[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Kangxi wanted to send someone over to ask him carefully, but before he had time, he fell ill first.

When the new year was approaching, he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship his ancestors, and he contracted a cold. On the way back, he developed a fever and coughed continuously.

All the princes and empress dowagers went in to serve the sick.

The prince was especially respectful, he couldn't take off his clothes, and stayed up all night.

In order to let Kangxi recover as soon as possible, he even came up with the method of cutting flesh to heal his wounds.Although Kangxi stopped him after hearing about it, he was still praised by the ruling and opposition parties.

Of course Wei Rong who was in Changchun Palace didn't know this.

The day was over and he returned to the East Palace. The prince was exhausted and slumped on the chair, and four or five servants immediately stepped forward to serve him.

The two eunuchs hurriedly squeezed their shoulders and beat their legs.

The little maid held the teacup and brought it directly to the prince's lips.

The prince closed his eyes and drank a couple of sips, and raised his hand when his fatigue subsided.

Everyone retreated immediately.

The prince said listlessly: "Gu is really tired these days, if this goes on, Huang Ama will fall down before Huang Ama gets hurt."

The staff hurriedly comforted: "Your Highness's filial piety in the past few days has been noticed by both the emperor, the government and the public, who wouldn't praise your filial piety and move the heavens."

Several staff members took turns flattering.

The prince's irritability was relieved a little, and they also retreated.

In the empty study room, the prince looked at the dark sky outside, and after dinner, he had to go back to show his filial piety.

Still have to go, not to go is to give up the place to others.

Thinking of the caring look of the third elder brother in front of Huang Ama's bed during the day, wishing to replace it with his own body, the prince felt sick for a while.

However, Huang Ama has been particularly fond of his tricks recently.

How long is this going to last.It would be great if Huang Ama died of illness this time!

Suddenly, this thought entered his mind, and the prince's body trembled.

He couldn't help turning his head to look around, making sure that there was no one there, and then gradually relaxed.

I couldn't help laughing at myself, as expected, the elder brother was ruthless enough!

No poison, no husband!

Even if I have this kind of thought, I just think about it.

***

The illness came and fell like a mountain, and the illness went like a spinning thread. After recuperating for half a month, Kangxi's illness improved.

It's New Years Eve in a blink of an eye.

The palace prepares a banquet as usual.This year, too many things have happened from the former dynasty to the harem, and many old faces have disappeared, but the banquet is still lively and joyful.

Especially when Kangxi enfeoffed all the elder brothers a few years ago, and promoted many concubines in the harem, nobleman Mi was officially listed as one of the six concubines, filling the vacancy left by Xi's death.The rest of Jin Feng are all noble people who are often present.

Among the high-ranking concubines, only Concubine De was promoted to Noble Concubine. Although Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong were not enfeoffed, they both received grand rewards. In addition, their son won the enfeoffment, which was more affordable than anything else, so everyone was beaming.

Halfway through the banquet, Kangxi withdrew from the table to change his clothes.

When I came out and saw the snow falling outside, I walked outside on a whim.

Liang Jiugong quickly followed with several people carrying lanterns.

After a short walk to the east, I saw an arch bridge standing on the river, and the lights in the small compartment in the center of the bridge were dim.

Kangxi suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was on this bridge that he met the Song family and the Wei family.One of the two is delicate and naive, the other is bright and sweet, fat and thin, each with its own fragrance.

Thinking of Wei Rong, he remembered what the third elder brother told him some time ago.

Yinti, that evil beast, determined with all his heart that the Wei family was some kind of monster.Although he didn't fully believe it, he still had some doubts.

When the thought came to him, he turned his head and ordered: "Go and call Wei Shi to me, and go there quietly."

Wei Rong's status is special now, it's hard for outsiders to see her, so Liang Jiugong personally led the two young eunuchs to Changchun Palace.

Kangxi pushed back the guards who followed him, went up the stairs alone, and entered the gazebo.

His eyes fell on the handrail, and he remembered that the two girls carved the snowman here.The snowman who resembles himself is still fresh in his memory.

At that time, the Song family and the Wei family were so innocent and beautiful, who would have expected that after a few years, they would both become hideous.

Kangxi sighed, fortunately, there was another draft in spring, and I wonder if there will be real beauties coming in.

Just as she was deep in thought, a voice called from behind, "Huang Ama, why are you here?"

Looking back, it was the third elder brother Yinzhi standing under the bridge.

Yinzhi came up in a hurry, seeing that Kangxi's clothes were not thick, he said with concern on his face: "Huang Ama, you just recovered from the cold, how can you blow the cold wind here?"

While talking, he hurriedly took off the cloak he was wearing, held it with both hands, bowed and said: "My son is arrogant, and the clothes are simple, please use it for the time being. My son will ask Manager Liang to send a suitable one."

In fact, Kangxi was wearing a two-layer cashmere inner shirt, so he didn't feel cold, but his son expressed his filial piety, and he accepted it with peace of mind.

Yinzhi put it on for him with his own hands, and said with concern: "Why are the waiters not here? It's freezing cold and the wind is strong on the river. Huang Ama might as well go back earlier."

Kangxi nodded and said approvingly, "You have a heart." Then he said, "I was thinking about something here, so I let them step aside. You should also step back first."

The matter of Wei Rong is a secret, even Yinzhi doesn't know that the former Wei Changzai is still alive.According to the outside world, the one educated in the Changchun Palace was only a concubine daughter of the Guo Luoluo clan, who was going to marry the north, but because of lack of etiquette, she was summoned by Concubine Yi to the palace and assigned someone to teach her.

Yinzhi had no choice but to back down.

Kangxi stood at the end of the bridge and continued to wait.

***

Wei Rong was talking to Yufu in front of the charcoal basin.

Unexpectedly, Liang Jiugong came to the door at this hour.

Hearing that Kangxi summoned him at this hour, Wei Rong was surprised.

Liang Jiugong looked at Wei Rong, secretly surprised in his heart, he is Kangxi's confidant, most of the secrets are clear to him, elder brother Yinti identified this Wei family as a monster.He must have been stunned by himself.This Wei family came from a clean background, and he didn't make any mistakes after entering the palace.

But it is a bit strange that his appearance is exactly like that of Ce Wang's dead wife.

Wei Rong had no choice but put on a thick cloak and followed Liang Jiugong out of Changchun Palace.

***

Halfway through the banquet, the prince was a little tipsy from drinking, and after watching Huang Ama leave the banquet, the third elder brother Yinzhi impatiently followed him out.

He snorted coldly in his heart, this sycophant, even Huang Ama didn't let go when she was changing clothes, did she want to serve her with a urinal?

He complained viciously. He felt that he drank too much and felt a little dizzy, so he simply withdrew from the table.

As soon as the cold wind blew outside, he woke up a lot, but the depression in his chest did not disappear at all.

He took only a young eunuch with him, and he walked eastward.

Walking through a grove of plum blossoms, he stopped and narrowed his eyes looking at the figure on the arch bridge in the distance.

The back of the cloak is very familiar, the white crane with wings embroidered with silver thread is his annoying third brother!

Hehe, I thought he was going to flatter Huang Ama, why did he come over this bridge alone.

Thinking of the secret schemes and schemes that the third elder brother had done behind the scenes, the prince became more and more resentful.

Asking the little eunuch to wait under the bridge, he walked forward slowly, but the third elder brother in front seemed to be preoccupied and did not hear him approaching.

When people are intoxicated, they will behave uncontrollably and stupidly.

The prince came up maliciously, and couldn't help but shove "Third Elder Brother" behind.

Let this bastard fall into the snow below!It's a good wind and cold, let's see how he can add trouble to Gu.

Kangxi was contemplating when he was suddenly pushed from behind, and fell down with a cry of surprise.

Because of the heavy snow in the past few days, the surface of the river has been frozen, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on it. He landed on it, but because the ice layer was not thick, and he himself was heavy, he actually smashed through the ice layer and fell into the ground. in the river.

When the prince heard the exclamation, he realized that the sound was wrong, and when he took a look, his wits flew out of his mind.

He is obviously the third elder brother, but how did he become Huang Ama!

The prince couldn't believe it, he held on to the railing and desperately opened his eyes wide.

Kangxi fell into the water, struggling to turn his head, and met the prince's eyes.

He glared at the prince, his eyes were about to burst.

The prince was trembling with fear when he saw him, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

Kangxi wanted to scold and call for help, but cold water poured in, and he coughed repeatedly due to choking.

Falling into the icy water, his physical strength was lost rapidly. Originally, he had just recovered from the cold, and his body was still weak. At this time, the overwhelming cold surrounded his whole body, sealed his mouth and nose, and his whole body was stiff, and it was difficult to speak.

The cashmere underwear soaked up enough ice water and bound people like iron hoops.

But in order to see Wei Rong, he sent the few palace guards with him far away.

There was no one around to serve.

He tried his best to make an ah ah sound, while desperately breaking off the ice, struggling towards the river.

The prince scrambled down the bridge and rushed to the river, frantically trying to pull him up, but he couldn't reach him, so he hurriedly picked up a branch by the bridge.Stretched it in front of Kangxi, pulled it twice, because the person was too heavy, he was pulled and fell to the ground.

He fell on the ice, but he was close to Kangxi, and Kangxi grabbed his fingers.

The crown prince looked up, Kangxi's face turned livid due to the low temperature, his eyes were cold like a ghost.

The prince suddenly chattered, and the secret thought in his mind resurfaced again.

It would be great if Huang Ama died!

Kangxi's hands and feet were stiff, and he tried his best to grab the prince's hand but couldn't use his strength, and slid down in vain.

The prince struggled to get up, half of his body was soaked.

Kangxi stretched out his hand to him again, and the only one who could give him a hand was this son.

However, the prince took a step back and lowered his head.

Kangxi's heart was broken, all this was only in an instant, but it seemed as long as half a lifetime.

Countless images flashed through his mind. When he was young, he hugged this son-in-law who was hard-won, and loved him very much. In the future, I will inherit my position and become a wise king, but in the end...

The prince was confused and then took two steps back. In this short moment, he was more difficult than Kangxi who fell into the river and was dying.

At this time, a sudden exclamation resounded through the world.

"Your Majesty!!!"
