Yinzhi walked lightly and moved closer to the door, wanting to hear more clearly.

"Because of an actor, Baocheng and I have become estranged. He has destroyed our father-son relationship and made Baocheng idle away from his work. He deserves death."

Soon Yinzhi heard the voice of Eunuch Sandezi.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Crown Prince was just confused for a moment. He will surely come to his senses in time. I have seen how much the Crown Prince admires Your Majesty. Your Majesty will never be dissatisfied with Your Majesty just because of an actor."

"Don't speak for him anymore. Don't I know what he is thinking right now?"

Emperor Kangxi's voice became deeper.

"I will definitely kill this actor."

Seeing that he could not persuade him, San Dezi could only follow the words of Emperor Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, your love is deep and your criticism is severe. His Highness will understand your painstaking efforts."

Yinzhi didn't know what trouble Yinreng had caused for this opera actor to anger Emperor Kangxi so much, but he knew that he didn't have to go to provide disaster relief.

Yinreng was extremely foolish. He had clearly worked hard to accomplish a feat, but because of an actor, he ended up in such a mess with the Emperor.

There are so many beautiful men and women in this world. Once you become the emperor, you can favor whoever you want. It is just a matter of saying a word. Who would dare to interfere at that time?

Just like him, although he was thinking about the concubine of the fourth master, when women became a burden to him, he would put away his heart that admired beauty.

Hearing that Eunuch Sandezi was about to come out, he quickly stepped back a long way.

When Eunuch Sandezi came out, he saw Yinzhi as if he had just rushed in from outside.

Yinzhi greeted Sandezi, then went in and talked to Emperor Kangxi about some trivial matters before leaving.

Returning to the mansion, he quickly summoned his men to discuss the matter.

Nalan Mingzhu said: "Prince, even if you heard that the Emperor was dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should still take over the disaster relief work. If you do it well, it will be a great achievement."

Yinzhi said calmly: "Disaster relief is a battle against nature. There are too many variables involved. How do you know whether this will be a credit to me or a fault?"

When Nalan Mingzhu heard Yinzhi say this, he stopped trying to persuade him.

"The Emperor is dissatisfied with Yinreng. We can make good use of this matter." On the way back, Yinzhi already had a vague idea in his mind.

Last year, Soetu rode a horse beyond the rules and was reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi.

Yinzhi still remembers this incident.

"Last year, when Yinreng was ill in Dezhou, the emperor asked Suo'etu to attend to him. Suo'etu did not dismount until he reached the middle gate, which made the emperor very angry."

"Before, the emperor wanted to make a move on Soetu, it should have been a long time. Soetu and Yinreng have always had a close relationship. It may be a good idea for us to work hard on Soetu."

Nalan Mingzhu said: "We can make good use of this matter, but we can't do it ourselves."

"This matter is of great importance. We cannot just pick someone and report him."

Yinzhi and Nalan Mingzhu looked at each other and said in unison: "Gao Shiqi!"

Gao Shiqi was a talent recommended to Emperor Kangxi by Nalan Mingzhu and was deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi.

Although he was very close to Soetu at the beginning, Soetu only treated him as a slave.

Gao Shiqi lost his father when he was young, his wife when he was middle-aged, and his son when he was old. Although he was loved by Emperor Kangxi, he was very sad in his heart.

But Suo Etu would curse him and insult his parents and wife at every turn.

Later, he secretly took refuge with Nalan Mingzhu.

However, Nalan Mingzhu was impeached by Soetu and dismissed from his post, and he was never reused by Emperor Kangxi again. However, Gao Shiqi became Yinzhi's man through Nalan Mingzhu.

On the surface, he was Soetu's man, but in fact he was Soetu's enemy.

If he were asked to expose Soetu, he would probably be willing to do so.

Of course, Nalan Mingzhu also had selfish motives in recommending Gao Shiqi. Gao Shiqi also contributed to his defeat to Soetu.

Now, what's wrong with letting Gao Shiqi return these things to Soetu?

Moreover, Gao Shiqi has been in poor health in the past two years, and he always feels that he is going to die.

Being able to bite Soetu before death was a worthy death.

Nalan Mingzhu quickly invited Gao Shiqi.

After listening to Yinzhi's request, Gao Shiqi expressed his willingness to do this.

The Zhijun Prince's party quickly confirmed this matter and were just waiting for the right moment to bring Yinreng down.

Nowadays, more and more people come and go in the Heshun Teahouse opened by Wang Jiajinghua, and more news is heard every day.

She keenly noticed that there seemed to be more and more disaster victims in Beijing, all coming from Shandong.

Spring did not bring hope to these people, but instead brought them more despair.

My grandmother was from Shandong. When she heard the news, she was so worried that she lost her appetite and fell ill.

Jinghua quickly invited Wen Xumo to come over. Wen Xumo examined her and said, "The old lady is old and weak, and after hearing such bad news, she became sick with worry. She can only be taken care of slowly."

Jinghua sighed, and Chang Hai also sighed.

"Dad, I want to do something for the people of Shandong."

When Chang Hai was young, he traveled to more places and had seen places where disasters had occurred.

"Hungry people grind elm bark to make flour, shred willow bark to make porridge, eat grass in the house, and feast on piled-up corpses. The worst of all is when a major epidemic breaks out, shutting down nine out of ten households."

With a serious expression, he recounted the scene he had seen.

Jinghua thought that what had happened to her family was already very miserable.

She didn't expect that this world is so difficult and there are so many people who are suffering more than her.

"What the people lack most now is food. The relief grain distributed by the court may not actually reach the victims. The officials in charge of disaster relief are exploiting them at every level. The relief grain is just a drop in the bucket for the victims. Now it is not enough."

Jinghua thought for a moment and said, "I want to donate some money and ask my cousin to do it."

Chang Hai no longer expected his daughter to get married. When she wanted to run the Heshun Tea House well, he supported her and said, "Yixiu, why bother mobilizing so many troops for such a small amount of money? If you want to do it, do it on a big scale."

Jinghua looked at Chang Hai hesitantly, "What does Daddy mean?"

"Raise money and get all the officials and wealthy families in the capital to take action."

Jinghua smiled bitterly, "Dad, you think too highly of me. The shopkeepers in Beijing would be fine if they didn't bully a woman like me who runs a teahouse, but how could they listen to me?"

Chang Hai said: "You should talk to Yixiu about this matter. If the Fourth Prince can accomplish this, it will be a great honor in front of the emperor. He may be willing to do it."

Jinghua nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to send a letter to my cousin right away."
