The tent was quiet. Yin held the little one in his arms, feeling warm inside.
When he encounters danger, the thought of his beloved little one suffering can unleash his boundless potential.
"Little darling, are you scared?" Yin asked softly.
Something was definitely not peaceful inside the camp. Both Eshuo and Saito looked unwell. Could it be that Namu arrived late?
Qingyan nodded her little head. She was truly afraid. The Mongols were speaking so recklessly to their grandmother, and she was really afraid that Kangxi would not be able to return and that what they said would become reality.
Now, nestled in his arms, she felt that warmth, and she found complete peace.
Peace of mind!
"From now on, I won't let you face such dangers by yourself again." Yin patted Xiao Guai's back.
Emperor Kangxi also regarded this matter as a test. Yinzhi and his brother were unwilling, but they had no choice but to compromise.
"Is Father safe too?" When Fei Yanggu returned from the autumn harvest with Kangxi, he was not among the army.
In front of Emperor Kangxi, Qingyan dared not ask about Yin Feiyanggu's safety.
Now that they are alone together, she wants to know if her father is alright.
"Don't worry, Father-in-law is safe!" Fei Yanggu, as expected of a veteran, made a clever arrangement after discovering the wolf pack, allowing everyone to escape danger.
The Crown Prince harbored resentment towards Fei Yanggu. For Fei Yanggu, who had no limits in spoiling his daughter, the moment the Crown Prince expressed his gratitude to the Mongol leaders and sent the banquet to Mongolia, the Crown Prince became an enemy of the Ulanara clan's direct line.
During the last imperial concubine selection, the Crown Prince specifically asked Emperor Kangxi to appoint a high-ranking Ulanara woman as his secondary consort, but he did not receive Fei Yanggu's support.
Emperor Kangxi was eager to watch a play, and Fei Yanggu's loyalty was unparalleled.
"Hmph, the Crown Prince really did make his move!" Qingyan relayed what Mu Ke and the others had said, and also mentioned that Nao Yan hadn't been there the whole time, probably because he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Naoyan!
Yin gave a cold snort, listening to the little girl in his arms complaining sweetly.
This man is indeed a cunning old fox, capable of vying with the Emperor for the position of Consort Tong.
More than a decade ago, under the suppression of the Empress Dowager, Naoyan almost succeeded. More than a decade later, after undergoing various trials, if this man were to use the same methods to force Kangxi again, he would probably be dealt with directly.
"Fourth Prince, really?" Qingyan tried hard to recall. The Crown Prince should have been deposed and reinstated twice, and it was not yet time for him to be deposed.
Yin nodded. The wolf pack that Kangxi encountered did not look like wild wolves. They should be tamed wolves. As long as someone blew a whistle, these wolves would pounce on them.
"Little darling, when you go to the grasslands in the future, you must bring Little White with you!" They brought the snow mastiff with them when they came out.
In recent years, Xiao Bai has grown up and become a fully grown snow mastiff. Apart from its master Qing Yan, even Yin treats it with indifference.
"Why?" Qingyan felt that she didn't need anyone to protect her. She had her own space, so why would she need it?
The strong Mongolian men kept a certain distance from the concubines and women of the palace, fearing they might cause trouble for their tribe.
"Today, we encountered a pack of wolves!" Yin didn't want to frighten Qingyan, but he was aware of the danger wolves posed.
A pack of wolves?!
Qingyan's face turned pale instantly. How could a pack of wolves suddenly appear in Qiu Mi's territory?
"Si Si, didn't you say that Qiu Mi's venue has a dedicated person in charge of safety?" Qing Yan asked, puzzled.
Yin nodded. Fortunately, Kangxi didn't want Fei Yanggu to be overworked, so he directly assigned the Crown Prince's subordinates to handle the autumn festival, thus avoiding this mess.
"Who did this?!" Qingyan wanted to know who had brought the wolves.
Yin shook his head, not yet knowing who had sent them.
"Wait, Fourth Prince, I remember you should have some wolf-repelling powder on you." Qingyan recalled that the wolf-repelling powder came from her spatial dimension and should not put Yin in danger.
"I didn't bring it!" Yin whispered in Qingyan's ear. "I'm so glad I didn't bring that purse, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
Yin felt a little scared. If he had brought the purse, all the wolves would not have attacked him, which would have aroused Kangxi's suspicion.
She was slightly taken aback; he was right.
"I was overthinking it!" Qingyan pouted. "I will give this purse to Father Emperor and the others when we pay tribute this year."
Qingyan decided to take care of everyone, so that even if Yin wore the wolf-repelling powder, no one would say anything to him.
Pfft!
Yin smiled; Qingyan had finally put him first.
"Don't you miss the two kids?" The two little ones don't get that treatment.
“They also have purses on them, but they’re for protection against poison.” Qingyan poured cold water on the situation, and Yin glared angrily at the little girl.
He leaned down and kissed her little lips, her face turning slightly red.
"Poison prevention?!" Yin froze upon hearing these two words.
Has his dragon-phoenix leap always been a dangerous affair?
"Yes, you know that our mansion has been in turmoil ever since the birth of the twins. How much of this was done by your brothers?" Qingyan didn't point to the one in the Eastern Palace, but both of them knew the truth.
Kangxi would find the Third Prince to take the blame, which would cause Qingyan and Dong E to become enemies, and the biggest beneficiary would be Yinzhi.
"Shut up!" Yin covered Qingyan's small mouth. How could she say such a thing?
"Little darling, some things are better kept in your heart and should never be said!" The princes in the palace all envied the Crown Prince for receiving his father's love, but only Yin understood how many impurities were mixed in with that love.
He was always protected by Consort Tong, and Emperor Kangxi's fatherly love for him was much purer.
"Sisi, when can we leave this hellhole?" Qingyan had a feeling that Qiu Mi would definitely not be able to stay calm this time.
Now they're all caught up in this fight, and there's probably more to come.
"At least one or two months from now, you should know that all the Mongolian princes will be replaced. At that time, no matter who proposes to leave, Father Emperor will take notice." Yin didn't want his wife and children to be threatened; the current situation was really not good.
Qingyan pursed her lips and leaned against him.
A fierce battle made Qingyan realize that this was the Qing Dynasty, not the past.
Within the circles of power, these leaders all aspire to rise through the ranks, and the conditions offered by the Crown Prince are so tempting that they are truly drawn into the trap.
She always remembered Mu Ke's words: these Mongolian brutes were the most pragmatic. Knowing that Kangxi might not be able to return, they showed less respect to Consort Tong and even made sarcastic remarks in front of him.
"Sisi, I don't like it here!" Qingyan felt there was a gloomy feeling here.
On the grassland, the sun shone brightly, but her heart was shrouded in gloom. (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.)
