Cannon Fodder's Struggle History

Chapter 17 Returning the Pearl 17

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qianlong was holding a lake pen in his hand, dipped in cinnabar, and was meticulously reviewing the memorial. After finishing the last stroke, he stopped writing and asked, "Wu Shulai, what time is it?"

Wu Shulai knew that what Qianlong asked was not the time, but whether the twelfth elder brother was out of class, so he understood, so he bowed and replied: "Go back to the Long Live Lord, there is still half an hour, and the twelfth elder brother should arrive at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "

"Yong Xing is learning lightness kung fu recently, and that posture is really moving like clouds and water, as graceful as a fairy." Qianlong's mind appeared in the mind of the tall and handsome figure like bamboo, his brows were stretched, and the corners of his mouth smiled and praised: "The new offering I remember a few pieces of satin that were extremely light and thin, and I took them to cut two clothes for Twelve, and Twelve must wear them gracefully and elegantly."

"Ever since Elder Brother Twelve has been with the Long Live Lord, he has acted coquettishly, and the slave looks just like the Long Live Lord." Wu Shulai immediately bowed and flattered him.He knew that the satin, because the material was rare, was only a few pieces a year, and now, he gave it all to Elder Brother Twelve.

"What you said is wrong. Twelve means that the blue is better than the blue." Qianlong understood his own intentions, so he naturally praised his sweetheart generously. In his opinion, Yongzhen's words and deeds were so in line with his wishes.

Wu Shulai bowed his head and remained silent, but he was more and more surprised in his heart. He could become Qianlong's confidant eunuch, so he naturally understood that Qianlong was the most arrogant person, but now he said that the [-]th elder brother was better than him. The weight in my heart is naturally self-evident.

"Order the small kitchen to prepare the medicinal food. Wu Shulai, you go and watch it yourself." Qianlong tapped his fingers on the desk twice before he said.

However, at this time a little eunuch begged to see him with a look of fear on his face, Wu Shulai wondered, isn't this the spy sent by Qianlong to watch those concubines?Immediately, his face became serious. Could it be that something important happened.

"What's the matter?" Qianlong frowned. Could it be that those women wanted to frame Yongzhen again?

"Go back to Long live, the imperial concubine of Yanxi Palace murdered the fourteenth elder brother." The kneeling little eunuch touched his forehead to the ground, although his voice was steady, the sweat dripping from the corner of his forehead showed his uneasiness and horror.

Qianlong raised his head in disbelief, even Wu Shulai could clearly see the surprise in his eyes.

"You tell me again? What did Lingfei do?"

"The imperial concubine ordered the maid to bring cold water and soak the fourteenth brother in the cold water. When the servant came to report, the fourteenth brother had already fallen into a coma." The little eunuch bowed deeply, and finally There was already a vibrato when a word was spoken.

Wu Shulai didn't dare to look at Qianlong's expression at this time, murdering the emperor's heir, making the concubine and empress look for death on her own.It seemed that the person who administered the medicine was definitely Concubine Ling. Unexpectedly, in order to preserve her status, Concubine Ling used Fourteenth Elder Brother as a raft.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its sons, but the concubine Ling sacrificed her son without hesitation, just to win the emperor's sympathy. beauty snake.

With a loud "bang", the huanghuali desk in front of Qianlong fell to the ground, which was particularly ear-piercing in the silent hall, but it was the ashen-faced Qianlong who kicked the desk over.

"Come here, drive Yanxi Palace!" Qianlong's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gap between his teeth, with a bone-chilling chill, Wu Shulai's face was already pale, he had not seen Emperor Qianlong so angry for a long time.

But at this time, a young eunuch from Yanxi Palace stumbled in, knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Long live, Brother Fourteen fell into a coma, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that he has no power to recover. Let the emperor decide."

It's a pity, Wu Shulai looked at the sad little eunuch, this time what was waiting for Concubine Ling was the wrath of the emperor!

When Qianlong's imperial chariot came to Yanxi Palace, the Empress Empress had already arrived. Seeing Qianlong's arrival, she felt a bit of ridicule towards Qianlong in her heart, pursed her lips, and bowed her knees to pay her respects.

At this time, a court lady came out of Lingfei's bedroom with red eyes, and when she saw Qianlong, she knelt down and said with a choked voice, "Slave servant please greet Long Live Lord."

"How is Fourteen?" Qianlong ignored the court lady and strode into the inner hall. Several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital knelt down on the ground one after another, bending down and not daring to speak.

Concubine Ling sat on the side of the bed in a daze holding her fourteenth elder brother, her originally beautiful face was unpainted, her face was facing the sky, her small hair was a little messy, and a strand of temple hair stuck to her cheek, she looked very pitiful at first The cowardly and cowardly look lost its color because of the haggard face, and there was no trace of life in the whole person, as if he had aged ten years.

Wu Shulai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw such a concubine Ling. If he hadn't known about Concubine Ling's actions in advance, this appearance was really a mother who cared about her children and was hit hard.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" The imperial physician could only kneel on the ground, but he was full of resentment towards Ling Fei in his heart. Obviously, the fourteenth elder brother has recovered a lot in the past few days, but because of Ling Fei, they have to bear the emperor's thunderous wrath .Did Concubine Ling think that they couldn't see that Elder Fourteen was obviously stimulated by the sudden cold water. "Slaves and others are helpless."

"Fourteen... Fourteen... Open your eyes and look at my mother..." Ling Fei seemed to have just woken up, and tremblingly hugged Brother Fourteen into her arms, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone. It's like snatching away, and the voice is even more terrifying.

In fact, she already knew about Qianlong's arrival. This heartbroken gesture is half real and half staged. She believes that just because of the grief of losing a child, Qianlong will definitely erase those things from her past. .

Qianlong's throat was a little dry, his eyes were red looking at Lingfei's appearance, his fisted fingers were already turning white, this woman, how dare she?How dare... Fourteen is also her son.

Concubine Ling was overjoyed when she saw Qianlong's appearance, but she didn't dare to reveal it.The fourteenth elder brother in his arms had only a little faint breath, and suddenly his body twitched twice, his eyes widened, and those eyes were like sharp arrows, firmly nailed to Ling Fei's face.

Panicked by that hollow and lifeless look, Ling Fei almost reflexively threw the child out of her hands, don't look at E Niang like this, she has no choice, she has no choice! !

Tears were dripping down Fourteen's face, and Concubine Ling felt a chill lingering in her heart that made her scalp numb.

This is not the first son who died, but for Qianlong, it was the child who died when he saw it with his own eyes. The child's unwilling eyes widened greatly, as if he was silently questioning the concubine Ling!

Turning a deaf ear to Lingfei's mournful cry, after standing still for a while, Qianlong finally stepped forward, and closed his eyes for Shisi with his broad palm. Lingfei took the opportunity to grab Qianlong's hand, with resentment and sadness: Four, open your eyes and see, your Huang Ama is here, your Huang Ama is here..."

Afterwards, weeping uncontrollably, Qianlong felt his teeth were cold, calmly withdrew his hand, and asked lightly, "Concubine Ling is very reluctant to part with fourteen?"

"Your Majesty... Fourteenth is the life of my concubine." The concubine felt even more joyful, and this joy even overwhelmed the remorse and fear of murdering Fourteenth.

"Come here, pass on my will to bury the fourteenth elder brother Yonglu in the Western Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, making the concubine Wei's mother unkind, which violates women's morality, taking her title and demoting her concubine position. After the fourteenth is buried, Surround the Wei family and the Qingxi Mausoleum, and guard the mausoleum for the [-]th." Qianlong didn't even reprimand Lingfei, but gave his order with a blank face.

He will not let Concubine Ling die so easily. He will let Concubine Ling face Fourteen's mausoleum day and night in the days to come, reminding her all the time that she murdered her son and put her Knocking off the dust made her whole life worse than death.

Ling Fei was really sluggish this time, she slumped on the side of the bed, loosened her fingers, and the fourteenth elder brother in her arms rolled down like this.Wu Shulai, who stood bowed and stood aside, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the clothes of the fourteenth elder brother, and pulled him into his arms.Touching the cold body of the fourteenth elder brother, he shivered.

The queen glanced at Qianlong in surprise, and then her clear eyes fell on Ling Fei, with disdain and contempt flashing in her eyes.

The emperor's chariot left the Palace of Yanxi Palace one after the other. On the way, he met Yongzheng who was leaving school. Qianlong stopped in a daze and waved to Yongzheng.

Yongzheng paused, and slowly got on the chariot, Qianlong took Yongzheng's hand and sat down next to him, and asked a little unnaturally: "Yongzhen is off from school, how is your light work?"

"Huang Ama..." Yongzhen already knew the news that Elder Fourteen was seriously ill, and just now saw Qianlong's expression in a trance, no longer in high spirits like before. Obviously Fourteen is really not well, thinking like this , could not help but feel a sinking heart.

Can't help holding Qianlong's hand tightly, conveying his comfort silently. For a father who lost his child, at this time, everything is just empty words.

Qianlong finally raised his hand and embraced Yongzheng's warm body, hoping that this kind of body temperature could make his cold heart feel better.Not wanting Yongxin to see his expression, he pressed Yongxin's head in his arms, and finally there was some invisible wetness in the corners of his eyes.

The queen also found out about Yongzheng. To her, the concubine Ling's matter was nothing but contempt for the concubine Ling. When she was experiencing the pain of bereavement, Qianlong was not by her side.For the Queen, the most important thing now is Yong Xin.

Originally wanted to ask Yongzheng to accompany her to the Kunning Palace for dinner, but Qianlong took a step ahead, and gave Qianlong's imperial driver a resentful look, but this look almost made her expression freeze.

Under the light veil blown by the wind, Qianlong's gentle embrace, even if you can't see the eyes, you can still feel the implied friendship from it.

Qianlong actually had such thoughts about Twelve?At that moment, the queen hoped that she was dazzled!I read it wrong!Think too much!The doubts in my heart are lingering!
