After the lockdown order was lifted, Yin, Fei Yanggu, and Yin Yi stood in front of the door, watching Yin and Qingyan carry Hafeng'a out together.
Hafenga had survived smallpox, and his once round and chubby face had become thin and oval. Hafenga smiled and gazed at everyone, and Feiyangu took it directly.
"Hafeng'a has lost weight!" Fei Yanggu looked closely. "Great, our Hafeng'a doesn't have any acne scars!"
Kangxi still had two or three pockmarks on his face, marks left from smallpox.
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, you've worked hard!" Yin looked at Yin and Qingyan with satisfaction. "You two have also worked hard."
Yin smiled and said, "It's good that Hafeng is fully recovered."
In the main courtyard's flower hall, Lady Jue Luo directed the maids to prepare lunch. She let Lady Yin Gen Jue Luo sit in the main seat first, and when she tried to help, Lady Jue Luo refused.
She was seven months pregnant. Jue Luo Shi wished she could just sit still in one place. Qing Yan's child was harmed and was born prematurely at eight months.
"I feel uncomfortable with you doing this!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi felt a little awkward seeing that Jue Luo Shi wouldn't let her do anything.
"Oh dear, shouldn't the fact that my little one was born prematurely serve as a warning to you?" Jue Luo said helplessly. "If the pregnancy had been earlier, I wouldn't have been so vigilant."
“Madam, please refer to yourself as ‘your subject’ in front of me. The terms ‘your subject’ and ‘your wife’ are only for outsiders to hear,” said Lady Yin Genjue Luo directly.
"Good! Today is a joyous day. It's wonderful that Hafeng is able to recover!" Jue Luo was in a good mood. In the military camp, there had been a lot of noise and commotion these past few days. People would often be taken away for continuous interrogation, and a lot of clues were found. Officials from the navy to the capital were all involved.
Yin Genjue Luo Shi stared intently outside, hoping to see Qing Yan and his party as soon as possible.
After a cup of tea, Qingyan, dressed in a bright red palace gown adorned with five-colored phoenixes, and wearing a six-phoenix gold hairpin headdress—the kind only a prince's wife could wear—and three pearl earrings on each side, helped Sulan walk step by step toward the main hall.
Holding Hafeng'a's swaddling clothes, Yin walked at the front with Yin and Yinyi.
“Mother-in-law, we are almost there!” Yin said with a smile as he looked at Jue Luo standing outside the door and walked up the steps.
"Fourth Master, let's put him over the brazier first." Jue Luo looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes, Hafeng'a with his eyes open, curiously looking around.
"Get rid of the bad luck!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi also stood up and said directly.
Yin didn't say much and did as Jue Luo said. He just wanted to give the child and Qingyan the best.
Upon entering the hall, a maidservant from the Yin Genjue Luo clan took a pomelo leaf and sprinkled some pomelo juice on Yin and Qingyan.
Yin wrapped Hafeng'a in his swaddling clothes to prevent the pomelo juice from splashing onto him.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble!" Qingyan said gratefully.
"Little darling, I'm feeling heavy, so I couldn't go to greet you. Lady Ulanara also told me to sit here and not to move." Yin Genjue Luo Shi felt a little embarrassed by Qing Yan's words. She hadn't done anything; it was mostly Jue Luo Shi who did it. Now, she was thanking her instead.
Qingyan quickly waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, you should take better care of yourself. Hafeng's premature birth is a fact right in front of us."
After speaking, everyone took their seats. The wet nurse and Hafeng went to the side hall to rest, giving Yin and Qingyan a chance to learn more about the matter.
"Fourth brother, we've taken quite a few people away from the naval port recently, and the interrogation results are rather bad!" Yin's face showed a hint of helplessness.
Yin briefly explained the situation. Some of the people arrested were specifically sent to keep an eye on Qingyan's actions. The person who caused Qingyan's premature birth was not the culprit, but rather a minor figure.
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Yin felt that Yin had used too much foreshadowing; this mastermind was probably...
"The Hesheli clan and the Gioro clan!" Yin did not hide anything. The Gioro clan did not say much. The Gioro clan had already divided its family, and the true direct line went to the border.
"Are the two sides involved?" Yin asked.
Why did Heseri hurt Hafon? He was just an unborn child.
“Yiken’e is too conspicuous. If something happens to the child, Qingyan might get hurt. Yiken’e is young. If she is not properly taught and grows up wrong, Father Emperor probably won’t care.” Yin sneered.
Even after leaving the court, Suo Xiang was still able to control the royal family, which Kangxi considered a blatant provocation.
"Brother, you're so shrewd, you really are a prime minister. Sister-in-law, you need to take care of your health. Brother, don't train for a while, let the tenth brother take over, and I'll assist you from the side!" Yin thought for a moment and decided it would be better for him to stay by Yin Genjue Luo's side.
"Eldest brother, fourth brother is absolutely right. The safety of eldest sister-in-law and nephew is the most important thing!" Yinzhi also felt that what Yin said was absolutely right.
"You two," Yin said helplessly, "I've planted quite a few people around your sister-in-law, so nothing will happen!"
"Back then, Fourth Brother also arranged quite a few people, but Fourth Sister-in-law still got into trouble, didn't she?" I have also been observing carefully. The military ports in Guangdong and Guangxi are managed very well by Yin and Yin, which is a stark contrast to the situation in Qianglei back then.
"Alright, I'll stay with them. Now that Fourth Brother and his wife are out, we can all be together again," Yin said with emotion.
"Brother, after lunch, you should accompany your sister-in-law back to rest. I'll personally go to the interrogation tent." There were some things Yin needed to understand; he couldn't let his son suffer without knowing the details.
