Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The lights in the front yard were dim, and Yinzhen and the Fifth Prince finally met at the end of the chaos. Their eyes met, both of them carrying a heavy feeling.

Yinzhen spoke first, his voice slightly tired: "Fifth brother, how is your situation?"

The Fifth Prince took a deep breath and replied, "It has been completely pacified. Except for a few stubborn resisters, they have been executed on the spot. The rest have surrendered."

He paused for a moment and glanced behind Yinzhen, but he didn't see Honghui. His expression immediately became serious, "Fourth brother, where is Honghui? Why don't I see him?"

Yinzhen was filled with disappointment when he heard this. He thought of Honghui's innocent smile and Yiya's anxious waiting, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

He shook his head slowly, his voice choking a little: "We haven't found Honghui yet."

When the Fifth Prince heard this, his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. Honghui was his nephew, a child he had held in his arms and loved, but now he was nowhere to be found.

He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger, and he wanted to kill those thieves who dared to kidnap Honghui immediately. But reason quickly calmed him down, and he knew that this was not the time to act impulsively.

He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, turned to look at Yinzhen, and asked, "Fourth brother, what should we do now?"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Honghui is my son, I must find him. We must search the entire manor again, leaving no corner untouched."

The Fifth Prince nodded in agreement. He knew Yinzhen's mood at the moment and understood the importance of Honghui to Yinzhen.

He took a deep breath and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will do my best to help you find Honghui."

The two looked at each other, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that at this moment they were not fighting alone, but brothers standing shoulder to shoulder and back to back.

Just when the two were feeling extremely anxious, bursts of joyful shouts were heard from afar.

"Fourth brother! Fifth brother!"

"Father! Fifth Uncle!" The voice was clear and loud, like the dawn breaking the silence of the night.

The two men looked up quickly and saw two young figures approaching quickly, one of them holding a young figure tightly in his hand. They were the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes, and the child between them was the Honghui they had been looking for.

Seeing that Honghui was safe and sound, bright smiles instantly broke out on Yinzhen and the Fifth Prince's faces, and all their anxiety and worries disappeared.

When the three approached, Yinzhen's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes with a sharp gaze, and said with a bit of reproach in his tone: "Why are you two little guys here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"

The Thirteenth Prince was a little flustered by Yinzhen's stern gaze. He swallowed and quickly explained, "Fourth Brother, this was all my idea. I was worried about Honghui's safety, so I followed him secretly. I know I was wrong, please don't blame us."

Although Yinzhen was a little angry, his anger faded when he saw the two men risking their lives to save Honghui. He sighed and said in a slower tone, "It's fine this time, but it won't happen again. Your courage is commendable, but your actions are too reckless."

At this time, the Fourteenth Prince excitedly interrupted, "Fourth Brother, we are really powerful! We went to the backyard and found a secret passage, and then we found Honghui through the secret passage!"

As the Fourteenth Prince spoke, he described with gesticulations how they discovered the secret passage, how they quietly approached the kidnappers, and how they outsmarted Honghui.

His narration was so vivid and interesting that the Fifth Prince beside him couldn't help laughing, and he kept praising the two for their intelligence and bravery.

Yinzhen listened to the 14th prince's story and smiled approvingly. He nodded and affirmed the performance of the two young men.

But then he said seriously: "I can let you guys off the hook for following me secretly this time, but I will tell the emperor about it. When the time comes, you can go and apologize to the emperor yourself."

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes nodded obediently upon hearing this. They knew that their behavior this time was indeed a bit rash, but when they thought about being able to rescue Honghui, their hearts were filled with pride and joy.

So, under the cover of night, the five of them quietly returned to the palace. The 13th and 14th princes followed behind Yinzhen and the 5th prince, keeping their heads down and saying nothing, but silently praying in their hearts for Kangxi's understanding and forgiveness.
