Breeze

Yin Qi looked over quickly, but saw a group of people carrying a person to the couch next to him, surrounded by many people crying and screaming.Yin Qi rubbed his eyes, only to see clearly that the person was Yin Zhen.

Looking at his complexion earlier, after such a night, he was actually the first one who couldn't hold on.However, considering that he had been fasting for the past few days, it was normal for him to faint now.

The people around were talking in low voices, regardless of whether Yinzhen could hear him or not, they all said that the emperor was working too hard, and the emperor was very sad because of the death of the former emperor, so he passed out.

Concubine De also changed from the indifferent look she had when Yinzhen greeted her just now, and became anxious.Wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, he shouted for the imperial doctor again and again, wandering around, at a loss.

Before the imperial physician came, Yinzhen woke up by himself.He drank a cup of tea in the hand of the thirteenth elder brother, looked around for a week, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you doing around! The most important thing is to kneel to the late emperor!"

He took a special look at Concubine De, and saw that Concubine De was indifferent again, Yinzhen said coldly: "Do you think I will die if this is the case!? Huh! I can't die yet! Everyone go back and kneel alright!"

Yin Qi watched the whole process and just wanted to sigh.If Concubine De was a little soft at this moment, Yinzhen's heart would soften.He had just lost his father, and his mother was kind and gentle, no matter what estrangement there was before, it has faded now.

The relationship between their mother and son is good, no matter whether they want to speak for the fourteenth elder brother again in the future, or complain about Yinzhen's indifference before, it is easier to talk about.Even if it is to fight for the seat of the real prince for the fourteenth elder brother, Yinzhen just wants to put on an appearance of filial piety and admiration. If the concubine De begs, Yinzhen will probably consider it.

But Concubine De also snorted coldly, turned back and knelt down again without looking at Yinzhen.Moreover, she still knelt on the lower part of Concubine Yi, which made Concubine Yi look panic-stricken and at a loss for a moment.

Yin Zhen stared straight at Concubine De, his face was even more ugly.He stood up with the hand of the thirteenth brother, waved away the hand extended by the imperial doctor, returned to his position, and knelt down straight again.

The thirteenth elder brother came over again with ginseng tea and porridge, begging him in a low voice to take a break, drink some tea, and eat something.Yinzhen also didn't give any face, and knocked him over with a wave of his hand.Then, holding the emperor's airs, he ordered the thirteenth elder brother to go back and kneel down.

He was clearly out of anger, poor Brother Thirteen was already on the verge of falling, and he still had to worry about him.

It's a pity that Concubine De turned a blind eye to all these things.

It's just that Yin Qi watched from afar, the handkerchief she was holding was almost torn to pieces.

Yin Qi sighed secretly, what is the strength of the two mother and child?

It's just that he didn't have a place to talk at this time, even if he felt uncomfortable for the mother and child, he couldn't bring it out and put it on his face.He also knelt down again, and glanced at Concubine Jing over there again.She was the one who really stayed out of the matter, she didn't even raise her head, she was only immersed in her own sadness.

fair enough.

In this palace, the more you see, the worse it gets, but Concubine Jing is a smart person.Yin Qi also just pretended that he didn't see anything, and continued to hang his head, and gradually became confused after a while.

~~~~~~~

Kangxi had a funeral, and the coffin was suspended for 27 days. The princes, clan relatives, wives and others had to keep watch.It is said that you have to kneel for a long time, but it doesn't mean that you can't rest.

It's just that Yinzhen is strictly abiding by the rules, and he is not slack at all.For the first seven days, he almost never got up and knelt in front of the Kangxi spirit all the time.Eat and drink less, sleep less and move less, but you are full of worries and thoughts, and you are extremely haggard.The original white jade-like face lost all luster, and the cheeks were sunken, looking like a layer of chalk, which looked scary.

No matter how many people persuaded him, he didn't listen. He passed out several times in a few days, and he didn't talk about recuperation.Yin Qi watched with cold eyes, many people looked worried, but they only felt satisfied in their hearts.These people probably just waited to see Yinzhen's mourning was too much, and then took advantage of his illness to kill him, and let him die in front of Kangxi's mausoleum.

Yinzhen is just trying to fight for that breath, he is really too angry, too strong.Yin Qi looked on coldly, if Concubine De didn't go to persuade him personally, to speak soft words to him, I'm afraid Yinzhen would still suffer.

Because Yinzhen strictly abides by the etiquette system, no one dares to violate it a little bit.In the first seven days of Kangxi, the princes and elder brothers all had the experience of kneeling and fainting.The seventh elder brother has been carried back because of his leg and foot problems, and several imperial doctors are guarding him; the thirteenth elder brother is even more worrying to see, he still has the burden of the prime minister's internal affairs on his body, and he dare not even fall down to treat his illness of.

The younger brothers looked bad, but the twenty-two elder brother, the imperial physician had already shaken his head, saying that his lifespan was lost, not to mention the younger and weaker twenty-two elder brother.Even Yinxi, the 22st elder brother, was also on the verge of collapse these days. Yinqi knelt side by side with him, smiling wryly at each other, feeling that his legs were no longer his own.

On the evening of the nineteenth day of Dongyue, the concubines all left after kneeling, and it was time for the princes to leave the palace.Only the fifth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother who were keeping watch at night were still kneeling in front of Kangxi Ling, and the sixteenth elder brother stood outside the door and ordered the little eunuchs to respond.

Yinqi got up on his knees, stretched out his hand to give Yinxi a hand, and then the two of them went to Kangxi's coffin to salute and say goodbye to Yinzhen.Just walking closer, Yin Qi raised his head inadvertently, but suddenly saw tear stains on Yin Zhen's cheeks, still glistening with water.

He was so startled that he couldn't even speak.

Yinxi was taller than him by a head, but it was not so coincidental that he could see Yinzhen's tears hidden in the shadow when he lowered his head, so he looked at Yinqi and said for him: "Your Majesty, Brother 23 is about to resign. But he has been crying hoarsely for the past few days. He is afraid that the holy car will lose his manners before, so he will ask the servant to sue the emperor for him."

Yinzhen didn't speak, but waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.Yinxi hurriedly pulled Yinqi to salute, and then retreated.

After leaving the palace gate, Yinxi whispered: "What's the matter with you? It's as if your tongue was taken away by a cat, and you can't even say goodbye? Don't you cry stupidly these days."

Yinqi hurriedly said: "How can it be. It's just that I suddenly feel that the emperor is really close to the former emperor. I can see it for a while."

Hearing this, Yinxi looked at Yinqi, and sighed: "Didn't the edict of the first emperor say 'I am very humble?'. How can the emperor not be like the first emperor?"

He also knew that Yin Qi was just an excuse, so he didn't say anything else, but asked, "Go back to elder brother's place? Or do you have another place to go?"

Yin Qi just wanted to nod, but suddenly there was a thunder in his heart, and he remembered the tears on Yin Zhen's face just now.He hastily pulled Yinxi's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Is the emperor going to succeed tomorrow?"

Yinxi nodded, looked at Yinqi with some puzzlement, and said: "Tomorrow, the first emperor will be in his early seventies, and the emperor will succeed to the throne. This is the rule. Why, what do you remember?"

Yin Qi said: "Well, I did think of an important matter. I still lack a piece of clothes to wear tomorrow, and I want to talk to my mother. Brother 21, you go back first, and I won't delay your business I'm done. I'm going to go to the back first to say hello to my mother-in-law."

~~~~~~~

Jingren Palace is more sad than other palaces at this time.

There are also several masters in this palace, but apart from the concubine Jing who is the master, they are all promised to be there all the time, and the highest status is only the nobleman Gao who lives in the side hall.All of them are young, in their twenties, and there are even two of them, only fourteen or five years old.

Moreover, these people have no children and are young and widowed. Thinking about the long decades of widowhood in the future, if they want to stay silent in this deep palace until they die, there is really no hope at all. Why? Can not be sad.

In the conservatory of the main hall, Concubine Jing is sitting and reading a book.Yinqi walked in, saluted, and moved to her side, only then did he see that in front of her was a Buddhist scripture.Concubine Jing was still holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, just now she was chanting and counting beads.

When Yinqi came to her side, she put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, touched Yinqi's head, pulled him into her arms, and asked softly, "Why is brother here? Emiang is not here tonight." It’s convenient to keep you for dinner. We’re going to stop eating and pray for blessings.”

Shaking his head, Yinqi said: "The son didn't come to beg for food. He wanted to discuss an idea with Er Niang. The son had an idea in his heart. If it can be done, it will be of great benefit in the future. But the son I was also afraid that this matter would be self-defeating, and it would be unsightly. So I hesitated and tossed and turned."

Concubine Jing looked at Yinqi, and after a while, she sighed, raised her head and said, "Xiaohe Xiaorui, you two go to the nobleman next door to have a look, she seemed to have a fever when she got up early today, I don't know if she is better now No. If the fever persists, send someone to Xuan Tai Physician. This disease cannot be delayed."

The two palace maids went out in response, and the two around Concubine Jing were also smart, and followed them out without closing the door, just standing outside and guarding.

Then Concubine Jing said: "Brother is here again at this time, but what's the matter?"

Yin Qi hesitated for a moment, this was the first time he talked about these things with Concubine Jing.

At first, I didn't know Concubine Jing, but thought she was a naive and soft girl who entered the palace at a young age, and fell in love with an old man like Kangxi, Yinqi wanted to protect her.

Later, she faintly felt that Concubine Jing was not as pure and simple as she appeared on the surface, but Yin Qi never thought of discussing her plans with Concubine Jing.Although they are mother and son, after all, he has never grown up with Concubine Jing since he was a child, and they are not very familiar with each other.

Later, after gradually getting closer, Yin Qi never thought about asking Concubine Jing to help him plan something.After all, in the matter of a man, if even his mother and wife are involved, it will inevitably appear that the man is worthless.

It's just that today's matter is really a huge and important matter.If Yinqi didn't discuss it with anyone, he really did it on his own, and he was afraid that he would regret it if he didn't regret it in the future.

And if this is the case, Concubine Jing said that it is really not feasible, and Yin Qi will naturally not be stubborn and insist on doing it.

Although the tears on Yinzhen's face made him think that way, he is not someone who would do unwise actions just because of those tears.

So he couldn't help but want to discuss with Jingbi whether this matter is worth doing.Even if it is worth doing, will there be any danger, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Concubine Jing didn't urge Yinqi either, but just looked at him.

Yinqi thought for a while, then whispered: "Emiang, tomorrow is the time for the emperor to succeed to the throne, but my son is watching, I am afraid that the queen mother is not willing to accept the emperor's succession."

Concubine Jing didn't speak, just nodded, and Yinqi said again: "This matter...we shouldn't get involved in it. But, my son thought, this is an opportunity."

He looked at his hands and said, "In ten days, it will be my son's ninth birthday. I'm afraid it will be another ten years before he wants to be honored like his brothers. But... my son doesn't want to Wait ten years from now."

Yinqi took Jingpin's hand and said: "My son also has some ideas of his own. If a man is alive, who doesn't want to stand up to the sky? Besides, my son has been raised by the late emperor for so many years. To be honest, my heart is already big. I'm afraid I can't do it normally. people."

Sighing, he continued: "The son himself has some ambitions. Although the son is still young, he is not one of those ignorant children. It is also the expectation of the late emperor and the wish of the son himself to go to court early in the morning. .”

Then he looked into Concubine Jing's eyes and said: "My son also thought about it. If he can leave the palace and build a mansion at the age of 16, and have a higher status, he can ask for an order to support Er Niang. Er Niang is in this deep palace. It's been long enough."

"But the emperor is a very cautious person. How could he use a child like me? It's not like a joke. Although the emperor can still see me now, he just treats me as a plaything. It's impossible to talk about reusing it. The only thing I can do is... let the emperor have my weight in his heart."

Yinqi looked at Concubine Jing and said, "Emiang, my son is thinking, if I can go and say a few words to the queen mother at this time, so that the emperor's succession tomorrow will be smooth, it will be an excellent thing."

He looked worried again, and said: "It's just that my son is still worried. This matter, if you are not careful, it will easily become self-defeating."

~~~~~~~

Concubine Jing looked at Yinqi silently, and after a while, she said: "Emiang is considered friendly with the Queen Mother these days, and she can still say a few words in front of her old man. If you really want...Emiang can also Let me take a walk with you. It's just that you really thought about it? If you take care of the emperor's affairs, you won't be able to get away in the future."

When Yin Qi heard this, he couldn't help but shrink back, but Yinzhen's tears always flashed before his eyes.It's not just for future planning, his sympathy for Yinzhen also holds a lot of weight.

Immediately, he remembered the words he had said in front of Kangxi at that time, and Yinqi became more determined in his heart.He gritted his teeth and nodded.

Concubine Jing sighed, and said, "That's all... But I still have something to tell you."
