[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Wei Rong returned to Changchun Palace.

Fortunately, today is the New Year's Eve, and the rest of the nuns and maids are not serving in the hall.

He told Yufu and Yulian not to reveal the matter of going out tonight, and sent them down to rest.

Wei Rong sat on the edge of the bed, thinking carefully.

She was not as optimistic as Yinzhen. From the terrifying and distorted face of the prince, she felt that the possibility of patricide was at least [-]% to [-]%.

If this is the case, the crown prince will kill someone to silence him. Although he used his golden finger to avoid his sight, Liang Jiugong and the other two young eunuchs knew that he had passed, once they got out...

Wei Rong held on to the pendant on her chest tightly, as a last resort, she could only rely on this to escape from the palace.You have to be extremely vigilant these two days.

***

When Yinzhen came out of the hall, the cold wind blew on his body, which was bitingly cold.

He quickly walked to the edge of the river. He never expected that so many things would happen in such an ordinary river.

A few years ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was pushed into the river here and nearly died, but fortunately, she came to his rescue.This is also the beginning of the fate of the two.

Several years later, Huang Ama actually fell into the water here again.

Although he refuted Wei Rong's statement, he was very clear that she was not a person who talked about it, especially when it involved such a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.It must have been discovered that the prince's performance is very different from ordinary people.

Yinzhen smiled wryly. In fact, just letting his father fall into the water without saving him is a great unfilial act, which is no different from killing the king.

The riverside was still messy, and dozens of guards were patrolling nearby.

Ling Wang, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led people to look around with lanterns on the bridge, and seemed to be looking for why the emperor fell.

Seeing Yinzhen coming, several people saluted one after another, among them Ling Wang said politely: "The fourth elder brother is also here, and the concubine De concubine also came up to check just now."

"Emiang is here too?" Yinzhen was a little surprised.

Looking in the direction pointed by Ling Wang, it turned out that on the other side of the bridge, Concubine De was standing under the corridor, and on the opposite side seemed to be an eunuch, who was answering.

Yinzhen got off the bridge, approached Concubine De, saw clearly the person standing opposite her, and suddenly trembled.

It was a tall and strong eunuch with an ordinary face and a fortitude.

Concubine De didn't expect Yinzhen to come over at this time, showing a look of surprise.

She took a step forward, blocking his probing sight, and raised her hand at the same time.

The eunuch behind him immediately bowed and retreated.

As the person recedes into the shadows, the face becomes blurred.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes, he heard his voice trembling with cold, "Why did Er Niang come here?"

"Just like you, I always feel that the matter of the emperor falling into the water is strange." Concubine De's voice was cold, "So I asked a few young eunuchs nearby."

"What did you ask?"

"No, although these people are working nearby, but it's cold and it's a festival, they are all resting indoors."

Yinzhen's expression was calm, "Er Niang, let's go back to Qianqing Palace, it's too cold outside."

"Alright." Concubine De nodded.

The conversation between mother and child has always been so concise.

Concubine De turned around, and the little maid standing in the distance hurriedly followed her.

Walking to the middle of the bridge, she slowed down her pace and turned her head to look. The son who would be powerful in the future was still standing in the opposite corridor, the shadow shrouded him, and the whole person was blurred.

Just like the current situation in front of you.

Concubine De's eyes were cold, she turned and left.

***

It wasn't until she was completely gone that Yinzhen weakly held on to the pillar, which was on the verge of falling.

As soon as Xiao Shengzi came back, he saw Yinzhen's face was livid and his lips were pale, he was shocked, the master must have been frozen.Hastily shook off the cloak he was carrying.

He wanted to put it on Yinzhen's shoulders, but he pushed it away.

"I'm fine." Yinzhen forced himself to calm down.

He looked at the pitch-black forest in the distance, his cold gaze seemed to ignite a flame.

"Check someone for me, the sooner the better."

The face of the little eunuch whom Concubine De concubine spoke to just now, even though it has been several years, even though it was just a glimpse, still has an inexplicable familiarity...

He really couldn't believe it, if that was the case, in this world, who else could he trust and rely on?

***

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the entire Qing Palace.

Even Wei Rong who returned to Changchun Palace couldn't sleep peacefully, laying on the bed and thinking over and over again about the route to escape from the palace.

In the early hours of the morning, just as she was a little confused, she was startled by a sound outside.

He sat up quickly. "What's wrong?"

Yufu came in with panic on his face, "I saw a group of soldiers passing by outside our Changchun Palace. There are probably hundreds of them all wearing armor and heading east."

Wei Rong bit her lip, no one knows who it belongs to!Since the eldest brother fell from power, the only one in the palace who can mobilize soldiers, horses and guards at will is the prince.

When Kangxi was on the verge of danger, he decided the outcome at one stroke. If he were the prince, he would make the same choice.

She was just worried that when the prince took power, he would definitely kill all the clues of that night, and most of them would implicate herself.

In the early morning, several guards came to Changchun Palace and warned everyone to close their doors and lock their houses and not to go out.

Fortunately, each palace has a small kitchen with drinking water.

After two days, the brief unrest subsided.Wei Rong also learned what happened in the past two days from the discussions between the nuns and the maids.

Kangxi was still hanging on his life, but he didn't wake up.

Wei Rong reckoned that it should be in a near-brain-dead vegetative state.If it is placed in later generations, it can still rely on nutritional injections to maintain its life for several years. In this era, it is estimated that it will be only a few days.

With the support of Suo'etu and others, the prince has fully taken over the government, and when Kangxi dies, he will succeed to the throne logically.

He has been the prince for more than 20 years, and he already occupies the orthodoxy. No one in the ruling and opposition parties is surprised.

In the next few days, Chaozhong was full of wind and clouds.

In the name of praying for Kangxi, the prince pardoned the world and promoted a large number of confidants.

Of course, he did not forget to win over the hearts of the people, he gave generous rewards to the important officials of the court, and even brought a few brothers to be promoted.

The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were directly promoted to first-class princes from the county king, and the seventh and eighth elder brothers were named county kings. The rest were too young, and they were all rewarded with rich land gold and silver.Demonstrate the benevolence and kindness of the prince.

For a while, the people of the ruling and opposition parties were at peace, and they all waited for Kangxi to die and the new emperor to ascend the throne.

If there was anyone in the harem who didn't like it, it would probably be Concubine Rong.

Because the prince thoroughly investigated what happened that night, and found out that the cloak that the third elder brother Yinzhi filially gave to the emperor was too long, and the emperor accidentally stepped on it when he got off the bridge, so he slipped and fell into the river.

Although the third elder brother didn't do it intentionally, he indirectly committed the crime of killing his father and king, and was demoted as the last general of Feng En and imprisoned in the mansion.

***

It seemed that everything was settled.

Wei Rong became more and more nervous. The stronger the crown prince's control over the court, the greater the possibility of her revealing her secrets.

Quietly, she had already packed her fleeing luggage, a small package of gold and silver melon seeds.It's just that Yufu and Yulian don't know how to arrange it, whether they should find an excuse to dismiss them.

While hesitating, she was sleeping on the couch late at night when suddenly the door was knocked a few times.

She had been sleeping very lightly these days and woke up immediately.

There was no one on duty in the room, so Wei Rong got up quietly and approached the door while holding the pendant.

Looking out from the gap, there was only one person, hunched over, wearing a heavy cloak, and there was no response for a long time. He called anxiously: "Weigge! Open the door, it's me!"

It's Liang Jiugong!

Unexpectedly, Wei Rong opened the door quietly.

Liang Jiugong immediately stepped in.

"Why is Director Liang here?" Wei Rong was surprised.

Liang Jiugong looked up at her, did not answer, but knelt on the ground with a plop.

Wei Rong was taken aback, and avoided to the side, "What are you doing, sir?"

"Relying on the emperor's favor, this old servant has never begged much in his life, and now he can only beg you."

Through the moonlight, Wei Rong could see that in just a few days, he had aged a lot, and most of his originally black hair had turned gray.The appearance of tears in his eyes at this time was even more unbearable.

Wei Rong deliberately said: "I don't know what the manager said?"

Liang Jiugong said directly, "Smart people don't speak dark words. Last time, the slave took Gege to face the saint. Gege is smart and wise, and the bystanders can see clearly. You should know that at that time, the prince is afraid that something is wrong. The emperor's falling into the water is not what it seems." Simple." He had limited time and could not afford to delay.

Wei Rong lowered her eyes, "I also have some guesses about this matter, but the manager knows that I have no power or power in this palace, and I can't protect myself. How can I help you?"

"The servant knows what Gege is worried about. I'm afraid the prince will know what Gege witnessed that day." Liang Jiugong said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Gege, the two who went to pick Gege up that day have been strangled by the slave. Now Gege went there that night The matter, God knows, you know, I know, and it will never fall into the eyes and ears of a third person."

Hearing that Liang Jiugong had killed the other two, Wei Rong's heart shuddered, and she immediately relaxed. She didn't have to escape from the palace for the time being.As long as Yufu and Yulian are kept secret.

"To tell you the truth, I have already obtained some evidence. Gege has nothing to ask for, except that when someone exposes this matter in the future, he can help."

"This……"

"Gege is a person with supernatural powers," Liang Jiugong lowered his voice,

Wei Rong was shocked, "You..."

Liang Jiugong smiled wryly, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask the slave to pick Gege up that day? It was because he heard about it and wanted to find out. Gege can rest assured that the slave has no intention of threatening or intimidating. It's just that the emperor was wronged by going to serve him." For the rest of his life, he will definitely not allow such a shadowy generation to inherit the throne."

While talking, he shed tears, and Wei Rong knew that just an hour ago, Kangxi finally passed away.

That's why Liang Jiugong took advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to come here to meet her.

At the beginning, he didn't believe in the saying that Wei Rong had the power of ghosts and gods, but when he thought about it carefully that day, the prince didn't notice when she was standing next to her, so he gradually believed it.

Liang Jiugong fell to his knees and solemnly kowtowed three times to Wei Rong.

"I have handed over the evidence of the prince's evil deeds to a trustworthy person. There will be trouble before the prince ascends the throne. I only hope that Ge Ge can lend a helping hand if necessary."

There was no way for Wei Rong to escape, so he could only vaguely say: "Please get up, father-in-law. If the situation goes well, I can help one or two."

Only then did Liang Jiugong get up, "If you have the words of Ge Ge, the slave will be relieved."

He didn't dare to stay any longer, took advantage of the darkness, put on his cloak and left.

Wei Rong looked at his back into the night, and her heart was full of ups and downs. Kangxi, who had ruled this huge empire for half a century, had just stepped down.Leaving the Qing court behind, in which direction will it go?

Will the throne that originally belonged to him go back?
