Later, Yinhu tried to go in and have a look at Yinxiang. He was such a handsome young man with a bright future, but he fell to such a state.Yinhu knew most of this matter, but he didn't know how to talk to persuade him, so he could only comfort him as much as possible and said: "Don't worry, Wei Yong is also imprisoned at the moment, but his father Wei Dongting is with the emperor. Ama has extraordinary affection, and Huang Ama will never make it too difficult for him."

Yinxiang smiled slightly when he heard the words, there was no trace of lightness on his face, even this smile was filled with a deep bitter taste, he only heard him whisper: "I am tired of him."

"The crown prince did it on purpose. It's no fault of you."

Unexpectedly, Yinxiang shook his head and sighed: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, I entrusted someone to engrave the words about the coral. I thought it was the love I grew up with when I was a child. Such a friendship, but... after all, I am too optimistic about people and things."

Yinhu's heart sank when he heard the words, "Who did you entrust to?"

The vines are silent, so quiet, because after Yinxiang was grounded, most of the servants in the mansion were also cut off. If the mansion is peaceful and happy today, it is better to say that it is as silent as a dead thing. Can make people feel out of breath.

Yinhu saw that the expression in his eyes was completely lost, he seemed a little bit sad, a little bit resentful, and said in a low voice: "It's fourteen."

Yinhu's heart suddenly understood, he could hardly believe it, and said in shock: "Fourteen? You said it was Fourteen who told the prince about this? He...how could it be?"

Yinxiang could only smile wryly, with a bitter smile, "mynah, my fourth brother has been wary of him all these years, but now it seems right. He has a deep scheming mind, and he will do anything to achieve his goal. I grew up with him , I didn’t expect him to treat me like this in the end. Starling, you are kind-hearted, even though you know that fourth brother is at odds with him, you still don’t want to treat him too coldly, but you should understand now, right? This is the best example! It's just that Fu Ruo has suffered, and now I can't even get a single message from him..."

Seeing his expression of self-pity, Yinhu quickly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, no matter whether he is good or not, I will definitely come to you from time to time to let you know. You won't stay here for too long, You believe in starling, no matter how difficult it is, your fourth brother and I will rescue you as soon as possible."

Yinxiang lowered his head and said nothing, just stared at the pavilions and pavilions in the distance, Yinhu followed his gaze, but found that it was Zhuxizhai.It seemed that Yinzhen had mentioned to himself once before that the courtyard where Wei Yong lived was called Zhuxizhai.

Nie Yuan... really a Nie Yuan.

Yinhu secretly thought that Yinxiang shouldn't help causing a catastrophe, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.Why talk about Yinxiang?How could he himself be in it? For Yinxiang and Wei Yong's shocking relationship, although Yinhu loves this younger brother who has always been well-behaved and sensible, but more, it hurts others, and he really can't bear it.

He didn't want to linger on these words any longer, so he simply said casually: "Sibling and sister, are you okay?"

"After that day, she also fell ill. After all, Furuo is her younger brother. The matter between us... Even though she doesn't like it, she is very worried about Furuo." Yinxiang's voice became deeper and deeper, as if In Youyou lamented, "She is an excellent woman. She knew about this a long time ago, but she kept it a secret for us. Now that she is involved, she has to suffer as well. I really can't help her."

This kind of obstinate tolerance, maintaining the unethical love between her husband and younger brother, I'm afraid it may not be for the sake of my younger brother, right?Then Yinhu suddenly understood what Wei Jia was thinking, but it's a pity that Yinxiang's heart and eyes are all about Wei Yong now, so it's hard to think about it.Yinhu let out a long sigh, thinking of Xilin Jueluo Shi, the two women also missed their lives because of love, how many people were delayed by the wrong payment of infatuation?

After Yinhu returned to the mansion, he told Lu Lianrong: "Go to the fourth brother's place and ask him to come over, just say that I have some things to discuss with him." After Lu Lianrong hurriedly retreated, Yinhu remembered something again , went straight to Huining's room.

"Has Dong Zhu brought it back? Is it still in the palace?"

Hui Ning was lowering his head and doing the needlework in his hands. When he saw Yinhu coming in, he quickly got up and said, "Er Niang said that she wanted to stay with her for a few more days, but she only said that there are children in front of her, and people feel much better. I'm thinking of picking her up in two days, do you miss the child? Why don't I go to the palace tomorrow to pick her up."

Yinhu waved his hands when he heard the words: "That's not necessary, but I think that in two days it will be her mother-in-law's taboo. Although she is young now, she should go to kowtow and talk to her mother-in-law son."

After hearing this, Hui Ning sighed, put down the half-embroidered purse in his hand, and said softly: "My sister has been away for nearly two years, but now I still feel that she is in the mansion. In the past, I When doing these embroidery jobs, she always stood by my side to help me choose the color of the thread and color, but now, she can no longer."

Yinhu was very sad when she heard her tone, fearing that she would cry and hurt her body, she quickly explained: "Isn't there still Dongzhu? Now we have both sons and daughters, which is already a great blessing. How many people can't wait for it? Although Baozhu left early, it's the same if you take good care of Dongzhu."

Hui Ning wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, nodded and said: "Yes, Dong Zhu is really a sensible and caring child. I had a cough that day. Although she is not very sensible, she also knows how to treat lightly." Caress my back lightly. She doesn't like to cry or make troubles, but she always snuggles into my arms with round eyes, no wonder everyone loves her when they see her."

Thinking of her daughter's soft and lovely appearance, Yinhu couldn't help but smiled and said: "Our children are always very obedient, don't you think Tian'er was also very obedient when she was young?"

After the two chatted for a while, they heard Lu Lianrong announce from outside, "Master, Fourth Master is here."

Yinhu told Huining a few more words not to be too tired, lifted the curtain and went out and asked casually, "Is fourth brother in the study?"

There was a trace of embarrassment on Lu Lianrong's round and honest face, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "Si Ye met Mr. Jin when he first entered the mansion, and now the two of them are probably talking together."

Yinzhen talking to Jin Nan?This is really a rare event, Yinhu's curiosity aroused, and he said to Lu Lianrong with a smile: "Lead the way, let me have a look."

"Oh? According to what Mr. Jin said, what is a good gentleman?"

"Since you are the lord of the world, you should work hard to govern, revitalize the country, and seek the well-being of the people. This is a virtuous king."

Yinzhen sneered, "What I said seems to be too general."

Jin Nan shook his head with a smile, "It's not general. To strive for governance, you must be conscientious. To revitalize the country, you must be diligent and thrifty. To seek the well-being of the people, you must do everything yourself, and love the people like your own son. If you want to do the above, it seems simple, but in reality Difficult."

"In your opinion, who is worthy of such a great job now?"

"Jin Nan is a grassroots person, how dare he talk about government affairs?"

"This king thinks that Mr. Jin has said enough."

"The grassland people are terrified."

As soon as Yinhu stepped into the courtyard of the front hall, he heard the two people refusing to give in to each other. Although their tone was polite, the strong smell of gunpowder that could not be dissipated was actually Even Lu Lianrong could smell it.

Seeing this, Yinhu hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "The fourth brother is here. If you want to discuss with Mr. Jin, why don't you sit down and order someone to watch tea? Why bother standing here?"

Before Xu Zhen could speak, Jin Nan who was at the side said, "No, Caomin was about to go out to meet a friend. He happened to meet Prince Yong. The prince was smart and quick-witted. Caomin couldn't argue with him, so he had no choice but to bow down." Clasping his hands, he went out the door.

Yinzhen said angrily: "Look at his arrogant appearance! Do you really think he is Zhuangzi or Tao Yuanming?"

Yinhu Nahan, "Why did you get so angry? What did you say?"

"It's nothing, he made things difficult everywhere when he came up, and what he said was full of yin and yang." Yinzhen snorted coldly, obviously angry, "If you ask him to say that, no one will be the emperor! With such a vision, it is impossible I don't know where such a tone came from!" "I just listened to a few words, but Mr. Jin didn't mean what you said..."

Yinzhen was immediately displeased when he heard this, and asked with a gloomy face, "Could it be that I planted the blame on him?"

"...Of course not."

"Looking like a cotton bag, there is no strength at all, and I don't know what you think about him, so you can't let him go."

"Mr. Jin's face is a little more handsome, but he is indeed talented and learned. You can always gain something by cooking tea and talking with him. Besides, isn't it because of my hand, why can't you let it go?"

At that time, the two had already entered the study room, and Yinzhen snorted unconvincedly when he heard this, then glanced over and asked, "A handsome face? Is it as handsome as I am?"

Yinhu had just taken a sip of a cup of tea at this time, before he could swallow it, he heard Yinzhen's sour words thrown over him, and he couldn't hold back for a while, choking it out, coughing again and again: "You... Cough cough, listen to yourself...cough cough, listen to...cough cough...what is this called?"

"Why are you so careless, you can choke on drinking water?" Yinzhen hurried over and patted him on the back, and the awkwardness just now disappeared, and said carefully, "Just drink slowly, Do you agree with your fight?"

When Yinhu heard that the instigator blamed himself at this moment, he couldn't help laughing, so he stopped talking to him about it.The conversation turned and brought up the business of calling him over today, "I'll go to Yinxiang's place to have a look at him today."

Yinzhen was startled, and then asked: "How is he now? I've been thinking of going to see him these two days."

"not good."

Seeing his unkind expression, Yinzhen shook his head lightly and said, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "Not good? What is not good?"

Yinhu sighed softly, wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief on the side, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing more sad than death in the human cloud. Now Yinxiang has lost his ambition, lost his mind, and lived in despair. Do you think this is good?"

"I know that Huang Ama's punishment came too suddenly, but he doesn't have to be like this..."

"Fourth brother." Yinhu interrupted his words, staring closely at his eyes and said, "Although you released someone from Shisi's house, you still failed to stop this from happening. Yinxiang just said Tell me, he entrusted Fourteen to take care of the coral matter."

Yinzhen was startled immediately, and asked without hesitation, "Fourteen colluded with the crown prince?"

"I don't know, it's just that this matter is really strange. Since the restoration of the crown prince, his power has not been as good as before. How can he know such trivial details in Yinxiang's mansion? On the contrary, the fourteenth and the thirteenth have always been close until something happened. It was only later that I found out that the fault actually happened to him."

"Impossible, if he met the prince privately, how could no one report it?"

Yinhu let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "He doesn't need to go out to meet the prince, he just needs to settle the matter with the craftsman. Now that the matter has come out, seeing that Huang Ama has no intention of sending The meaning of Yinxiang's release, besides that Wei Yong... I'm afraid he's in danger."

Yinzhen's expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "You mean Huang Ama is going to kill him?"

"Yinxiang has made many mistakes. After all, he is Huang Ama's direct son. He has been so favored in recent years. No matter how angry Huang Ama is, he is just imprisoning him. But Wei Yong... Huang How can Ama let it go so easily?"

"If Thirteen finds out..."

Yinhu seemed to be extremely tired, so he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, "Let's take one step at a time, there is no other way at the moment. I only know now that I was really wrong..."

Yinzhen couldn't bear to see him suffer, so he stretched out his hand to hug him gently and said, "It's not your fault, he is vicious and unscrupulous, what has it to do with you?"

"You told me many times at that time, you should be more careful with him, and I have argued with you many times, but now...he actually did such a treacherous thing..."

As Yinhu was talking, he couldn't help but think of the incident when Yinzhen was still young and cursed Yinzhen with evil words, and his heart felt even colder.He always felt that since this younger brother is willing to get close to him, he might as well put aside the entanglements of the previous life. He can even feel relieved about Yinzhen, so why bother about Yinzhen?But as soon as this incident happened, he knew that Yinzhen and them had drifted away, and there was no way out.

The spring day passed away so quickly, and the hot summer seemed to be just around the corner.The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and Kangxi has been in a depressed mood since Shisan was imprisoned, and the Queen Mother's health is getting worse, so he wants to take advantage of this festival to have a good time and get rid of bad luck.

It's just that Yinhu didn't expect that at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, he would meet someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

Wei Dongting.

He looked much older than in previous years, his temples were gray, and his figure became thinner. The grounding of a son and a daughter must have given him a great blow.After he saw Yinhu, he hurriedly bowed his hands to say hello, Yinhu only felt that his eyes were full of despair, and he was a little more sad than Yinxiang.Yinhu couldn't help sighing, this man was no longer the vigorous and proud minister who always accompanied the king, and he was no longer the radiant Wei Dongting.

"Hello, Master Wei, when did Master Wei come to the capital?"

"I just arrived the day before yesterday. The emperor ordered my ministers to come to Beijing to inquire about some official affairs. It happened to coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival, so I kindly ordered my ministers to attend the meeting together."

Yinhu nodded when he heard the words, and said in a gentle tone: "Did Mr. Wei go to Thirteenth Brother? Huang Ama is angry for a while now. After a while, it will be fine. Don't worry too much, sir. .”

After Wei Dongting heard this, a very bitter and decadent smile overflowed from the corners of his lips, he shook his head slightly and said: "At that time, the Holy Admiral appointed Ajun to be married to the Thirteenth Master, and I knew that her life would be difficult in the future. Hai, the royal nobleman, seems to have great fortune, but once he loses, it is a matter of life and death. I heard that Ajun said that Ba Ye often went to visit and took good care of me. Thank you."

Yinhu knew that the 'Ajun' he was talking about was Wei Jia's boudoir name, and seeing that he was about to bow, Yinhu hurriedly helped him up, "My lord, don't be too polite, my thirteenth brother is me. My dear brother, it is my duty to visit in the past. Mr. Ling...can you go, my lord?"

"Never."

Yinhu was very surprised, "Why?"

Wei Dongting shook his head and smiled wryly, "If the emperor forbids it, what can I do? Now I don't dare to ask for anything else, I just hope that he can save his life."

"Your Excellency, don't say such things. Maybe after two days, Huang Ama's anger will disappear, and he will naturally calm down and let the past go."

"Every day, good or bad, everyone lives in peace. Thank you Ba Ye for your enlightenment. It's just that although I'm stupid, I still have some self-knowledge in this matter."

Seeing that there was something wrong with his eyes, Yinhu seemed to be determined, so he couldn't help but worry: "My lord..."

Wei Dongting nodded slightly, the cold smile on his lips was fleeting, "Thank you again, Ba Ye."

Seeing him like this, Yinhu didn't want to say anything more. As soon as Yinhu turned his head after the two of them said goodbye, he saw Yinzhen standing in front of him and staring at him fixedly. When he saw him, he came forward to say hello Said: "Myna, hello."

"The fourteenth brother is the best, but I can't afford to be your starling."

Yinzhen's complexion changed suddenly, and he smiled dryly: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand."

Yinhu looked at him meaningfully for a while, then slowly said: "Fourteenth brother, people's hearts are made of flesh, as the saying goes, people are doing what the sky is watching. Are you not afraid of retribution for doing such a thing?"

Yinzhen's face was already pale, and he forced a little smile and said: "Brother, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Fourteen, you like to cling to me when you pee, and I always think you are a good person. But now, how did you become like this? Power is really that important to you? It allows you to disregard siblings Love, hurt Yinxiang to such an extent?" Yinhu's voice became colder, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "I really misjudged you."

"Mynah, listen to me, it's not this kind of mynah!"

Yinhu threw away his outstretched arm, and said coldly: "There is no need to say more, if we disagree with each other, we will not conspire with each other, so don't come to me again in the future."

"Brother! In your heart, am I inferior to him in every way? You said that I was vicious and merciless against Brother Thirteen, but let me tell you, that person will never be softer than me! He will only be softer than me. Ten times harder, a hundred times harder!"

"Enough!" Yinhu sternly reprimanded, his expression unprecedentedly stern, he said slowly word by word, "Fourteen, you said such vicious words when you were young, and you have not changed your mind for so many years .I'm really disappointed in you."

After Yinhu entered the banquet, Yinzhen asked him with concern, "Why have you been outside for so long? Who are you talking to?"

Yinhu thought about what happened just now, and what he said was just to annoy him, so he shook his head and said, "It's just that I met Master Wei just now, so I said a few more words."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, "Has he visited Thirteenth Brother and the others?"

"I've seen it, but...it's Wei Yong's side, Huang Ama is not allowed to see it."

"No? Huang Ama, this is..."

Yinhu let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "It's really hard to say, if something happens to him, don't let Thirteenth Brother know...Thirteenth Brother is now relying on this matter." Hanging my spirits, if something happens to Wei Yong, I'm afraid that the thirteenth brother..."

Yinzhen immediately understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The meal was boring, Yinhu saw Yinzhen's eyes cast on him frequently during the meal, but he just ignored it.The Empress Dowager went back to her bedroom early to rest, and after a while Kangxi also said that she was tired, but she didn't let the prince accompany her, but said to Wei Dongting: "Dongting, let's go back with me."

The imperial garden was so silent at night, Wei Dongting walked cautiously behind Kangxi, only to hear Kangxi asking in front of him: "Dongting, when was the last time we were in this imperial garden together?"

Wei Dongting answered with his head bowed, "It's been 27 years since I returned to the emperor."

Kangxi nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and seemed to be quite emotional, "You and I are both old."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can there be such a thing as old age? A mediocre minister, an ordinary person, will naturally grow old."

Kangxi couldn't help but look back at him when he heard that, seeing his appearance, he was indeed old...

After arriving at the bedroom, the servants helped Kangxi change his pajamas, but Kangxi didn't speak, and Wei Dongting didn't want to leave.It wasn't until Kangxi sent everyone away that he said to Wei Dongting: "Dongting, do you remember that when we were young, we were tired of practicing martial arts together and often slept together. Today you stay and talk to me Speak."

Wei Dongting lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but his voice was gloomy and soft, "How can this be done? I don't dare."

"There is nothing to dare, this is an imperial decree, can you resist the decree?"

Wei Dongting couldn't help raising his head when he heard the words, Kangxi is also old, and the years have not treated him particularly favorably just because he is the Ninth Five-Year Master.The scene of the two wrestling and shooting the target together seems like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, both of them are already in their twilight years.

In the end, Wei Dongting still didn't collapse, but just leaned on the low bed beside him.Kangxi said he was leaving him to talk, but Kangxi talked more, talking about the former master Buku, the exquisite dim sum made by Aunt Su Ma, the thrills of subduing Oboi, and the two Years of fun when people travel together...

Wei Dongting listened quietly at the side, unexpectedly his eyes got wet.

"Dongting, you are always different here. I don't want your son's life, but," Kangxi sighed heavily, as if there was a thousand kinds of helplessness in him, "this is a big deal. , although I am honored as the Son of Heaven, I still have a lot of helplessness. Such a thing that cannot be tolerated in the world really... can't be kept."

"Long live lord..."

"You say it."

Wei Dongting seemed to have made some decision, his tone was very solemn, he turned his head to look at Kangxi, and said slowly: "I want to ask the Lord Long Live for a favor."

"What grace?"

"Wei Chen was appreciated by the Lord Long Live in the early years, and he has always been with the holy car, and he has been deeply favored by the emperor and has taken on important responsibilities. In the past few years, he has never dared to forget it. It's just that Wei Chen has never asked the Lord Long Live for anything in these many years... ..."

Kangxi half-closed his eyes, nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know." He suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hands, and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Dongting? Are you crying?"

Kangxi opened his eyes, and what he saw was that Wei Dongting's face had lost all color, and the blood from his mouth couldn't stop gushing out. Kangxi was shocked and shouted loudly: "Dongting! Imperial doctor! Liang Jiugong is quick!" Go and send the doctor!"

"There's no need... I just want to ask the emperor...to use my body...in exchange for my son's life...I implore the emperor...en...permit..."

Wei Dongting's whole body trembled unconsciously because of the severe pain, he reached out and grabbed Kangxi's bright yellow clothes with all his strength, as if this was his only reliance.He whispered in a hoarse voice: "Please, Your Majesty...grace..."

"Have you prepared for it? You took the poison early, right?"

Wei Dongting's face was bloodless, his fingertips were cold, he smiled slightly, and said softly: "These many years... the emperor... treats... treats my minister... not thin... this minister's life ...It's worth living..."

Kangxi took a deep breath, gently held his weak palm with trembling hands, and said in a low voice: "You are so stupid..."

When Liang Jiugong hurriedly brought the imperial physician to come, what he saw was Kangxi sitting beside him in a daze, looking up and seeing Liang Jiugong, Kangxi shook his head slowly, and said in a low voice: "Get back... "

On the Duanyang night in the 44th year of Kangxi, Wei Dongting slept with the emperor. He died suddenly of night asthma at the age of 47.Kangxi was so sad that he ordered a generous burial.
