Early in the morning, Yin woke Qingyan up, and the two went straight back to the palace.
When she entered Chenggan Palace, she found that Consort Rong and the Third Prince's wife had arrived earlier than her, which puzzled Qingyan.
Every day, Consort Rong and others would not come to pay their respects so early. After she bowed to Consort Tong, she sat obediently to the side.
The Third Princess Consort across from her had red and swollen eyes and looked haggard.
Qingyan secretly complained that they would go to such lengths to plead for leniency.
“Consort Rong, you have been in the palace longer than I have. You should understand His Majesty’s attitude towards the bondservant families.” Consort Tong directly refused.
Dong Eshi spoke rather vaguely, but she understood the implied meaning: the Crown Princess had given Xiao Guai the medicine from the cook Dong Eshi, saying that it was unnecessary and could be exchanged for silver. What the truth was, no one except the parties involved could know.
"Third Sister-in-law, Ma Zhong has been rescued by the Master." Qingyan took a sip of tea and said directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Eshi's face turned ugly. Ma Zhong's wife was the wet nurse of the Third Prince's wife. Ever since the wet nurse had an accident, the Third Prince's wife had not had a single good day. Some of Dong Eshi's wife's actions had also been exposed, and Dong Eshi's face had not been pleasant since.
"What?!" the Third Princess Consort exclaimed in surprise.
Consort Tong and Consort Rong both expressed concern about the Third Prince's outburst, which made Qingyan laugh.
"Fourth sister-in-law, are you serious?" The Third Princess Consort had repeatedly warned that Ma Zhong must not leave the mansion, but Mother Mother did not heed her advice and let Ma Zhong leave directly.
Outside, if someone were to stir up trouble, Ma Zhong would be even less loyal. This time, he even fell into Yin's hands, making the Third Princess Consort feel uneasy.
"Little darling, are you feeling better?" Consort Tong asked Little darling.
Yin said that Xiao Guai was frightened by the punishment the day before, and Kangxi said that it would be good to let her go home for one night.
"Mother, I feel much better." Qingyan sidled up to Consort Tong and whispered.
The Third Princess Consort was lost in her own thoughts, trying to extricate herself from the situation, but later realized that the situation was very bad.
"Consort Rong, you and the third prince's wife may return first." Consort Tong directly dismissed them. "Little darling, you're not paying your respects today!"
Early in the morning, Emperor Kangxi specially sent Li Dequan to the inner palace to convey an imperial edict that he did not need to go to Chenggan Palace to pay his respects. Unexpectedly, Consort Rong and Lady Dong'e came to disturb him.
Forehead.....
Qingyan was stunned. Why not ask An Yin to send her over to do knitting?
"Mother, if you want to blame Master, he left me at the entrance of Chenggan Palace before going to court!" Qingyan had no choice but to find an excuse for himself, and Yin became the culprit.
Consort Tong nodded with a smile, and Yin was remembered by Xiao Guai.
"Little Darling, hurry back to the Prince's residence. Don't wander around the palace these next two days." Consort Tong smiled and reassured Qingyan. Fortunately, Yinzhi and Little Darling hadn't returned to the palace yesterday; something had happened in the Imperial Garden. "When you go back, don't go into the Imperial Garden!"
Qingyan felt a lot of curiosity, but she still agreed.
After leaving Chenggan Palace, she always wanted to visit the Imperial Garden, but remembering Consort Tong's gloomy face, she gave up the idea.
Around noon, Yin returned to Shuang and saw Xiao Guai sitting obediently in the chair, and his heart finally settled down.
"Fourth Prince, the Imperial Garden has been sealed off!" Qingyan looked at Yin.
"Little darling, don't be greedy and run over there, okay?" Yin was glad he hadn't taken Little darling back to the palace. Not only was the First Consort terrified, but even Yin Zhi didn't attend court.
A scream was heard in the Imperial Garden at midnight. Because the Prince's Residence was very close to the Imperial Garden, the sound reached the Prince's Residence, and Yin's eldest daughter was so frightened that she summoned the imperial physician.
ha!
Qingyan was instantly dumbfounded; a scream had caused such a huge consequence.
"The Third Prince's burden is so small!" Qingyan mocked. "Just a few days ago, Consort Dong'e was mocking me for having a small burden. Today, there's someone with an even smaller burden!"
Qingyan said that the couple next door were always sullen.
He tapped her forehead. Several days had passed, but Xiao Guai still remembered Dong E Shi's mockery.
During the morning court session, Dong E, at the age of seventy, was impeached by four censors. Yin listened to the censors listing the charges against him, most of which were alleged by Dong E's third wife.
"It's not that they're timid; the voices are extremely terrifying. Moreover, no bodies have been found!" People from the Criminal Investigation Department and the Ministry of Justice have intervened. Emperor Kangxi has given a strict order that the truth must be thoroughly investigated.
Not found...
Qingyan's face fell; could she scream in agony today?
"Sisi, let's go inside to sleep, don't stay outside." Qingyan wrinkled her little face and looked at him pitifully.
She just wanted to avoid hearing it; she wasn't too interested in whether it was a scream or not.
"Okay!" Yin agreed. Xiao Guai had finally regained her composure and shouldn't be frightened by these indifferent voices.
As midnight approached, Qingyan and Yin hid on the large bed in the room. She turned on the television on the wall opposite the bed, watching everything that was happening in the Imperial Garden.
"Little darling, why are you looking at this?" Yin asked, puzzled. Wasn't the little guy scared? "Let Father Emperor investigate these matters. You are not allowed to interfere." Yin turned off the TV and picked up a memorial from the side to look at it. These were messages from the Imperial Guard, some of which were quite amusing.
"Yay!" Qingyan was furious. She was just about to find something fun to do when Yin locked her up.
"It's time to sleep, if you scare yourself you won't be able to sleep!" Yin shook his head, the little guy was really a headache.
Qingyan obediently lay down and fell asleep to his hypnotic story.
At dawn, after the two came out, they had the servants help them wash and dress. They found that Su Lan's condition was really bad, with purplish marks under her eyes, which was heartbreaking.
"Sulan, aren't you asleep?" Qingyan asked softly.
Su Lan quickly shook her head. The screams in the middle of the night had frightened her so much that she dared not sleep. She could only sit in the hall, while Qing Yan slept soundly and did not call her in.
"Your Majesty, we didn't hear that shout. His Majesty sent people to surround the area. They probably discovered something!" Su Lan whispered to Qing Yan.
Cough cough...
Yin coughed twice behind her back, and Su Lan respectfully tied Qing Yan's hair into a bun.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has instructed you to take someone from nearby to the Cining Palace after your breakfast!" Su Peisheng quickly informed Li Dequan's apprentice upon hearing the news.
Yin nodded and led the freshly dressed Qingyan to have breakfast together.
"Fourth Prince, did Father Emperor send us over because he found the murderer?" Qingyan asked gossipingly while eating a crab roe soup dumpling.
"Do not speak while eating or sleeping!" Yin uttered six words.
Holy crap!
Qingyan was feeling quite stifled, but she still quietly ate her breakfast. Now, she had to be more obedient. She would ask Sisi to take her out again soon.
After breakfast, Yin took a warm handkerchief and wiped her little hands.
"I'll take you home in a few days!" Yin promised. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
