Bang!
At night, just as Qingyan fell asleep, a signal flare appeared in the night sky. Yin immediately rolled out of bed and discovered that the signal flare was bright yellow, which should be the Emperor's Dragon Guard.
"broken!"
Yin personally changed Qingyan into her outdoor clothes, wrapped her tightly in a cloak, and walked out. She was exhausted from the past few days and was sleeping soundly.
"Master, the Dragon Guards are here." Erlu rushed in after receiving the Dragon Guards' order.
Yin coldly looked outside. Not far from the courtyard, several dark figures were floating. These people were Kangxi's Dragon Guards.
After Lin Mama was sent back, Kangxi deliberately threw her into the secret camp. Fei Yanggu and his two sons would not let her off easily. Soon, the things that Tong Mansion had made her do were revealed through interrogation.
“Four…” Qingyan opened her eyes when she heard the chaotic sounds around her.
She realized she wasn't inside the palace, but outside, and she felt quite uneasy.
"Why are you awake?" Yin heard the delicate figure in his arms calling him. Su Peisheng quickly moved two chairs over and placed them on the stone steps. She tightened her shawl, helped her sit down, and then turned to walk to the chair next to her.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the elusive figure before her, wondering if it was the Dragon Guard personally led by Emperor Kangxi.
"It was the Dragon Guards sent by Father Emperor!" Yin had to admit that the duties of the Sticky Rod Office and the Dragon Guards who had been trained in the midst of gunfire were different.
Qingyan opened her mouth slightly as she listened to the leader report on the situation outside.
The riverbank 50 kilometers away is in danger of collapsing, and many people have quietly moved to this side.
"Little Darling, we'll probably have to separate for a few days!" Yin didn't want to back down. The people here hadn't been notified by the county magistrate to retreat yet, so they probably wouldn't go back while the other group left.
"No, Sisi, I want to stay here with you!" Qingyan pouted, her face full of reluctance.
He sighed. These refugees had broken into the mansion; Xiao Guai's reputation would be damaged.
"No!" Yin was very firm about the matter of endangering Qingyan. "In a little while, I will have someone send you to Mother's place."
"The road might not be safe either. What if we run into refugees? Wouldn't I be in even more danger?" She tugged at his sleeve with her small hand, her large, watery eyes brimming with tears. He didn't mind using such methods to make her give in, as long as she could stay.
Yin sighed. Xiao Guai rarely cried in front of outsiders. Seeing Xiao Guai's appearance, he had no choice but to give in.
"Fine, you can stay by my side then," Yin said, giving in.
Long Wei brought 300 new soldiers, and E Shuo followed them on their journey. They received news that the dike here had breached, which greatly angered Fei Yanggu, who expressed his dissatisfaction with Yin's decision to move to the county town at this moment.
"Ah Hun!" Qingyan's eyes lit up when she saw E Shuo.
She completely forgot about Yin and rushed into E'shuo's arms.
"Little darling!" Despite Yin's strange gaze, E Shuo hugged her tightly.
Since Xiao Guai got married, the two brothers no longer enjoyed this privilege. Of the three grown men in the family, only Fei Yanggu could nag and wait in Qing Yan's soft embrace.
"Cough cough..."
Yin's cough came from behind, and Qingyan was turned 180 degrees and pulled directly into his arms.
“Fourth…” Qingyan raised her head and stared at him. Sure enough, he was radiating a cold aura.
Yin kissed her forehead to calm the little one down.
"Alright, this is out in public. Aren't you just making Qingyan look bad?" E'shuo looked coldly at the people around her. The servants around Yin had not been properly investigated and could very well have an impact on her.
Yin did not let go, his eyes looking at E Shuo with a defiant gaze.
"Get to the point!"
E'shuo recounted the questions that Lin Mama had given him, revealing that the Tong family's ultimate goal was still Yin.
The Tong family has been allied with the Aisin Gioro family through marriage for two generations, and Yin is their target for the third generation.
"Because I was raised by my mother?!" The Tong family did not want to miss the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the royal family. A few years later, Tong Guogang's eldest granddaughter was the best candidate.
With Granny Lin in control of Qingyan, and the Tong family also having an aunt, Qingyan will likely be kept under control as well.
"Yes!" E Shuo disapproved of the Tong family's actions, but Tong Guogang's lineage consisted of military officers, so he didn't have many thoughts on the matter.
Tong Guowei had planned everything, but he didn't tell Tong Guogang.
"Da Guo Luoma will probably be furious!" Yin was eager to see a good show. Tong Guogang was a reckless man. If it weren't for Kangxi's restraint, he would probably have separated from Tong Guowei immediately.
E'shuo smiled, Yin really understood Tong Guogang's temperament. Longkodo was the fuse that caused the split in the Tongjia clan.
"Ah Hun, you two stop talking in riddles!" Qingyan was completely confused, and was most concerned about the disaster relief funds and supplies here.
Yin smiled, leaned close to Qingyan's ear, and told her about Tong Guowei's thoughts.
"Really!" Qingyan slammed her right hand on the armrest, her palm instantly turning red.
"After Lin Mama came back, I always felt something was very strange!" Qingyan was particularly sensitive to women's affairs. Lin Mama was planning to control her so as to prepare a way out for the female relatives sent by the Tong family.
Yin pursed his lips. Not only had Granny Lin acted as a spy for the Tong family, but she had also inadvertently passed on information to the Hesheli family.
After Kangxi lost patience with the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince felt his importance more and more. He not only had Suo'etu find his own eldest daughter to train, but also planned to send her to his residence as a concubine in the next imperial concubine selection.
No wonder Xiao Guai is always sulking. Sometimes, when she sees the women of the Cao family fawning over him, she will pout her little lips.
"How is the situation outside?" Even when Qingyan was jealous, she would still consider the situation outside.
"It's not good. More and more disaster victims are gathering here. In the nearby county, some people are saying that the owner of this house has hidden a lot of grain. In a crisis, he might be harassed by the disaster victims." E Shuo had already heard the confirmed information and only caught one person who was stirring up trouble.
So far, Seto has not obtained any useful information from this man. Judging from his appearance, this man must be a trusted assassin from a powerful family...
What?!
Qingyan realized that she was in a dangerous situation. The disaster victims had surrounded the house, and if they broke in, she would have to atone with her death. Even if the disaster victims did not see her, even for the sake of her family's interests and reputation, she would definitely die.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin frowned, expressing his deep disgust for the person who had set the trap.
"Could they have already taken action?" Yin Tai knew those people's methods. In order to get Qing Yan to give up her position, they would probably do these unethical things.
Mother!
Yin cursed inwardly, "After all, that's Consort Tong's family. If they become enemies with Qingyan's side, Consort Tong will be in the most difficult position!"
"Fourth Prince, don't tell Mother yet. I haven't figured out what to do!" Qingyan didn't care about these things. Kangxi and Consort Tong had finally gotten into a playful mood, so it was best not to ruin it. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.
