For several days in a row, Qingyan woke up from nightmares. Yin did not say much to Qingyan about the embroidery, but simply took the most exquisite one and placed it on Xiaoguai's soft couch.
"Ah!" Qingyan woke up with a start. Yin opened his eyes and saw Xiaoguai trembling all over.
"Little darling, what's wrong?" Yin turned his head and glanced at the table screen. Ever since that thing came over, Little darling had been waking up in a fright. It seemed that there was really something wrong with that thing.
"Sulan, come in and take away the table screen. Move all the things that came from the pawnshop out and get rid of them!" Yin was very worried; these things would frighten her.
"Yes!" Su Lan quickly came in and asked Su Shu and the others to remove the table screen and other items. He took the Buddhist prayer beads that Master Yuan Yi had personally blessed from beside his pillow.
"Fourth Brother, I don't need to bring this!" Qingyan pouted. She really didn't need it!
"No!" Yin gripped Xiao Guai's wrist tightly, forcing her to keep the prayer beads on and resolutely forbidding her from taking them off again.
He turned his head and kissed her little face, urging her to sleep quickly. She hadn't slept well for the past few days, and there were already some shadows under her eyes, which annoyed Yin. Before the Shang Dynasty, he would remind Su Lan to let Xiao Guai sleep a little longer.
But one thing after another happened at the mansion, and Xiao Guai couldn't even sleep a little longer. She had to get up early to deal with government affairs. In the middle of the night, she was awakened again and again, which made her very annoyed.
"Good girl..." Yin rolled over and pressed down on Xiao Guai, lowering his head to kiss her little mouth. Her big eyes revealed exhaustion, and he felt very sorry for her.
"Fourth Brother, I can't sleep!" Qingyan stretched out her two small hands and wrapped them around the back of Yin's neck. She truly felt like she was about to collapse; she had never been so exhausted before.
"Um!"
Yin reached behind her neck with one hand, cradling her head towards him, deepening the kiss...
Just after the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Yin opened his eyes and looked at the little one in his arms. He was relieved to see that the baby hadn't woken up again. To avoid waking the little one, he put on his white undergarment and went to the outer hall.
"Master, everything is ready!" Su Peisheng reported to Yin in a low voice.
Last night before going to bed, Yin instructed Su Peisheng that starting tomorrow, he should take Qingyan with him to court, and that Xiaoguai should just wait in the carriage. He added that the mansion would not be quiet for some time.
"Don't wake the Fujin. Have Sulan and the others prepare some food." Yin goes to court early, so it's fine for him to have some food in the carriage. But Xiao Guai can't have that; once she's awake, she needs to have breakfast immediately.
She was a premature baby, so she had to take good care of her stomach. Imperial Physician Yuan spent a lot of effort to help Xiao Guai recover to her current condition.
"." Su Peisheng hung the purse on Shi Yin's belt. "Your Highness, Prince Zhi also mentioned that he will be taking his primary consort and the eldest princess to court soon."
These princes all brought their most cherished female relatives with them to court, which raises serious concerns about the safety of the capital.
A few days ago, Emperor Kangxi dismissed Fei Yanggu from his position as Commander of the Nine Gates, citing his advanced age. Yinqiao felt that there must be something going on, otherwise, his father would not have dismissed Fei Yanggu.
"Yes, send all the guards who serve you personally over!" The mansion doesn't have any special protection, and Yin doesn't remember the Naxi people coming over.
“!” Su Peisheng replied respectfully.
Yin glanced worriedly at the inner chamber; she had just woken up in the carriage and would probably be annoyed.
An hour later, Yin carried the sleeping Qingyan into the carriage. She was wrapped up like a silkworm, her little face hidden on his chest, with the cloak covering her face, and they sat directly in the carriage wrapped up.
The guards surrounded the carriage, which slowly drove out of the mansion. The spies who had been bribed in the outer courtyard watched the carriage leave and hurried to Qingyan's courtyard to see if she had gone with it.
Their respective owners were concerned about this issue, which made their mothers think more deeply.
Yin had already thought of this. Today, he left Sulan at the mansion and had Sushu go with him to serve Qingyan.
The moment Su Lan appeared, the people who had been peeking around shrank back. Some even made excuses to go out and tell their masters that they had been targeted as soon as they left.
Some elites from the Sticky Rod Office were dispatched. Behind each person leaving the manor, there was a secret agent, and their masters were also exposed one by one.
As it approached seven o'clock, Qingyan opened his eyes and saw that he was in a carriage again, his little face scrunched up.
Su Shu heard movement behind the screen and quickly went inside. Qing Yan was taken aback. Su Lan had been left at the mansion by Yin and had not followed.
"Master said that I can follow you for the time being." Su Shu did not mention the situation of the mansion, but Qing Yan understood that Yin must have taken some other measures.
"Help me get up." There were no windows on the inside of the screen; it was specially prepared by Yin for Qingyan.
After washing up, Qingyan walked around the screen to the front. On the small table was breakfast. Qingyan hadn't gotten up yet, so the breakfast was kept warm on a small stove, for fear that she would hurt her stomach if she ate cold breakfast.
"Your Majesty, the wife of Prince Zhi and the eldest princess have both arrived. However, only the concubine of Prince Yin San has come," Su Shu reported to Qing Yan, having already gathered the information.
Qingyan slightly curled the corners of her mouth, picked up a soup dumpling and ate it, um... it wasn't crab roe.
"Master, the master said you should use less crab roe soup dumplings." Su Shu noticed Qing Yan's bad expression and quickly explained from the side.
Su Shu was worried that her mistress would be angry. After all, Qing Yan looked forward to breakfast every day, when her favorite crab roe soup dumplings would be served.
Now, even this favorite thing is gone, but Qingyan isn't angry about it. The two, mistress and servant, don't really have a good understanding. Sulan has been by her side longer than Sushu, and she understands what's going on with just a glance from Qingyan.
"Sushu, your sister-in-law and Songkelierha have both arrived?" Qingyan was taken aback. Sure enough, things had gotten out of hand, and several princes who had established their own residences had brought their favorite female relatives to court.
"The Third Prince Consort didn't come?" Qingyan thought that Yinzhi was more mature in handling matters, and that Dong'e would definitely get the news. If that was the case, the inner court would probably be in chaos.
“Yes, I heard that the Third Prince’s wife is unaware that the Third Prince has been resting in this concubine’s courtyard all this time,” Su Shu quickly replied.
Qingyan pondered for a moment. Dong Eshi probably didn't realize that if outsiders stirred things up a little, she would definitely fall for it, and then the Third Prince's harem would become unstable.
"Are you sure she's a concubine?!" Qingyan needed to confirm this important matter, so she asked twice. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
