Zong Qiongyao's beautiful jade is flawless

In fact, even if Qianlong was not close to the queen mother, he was indeed very filial as a son.Before falling out with the queen mother, please be safe for three days and serve meals for five days, which can be an example of filial sons in the world.I have to say that Qianlong did a good job of saving face, even if he fell out now, his food and clothing expenses for the Queen Mother have never been short, but he seldom went to ask for peace under the excuse of busy work, and even if he asked for peace, he would never ask for peace. To say more, it is unambiguous to play Tai Chi with the Queen Mother.

Yongzheng was in power for 13 years, but he filled the national treasury to the brim, and Qianlong never fought with his brothers, so it may be because his own Ama paved the road for him before. , Spending money is that extravagant.It can be seen from the fact that he used gold to build a golden pagoda just to enshrine the hair that his mother-in-law combed.

But now with Yong Xin by his side, it's completely different.As long as Yongzhen thinks that in the late Qianlong period, Qianlong's extravagance and waste will lead to an empty treasury, and then Jiaqing will have to raid Heshen's house to fill the treasury, he will itch with hatred.Yong Xing had his eye on that position from the very beginning, and he regarded Daqing as his own in his heart. How can his own stuff fail, and he must manage it well!Therefore, Yongzheng started to buy properties many years ago to increase income and reduce expenditure. Since he expressed his intentions with Qianlong, Yongzheng has been ruthless in controlling him.Save all the money in the treasury for me!

So this time the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday was not held in a big way. Qianlong waved his hand: "Two years ago, Tibet returned to Xinjiang, and now the national treasury is tight. Everything is kept simple." Before her sixtieth birthday.

The Empress Dowager, who had always loved luxury, secretly resented, complaining that Qianlong really didn't care about the mother-child relationship, so she lost face.It is very rare to live to be seventy in ancient times, and it is already a very good thing to live to be seventy in this era, but this seventieth birthday is so unsatisfactory.

But no matter how simple it is, the luxury of the royal banquet is still incomparable. Everything is carefully arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the prince and princess Fujin ordered his wife to kneel down and kowtow three times in front of the Queen Mother according to the rules, but the Queen Mother herself did not satisfy.

It has been more than half a month since Yongqi came out of the beekeeping alley, and finally appeared in front of people at this time. I heard that when he came out, he was so thin that he was almost out of shape. Now I saw him, and it was like this. Even if there was more than half a month of recuperation, Yong Qi is still very thin, with sunken eye sockets and black eye circles, she looks a little gloomy.Only when facing the queen mother can he barely show a smile.That's right, now he is completely out of power, no one in the court will be optimistic about a prince who has been imprisoned and rejected by the emperor, if he really wants to do something, he must have a backer, and the only one who can help him is the queen mother , it is natural to be careful to please.

The Empress Dowager's expression was indifferent, but she said a few more words when she saw Yong Xing and Yong Qi, so she didn't know what her plan was.Others also thought that the Empress Dowager was not feeling well. After all, she had been recuperating in the Old Summer Palace, and she might still be weak. After all, she was already getting old.

Shufangzhai was turned into a theater after no one lived in it, and the most famous theater troupe in the capital was invited to perform, as well as juggling performances, song and dance performances, and everyone watched with great interest.The main event was at night, after the banquet, there was a firework show. All the fireworks were arranged by Yongzhang according to the convenience given by Yongzheng. He invited a famous firework master in Jiangnan to make them. The fireworks and silver flowers released were very beautiful.

"Bang!" The fireworks rose again, and a rain of flowers bloomed.Everyone looked up again.At this time, under the illumination of the fireworks, a figure suddenly flashed in the middle of the rockery in the distance.Yong Qi immediately became alert and shouted: "Who is it?" Everyone was startled.The empress dowager turned pale with fright, and everyone at the scene was shocked.

Yongzheng stepped in front of Qianlong, Qianlong's eyes flashed fiercely, and he grabbed Yongzheng and pulled him behind him.

Noticing the flash of resentment in Yong Qi's eyes, she hurriedly shouted: "Come on! Come on! There are assassins! Protect the emperor! Protect Lafayette, protect the queen, ladies, elder brothers and princesses! Come on! ..." Immediately, the masters and guards swarmed in, and at the same time, the guards chased after the shadow.

It seems that the assassin fled after being discovered, but he was afraid that there would be more than one assassin.Qianlong ordered all the officials to order their wives to go home and wait for the summons at any time, but the queen mother was frightened, and just in case, it was safer to gather everything together, so Qianlong took the queen and all the princes and princesses to protect the queen mother Let's go to the Compassion Palace to wait for the news.

A guard lowered his head and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the assassin fled all the way and entered Yuqing Palace."

The Empress Dowager thought deeply and said: "The Ai family thinks it's not good! Where is Yuqing Palace? Everyone understands the significance of it. Yuqing Palace has always been known as a small labyrinth with complicated terrain. Anyone who is not familiar with it will get lost. That assassin must have Haven't escaped! Yuqing Palace now lives with Yongzheng, what if an assassin hides, what will Yongzheng and her Fujin do? Now it's best to send someone to put them under the bed, in the cabinet, on the roof beams, in short, any possible Check all places where Tibetans live! Make sure everything is safe!"

Qianlong thought about it and what the Empress Dowager said made sense, it was indeed unsafe to have assassins in Yuqing Palace, what if there were assassins lurking?It was better to ask someone to conduct a carpet search before reassuring him.

Qianlong ordered loudly: "Come here! Hurry up and thoroughly inspect Yuqing Palace! Don't let go of any corner!"

"Zha!" The guard held a knife and responded loudly, after saluting, he left the Palace of Compassion and Ning to deliver orders to the Palace of Yuqing.

As we all know, Prince Yu is the emperor's favorite prince. There are assassins hidden in the Yuqing Palace where he lives. No one dares to be sloppy. Every room is carefully inspected. Do not let go of any place where people can hide.Just this search turned up a big problem.

A small guard came to the head of the guard in charge with a small package, and whispered something to him quietly. Not daring to be self-absorbed, he hurriedly took the package and went to the Compassion Palace.

Qianlong looked at the guards kneeling below with an unpredictable expression: "You said that weird things were found in Yuqing Palace? Where's the assassin? What I want you to find is the assassin!"

The queen mother lowered her eyes and couldn't see what she was thinking, but when she raised her eyes, she had a kind look: "Don't worry, your majesty, these guards are also dedicated to their duties, and there will be no mistakes. Perhaps the assassin has really Lucky escaped. It's just that Aijia is curious, what kind of weird thing did he find in Yuqing Palace, which can scare a royal guard like this."

Indeed, the guard knelt down with a pale face and cold sweat, but it wasn't that he was frightened.With trembling hands, he held up the parcel in his hands, Nanny Gui came down and picked up the parcel with a wink, and presented it to the Queen Mother and Qianlong for review.

The queen mother picked up the package and opened it. Inside was a wooden box about eight inches long. The box itself was nothing special, and at most it could hold some small things. The circle is tightly wrapped and airtight, and a piece of yellow talisman paper is pasted on it, with twisted symbols written on it.

Originally, Qianlong didn't care about it, but when he saw the box, he was shocked. He already had a bad premonition.Sure enough, the spell was torn off, the layers of red rope were cut with scissors, and the box was opened, only a small doll inside.

The doll is just made of simple white brocade, no different from the dolls played by little girls in ordinary people's homes, except that a line of words is written in bright red cinnabar from top to bottom on the back of the doll: "Xin Mao Geng Wu Ding Si Bing Chen ".The doll is also covered with fine needles, and the silver light is shining under the candlelight, which only makes people feel cool in the heart.

Qianlong's pupils shrank sharply, and just as he was about to speak, the Empress Dowager slapped the table and shouted: "How dare you! How dare you use witchcraft in the palace to murder the emperor! Come on!" Hey! Immediately arrest everyone in Yuqing Palace, whether they are masters or slaves, to the Ai family!"

Witchcraft!What is witchcraft?This thing kills people without seeing blood. Since ancient times, people who have been cursed by witchcraft have never been fine, but those who practice witchcraft, or those who are accused of performing witchcraft, will have a tragic ending in the end. Every time a voodoo technique appears, there will be corpses everywhere in the end.The most famous incidents are Liu Ju, the Li Prince during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Yinfeng, the abolished Prince during the Shengzu period.

What does it mean that Yuqing Palace has found a witchcraft doll now?Prince Yu Yongzhen is now the invisible prince that everyone almost defaults to. He is involved in witchcraft.

"Empress! Empress Empress!" The Empress didn't come up in one breath and passed out. Fortunately, Qibuchen, Qina Yierha and Galudai who were standing beside her caught her neatly.

Of course, the Queen Mother would not let go of the opportunity to suppress Yongzheng, and began to issue orders unceremoniously, directly blocking the order Qianlong wanted to issue: "Your Majesty, don't say anything, this time you have to listen to Aijia, Aijia Will this mother-in-law of the family harm you? The Ai family also knows that you dote on Twelve, but the matter of witchcraft is very important, it is related to your safety and the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Twelve and the people in Yuqing Palace will be locked up in the clan's mansion for a while until the facts are found out. Twelve can get rid of his grievances as soon as possible, and this is for Twelve's good, isn't it?"

"I know, but this matter... Yongxin..." Damn it, of course he believes that Yongxin did not do this.If Yongzheng wants to kill him, the timing of his strikes is unusual. Yongzheng is also a master of Xinglin, and he has many medicines that can kill people without being discovered. technique.But now Wu Gu discovered in Yuqing Palace that Yongzhen is the most motivated person, everyone knows that Yongzhen is the heir he values ​​training, so naturally some people think that Yongzhen wants to force the palace for the throne.Even if he believed in Yongzhen again, his words were unfounded. Witch Gu is not something he can hide if he wants to hide it now. What the queen mother said now is reasonable but points everything to Yongzhen. Those who fall into trouble don't know how to count, but it will be even more detrimental to Yongzheng. If someone takes the opportunity to assassinate Yongzheng, they can frame Yongzheng and commit suicide in fear of crime... Now we can only do it slowly!

"Emperor Niang, I don't need to say much. I believe in Yongzheng, but witchcraft has always been a disaster for the palace, so we must thoroughly investigate it! Yongzheng is involved in it, so it's not easy to intervene. Let's stay in Yuqing Palace in the near future, Qinayi Erha and Galudai also seldom move around. The queen is not in good health and stays in Kunning Palace to recuperate." Wait a while and let the blood drop in my hand and the dark guard and Yongxi's sticky stick be dispatched together, and I must Find out the person who framed Yongxin!Let me know who it is, and I will definitely make his life worse than death!

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your kindness!" Yongzheng thanked Qianlong pretending to be pale.Others may think that Qianlong pretended to trust him on the surface, but secretly put him and the queen mother under house arrest, but how could he not know that this was the best protection for him now? He could clearly see the worry in Qianlong's eyes, before turning around He gave Qianlong a fleeting smile, and then went back to Yuqing Palace with Qina Yierha and Galudai surrounded by guards.
