At dawn, Suo Keshuo arrived at the imperial tent again. Master Yuan Yi had already arrived from a thousand miles away. Kangxi instructed Master Yuan Yi to watch over someone who was tied up like a rice dumpling.
"Fourth Brother, are we going in too?" Qingyan tugged at Yin's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
The situation inside the imperial tent was too tense, and she hesitated, after all, she was not a member of the royal family.
"Yes, Father Emperor summoned us here, he must have his reasons," Yin echoed. The previous night, Yin's actions had genuinely worried Qingyan; the shock and hatred in his eyes almost made her think that Yin had spoken of Suo Keshuo.
The two of them walked into the imperial tent side by side. She found that a large number of people had gathered inside, with most of the ministers kneeling on both sides. Today, the aftermath of the wolf pack incident was about to begin.
"Little darling, let's sit in the corner." This was the first time Yin had met Consort Liang's father. The Sokoshuo family was considered the most powerful family in the northern desert. How many people were waiting to bring them down?
Yin held her small hand tightly, his tendons growing larger and larger, as if he were arguing with someone.
Qingyan hesitated. Could it be that Yintian and the Eighth Prince were mortal enemies?
“Master Yuanyi, this is the person who has encountered trouble.” Kangxi looked at Master Yuanyi, who was the national advisor trusted by Emperor Shunzhi. Whenever Kangxi was in trouble, he would appear immediately.
Master Yuanyi wore a bright yellow monk's robe and a large red jeweled kasaya, making him appear radiant.
His eyebrows and beard were snow-white, but his aged eyes were still bright and piercing.
"Princess, how have you been?" Master Yuan Yi's deep voice made Qing Yan's heart skip a beat. Perhaps, this was the person they couldn't trust.
Master Yuanyi gazed at Qingyan with a smile. He was very happy to see the little princess becoming more and more intelligent. At first, everyone was worried that something bad would happen to this little princess.
"Master, hello." Suddenly, the image of Ms. Cang popped into Qingyan's mind. She couldn't help it; she had indeed been corrupted to the point of being worthless.
Master = Great Master!
Her head was lowered, a slight smile playing on her lips, and all sorts of chaotic thoughts raced through her mind. Seeing Master Yuan Yi's aged appearance, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What a sin!"
Half an hour later, Master Yuan Yi shook his head. His Majesty's ability to judge people was extremely high. This person was under a spell, which ordinary people would definitely not be able to tell. If he had arrived a day later, the Sokoshuo family would have been completely trapped.
The scope of those instigating this will expand, with everyone from Mongolian princes to ministers in the capital becoming targets of suspicion.
“Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the Sokoshuo Prince’s family. They must be being controlled by someone through magic.” Yin stared at the situation before him. Previously, some people had said that Father Emperor suppressed the Sokoshuo family in order to control Mongolia.
The rights and wrongs of the past life cannot be determined, but no irreversible tragedy has occurred in this life.
"Are you sure?" Kangxi asked, looking at Master Yuanyi.
"I am certain." Each of the Mongol tribes had a high priest, and their power was something Kangxi could not ignore.
Master Yuanyi alone could not compete with those people.
The ministers below wished they could come over without listening. With the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager overseeing the struggle between the royal family and the Mongols, how could they dare to interfere?
"Master Yuanyi, what do you think should be done about this?" Only a close relative could take the hair from Sokoshuo's eldest son; it seems this person's informant is extremely well hidden.
Master Yuanyi shook his head, saying that this matter needed further consideration.
Kangxi and Fuquan exchanged glances, both brothers feeling a bit of lingering fear. If they had truly wronged Suo Keshuo, the Empress Dowager might be furious with them. When it came to matters involving Mongolia, the brothers had to be extra careful and cautious, lest the Empress Dowager find any more fault with them.
"Little darling, what do you think?" Yin whispered to Qingyan.
Qingyan tilted his head and stared silently at the man on the ground. At this moment, his eyes were still extremely unfocused, and he could not be considered a normal person with independent behavior at all.
"It's hard to say." Qingyan's little hand reached for the grapes on the table next to her. These were sent from Xinjiang by fast horse, and they tasted pretty good.
The little guy seemed out of place, like a little hamster, happily and contentedly eating.
Yin looked at the woman beside him, showing no concern that Kangxi would be furious, and continued to stuff food into his mouth as usual. Barry was also stuffing himself with food.
"Little darling, don't eat yet." Yin's words did not make Qingyan happy; instead, he rolled his eyes at him.
Kangxi sat on the throne, watching the commotion below with delight. Yin and Qingyan's little actions did not escape his notice at all. To be honest, he was genuinely happy for the two children.
"Why? I'm not involved." Qingyan muttered to herself. She didn't like the atmosphere here; it was too somber.
Yin shook his head helplessly. Kangxi had Qingyan attend the meeting, hoping she could understand that standing by Yin's side meant facing these kinds of hurts.
Fei Yanggu looked at her youngest daughter, who still couldn't truly understand the requirements that the royal family had for their female relatives.
These insidious tactics, taking place in the royal back garden market, were something they couldn't resist even if they wanted to ensure a good banquet.
Arguments broke out inside the tent. The military generals were prepared to resolve the matter by force, but the censors advised Kangxi and the generals against large-scale military action against the Mongols.
Regardless of the reason, Emperor Kangxi could not tolerate anyone provoking the imperial family.
"Shut up!" Kangxi snapped.
Upon hearing this, the ministers all fell silent. They were behaving like docile quails.
Seeing this scene, Yin couldn't help but admire Kangxi even more. In his previous life, even his reprimands in the Golden Palace hadn't had such an effect; there was still a difference in imperial authority.
"Second Brother, what do you think?" Fuquan was the person Kangxi trusted most, and he would always consider Fuquan's thoughts whenever something happened.
Fuquan pondered. Sokoshuo's bloodline was very similar to that of the Khorchin. Every time they tried to cultivate Sokoshuo's lineage, the Empress Dowager would stop them.
"Your Majesty, let's put it aside for now. Grandmother is getting old. If we make any moves, she'll find out." Fuquan was naturally upset. He didn't like being supervised. In the palace, the Empress Dowager would often drag him and his brother into the palace and make them understand the reality of the situation through her words.
Yin gave a cold laugh. The resistance within the palace was slowly building. She held his hand tightly with her warm little hand.
The two didn't say much, but they understood each other's feelings.
"Sokosuo, I'm giving you a chance to investigate this matter personally." Kangxi looked at Sokosuo. They were both fathers, and he knew very well how they would protect their children. For the sake of the Empress Dowager, he was giving them another chance.
