The continuous torrential rain put Qingyan in a bad mood. The disaster victims were forced to stay in their tents, and some of them were starting to get restless. The guards also increased patrols around the area to prevent the disaster victims from causing trouble.
The Crown Prince, who was far away in the Northwest providing disaster relief, sent a letter pleading for help. If she hadn't been by her side, the situation here would probably be the same as the two over there.
"Fourth Prince, are we really going to help the Crown Prince?" Qingyan disliked the Crown Prince, and now, looking at the letter sent by Yin, she could no longer hide her anger.
Yin had prepared provisions in advance, which were basically prepared by the two of them through their private relationship, and they had a relationship with the Ministry of Revenue involving a copper coin.
"Si Si, we absolutely cannot help." Qing Yan counted the grain and fodder, and it was far from enough to sustain the Ministry of Revenue.
Yin touched Qingyan's little face. Everyone knew that Kangxi favored the crown prince. After lunch, Fei Yanggu and others would probably receive Kangxi's secret order. It was unclear whether the list would be ordered to be used for rescue.
He pulled Qingyan into his arms, drawing energy from her. Little darling, it's better if you don't understand these things.
"Fourth Master, His Majesty's secret order has arrived!" Fei Yanggu's voice rang out at the tent entrance. Qingyan felt Yin's body stiffen, and his face immediately darkened.
Fei Yanggu walked into the tent and saw his youngest daughter with a stern face. He could only sigh inwardly that Kangxi's order was inappropriate.
"Fourth Uncle, what does Father mean?" Yin was not quite sure.
"His Majesty's meaning is that everyone should rely on their own abilities." Fei Yanggu opened the secret letter given to him, which instructed him absolutely not to let Yin help him.
Qingyan breathed a huge sigh of relief; those things were hard-won.
"Has His Majesty found out about Consort Wuya?" Qingyan was interested in this matter; she disliked Consort De the most.
Her almond-shaped eyes were full of curiosity. If the weather were a little better, she would definitely run to the Liang family to watch the play.
These past few days, Liangjia Village has been quite lively, it's said. A group of people have arrived from the capital, supposedly the woman's biological parents.
Those people said that the woman had been abducted as a child and had not been found for many years. Today, they received the news and came directly.
The villagers of Liangjia Village certainly wouldn't dare. It's not easy for the young men in the village to get married, and they certainly can't return a good wife.
Furthermore, the middle-aged couple who came looking for someone were dressed in fine clothes, clearly not from an ordinary wealthy family, but rather seemed to be from the Manchu banners.
Fei Yanggu nodded. The middle-aged man searching for someone was a guard who had left the Dragon Guard decades ago. Even though his identity had become public, he still followed Kangxi's orders.
"Little darling, you're not allowed to go watch the play!" Fei Yanggu believed that Kangxi would have the Dragon Guards take the person away, perhaps hoping to get information from the woman.
Qingyan pouted after being scolded by him. For over a decade, Fei Yanggu had cherished her and never spoken a harsh word to her. Her eyes welled up with tears; her father no longer loved her.
She radiated sadness, which everyone around her could sense.
"Little darling, Father... wasn't talking about you!" Fei Yanggu stiffened when he saw Qingyan's expression change immediately.
He strode forward, picked up Xiao Guai, and coaxed her. This habit, ingrained over decades, made Fei Yanggu inwardly groan that he was really getting old, actually making Xiao Guai sad.
"Fourth Uncle, I'm here!" Yin took two steps forward and pulled Yin back into his arms. He would never let anyone lay a finger on Qingyan.
Fei Yanggu was stunned. This Fourth Prince never cared about other people's feelings. What was going on?
"I don't want you to hold me, I want to find my father!" Qingyan snorted, jumped off Yin's lap, and snuggled up to sit next to Fei Yanggu.
They were clearly hiding something from her; otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Yin shook his head helplessly, knowing that Xiao Guai would definitely get angry if she knew that she was restricted from going to the theater.
“The affairs of the Uya clan are not something you can interfere with.” Seeing that Qingyan and Yin were angry, Fei Yanggu felt sorry for Yin.
Xiao Guai isn't an unreasonable person; the truth they're hiding is indeed the most important.
"Explain yourself!" Qingyan snapped.
Since yesterday, she has clearly sensed that the guards in the main tent have been replaced, which makes her afraid to enter the space at night.
Yin and Fei Yanggu exchanged a glance; he must have noticed something amiss about the place where he knew Qingyan's secrets.
"Fourth Uncle, what do you think?" Yin was concerned about Qingyan's safety. He had an excuse for keeping her in the tent when it was raining. What if it were sunny?
"Fine, let's tell the truth." Fei Yanggu shook his head helplessly.
Qingyan looked around, wondering how much more was going on here.
Both Eshuo and Saito quietly left the disaster relief tent. In just two days, something unexpected had happened. The main tent and the refugees' quarters were now surrounded by guards, with sentries every three steps and patrols every five steps. The previous harmonious atmosphere was completely gone.
“Little darling, there are anti-Qing and pro-Ming people mixed in among those disaster victims. The identity of the Uya clan still needs to be investigated.” Yin couldn’t help but sigh. If it was confirmed that the Uya clan was a member of the former Ming imperial family, he would be suspected by Kangxi to some extent.
ah?!
Qingyan opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
Emperor Yongzheng!
Could I really just get slapped like that?
Qingyan's face turned deathly pale instantly. This involved a lot of things and would definitely become a knot in Kangxi's heart.
"Father, really?" Qingyan listened to Yin's words and couldn't believe it was true.
"Hehe, it's true, His Majesty has already entrusted the matter to me!" Fei Yanggu had to say that Kangxi did not want the matter of the Uya clan to be confirmed, but he also did not want to be deceived.
The ministers below all had their own selfish motives to some extent, but Fei Yanggu was different. He and Wei Dongting were sent to Kangxi's side when they were young. The head of the Dragon Guard taught the three of them. Apart from Kangxi, the rest of them were also taught to be loyal.
Yin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Fei Yanggu's abilities. In his previous life, Kangxi was wary of them, but Yin knew the ranks and did not understand Fei Yanggu's identity.
With Consort Tong still alive, Emperor Kangxi's favor towards Yinzhen was even greater, and many loyal people no longer concealed this fact.
In recent years, the Crown Prince has increasingly relied on Suo'etu's opinions in his actions, which Kangxi has noticed and regretted.
Kangxi disliked the idea of placing too much importance on his wife's family and clan.
The Ulanara clan are all sensible people. Except for the Gioro clan, which is somewhat incompetent, their descendants are all loyal to the royal family.
Seeing Yin breathe a sigh of relief, Qingyan didn't take the matter to heart.
"The weather's cleared up, I'll take you to see it!" After much consideration, Yin decided to let Qingyan go see the show. While they were away from the tent, Furong Feiyanggu cleaned up all the unclean people.
Fei Yanggu understood Yin's wish and immediately showed a loving expression. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
