After the men in black were arrested, Kangxi's courtyard was brightly lit. He waited in his study for a long time, preparing to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
After comforting Empress Dowager Tong, Consort Tong came directly over. With the twins and Songkelierha all safe, Emperor Kangxi was in the mood to deal with the problem.
Yin and his female relatives arrived. Before leaving, the four of them specifically ordered the guards to surround the bedroom.
"Were the children frightened?" Consort Tong asked directly.
After the ceremony, everyone took their seats. Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan quickly reported that the children hadn't woken up yet, and Tu Lichen had already detained the person.
"My dear mother, have you seen any men in black here?" Qingyan quickly asked.
Those people clearly orchestrated this from behind the scenes, setting up a trap specifically to target the twins.
"Why was even Songkelierha involved?" Yin Genjueluo asked, somewhat puzzled.
Previously, Qingyan had given some special instructions, and Yin and his wife thought Qingyan was being overly worried. Today, however, they were genuinely grateful to Qingyan. If Qingyan hadn't had Su Peisheng speak to him again, Yin wouldn't have had his guards surround the courtyard.
"In order to leave safely," Consort Tong said directly.
The men in black split into two groups, hoping to gain leverage. Emperor Kangxi, who favored twins, would undoubtedly send many guards to surround them. The situation with Songkelierha was different; as long as they could control one child, they could safely leave the courtyard.
“Mother, we owe it all to Xiao Guai again this time. Otherwise, Songkri Yierha would have been captured,” Yin Tan said.
Yesterday, after hearing what Kangxi said, the two brothers met and both agreed that their goal should be twins.
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Tulichen will be back from the interrogation later, and you two can listen carefully." Yin and Yin had probably both heard the men in black speaking Mongolian, so to avoid trouble, letting the two of them know the truth was fine.
As dawn approached, Tulichen still hadn't been able to get any information out of them. Most of the men in black spoke Mongolian, and after listening to them once, he couldn't determine which tribe they belonged to.
“My lord, this servant cannot discern which tribe these people are from,” Tulichen replied.
Emperor Kangxi was devastated. He knew very little about the different pronunciations of the various Mongol tribes.
"Li Dequan, have Yinqi come over," Kangxi ordered.
Yin's complexion was not good. Among the princes, Yinqi was the most knowledgeable about the various Mongolian tribes and also knew the various Mongolian languages.
“.” Li Dequan bowed and left the tent.
Everyone fell silent. What could have been a fun time had turned out like this.
"Father, should we leave here?" Yin asked, worried that someone might find out Kangxi's whereabouts and come looking for him.
Emperor Kangxi hesitated, and the princes followed him, encountering numerous problems, even their safety could not be guaranteed.
"Not for now," Kangxi shook his head and refused.
Qingyan listened silently. No news from Linglong Pavilion had come over; everything had been blocked by Kangxi.
Inside the hall, the women rolled up their handkerchiefs, lowered their faces, and looked as if they were listening attentively to the sacred teachings.
"Mother, please go back and rest. Your son will take them to see her!" Kangxi respectfully saw Empress Dowager Tong off, then turned and led everyone outside.
Empress Dowager Tong left through the side door, and Consort Tong's expression underwent a subtle change.
"Lanya, take the women to the side hall to listen in, and do not make a sound," Kangxi said sternly.
Consort Tong nodded and said, "Understood, Your Majesty. Please be careful as well." Consort Tong understood that there were many problems this time, and that it also involved the Mongol tribes, which made Kangxi feel depressed.
Qingyan walked to the side hall and found that its layout was similar to that of Chengqian Palace.
After everyone was seated, she pursed her lips and scrunched up her little face, quietly listening to the sounds outside.
Inside the main hall, Tulichen brought in several prisoners alive.
Four men in black knelt inside the hall, their faces covered in wounds.
"Master, these men are all top-notch members of the Black-Clad Men. The outer guards have all been silenced," Tu Lichen reported.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan harbored resentment. After the Empress Dowager was left in a daze, these rough and tough Mongolians who had been exiled became the victims.
Now, if Kangxi were to question the various Mongol tribes, their leaders would likely deny it outright.
puff!
The man in black discovered Kangxi and immediately bit off his tongue, committing suicide.
"Damn it!" Kangxi cursed under his breath.
Qingyan, however, felt that these people were quite capable. When they came here, they should have remembered what Kangxi looked like. Upon discovering that they had been captured, they only wanted to die quickly.
Yin stared at the other party; the men in black on the ground had caught them off guard.
"Tulichen, repeat everything these people just said." Kangxi was filled with anger.
Tulichen relayed what those people had said. It must be said that their accents had changed somewhat, with many of them speaking in the Khorchin dialect.
“Father, it sounds like the accent of the Khorchin people,” Yin said directly.
Since the battle with Galdan, Yin has been speaking with the people of Khorchin.
Yin nodded. They understood very little of what he said and could only estimate the range based on the general accent.
In the side hall, Qingyan was stunned. These people were extremely ruthless, and it was possible for them to change their accents.
“Mother, your daughter-in-law thinks it’s because the accent has changed.” Guo Luoma, the grandmother of Yingenjueluo, came from the grasslands. She had heard these accents since she was a child and could distinguish the differences.
Consort Tong looked at Lady Yin Genjue Luo with surprise, noticing that Lady Yin Genjue Luo's expression was solemn.
"Shu, go and tell His Majesty. The eldest daughter-in-law should have understood," Consort Tong quickly said.
After all, this matter concerns the harmony of the Mongol tribes, and there can be no negligence whatsoever; otherwise, the problem will become increasingly serious.
Shu quickly went out and approached Kangxi, whispering a few words to him.
Kangxi's lips curled up slightly; he was waiting for Lady Yingenjueluo to speak up for her maternal family.
"Alright, the eldest son's maternal family came from various Mongol tribes, so they should know the specific tones. Tulichen, go over and repeat it again." Kangxi's words stunned the princes. It turned out that Kangxi had planned every step in advance. The fact that Lady Yingenjueluo would point out the mistake was probably within Kangxi's plan.
Yin smiled bitterly; Kangxi had really planned everything perfectly.
A moment later, Qingyan looked up and saw a burly figure standing at the door. Upon hearing the voice, Yin Genjueluo trembled slightly. This must be one of the Empress Dowager's closest relatives.
It is said that this branch has no descendants, and those people in the south are probably the legitimate sons who were sent away back then.
“My dear mother, this branch might be unusable.” With a wry smile, Consort Tong had a bad feeling.
"Which one?!" Consort Tong thought it was just a rumor circulating outside, but it turns out the rumors were true.
