At this moment, Yinzhi was in a state of utter confusion. Kangxi's direct pointing this out must have meant that he had received news that Suo'etu's scheme had failed.
In the center of the tent, the imperial censors accompanying the army knelt. She pouted slightly. This time, they not only targeted Yin, but also Fei Yanggu and his two sons.
With the censor's impassioned accusations, Fei Yanggu's inner court was in chaos, to the point that the health of many royal women had been harmed, and they could not tolerate this.
Seeing the situation was about to escalate, Qingyan was secretly anxious and hoped to help her father. Her soul entered the space and she took small steps back and forth in the living room. Suddenly, she remembered that there were lightning-striking talismans in the space supermarket.
Using this lightning-striking talisman on someone will be like incurring divine punishment.
If Kangxi were struck by lightning inside the imperial tent, he would probably bear some responsibility. However, the four censors would bear even greater responsibility. Even Heaven couldn't stand their framing of loyal officials. She thought this matter was plausible.
Her chubby little body quickly moved to the desk. Looking at the price of the lightning-splitting talisman, she felt a pang of heartache. She glanced at the two impassioned censors, while the other two were still speaking up for Fei Yanggu.
"Hmph, I'll just buy two. I'll have to work hard to earn money in the future." Qingyan clenched her little paws and ordered two lightning-splitting talismans. Holding the talisman in one hand and the timer in the other, her soul returned to her body.
Yin sensed the murderous aura emanating from Qingyan. He looked down and saw the little guy's eyes blazing with anger.
The two censors in front of her were clearly denouncing Fei Yanggu, and their words were getting increasingly harsh, which inevitably angered her.
Hearing the two censors address him as "Lord Ulanara" repeatedly, Qingyan silently recited a spell in his mind and instantly shot two talismans into their bodies. This series of actions did not escape Yin's eyes. He couldn't help but smile; his little darling wouldn't let her family get hurt so easily. He nervously looked up at Kangxi, and sure enough, Kangxi was also frozen in place by the timer.
"Fourth Brother! You're actually alright?" Qingyan turned around and was taken aback when she saw Yin's smiling eyes.
"It's good that you're alright." Those five simple words calmed Qingyan's panicked heart.
She returned to his embrace, silently reciting something in her heart.
Yin was on her side, so he definitely wouldn't tell Kangxi.
A moment later, two muffled claps of thunder resounded through the sky, and two bright bolts of lightning ripped through the sky, striking the two angry-looking censors.
Immediately, everyone present gaped in astonishment, even Emperor Kangxi was unsettled, and his anxiety about what would happen next grew.
In the Qing Dynasty, whenever a natural disaster occurred that could not be explained by normal phenomena, the emperor would issue an edict of self-reproach.
The two men, who were passionate and righteous just moments before, were instantly charred black, their eyes blinking, completely terrified.
"Quickly summon the imperial physician!" Fuquan was the first to regain his senses and immediately gave the order.
Li Dequan quickly ran outside. This matter absolutely could not be allowed to involve the emperor; otherwise, the consequences would be dire. Yin looked up at the top of the tent and saw that it was completely intact.
Qingyan was startled by the thunder and stood there dumbfounded, as if she had been frightened.
"Little darling, it's alright!" Looking at her pale face and fearful eyes, Yin's heart softened even more.
She was angry at those who hurt Feiyangu, without considering the consequences of this tribulation.
"Don't be afraid, this has nothing to do with you." Yin's words made everyone nod, and Qingyan's dazed little face made everyone feel sad.
"Little darling, it's alright, it's alright." Longxi sat next to Yin, patted Qingyan's little head, and whispered softly.
Longxi remembered being frightened by the shrill cries of Consort Dong'e when he was young, and how his nanny had comforted him. Qingyan, now in ninth grade, was understandably terrified by this situation where she couldn't be the officiant.
"Waaah..." Qingyan burst into tears. She didn't know if she was frightened by the darkness in her heart or by the two censors who looked like neither human nor ghost.
Yin held Qingyan tightly, comforting her while casting pleading glances at Kangxi.
"Fourth Prince, let Xiao Guai stay here and watch over her." Kangxi also felt sorry for her. This was Qingyan's first emotional ordeal, and they wanted to help her through it. Indulging her would only hurt her.
Yin embraced Qingyan and gently soothed her slightly out-of-control emotions.
She was merely frightened by reality; most importantly, she couldn't let Kangxi suspect her.
If the tribulation of lightning occurs, these two will definitely not be given important responsibilities, and may even lose their lives as a result.
“Little darling, this is their retribution,” Chang Ning advised her.
Just now, these two people made their proposal, and the Ulanara clan can no longer use it. What a disaster this will bring to the Feiyanggu family.
Qingyan nestled against Yin's shoulder, her little mouth pouting. Although she understood Yin's meaning, she couldn't get over it.
When Li Dequan led the imperial physician into the imperial tent, the tent was already surrounded by the imperial guards. These men were mostly from the Upper Three Banners, and they were puzzled by the chaotic scene inside the tent.
The tent flap was lifted, revealing two dark figures inside, reminding them of the thunder they had just heard.
Divine retribution!
Hundreds of imperial guards were sweating profusely. If His Majesty expressed his displeasure, would they still be alive?
"Stop bowing, hurry up and be quiet!" Kangxi recovered from his shock, still stunned by what he had just witnessed.
At this moment, he became even more convinced of what Master Yuanyi had said: Qingyan was a lucky star of the Qing Dynasty, and Heaven would not let those she cared about be framed.
The imperial physicians quickly checked the pulses of the two censors, who were completely stunned by the explosion and had no idea why they had ended up in this state.
"Your Majesty, he was merely struck by lightning." The imperial physician spoke with extreme caution; he was determined not to interfere in the matter.
Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that no one had died.
Their words also dissipated the threat they posed to Feiyangu; who would believe that what the man who had suffered the lightning strike said was true?
In the imperial court, the other censors will certainly seize this opportunity to make trouble; they will not let go of any chance to rise in rank.
"Are you sure it was struck by lightning?" Kangxi stood up, and Fuquan and the others were secretly surprised. They looked at the top of the imperial tent together. They had clearly seen lightning, but the top of the tent was unharmed.
Everyone was secretly astonished. Master Yuanyi had once said that Qingyan was Heaven's...favored...child, and they hadn't believed it then. Now, their disbelief had turned into belief. They all thought of Yin, the prince most suited to Qingyan. Could it be that Yin was the prince destined to ascend to the throne?
At this moment, not only did the ministers' gaze towards Yin change, but even the gazes of Fuquan and others changed.
"Once we leave the imperial tent, no one is allowed to discuss this matter further." Kangxi's words prompted everyone to quickly agree.
