In a villa in Jiangnan, Emperor Kangxi was playing chess with Consort Tong. Both of them had rosy complexions. Consort Tong was relaxed and looked in Kangxi's direction.
"Your Majesty, why do you want the children to be over there?" Consort Tong said helplessly.
"Lanya, the situation is not good right now, so letting the children stay there is the best option!" Kangxi said with emotion.
Li Dequan came in, gave a brief report, and then Yin Si came over to pay his respects.
"Let him go back first!" Kangxi knew that Consort Tong did not like Yinsi. "In addition, tell him to behave himself and do his job well for the next few days, and not to come over again."
At the entrance, Yin Si looked at Li Dequan with a smile on his face. After hearing what Li Dequan had brought, the smile on his face did not change at all.
After Li Dequan left, Yinsi's face darkened. As long as Consort Tong was there, no one else could see Kangxi. Therefore, the female relatives prepared by the officials in the south had already become the cold palace as soon as they entered the palace.
"Master, shouldn't we..." the Eighth Prince's wife said directly, "... ...
Last time, the Eighth Prince's wife went directly to Qingyan's courtyard, only said a few words, and was then seen off by Qingyan. If Yinsi comes this time as well, the women should at least give her some face.
Yinsi looked at his wife in surprise after hearing her words. In the past, if the Fourth Prince's wife was in such a state, the Eighth Prince's wife would definitely not go. Unless there was some benefit involved, the Eighth Prince's wife would never give in.
"Fujin, do you have something to ask your fourth sister-in-law?" Yinsi asked directly.
The Eighth Prince's wife looked at Yinsi with a puzzled expression. How could he possibly have something to ask Qingyan? She just felt that the Jueluo clan and the Ulanara clan should be getting closer.
The Fourth Prince has been imprisoned, which will hinder his future career. If he can stand on the side of Yinsi, the Prince will be considered a powerful figure.
"Your Majesty, let's go first!" The Eighth Prince's wife told Yinsi to leave first. After they left Kangxi's courtyard and walked in the corridor, the Eighth Prince's wife finally spoke.
"Speak, what is it?" Yinsi asked, looking at his wife.
Jue Luo was much smarter than Guo Luo. If it had been before, Guo Luo would definitely have said it in public. In Kangxi's courtyard, every word they said would have been relayed to Kangxi verbatim.
“Your Highness, I just want the Fourth Prince to stand on your side after he comes out. To be honest, the Fourth Prince is under house arrest, so his prestige among the ministers is definitely not as high as yours. So, wouldn’t it be better if we could gain their influence through the banquet?” The Eighth Prince’s wife’s words made Yinsi want to laugh.
In Kangxi's mind, Yinzhi and Yinzhi were of equal status, but their other brothers were different, with some degree of difference between each brother.
"Fujin, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Don't hold any hope for Fourth Brother. I'm sure it won't be easy for him!" Yinsi said directly.
The Eighth Prince's wife looked very unhappy; Yin Si had actually refused outright.
Inside the courtyard where he was under house arrest, Qingyan sat in his study, watching the video. The situation of Yinsi and his wife was the most important thing; the only people who could frame them were probably these two.
"Sisi, how many more days are we going to stay here?" Qingyan asked.
Qingyan felt uncomfortable staying in this small place for too long. She would be even better if she could go out shopping.
"Of course you'll stay longer. Didn't you say a while ago that you liked being confined?" Yin said half-jokingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan glared at Yin with a huff. Weren't those words meant for Jue Luo Shi to hear?
"Fourth Prince, how could you treat me like this! I was saying that to my mother, didn't you see how guilty my mother felt?" Qingyan had carefully observed Jue Luo's eyes, and besides, these things were probably done by the Jue Luo clan and the Eighth Prince's wife, so her expression was unnatural.
"Eighth Prince will definitely not give up. News has come from outside that Yinsi goes to pay his respects to Father Emperor and Mother Emperor every day!" Yinsi slammed the memorial on the table.
Yin heard that Yin had been moved away, and it seemed that they wouldn't be able to stay here for much longer.
"My lord, your father-in-law sent word that His Majesty has decreed that you and your wife go to the courtyard to receive the order," Su Peisheng said directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan spat out her tea. She knew that the imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi would arrive shortly after she finished speaking.
"Little darling, don't bring the children. Let's just go by ourselves!" Yin said, glancing at Qingyan.
Qingyan wore a pale yellow palace dress today, embroidered with large magnolia blossoms, and auspicious cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs.
The two sat in the carriage and slowly drove towards Kangxi's courtyard. Su Zhu and Su Peisheng sat in the carriage shaft.
"Little darling, the reason we were able to leave early this time is probably because of Yin Si. Recently, Yin Si has been too active, and Father Emperor must be having a hard time dealing with him!" The Crown Prince is definitely going to be imprisoned, and we still don't know where he went.
"Fourth Prince, it's said outside that the Crown Prince has been moved back to the palace in the capital and placed under house arrest. Is that true?" Qingyan only found out about this from the people who had arranged it outside, and she was also very curious.
"It's probably true. I've heard that the Crown Prince was behind this." Yin wondered what the Crown Prince wanted to do. Why would he confine him to his quarters? This action surprised everyone.
"What?!" Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, "The Crown Prince himself wants to be confined to his quarters?"
Logically, shouldn't the crown prince be more confident? How come he has now turned himself into a useless pawn?
“The people below are certain of the news’s authenticity, so all I can say is that the Crown Prince is probably about to make a move. My elder brother hasn’t said anything, and has even withdrawn from the competition for that position. The Crown Prince won’t be keeping a close eye on us.” Yin whispered in Qingyan’s ear, “If I’m not mistaken, the Crown Prince’s real target should be Yinsi, not us!”
Upon hearing Yin's assurance, Qingyan felt lightheaded, realizing that her worries had been completely unnecessary.
“Once we get there, we can just go along with it. I think Father Emperor must have something to do, something for everyone to handle. Otherwise, why would he send all these people over here in such a hurry?” Qingyan also found it a bit strange.
In recent days, Kangxi had sent many people to visit the princes, but they all refused to be released. Now, they have been released directly. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.
"Therefore, caution is the best policy!" Yin said directly.
