In the evening, the Fourth Prince was summoned to his courtyard by the Imperial Household Department to be flogged, and the concubines in the harem were terrified by the news.
Many of the palace concubines came from prominent families, whose members had long since reached out to the princes. Yinzhi, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. With Yinzhi's antics, he had crossed the line of these powerful families. Would they really let him off the hook?
Qingyan was also a little worried, so she gave Yin an antidote pill, fearing that he might be poisoned.
Originally, Yin wanted to refuse, as the pills Qingyan mysteriously produced were becoming increasingly scarce, and he wanted to save them for the most crucial moment.
"Sisi, you can't get hurt. Even if those things are gone, you can still hold up the sky for me!" Qingyan said firmly, her almond-shaped eyes flashing.
"Alright, from now on, you can hide under my wing and slack off!" Yin said with a chuckle. This little guy was too lazy to do anything else.
"Fourth Prince, what should we do about the Imperial Concubine?" Qingyan frowned, somewhat annoyed.
The things they uncovered could not alarm Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong; otherwise, if they were questioned, they would not be able to reveal the information about Lanyuan.
The two men were well aware that Kangxi was a suspicious emperor, and if things were not handled properly, even Yinzhen would become suspicious.
"I'll accompany you to pay your respects tomorrow. You go and keep Mother company. I'll handle things!" Yin had come up with a plan. Those people had relatives in the Prince's Residence. As long as something happened to them, they would panic.
Early in the morning, Qingyan woke up, hoping to see a good show. She watched as breakfast was served without letting Yin urge her to eat, and started masturbating.
After breakfast, Yin took Qingyan to Chenggan Palace to pay his respects. On the way, he instructed Xiaoguai on how to persuade Consort Tong and that if she asked how he knew, she should shift all the blame onto him.
If a prince develops some spies, Emperor Kangxi will not only not blame him, but will be very happy about it.
"Fourth Brother, do you really think we can get through this?" Qingyan looked at Yin.
She had never done anything underhanded, and now her new product was progressing even faster.
"Of course, that's reality, little darling. In this beautiful place, it's either you or me!" Yin couldn't help but sigh. Little darling is better suited to being raised in a greenhouse, without having to endure the wind and sun outside.
snort!
Qingyan turned her head. Every time Yin spoke to her with that expression, it meant he disliked her for being too soft-hearted.
Every time she attacked, someone would be beaten to death in front of her. How could outsiders understand such complex feelings?
"I understand!" Qingyan nodded. Yin had given her face, allowing her time to adapt.
After arriving at Chenggan Palace, Qingyan went to pay her respects to Consort Tong alone. The latter was puzzled as to why Yin had not come in with Qingyan.
"Little darling, what happened to Yin?" Yin was with Qingyan, and the little guy was a bit confused, often asking about small details.
Qingyan shook her head, looking at Consort Tong with a puzzled expression.
Consort Tong sighed. Oh well, Yin likes to protect the little one. She said that even if he flew away, Yin wouldn't budge.
"Mother, please don't make things difficult for Xiao'er, she doesn't know anything!" After entering, Yin bowed to Consort Tong, and Su Peisheng, along with Yin's shadow guards, escorted several maids to kneel in the hall.
“This is…” Consort Tong looked at the several maids who were crying out that they were wronged.
These past few days, she's been in charge of the tea room; she must have someone backing her up.
"Mother, yesterday, when Xiao Guai and I were having dinner, Xiao Su almost drugged me. A new palace maid who had just gone to the prince's quarters tried to climb into my bed. I was furious and summoned the Imperial Household Department to have her beaten to death!" Yin blamed the servant for the incident last night.
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Tong frowned. Emperor Kangxi valued the marriage between Yin and Qingyan very much. The prince had made a bold promise, and Emperor Kangxi had tacitly agreed.
"Who dares to do this!" Emperor Kangxi walked in from outside the door, having just returned from court, when he heard such explosive words.
Emperor Kangxi's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito. Consort Tong quickly stood up and, with her two children, paid her respects to Emperor Kangxi.
"Get up and kowtow, Lanya. It's time to deal with the servants in the harem!" Kangxi was reminded by the servant who was beaten to death by Yinzhi, so he ordered someone to investigate. Sure enough, there were servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation who had betrayed their master. Kangxi had been holding back, but their masters were not only the Empress Dowager and important officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I was really angry because I didn't ask for permission. My little darling is so young, if she uses those medicines, it will ruin her health and virtue." Yin was most annoyed by the servants' 'good intentions'.
Kangxi nodded, indicating his agreement with Yin's statement. Back then, Empress Dowager Tong had often beaten to death the servants who served him, and among these servants were illegitimate daughters arranged by the Khorchin.
"These people?!" Kangxi stared at the servants in the hall, two of whom he had personally brought.
Yin revealed the names of the masters behind these people. These people, who had been begging for mercy and crying out for their innocence, lost all color in their faces when they heard the names of their masters.
"Very well!" Kangxi smashed his teacup, and Consort Tong led everyone to kneel on the ground. The emperor was furious, and they all had to apologize.
"Your Majesty, it is my fault for being so incompetent!" Consort Tong was filled with hatred. Borjigit had been hiding someone by her side all along. Back then, her health was getting weaker and weaker. The pearl powder sent by Qingyan could not be drunk with tea. To prevent outsiders from discovering the truth, she secretly poured the tea into the flowerpot.
"Get up, this has nothing to do with you. Bring Consort Xin and Consort Ping here!" Empress Hesheli was originally the younger sister of the original Empress. After entering the palace, she did not receive Emperor Kangxi's favor, but out of respect for Yinzhi, she was made Consort Ping.
Qingyan shrank to one side; she didn't want to hear these palace secrets!
"Qingyan, sit in the chair and listen to me properly!" Kangxi shook his head when he noticed Qingyan trying to back down. They were still there and could protect the little guy.
They would have to leave sooner or later. Yin was busy with official duties and couldn't take care of the little one. In the end, she still needed to stand up.
"Yes!" Qingyan was reprimanded by Kangxi, so she had no choice but to sit obediently in the chair. Palace intrigue was fine as a play, but when she was really involved, her little tricks were not enough.
Yin chuckled to himself; the little guy had been dealt with.
"Yin, you did a bit too hastily." Summoning the Imperial Household Department for the beating will definitely alert the enemy, and they can do a lot of things in one night.
"Father, I intend to provoke them. Those servants can't be dealt with directly, so this is the only way!" The Imperial Household Department is a murky place, and even Kangxi finds it difficult to handle. Fortunately, Yinzhen's feint attack, catching them off guard, makes them more likely to relax their guard. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.
