Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

The news of the maid's death weighed heavily on Kangxi's heart.He was full of worries, and couldn't help but go to Yuqing Palace the next day after the court, lest he get news that his elder brothers were suddenly seriously ill.

As soon as he entered the gate of Yuqing Palace, Kangxi heard a burst of laughter.Walking two steps to the backyard, I saw the sons who were in danger chasing and dancing in the yard, seeing that one was more energetic than the other.The flowerpot toys around were all shaken out of shape, and seeing the four little guys seemed to have inspired some kind of house-breaking attribute.

Kangxi: ...

It seems that I don't have to worry about getting news of a sudden serious illness for a while.A faint smile appeared on his face, he turned and left without disturbing the children's fight.

I will never allow it.

Never allow anyone to hurt any child again!

All the imperial doctors were also puzzled by this.

It is obviously very dangerous in terms of pulse condition, but if it is replaced by other people, they can only lie on the bed and watch the god of fate cast dice to choose life and death.But no matter the slightly older third elder brother or the youngest sixth elder brother, they are all full of energy now, and it is His Royal Highness who looks the most tired.

The exhausted Prince Yinfeng: ...

He put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.Yinfeng felt that his physical strength had been declared zero, and he looked at Chang Yuyi expressionlessly: "Master Chang, why does Gu think that the most patient among the five present is Gu?"

Physician Chang: ...

Looking at the four elder brothers who were so energetic and devastated the flowers and plants, and looking at His Highness the Crown Prince with a tired face and dark eyes, Imperial Physician Chang always felt that something was wrong.

Yinzhen's ears moved.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: [This is all thanks to Brother Ben~]

Although most of the functions of the main god space cannot be used, the existence of non-superpowers such as vaccines is still easy to obtain.It looks like he is still suffering from smallpox, but in fact, whether it is the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, or the sixth elder brother, he is now the same as himself, as healthy as a calf!

Empress Renxiao nodded heavily: [It's all Yinzhen's relationship. ] If it wasn’t for this child, I’m afraid of the fate of the remaining three children...

One hand patted Yinzhen's back heavily.

Yinzhen looked back in astonishment, only to see the sixth elder brother Yinzuo rushing to the side with short legs: "Fourth brother, what are you doing in a daze? Now you are the ghost!"

"Damn it! Stop for me!"

"It's an idiot to stop, isn't it—?"

Empress Renxiao watched Yinzhen and the others playing tenderly, then she turned her eyes to the palace servants in the corner, an ominous red appeared in her dark eyes.

It is precisely because of this.

Only then can she relax and take a look—who is behind the scenes! ! ! ! !

Yinzhen did not notice the changes in Empress Renxiao.

He joined the fighting among the brothers, and it didn't come to an end until the fifth elder brother and sixth elder brother were exhausted from playing and were escorted back to the room by the palace guards to rest.The third elder brother Yinzhi was full of energy, he decided to read the books, trying to catch up with the fourth younger brother's study progress, Yinzhen only let out a chuckle for the third elder brother's declaration.

He chose to draw a picture and handed it to the eunuch Zhao Shunping: "Give it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them make it quickly."

Zhao Shunping looked down.

A question mark slowly appeared on his forehead - is this a painting?The eunuch Zhao Shunping rubbed his hands: "Si elder brother, this, this, and this, what are these?"

Except for the first one, which looks like a swing, I don't know the others.

Yinzhen was not very satisfied with him: "This is a seesaw, the middle is fixed and the two sides can swing up and down."

Zhao Shunping reluctantly saw the appearance.

He pointed to the next one: "Then what is it that looks like a basket? And what are the black dots underneath?"

"It's not a basket, it's a ball frame."

Yinzhen sighed with his hands behind his back, and shook his head like an old pedant: "Take a taller...well, a ten-foot-high wooden frame, and put a woven ball frame on the top. The dots are leather balls, and the size should be the same as the ball. The frame fits just right, you can drop it if you drop it in."

The eunuch Zhao Shunping was silent for a moment.

He tentatively asked in a low voice, "What is a ball...?"

Don't you have a ball?

Yinzhen held his face in shock, his horrified expression made Zhao Shunping think that he had said something wrong.Thinking about the ball again, the ball must be made of leather. Before Yinzhen could speak again, Zhao Shunping immediately responded respectfully: "I understand, I will arrange for people to prepare it."

Only Yinzhen stretched out his hand.

He murmured: "If you don't have a ball, you can replace it with a sandbag."

This toy will not be made in a short while.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen's eyes turned to the yawning prince who decided to go back to the study to rest.

Prince Yinfeng sneezed.

Needless to say, he turned his head and looked at Yinzhen who was coming closer, showing a helpless smile: "Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"

"Hee hee, second brother and minister have an idea."

Yinzhen hugged Prince Yinreng's arm, rolling his eyes: "Second brother, second brother, let's do it together!"

Every time you call yourself a courtier, it's always bad.Prince Yinfeng had no words to say, but in the face of Yinzhen's coquettishness, he had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender: "What are you going to do?"

"The story book told by the prince's second brother"

Yinzhen said cheerfully, "Shall we make a picture album?"

Yinrong was taken aback for a moment: "Picture book?"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes lit up: "If it is made into a picture book, the fifth and sixth brothers can read it by themselves."

"You can also enlighten them."

Yinzhen snickered: "After two years, I can go to study in the study room (#^.^#)"

Prince Yinfeng: ...

He said with difficulty: "It's not like—"

Seeing the black lilies blooming behind Yinzhen, Prince Yinreng quickly changed his words: "Yes, Yinzhen is right, this is really a good idea!"

On the one hand, Yinzhen, who had some kind of evil idea because of entering school too early, is gearing up, trying to extend his claws to the younger brothers, and on the other hand, Kangxi is also stepping up the investigation of this matter in full swing, but as time goes by. The concubines couldn't help it either.

They don't know the situation of the elder brothers, and the death of the maid is enough to make the concubines terrified.The court ladies are old and healthy and have not survived the smallpox, so what about their children?Concubine Yi, Concubine De and Concubine Rong seemed to have the scene of children crying and struggling in their minds, and their hearts ached when they thought about it.

The three of them gathered in Chengqian Palace at the same time, and they all said together: "Imperial Concubine, we can't wait any longer, we have to work together to find an answer!"

No more words can be said.

It's just that Concubine Tong also saw the suspicion of the three of them—is there something hidden behind the fact that they haven't found out the truth for a long time, for example, will His Royal Highness be involved?But for the reputation of His Royal Highness, should we wait?What if what we're waiting for... is news of the brothers' deaths?

Concubine Tonghuang didn't hesitate.

She closed her eyes and replied softly, "Okay."

Empress Renxiao died of a blood collapse, and the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince contracted smallpox is still vivid in my mind.What is even less known is that Empress Xiaozhao also lost her qualifications to be a mother during her lifetime. The two favorite concubines who once favored the harem disappeared in the harem. Even the noble concubine Tong Huang herself was warned, don't be blinded by power .

And now who is covered up?

The overly worried concubines put all their thoughts into investigating the case, and their speed of action was no less than that of the empress dowager who started the investigation a few days in advance.

Concubine De is good at recording.

She was born in a family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she is familiar with the messy kinship among the palace people.

Concubine Yi is good at tricks.

She has a bright and generous personality, arrogant but not out of place, and the palace people follow her master's personality and make a lot of friends.All concubine De's investigation found doubts, and the palace servants under Concubine Yi will conduct investigation and verification.

Concubine Tonghuang is good at checking and verifying.

After the two rounds of inspections by Concubine De and Concubine Yi, if there is any suspect, Concubine Tong will go out and make a final visit to confirm.

As for Concubine Rong...

She served tea and water silently, and waved hand-cranked flowers to cheer the three of them along the way. It was really a mascot.

The action of Chengqian Palace instantly triggered changes in the palace.

When a gear speeds up in a machine, it is unavoidable that the whole machine speeds up.Such abnormal movements and the fact that Concubine Yi, Concubine De and Concubine Rong stayed in the palace for two or three days, naturally attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager and Kangxi.

Kangxi said bitterly: "They don't believe me."

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and quietly watched the investigation results in front of her: "But they guessed it right again."

The culprit is really the Hershey who was relegated to promise.

Kangxi clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it hard on the sons: "They are both Kabra's daughters, how can the Hesheli family be so different from Suhua?"

The prince treats his brothers kindly.

However, the Hershey family was behind. How would the prince get along with his brothers when this matter got out?

The Empress Dowager scolded in a low voice: "One is a prostitute daughter, the other is a concubine daughter, one was brought up by Soni himself, and the other was raised in the courtyard of the inner house. The emperor regards them as the same, which is an insult to benevolence and filial piety."

Kangxi was startled, and murmured: "It's my fault."

The empress dowager is in a bad mood, but this matter must be resolved.She turned to look at the emperor: "Has the emperor thought about it?"

"Hesheli promised not to stay."

Kangxi said lightly: "As for the matter of the Hesheli family wanting to send another beautiful girl into the palace, let it be."

The Empress Dowager nodded.

She called Su Mala vigorously and motioned for her to hand over the investigation materials to Concubine Tonghuang.As for Kangxi, he stood up and walked towards Yuqing Palace - how to tell Yinreng about this has become a big problem.

After receiving the information sent by the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong was slightly stunned.She stroked the booklet in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Su Mala, this is..."

Su Mala said warmly: "It was only found out today. The emperor and the empress dowager discussed it just now, and ordered the servants to send it to the imperial concubine to have a look."

Concubine Tong raised her eyebrows.

She responded thoughtfully, and watched Su Mala leave before getting together with the other three concubines to check.

Hesheli agreed.

The five big characters fell into the eyes of the four people.

"Didn't she get sick after being demoted?"

"The emperor didn't want her life, but some people outside the palace couldn't wait!"

Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi said one after the other.

Isn't the status of the concubine connected with the previous dynasty?As a member of the Hershey family, when she was reduced to promise, she completely lost her value.

The emperor just demoted her to confine her.

In the eyes of the Hesheli family, the Hesheli family who has lost its value is just a stain, a flaw, and it will be a roadblock for the next Hesheli family to enter the palace.

And Hershey's serious illness.

I'm afraid that it's not the emperor who made the move, but the clansman who made Hesheli promise to die earlier with all his heart.

Concubine De didn't say a word.

It's just that the coldness emanating from the bottom of the pupils made the three of Concubine Tong and Concubine Tong tremble at the same time.Her slender and soft fingers lightly tapped on the name, and her voice perfectly overlapped with the beating of her heart: "...Revenge?"

A madman's revenge is unreasonable.

They will not feel that it is their own fault, they will only blame others for their mistakes, and hate the world and others.

The only fault is others not yourself!

Thinking of this possibility, the eyes of Concubine Tong and the others froze.Hesheli promised that she was the concubine of Chuxiu and the aunt of the crown prince of Yuqing Palace, if there is someone on hand...

but……

Another question rolled in my mind.

Since Hesheli promised to be a chess piece abandoned by the Hesheli family, how could she control the palace servants to attack several elder brothers?

Concubine Yi is straightforward.

She blurted out: "There are others among them!?"

While the four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, the atmosphere in Chengqian Palace froze in an instant.Will the emperor and empress dowager not know?There was only one reason why they didn't move, the other party was someone who couldn't move for the time being.

Concubine Tong Huang was silent for a moment.

She first said categorically: "This matter cannot be done by the prince."

Yi Fei curled her lips.

As for Concubine De and Concubine Rong, they still tend to believe in Concubine Tong's conjecture.It's just that they are concubines in the harem after all, and they don't know anything about the previous affairs. The four of them pondered for a long time but they couldn't think of a suspect, and they could only break up in dismay.

Concubine Tong Huanggui was left alone to think.

She tapped the table with her fingertips, muttering in her heart.

Is it... Soetu?

Or Nalan Pearl?

Or... someone else?

Concubine Tong frowned slightly, she looked at the direction of Yuqing Palace worriedly for a long time, and finally decided to copy another volume of Buddhist scriptures.

Kangxi also felt heavy.

He stepped up and walked slowly into Yuqing Palace, still thinking about how to explain this matter to the crown prince, when he bumped into Yinzhen who was like a cannonball.

Kangxi's temples throbbed.

He yelled with a dark face: "Yinzhen, I told you not to run around!"

Unexpectedly, when Yinzhen saw him, his eyes lit up.

Yinzhen's voice was clear and loud: "Ama Khan! Save the sixth brother quickly, the queen mother said that Hesheli agreed to do it, and said that the maid next to the sixth brother is a villain!"

Kangxi's pupils suddenly shrank.

He put his hands heavily on Yinzhen's shoulders: [Did you dream of your empress mother again? ]

Yinzhen nodded heavily.

He just went to rest, but he didn't expect that Queen Renxiao would give him such a deafening news.Without even having time to think about it, Yinzhen immediately rushed to the study to look for Prince Yinreng.

I just didn't expect to meet Khan Ama just by chance.

Prince Yinfeng, who heard the voice and walked out of the study, also changed his expression.

The murderer is Hesheli promised?

Does he still have her helper in his own Yuqing Palace?This shocking news made Prince Yinreng unable to regain his senses, and he stood on the spot in a daze.

Kangxi didn't care about the prince's thoughts.

With a serious face, he suppressed the palace servants who served Yinzuo, and then Yinzhen pointed out a few palace servants who were also a little cautious under the reminder of Empress Renxiao.

It even matches the number on the list one by one.

While Kangxi was shocked, he no longer doubted that Yinzhen could dream of Empress Renxiao.

As more and more people were arrested in Yuqing Palace, Prince Yinreng's heart sank all the way to the bottom, and other thoughts appeared in his heart.

Just because Hesheli promised...can it be done?

Are there other ideas in it?For example... grandpa! ?Thinking of this possibility, Prince Yinreng's heart felt as if he was being squeezed into a ball by the palms of his hands, and he couldn't help talking to the barrage when he was sleeping at night.

Empress Renxiao knew this would happen.

Seeing the confusion in Prince Yinreng's words, she persuaded gently: "Why didn't the little prince tell the emperor about this?" ]

[How can I talk to Khan Ama? ]

Yinfeng tugged at the quilt: [Gu is the prince, the one who will inherit the country in the future. Khan Ama has told Gu several times that as a prince Gu must be strong, and he cannot cry and let others understand Gu's thoughts. ]

[But you cried a few days ago. ]

[…] Prince Yinreng's expression froze.

[And the imperial doctor and fourth elder brother also saw it? ]

[…] is too true for Yinfeng to refute.

This arrogant little appearance made Empress Renxiao laugh out loud.She frowned and entered again: [You are only eight years old now, and it is natural for an eight-year-old child to cry. If you really want to make others unable to see your thoughts, there will be time when the time comes. ]

[Khan Ama has inherited the throne when he was eight years old——]

[But the emperor is still alive and healthy, and you don't need to be like him at all. ] Queen Renxiao expressed her thoughts seriously, and hit a crit: [You can achieve full marks at the age of eight, so when you are waiting, will the emperor give up the throne to you? ]

Empress Renxiao's words were extremely heartbreaking.

The words that Prince Yinreng wanted to say before disappeared in an instant, his pupils constricted suddenly, the blood all over his body seemed to congeal in an instant, and this barrage kept circling in his mind.

If it is eight years old, it will be full marks.

When it's time for you, is it the only way for the emperor to cede the throne to you?

Khan Ama is in good health.

Prince Yinreng didn't chat with Danmaku any more, he stared straight up and gradually fell into deep thought.

If so... what should I do?

Empress Renxiao looked at Yinfeng who was sleepless all night with distress.

Wake him up now.

It's better than being beaten to death in reality in the future.

Yinzhen became emperor in the correct history.

Yinfeng was more than [-] years old when he was deposed, and he was at a strong and healthy age, but the emperor was gradually getting old at that time.What would the frail emperor think when he saw his courtiers surrounding the young, flawless crown prince?

When you know that Kangxi has lived for so long.

Empress Renxiao knew that there was a big problem with Yinreng's education from the very beginning!

Just after several palace servants from Yuqing Palace were taken away, the condition of the four young elder brothers also began to improve rapidly, and within three or four days all the scabs fell off.At this speed, even the well-informed imperial doctors could not understand it. In the end, they could only use the reason that the four little elder brothers had the protection of the emperor to announce the good news of their recovery.

It's just that before the concubines could celebrate this great event, news came out from Yuqing Palace that the prince fell ill.When Kangxi heard the news, he immediately dispatched the envoy Zhou Yuyi to visit him. The reply from the other party made Kangxi startled: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is depressed and angry. Apart from taking medicine, you have to be at ease."

The prince who is only eight years old is actually depressed?

Could it be that the four younger brothers made trouble?Kangxi muttered secretly, when he arrived at Yuqing Palace, he saw the blushing prince, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who looked like he was wet and dry the towel, and then put it on the prince's head.

"Yinzhen, are you the only one here?"

"The third brother, the fifth brother and the sixth brother go back to greet the mother and concubines first, and will come back later." Yinzhen said obediently.

Kangxi reached out to touch Yinzhen's little head.

As for the return of the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, he will not comment for the time being.Even if they are willing to come back, Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine De will not give up is still a big problem!

Kangxi turned his attention to the prince again.

Even though he was asleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were completely black - how could this child look like this?

Yinzhen pulled the corner of Kangxi's clothes: "Khan Ama."

Kangxi managed to pull himself together: "Huh?"

Yinzhen raised his head slightly: "Since the day when the minister said that the maid next to the sixth brother was a villain, the second brother has been preoccupied, as if he has harmed us."

He lowered his eyes.

Yinzhen added vigorously: "Obviously the second elder brother of the crown prince is so kind to us, it must not be him who did it."

Kangxi's voice choked.

He stretched out his hand to rub Yinzhen's head, and said in a gentle voice, "Of course it wasn't done by your prince's second brother."

The three brothers who happened to leave at this moment came back again.

The sixth elder brother Yin Zuo shouted energetically: "I send my greetings to Khan Ama."

The short, chubby little guy still wants to play a thousand.

Kneeling on one knee, he rolled on the ground like a ball, and was grabbed by the collar of the back collar by the third elder brother Yinzhi with a black face.

Kangxi had mixed feelings in his heart.

Look at the children, they all know that the prince treats them well, so they are worried!Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine De are also sensible, but I am too narrow-minded?

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt more and more that his sons were all good, so what's wrong?The bad ones are of course those officials who tried to encourage the prince to do bad things and fight for power and profit!

A stern look flashed in Kangxi's eyes.

Immediately after his thoughts were interrupted by a stumbling sound of reciting, Kangxi looked up and saw the fifth elder brother Yinqi and the sixth elder brother Yinzuo holding a picture album: "A long time ago, there was a man who loved beauty My prince, he lived a luxurious and corrupt life, one day a liar came and begged to see this prince, claiming that they could make a magical dress..."

Kangxi was a little curious: "What is this?"

Yinzhen lowered his voice and muttered: "This is a story book read by the prince's second brother, which has been made into a picture book. A few days ago, Yinqi and Yinzuo refused to sleep without the prince's second brother studying!"

Kangxi's eyes were full of splendor.

That's right... Seeing the prince's wrinkled face, he still stepped forward to dissuade him: "Your second brother just fell asleep, read it to him next time."

Fifth elder brother and sixth elder brother blinked.

A trace of disappointment flashed across their faces, and they responded with grievances.Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kangxi took the picture album from their hands and flipped through it for a few times, with a faint smile on his face.

The pictures inside are simple and cute, and the handwriting is refreshing and neat.For Kangxi, who is familiar with the prince Yinreng, he knew at a glance that the word was written by the prince. As for the inexplicable and unique style of painting, it is easy to remind people of the calligraphy characters with different styles. Kangxi couldn't help but look suspiciously. Turn to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen held his head high.

That's right!The drawer is Ben Ago!

Kangxi: ...

He had black lines on his face: "What is this circle with dots?"

"Is it the prince?"

"Why can't you even recognize the pictures you draw?"

"I recognized it."

"What about this?"

"This is a tailor."

"But I see that the tailor and the prince look exactly the same." Kangxi was at a loss for words.

"It's obviously different."

Sixth elder brother Yinzuo pointed to the two balls on the picture: "The prince should be fatter, and the tailor should be thinner."

Kangxi looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the difference between the fat and thin of the two ink dots.But looking at the determined eyes of Yinzhen and sixth elder brother Yinzuo, he gradually fell into confusion: Is it true that my eyesight is not good enough?

The third elder brother Yinzhi showed a peaceful smile.

Apparently, he has also been tortured by this magical painting technique in the past few days, and he complained calmly: "Don't worry, Khan Ama, Erchen and Fifth Brother won't be able to see it either."

Kangxi immediately regained his composure.

He looked calm: "Oh, that's good."
