In the northwest, with its endless yellow sand, the small courtyard had long been targeted. Outside the courtyard were spies, some disguised as locals and others as passersby.
The guards around Emperor Kangxi were all highly skilled, and they noticed something was amiss early on.
Yin and Qingyan were confined to their quarters again. They were not disturbed by what was happening outside and often hid in their space to observe the situation outside.
Yin changed into a comfortable bathrobe on the sofa and sat upright. Qingyan adjusted the surveillance footage in the capital with her small hands. Every move of Suo'etu and others was under their sight. He would not let Qingyan get involved in their war.
"Little darling, look at the situation outside. It's bound to anger Father Emperor," Yin said with a sneer.
The princes in the capital were all dispersed and cared for, and apart from the Crown Prince, only the Fifth Prince and the other young princes remained in the palace. Even though some people were coercing the princes in the palace, the imperial bloodline of the Aisin Gioro family had not been severed.
Qingyan was secretly alarmed; the emperor's cunning should never be underestimated. Otherwise, it would be the biggest mistake.
"Your Majesty discovered it long ago?" Qingyan looked up at Yin. Other matters could be overlooked, but this concerned the life and death, success and failure of the family.
A complex look flashed in Yin's eyes; Qingyan had finally figured it out.
He picked up his teacup and sipped the tea, which was much better than the tribute tea from outside.
"Don't stay silent, tell me the truth!!!" Qingyan threw away the remote control and pressed herself against Yin, hoping to get a clear answer.
Yin smiled faintly. How should he put it?
"Father Emperor only hopes that the Crown Prince will not go to this extreme." Soetu's instigation was the Crown Prince's biggest mistake. Without his instigation, the Crown Prince would not have been abandoned by Kangxi.
Yin held Qingyan in his arms. Even without her, he would have been involved in this incident, and then it wouldn't have been something that could be explained in just a few words.
The eldest prince and the third prince have clearly formed their own factions. At least, Mingzhu and Dong Eqi see this more clearly and remain inactive.
Many rumors circulated in the capital, most of which claimed that Emperor Kangxi would not return to the capital this time. These rumors were largely spread by Kangxi himself.
He was giving Songgotu, and even more so, the Crown Prince, one last chance.
"Can he understand?" In the capital, not only Songgotu was present, but the Empress Dowager also summoned many of the Mongol principal wives, who were her core supporters.
Yin shook his head. It was hard to say. Having been the Crown Prince for many years, it was inevitable that he would have some ulterior motives. In order to make his family even stronger, they would definitely take risks.
"Let's just watch the show." Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder. She knew that the Crown Prince had been established and deposed twice, and she had no idea how many schemes were in his heart.
Yin fed her fruit, wanting to write about the past. In the end, the Crown Prince was driven mad by reality. The more the Emperor doted on the Crown Prince before, the more he hated him during the struggle for the throne.
Emperor Kangxi personally entrusted Yinzhi with the task of seizing power, but Yinzhi used those same methods against Emperor Kangxi.
“Little darling, we’re already watching a show before we even get back.” Yin pointed to the Mongolian burly man on the screen. He looked to be around thirty years old, and the curved sword hidden in his robe indicated his high status.
She nodded slightly. The outer courtyard was guarded by the Imperial Guards, and the people in the inner courtyard could not see the scene in the outer courtyard at all. Kangxi sat upright in the grand chair, and Qingyan noticed the unnatural look on his face.
"Father, I still can't bear it." Back then, Kangxi wanted to save the lives of Wu Yingxiong and his son; at the very least, they shouldn't have let Princess Jianning live alone.
While outsiders were congratulating the victory of the Three Feudatories, who would have thought about Princess Jianning's future life, losing her son and husband in middle age—what a tragedy!
No wonder, after returning to the capital, Princess Jianning no longer entered the palace, and she refused all the rewards from the Empress Dowager. The servants and servants in Cining Palace were added to a list of those she refused to associate with.
"Little darling, the royal family isn't as good as it seems. At least, in the common world, there's no case of a son-in-law's family being completely ruined for the sake of his son's career," Yin sneered.
Whenever outsiders mention Angguma, they only compliment her as a strong woman who made the Qing Dynasty powerful. They don't see the people who were sacrificed and whose hearts were bleeding.
"Oh, Sisi, look at that woman!" Qingyan pointed to a woman on the screen, dressed in a qipao, but even a scoundrel wouldn't mistake her face.
When Fei Yanggu and his two sons disappeared, that woman always said meaningless things in front of Qing Yan, and even cursed them so that they would never come back.
"What is she doing here?" Qingyan was annoyed. No one had ever dared to curse Fei Yanggu before, but that person was definitely the first.
He shook his head. His Mongolian relatives had already left; the woman's appearance was too suspicious.
Oops!
Qingyan's face tightened. Was it because of her two older brothers?
She jumped off Yin's lap and dragged him outside. Seeing the two young masters' anxious expressions, the guards immediately let them pass.
Su Peisheng was still confused, but he had no choice but to run frantically with Yin and the others.
"Father, quickly... arrest that woman." Yinzao put aside the rules for princes and was preoccupied with the woman's conspiracy.
Kangxi and Fei Yanggu were stunned by Yin's shouts. He only paused for a moment before ordering Li Dequan to arrest the man.
"Little Fourth, stop being so well-behaved!" Kangxi felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Yin and Qingyan's slightly flushed faces from running.
The two little ones were worried about his safety, which shows they were being filial.
The woman was tied up by the guards led by Li Dequan. He glanced at her and realized that she looked somewhat familiar.
"Father, this is the person who made Qingyan cry." Yin felt a surge of hatred.
Immediately, the faces of those present darkened; how many people outside were waiting for revenge?
This woman is the legitimate daughter of a Mongolian prince from the northern steppes, and she is arrogant and domineering on the grasslands.
"Yin, are you sure?" Kangxi looked at his son, a chill running through him.
Yin nodded. Even if this person turned to ashes, he would still recognize him.
"It must be her!" Qingyan chimed in. Kangxi realized this was a tricky matter.
"When did you two discover this?" There was also one of Galdan's loyal followers in their courtyard. If the other side wanted to rescue this person, they needed to be even more vigilant.
Qingyan raised her little face and looked at Kangxi with an adorable expression.
"I saw her when we went out shopping." Qingyan was certain that the fleeting figure was this woman.
The woman trembled slightly upon hearing her answer; indeed, this woman was an oddball.
"You all go back first." Kangxi was prepared to treat this matter seriously, as the people on the Mongolian side were not peaceful.
Fei Yanggu thought things were getting serious, and his daughter was also involved. The little girl didn't know what dangers she was going to face.
Just now, Yin tugged hard at her sleeve, but she still spoke with unwavering defiance. This girl is such a headache.
"Feiyanggu, have someone protect them." Kangxi had kept them locked up because he wanted to prevent the two children from being harassed.
