As afternoon approached, the two ships faced off for nearly two hours. Qingyan sat in a rattan chair, while Suzhu and Sulan squatted on the ground, massaging Qingyan's legs.
The twins sat not far away, playing with their toys to pass the time.
The online trolls were still locked in a standoff, but Qingyan was no longer afraid.
"Mother, what are those people doing?" Yiken'e took a look through the telescope and found that the enemy's ships were surrounded by the navy fleet. Yinhe's command ship remained in a fixed sea area and showed no intention of moving forward.
"They are bad people who have violated the Qing Dynasty's territorial waters. Regardless of their nationality, they must be dealt with if they violate the Qing Dynasty's territorial waters."
“Your mother is right. Any infringement on the interests of the Qing Dynasty cannot be forgiven!” Yin walked in from outside. The other party’s ships might be related to the princes. Yin was not going to let it go any longer and planned to take this opportunity to rectify the waters of Guangdong and Guangxi.
When Yin returned, he sat down next to Qingyan and looked at Yiken pouting. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That brat is always so serious."
At this moment, Yiken'e was struggling with his thoughts. Kangxi told him to govern with benevolence and not to be harsh and mean, while Yinzhen was arguing for the interests of the Qing Dynasty. If it were any other day, Qingyan would have stood behind Yinzhen and helped him speak up for Yiken'e.
“My grandfather said that a ruler should govern with benevolence!” Yiken’e said.
Yin stared wide-eyed at Yiken'e in astonishment. Once, Yin had sent Hongli to Kangxi's side, but Kangxi had not put any effort into teaching Hongli. In the end, Hongli only learned a little bit of the basics, which led to the destruction of the foundation of his Qing Dynasty.
Now, he wanted to personally train Yiken'e, but found that Kangxi had been giving him instructions on how to be a ruler.
"Father, did I say something wrong?" Yiken asked, tilting her little head.
Yin shook his head. What Yiken'e said was not wrong. However, the emperor's implementation of benevolent governance also depends on the situation. Kangxi's methods were also very ruthless in the first 15 years. It was only after the suppression of the Three Feudatories that he began to implement benevolent governance.
"When did I tell you?!" Yin asked, looking at Yiken'e.
“I’ve been told this since I was little. Also, if benevolent governance doesn’t work, then we must start using rules to restrain people!” Every word Yiken’e said reflected the realities of the Kangxi era. “My father always tells me in advance whenever he takes me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review memorials.”
A smile appeared on Yin's face. Kangxi probably had his eye on Yiken'e; otherwise, he wouldn't have started teaching him at such a young age.
"Fourth brother, come here with your sister-in-law!" Yin hurriedly pushed open the door of Wangshi and said in a loud voice.
Qingyan was taken aback. It was extremely rare for Yin to barge in so rudely; something must really be wrong.
The two exchanged a glance, told Su Lan that they must take good care of the children, and then left the observation room one after the other.
Inside the flower hall, Lady Yin Genjue Luo was furious. Qing Yan walked in and found it very strange. What was going on?
"Fourth brother, we still need to let Qingyan take a look secretly!" Erlu looked at the man, feeling somewhat uncertain, only saying that he had seen him a few times at Linglong Pavilion.
Qingyan turned her head and looked through the openwork glass at another room, where three or four people were sitting around a round table, their faces showing solemn expressions.
"Are they the same people?" Qingyan carefully observed the group, and she was certain that she had seen two of them before.
She activated the space's missing person system and entered the two people's "hair" information. Qingyan discovered that the two people might have been disguised.
"Bayan, go check on those four people. If any of them are disguised, that's a good sign." Qingyan's words shocked Yinhe.
Disguise?!
After receiving the order, Bayan went to the room next door. He observed carefully for a while, then decisively stepped forward and tore off the human skin masks from the faces of the two men.
Yin saw through their true colors and slammed his fist on the table. He recognized them; one of them was an advisor to Yin Zhi, who had been helping Yin Zhi with some behind-the-scenes work.
"It's actually these two people!" Yin was furious. "What is the third brother trying to do?"
On the surface, Yin Zhi was a very proper person. In fact, apart from books, there was nothing that could arouse her interest.
"Brother, I think it's best to resolve this matter directly without reporting it to Father Emperor!" Yin rubbed his temples, knowing that Father Emperor would be furious if he found out.
Even the princes don't care about the interests of the Qing Dynasty, so Kangxi certainly can't expect others to pay attention to them!
“Fourth, the other one is from Yuqing Palace!” Qingyan said helplessly.
Bang!
Yin walked straight out, and Qingyan looked at him in confusion. Why did Yin leave so abruptly?
"Little Darling, are you sure that person is from Yuqing Palace?" Yin looked at the other person, but didn't have much of an impression of him.
Yin also left. Only after the two brothers were gone did Yingenjueluoshi breathe a sigh of relief. Those two were really too much of a threat.
"Sister-in-law, how is Songkriyirha?" Qingyan was very worried when she heard that Songkriyirha had been frightened.
"It's all my fault, for insisting on taking the little girl outside to watch. She just happened to see those things!" When Yin Genjue Luo heard that her youngest daughter had seen Tu Lichen being interrogated, she was shocked and began to blame Yin.
"Sister-in-law, my brother also wanted Songkelierha to deliver it faster, but who would have thought that those people were so clever that they actually tried to lay a hand on the child!" Qingyan said helplessly.
Yin Genjue Luo sighed. Her daughter was being disturbed even in her dreams. What else could she say?
Afterwards, Yin was very remorseful, but he couldn't bring back his daughter's smile.
"Imperial Physician Yuan came to examine the little girl and prescribed some medicine. I think it's very effective!" Lady Yin Genjue Luo was grateful to the twins from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for these two children, Emperor Kangxi would definitely not have let Imperial Physician Yuan come. Now that Imperial Physician Yuan is here, Songkelierha's mood can slowly improve.
Qingyan's words of comfort warmed the heart of Lady Yingenjueluo.
“Tomorrow, sister-in-law, bring Songkelierha to the watchtower so the children can play together. I think that should help them recover faster,” Qingyan said directly.
Yin Genjue Luo nodded: "She just took some calming medicine, so I didn't let her come out."
Inside the observation room, Xiao Sula, who was beside Yiken'e, told him about Songkelierha. Yiken'e frowned; he had heard a little about those interrogation methods.
"You saw the whole thing?!" Yiken asked calmly.
Little Sula quickly explained the situation. Tulichen was ordered to resolve it as soon as possible, and without much thought, he resorted to extreme measures.
