Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Yinreng randomly picked out a Ferghana horse, handed it to Zhang Xi, and then left.

After returning to his tent, he saw Yinxiang and Yinzhen waiting for him in the tent drinking tea.

"Why are you here?"

Yinreng sat in the main seat and asked the two of them with a little surprise.

Yinxiang replied, "Second brother, Fourteenth and I were a little worried about you, so after sending the whip over, we waited for you in the tent."

"Is everything okay with Khan Ama?"

Yinreng shook his head.

"nothing."

Thinking about Khan Ama's growing fear of him, and also about his eighteenth brother.

He reminded me, "Don't come to see me so often these days."

"There are still seventeen or eighteen who are still young, so you should pay more attention to them, but don't get too close."

"By the way, don't get too close to those Mongolian tribesmen. Khan Ama will be unhappy."

Yinzhen was still a little confused, but Yinxiang already understood what his second brother, the Crown Prince, meant.

"Don't worry, brother. I understand."

The days that followed were relatively peaceful.

Moreover, because of the tribute horse, Kangxi felt that he had misunderstood the prince and still felt a little guilty, so he was extremely fond of Yinreng in recent days.

Not only was he kind and friendly, he also showed special favoritism to the prince. When facing those Mongolian princes and nobles, he praised the prince highly.

Yinzhen was so jealous.

But Yinxiang looked worried.

He saw the change in Khan's attitude towards his second brother, the Crown Prince.

It was several years ago that I was pampered like I am now.

After the second prince got married and gave birth to his eldest nephew Feng Sheng'e, Khan Ama's love for the second prince gradually faded.

Although he is still the most beloved among all the princes.

But it is no longer like in previous years, when I could only see my second brother.

In particular, he would occasionally praise other brothers and secretly suppress the second brother.

Therefore, Yinxiang did not feel happy about this sudden favor, but felt a little frightened.

There’s always a sense of the calm before the storm.

.........

At night, Yinreng, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, was awakened by Zhang Xi's voice.

"master."

"Master."

Yinreng opened his eyes in the darkness, threw back the quilt, stood up and sat on the couch.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Xi whispered, "Master, there's news coming from the Eighteenth Prince's camp that he's suddenly got a high fever and is in grave danger."

"The imperial physician said that if the high fever persists, my life may be in danger."

"It is now late at night, and those servants dare not disturb His Majesty, who is in a hurry."

"I heard from my subordinates that Consort Wang has already arrived."

Yinreng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

【I've waited so long.】

【finally come. 】

Then he opened his eyes. Even in the darkness, Zhang Xi could still feel his master's burning and unquestionable gaze.

"Zhang Xi, tell the doctor accompanying me this time to take the medicinal herbs prepared by the Crown Princess and send them to Eighteenth Brother's tent."

"Leave some of the best medicinal herbs for Concubine Wang."

"As for those Western medicines, they must be diagnosed by both the doctor and the imperial physician and approved by the imperial physician before they can be used by Eighteenth Brother."

Zhang Xi bowed his body and replied, "Yes, I will go right away."

Yinreng: "Wait!"

"Please tell Concubine Wang that I don't want anyone else to know about the medicine I gave her tonight."

Zhang Xi asked cautiously, "What about His Majesty?"

Yinreng said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Khan Ama has important matters to attend to. I don't want to disturb him with such a small matter."

"Zhang Xi, do you understand?!"

Feeling the gaze falling on him, Zhang Xi immediately responded, "Yes."

Yinreng nodded and said, "Well, go down."

"Once this matter is settled, you can go down and rest."

"As long as I have Wang Shun here, it will be fine."

Zhang Xi: "Yes."

Lying back on the bed, Yinreng was no longer sleepy.

He opened his inverted triangular eyes, which were unique to the Aisin-Gioro clan, and flashed a sharp cold light in the darkness.

Thinking about Khan Ama's frequent tests these days, his deliberate display of favor towards him in front of his other brothers, and his praise in front of Mongolian princes, Yinreng felt a deep sense of powerlessness, irritability and anger in his heart.

It feels like there is a boiling and roaring volcano in my heart, which has been suppressed and cannot be released, waiting for an opportunity to erupt.

[My son has already made this move.]

[Khan Ama, let your son see how you will deal with him this time, okay?]

The next day, Yinyu heard his mother talk about what happened last night, and knew that if it were not for the generous gift of medicine from his second brother, the Crown Prince, his younger brother Yinzhi would be in danger of his life.

So when Concubine Wang asked her eldest son to go and thank the Crown Prince in person, Yinyu directly brought his other younger brother, Sixteenth Yinlu, to the Crown Prince's tent to personally thank his second brother.

Yinreng was aware of their arrival.

Concubine Wang has been favored by Khan Ama for so many years, gave birth to three princes safely, and raised them to adulthood. She is not a fool who becomes arrogant when she succeeds.

So he asked Wang Shun to invite his two younger brothers in.

The first thing the two of them did when they saw the prince was to bow to him.

"My younger brother has met the second prince."

"My younger brother has met the second prince."

Yinreng nodded lightly.

"Yinyu, Yinlu, get up."

"We are all brothers, no need to be polite."

Yinyu said respectfully, "There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects. I dare not be disrespectful."

Yinreng smiled and asked Wang Shun to serve tea to the two princes.

"In the past, you would take Seventeen and Eighteen out to race horses at this time."

"Why did you come here today?"

Yinyu said with gratitude, "My younger brother heard Mother mention the danger that Eighteenth Brother faced yesterday. I knew that the Crown Prince Second Brother did not want anyone to know about it, so I brought Yinlu here to thank the Crown Prince Second Brother in person."

"My younger brother and I will always remember the great kindness and generosity of the Crown Prince."

"If the Crown Prince has any instructions in the future, just tell us three brothers."

Yinreng asked, "Is this what Consort Wang meant?"

Yinyou nodded.

"This is what Mother wants, and it's also what the three of us brothers want."

As he said this, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and placed it in front of the prince.

Yinlu also nodded seriously.

Yinreng nodded indifferently at the surrender of Wang Shufei's family.

"Row."

"I know about this."

"But Eighteen's body hasn't fully recovered yet, so we can't be careless."

"Have the imperial physician stay by his side these days. If there are not enough herbs, have someone come to me to get them."

Yinyu said gratefully, "Thank you, second brother."

Yinreng put down the teacup in his hand and waved his hand.

"Eighteen is still sick now, I think you are worried."

"Go back if you have nothing else to do."

Yinyu and Yinlu responded in unison, "Yes."

"Then my brothers will go back first."

Yinreng: “Yeah.”
