kangxi frowned. These people often left the palace; what was there to make a fuss about?
But looking outside, it was already getting late, and since Saenjiya and Baoliri were not in the capital, could they be going to Yinti's place?
"emperor!"
Before Kangxi could ask any questions, Li Dequan quickly added, "Wei Yi said that the princess and the others have already left the city."
"What?"
"ah?"
Kangxi and Harigana simultaneously asked, "Are they going to leave the city?"
At this point, Kangxi stopped asking Li Dequan and directly summoned Wei Yi for questioning.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince summoned the Princess to the Qianqing Palace. The two then spoke quietly for a long time. Finally, His Highness the Crown Prince went to find the Fifth Prince, and the Princess went to find the Little Princess."
Those following them saw that the group had brought nothing and were saying they were going to find the Great Prince, so they didn't report it.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage did not go to the Grand Prince's residence. Instead, they rode their horses out of the city, and only after reaching several miles outside the capital did they produce a letter for the servants accompanying them.
As Wei Yi spoke, he took out the letter in his hand and handed it to Li Dequan, who quickly took it and presented it to Kangxi.
Harigana remained silent, as if she had just brought those kids along and was planning something.
"Nonsense!"
Upon reading the letter, Emperor Kangxi trembled with anger.
If Li Dequan and Wei Yi hadn't been holding Harigana in their arms, they probably would have been kicked to the ground by now.
"You can go down now, Li Dequan, send more men over there."
Harigana gently patted Kangxi's chest, signaling him not to be angry.
You're forty years old; you can't keep getting angry like this.
Besides, what's the point of getting angry when things have already happened?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wei Yi and Li Dequan quickly took their leave.
Once outside, Li Dequan pulled Wei Yi aside and said, "Send more people over there; covert protection is more important."
"Sending too many people from my side will easily attract attention."
The two whispered among themselves for a long time before finally deciding to send twenty secret guards and twenty bodyguards.
This was the first time anyone had encountered such a special situation. Not to mention Li Dequan, even the battle-hardened Wei Yi was having a headache.
At this moment, in the sleeping quarters, Harigana looked at Kangxi with a half-smile.
They said that Yinfu and Bayalige were not the type to accept things passively, and that they should scheme against their son.
This time, I was tricked by my son and daughter. If I wasn't afraid of breaking his defenses, I would really like to ask him what he really felt.
"Jiaojiao".
Kangxi was somewhat helpless under Harigana's gaze. He was angry, yet the little woman was still laughing.
"So what if they went? They're teenagers, and they have bodyguards with them. What big problems could there be?"
Besides, if they don't experience the harsh realities of society and the various aspects of human nature, how can they possibly understand the good intentions of their elders?
Harigana is not without worries, but compared to worry, she hopes that the children will grow up in the way she wants them to.
At least when I grow up, I won't have any regrets, feeling that my childhood lacked a lot of fun.
"Xuan Ye, don't worry. Although they are princes and princesses, they are still human beings."
Only when they experience it firsthand do they know what is right and what is hardship.
Whether he went to the south of the Yangtze River or to the grasslands, he was always with you, his father, surrounded by a whole bunch of servants.
They learned nothing but watch.
This is the perfect opportunity to let them experience hardship.
As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain."
Emperor Kangxi felt that it made a lot of sense, but at the same time he thought it was fallacy.
Yinfu is going to be the emperor in the future, what hardships would he need to endure?
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Didn't he often take Harigana to visit the surrounding villages to see what kind of life the people were living?
"Xuan Ye, that's enough, stop thinking about it."
Don't worry, there won't be any problems.
Looking at the man with his brows furrowed, she shook his neck and said, "When you get back, give them a good beating. No matter the reason, running away from home without saying goodbye is definitely wrong."
How could Harigana not be worried?
But compared to her worries, she still hopes that her children can go out and explore.
"Jiaojiao, the New Year is just around the corner."
Kangxi's meaning was clear: he wanted to bring those people back.
Harigana quickly stopped them: "No, no, no, let them go out and try it themselves."
When they were young, we provided them with a lot of protection; now that they've grown up, they need to protect themselves.
This journey was also an important life experience.
Emperor Kangxi strongly disagreed, fearing something might go wrong, but he didn't want to go against Harigana's wishes, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"Alright, I'd like to see how long they can hold out."
Both of them knew perfectly well that the whole thing was caused by Yin Fu, but in the end, it was Bayalige who made the final decision.
Emperor Kangxi doted on Bayalige immensely, never even flinching when he took the imperial seal out to play.
So no one discussed the division of responsibility among the children; once they returned, they were all reprimanded equally.
However, this matter was kept secret, and outsiders did not know that they had secretly run away from home.
The crown prince's actions, regardless of the reason, have damaged his reputation.
At this moment, in a dilapidated temple fifty miles from the capital, Fourth Brother's child and several servants were sleeping soundly.
"Egeqi, is this... going to work?"
Chasu and Hairi looked at each other, neither of them expecting things to turn out this way.
They wanted to send a message back, but they didn't have the manpower.
These are princes and princesses, some of the emperor's favorite children.
If the messenger is not reliable, one would not dare to ask them for help.
If this were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, who knows what unpredictable and serious things might happen.
But the two of them were terrified, while the other four were sleeping soundly on the haystack.
It's fair to say that if they hadn't been certain that these four people were children they had watched grow up, they would have thought they came from some poor family.
Seriously, they don't mind at all.
"Chasu, the eldest young master has already sent people back. We just need to protect them well."
With two masters in charge, just follow their orders.
Compared to Chasu, Hai Ri's emotions are still quite stable.
From the moment she stepped out of the city gate, she had a bad feeling and immediately warned the people around her not to call them "prince" or "princess," but to call them "young master" and "young lady."
"oh."
