Chapter 321 Yinzhen Likes Nian Shilan
Since he has encountered such a life-threatening danger, he naturally cannot continue. He should wait until all dangers are eliminated before going on his study tour. After all, he is going on a study tour, not risking his life.
This matter has nothing to do with the rear house.
When Rouze wanted to deal with Yixiu again, she never resorted to assassination outside.
What's more, she is now under house arrest and has no way of knowing Honghui's movements.
I think it is related to the previous dynasty. Yinzhen must have offended someone in the court, which made the other party want to do such a cruel thing.
When Yinzhen found out, he was furious.
Honghui is his most promising successor. If he becomes the emperor in the future, Honghui will be the crown prince.
The person who did this should be killed.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyi, I will definitely give you and Honghui an explanation."
Yixiu nodded, "By the way, Zhou Ninghai has made great contributions this time, so let him follow Honghui to protect him in the future."
"And Miss Nian, she is still a young girl, but she dared to risk her life to save Honghui."
Yinzhen also quite liked this girl, Nian Shilan, who was lively, bold, bright and cheerful. "I will try to find out what the Nian family is saying someday. If they are also interested, we will arrange the marriage for the two children."

However, after interrogating the assassin, Yixiu keenly noticed that Yinzhen was in a bad mood.
In the Yongkang Pavilion, Yinzhen was sitting on the couch, and Yixiu was sitting beside him flipping through a book.
She didn't know when she started to get used to being "lazy". Anyway, she now understood clearly that as long as she was still useful to Yinzhen, Yinzhen would not care about these details, and she was happy and relaxed.
Sure enough, Yinzhen spoke to Yixiu.
He said, "After Eighth Brother was confined to his room a while ago, we spread rumors in the court, making outsiders think that Eighth Brother had lost hope of becoming the crown prince, and some people did leave gradually, but those who remain with him have become even more radical."
"Forget it..." After saying just two sentences, Yinzhen took back the words. He thought of the assassination attempt on Honghui by his eighth brother's men some days ago. He was afraid that Yixiu would still mind if he mentioned Yinsi's name to him at this time.
Just when Yinzhen was about to stop talking and pretend that he had said nothing, he didn't expect Yixiu to continue the conversation.
"Now these people are too radical, which makes sense. After all, people are greedy and will never stop trying to get rich. If they can really succeed, these people will also rise to prominence."
After pondering for a while, Yixiu came up with a new idea.
Since these people are advancing instead of retreating, they might as well take advantage of the situation.
"I have a plan, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will suffer some injustice." As soon as Yixiu said this, Yinzhen immediately became curious and asked her to tell him in detail.
"Now that my second brother is the crown prince, even if it is to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the emperor must protect the crown prince's face. If the eighth brother's people are still unwilling to let go, then we might as well create the impression that the emperor has no grudges against the eighth brother and even wants to reconsider the choice of crown prince."
"The reason why these people targeted Honghui without telling my eighth brother is probably because they can't work for my eighth brother as they did before, so they resorted to these sinister tricks. We might as well take this opportunity to divert their attention to the court."
Yinzhen immediately understood what Yixiu meant, and he looked at Yixiu in a daze.
"Is it that what I said is wrong, or does Your Majesty feel that this is detrimental to the reputation of our palace and cannot be done?"
Thinking that Yinzhen was dissatisfied with this idea, Li Xiu had already prepared other strategies to deal with it.
But then I heard Yinzhen say, "Xiaoyi, you are so nice!"
The hand that was still holding the book shook, and Yixiu almost knocked over the book and the teacup on the table.
Facing Yixiu's puzzled look, Yinzhen explained: "Eighth brother treated you like that, although it was not his intention, it still hurt Honghui. I should have considered your feelings and thought that you were frightened. I didn't expect that you were still willing to discuss these things with me."
"Xiaoyi, thank you!"
Yinzhen held Yixiu's hand and thanked her solemnly.
Yixiu smiled and said that it was what she should do.
In fact, what she really thought was, my plan not only concerns your throne, but also my position as queen and queen mother, doesn't it?
We are now on the same boat, so no one should be polite to each other.
------------------------
After discussing the morale in the Yongkang Pavilion, the two of them had a tacit understanding on the specific work, and all the execution in the court was completed by Yinzhen.
Soon changes occurred.
These days, no matter what important matter was in the court, Yinzhen would let Yinsi make his comments and praise his achievements.
Emperor Kangxi once summoned Yinzhen to ask him privately why he had been so slow these days. He was not as good as before, and his views on important matters were not as good as those of the crown prince and the eighth prince.
Yinzhen simply said that he was not in a good mood because of Honghui's matter, and took the opportunity to praise the crown prince and the eighth prince in front of Kangxi.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi felt that Yinzhen's non-competitive character was very good. Although he could not use him in recent political affairs, he had a good impression of his choice.
Soon it was time for the autumn hunt again.
As per convention, Emperor Kangxi still took the princes to Mulan Paddock.
Yinzhen looked at the vast grassland of the enclosure and recalled that many years ago when he and his brothers came here to hunt, the only thing he was worried about was that his horse riding and archery skills were not as good as others.
Although he has much respect now, it is only on par with his eighth brother and is still far behind his fourteenth brother.
Yinzhen had to admit that his fourteenth brother was indeed talented in archery and hunting.
However, he no longer has the heart to argue about these things. Instead, he feels a little proud because his fourteenth brother is his biological brother.
But according to convention, Kangxi would still test the abilities of the princes.
When the hunting began, Yinzhi won the first place without any suspense, followed by Yinli. Yinsi performed well this time and also won the third place. However, Yinzhen, because he deliberately restrained his edge, only finished in the middle level among his brothers.
Everything is pretty normal.
The prey was neatly placed in front of the princes, except for the crown prince, who only had two hares in front of him. In front of the empty field, the two rabbits looked particularly pitiful.
Kangxi frowned and asked, "Why are there only two rabbits? Where are the people following the prince?"
Yinreng stammered and was unable to reply.
"Father, it was not intentional that the Crown Prince neglected this. It was really necessary. Please do not be angry for the sake of the Crown Prince's dignity."
