The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

As soon as Qianlong woke up, all the concubines, princes and princesses flocked outside Qianlong's bedroom, waiting to be summoned.

Qianlong just woke up, his spirit was very weak, he first asked about the assassin in a hoarse voice, and then fell asleep again after the questioning.

The assassin case was handled by Fu Henghe and the prince, and the investigation was quite fruitful.Although Chen Qingyun didn't know the details of the White Lotus Sect, and Chen Qinglian bit and assassinated him just to avenge his personal revenge, and he didn't know what the White Lotus Sect was, but they were not the only ones who were arrested.Not all the subordinates Xu Lian brought to carry out the assassination were tough, and one of them couldn't bear the torture, so he finally recruited.

Following the clues he provided, the sub-rudders of the White Lotus Sect in the capital were quickly wiped out by Fu Heng's people, and following the vines, a small number of sub-rudders of the White Lotus Sect in other places were also encircled and suppressed. The loss is not small.

When Qianlong woke up again, it was already late at night.

The highest status in the palace is the empress and pure imperial concubine, and now both of them are guarding in the bedroom.The other concubines were afraid that Qianlong would get angry if he didn't see them when he woke up, and they refused to go back to their respective palaces to rest, so the empress arranged for them to rest in the side hall with Gege.

Brothers are all guarding the outer hall, with a certain distance between each other, neither too close nor too far away.

The queen and the pure concubine guarding the inner hall looked harmonious and natural on the surface, but each had a faint hostility in their eyes.

However, the dim light blinded the eyes of the two, making everything look tender.

When Qianlong woke up, Concubine Chun discovered it for the first time. Because the empress had a feeling of disgust for Qianlong, she was a bit late before following Concubine Chun to Qianlong's bed.

Facing Qianlong, the two wiped away their tears and rejoiced, and were extremely sincere.

Qianlong woke up again, feeling better than before and able to speak.

Although Qianlong felt that it was strange that his body was unconscious, he only thought that he was seriously injured. The situation at that time really made him feel terrified. It was really lucky to be able to save a life.

The empress and concubine Chun also resolutely did not mention the matter of paralysis, for fear that Qianlong would not be able to bear the stimulation for a while and hold his breath.

Since Yongzhang was under house arrest in the county palace, Concubine Chun felt restless, and even disregarded her own body, unwilling to leave Qianlong's side for a moment, in order to beg Yongzhang when Qianlong woke up. A plea.

"The emperor woke up, thank God, otherwise Yongzhang would not know what to do with himself." Concubine Chun said happily with tears in her eyes, "It's a pity that he is now under house arrest and cannot come to pay his respects to the emperor."

The queen knew that Concubine Chun was giving her eye drops. Now that the queen mother is unconscious and Qianlong is unconscious, there is only one queen in this palace who can make the decision to put Yongzhang under house arrest.Concubine Chun wanted to imply to Qianlong that the empress had exceeded her authority, and she wanted Qianlong to be afraid of the empress and Yong Cong.

The queen didn't rush to explain anything. Knowing the real cause of Yongqi's death, the queen knew that in Qianlong's heart, the most important thing was himself, whether it was his son or his lover, only if he didn't endanger himself. He can only be pampered and loved, but as long as there is the slightest possibility of threatening him—whether it is life or reputation, he can be ignored.So, as long as the empress' intention is for his own good, and put Yongzhang under house arrest until he wakes up, what big deal can this be?

So when Qianlong looked over, the queen replied: "The emperor is injured, and the concubines are also panicked. Without the backbone, they will naturally lose their sense of proportion. The people below investigated and found that Chen Qingyun, one of the assassins, was the third elder brother." The Qing guest in the mansion, the concubine couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she held the idea that she would rather be in vain than indulge, and restrained the third brother's feet. In the concubine's heart, no one would want to hurt the emperor. Let it go. If it was proved that the third elder brother was indeed related to the assassination incident, even if the concubine tried her best to be punished by the emperor, it would not make him feel better."

The queen pondered Qianlong's psychology, and said that as long as Qianlong was good, it would be fine for others to be hurt and wronged. As she expected, she won Qianlong's favor.

Qianlong looked at the empress with admiration, and said: "The empress is right, Yongzhang...just restrain your feet first." Qianlong did not fully trust Yongzhang, but now he is seriously injured, and he doesn't have the energy to deal with these things , Let Yongzhang be grounded for the time being, let's wait until he recovers.

Concubine Chun's heart sank, she understood what Qianlong's suspicion meant to Yongzhang, and she was afraid that she would miss the throne.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Chun said eagerly, but was forced to retreat by Qianlong's cold eyes, she didn't dare to say more, but felt bitter in her heart.

When the queen saw this, she was overjoyed, but her face remained calm, and she said, "Does your majesty have the energy to meet all the concubines and elder brothers?"

Qianlong asked: "Are they all there?"

The queen said gently: "They are all here, concubines and princesses, the concubine arranged for them to rest in the side hall, and the older brothers were guarding in the outer hall, except for the third elder brother who was restrained by the concubine, and the sixth elder brother who went out of Beijing on business. Hurry back, the other elder brothers are all there. Also...Ziwei was ill a few days ago, and the concubine asked her not to come here to pray for the emperor in Shufangzhai. Do you think the emperor should send someone to call her over?"

Qianlong frowned and said, "No need. Wen... how is Chen Wenjie?"

The queen replied: "The child was seriously injured. Although he saved his life, he will be weak for the rest of his life." The queen observed Qianlong's face while talking, so as to determine her attitude towards the child.

Qianlong didn't even change his expression, he just said casually: "The empress should know the identity of that child, right?"

The queen nodded and said: "The concubine knows, and Chen Qinglian made it clear in the prison."

Hearing Chen Qinglian's name, Qianlong's eyes suddenly became a little bit resentful, and said: "Chen Qinglian and Chen Qingyun committed regicide, and they should be sentenced to death. As for Chen Wenjie... let him be kept among beekeepers." Qianlong Knowing these three people, the people below dare not deal with them at will, only he can give orders.

The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said: "The concubine knows."

After a while, Qianlong wanted to summon the elder brothers of the emperor, thinking that he had to choose a temporary government official from among them.

The serving eunuch went out to deliver the decree, and the elder brothers entered the door in an orderly manner and knelt down to greet Qianlong.The concubines and princesses in the side hall who heard the sound also arranged their appearance in a hurry, waiting for Qianlong to summon them.

Lying down, Qianlong could only look sideways at the heads of the brothers, feeling unhappy, so he said to the queen, "Help me up."

The queen froze when she heard the words, her expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and she said: "Your Majesty, your wound has not healed yet, and your movements are the easiest to crack, why don't you lie down first..."

Qianlong saw the empress's unnatural moment, and he was a little puzzled at that moment. He wanted to move his body again, but found that he didn't have any sensation below the waist. How come you can't even move your toes?It was as if he had been cut off from the waist down and ceased to exist.

Qianlong's face suddenly became very scary, and he shouted: "Help me up!" He wanted to see with his own eyes whether his feet were still there.

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and secretly swallowed their saliva. They could almost imagine Qianlong's fury when he learned the truth, and they were all on the cusp of this crisis.

The queen closed her eyes, stabilized her emotions, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that it is not appropriate to move now..."

But Qianlong couldn't listen to her words at all, he just looked at the queen with a dark look, and said: "I said to help me get up, isn't what I said no longer useful?"

Seeing that Qianlong was about to get up with his own arms, the queen suddenly changed her face, and rushed forward to stop Qianlong, saying: "Your Majesty, no! Your...back spine...is broken..." After finishing speaking, the queen couldn't help but He turned his head, tears streaming down his face.

Qianlong thought that if he came back from the gate of hell, he would be blessed if he survived the catastrophe, but now he seemed to be hit by a lightning bolt, and he was completely stunned.Although he doesn't know medical skills, he also knows what a broken spine means: "Zhen... What's wrong with Zhen?"

Qianlong had no way to accept the fact, he could only tilt his head and grabbed her hand with all his strength, there was still a little hope in his eyes, thinking maybe he had heard wrong.

The queen looked at the glint in Qianlong's eyes, choked with sobs and said, "The emperor's injury is the spine of the upper waist, the lower body... I'm afraid... I won't feel any more..."

Qianlong's eyes darkened, he let go of his hand suddenly, unable to breathe, the empress was so startled that he called for the imperial doctor repeatedly.

As the imperial doctor came in to give treatment in a panic and orderly way, the queen stepped aside, her mind faltered for a moment, just now she saw the hope in Qianlong's eyes turned into despair, it was undeniable that an uncontrollable joy surged up in her heart .

Brothers shouted one after another: "Huang Ama, Huang Ama..." The side hall where the concubines lived was also agitated.

The queen hid aside and cried uncontrollably, completely ignoring the chaotic scene.

Everyone was crying in panic, how could she behave calmly?Today's Qianlong can no longer use common sense to calculate. If she manages the palace in an orderly manner calmly, maybe in Qianlong's eyes, it will become a sign that she doesn't care about him and doesn't care about his life or death.Qianlong is almost crazy now, she doesn't have to choose to run into his muzzle at this time.

It took Qianlong a whole month to accept the fact that he was paralyzed.

He kept roaring and finding people to vent his anger on. The number of palace maids and eunuchs killed by him was no less than ten fingers, and the concubines who were fighting for favor also tremblingly did not dare to approach him.However, the feeling Qianlong lost below the waist could never be regained no matter what.

By the time Qianlong finally accepted the facts helplessly, he had already lost a lot of weight and looked ten years older.

The author has something to say: (continued)

Qianlong, who finally calmed down, issued an imperial edict, passing the throne to the seventh elder brother Yongcong.

At the same time, the third elder brother Yongzhang was also lifted from the foot restraint, and even promoted to the title of prince, becoming Prince He Shuoxun.

Having been emperor for decades, Qianlong knew the way of balance.He had to abdicate due to physical reasons, but it does not mean that he gave up his control over power**.Yong Cong's succession to the throne is orthodox, but the most important thing is that he is young and has little experience in governing, so he has to rely on his teachings.The purpose of promoting Yongzhang is to check and balance Yongcong, so as not to let Yongcong's family dominate and escape from his control.In this way, although he is the Supreme Emperor, he can still hold the power of life and death, so he will not be underestimated or ignored.

But, will things really develop smoothly according to Qianlong's plan?This is out of his control.
