The tent was quiet for a quarter of an hour. Qingyan broke free from Yin's grasp and ran to Fei Yanggu's side.
"Father, who are these men in black?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. "What's their modus operandi..."
"Alright, stop talking. Go and take a look." Fei Yanggu interrupted his daughter. How many of Kangxi's spies were inside and outside this tent? If Qingyan didn't say something right, it could bring unknown disasters to the family.
Qingyan ran to the top of the heads of the black-clad men lying in rows, and with her small hand removed the black veil covering the lower half of her face. When she saw the appearance of the guards, she couldn't help but gasp twice.
Oh my god!
Fei Yanggu also stood up. These people were all eliminated from the Imperial Guard. It seemed that someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for them.
Standing behind Qingyan, Yin clenched his fists. There must have been some involvement of the concubines in the harem in this matter, otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Father-in-law, let's leave first. This matter absolutely cannot be allowed to fall into chaos again!" Yin quickly led Qingyan away; at least, his tent was the safest place.
After all, it was closest to the imperial tent, so if there was any trouble, one could go directly to Emperor Kangxi.
Fei Yanggu watched the two little figures walk away and nodded in satisfaction.
Kangxi sent Tulichen over to give him a hint, partly hoping that he would take the opportunity to let Yin leave, or at least prevent others from harming Yin behind his back.
This person should be the eldest son of the Uya clan. It seems that the Uya clan's actions did not stop after the former Consort De was banished to the Cold Palace. After His Majesty investigated these bondservant families, he threw out all the people they had sent to the Imperial Guard.
When they arrived at the tent, Qingyan found it strange; Yin clearly didn't want her to know the truth.
"Tell the truth!" Qingyan understood that she had to get Yin to tell the truth as soon as possible.
Yin looked at her with a stern face.
Just now, she walked straight over and lifted her veil. If those people hadn't been knocked unconscious, her safety would definitely be compromised. Even though Tu Lichen had taken all the necessary precautions, he still felt uneasy.
"Little Darling, are you sure?" Yin regretted letting Qingyan get involved.
snort!
Qingyan snorted at the doctor, her little face scrunched up, her heart filled with endless resentment.
Yin had piqued her curiosity, but now, Queka was no longer paying attention to her.
"Fourth Brother, just tell me, okay?" Qingyan tugged at Yin's sleeve and shook it, hoping that Yin would tell her in advance.
Yin was in a bind. If his father, the Emperor, found out about something he shouldn't have said, he would definitely be scolded.
The pleading in Qingyan's watery eyes left Yinzhen with no choice but to accept it.
"Fourth Brother, just tell me, I really won't say anything!" Qingyan clasped her hands together, pleading with Yin.
In the end, Yin gave in and whispered in Qingyan's ear as he held her close.
"The black-clad man whose true form you saw was from the Uya clan, and the rest are all direct descendants of bondservant families." Yin spoke softly, but Qingyan was startled.
Uya clan?!
The first person that came to her mind was Consort De, who was probably the biggest obstacle for Yinzhi.
"Would someone from a family of bondservants dare to cause trouble behind the scenes?" Qingyan asked, puzzled.
If Kangxi hadn't dealt with the corrupt aristocratic families, how could they have had such great ability to send their eldest sons to the Imperial Guard selection process?
"It's good to have money. Besides, which of the concubines doesn't need servants to help them? These people must have cooperated with the ministers and ultimately used all their connections!" Yin said with emotion. These bondservant families are not good people at all; they basically all have connections.
Qingyan stared blankly at Yin, something that had probably happened quite often.
"Isn't that right? Aren't the imperial concubines always aloof and never talk to the servants?" Qingyan thought of the attitude of Consort Yi and others.
Yin scoffed. Those were all concubines with good backgrounds. Those concubines of lower status didn't have Kangxi's favor. If they didn't curry favor with some servants, their lives would definitely be even more difficult.
After all, the allowances they needed came from these servants. In order to avoid being cheated, lower-ranking concubines would definitely have to spend money or have a good family background to get them.
Upon hearing Yin's explanation, Qingyan couldn't help but tremble.
If she is disliked by Yin, those servants will definitely treat her differently based on her status. In the end, whether she can gain the confidence of Daiyu will depend entirely on Yin.
"Fourth, I'm scared. The Naxi people must have something up their sleeve!" Qingyan recalled that in the past few days, she always felt like someone was watching her when she went out, which made her feel uneasy.
"What's up?"
“These past few days, I’ve been watched as soon as I go out. I had Sulan and the others keep an eye on me from behind, but they didn’t find anyone special!” Qingyan didn’t really want to say this, but she couldn’t bear to give Yin Jia another job.
Now that Yin had recounted the actions of those servants, she decided to leave the matter to Yin to handle.
"Silly girl, why didn't you say so sooner?" Yin was afraid of this. To be honest, Kangxi had already reminded Yin that recently some people from bondservant families had infiltrated the military camp. He had been paying attention to them, but he did not expect that their target was Qingyan.
"Hehe, I was just afraid you'd think I was being dramatic. When we came here, how many of those Mongolian wives wanted to cause me trouble? Didn't I handle them all myself?" Qingyan smiled.
Originally, she didn't care at all, feeling that her nerves were being stretched too tight by the wives. Now, she felt that she should report everything to Yin from now on.
Her mind was simply not suited to dealing with those wives of princes; she had absolutely no experience in palace intrigue, and those people would probably find their own ways to deal with her.
"That's what those women noticed about you!" Yin tapped her forehead with his right hand, his mouth full of resentment.
He was thinking about how to report to his father, the Emperor, that these women did nothing but try to get benefits from the royal family.
More than a decade ago, the wives of the princesses all married into this place from the Qing Dynasty. Now that they have children and their own families, the mission that the Qing Dynasty had given them can be put aside.
Thinking of this, Yin felt extremely sad.
In his previous life, his sisters all married into the grasslands, but their lives were not good, and many of them died young.
Now that the Emperor has a new army, he has decided to stop allowing any princesses to marry. In this way, they will finally be able to stay in this desert without having to leave the capital, as the climate here is not suitable for the princesses to live in.
In addition, these leaders were all thinking about how to deal with the princesses. The noble ladies of Mongolia were not popular in the royal family and had no children. These princesses should not have children either.
Every time he thought of this, Yin felt an urge to wipe out all those people. (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.)
