After news about Concubine Chun spread, people in the palace were terrified.

Although the pure concubine is not dead, what is the good thing about confinement in Jingren Palace? Eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for a lifetime is different from becoming a nun.

When the queen heard about this, she couldn't help sighing in a low voice, "She's lucky."

Liu Mama can naturally hear who the queen is talking about, except for Concubine Xian, who can trouble the queen so much, she disagrees and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay for slaves to look at Concubine Xian, it's just as good as it is, this time it's just It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."

"Oh, where are there so many blind cats in the world?" The queen let out a self-deprecating sneer from her throat, and she fiddled with the prayer beads on her wrist, "Chunfei asked someone to change the bow, no one knows about it, even this palace She was kept in the dark. She was lucky to catch up and stop it in time."

When she said this, she paused, and said again: "Nowadays, everyone in the palace is saying that Brother Seven is blessed, otherwise, how could Concubine Xian appear so timely?"

"It's nothing." Nanny Liu said anxiously, "Who would believe such gossip?"

Long Live Lord will believe it, the Queen's face showed a look of hesitation, she sighed in her heart, and said to Liu Mama: "Forget it, nothing, now that Concubine Chun is making such a big fuss, Concubine Xian wants to come and deal with Seven Brother will also pay more attention to it, let's not make a move first, so as not to lose the wife and lose the army."

"Yes." Nanny Liu agreed unwillingly.

The Queen said: "We don't have to think too much, Yongrui and Yongcong are still young now, even if Lord Long Live intends to make Yongrui the crown prince, but Yongrui is only a few years old now, and the day when he really becomes the crown prince will not be long. There was no chance of winning a round.”

"Your Majesty is very right." After Liu Mama thought about it, she also made the same reason, so she didn't mention this matter any more.

Over the next year or so, the palace experienced rare peace.

But Gu Qianqian knew that the queen would not let go of the opportunity to attack Yongrui and her.

As Yongrui got older, the queen would see them as thorns in her eyes and thorns in her flesh.

In November of the 12th year of Qianlong, at the beginning of this month, a piece of news that was not good for Gu Qianqian came from the court. Fucha Fu Heng was transferred back to the capital, and was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department.From entering the court in the fifth year of Qianlong to the 12th year of Qianlong, he became a first-rank official.

When Gu Qianqian heard the news, she couldn't help being surprised.

"Have you really found out?" She turned her head to Xiao Zhuzi and asked.

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Fucha is going to take office today." Xiao Zhuzi replied with a very decisive tone. If he didn't confirm it clearly, he wouldn't dare to tell their mothers.

"He's really capable." Even if it was an enemy or an opponent, Gu Qianqian couldn't help but praise Fucha Fu Heng's ability. You must know that Qianlong's affection for the queen has almost dissipated, and the rest is only respect. In this case, Fucha Fu Heng's promotion depends entirely on his own ability.

"After all, it is also from the Fucha family." Ning Gui said softly with a smile, and dropped a son in his hand, "The Fucha family has been officials for generations, and Master Fucha is the mainstay of this generation. , Naturally rise faster than others."

Gu Qianqian didn't take it seriously, she looked at Ning Guiren's move on the chessboard, and said: "That's because he is really capable and can help him up. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that he will be able to point out everything, and he may not be promising."

Ning Guiren looked at Gu Qianqian in surprise, as if she was a little surprised that Gu Qianqian would say good things about Fucha Fu Heng. Gu Qianqian smiled with a smile on her lips, "Why? Is it unusual for me to say such a thing?"

"That's not true." There was a smile on Ning Guiren's lips, "This servant just thought that the empress should dislike Lord Fucha very much."

"I don't like it, but discrediting an opponent is not a good thing." Gu Qianqian leisurely picked up a pawn and dropped it calmly, "If you underestimate the enemy, then you will be the one who pays the price."

Ning Guiren had a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment.

Yikun Palace was rarely lively.

Before going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take up his post, Fucha Fu Heng pleaded with Qianlong and wanted to come to Yikun Palace to see the queen first.

He hasn't seen his sister for nearly two years, and he misses her very much. Shanxi is far away from the capital, and even if it takes ten days and a half months to deliver a letter to the capital, plus he has just arrived in Shanxi, even if he is the queen's younger brother, He had to lie down when he went to other places. In order to deal with the affairs in Shanxi, Fucha Fu Heng didn't have a good day off for a whole year. He couldn't even return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year.

"Thin." The queen looked at Fu Cha Fu Heng with red eyes, and she reached out to touch Fu Cha Fu Heng's face, "Is that place in Shanxi very bitter?"

"It's not bitter, it's just that I'm tired." Fu Heng said with a smile, "I don't think I'm thin, but my sister looks haggard a lot, but isn't she mentally ill?"

"This kind of disease can't be easily cured." The queen said helplessly. It's not that she didn't plan to cure her body. Even if she hated Concubine Xian and Seventh Brother, the queen knew that it was not worth it to spoil her body for them.But knowing it is one thing, and doing it is another.For more than a year, seeing the favored Concubine Xian who should have been knocked out of the dust, and listening to Qianlong's words of praise for Yongrui, the Queen's heart was pierced.

In this case, even if Bian Que was reborn, he would not be able to help her.

Therefore, the queen's heart disease is good and bad.

"Sister, it's that woman!" Fucha Fu Heng's eyes showed resentment. He always had a face like a crown of jade and a gentleman's demeanor, but when he got angry, it was really scary.

The queen didn't speak, but apparently acquiesced.

Fu Heng sneered, "I knew that woman was definitely not a good thing. When I was in Shanxi, I heard that Concubine Chun was imprisoned because of her."

"Let's not mention her for now." It's a rare reunion of siblings, and the queen didn't want to talk about these unhappy things. She said to Fu Heng: "You haven't come back for two years, Yong Cong has grown up a lot, and he often asks Think of your uncle."

Speaking of nephew, Fu Heng showed a smile on his face, and he thoughtfully followed the Queen's words and changed the topic.

After talking with the queen in Yikun Palace for a long time, Fu Cha Fu Heng came out of Yikun Palace. He checked the time, and it was already late. It was three o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time to go to the household department.

Fu Heng just took a few steps, and he looked at the scenery on both sides aimlessly while walking. The Forbidden City didn't seem to have changed much, just like the day he left.

Walking around the corner, Fu Heng just looked away when he ran into Gu Qianqian who was walking towards him.

Neither of them expected to meet each other at this time, and for a while, their pace slowed down.

But since they met head-on, there was no reason to pretend not to see them.

Gu Qianqian first smiled and said, "Master Fu Heng."

"The servant has seen the imperial concubine and empress." Fu Cha Fu Heng said with a smirk, he bowed to Gu Qianqian with his fists in his arms, even if he was a first-rank minister, he also had to salute and greet the imperial concubine when he saw the imperial concubine.

"Master Fu Heng, you don't need to be too polite." Gu Qianqian smiled, "I just heard that you have returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect to see you in a blink of an eye. It can be seen that there is really a fate."

"The servant just came out of Yikun Palace." Fucha Fu Heng said with a cold expression.

The implication is that this place is not big, and it is normal and not unusual to meet them.

Gu Qianqian didn't care about his cold face, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I am also going to find the empress, so I don't want to chat with you, Mr. Fu Heng, so I will leave first."

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly at Fucha Fu Heng, raised her head and led the people to Yikun Palace.

The eunuchs and maids following behind also followed suit one after another.

Fucha Fu Heng stood sideways on the side of the palace road, lowered his head, his long and narrow eyes were filled with darkness, and his slender fingers tapped the side of his leg lightly.

After Gu Qianqian left, Song Ji'an said in a low voice: "In the past two years, the imperial concubine has really become more and more difficult for people to look directly at."

No matter in terms of appearance or momentum, today's Concubine Xian is no longer the concubine Xian who was bullied by others but unable to resist. Now, no one in the palace knows that Concubine Xian is more powerful and favored than the Queen.

A dark light flashed in Fu Heng's eyes, he glanced at Song Ji'an, and said, "Today, after the internal affairs are over, come to Fucha Mansion to look for me."

"Yes." Song Ji'an agreed.

Even though he hadn't seen Fucha Fu Heng for a year or two, Song Ji'an was still loyal to him. In the past two years, his life in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not bad. This was actually somewhat beyond Song Ji'an's expectations. From his point of view, his backer Mr. Fucha had left, and the queen was too busy to take care of him. He had no time to take care of him. His situation should be very difficult, not to mention that Fucha Fuheng and Tong Jia Wumu were deadly enemies.If he were Tong Jia Wumu, he would definitely cut grass and roots mercilessly.

But Tong Jia Wumu didn't do that.

Not only did he not, he even treated him the same way Fucha Fu Heng did in the House of Internal Affairs before.

This is very strange.

The rules in the palace are strict, and it is difficult for a maid to go out of the palace, but for the eunuchs, especially the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, going out of the palace is just a matter of slips.

Before the key was released in the palace, Song Ji'an left the palace and went directly to Fucha Mansion.

In the study room, the candles were brightly lit, and Fucha Fu Heng asked Song Ji'an to tell him all the major events that happened in the palace in the past two years from beginning to end.

He was in Shanxi, even if he wanted to pay attention to the situation in the palace, he could only know a little about it. Sometimes when he knew the result, it would have been several months.

Song Ji'an was also a capable person, and he explained the situation clearly to him from the beginning to the end without even frowning.

The more he heard this, Fucha Fu Heng frowned deeper.

So many things happened before and after, but Concubine Xian and Brother Qi have always been able to take care of themselves. Even in the management of the harem, Concubine Xian has never made any mistakes. It seems that it is more difficult to deal with Concubine Xian now than before.

Seeing Fucha Fu Heng's frown tightly, Song Ji'an was also deeply moved.

A few years ago, who would have thought that even the Queen and the Fucha Mansion would not be able to deal with Concubine Xian.

"My lord, I don't know if I should say something." Song Ji'an said anxiously. He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, but his tone was clear and audible hesitation.

"Just tell me what you want, after so many years with me, why have you become less courageous?" Fucha Fu Heng rarely joked.

Song Ji'an sneered, isn't the situation different?What's more, people are subject to change. I heard that when Mr. Fucha was the governor of Shanxi, he arrested many corrupt officials. His methods were so cruel and decisive that even the cruel officials looked sideways at him. Song Ji'an didn't dare to annoy Fucha and Fu Heng.Seeing what he said, he was a little relieved, "I want to ask my lord, if you inquire about these things, do you want to deal with the imperial concubine and the seventh elder brother?"

Fucha Fu Heng was silent for a moment, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Xian has become a threat now, if they don't get rid of their mother and child, how can the queen stand?"

Even the power of the palace fell into the hands of Concubine Xian, who was even more beautiful than the Queen.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with you dealing with Concubine Xian, but I just think that you should think about this matter carefully, plan carefully, and act rashly. It is not good for you or the empress." Song Ji'an persuaded him sincerely.

Fucha Fu Heng squinted his eyes and looked at Song Ji'an. His eyes were deep, like a deep well, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking.

"To this point?"

Song Ji'an nodded slightly, and smiled wryly: "In the past two years, the nails in the Changchun Palace have been pulled out, and the slave wanted to put people in again, but not long after he arrived in the Changchun Palace, he was sent to the slave's room, saying yes Be an apprentice to the slaves, so that the slaves can teach them well."

Even after many days, Song Ji'an still felt his scalp tingle when he recalled seeing the eyeliner that was sent out in his room.

Fucha Fu Heng closed his eyes. He felt more and more difficult. He originally thought that he was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department to help his sister regain the palace power. Dealing with Concubine Xian was just a matter of words. Now it seems that he really Underestimated the situation in the Forbidden City.

"I see. I'll take care of this matter. How has that old man Tong Jia Wumu been doing in the past two years?" Fu Heng asked.

……

Half a month after returning to Beijing, Fu Heng became more and more aware of how much the capital has changed in the past two years.

Both inside and outside the palace influence each other, which is unavoidable. Even though the ancestor emperor had said long ago that the harem should not interfere in politics, the boundaries of this rule are not clear.

Because Concubine Xian is favored, the children of the Ulanara family have inevitably received some benefits in the past two years. Among them, her Ama and several elder brothers have been favored the most, especially the youngest elder brother Ronglu. Leading the minister of the bodyguard, this position is equivalent to the head of the bodyguard in the palace, and it is generally not possible for anyone who is not Qianlong's confidant.

Taking up such an official position at Ronglu's age shows how much Qianlong used him.

After Fu Heng learned about these situations, he quietly canceled the original plan, and he decided to plot slowly.

Even if it was a tiger, it would still take a nap, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find the flaws of Concubine Xian and Ulanara's family.

However, there is a saying that people are not as good as heaven.

Before Fucha and Fu Heng made a move, something happened to Yikun Palace.

At the beginning of December, the eighth elder brother Yong Cong suddenly developed a high fever, which persisted.

That morning, Gu Qianqian and others paid their respects to the Empress Dowager at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but seeing that the Empress had not arrived for a long time, everyone couldn't help showing surprise and astonishment on their faces.

Over the years, the queen has never made such mistakes.

Please Ann's being late can be big or small, if it is bigger, it is disrespectful to the empress dowager, disobedient and disobedient, even the queen will suffer a lot if such a hat is put down these days.

With the empress's meticulous and cautious style of acting, she doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.

"Why hasn't the empress come here today?" Ning Gui asked softly, sweeping her eyes.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

This is true, no one knows the situation, so rashly explaining for the queen, maybe it is thankless.

The Empress Dowager's face was very ugly, but at this moment, Nanny Liu appeared in time.

As soon as Madam Liu came in, she knelt down in the hall, "Your maidservant pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

"Mother Liu," the queen mother asked with a sullen face, "what happened to the queen?"

After all, she still gave the queen some face, and didn't directly reprimand her.

Madam Liu showed a bitter look on her face, "The empress is fine, it's the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother has a fever, and the empress was frightened. She was just asking for the imperial doctor, but she forgot to greet you, so she sent a servant Come to apologize to you."

Knowing that there was a reason for the incident, the Empress Dowager's face softened a lot, but she quickly frowned again, "Why did the eighth brother get hot?"

"This servant doesn't know either." Madam Liu said, but from the corner of her eyes, she involuntarily looked at Gu Qianqian who was sitting at the top.

Gu Qianqian sneered in her heart, whatever happened to her feelings would be blamed on her.

She showed concern, and said: "Could it be that the person who took care of it was negligent? The burn is terrible?"

Grandma Liu hated her to the bone. Seeing her fake appearance, she hated her blood even more, but she still had to suppress her emotions and said, "Thank you for your concern, the imperial concubine, but this matter is still unclear, please don't worry about it." Jump to conclusions.”

Gu Qianqian nodded thoughtfully, "Nurse Liu makes sense."

The Empress Dowager watched the conversation between the two of them, and suddenly thought about it, and said: "Great Concubine Xian and Ai's family go to have a look?"

Gu Qianqian was startled, then turned her head to see the empress dowager's unrefusable expression, paused for a while and said yes with a smile.

Nanny Liu pursed her lips secretly.

She hasn't arrived at Yikun Palace yet, but just at the door, Gu Qianqian can hear the messy sounds inside, the crying of children, the footsteps of court ladies and eunuchs running back and forth, the flustered voice of the queen, all kinds of voices are mixed together, and everyone's heart follows her. Messed up.

"Emperor Physician, why hasn't the Imperial Physician come yet!" The Empress wiped the eighth elder brother Yong Cong's sweat with a handkerchief, looked at Yong Cong's flushed little face, turned her head and scolded the maids.

When she saw the Empress Dowager and Gu Qianqian walking in, her expression clearly showed hatred for an instant.

Gu Qianqian thought to herself, she really deserves to be a master and servant, and the reactions are exactly the same.

"It's not that the imperial physician was invited, why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?" the queen mother asked the palace people in a bad tone.

The palace people hurriedly explained: "I have already sent someone to invite, but I don't know why it was delayed."

This means that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the palace people just finished explaining, and several imperial doctors arrived.

Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and they wanted to salute when they saw the Queen Mother and the Empress. The Empress was so anxious at this moment that she had no time to ask them to salute, so she directly scolded: "No need to salute, quickly show the eighth elder brother."

"Yes, yes." The imperial physicians were in a panic at this time, and they subconsciously obeyed the queen's orders.

When they got to the bed and saw Eighth Prince's flushed face and pale lips, their hearts skipped a beat.
