It was late at night, and there were several rows of houses around the corner of the back garden of Qingning Palace. This was the residence of eunuchs and palace maids. At the innermost part of the corner, there was a small house. It was originally a wood-room, but now some of the places have been cleared out and two small beds are placed. This is the residence of Makata and Chenghuan.

Since it is a woodshed, it goes without saying that the quality of the house is naturally. Moreover, due to disrepair, the only window does not even have window paper, and the wind outside constantly pours into the house. Fortunately, it is autumn now, so it can be tolerated, but what makes Makata and Chenghuan the most is that there are too many mosquitoes at night, and the two of them can't fall asleep at night. They can only sleep one by one and drive the mosquitoes one by one. This way, the two of them naturally lack sleep, and they look listless with dark circles all day long.

"Bang..."

"Smack it..."

From time to time, there were crisp clapping sounds in the room. It was Makata and Chenghuan driving mosquitoes. Chenghuan's face was full of red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes. She drove the mosquitoes while shouting tears and asked Makata, "Sister, why do we live here? I don't want to live here, I want to go back to Qingning Palace to live."

While driving mosquitoes for his sister, Makata comforted him: "Chenghuan, don't worry, we will be able to return to Qingning Palace soon."

Chenghuan, who was only ten years old, couldn't help but lose his temper and twisted his little body and started to make a fuss: "I don't...I want to go back now! I'm hungry, I want to eat meat, I want to eat thousand-layer cake!"

Makata suppressed the bitterness in his heart, stroked his sister's little head and said softly: "Chenghuan beloved, it won't take long for the Emperor Ama to take us back to Qingning Palace. You can eat whatever you want."

"You lied to me!" Chenghuan shouted while kicking his legs on the bed: "It was the instruction of the Emperor Ama to come here by that vicious woman. He no longer likes us. I hate him... I want to find the Emperor's Mother!"

"Shh..."

Makata, who is already thirteen years old, is undoubtedly much more sensible than her sister. After hearing Chenghuan's words, she quickly leaned forward and covered Chenghuan's little mouth and said anxiously: "Chenghuan, don't say it anymore. If someone reports to the emperor after hearing it, we will be miserable!"

"I don't care, I just want to say it! Have you forgotten that day I called him so loudly, but he just ignored me. He no longer cared for us. Don't you let me say it?" Once a child gets angry, he doesn't care about anything. Chenghuan is like this now, and the child's unique sharp voice echoes in the room.

Seeing her sister getting angry, Makata was so scared that her face turned pale. As soon as she was talking, she heard a faint voice ringing nearby: "Chenghuan, do you really hate me so much?"

When the two sisters heard the sound, they looked back and saw Huang Taiji wearing casual clothes standing with his hands behind his back at the door, looking at the two of them quietly, with deep eyes in his eyes. Outside the door behind him, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the door, lined up in a long line.

Seeing Huang Taiji appear suddenly, whether it was Chenghuan, who was losing his temper or Makata who was comforting his sister, they all turned pale. Makata was older than Chenghuan, and he knew even more clearly how supreme status and power Huang Taiji had in the Qing Dynasty. Although he was his own emperor, he was even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Makata jumped off the bed in fear and immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "My son has seen the Emperor Ama, the Emperor Ama is auspicious!"

Huang Taiji ignored Makata, but walked around her to Chenghuan, who was still sitting on the bed, and asked slowly: "Chenghuan, do you just hate me so much?"

"Yes, I just hate you, I don't like you anymore. Who asked you to hand us over to that vicious woman to discipline me?" Chenghuan stared at Huang Taiji with tears in his eyes and tried hard to stare at Huang Taiji and said loudly: "My sister and I have endless work every day, but we haven't even eaten a full meal. We sleep in this broken house with air leaks every day. This is your fault. I don't like you anymore, I want to find my emperor mother!"

"Random!" Huang Taiji was angry. He raised his right hand and was about to hit him. But when he saw Chenghuan's red envelope bitten by a mosquito, his obviously thin body and the look that was staring at him stubbornly, a soft part in his heart seemed to be suddenly touched.

He slowly put down his right hand, turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and a buzzing sound rang in his ears, and then he felt a itch on his face, and his right hand patted his face without thinking. With the help of the dim light, he saw a few flattened mosquitoes lying in the palm of his right hand. Listening to the buzzing sounds around, Huang Taiji's face began to sink again.

Huang Taiji suddenly shouted: "Yehenara!"

"I'm here!"

As Huang Taiji's voice sounded, a woman wearing a blue and yellow robe walked over. The woman was about twenty-seven or eight years old and had a pretty melon-shaped face, but the forehead was slightly taller, and her thin lips looked a little mean.

This woman was no one else, but was ordered to discipline Chenghuan and Makata's concubine Yehenara.

Yehenara walked to Huang Taiji and turned sideways to Wanfu and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Huang Taiji pointed to the room and shouted angrily: "Yehenara, I asked you to discipline Makata and Chenghuan. Is that what you discipline them? It would be fine to let them work, but they wouldn't be full. Now they are letting them live in such a place. Do you tell me, is this where people live? The eunuchs and palace maids live are probably ten times better than here, right?"

Faced with Huang Taiji's anger, Yehenara did not speak, but just knelt down silently and lowered her head without saying anything. She knew that this was indeed something she could do. Although Huang Taiji asked her to discipline Makata and Chenghuan, she did not let her abuse the two of them. The reason why she did this was mainly because of her selfish intentions. The reason why Huang Taiji did not ask before was not because Huang Taiji didn't know, but because he turned a blind eye. Now that Huang Taiji has put this matter on the surface, it means that he has to settle the score with her.

Moreover, based on Yehenara's understanding of Huang Taiji, if she dares to argue now, Huang Taiji's punishment on her will definitely be ten times more severe than before.

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Yehenara whispered: "This matter is indeed caused by my own selfishness. I know the crime, so please punish me."

Yehenara's little thoughts could not be hidden from Huang Taiji, but he naturally would not point them out. After all, Yehenara acted according to his will, and at best he tortured two little girls with his will.

If I punish Yehenara in front of the two girls, wouldn’t I say that what I did was wrong?

After a snorting, Huang Taiji waved his hand to signal Yehenara and the eunuchs and palace maids behind him to retreat. Then he said to Makata and Chenghuan: "Do you miss your mother very much?"

Before Makata could speak, Chenghuan jumped out of the bed and hugged Huang Taiji's thighs, opened his eyes wide, and asked in surprise: "Huang Ama, is the emperor's mother back? Take us to see her quickly!"

Looking at Chenghuan, who was holding his thighs and showing a look of surprise on his face, Huang Taiji's eyes first showed a look of pity, but when he thought of their mothers, the muscles on his face immediately twitched, and the feeling of pity immediately became cold. Before he could say anything, Makata quickly came over and pulled her away, and said anxiously: "Chenghuan, don't interrupt the Emperor Ama for now, let Emperor Ama finish his words."

"oh!"

Chenghuan then reluctantly let go of Huang Taiji's thighs and looked at Huang Taiji with a gaze: "Huang Ama, tell me, Chenghuan listen."

Huang Taiji suppressed the shame and anger in his heart, and said in a pretentious manner: "Your emperor's mother is in the Ming Dynasty. She misses you very much now and sent someone to pick you up. So the emperor planned to let you follow the Ming people to meet your emperor's mother tomorrow. Are you willing?"

"The emperor's mother went to the Ming Dynasty?" Chenghuan covered her mouth and widened her eyes and looked at Huang Taiji in surprise, "Emperor, how could the emperor's mother go to the Ming Dynasty? Was she really kidnapped by the Ming people?"

"You..." Huang Taiji's face twitched a little. Although the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty knew about Zhezhe being abducted by Yang Feng, no one dared to talk about it in front of him, but now his daughter told him. Even though Huang Taiji had already been mentally prepared, he felt that his face was so hot that he couldn't hold back.

He snorted softly, "Don't worry about so many children. I'm here to inform you to prepare quickly. I plan to send you to your mother in two days. Okay, I'm leaving, you can rest first." After that, Huang Taiji turned around and left the woodshed...

That night, the two sisters Makata and Chenghuan had insomnia, and there were many people who had insomnia like them. Not only Huang Taiji and a group of Qing princes and ministers also had insomnia. They were worried about the Jiangning army outside the city and their own destiny.

Early the next morning, just as the soldiers of the Jiangning Army got up early and planned to set up a formation to attack Shengjing City again, a Qing Dynasty official came outside the camp to seek to see Yang Feng.

"You're Ning Wan me?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing a typical Qing Dynasty official uniform and with a money tree tail and a very elegant temperament, Yang Feng looked at him curiously before asking.

Ning Wan, I bowed to Yang Feng and said in a skillful Ming Dynasty Mandarin language: "I am Ning Wan, a Grand Secretary of the Hongwen Academy of the Qing Dynasty. I have met Marquis of Jiangning on the order of my emperor!"

Yang Feng asked curiously: "I heard that you were originally a Han Chinese, but you admire the Tartars. You defected to Nurhaci at a young age. Over the years, you have been giving advice for Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, and are determined to seize the territory of your ancestors for the Tartars. Is that true?"
