The lights in the study were on brightly. The footsteps of Thirteen and Fourteen gradually faded away, leaving the room in silence.

Kangxi sat at his desk, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Yinzhen and asked in a deep voice: "Yinzhen, how did you and Yinqi go on this trip?"

Yinzhen stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Father, we arrived at our destination smoothly as planned. Although we encountered some obstacles during the operation, we finally completed the mission successfully. Moreover, we also captured several people alive."

Kangxi's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this. He nodded slightly and praised: "Not bad, Yinzhen, you and Yinqi performed very well this time."

Then, his expression became serious again, and he said solemnly to Yinzhen and the others: "These survivors are extremely important. You must interrogate them carefully and try to get more information from them."

Yinzhen and Yinqi immediately accepted the order. They knew the importance of these survivors to the whole situation, so they answered in unison: "Don't worry, father. We will interrogate them carefully and will not miss any clues."

Kangxi nodded to show his satisfaction. Through the half-open window, he glimpsed the gradually darkening night outside. He gently put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Yinzhen and Yinqi, and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It's getting late, let's end today's affairs here." Kangxi's voice was gentle but firm. "Yinzhen, Yinqi, you go back and rest first. If there is anything else, we will discuss it tomorrow."

Yinzhen and Yinqi responded in unison. They knew that Kangxi was very busy and must be exhausted. So they bowed respectfully to Kangxi and slowly left the study.

Walking out of the study, the fresh night breeze blew towards him, taking away some of his fatigue. Yinzhen looked at Yinqi, with a trace of concern in his eyes: "You have been busy all day today, you must have a good rest when you go back."

Yinqi nodded. He understood Yinzhen's concern, and at the same time, he was also worried about Yinzhen's family: "Fourth brother, you too, go back soon. Yiya and Honghui must be waiting eagerly at home."

Yinzhen smiled slightly, his heart also filled with longing for his family: "I know, I will go back soon. You should also leave quickly, don't keep your family waiting for too long."

The two smiled at each other, and the fatigue in their hearts seemed to be relieved a little at this moment. They knew that although they were in the palace, the warmth and support of their families would always be their most solid backing. So, they turned around and walked towards their own mansions.

……

The night was falling, the stars were twinkling, and the lights in the mansion were still bright. Deep in the mansion, Yi Ya was sitting on a soft couch in the room, while Bai Zhi carefully changed the medicine on her wound. Although Bai Zhi's technique was skillful and gentle, Yi Ya's eyes were always filled with a hint of worry.

"Baizhi, is there any news from Honghui?" Yi Ya couldn't help but ask softly, her voice revealing deep worry.

Bai Zhi looked up at Yi Ya, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Fu Jin, I haven't received any news yet. But don't worry, Huijun will do its best to find the master."

While the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Su Peisheng's voice: "Fujin, I have an urgent matter to report."

Bai Zhi immediately stood up upon hearing the voice and ushered Su Peisheng into the house. After Su Peisheng entered the house, he first bowed to Yi Ya, and then a look of joy appeared on his face: "Good luck to you, Fu Jin. You don't have to worry too much. I have already found little Prince Honghui."

When Yi Ya heard this, the worry on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by full of joy: "Really? Where is Honghui now?"

Su Peisheng replied: "The young prince is in Kangxi's study now, and he will be back soon."

Yi Ya finally felt relieved. She quickly told Bai Zhi, "Bai Zhi, go prepare some food. When Hong Hui comes back, he must be hungry."

Bai Zhi also smiled happily after hearing this, and quickly responded, "Yes, Madam." After that, she turned around happily to prepare.

Su Peisheng saw that his message had been delivered and was ready to leave. He bowed to Yi Ya again and turned around to leave.

When he reached the door, he looked back at Yi Ya and said, "Fujin, you should have a good rest first. When the young prince comes back, everyone will be happy."

Yi Ya smiled and nodded, watching Su Peisheng leave. The room returned to silence, but Yi Ya's heart was filled with anticipation and joy. She knew that soon, she would be able to see her son whom she had been thinking about day and night.

On this quiet night, Bai Zhi was holding a lantern and preparing to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Yi Ya.

Just as she stepped out of the room, a familiar voice was heard: "Ms. Baizhi, please wait a moment." Baizhi turned her head and saw Su Peisheng walking out of the darkness with a gentle smile on his face.

Bai Zhi was slightly stunned, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Eunuch Su, what do you want?"

Su Peisheng walked a few steps closer and said softly, "I see that my master has been busy all day today and I'm afraid he hasn't eaten much. Can you prepare more for him when you prepare supper?"

Bai Zhi immediately understood what he meant. So she nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Eunuch Su, I will definitely prepare more delicious food for you."

Seeing this, Su Peisheng nodded with satisfaction, a pleased smile on his face: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Baizhi."

Bai Zhi waved her hand and said with a smile, "No way, this is what I should do." Holding the lantern, she turned and walked towards the kitchen, secretly thinking about what delicious midnight snack to prepare for Yin Yinzhen.

Looking at Bai Zhi's receding back, Su Peisheng smiled slightly, then turned and left.
