It's just that if Yongzheng really had a good time, Prince Lian would die in an ugly way.

Even the brothers who were close to him at the beginning, especially the old nine and ten, don't even think about what will happen to them.

Because he thought of the rumors he had heard in his previous life, saying that Yinzhen, the ninth elder brother, was tied up in the yard by people sent by Yongzheng, and was roasted to death by the summer sun, Yinqi shivered violently.

In front of him, Yongzheng never showed the legendary cruelty and viciousness.But Yin Qi really didn't dare to say that Yongzheng couldn't think of such an idea to torture a person he hated for a long time.

Especially thinking that the person Prince Lian valued the most, besides Concubine Liang who had died long ago, was the younger brother Yinzhen. With such a move, Prince Lian might be the one who suffered the most.Yinqi secretly guessed Yongzheng's psychology, he should like this method.

However, if such a thing really happened, although Yongzheng was happy, his reputation would be completely ruined.At this time, it is not just Prince Lian's party that is going to oppose him, there is also Prince Cheng who is always fond of fantasy, and is also a little whimsical, willing to instigate stupid literati to talk nonsense.

Not to mention these things, just for Kangxi's last wish...

He was usually only close to Yongzheng's faction, so he naturally felt that Prince Yi, Prince Jiajun, Wangzhuang, etc. were his biological elder brothers, and the others were all outsiders.It was only then that he remembered that Prince Lian was also an elder brother with the same bloodline.

If it's an irrelevant person, it's fine, no matter how miserable it is, it has nothing to do with Yinqi anyway.It's just that this is a relative after all, how can you bear it?

Kangxi knew about it publicly, and he was afraid that he would really feel heartbroken.

Yin Qi looked down at the imperial edict in his hand again, and secretly made up his mind.Turning around, he said to Su Yao: "Go and tell them to bring the big clothes, I'll go see the emperor."

Su Yao looked at Yin Qi, hesitant to speak, but turned around and left without saying anything.

Yin Qi also knew that if this matter was not done well, it would be involved.

only……

As if there had never been Kangxi's will, he was even more unable to do it.

Even if it's to be worthy of Kangxi's kindness in giving birth, to be worthy of his paternal love for him, to be worthy of her trust in him... even if it is to be worthy of his own conscience, Yinqi can't ignore it.

Yin Qi knew that he was not a good person.It's just that he also has his own bottom line.

Before going out, he looked back at his small courtyard. When he came back tonight, he hoped the world would not be turned upside down.

~~~~~~~

In the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, when Yinqi entered, Yongzheng was sitting on the kang, reading a book, and eating an orange next to him.He knew that it was Yinqi who came in, so he didn't look up, but said casually: "You sit aside."

Yin Qi touched the edict in the sleeve, sat on the embroidered pier brought by the eunuch, looked up at the eunuch, only then realized that it was Xing Nian.It's really been a long time, Xing Nian smiled, and stepped back silently.

After a while, Yongzheng closed the book, raised his hand to pick up the cup, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and then said: "This is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, why don't you go out and make trouble? Come here to disturb my purity."

After turning upside down, Yongzheng leaned on the pillow again, and said, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say. I only have time now."

It was also difficult for Yinqi himself to decide how to speak. After a moment of silence, he simply said directly: "Your Majesty, yesterday, on the ninth day... Yunyu discussed crimes because of matters. This slave has something to say."

Yongzheng smiled but said, "You are here to beg for mercy, aren't you?"

What Yinqi wanted to say, Yongzheng probably knew it well, so Yinqi didn't waste any more words, just nodded.

Yongzheng said quickly: "You know, you plead for them, but they don't know it, and they will never accept your favor."

Yin Qi bowed his head and said: "Slave... I never thought about teaching anyone to be sympathetic. It's just that if I don't say these words, I feel uneasy in my heart."

Yongzheng sneered and said, "Why are you uneasy? You haven't done anything wrong. Are you still afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

Yin Qi took a deep breath, but really couldn't say what to say next.Is he going to threaten Yongzheng with Kangxi's will?

But if you talk about brotherhood and ask Yongzheng himself to sympathize with Prince Lian, that would be whimsical!

Hearing Yongzheng sneer again, he said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly! After a while, Prince Zhuang will come over, and there will be no time for you to speak!"

Yinqi was shocked when he heard the words, he actually wanted Prince Zhuang to come over!Could it be that Yongzheng is going to remove Prince Lian and others from the clan?

This is really no ordinary punishment!

If the clan is removed from the family, it will no longer be a member of the Aixinjueluo family. This is the real kindness and righteousness!

But how could it be so fast?Didn't you just want to discuss crimes yesterday?Is it going to be removed today?

If it wasn't for removal, why would Prince Zhuang come here at this time?Ordinary small punishments and big commandments, even if the clan is involved, there is no need for the emperor to order it himself.Anything involving the imperial decree must be severely punished.

Looking at Yongzheng, Yongzheng had a smile on his lips, contented.Drinking tea with a cup, he hummed and laughed at Yin Qi again.

Yin Qi couldn't help but touched his sleeves again, lowered his head, his heart was jumping in shock.

After being ruthless, he wanted to grit his teeth and pull out the roll of yellow silk, but he heard Yongzheng say above: "You don't need to take out your last edict! I already knew what was written in it."

Yinqi subconsciously turned his head to look at Xing Nian, but Yongzheng said: "Xing Nian is not so bold as to peep at the imperial decree, and he is also illiterate, so he doesn't know what the late emperor wrote at that time. The matter of the edict is the late emperor's Before leaving, tell me personally."

He snorted, and said: "It's okay to tell you this. The late emperor told me at that time that there is such a will, and I will put it in your hands. If I really want to kill my brother, you will definitely take it." Come out to rule over me. He also said at that time, after thinking for a long time, the catastrophe of his life is probably behind him, and it is all about you to resolve this matter."

Saying that, he sat up straight and laughed angrily: "You talked to me, do you think this is the case!?"

Yongzheng stared at Yinqi, as if Yinqi uttered even one word, and he would immediately let someone come in and drag him out to pieces.Yinqi's heart trembled suddenly, and his lips trembled too.

After a while, he could barely make a sound, and said in a low voice, "I... I never thought like this..."

His voice was so small that he could barely hear it, but Yongzheng seemed to understand what he said, calmed down his anger, sat back, and said, "You are a sincere child. In the current situation, even clan relatives, Most of them are only wise and safe, but you didn't forget the late emperor's edict. I am very comforted. It can be seen that you have lived up to the late emperor's love for you. Let's put away the edict, I Just keep them alive."

Just to save one life?Yin Qi's heart trembled when he heard this sentence.

You must know that there is a saying in this world that life is better than death!

But no one knew where a burst of courage came from, Yinqi raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's just the late emperor's last decree, and I still want to proclaim it!"

Yongzheng narrowed his eyes, watched as Yinqi took a deep breath, stood up from the embroidered pier, took two steps forward, took out the yellow silk, but knelt down in front of his kang with a plop.

Yin Qi raised the yellow silk over his head with trembling hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the catastrophe mentioned by the late emperor does not refer to the catastrophe that Yunyu Yunyu and the others will suffer, but refers to the emperor's future!"

Yongzheng said coldly: "My future? Is it possible that I still count on them to save me in the future!?"

Yinqi shook his head, his mouth became dry, and his voice became hoarse, he only took advantage of the courage of his blood and said, "Your Majesty, if you make an order today, whether you demote or expel, it will only appear that you are not good enough." You are so benevolent! Leave it to future generations, I really don’t know how many gossips will be said! From ancient times to the present, no Mingjun has ever expelled his brother from the clan. The last emperor’s decree actually anticipated what happened to the emperor today! His old man is underground, I also don't want to see the emperor's reputation tarnished!

"The first emperor was counting on you to gain the reputation of the eternal Mingjun in the future, and that's why he came up with this edict... He also... also hopes that the emperor will be full of brotherly love, always the same blood, the emperor is decisive at this time , It’s really refreshing. Looking back on it in the future, don’t you really regret it? Your Majesty..."

In the middle of the conversation, a cup suddenly fell in front of him, and it broke into several pieces under his nose. The broken porcelain scraped across Yinqi's cheek, and he felt a tingling pain, and then something flowed down.Yin Qi opened his mouth halfway, but stopped talking, panting slightly, he didn't know whether he should continue talking, or shut up quickly.

Yongzheng stared at him with two dark eyes, Yinqi only felt that his whole body seemed to be immersed in a hole in the ice.

After some time, Yongzheng said slowly, "Very good. You are indeed extremely loyal to the late emperor."

After saying this, he stretched out his hand to Yinqi, and said, "Give me the edict."

Yinqi hurriedly handed it over, Yongzheng took it, unfolded it and scanned it, and said with a sneer, "Sure enough, it was well-intentioned..."

There was some resentment towards Kangxi vaguely in the voice, Yinqi's heart sank immediately, and he wanted to speak, but Yongzheng said first: "It's the painstaking efforts of the late emperor, how can I not appreciate it?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slight smile on his lips, but his expression was extremely cold.Yinqi couldn't help trembling, and heard Yongzheng say again: "Are you afraid again? What are you afraid of this time?"

Before Yinqi could answer, Yongzheng laughed and said, "It turns out that after all these years, you are still so loyal to the late emperor. Is it because I am in your heart that you are still not as good as the late emperor? If you hadn't personally heard Hearing the late emperor's oral order, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be as loyal to me as I am now!?"

He stopped suddenly, and after a while, his voice became colder, and he said: "I'm afraid that you said that sentence at that time purely to be loyal to the late emperor? Fortunately, I still..."

In the middle of speaking, Yongzheng choked up by himself.

When Yinqi heard that he didn't even say "Zhen", and saw his subsequent expression, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard. After being suffocated, he felt pain, and quickly said: "No! Your Majesty! At that time, I was sincere. ..."

Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Needless to say!"

He threw aside the Kangxi imperial edict in his hand, sat up, and said, "What about you, I will probably have to think about it... What will happen to you in the future, you...you should think about it yourself."

As he spoke, he put his feet on the ground and stood up.Yinqi looked up at him, and he also looked down at Yinqi.

When the four eyes met, Yin Qi only felt that he saw the disappointment and pain in his heart, and opened his mouth to explain.

It's just that I said the word "I", but I didn't know what to explain and how to explain it...

After a long time, he couldn't say a second word for a while, so Yongzheng didn't wait for him to speak anymore.Hearing Yongzheng let out a breath, he said lightly, "Get up."

~~~~~~~

Yinqi stood up, Yongzheng took his shoulders, took a handkerchief and wiped his face.Only then did Yin Qi feel the pain on his face, and when he looked at the handkerchief on Yongzheng's hand, it was actually red.

It turned out that it was bleeding, so Yinqi wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but Yongzheng grabbed the raised hand.

He stared blankly at Yongzheng for a while, then heard him say: "Your hands are not clean, don't touch them."

I felt soft in my heart, and heard him say again: "The late emperor left you here, saying that he can assist me. Although I don't know what you can do with such a small thing, but...you also take care of yourself for me. alright."

Yinqi opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Yongzheng and said with a sneer: "Why, since I know that you have a will, I know what is written on it; since I know that there is a will, I know that you have another one." Zhang Huangjuan, what is written on it?"

He lowered his voice and said with indescribable sarcasm: "You should be, you have a second time, when you can suppress me with the will?"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and let go of Yin Qi, turned his head towards Xing Nian and said, "Xuan."

Seeing Xing Nian walking out quickly, Yin Qi woke up.

It turned out that he was so distracted just now that he didn't even hear what Xing Nian and Yong Zheng said?

His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't say a word.Something in my heart is about to break out of the cocoon, but no matter how hard I struggle, I can't get rid of the thread that binds the wings.

I clearly know that I missed this time, and I am afraid that I will never be able to tell those words to the person in front of me who only left his back to me in the future, but...

Why can't he just pull out those feelings from the layers of cover-up and put them in front of him?

I really can't wait...I can't wait to take my heart out so that he can see clearly...

All this loyalty surprised even himself.

How can a soul from later generations do so much for such an emperor in this era... and think so much for him so wholeheartedly?

Even for my own ambitions, for my own thoughts of wanting to change the future, I would not have such following and loyalty.

If it was not Yongzheng, not him, but anyone else, Yin Qi would never be allowed to pay such loyalty.

But he...is he questioning such loyalty because of his little nostalgia and remembrance of his dead father?
