In the afternoon, Fei Yanggu sat in Yin's tent, looking at his adorable little daughter with a beaming smile. After returning from the border, he had heard about the emperor's arrival and the actions of the grassland leaders. Those wives had made things difficult for the little girl quite a bit. Fortunately, Yin had been keeping an eye on Dong E Shi, otherwise Qing Yan would have faced even more trouble.
"Little darling, things won't be very peaceful in the camp lately. You're not allowed to go out anymore, understand?" Fei Yanggu whispered to Qingyan, telling her not to go out in danger.
Qingyan agreed cleanly, and after massaging for half an hour, Fei Yanggu's shoulders were no longer as stiff as when he first arrived.
"Father, don't just talk about me. Look at your own health; you should also take better care of yourself." Qingyan didn't want Fei Yanggu to have any health problems. After all, she needed Fei Yanggu's help to establish herself in the royal family.
Saito and Eshuo's status could not compare with Feiyanggu's, which is why Qingyan hoped that Feiyanggu could live longer.
Historically, the death of Empress Xiaojingxian's legitimate son was largely due to the passing of Fei Yanggu. In the end, Emperor Yongzheng relied on the Nian family, who held military power. If Fei Yanggu were still alive, he probably wouldn't have been so biased.
"Okay, Father understands!" Fei Yanggu drank the tea that Qingyan brewed with spiritual spring water and felt comfortable all over. Since Xiao Guai left, the tea had never tasted as good as the one brewed by Qingyan.
"I've given the tea cake to A-Dun, he'll brew it for you. When are Ah-Hun and the others leaving?" Qing-Yan wanted the small kitchen to prepare some food for Fei Yanggu and his two sons.
The border regions still needed to be guarded until the emperor left, and the leaders of the grasslands were making frequent small moves, which greatly annoyed Kangxi.
"It won't happen for a while. Everything has been arranged over there. Little darling, don't get too close to the Empress Dowager!" None of the Borjigit women are good. Even the Grand Empress Dowager has directly suppressed the Aisin Gioro clan for the sake of her own family. Those princesses who have lived on the grasslands for decades have long forgotten the mission on their shoulders.
When Fei Yanggu heard that Qi Buchen wanted to frame Qingyan, his face turned ashen. Yue Le was still alive!
"ah?!"
“Qi Buchen is the legitimate daughter of Yue Le’s younger brother, so she has a relatively high status.” Fei Yanggu sighed as he looked at Xiao Guai’s bewildered expression.
Emperor Kangxi specifically summoned him back, hoping he could subtly inform Xiao Guai about the identities of the Fujin (consorts). Neither Kangxi nor Consort Tong could easily say so, therefore, this important task was entrusted to Fei Yanggu.
Furthermore, seeing that Xiao Guai seemed to have been won over by the Empress Dowager, Kangxi became even more uneasy.
Does it concern me?
"You silly girl, His Majesty is not at ease. Don't forget, your father holds military power!" Fei Yanggu doted on his daughter, and the person Xiao Guai supported was someone Kangxi was interested in.
"My relationship with the Empress Dowager isn't good. Sending her some snacks was just a way of showing my filial piety." Qingyan sighed. Kangxi really did think more than most people.
Fei Yanggu breathed a sigh of relief. None of the Eight Banners officials liked the women of the Borjigit clan. The Empress Dowager appeared weak, but in reality, she was probably no pushover.
“Little darling, you can’t judge a book by its cover.” Fei Yanggu still remembered the time he spent reading with Emperor Kangxi.
Not only was Empress Xiaojingxian somewhat domineering, but this Mongolian empress was also no good. She poisoned the emperor's food. If the late emperor hadn't been controlled by Empress Xiaojingxian and hadn't looked after the third prince, Xuan Ye, things certainly wouldn't be like this now.
At that time, Kangxi was still young and thought he had simply not noticed his fever.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Father, this is no joke!" Qingyan never expected that the Empress Dowager would treat Kangxi so miserably in order to gain favor.
Fei Yanggu shook his head; the little guy still didn't believe it.
"Of course not. Haven't you noticed that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager don't have a very good relationship? They only show extra respect on the surface." Fei Yanggu used the power of the Ulanara clan to protect the imperial physician who had tampered with the Empress Dowager's medicine. In addition, this physician had also altered the Empress Dowager's medicine, causing her to die young.
Even though the Empress Dowager had been suppressing the imperial physician and had sent Khorchin forces to hunt him down when he left the capital, Fei Yanggu had made arrangements well in advance.
"Oh My God!"
"Fourth Uncle, really?" When Yin entered the tent, he saw Su Lan and A Dun standing guard at the door. He couldn't help but smile. Fei Yanggu was seizing the slightest opportunity to meet Qing Yan.
"Yes!" Fei Yanggu nodded without hesitation.
At this moment, Yin's expression changed several times. No wonder, Uya wanted to eliminate Honghui. She was afraid of the influence of the Ulanara clan in Xiaoguai's hands. She could even find out the Empress Dowager's secrets.
“Yin, this investigation was arranged by His Majesty. Otherwise, this power should never have been touched!” Fei Yanggu looked at Yin. The two children had grown up. Fei Yanggu had discussed with Kangxi that they should be gradually exposed to the core affairs of the Ulanara clan, which would also be a chance for them to learn.
"Su Peisheng, go check the surroundings. If there's anyone there, arrest them immediately!" Yin quickly ordered.
Fei Yanggu made no attempt to conceal anything, which likely indicated that he had received Kangxi's approval. Kangxi was also aware of Yinzhi's influence over the Imperial Guard, and he greatly admired Yinzhi's approach. It was far better than Yinzhi cultivating relationships with court officials.
"Little Si, you did a good job. You were able to protect your wife with your own abilities, which is better than the one next door!" Fei Yanggu laughed heartily. "Remember, no matter what, never try to bribe your foreign officials. The Ulanara clan is your in-laws and will always stand by your side."
Fei Yanggu's promise put Yin at ease, but at the same time, he felt guilty. In his previous life, he hadn't seen things clearly, which caused Qingyan to suffer.
"Fourth Uncle, I understand. Wasn't Dong Eshi dismissed?" Yin was furious about Dong Eshi's fault-finding.
At that time, Yin was not by Qingyan's side, and E'shuo accompanied the little guy. He was grateful, but who would have thought that Dong'e would use this matter to ruin Qingyan's reputation.
"Hmph! Ah Hun accompanied me for a reason. As for her, there are guards standing all over the tent. If we investigate, her reputation will be ruined even more!" Qingyan couldn't suppress her fiery temper when she thought of the Third Princess Consort. She went around from behind Fei Yanggu to the front and waved her little paws in front of her father-in-law and son-in-law, angrily denouncing him.
Yin was speechless. Couldn't this girl be a little more reliable?
In public, he behaves extremely dignifiedly, but in private, when something happens, he's like a cat with its fur standing on end, constantly waving his claws.
"Alright, little darling, those people are worth your trouble. Both wolf pack attacks on the camp were related to the Third Prince. Do you think His Majesty can tolerate it?" Fei Yanggu comforted his daughter. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
