Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

Ling concubine was able to ascend the throne of favorite concubine from a small court lady, although at first she borrowed the honor of Empress Xiaoxian, and later because her private behavior style was similar to Huixian, Qianlong loved her so much.But it is impossible for this woman, who once overshadowed the empress in the limelight, not to have some scheming skills.Her scheming is terribly deep.

There are still some people that Lingfei can use with confidence. It's not that those people are loyal to her, but that their family members are under her control. If they betray her, their family members will die without a place to die. .I have to say that although this method is very immoral, it is still very effective. Even if those people hate her, they dare not betray your concubine Ling.

The concubine has been favored for more than ten years, so she naturally knows that there are some hidden guards around Qianlong.And those hidden guards are all highly skilled in martial arts, and they are elusive.In order to prevent people from eavesdropping on any clues, Lingbi pretended to be devastated every day, coupled with her weak appearance, it was indeed very pitiful.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad, you still have Qigege!" Lamei sobbed and held Lingfei's pale and thin hand, also bursting into tears.

"How could I not be sad..." Lingbi cried so hard that she couldn't help herself: "He Ke was gone two days ago, and now it's Xiao Shiwu's turn! They were all born from my October pregnancy! I really hate me I didn't protect them well..."

"Your Majesty..." Lamei also sobbed.

"Poor little Shiwu, he didn't even have a name, so he just left..." Lingbi's eyes were full of pain.

Qianqing Palace.

"Oh? Is your concubine really like that?" Qianlong frowned, expressing his disbelief.

"If you go back to the emperor, your concubine will look very sad." The guard knelt on the ground and reported sternly.

"Then did you find out, how did Xiao Shiwu die?" Qianlong was full of worries. Some people were so mad that they dared to kill even a little brother who was not a threat. What about Yongxi, who is the most favored now?Isn't it more dangerous?

Thinking that Yongzhen might close his eyes forever like Xiaoshiwu, Qianlong felt deep fear from the bottom of his heart.This feeling made him shudder.

"If you go back to the emperor, because elder brother fifteen has always been weak, as long as you put something in the medicine he drinks, elder brother fifteen can be killed. What the servant found out is that this matter has something to do with the pure imperial concubine. relation."

"Pure noble concubine?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows in surprise, the woman he had almost forgotten completely?In my impression, she seemed to be quiet all the time. Although I didn't like her, I didn't dislike her.Although the third elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the fourth elder brother were born in a row, they were not very favored.In the past few years, even a year or so, I would not go to her palace once.

"Yes. All the clues point to the pure imperial concubine." The guard replied flatly.

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly. The Palace of Yanxi Palace has basically become a cold palace now, and the fifteenth elder brother is not favored, and it is absolutely impossible to be the future emperor. At best, he can only be an idle prince.He didn't think Concubine Chun was so brainless that she wanted to kill Brother Fifteen on the cusp of this storm.Didn't she know that at this time, even if a young eunuch died, she would send someone to investigate thoroughly?

The only possibility is that Concubine Chun was framed by someone, and the person who framed her was obviously extremely sophisticated, even the royal guards could hide it from her.

"Go and find out what Concubine Chun has done before." Qianlong played with the good Langhao brush in his hand, and an inscrutable smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"The slave obeys the order!"

The queen's body gradually recovered, Yongzheng was relieved, and besides studying, he put all his energy on tracking down the murderer.

Hard work pays off, he is now completely sure that Huang Erniang was poisoned in the early 12th year of Qianlong, because the toxicity is very weak, and it cannot be found without careful inspection.At that time, the person who poisoned the Queen's Mother must have been one of Empress Xiaoxian and Imperial Concubine Huixian.

Moreover, he also found some additional information.The seventh elder brother Yongcong died in July of the 12th year of Qianlong, the imperial concubine Huixian died in November of the 12th year, and the empress died in March of the 13th year.The time in between is so close, if there is no connection, I guess ghosts wouldn't believe it, right?

Although the scope of the murderer has been delineated, Yong Xin is not happy at all, because those two are dead!How could he care about the dead?

There is at least an [-]% chance that Empress Xiaoxian poisoned Huang Erniang, but what makes Yongzhen depressed is that even if he knows the murderer, he can't say anything, because he still plans to draw Fu Heng's family to his side!If Fu Heng's family finds out about this, not only will his plan come to nothing, they may even trip him up.

Because of Empress Xiaoxian's relationship, they can barely be regarded as his enemies. Helping an enemy ascend the throne is something no fool would do, right?

Qianqing Palace.

"Report to the emperor, the concubine Shu and concubine Yu who were caused by the pure noble concubine had miscarriages." The man dressed as a guard knelt on the ground, and a calm voice escaped from his mouth.

Qianlong's fingers tapped on the table again and again, his gaze was deep and deep.Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed. After all, Concubine Chun was also an old man who accompanied him.But after thinking about it, which woman in the harem doesn't have a few lives in his hands?How can there be clean ones?

In the past, Qianlong would have put Concubine Chun in the cold palace long ago, but now Concubine Chun is not in good health, and so many things have happened in a series, making Qianlong physically and mentally exhausted, and he is too lazy to punish her too severely .

"Your Majesty, during the process of investigating the case, the servant discovered one more thing." The guard said with some anxiety against Qianlong's uncertain expression.

"speak."

"The servant found out that another group of people is also investigating the poisoning of the Empress, and those are... the people of the Twelve Elder Brothers." The guard kneeling on the ground hesitated, but said it out.He is loyal to the emperor, and it is impossible to hide anything from the emperor.Even his words may ruin Twelve Elder Brothers.

"A person from Xiao Twelve?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows subconsciously. The queen was critically ill from poisoning. Although she is cured now, Yongzheng will definitely not let the poisoned people go. It is natural to investigate this matter. .

Facts have proved that if Qianlong likes a person, he will definitely think that person is a perfect and good person. No matter what that person does, he will automatically find a good reason for that person.If it was before, he would definitely think that Yongzheng had the intention of treason - he has cultivated so many people secretly, what is it if it is not treason?

The guard was a little surprised, the emperor was not angry?It seems that the fact that the Twelve Elder Brothers have a strong favor is not groundless! ——This eldest brother also knows Qianlong's character very well.

Although the death of the fifteenth elder brother had nothing to do with the pure imperial concubine, it was an indisputable fact that she murdered two unborn heirs.And concubine Ling... hum!

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: The pure noble concubine Su Jia is jealous and extravagant, and she will be demoted to be a pure concubine with immediate effect! This—"

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: The concubine Wei has not been able to take care of the emperor's heir for a long time. From now on, she will become a permanent presence and move into the side hall of the Yanxi Palace! Qi Gege and Jing will be raised by Concubine Shu. I hereby—"

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Concubine Shu of the Yehenala family is tolerant and magnanimous. I am very happy. From now on, I will be promoted to Concubine Shu. I hereby—"

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Si Gege will be conferred the title of Princess Heshuo and Princess Hejia today, and will marry Fuling'an on another day. Hereby—"

With the imperial decree, some families are happy and some are sad.

As soon as the concubine heard the imperial decree, she fainted instantly.She killed her own son with her own hands, just to be able to sit firmly as a concubine, but she didn't expect to be reduced to a regular, and even lost her only daughter!The sudden major blow almost made Lingpin collapse.

Among the ministers, Fu Heng's family is the most envied. Both Princess Heshuo married into his family. What a great favor this is!

After hearing the news about Ling concubine, the Fulun family couldn't believe it.

"Erkang, our family depends on you now!" Fu Lun held Erkang's hand tightly: "You must capture Qing Gege's heart and let her marry you, you understand?"

"But what about Ziwei?" Vulkang frowned worriedly.Although he likes Qing'er, he also has a good impression of Ziwei, and he is reluctant to give up any of them.

"Stupid!" Fu Lun cursed bitterly: "Qinggege is Princess Heshuo, with the backing of Lafayette, that Ziwei is just a Gushangege, so what is it compared to Princess Heshuo?!"

"Son, I know." Vulkang nodded on the surface receptive, but he was thinking about how to get both Qing'er and Ziwei.
