Scarlet Fang of the Pearl

"Your majesty... Your majesty... don't..." From the corner of the imperial garden, I saw Concubine Ling with a big belly, wiping tears and red and swollen eyes, walking quickly with the help of the maid.Seeing her wanting to speak and tearing up first, her face sad but not concealing her demeanor, I really feel pity for her.Xiao Baozi sneered when he saw Concubine Ling coming over, he stared at Qianlong's face, and seeing that Qianlong was not lost, he pouted and jumped off the chair to greet him.

But Concubine Ling was busy pleading for the Fifth Elder Brother and the others, she knelt on the ground as soon as she arrived, ignoring Little Baozi's greetings at all.Even the relatives and nobles who were kneeling on the ground also knelt on the ground and did not get up.Seeing Xiao Baozi pouting, Qianlong quickly called him up. The kid was already unhappy, but now he is even more angry!This imperial concubine is also true, there are no rules, even if people greet her, they don't know how to make people get up, this master and slave kneel on the ground, what does he look like!Qianlong asked Xiao Baozi to get up, and those relatives and nobles naturally got up too.Qianlong was dissatisfied, he didn't even look at Concubine Ling, he just pulled Xiao Baozi, pinched his little face, and pulled her to his side regardless of his unhappy appearance.It's just that now is not the time to coax people, Qianlong just sat beside Xiao Baozi and didn't let go, at this moment he seemed to see Concubine Ling, frowning, "Come on, don't help Concubine Ling up yet. "

The Queen Mother looked at Ling Fei and frowned, "Ling Fei, don't walk around when you are pregnant. If you bump into each other, this is the blood of the royal family. Don't be arrogant, you know?"

Concubine Ling frowned, her face was both shocked and sad, as if she was hurt by the Queen Mother's words, she said yes, but she looked at Qianlong with tears in her eyes.

It's a pity that the emperor's heart is biased, especially Qianlong. At this time, his mind is on Xiao Baozi, so how can he have any extra sympathy for you? !Concubine Ling looked at Qianlong's indifferent appearance with hatred, and lowered her eyelids to hide her emotions.Automatically, after the illegitimate son came, every time the emperor was with him, all his usual methods would be ineffective.

"Concubine Ling came here in such a hurry, is she here to intercede for them?" It was the empress who spoke, since the last time Xiao Shisan was pushed into the water by the fifth elder brother and that idiot swallow, the empress has always held a grudge in her heart.Not to mention that Yongqi was ordered to go to the scriptures to pray for blessings during Shisan's recovery, but they never came to apologize once.

"Your majesty, they are still children, so the children of that family can't make mistakes? Please forgive them this time for the sake of their sincere repentance! From a Ma's point of view, from a father's point of view, they are also filial piety." Your majesty!" Concubine Ling looked tearfully at the three kneeling Yongqi below, she came here in a hurry when she heard the news that Qianlong wanted to imprison Yongqi and kill the two sons of the Fu family.Originally, she didn't want to come. After all, both the queen mother and the queen are here. It is an open secret in the harem that the queen mother hates the concubine Han and even more delicate women.The concubine Ling generally behaved like the emperor and basically avoided the queen mother, and she was also well-behaved when she went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Qianlong watched Concubine Ling's performance with a blank face, and Concubine Ling felt a little guilty. As a concubine, Qianlong was also a person who valued affection. She had always been favored before, so she basically never saw Qianlong's majestic and unpredictable performance as an emperor. one side.But for the sake of her own future, although she is a concubine who was born in a bag, although she is favored, if she has no support in the court, then even if she gives birth to a son in the future, will she be able to become the emperor?Impossible, the fifth elder brother can throw it away after she gives birth to a son, but the Fu family can't.Besides, not to mention that Fu's family has already been tied to him, everyone knows the relationship between Fu's family and himself, and he can't lose it.

"Concubine Ling, you should go back and rest well. These things are not your business. No matter who it is, an assassination in front of the imperial court is treasonous!" Qianlong couldn't see anything on his face. He didn't get angry or hesitate after hearing what Concubine Ling said. He waved his hand coldly to ask the maid to send Lingfei back to the bedroom.

The palace lady didn't seem to catch the concubine Ling, she struggled and fell to her knees on the ground, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that this concubine can't and shouldn't take care of it, let alone control it, but this concubine is worried about the emperor! Five Ah My brother is also your favorite son. He is only in his 20s and his life has just begun. The confinement is such a severe punishment. Your majesty, do you think about what it was like after the thirteen uncles came out of the beekeeping lane? Your majesty Can you bear it? No matter what, there are all children in the world, and they are all your sons!" Concubine Ling said affectionately, wiping her tears as she spoke, she turned her head slightly to look over there anxiously Fulkan looked at her intently, "As for Erkang and Ertai, weren't they once your beloved courtiers? Please spare them the death penalty. We only have these two children in our family. What the hell, they are all going to die! Your Majesty, you can't let your loyal subjects die!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Baozi frowned when he saw Qianlong's brows. Concubine Ling is indeed a woman who can talk. To save the fifth elder brother, I use love, and to save Fulkan Forte, I use responsibility.From a certain aspect, it really touched Qianlong.Qianlong is still expressionless now, but Xiao Baozi can see that he is already hesitating. Although he is completely disappointed in Yongqi, there is still a father-son relationship.

Seeing Qianlong's hesitation, almost everyone thought that there was a turning point in this matter, and suddenly heard the empress stabbing coldly: "Concubine Ling, you have made such a big call, is it what you should say as a concubine? The emperor is also injured. I don’t see you asking a question, and when you come, you will plead with this one and that one, and you don’t care about the child in your belly. Or do you think that this person who doesn’t know the gender in the belly is not as good as the grown-up?!”

"Queen!" The queen mother reprimanded the queen severely in a deep voice. Although this statement is true, it is not something a queen should say!The queen also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she sipped her lips and stopped talking.The empress made a slip of the tongue, but it didn't mean that Qianlong didn't listen to it. On the contrary, the words aroused some suspicions in Qianlong, "That's right, why does Lingfei care so much about Yongqi? Usually they seem to be very close. Yongqi is not her son..." Qianlong has experienced many conspiracies, usually he just doesn't think about it, once he becomes suspicious, it is not easy to dismiss it.

Thinking of this, Qianlong looked at Lingfei even more coldly, and the original hesitation disappeared, "Needless to say, Yongqi will pack up her things and go to beekeeping in a while. As for the brothers of the Fu family, hmph, For the sake of their Ama, spare their lives, give them a hundred punishments, and remove them from their posts."

Yong Qi's face was ashen. Once the princes of the Qing Dynasty were imprisoned, they would basically never recover. Not only would they lose the right to inherit the throne, they would even be worse than ordinary princes and princes.Basically, the princes who have been imprisoned for generations have committed serious mistakes, and they have been charged with serious crimes, such as unfilial piety and treason. Even if they are released in the future, no minister will stand by him.

Concubine Ling wanted to say more, but seeing Qianlong looking at her coldly, she dared not say anything.She was stiffened and was helped back to the bedroom by the maid. As soon as her front foot reached the gate of Yanxi Palace, the imperial decree arrived, "It is unsuitable for the concubine to be in front of the imperial court. She is forbidden to enter Yanxi Palace. Before giving birth, she is not allowed to leave the bedroom." The first two times were still the same. She saved her face and didn't say it was a foot restraint. Now, if it weren't for the fact that Ling Fei was pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, and she was afraid of her fetal gas, it might be more than a foot restraint order.It's just that the concubine has been favored for so many years, and this sudden blow still made her look bad. She is not the only concubine living in Yanxi Palace, and there are quite a few people watching jokes at the moment.That night, Concubine Ling was so angry that she sent someone to invite Qianlong, thinking that she could use the illness and pretend to be able to regain her stable position.She no longer expects to save the fifth elder brother. During the day, she has seen that Qianlong's eyes on her are very wrong. Lingfei's status depends entirely on Qianlong's favor. He is not in a hurry, if he loses the emperor's favor, it is really not worth the loss.It's just that she didn't expect that the little eunuch she sent would be sent back after seeing even Qianlong's people.It is said that the emperor is practicing calligraphy with elder brother Jiu, and asked the empress to find the imperial doctor by herself.The little eunuch replied these words in fear, Ling Fei's face turned black on the spot, and one of the nails on her finger was broken.

The two brothers Yongqi and Fujia messed up the test, but it doesn't mean that the test is invalid.After the assassin was captured, Qing'er and Lan'er behind the screen were sent back by Qianlong.As for the candidate for the forehead, Qianlong already had a good idea.After that turmoil, with the departure of Qianlong and the Queen Mother, Concubine Ling was grounded, Yong Qi was sent back to Jingyang Palace to pack up her things with a disfigured face, and the two Fore brothers were dragged away on the spot and severely beaten a hundred times. , He passed out and was thrown back to Fu's house by the guards, and all his official positions were dismissed.

Qianlong and Xiao Baozi returned to the Qianqing Palace. On the surface, today’s matter is over, but in private, there will be a lot of repercussions in the court tomorrow. The Fu family has relied on the concubine Ling all these years, and the journey has been smooth. The son doesn't know etiquette, he doesn't distinguish between high and low, he has offended many high-ranking ministers long ago, if it wasn't for the concubine Ling, and they followed the fifth elder brother before they really stepped into the court, they would have been dragged down long ago. It can still tolerate their arrogance to this day.

Qianlong has been in a depressed mood today because of Yongqi's matter, and Xiao Baozi doesn't want to be angry with him anymore because of the injury, so he pulls Qianlong's hand away, retracts into his arms, helps Qianlong flip through the memorial with one hand, and puts his arm around Qianlong's body with the other. Without letting go of their waists, their nostrils were filled with the scent of each other, which made both of them gradually calm down.

Flipping through it casually, Xiao Baozi saw a memorial, "The mighty general Nu Dahai is about to return to court..."
