Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

In a small dilapidated temple.

"Yongqi, how could you say that just now? What if they go back alive, then the emperor will punish us, right?" Fu Erkang complained angrily.

His tone made Yongqi feel uncomfortable, and he said angrily, "Under the circumstances, if I hadn't said that, how could we have led them there? Do you think just a few of us could defeat those dozens of people?"

Xiaoyanzi collapsed on the straw on the ground. She was really exhausted from escaping all the way. Why would the Emperor assign such a dangerous task to them? Didn't he love them anymore?

Hearing that Yongqi was being targeted by Erkang, she jumped up despite being tired, "Erkang, how could you say that about Yongqi? If it weren't for him, we would have been dead by now. Besides, that brat is so arrogant and domineering all day long, it's annoying to look at him. If anything happened to him, the vicious queen would probably not be able to survive either. Then the palace would be ruled by Concubine Ling..."

Seeing that her words were getting more and more outrageous, Forte quickly covered her mouth and said, "Xiaoyanzi, you can't say such things carelessly. You will lose your head."

Little Swallow bit his hand.

"Ah - Little Swallow, why are you biting me?" Forte felt pain. Little Swallow had bitten a circle of deep teeth marks on his hand.

"There's no one else around, who would hear me if I said this? And don't try to take advantage of me again. The person I like is Yongqi. If it weren't for you, how could Yongqi and I have come to this point."

Being told this in front of his brother and Yongqi, Ertai felt a little embarrassed. He grabbed Xiaoyanzi's arm and said fiercely, "Xiaoyanzi, don't forget that the emperor has promised to marry you to me. After returning to the capital, we will be married. You will be my wife. You can no longer like Yongqi."

Yongqi's emotions were complicated after being suddenly confessed to. It was undeniable that he was very happy to hear Xiaoyanzi say that she liked him.

He grabbed Ertai's arm and said coldly, "Let Xiaoyanzi go. Even if you marry her, it doesn't matter. She is a princess, a queen. You can only be humble in front of her."

"Really? Yongqi, is everything you said true? Even if I marry him, no one would dare to control me?" Although the Fu family was not as rich as Yongqi, they did not have to live in fear like they did in the palace, worrying all the time whether their heads would be split apart. That kind of life seemed pretty good.

Yongqi scratched her nose lovingly, "Yes, you are a princess, and they are just servants, serving their masters."

His casual remark immediately changed the faces of the Fu brothers. Had all these years of calling each other brothers been fake? Yongqi looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.

Fu Erkang suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "Ertai will not treat Xiaoyanzi badly. The most important thing for us now is to discuss how to face the emperor when we return."

Speaking of this, the ripples in Yongqi's heart dissipated directly. He paced back and forth impatiently. Unless Yongji and the other two were dead, the emperor would not let them go. But if they were not dead, how could they avoid the emperor's punishment?

"Just face it like this. The worst that can happen is the loss of your head or your life." Xiaoyanzi shouted, hands on her hips. "Yongqi, you are the emperor's most beloved son. He won't let you go. At most, you'll get a beating. I'm used to it."

Falcon nodded. "That's true, but just in case, we'd better disguise ourselves, get some wounds on our bodies, and look a little more embarrassed. Maybe the emperor will see us like this and just let it go."

"Erkang, this is a good idea. Let's roll on the ground a few times and then make some cuts on our bodies. This way we can hide the truth from the world." As she said this, she demonstrated it on the spot. Her clothes became dirty in an instant, and her face and hair were also stained with a lot of it.

She stood up, revealing her white teeth through her straw-studded bun. "Hurry up, don't give that little bastard a chance to go back and complain."

Falcon flung his robe and rolled on the ground. Forte saw his brother do the same.

Yongqi looked at their disheveled state; it was truly filthy. Faced with the three men's repeated urging, he gritted his teeth and resigned himself to his fate. "Alright, a man can stretch and shrink." He wanted to see if the emperor truly loved him. After rolling on the ground, he steeled himself, drew his sword, and struck himself hard on the arm.

"Yongqi, what are you doing?" Xiaoyanzi exclaimed in pain. She wanted to cover his wound with her hands, but her hands were dirty, so she carefully tore off a piece of clean cloth from her inner clothes and wanted to bandage him.

Falcon took out a bottle of wound medicine and handed it over. "Sprinkle it with wound medicine first and then bandage it. There's a lot of blood. There's so much on your clothes."

Yongqi's face turned pale and he let them treat his wounds.

"Yongqi is right. You can't fake injuries. Otherwise, if the imperial physician takes your pulse and finds no injuries, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Ertai, Xiaoyanzi, you'd better show some injuries too." He was even more cruel to himself, pulling out a dagger and stabbing it into his thigh.

Seeing how cruel the three of them were to her, Xiaoyanzi swallowed and said with an awkward smile, "Well, you three are all injured. If I get injured too, wouldn't it seem a bit fake?"

"No," Yongqi snatched the dagger from Erkang's hand, "Xiaoyanzi, it will be healed in a moment, very quickly."

Ertai stood in front of Xiaoyanzi with a grin on his face, "If Xiaoyanzi doesn't want to, forget it. She's a girl, she should hide behind us."

Xiaoyanzi found his words pleasing to her ears. She even found him more pleasing to the eye, hugging his arm with a happy smile. "Ertai, I like what you said. Your martial arts skills are superior to mine. You were both injured in the fight. Would I be so foolish as to go up and die?"

This made sense. Yongqi thought for a moment and threw away the dagger in his hand. He looked towards Jizhou City with cold eyes and said, "Let's go. We'll go back now."

Falcon kicked the dagger under the straw to hide it, then strode away, not noticing that their every move had been heard clearly by the person in the dark.

A man in a bamboo hat emerged from behind the dilapidated Buddha statue and gazed at their backs with a hint of sarcasm. It was truly amusing. Besides the fratricide, there were also cases of brother-sister love in Emperor Qianlong's palace. It seemed the Manchus' reign was about to end.

This trip was indeed a good omen. Such a secret of the imperial family was obtained without much effort, and the whereabouts of that bastard Qianlong were also known. He had to make careful arrangements. Such a good opportunity must not be wasted.
