The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Yinzhen has been in the palace for a month, but there has been no news, which makes Changning a little anxious.

The fortune tellers she had people keeping an eye on had been more and more active in recent days. Not only did they often read the fortunes of some court officials, they also predicted that there would be changes in the Qing Dynasty in the near future.

Moreover, today, the guards in the capital city suddenly tightened up. Anyone walking or running around on the streets would be arrested. If anyone disobeyed, they would be beheaded on the spot. Suddenly, no one dared to shout.

Such a scene naturally alarmed the entire capital.

Just as Changning was pondering over what had happened, Changhua sent someone back with a message saying that one of his classmates at the Imperial Observatory said that there was something unusual in the sky yesterday, with a meteor entering the Purple Palace, and that the person in the Qianqing Palace must have passed away.

The person who brought the message was Changhua's personal servant. Changning knew him and he was the eldest brother's confidant. This matter was of great importance and if it was written on a piece of paper, there would inevitably be mistakes.

When Changning heard the news, he stood up suddenly, feeling both shocked and excited as expected.

Kangxi passed away!

Changning seemed to hear her own heartbeat like a drum. She forced herself to suppress her emotion and told Zhao Fuhai to call Zhang Qilin.

After Yinzhen left the house, he left Zhang Qilin in the front yard, and he was in charge of all matters, big and small.

Zhang Qilin also received the news of the martial law in the capital. He was very perceptive and immediately ran to the main courtyard, where he bumped into Zhao Fuhai who had just left the house.

"Fujin." Zhang Qilin bent down to listen to the lecture. Changning didn't have time to waste time talking to him. She told him the whole thing in a few words and asked him to guard every corner of the mansion immediately, close the main gate, and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Only the corner door should be opened to allow the vegetable cart and toilet to enter and exit. All other matters should be put off for later.

It is most taboo to cause chaos at this time.

If nothing unexpected happens, today is the day when Yinzhen receives the imperial edict of ascension to the throne. He must not allow anyone to take advantage of the chaos to eavesdrop on the news or do anything in Prince Yong's mansion.

In addition, Changning's eyelids began to twitch violently, which made her feel very bad.

What else?

Where else could trouble arise?

The mansion has been put under surveillance, and she cannot intervene in the palace. She can only rely on the methods of Yinzhen and Fucha.

Ah!

Those masters!

Changning believed in her premonition, and her mind was extremely clear at the moment. Almost in a flash, she thought of the astronomical phenomenon of "a meteor entering the Purple Palace".

People in ancient times were very superstitious.

In addition to the Imperial Observatory, the master's words are also particularly convincing.

What if, just when Yinzhen received the imperial edict and was about to ascend the throne, those masters came out and made some misleading prophecies? Wouldn't that be unlucky? !

Changning jumped up almost instantly and asked someone to call Hongyan over.

Hongyan was still studying in the study with his brothers. He didn't know what was happening outside the mansion. His father had taught him that one should be calm when studying. He should not pay attention to what was happening outside the window and should concentrate on reading the books of sages.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch Zhao Fuhai who was beside my mother came running over breathlessly, saying that my mother wanted to ask him for something.

Hong Yan was shocked, not knowing what was going on. Seeing that the eunuch looked not well, he did not say much and immediately stood up and followed him.

Hong Zhao, Hong Min and Hong Chen also wanted to go back with him, but were stopped by his eyes.

"Nonsense! You are studying here, don't forget what your father and mother said. When you come back later, I will test you too."

Seeing the third brother scolding loudly, the three younger brothers sat down obediently and dared not move.

How scary! Woohoo! Woohoo! My brother is so scary, just like Ama!

Hong Yan turned around and left, and soon arrived at the main courtyard.

"Mother, what happened?" Hong Yan saw that his mother, who was always calm and steady, was panicking. She grabbed his arm tightly and whispered, "Hong Yan, mother wants you to arrest a few people. This matter must not be made public. It must be done cleanly and neatly, and no one can recognize your identity. Do you know how serious it is?"

Hong Yan restrained his expression and nodded quickly: "Son knows."

Changning felt helpless. She didn't want to put her son in danger, but she had no better choice.

At this critical moment, she only trusted Hong Yan, so she had to let her son make this trip, and then let him take the guards around him, disguise himself, and catch the person as soon as possible.

As early as when Hongyan entered the palace to study, Yinzhen had assigned sword-carrying guards to both him and Honghui, who became their own confidants and team.

Hong Yan has a good relationship with his Hahazhuzi and the guards, and they are all trustworthy brothers. At this time, they are needed to be loyal and do things, and each of them is obliged to do so.

Alin'a, in particular, admires Hongyan the most. As long as Hongyan gives an order, he would rather die than regret it.

Changning felt a little relieved until his son and his men left the house and Zhang Qilin closed all the gates.

This is all she can do for now. She doesn't know how Yinzhen is doing.

Things are actually going quite smoothly for Yinzhen.

Before his death, Kangxi had a moment of clarity. He summoned him to his bedside and gave him careful instructions: "Fourth Brother, I know you are a practical person, but you are prone to failure if you are too rigid. If you only focus on legal principles and do not understand human feelings, you will inevitably have resentment. You must learn how to use people and know how to check and balance."

Yinzhen knew that these were words of advice from the Emperor, so he did not dare to be perfunctory and kept them all in mind.

"Your elder brother is ambitious, but he is too obsessed with love. Don't let him indulge in it for too long. It will hurt his body and heart.

The third son is pedantic and ambitious, but timid and afraid to cause trouble. He became much more honest after being punished by me, but he is confused in the backyard. If he can be used in the future, he will be used. If he cannot be used, let him wake up and talk about it later.

The fifth brother is honest and gentle. He might bother you with the matters of Concubine Yi and the ninth brother in the future. However, he has a kind character and a deep brotherly love for you. You can let him control the situation in Mongolia to a certain extent.

The Seventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth are all following you, so just use them.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is Yinreng... You just need to treat Hongxi and the others well and give them a rich and stable life.

well……"

Having said this, Kangxi seemed unwilling to say any more. He waved his hand, asked him to leave, and closed his eyes.

Yinzhen looked at his once majestic father, now in decline, and holding back his tears, he respectfully withdrew from the hall.

Then several ministers trusted by Kangxi were called in.

All the princes were guarding the gate of the Qianqing Palace. When they saw Yinzhen's appearance, they knew that something was wrong with their father, and they were all filled with grief.

Prince Zhi, such a big man, couldn't hold back his tears, and murmured: "Father Emperor...Father Emperor...Do you still remember Baoqing...Baoqing is your eldest son, your Baturu..."

The third brother huddled aside, also looking dejected.

The other princes all looked sad, but they were all muttering in their hearts that it seemed that the emperor wanted the fourth brother to succeed to the throne.

Not long after, Liang Jiugong's deep and angry voice was heard: "The Emperor! He has passed away!"
