Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Thinking of the Emperor who is in much better health than himself.

Maska said regretfully: "Alas~"

"I'm afraid our Fucha family probably doesn't have that kind of luck anymore."

Ma Qi also understood that what his elder brother said made sense.

Because of the niece, the Fucha family has a close relationship with the prince.

Moreover, his daughter is now the Thirteenth Concubine, and the Thirteenth Prince is a blatant member of the prince's party.

If the prince fails to ascend the throne in the future, even if the Fucha family is not implicated, they will probably have to remain silent for many years to avoid attracting the attention of the new emperor.

But then he seemed to think of something and said to Maska, "Brother, don't worry so much for now."

"Let's first see what arrangements the prince has made."

"Since the Crown Prince has clearly understood the situation he is in, he should take action."

"Although our Crown Prince's methods may not be as sophisticated as His Majesty's, he is undoubtedly the best among all the other princes."

Maska smiled knowingly: "What you said makes sense."

"Then let's see what the prince has to say."

Ma Qi nodded.

Although there is no final result yet on whether the crown prince will be deposed.

But because of these two major events, under the order of Kangxi, he returned to the capital at full speed.

The prince was under surveillance by order of the emperor, so he was temporarily imprisoned in the clan house after returning to Beijing.

Wanyu already knew about Yinreng's situation because her two uncles sent her a letter in time.

So she was caught off guard by the sudden news, but she had no time to feel sad.

Before the imperial carriage returned to Beijing, she had made arrangements for her four children in advance.

Hongxi and Hongye were temporarily asked by the fourth son Yinzhen to help take care of them.

As for Fulguochun and Fuling'a, she had already agreed with the Empress Dowager that after the Emperor and his men returned to Beijing, she would temporarily keep her two daughters in Ningshou Palace and ask the Empress Dowager to take care of them for a while.

She wanted to stay with Yinreng and help him through this difficult time.

However, unexpectedly, after returning to Beijing, her request to go to the clan house to accompany Yinreng was rejected by Kangxi.

It's almost October and the weather in Beijing is getting colder.

Wanyu was worried that Yinreng would be neglected in the clan house, so she had no choice but to prepare a lot of thick clothes and bedding and asked the people from Yuqing Palace to send them to the clan house.

And bring your own message.

Yinreng, who was temporarily detained in the clan house, touched the soft bedding on the bed, and his originally depressed heart now felt warm.

He murmured, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu'er. I'll be fine."

Thinking about his wife and children who were still waiting for him outside, Yinreng knew that he could not be depressed and had to prepare to take action.

At the same time, he was also thinking about his future.

He now has a wife and a child, so he can't be completely careless. He still has to prepare a way out for his wife and children.

Originally, he thought that he would be dutiful and low-key in this life. He thought that although Khan Ama was suspicious and wary of him, he would never be as miserable as Concubine Mu's experience in her previous life, where she was not only deposed and reinstated twice, but also ended up being imprisoned for life.

But he only tried lightly, and he lifted the veil of the so-called father-son love, revealing the cruel truth of the father and son.

Now Khan Ama has become so wary of me that he wants to depose me from the position of crown prince. As his suspicion deepens, this idea will become stronger and stronger.

So Yinreng had to plan for the last step.

It doesn't matter if he can't become the crown prince or the next emperor, but he can't let his wife and children end up being imprisoned for life!

Yinreng sighed softly.

"Zhang Xi, bring the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Zhang Xi saw that his master had been in a daze for a long time, and finally came to his senses at this time, and his heart was relieved a lot.

When he heard that his master wanted pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he quickly took them out and placed them on his master's desk, then obediently walked to the side to grind ink for his master.

Yinreng picked up the brush and wrote the letter in a very eloquent manner.

Finally, he put the letter into the envelope and instructed Zhang Xi.

"Tell the guards to deliver a letter to the Thirteenth Prince's residence, asking him to come to the clan residence tomorrow. I want to see him."

Zhang Xi's heart tightened.

He murmured, "Yes."

Although the prince is now detained by the emperor's own order, he is still the prince at this time, and it is well known that the emperor loves and values ​​the prince the most.

Therefore, the people in the clan office did not dare to neglect this ancestor at all.

Now Yinreng and Zhang Xi were just locked up in a small courtyard and deprived of their freedom. The rest of their material life was not much different from usual.

Knowing that the Crown Prince wanted to see the Thirteenth Prince, the guard at the door immediately went to pass on the news.

The next day, Yinxiang came to the clan house in a hurry to see his second brother, the prince.

Not only him, but Yinzhen also came.

Yinreng looked at the anxious Fourth Brother and said with a smile, "Why is the Fourth Brother here too?"

Yinzhen frowned and asked with concern: "Second brother, how are you doing in there?"

"No one is giving you any trouble, right? If you need anything, be sure to tell your brother and he will make it up to you right away."

"And your younger brother will speak for you to Khan Ama. Khan Ama has always loved you and will release you soon."

Yinreng shook his head.

"Old Four, please don't interfere in my affairs for the time being."

"I have already made arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry about me."

Yinzhen: "But..."

Yinreng: "Don't say but."

"Don't you still believe in me?"

"But I do have something to trouble you with."

Yinzhen quickly said, "Brother, just speak up. I will do my duty!"

Yinreng raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "It's not a big deal."

"Your second sister-in-law is in the harem, I am not worried."

"But Feng Sheng'e is getting older, and Hongye is also a mischievous person."

"I'm worried that they might become impulsive and act rashly, so I'd like you to take better care of them these days."

"Let them focus on their studies. I will personally observe them after I go out in a few days."

"Especially Feng Sheng'e. Your second sister-in-law and I have already started to select a suitable wife for him. He should be more stable."

Yinzhen nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, second brother."

"My brother will take good care of his two nephews."

"As for my two nieces, although my second sister-in-law has sent them to the Imperial Madam, my brother will also instruct his wife and concubine to come to the palace more often to look after them."

Yinreng nodded, "With your words, my second brother can rest assured."

Then he looked at Zhang Xi who was waiting on the side. After receiving his signal, Zhang Xi took out an envelope from his arms.

Yinreng took the envelope and handed it to Yinxiang.

"This is a letter I wrote to my great uncle. Please, Thirteenth Brother, arrange for someone to go to Shengjing."

Yinxiang looked conflicted and said with some disapproval.

"Second brother, Khan Ama doesn't like Soetu anymore. He even hates Soetu, and he has implicated you. It's not wise for you to contact Soetu now."

Yinreng smiled.

"nothing."

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Seeing that his second brother was so confident in what he said, Yinxiang had no choice but to agree to his request.

Then he asked again: "Second brother, now that we have returned to the capital, shouldn't we explain everything to Khan Ama?"

"Many people in the previous dynasty are already making moves to push Khan Ama to abolish your position as crown prince."

Yinreng looked at them.

"You two don't need to worry about Khan Ama's attitude towards the deposed crown prince these days. Pay more attention to those who support the deposed crown prince in the court."

"It would be better to find out which faction they belong to?"

"Although the one I'm most at odds with right now is the boss, I can't rule out the possibility that there are people trying to take advantage of the situation."

"Your first priority now is to find out who those people are."
