After having afternoon tea, the two returned to their tent. As soon as they entered, they saw Fei Yanggu sitting in the flower hall, waiting for them to return.
As soon as Qingyan entered the door, she saw her father looking at her kindly.
In an instant, the girlish side hidden deep inside her was revealed. In front of Consort Tong, she needed to pretend to be strong. The men were not around, and they had to rely on their own strength to defeat the invaders.
Consort Tong wielded the most power; besides Emperor Kangxi, only she could command Yin Jitai's army. After the incident, Qingyan watched as Consort Tong remained upright in her high position, issuing orders to the new army while simultaneously pondering how to protect the women within the camp.
"Father..." Qingyan rushed towards Feiyanggu, finally able to let go of the bitterness in her heart. "Waaah, those people came for the imperial tent, they even know where the twins are!"
Qingyan's words were somewhat unclear. Yin looked at Fei Yanggu, who merely gave him a wink, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
Fei Yanggu was relieved after coaxing Qingyan to relax.
"Little darling, have some tea first. It's too bitter for your health." Fei Yanggu loved his daughter, and if anyone dared to speak ill of her behind her back, he would definitely turn on them without hesitation.
She obediently drank the water, and Fei Yanggu then explained to Yin.
The night before last, none of them were at the movie star's place. Outside the movie star's place, a number of Mongolian guards appeared, all dressed in black. Yin Jitai thought that someone had deliberately sent assassins, so he ordered them all to be killed.
Unexpectedly, these people were only there to advance. After the first group arrived, the second group was basically composed of suicide soldiers. These people seemed to have no regard for their lives, desperately moving forward. This made Yin Jitai take them seriously. These people were no pushovers. Several of them were clearly guards of the Mongol leaders. Yin Jitai's men discovered this and quickly informed him.
Ultimately, Yin Jitai requested that the new army be sent, since the weapons the new army was equipped with were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Saito and Eshuo were merely following Kangxi's orders to protect Tuifei, Qingyan, and the twins.
Consort Tong ordered her son, Saito, to lead one-third of the new army to ambush the enemy at the camp gate.
Unfortunately, after they handed over the money, the men in black quietly entered the camp and even managed to sneak into Yin's tent, intending to kill the twins. However, the tent was empty, leaving them with no way to escape. Seto had already dispatched men to guard around Yin's tent.
They were very worried that these people were after the twins. Seeing that the twins' safety was so greatly threatened, they immediately ordered them to be shot.
"What about those Mongolian wives?" Yin felt something was very wrong; these people were clearly after the twins.
etc!
A strange thought suddenly flashed through Yin's mind: why would these people target the twins?
"Father-in-law, are you sure these people are Mongolians? Could they have been sent by Galdan? Or perhaps they were sent by Tsarist Russia like last time?" Yin asked.
Fei Yanggu also hoped that they were wrong. After Kangxi returned, he had someone secretly investigate, but the result was still the same.
“Yes, there’s nothing we can do about it!” Fei Yanggu gave a definite answer, and Yin’s expression turned even more grim.
The Mongol leaders have always been like this; they not only want benefits, but also hope that someone can help them from behind. Therefore, many people say behind their backs that these people are selfish and have waited too long before deciding to kill Kangxi and the princes during the autumn harvest. This remark made Angfeiyanggu and others feel uneasy.
Having served as subjects for so many years, Fei Yanggu and others had always obeyed the orders of Emperor Kangxi. If they were to obey the orders of a mere child, they would feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Fourth Prince, which one do you choose? This time, His Majesty probably won't tolerate it!" Fei Yanggu understands Kangxi. If he can still contact the leaders of the attack this time...
Even if Yinzhi hadn't intervened, and only Suo'etu had, Kangxi certainly wouldn't have let the Crown Prince off easily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin was slightly taken aback. What Fei Yanggu said was true. Back then, Kangxi had only issued the imperial edict to abolish the crown prince when he could no longer tolerate it. At that time, Yinxiang was also implicated. This matter happened even earlier.
This change is for the best, as it will spare Yinxiang from such torment. Yinxiang was Yinxiang's favorite younger brother. Not only did Yinxiang help Yinxiang a lot during the Yongzheng era, but most importantly, after ascending the throne, he was the only good brother who did not become estranged due to the change in status.
"Father-in-law, how confident are you?" Yin didn't mince words. Fei Yanggu's willingness to ask meant he wanted Yin to prepare more thoroughly.
Kangxi's temper was getting worse and worse. If the worst-case scenario happened, Yinzhi would certainly not be as unruly as usual, and Kangxi would not be as tolerant of him as usual.
Yin always felt that Kangxi was waiting for a miracle. During this period, Yin was often kept by Kangxi's side for social engagements.
Many court officials were asking Emperor Kangxi what he planned to do.
They can't be supporting the Crown Prince one minute and then being purged by Emperor Kangxi the next.
“These Mongol leaders will definitely settle scores. The people in the capital must be unable to hold back any longer, otherwise they wouldn’t be using these methods to speak!” Fei Yanggu was a shrewd man. He realized that the people in the capital were acting too hastily. In addition, the conflict between the Crown Prince and the Emperor was growing stronger.
As the princes grew older, Kangxi's thoughts became increasingly complicated. Fei Yanggu was always worried that he was not capable enough and that this would implicate Yinzhen.
“Father-in-law, I’ve also heard some rumors. It seems that since we left the capital, there have been quite a few underhanded moves. Moreover, it seems that the eldest son of the Crown Prince has also secretly come over and spent the whole night with the Crown Prince before quietly leaving!” Yin heard the news from the capital, but he didn’t want to say it at first, after all, it would be a sin to do so.
"Fourth Master, you can't just say things like that!" Fei Yanggu was taken aback. If Fei Yanggu was going to make such an arrangement, His Majesty would definitely know, then things would really be hard to say.
"Father-in-law, what do you think?" Yin smiled.
Fei Yanggu sighed. How could Prime Minister Suo still be so brainless? Back then, his thoughts and actions were somewhat wrong, and sometimes he would leave some loose ends. It was only because of Empress Yuan and their past friendship that Kangxi did not punish him.
Now that Yin is growing up and can rival Kangxi, Prime Minister Suo is also starting to have his own ideas, hoping to get Yin to take control of the power.
Fei Yanggu gave a cold laugh. Who could outsmart Kangxi?
Back then, every one of the San Francisco clans was a shrewd and calculating individual, but what happened to them in the end?
That one didn't just end up with his family destroyed; Prime Minister Suo wanted to fill the entire Hesheli area with his blood. (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.)
