In the evening, Qingyan sat on the soft couch, her fair little hands flipping through the storybook. Sulan and Su Peisheng were busy, placing Qingyan's specially made barbecue on the coffee table, and plates of marinated meat were also laid out.
"Fourth Brother, we..." Before Qingyan could say anything more, Li Dequan's voice interrupted her.
"Fourth Master, Fourth Princess, His Majesty requests your presence as soon as possible!" Li Dequan's face showed a hint of anxiety, which startled Qingyan.
Li Dequan had served Emperor Kangxi for many years. If it weren't for something extraordinary, Li Dequan wouldn't have acted this way. It seems there really is a problem.
"Fourth Brother, let's hurry!" Qingyan didn't dare to delay and quickly got off the carriage with Yin, heading towards the imperial carriage.
As they approached the imperial carriage, they discovered that Yin and Lady Yingenjueluo were also there. The four of them exchanged glances and couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Once inside the imperial carriage, Kangxi was furious, smashing memorials everywhere. Yinzhi and Yinzhi also looked displeased.
"Greetings to Father Emperor!" The four paid their respects to Emperor Kangxi. Only then did Consort Tong emerge from the inner chamber. Qingyan noticed out of the corner of his eye that Consort Tong's eyes were red and swollen.
Qingyan was on tenterhooks, feeling that something unusual was about to happen.
"Let's get ready to kowtow." Kangxi sighed. Something had happened on the grasslands. Before they even reached Jiangnan, the grassland leaders had already spread the news.
Yin and Yin picked up the memorial that Kangxi had angrily thrown down, and their faces turned purple. It contained a detailed record of the group's movements. Moreover, this information had been sent to the capital by the Mongol princes.
Both of them turned green. They had been traveling almost the entire way, taking turns to rest at night, and hadn't been able to stay at an inn even once.
"Father, is this news accurate?" Yin's worst fears had come true; he was afraid of being intercepted on the way.
The Hesheri family probably doesn't have that much power. Even if they have sources of information, they don't have your influence to mobilize military spies.
"Father, I'll go myself." Yin didn't want Kangxi to be disappointed in his son.
From a young age, Yin was more favored by Emperor Kangxi than they were, which made them very annoyed with him.
"No need. Proceed according to our plan. There's no need to hide anymore." Kangxi hoped to reach Jiangnan as soon as possible, but things didn't go as planned; his plans were leaked.
Qingyan's face was tense. The report continued, saying that the leaders had taken a lot of food from the imperial kitchen, so the Empress Dowager and Consort Rong, who were left on the grassland, could have enough to eat, but they could no longer pursue excellence in their food.
"Xuan Ye, what about Consort Rong..." Consort Tong cried out in anguish because Tong Guowei's residence was surrounded by soldiers sent by the Hesheli clan.
Fortunately, seeing how Qingyan prepared food like a little hamster, Consort Tong had her family start preparing food in the past two years using the same method as Xiao Guai, thus preventing them from having to compromise on food like other concubines.
"Never mind. Lady Ma Jia betrayed us first. Yin, there's no need to go to the capital. Rather than you falling into that predicament, it's better to leave it at that." Kangxi was dejected. The child he had raised had actually tripped him up!
Yin lowered his head and held Qingyan's small hand, telling her not to say anything more. Kangxi's emotions were unstable, and the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
"Father, the capital will be in chaos!" The Hesheli family bribed many people to surround the residences of numerous ministers, preventing them from buying food.
Kangxi smiled. This was a profound test for them. He had already sent Tulichen to rescue those people.
"Brother, Tulichen should have already gone to the capital!" Yin took a sip of tea.
Yin remained calm. She had noticed that Tulichen had not set off from the grasslands with them. The only people accompanying and protecting Kangxi were the new army of Fei Yanggu and his two sons, and one-third of the Imperial Guards. The rest of the people must have gone to the capital.
Those people must have gone to rescue those people. Kangxi would certainly not give up on important officials, and he would certainly not let go of those who had not been seen or who had compromised and obeyed Suo'etu.
"What?!" Yin looked at Yin in surprise, unable to believe that what she said was true.
Qingyan also observed Kangxi's expression. He was very satisfied with Yin's observational skills, and his expression was also good.
"The fourth prince has good observation skills. Eldest prince, you should learn more from him. Things won't get out of control over there." Kangxi smiled and remained silent.
Consort Tong's mood improved considerably, as long as there were no problems with the Tongjia clan's residence.
The atmosphere inside the imperial carriage finally eased. Consort Tong glared at Kangxi with her eyes full of anger, but her charming appearance made Kangxi laugh.
"I won't tell you, but there are still Hesheli's spies in the Imperial Guards. Last night, Feiyanggu finally finalized the list." Kangxi had brought them here urgently for their safety.
Qingyan pouted, and her father and the others all knew it, but none of them said it to her.
How annoying!
They did this because they wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
"Songkelirha, come here. Lanya, take good care of her." Kangxi had already instructed Li Dequan to bring his little granddaughter along. "If the tail isn't properly cleared, it might put you in danger!"
Kangxi sent out all the people he had deliberately chosen, leaving the servants to sit on the carriage shafts in their original order.
"Yes, Father Emperor!" Yin and Yin stood up, a bitter look on their faces. In the end, they still needed their father to get through this safely.
The Imperial Guards had been following them for so long, and none of them had noticed a traitor.
"Grandfather!" Songkrilha walked in and first swayed as he bowed to Kangxi.
"Come here, Yierha!" Kangxi looked at little Songkri Yierha, stepped down from the dragon throne, picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"Father, this...isn't this a bad idea!" Yin felt very frightened. Songkri Yierha had hardly seen Kangxi since she was a child, and he was worried that his daughter might do something bad.
"Relax!" Kangxi laughed. Yintai was tense. "Yierha, tell Grandfather what we're having for dinner."
In fact, Emperor Kangxi often had Consort Hui take Yierha to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When Yinzhi and Lady Yingenjueluo were busy, they would entrust her to Consort Hui for upbringing.
"Mafa, let's eat roasted vegetables, and I also want hot pot!" Yierha often dined with Kangxi and wasn't afraid at all.
Yin broke out in a cold sweat. This...
Pfft!
Qingyan laughed. It turned out that Yierha was also a foodie, but his appetite was the same as hers.
"Fourth Prince's wife, you'll have to prepare these two. Don't worry about the heat; it's quite cool in my imperial carriage!" Kangxi laughed heartily, his mood finally brightening. (To be continued.
