Previously, the men in black realized they couldn't gain any more benefits, so they launched an attack. They brought some explosives, determined to dig three feet into the ground and eliminate Kangxi and his men; otherwise, they would never have a good life.
The men in black quickly reported back that they had not found the entrance to the secret passage in any of the rooms. They hurried back to their captain's side, awaiting his next instructions on whether they should proceed to the next step.
Before leaving Beijing, they all trained in gunpowder, specifically to guard against Emperor Kangxi establishing a military port and a secret passage. Therefore, they carried a large quantity of gunpowder.
They were all chosen by the Hesheli clan, and were considered their family's loyal followers.
"Go and handle it. Remember, be careful." The captain looked at his men. These men couldn't all be lost here. After they dealt with this problem, they had to go into hiding and wait for the Crown Prince's contact. After all, the Crown Prince was their only source of support.
Under the cover of darkness, the men in black placed all the explosive charges at the exit of the courtyard and detonated them.
Bang bang bang!
The three loud bangs caused everyone in the underground palace to shake. Yin was in a bad mood; it was clear that he was determined not to give up. They had never imagined that someone would be so persistent.
"Father, shall I go up and take a look?" Yin asked, somewhat worried.
"No need!" Kangxi shook his head and refused.
Qingyan listened to the commotion outside and knew it was deliberately created by those people to attract the attention of those hiding Yinqi.
"Listen up, all of you, we'll find you soon!" the captain shouted from outside.
The secret passage was very quiet; not a sound could be heard.
"Hmph, a clown." Yin sneered.
"Father, are we just going to let them go like this?" Yinzong felt that those who did not repent should not be let off lightly, otherwise, there would be endless troubles in the future.
Fei Yanggu walked straight in, bowed to Kangxi, and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. We can launch a counterattack at dawn. Yin Jitai has already reached the outer perimeter of the naval port!" Fei Yanggu used a secret signal flare to alert Yin Jitai. Along their way, Yin Jitai's army was stationed not far away. He instructed his men to come over as soon as they saw the signal flare.
Emperor Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "We will launch a counterattack tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Being bullied right in front of them, Kangxi actually gave up this opportunity to retaliate. This was too abnormal.
Did he want to give Yin one last chance to leave?
"It won't work today." Kangxi was determined to take a desperate gamble and see what the person behind the scenes was up to.
Consort Tong didn't try to persuade him further; Emperor Kangxi definitely had his own reasons.
"Tomorrow at midnight, Yin and Yin, you two go directly out through the secret passage and follow Yin Jitai and Fei Yanggu to extinguish these people at the main courtyard gate," Kangxi sighed. "Leave three alive, but the leader must be left behind."
Tu Lichen had a high opinion of the leader of the men in black; the man was very capable, and Tu Lichen probably wanted to get more information from him.
“!” Yin and Yin responded directly.
After the matter was discussed, the two couples left directly, leaving their three children with Kangxi, who then took their parents' place in serving him.
"Fourth Prince, why leave them alive? Haven't we already figured out who ordered it?" Qingyan couldn't understand Kangxi's meaning.
He sneered. His father clearly didn't believe the Crown Prince had rebelled and was preparing to have someone change the story and shift the blame onto Songgotu.
This trick isn't new, but it's very effective.
"Why aren't you saying anything!" Qingyan turned around and saw that Yin's face was very pale. She thought she had done something wrong.
“It’s not my turn to speak. Saying even one more word is wrong!” Yin didn’t care anymore. Kangxi had never really cared about his children. Every time the Crown Prince got into trouble, he would act like this.
Qingyan sneered, which chilled the hearts of all the princes.
"Little Darling, don't get involved. I'll talk to my father-in-law and Ah Hun and ask them to extricate themselves from this matter as much as possible. Otherwise, whatever they do will be wrong!" Tu Lichen had already taken care of it in advance. In his opinion, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Qingyan looked around the secret room they had been assigned. The layout of the courtyard was a perfect replica, with even the garden in front of the door being copied.
She stood at the window, watching the lotus flowers, bathed in candlelight, swaying in the bathtub.
"I don't want Father to cooperate with Yin Jitai; their positions are too awkward!" Fei Yanggu is Yin's father-in-law, yet he wants to deal with the Crown Prince. Those busybodies will definitely gossip about Fei Yanggu.
Yin smiled bitterly; they had no choice but to obey orders.
All day long, Yin and Qingyan were inseparable. At midnight, Qingyan changed into a dark blue palace dress with Buddha's hand and lotus flowers. She tied her hair into two small buns with a lotus five-treasure hairpin, and wore a lotus tassel gold hairpin at her temples. She also wore a lotus earring in each ear. She followed Yin's footsteps and walked directly towards the exit.
As the two reached the exit, they discovered that Lady Yin Genjue Luo had followed them out, and Qingyan's lips curled into a beautiful smile.
"Sister-in-law, you and Xiao Guai must stay together and not leave Erlu's encirclement." Yin smiled knowingly.
Both Yin and Yin were worried about the safety of their wives. They understood that Kangxi kept the children by his side to put them in a good position.
Using this method to force the two men, we absolutely cannot ruin the royal family's reputation.
"Master..." Yin Genjue Luo looked at Yin with unease, unsure if it was feasible.
"Yes, what the fourth brother said makes sense. You two can watch the battle from the rear!" Yin agreed.
He had lost many of his guards, and he needed to carefully consider how to preserve his power.
Qingyan stepped out of the secret passage and saw that the bluestone bricks of the main courtyard were now riddled with bullet holes, and the once lush green courtyard had been turned into charred ashes.
"Little darling, do these people have no regard for the law?!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi was furious.
If even Emperor Kangxi's courtyard is in this state, wouldn't their courtyards have all turned to ashes?
They had put some thought into decorating their courtyards. When Yin and Yin heard that they would be living there for half a year, they immediately bought all the necessary daily necessities.
These past two days, they were preparing to confess to the wives, but this happened.
"As expected, they appeared!" The group appeared at the door, and the man in black appeared directly. Qingyan felt that the leader was somewhat familiar, and his eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
"It's alright," Yin reassured Qingyan.
Only twenty men in black came, and they had more guards than the men. In addition, Yin Jitai had already blocked any reinforcements from the outside.
Inside the naval port, only these people were jumping around, so of course they weren't afraid.
"Why did you do this?" Yin asked the other person coldly.
The captain of the men in black just smiled coldly. None of these princes understood the hardships of ordinary people. After the incident, they shamelessly questioned him from the side.
“Prince Zhi, these people must be assassins!” Fei Yanggu knew the powerful and influential people around him, and no one but assassins would dress like this.
