Hearing such secrets about the royal palace, Yinqi gasped. Who would have thought that such a thing would be unavoidable in Prince Yong's mansion, which has always been well-known for its virtuousness, under the watchful eye.

Hong Zhou said again: "It was really dangerous that time, Niu Hulu's mother-in-law almost didn't make it through. Afterwards, it took more than half a year of recuperation before she looked as usual. It is said that she did it, but at that time Fujin was ill, and all the affairs in the house were controlled by Li Fangfujin, how could anyone else get in? Moreover, I heard that there was a tricky bowl The snow fungus soup was originally intended to make up for the fourth brother. Because the fourth brother is filial to Niuhulu's mother-in-law, he drank it for her."

Yinqi thought for a while, and said: "If you say now, it is reasonable to say that Li Fangfujin is the first and last. It is just seeing that Hongshi is not promising, and this is not a matter of fighting for favor in the backyard... If Li Fangfujin kills Your mother, but there is no reason. If she harms you, she has some grounds."

Hong Zhou sighed and said: "The lord is indeed looking down on the third elder brother more and more, but Li Cai Fujin only has this one son. As for why he wanted to kill my mother, I can't guess the truth."

Yinqi said again: "What happened to the side Fujin that year? Didn't the seventh elder brother in your family die in the first month?"

Hong Zhou curled his lips and said: "When you come to the mansion, you only need to greet Fujin. Naturally, you don't need to see her, so you don't know. She is pregnant again."

Yin Qi was speechless for a moment.Didn't it mean that the fourth elder brother's heirs are difficult?Why is this Nian Shi one after another without a pause?But thinking about it again, Nianshi's children are all dead, so it can't be regarded as adding blood to the fourth elder brother.

Bai Xun thought about these useless things for a while, and Yin Qi thought about Hong Zhou and Geng's matter again, and said: "Then she doesn't need to be so anxious to hurt your mother. Her child hasn't been born yet, who knows what will happen?" Is it a boy or a girl? Besides, with the current momentum in her family, she is so favored, just think about it, does she need to attack your mother-in-law?

Yin Qi thought about it and said: "I still think that is the sentence, even if we want to attack, we must attack you. If you said that your mother was sick before, it was because you lived in the palace and couldn't do anything, so I led you It's very convenient for you to go back to the mansion to serve the sick. Then I have to tell you that you have to pay attention to yourself."

Hong Zhou said: "I'm fine. Niu Hulu's mother took care of me wholeheartedly, and the prince has always valued his children the most. No matter how fierce the fight in the backyard was, no one dared to attack us brothers."

Yin Qi frowned and said: "That's strange... You are fine, but your mother-in-law has been sick and never recovered. If you want to attack you, you should have already done something by this time... And there's no need to keep making your mother so sick."

Hong Zhou lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and Yin Qi said again: "If it is said that there is a problem with taking food and medicine, it will waste your mother's body in the long run, and there must always be clues. And if this person can People who meddle in your mother's food and medicine... Li Fang Fujin, you are on guard against her, and Nian Fang Fujin is pregnant with a child, and doesn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard... How do the two of them play tricks? The people around your mother, are you still on guard? There are people around you, but can you rest assured?"

Seeing Hong Zhou nodded, Yin Qi suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he lowered his voice and said: "I was thinking, if someone really did something to your mother, I thought it was just such a waste of time, but I didn't care about it." Okay, but I didn't intend to kill her... Did I just want to use your mother to hold you back, and I don't want you to enter the palace..."

He stretched out his hand and wrote the word "four" on the table. Hongzhou stared at it for a moment, then was startled again, and said involuntarily, "Impossible..."

Then Hong Zhou slowly said: "Usually, the best thing with my mother is hers... and I raised my child by her side, she treats me well..."

Yin Qi sighed, but did not speak.Hongzhou himself was in a daze for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, saying: "If it's really her... If it's really her... I'm..."

He clenched his teeth, and there was a rattling sound between the teeth.Yin Qi patted the back of his hand and comforted him: "I'm just saying that. It's still not clear what your mother's illness is like now, and we're just thinking about it for nothing. What is it? Can it be said that it is definitely like that? The important thing is your mother's body, you should not think about these things yet."

Hong Zhou also loosened his jaw, and sighed: "I also know it's the reason...it's just in my heart..."

~~~~~~~

Yin Qi just wanted to say that since there are objects of suspicion, he should be more on guard against them.Before he could speak, he heard Lin Qing's voice outside saying: "Si elder brother is here! Greet Si elder brother!"

Quickly helping Hong Zhou wipe his face, the two of them smiled again.When Hongli came in, Hongzhou stood up to greet him.

Hongli returned the salute casually while walking, then bowed to Yinqi, and said with a smile, "Hi Uncle 23, why is Uncle 23 here, and didn't ask anyone to tell my nephew, so my nephew can come and say hello. So quiet, if my nephew hadn't listened to the people below, and was still in the yard over there, and didn't come to see Uncle 23, it would seem that my nephew is not polite."

Yinqi raised his hand to wake him up, and said: "I'm here to greet Fujin, and to see how Hong Zhou's mother is doing. I think I'm going to Rehe in two days, and I heard that the prince will take him with him. Yours, anyway, I can still see you in Rehe, so I won’t bother you to pack your luggage or rest.”

Hongli only smiled and said: "What is Uncle 23 talking about? My nephew came to say hello to my uncle, how can I say that I am bothering him? I haven't seen Uncle 23 for many days, and my nephew misses him very much. Why 23 Uncle has only been here with Hong Zhou, and he doesn't seem to be close to me at all."

Yin Qi smiled and said, "Of course I miss you too."

Coming in from Hongli, Hongzhou had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.Yin Qi sighed secretly, pulled Hong Zhou to his side, and said to Hong Li, "Why don't you sit down? If someone saw it, they would think I was punishing you to stand."

When Hongli also sat down, Yin Qi said: "Just now I wanted to ask, but you came here, and I happened to ask you too. How are you two doing in engineering these days?"

Hongli first replied: "It can't be said to be excellent, but it has also been praised by the master. My nephew is reading "Spring and Autumn", and I must read some other history books. If Uncle 23 wants to hear some stories, my nephew will I can connect a few words to relieve Uncle 23's boredom."

Yin Qi nodded and said: "Well, you are promising. The strange thing is that the prince often praises you in front of me. That's all right. When I go to Rehe, if I have nothing to do, I will often listen to the fourth elder brother. Tell a story."

Hong Zhou followed with a smile and said, "Fourth brother has always been outstanding, and everyone praises him everywhere. Even if he tells a story, it must be the best story."

Yin Qi looked at him and said, "What about you? How have you been studying at home for the past few months?"

Hong Zhou laughed and said, "Probably, the progress will not be slower than Uncle 23. Although I didn't get the master's praise, I didn't get punished either. The prince said a while ago that I can write well."

Yinqi frowned and said: "You are the only one who will be vague. I told you, before I came today, the emperor asked me to ask you about the engineering class. Today you are perfunctory, I will go back and tell the emperor that you It’s good. After a few days, your mother will be well. You go back to the palace. The emperor personally asks you about the engineering class. If you can’t answer it, am I still lying? Wouldn’t it be that I am perfunctory to the emperor? ?”

Hong Zhou said: "Uncle 23, don't worry, although my nephew is not as good as the fourth brother, it is not impossible to fail to answer the engineering class. Besides, the emperor is very busy, so I remember what I learned last time. Is it? I can always get through it. Maybe you even forget to ask me about the engineering class. "

Yinqi sighed and said: "You. The emperor called you into the palace to be raised. He originally valued you, but you are just so playful and don't know how to make progress. The emperor knows it. It's no wonder you don't get angry. If you get angry again My lord, I see you look good!"

Hongzhou acted like a baby beside Yinqi and begged for mercy, begging Yinqi to speak good words for him in front of Kangxi.Hongli looked at the two of them, although he was smiling and silent, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yinqi was being acted like a coquettish by Hongzhou lying on his body, but he couldn't help Hongzhou's body, and said: "It's done, don't rub me. Can't I say good things for you?"

At the same time, Hongli scolded, "Hongzhou! Look at you!"

Seeing Hong Zhou let go of Yin Qi in a shy way, Hong Li said with a more serious face: "Do you still have any rules? Uncle 23 has a good temper, but you rely on his good temper and being young, but you just kick your nose in the face! You are so similar to Uncle 23! If the prince saw it, he would teach you a lesson again!"

Hong Zhou just didn't speak, and played with the jade pendant on Yin Qi's waist with his head down.Seeing him like this, Hongli frowned and said, "Did you hear what I told you?"

Yinqi laughed and said, "Oh, brother Si, what are you fussing about so much? Although we are uncles and nephews, we are about the same age. Hongzhou and I play around, and he doesn't treat me as an outsider, and I don't think so. He just disrespected me. You should be less angry."

Hongli only frowned, wanting to say something else.But he heard someone talking outside. Yin Qi heard the voices of Lin Qing and Zhang Zhenchun who had stayed on the gate of Prince Yong's mansion. He raised his voice and said, "It's Zhang Zhenchun? You didn't wait at the door, why did you come in?"

Zhang Zhenchun replied outside: "Master, Lord Yong is back. I heard that Lord is here. Tell him to meet him in his study."

After Yinqi heard this, he got up and smiled at Hongli Hongzhou: "Come on, let's stop arguing. I'll go to greet the prince. You two should stay here and talk, or come with me to see the prince."

To see Prince Yong, Hongli and Hongzhou have nothing to say.They all stood up and straightened their clothes, then followed Yinqi out the door.

~~~~~~~

Thinking of the meal at his house after meeting the fourth elder brother that day, Yin Qi felt even more panicked.

The fourth elder brother has not yet ascended to the throne of God, and the fight has begun in his own inner courtyard.For the title of a prince, he also went to great lengths, no wonder the princes all want a son, and the sons are excluded anyway.

Originally, Yin Qi was a little wary of the Niu Hulu family. If she was an ordinary woman, she would not be able to survive in the backyard of the fourth elder brother's house. She gave birth to such a vigorous son, and finally became the concubine Xi and the queen mother. .

Coupled with the private speculation that Niu Hulu's family had harmed Geng's family, Yin Qi only felt that if Geng's illness was really man-made, the hand behind it must belong to Niu Hulu's family.

Only she also has a son, a son who was originally better than Hong Zhou, but because of bad luck, he failed to enter the palace and be educated by Kangxi.

Now that we have really met each other, it seems that this woman is really extraordinary.

At noon, the fourth elder brother said that he had put the rice in the gazebo and was eating when Niu Hulu came with a few plates of fresh side dishes, saying that he had thanked Yinqi for taking care of Hongzhou.

The fourth elder brother likes to see his wife and concubine look so virtuous, and it is rare for him to ask her to come over and serve dinner.

At the beginning, Niu Hulu's talk was all about Hong Zhou's affairs. He just talked about the matter of Hong Zhou's inability to enter the palace due to his sickness.

At first she made amends for Hongzhou, but she looked like a good mother, but later she gradually asked, why not let Hongli enter the palace for Hongzhou to accompany Yinqi, in short, they are brothers, and they are not far from each other.

Yin Qi stopped talking, but the fourth prince's face was unpredictable, but he looked as if he was about to get angry.

But before the fourth elder brother was really angry, Si Fujin Nala also came over.When she walked to the table in the yard, she heard Niu Hulu say that she wanted Hongli to enter the palace to accompany Yinqi to study.

Nala put the food box in his hand on the stone pier next to him, and said to Niu Hulu with a half-smile: "Why, what Niu Hulu Gege means is that if no one is with you, the 23rd master will not be able to study. ? Who has become of that!"

Yin Qi looked at Nala's loving eyes, and there was a sense of protection in his words, but he couldn't help but feel a little chilly in his heart.It turned out that Hong Zhou hadn't lied at all, and Na Lashi seemed to be really dazed.

But he also took the opportunity to say: "Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand Yinqi, Yinqi is not that playful, how could he stop studying without someone to accompany him? That said, sister-in-law Si can't wrong Yinqi. If you don't believe me, sister-in-law ask fourth brother, fourth brother knows about me."

The fourth elder brother also frowned and said to Niu Hulu: "Go down. My eyes are shallow and I don't understand the truth. I will talk less in the future. What does it mean that the Lord let Hongli enter the palace? Is it because the Lord said that he can enter the palace?" Forget it? Yin Qi has grown up, and he has his own companion, so I won't let Hong Zhou enter the palace in two years' time."

Niu Hulu went down awkwardly, the fourth elder brother glanced at Nala, then at the food box she brought, and said, "You also brought it to add food?"
