Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The next morning, before the morning light had completely dispelled the darkness of night, Yinzhen had already quietly gotten up.

He carried a heavy secret in his heart, which was the evidence he personally collected and organized under the bright lights last night, which was enough to shake the government and the public.

After washing up, facing the carefully prepared breakfast on the table, Yinzhen only moved his chopsticks a few times and then got up and left, holding the roll of crucial evidence tightly in his hand.

In the study, Emperor Kangxi was sitting at his desk, reviewing a mountain of memorials. Every stroke of his pen revealed his deep concern for the country and his unquestionable authority.

Li Dequan was quietly directing the servants to ensure that the emperor's breakfast was prepared on time and properly.

At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps broke the silence outside the study. Li Dequan looked up and saw Yinzhen walking towards him step by step with a serious expression.

"Fourth Master, so early?" Li Dequan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, while secretly guessing the purpose of Yinzhen's visit.

Yinzhen nodded slightly, his voice low and firm: "Li Dequan, what is the emperor busy with at the moment? Can I ask to see you now?"

Li Dequan saluted first and then replied softly: "The emperor is handling government affairs. If you have urgent matters, please wait for a while and let me go in to report."

Yinzhen nodded to show his understanding and stepped aside to wait. After a while, Li Dequan tiptoed into the study, came to Kangxi's side, and whispered Yinzhen's purpose.

Hearing this, Kangxi paused for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Dequan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Yinzhen? So early? What's the matter with him?"

Li Dequan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Master said that he has something important to report to you personally."

Kangxi hesitated for a moment, then ordered: "Let him in."

Li Dequan followed the order and walked quickly to Yinzhen, saying softly, "Fourth Master, the Emperor invites you in."

Yinzhen sorted out his thoughts and walked into the study. He first bowed deeply to Kangxi, greeted him, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for Kangxi's questions.

Kangxi put down the pen in his hand, and looked at Yinzhen with a gentle but dignified look: "Yinzhen, you came so early, is there something important?"

Yinzhen did not answer immediately, but slowly stretched out his hand and gently placed the evidence on Kangxi's desk. Li Dequan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and carefully placed the evidence.

Kangxi's eyes followed Yinzhen's movements and finally fell on the roll of evidence.

He asked what it was while slowly turning the pages to check. As he read deeper, Kangxi's expression gradually became solemn.

Finally, he closed the file and looked at Yinzhen with a sharp gaze: "Are all the things you investigated true?"

Yinzhen quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said firmly: "Every word of what I have checked is true. At first, I couldn't believe it, so I checked it several times and the results were consistent."

He paused, as if he was considering his words, "I know this matter is of great importance, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, let alone use this matter to fool the Emperor."

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with mixed feelings. He knew Yinzhen's loyalty and sincerity, and he knew that he would not do anything without a purpose. However, the evidence before him forced him to face a cruel reality.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination: "Okay, since you are so sure, then let's do as you say. You go and arrest and interrogate the people involved in the case one by one, and make sure to find out whether the crown prince is involved. After everything is clear, you return to the capital and arrest Suo Etu as well. I will make the decision after I return to the capital."

Yinzhen accepted the order. Although he had thousands of words in his heart, he could only turn them into a firm "yes".

He understood that this journey would be full of wind and rain, but he knew even more clearly that for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he must move forward without hesitation.
