Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

On the luxurious big bed, a pale man was lying on the bed, holding Gong's hand, mechanically drinking the black concoction in the bowl.His expression was dull, his eyes were blank, and his originally eight-point beautiful appearance had now become only two-three points.The black and smooth hair has also become withered and yellow.

"Your Majesty, you should rest." Xiaohuan put the empty bowl on the bedside, sighed, and said softly.

Ever since the little elder brother passed away, Concubine Wan has always looked half-dead.After all these years, Xiaohuan still feels a little sad when seeing her master change, and hates that little swallow even more.

"The emperor...hasn't he come yet?" A hoarse voice came out of Wanbi's mouth, which was no longer soft and gentle as before.

"...Yes." Xiaohuan replied in a low voice, feeling a little sympathy for Concubine Wan in her heart.So what if you are an imperial concubine?There is no happiness like the children of ordinary people!At least, after your miscarriage, your husband will care about you, instead of being like the emperor who casually visits for a while and then disappears again.

"Where is the emperor today?" Mentioning Qianlong, Concubine Wan's spirit lifted slightly, and her eyes were no longer dead silent as before, but more radiant.

"..." Xiaohuan hesitated whether to use lies to coax the master over.

"!" There was a trace of cruelty in Wanpin's eyes, and she actually forced herself to sit up, frightened Xiaohuan, and hurried forward to support her.

"The emperor is taking the twelfth elder brother out to play today." Xiaohuan said anxiously, for fear that the concubine Wan would take the anger out on herself.

"Twelve Elder Brothers..." Wanbi bit her lips tightly, with crazy murderous intent and hatred in her eyes.Why?Why do children die before they are born?How could that twelfth elder brother be favored by the emperor?Why? !

Xiaohuan was terrified by the madness in Wanbi's eyes, and a chill came from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiaohuan, you have to let Elder Brother Twelve fall out of favor, otherwise, your child will ascend to the throne!" After a long silence, Wanbi suddenly looked directly into Xiaohuan's eyes, which burst into an astonishing light.

Xiaohuan was completely stunned, and said tremblingly: "Mother, empress, little elder brother is... gone!"

"Nonsense!" Wanbi slapped Xiaohuan fiercely without knowing where the strength came from: "He's in my stomach! How dare you curse little elder brother?!"

Xiaohuan was completely stunned, her body began to tremble, and her face was full of horror.My little brother died a month ago!What's the matter with the empress?

"Your Majesty, servant girl, servant girl, call the imperial physician now!" Xiaohuan ran out with chattering teeth.

"Stop!" Wanbi's face became gloomy.

"Your Majesty..." Xiaohuan was almost fainted by Wanbi's sinister gaze.

"Xiaohuan, you will never betray, right?" Wanbi's voice suddenly softened, her strange smile was accompanied by her pale face and disheveled hair, like a ghost.

"Yes... yes!" Xiaohuan nodded desperately.

"That's good." Wanbi took out a small bag out of nowhere, and waved for Xiaohuan to go: "Come here, Xiaohuan."

Xiaohuan gritted her teeth and walked over, watching Wanbi hand over the package to her hand.

"Xiaohuan, find a way to put the packaged medicine in the meals of the fifth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and the little swallow. Remember, you have to do it yourself and don't let anyone know. Do you understand?" The smile became more and more weird and frightening, but the eyes in the depths of the eyes also became more and more dazed.

"Yes..." Xiaohuan's legs were trembling, and she was about to lose her footing.

"It's a poison comparable to Hedinghong!" Wanbi laughed, "I brought it just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used! Xiaohuan, don't let it go to waste." , but it took a lot of effort to get the banned medicine!"

"I beg your majesty to spare my slave and maidservant!" Xiaohuan's feet softened, and she knelt down with a thud: "My lord, murdering the prince is to punish the nine clans! I beg your majesty to be merciful and spare this servant and maidservant!"

"You cowardly dog ​​slave!" Wanbi's face began to contort: ​​"Tell me, if you don't do it, your family members will be killed right now. If you go, He's family members still have a slight hope of being alive!"

Xiaohuan's face was pale, and after listening to Wanpin's harsh and ruthless words, she finally couldn't help crying "uuuuuuuuuuu".She's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, at most she's only doing bullying, she's never killed anyone!Now let him suddenly murder two noble princes, the sudden blow is enough to make him collapse.

"I beg my mother to spare my maidservant! I beg my mother!" Xiaohuan kowtowed desperately, the fear and helplessness in her heart crazily welling up in her heart.

Neither of the two noticed that Qianlong's personal eunuch Gao Wuyong stood at the door with an unpredictable expression for a long time before turning around and leaving.

It has to be said that Wanbi's luck is really bad.Tonight, the Empress Dowager hosted a banquet on the boat, and the emperor, concubines and elder brothers were all coming, so Qianlong asked Gao Wuyong to see if Concubine Wan could come, but Gao Wuyong heard something.

There seems to be something wrong with the concubine Wan?Thinking of Wanbi's harsh and resentful tone, Gao Wuyong shuddered and quickened his pace.

"Where is Concubine Wan? Can't get out of bed yet?" The Queen Mother asked strangely.

"Returning to Lafayette, Madam Wanbin just...just now..." Gao Wuyong hesitated, he didn't know whether he should come out in front of so many people, after all, he lost face to the royal family!But at any rate, all the people here are members of the royal family.

"What happened to Concubine Wan just now?" Qianlong frowned slightly, just like Gao Wuyong understood him, and he also understood a servant who had been by his side for decades very much.

"Going back to Lord Long Live, when the servant was delivering the decree, I happened to hear Xiaohuan, the close servant girl instructed by the concubine, to find a way to murder the fifth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and Gong Xiaoyan." Gao Wuyong was lying on Qianlong's ear The voices on the side were so low that no one except Qianlong could hear them.

"Is this true?" Qianlong narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"It's absolutely true! However, there seems to be something wrong with Concubine Wan..." Gao Wuyong said in a low voice.

"Something's wrong?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows and stood up abruptly: "Emperor Niang, there seems to be something wrong with Concubine Wan, I'm going to have a look."

"What about Concubine Wan? Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?" Because Concubine Wan innocently lost a child, and she is an authentic Baqigui, the Empress Dowager is more concerned about her.

"It's nothing serious, please rest assured, Queen Mother." Qianlong smiled and comforted, then turned to Yongzhen who was sitting there in a normal manner, and said lightly: "Yongzhen, get up with me too."

"...My minister obeys the order!" Yongzhen stood up inexplicably, and followed Qianlong out under the jealous eyes of his brothers.

There was a strange look in the Queen Mother's eyes, isn't there something wrong with Concubine Wan?The emperor saw why the concubine took her son away?What is it called?

"Huang Ama..." Yongzheng said with some hesitation, what's wrong with the concubine Wan is none of his business?It's not my queen mother!

"Gao Wuyong, tell Brother Twelve what you heard!" Qianlong said coldly.

"Hey!" Gao Wuyong bowed, and while walking, he told Yong Xin in detail what he heard outside Wanbi's room, which was enough to kill the nine clans.

Yong Xing frowned, don't concubine Wan's brain go wrong after being stimulated (the truth about Xiao Twelve)?Put the kind of poison in the food that can be detected with a silver needle?I can't figure it out!Don't let that Xiaohuan do it alone. If it succeeds, even if it succeeds, don't you forget that there is a special person to test the poison before the meal?

"The Emperor is here—"

"Brother Twelve is here—"

Xiaohuan, whose face was covered with tears, suddenly raised his head, pinching the packet of poison tightly with his fingers, his eyes were full of horror.

"The emperor is here!" Wanpin raised her head in surprise, staggered out of bed, and walked towards the door with a smile, muttering incessantly: "The emperor really likes it, haha...that child will definitely love you in the future." It's the emperor..."

As soon as Qianlong and Yongzhen entered the cabin, they saw a man with disheveled hair, pale face and bare feet walking towards him. They were caught off guard and were startled.

"Wan Concubine?" Qianlong's voice was full of astonishment, how did such a good concubine become so?

"Your majesty..." Wanpin raised her head shyly.It's a pity that if he had done this before, he would still have a coquettish and pleasant appearance, but now, his appearance is scary, which made Qianlong take a step back.

"Yongzhen pays respects to Empress Wanbi." Yongzhen bowed slightly and spoke lightly.A concubine who has no children and is not favored is not qualified to let him salute. In the past, saluting concubine Wan was just for the sake of the child in her stomach.

"Twelve Elder Brothers?" Wanpin's face darkened instantly, her facial features were a little distorted, her eyes were full of jealousy, looking at Yong Xin as if she was looking at her father and enemy.

Qianlong frowned, now he was sure that there must be something wrong with Wanbi's brain, after all, no matter how much he hated Yongzheng before, he would never show it on his face.

"Preach the Imperial Physician!" Qianlong pulled Yongzheng to his side - Wanbi's eyes were too terrifying, which made him a little hairy, for fear that he would suddenly strangle Yongzheng's neck the next moment.

"Hey!" The two young eunuchs ran out quickly, and they disappeared after a while.

"Your Majesty, are you here to see the little elder brother in the concubine's belly?" Wanpin was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, ignoring Yongzheng, and went straight to Qianlong's side to hold his arm.

Qianlong's body trembled, and he flung Wanbi's hand away violently, a complex look flashed across his eyes: "Don't you want to help your mother back into the house?"

Two strong nuns came over without saying a word, they grabbed Wanbi's arm, and dragged her back into the house regardless of the sudden shrill cry.

After a while, the gray-haired imperial doctor arrived panting: "I respectfully wish the Long Live Saint Gong, the Long Live Lord is auspicious! Greetings to the Twelfth Elder Brother, the Twelfth Elder Brother is auspicious!"

"Okay, let's go and see how the empress is doing!" Qianlong said impatiently, his tone was complicated, like anxious, sympathetic, pity...

Yong Xing frowned, suppressing the inexplicable sense of displeasure in his heart.Although it was natural for Qianlong to feel sorry for his concubine, he just felt a little uncomfortable, as if his things were being robbed...

Just when Yong Xing was struggling with why he felt this feeling inexplicably, the imperial physician had already come out.

"What's wrong with Concubine Wan?" Qianlong's expression was unpredictable, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Go back to the Lord Long Live, Madam Wanbi, Madam Wanbi..." The imperial doctor gritted his teeth, and finally said tremblingly: "Miss Wanbi's pulse is extremely chaotic, it seems that she has lost her mind."

"Why did you suddenly lose your mind?" Qianlong clasped his hands unconsciously.

"Back to Lord Long Live, it may be because the mother hurt her body after losing her little elder brother, and she was diagnosed with a severe blow to her difficulty in conceiving in the future. In addition, the resentment could not be vented, and it was stuck in her heart. ..." After a pause, the imperial physician continued: "However, the symptoms of Concubine Wan are mild, and the possibility of recovery is not great, but there is still a possibility."

"Blood overwhelm?" Qianlong's voice was ethereal, and it sounded unreal: "Heh! Can't you bear it without a child?"

Yong Xing sighed in his heart, although he didn't like Concubine Wan and wanted to have a miscarriage at one time, but he still felt a little sympathetic when he saw the beautiful woman suddenly turned into a lunatic - that little swallow is really harmful!

"Gao Wuyong." Qianlong said suddenly.

"The servant is here!" Gao Wuyong bowed.

"How about that little swallow?"

"Back to Lord Long Live, that little swallow couldn't get out, yelled and jumped around in the room, almost had a miscarriage twice, but his body was good, so the baby was saved, and it's almost five months now. "Gao Wuyong replied carefully.

"According to my decree, Gong Xiaoyanzi didn't treat the royal heir well, causing a miscarriage, and he will be held accountable!" After a pause, Qianlong said calmly: "If you beat him to death, send the body to the fifth elder brother. , if you are not killed, you will continue to be grounded, and you will be sent to Xin Zheku after returning to the palace!"

"...The servant complies with the order!" Gao Wuyong replied in a low voice, shaking his body.Although the baby in Little Swallow's belly was still there, the emperor's miscarriage was still a miscarriage, and even if there was no miscarriage, the baby would not be able to escape the fate of death.If the bottom line of the emperor is touched, what about the royal heirs?Or just kill?But pity the innocent child.However, it is also a good thing. It is better to be strangled in the mother's womb than to be looked down upon at birth. With such parents, the child in Xiao Yanzi's womb is considered a little elder brother. How good will it be in the future? go?I'm afraid they are not as honorable as the sons of some ministers, right?

So many thoughts circled in Gao Wuyong's mind, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

"Also," Qianlong said again: "Concubine Wan lost her beloved son, I feel very sorry for her, and I am specially promoted to Concubine Wan." Although he spoke with pity, his tone was clear and cold, without any trace of emotion.

"The slave obeys the order!"

If some of the decrees had been made at the moment when Concubine Wan had a miscarriage, it wouldn't have turned into what it is now, would it?Yong Xin lowered his eyes, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.Huang Ama has been the emperor for so many years, I am afraid that he has long forgotten how important a child is to the concubines in the harem-that is, our hope for the rest of our lives!
