Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was extremely gloomy.

Ever since it was confirmed that the three elder brothers, the fourth elder brothers, the fifth elder brothers and the sixth elder brothers were indeed suffering from smallpox, Kangxi never had a smile on his face.

Smallpox was an incurable disease.

I don’t know how many people and clans’ lives are taken away every year, even the number of children who were taken away in the palace, so far there is no cure, only luck to survive.

But this time, four of them were folded in at one go!

The third elder brother was raised outside the palace, healthy and strong; not to mention the fourth elder brother, who just snatched his life back from the hands of black and white Shuangsha; The youngest sixth elder brother...

Closing his eyes, Kangxi seemed to be able to remember the scene of playing with the children in Chengqian Palace a few days ago.Bright smiles flashed in front of him, and Kangxi opened his eyes instantly.

He gasped for breath.

Kangxi didn't dare to think about it: these four children who were entangled by the smallpox disease... how many survived in the end?

The more heartbroken, the more Kangxi's anger grew.

Not only his empress dowager also swept away the usual gentle old lady's style, and held the palace power tightly in her hands again.

The concubines are as quiet as chickens.

The harem seems to be peeled off Hexi's warm outer skin in an instant, revealing the inner part that cannot be seen directly.

Concubine Hui of Yanxi Palace bears the brunt.

Not to mention being reprimanded by Kangxi, he was also ordered to self-examine in Yanxi Palace, the elder brother Yinti was anxious and angry.He trotted into the Palace of Yanxi Palace, his face was black and red: "Er Niang—you couldn't have done this, could you?"

if true...

How will I face the prince and my brothers in the future?

The elder brother Yinti was in a state of disarray.

He looked helplessly at Concubine Hui who was kneeling in the Buddhist hall, fearing that he would get a bad answer.

Concubine Hui's forehead was throbbing with blue veins.

She squinted at this silly son, and sneered: "Emiang is this kind of person in your heart? You get out of here and copy the scriptures to wake up your mind!"

The emperor is not so much catching himself.

It's more like doubting myself, and more like giving myself innocence - if I really have the courage to attack the four elder brothers, so what if I have Yinti by my side?I'm afraid he won't be rewarded with a piece of white silk directly!

Concubine Hui was very calm.

She does not deny that she has indeed placed some people in other palaces, but this is also a rainy day, and the heart of defense is indispensable.It's just Yinti, a stupid kid who rushes over eagerly when he hears some rumors, and he doesn't know who is being used as a gunman for the harem.

This stupid son really came out of his belly?

Didn't get dropped?Looking at Yinti's clear and handsome appearance, Concubine Hui gave a long sigh -- just looking at the face is indeed her own kind.Maybe it was because Ben Gong failed to discuss it with God when she was pregnant, and only gave Yinti face but no brains.

Yinti still doesn't know that Eniang is complaining about herself.

He was satisfied when he heard the answer. As for the second half of the sentence, which was copied from the scriptures, it entered from his left ear and came out from his right ear.Yinti turned around and rushed out of the Palace of Yanxi Palace in a hurry, muttering while running: "I want to ask Khan Ama to find out what happened!"

The eldest palace lady Dong Ling said urgently: "Master, why don't you ask someone to chase eldest elder brother back?"

Concubine Hui sneered.

She turned around and continued to pick up the Buddha beans: "My son is too old for me! Let him go, I want this palace to say that unless the emperor rewards him with a board, this kid won't be able to stop!"

The elder brother Yinti trotted to Qianqing Palace.

He asked to live in Yuqing Palace to take care of his younger brothers like the prince.

Kangxi: ...

As soon as he stopped moving his hands, his eyes turned to his elder brother Yinti quietly.

Advisor Xing and Liang Jiugong buried their heads deeply.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the sound of the chair being pushed away, followed by the emperor's angry rebuke, which was also mixed with the elder brother's rebuttal.

Big Brother is really brave!

Liang Jiugong raised his head slightly, just in time to see the emperor kicking the elder brother's ass, and shouted sharply: "Nonsense! You go back to my elder brother's place to study. If you fail in the spot check, I will give you a reward." Beat the board!"

The big brother Yinti's confidence just now disappeared instantly.

He reluctantly agreed, and walked out dejectedly. If he had a tail, it would be hanging between his legs at this moment.Yinti turned his head three times at every step, with a trace of expectation in his eyes, hoping to get Kangxi's approval before leaving.

Agree with the fart!It's useless to be pitiful.

The Empress Dowager had been nagging for a long time about releasing the four little elder brothers who had smallpox to Yuqing Palace.If you let big brother go in again, will you still have a way out?Kangxi watched Yinti leave, he shook his head and focused on the imperial case again.

There are so many things in the previous dynasty.

The battle in Taiwan is raging, and there are still sporadic bandits in various places that need to be suppressed, and there are news of frequent invasions from the Raksha Kingdom in the northwest.

The strict investigation of the harem is not over yet.

How could the four elder brothers get smallpox together?The Empress Dowager was ruthless and ruthless, and all palace officials who had contact with the four elder brothers in the past few days were subject to investigation.

On the other side, the imperial physicians also made new discoveries.

At first they suspected that the four elder brothers were wearing changed clothes, but after checking that these clothes had been kept in the warehouse, the four palace servants who took out the clothes did not leave the sight of others, and it took only a moment to get the clothes.

Just when the investigation was stuck in a bottleneck, a palace lady in the harem who suddenly had a high fever and rash attracted everyone's suspicious attention.It was determined that she also had smallpox!More importantly, after repeated checks by the imperial doctors, they confirmed that the smallpox symptoms of this court lady were very similar to those of your elder brothers!

Nine times out of ten it comes from the same thing.

Kangxi and the Empress Dowager turned their gazes to this court lady.

After a rigorous investigation, the results finally came to fruition. This person only had contact with the four elder brothers once—that was in the imperial garden on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

With clues, there is the possibility of following the clues.

The Forbidden City could no longer maintain its calm appearance like deep water. The originally turbulent situation turned into a turbulent wave in an instant, stirring up a bloody storm.The two giants in the palace fought together, and a large group of palace people were cleared out in just three or four days. It is said that the execution ground was stained red with blood.

But the murderer behind the scenes is looming and no trace can be found.

Seeing that the four sons had been ill for five days, Kangxi finally couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart.He took Liang Jiugong secretly to the outside of Yuqing Palace, and after pondering for a moment, the guards who still waved their handles pushed open the gate with trembling hands.

The only good thing is that no bad news has reached my ears so far-at least it means that the four children are still safe, right?Kangxi walked towards the hall step by step with a feeling of uneasiness.

During the period, it was discovered that the movements and voices of the emperor's palace people were all silenced. Kangxi didn't want to disturb anyone, but just wanted to take a sneak peek... a peek.

Just see how they are?

Kangxi's thoughts were like a mess, and soon he walked through the long corridor to the inner room, and ahead was the place where the elder brothers lived temporarily.Kangxi stopped walking, closed his eyes and secretly cheered himself up for a moment before opening his eyes again, walking forward with a firm expression.

Kangxi exerted a little force with his hands, and he pushed open the door.

The scene inside made Kangxi slightly startled, and he slowly closed the door again, then tilted his head: "Zhen... did I read it wrong?"

Liang Jiugong also had a strange expression.

He hesitated for a moment but did not dare to answer directly, and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, why don't we take another look?"

"Yes, yes, take another look."

Kangxi pushed open the door again, he looked forward intently and then fell into silence.

Prince Yinreng and his four elder brothers either sat cross-legged on the ground, or sprawled on the ground, swinging their short legs—they didn't take medicine or lie down to rest, but concentrated on what was in front of them.

Kangxi took two steps forward.

Placed among the five people was a wooden box in the shape of a five-pointed star, which was different from ordinary boxes with circular holes drilled in an orderly manner.There are also many precious stones placed on the hole: metallic oriental pearls, snow-white pearls, malachite with gradual changes, sapphires as deep as the sea, and golden golden beads.

The five colors seem to represent five players.

The prince and the five elder brothers had a good time playing, and they didn't notice Kangxi's appearance at all.

Kangxi: ...

Feeling inexplicably stupid for being indecisive these days?He stood on the spot and stared blankly. The fact that the elder brothers didn't find out doesn't mean the palace people didn't notice. Zhao Shunping and the others who came out of the room with the concoction were really startled: "Emperor, Your Majesty!?"

The five of them froze.

Immediately afterwards, they slowly raised their heads, and at the same time saw Khan Ama with an uncertain expression behind/in front of him.Prince Yinreng jumped up from the ground with a whoosh, and brought his younger brothers to greet Kangxi.

He looked calm as if nothing had happened.

If Kangxi hadn't just seen the scene where the prince Yinreng was having fun with the four younger elder brothers, he would have thought that the previous scene was all his own dream.

While thinking casually, Kangxi looked up at the children.The third elder brother Yinzhi, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, and the sixth elder brother Yinzuo seemed to be in good spirits, but the traces of herpes still existing on their cheeks and necks indicated that they were still ill.

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to be alive and kicking, full of energy!This is a good sign!Thinking of this, Kangxi looked up at Yinzhen again, his eyelids twitched several times.

It's not that Yinzhen's complexion is bad.

Instead, the kid lowered his head and said nothing, but secretly stretched out a foot trying to push the wooden box away.The jewels on the wooden box were dangling, and as he moved away, Yinzhen kicked it several times as if he was not satisfied.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows high.

Before he could ask what happened, the Fifth and Sixth Brothers also noticed Fourth Brother's tricks, and they became anxious immediately: "Ah! Fourth Brother, you are playing tricks!"

Yin Zhen felt guilty.

He retracted his legs with a swipe, and looked around with his hands behind his back: "I, I, I didn't do anything."

"You were about to lose just now!"

"Yes, obviously there are no chess pieces here."

The fifth elder brother Yinqi and the sixth elder brother Yinzuo chattered endlessly around Yinzhen. The noisy scene made Kangxi's heart suddenly drop when he was hanging in mid-air. There was a look of joy on his face, and he looked up at Zhao Shunping who was following closely. Doctor Chang who came in: "Doctor Chang, how are the three elder brothers, the fourth elder brothers, the fifth elder brothers, and the sixth elder brothers?"

It must be all right after all, right?

Doctor Chang's expression was weird, he replied in a low voice that I will report to the emperor later, and then told the elder brothers to drink the medicine separately.

It is not an easy task to let the four elder brothers drink medicine, but who let Kangxi be present today.After he rewarded Yinzhen's butt a few times, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fifth elder brother Yinqi and the sixth elder brother Yinzuo suddenly lost the courage to resist, and each of them became better than the other, sitting obediently and drinking the bitter concoction for a while. drink up.

Prince Yinreng had already prepared all kinds of candies.

After the younger brothers finished drinking the concoction, he stuffed candy into their mouths one by one with his own hands, barely pacifying their hurt feelings.

But Kangxi's mood is not high.

Imperial Physician Chang's stern face made him a little uneasy. Just as he stepped into the side hall, Kangxi saw Imperial Physician Chang kneeling on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty! Brothers, you are still in danger."

Kangxi's heart quickly sank to the bottom of the valley.

There was a buzzing sound in his mind, and Kangxi without hesitation found the Imperial Hospital and the envoys to judge a few people—however, the answers given by every imperial doctor were very consistent.

The four elder brothers are all in a critical period.

Then worse news came from the harem. The court lady who was diagnosed with smallpox failed to survive and died that night.
