Nanfei

At night, a light rain suddenly fell, which brought some coolness to the restless autumn.

The courtiers of the clan and aristocratic families, who had hardly slept all night, did not feel the comfort brought by the rain at all. Instead, they felt that the atmosphere in the hall was more oppressive and dull.

Qi Zhan was sitting on the throne, flipping through the memorial, his eyes were like a bottomless lake, and his face was calm and disturbing.

What happened at the birthday banquet last night was so strange that they still haven't figured out what happened.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, the guards are strictly guarded, and someone has the audacity to tamper with the birthday banquet, allowing himself to harm others. In the future, if similar things happen again, will he be the one who will be in trouble.

And because it was related to the heirs of the royal family and the royal family, they were very anxious, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, no one would show their presence under the eyes of the emperor without winking.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty all had a dignified posture of knowing the current affairs and lowering their brows and eyes.

Qi Zhan unhurriedly looked through the brochures presented here, completely ignoring the anxious civil and military officials.

Finally, when I found a booklet, the booklet said about Zhennan Prince's succession to the nobility.Qi Zhan's complexion changed, his brows moved slightly, his brows frowned slightly, and he raised his head and glanced quietly at the Zongling of the clan's mansion.

The Clan Mansion is in charge of all the affairs of the royal clan, and reporting the clan's request to the emperor is within the scope of duties, and there is nothing wrong with it. A bad feeling.

Inexplicably, I felt that it was a big mistake to hand over this booklet.

This was not his delusion. King Zhennan passed away almost a year ago, and the memorial of attacking the prince had been submitted several times before it was submitted to the imperial case, but each time it was not very smooth.

It was obvious that the emperor didn't praise Zhennan Palace very much, and he didn't seem to want to give this favor.

Qi Zhan spread out the memorial, rubbed his thumb heavily on the edge of the notebook, and said slowly, "At present, there is a war at the border, and there are turmoil in the palace. It is not a good time to attack the prince, and the discussion will be postponed for the time being."

The emperor's voice was faint, with almost no ups and downs, but it made the people below feel that the oppression in the hall was getting heavier.

A depressive atmosphere gradually diffused in the hall, and everyone dared not even take a breath.

The fact that there was another turmoil in the palace is enough to prove the seriousness of the incident at yesterday's birthday banquet from the side.

I couldn't help being alert in my heart, and became more and more frightened.

Qi Zhan glanced at everyone with a calm expression, raised his thumb and index finger and pinched the center of his eyebrows, but he didn't intend to continue. The official in front of the palace heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately said loudly: "Retire."

Zhao Wenwu looked at each other in blank dismay, and left Zao Chao in a daze.

Someone was sweating on his forehead, and trotted all the way to catch up with Qiao Zizhao, who was in front of him, and inquired about the details. Qiao Zizhao was very bachelor, spread his hands, and said confidently: "I was tired yesterday, and I fell asleep on the bed when I went home. , I don’t even know when it will rain outside, so how can I know what happened in the palace.”

"...".

Everyone who heard him was dumbfounded, how can he sleep peacefully on a stormy night?

What happened at the queen mother's birthday banquet made everyone panic and uneasy. At this critical moment, someone could withstand the huge pressure and stand up without any worries.

For a moment, I couldn't tell what it was like.

Various expressions of jealousy, suspicion, and admiration flashed across his face.

Qiao Zizhao slapped his forehead and slipped away while they were in a daze.

Before they figured out the clues and guessed the ins and outs of the matter, they were completely frightened stupid by the emperor dropping several thunderclaps one after another.

There is no two in the limelight. Concubine Wei Shu, who was in great power for a while, was demoted to a commoner and temporarily detained in the palace.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the son of Concubine Wei Shu, was adopted under the name of King Kang Qiyan, and since then he has no connection with the royal family.

Although King Kang's princely rank did not go up one level, he could enjoy the prince's salary and hold the prince's ceremonial guard.

Fu Jieyu failed to take care of the eldest son of the emperor, she yelled at the imperial court, disturbed all officials and foreign envoys, and was demoted to common people. Her mother's family ended up in the same fate as the Wei family.

The eldest son of the emperor is temporarily raised by the concubine Xian.

The eyes of those who heard the news were very dazed, and they didn't know how to react at all.

Until the simile is issued, everything is done and settled.

Everyone regained their composure, and there was an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

In just half a day's time, the sky above their heads had already changed several colors. The movements were so fierce and the execution was so fast that they couldn't think of any way to deal with them.

It is not too much to say that the situation is changing, the silent smoke of gunpowder is more frightening than the bloody storm.

After finally being relieved, the mind was restless, and the news had not yet been digested. The oracle came again from the palace, and the southeast and northwest had won a complete victory. They are still closing the mess, and they will be able to set up camp and return in triumph in a few days.

When the common people heard the good news, they were excited, and they all celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and rushed to tell each other, regardless of the gossip about the royal family and the royal family.

In contrast, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had a tornado in their hearts, and they were simply full of thoughts and couldn't make sense of them.

The news of the Northwest victory was brought back by Prince Gong Kangxu himself, but the news of the great victory in the south of the Yangtze River was delivered to the capital by the Prince of Huainan riding a fast horse for thousands of miles.

A few breaths of Kungfu news spread throughout the entire capital, making it a household name.

King Gong and King Huainan quickly summoned the face saint, and they were allowed to leave the palace only after they had dinner in the palace.

King Huainan and Prince Gong got a little tipsy from drinking, and they bid farewell to the gate of the palace. King Huainan twitched his chin with his thumb, his eyes flashed with deep meaning, got on his horse, and went straight to Yongning Duke's mansion.

After one person and one horse disappeared under the night, the guard at the gate of the city raised his face with joy, said "ah", and sighed: "I finally saw King Huainan."

The other guard was quite reserved, and praised in his heart: "What a mighty man."

Domineering and domineering figure, tall and straight like a mountain, all of them are convincing, as expected, they are just like the rumors, with strong bones and full of blood.

Of course, no one cared about the uncontrollable excitement in the hearts of the city gate guards.

The emperor's mood at this time is worthy of everyone's speculation.

As usual, Qi Zhan drank the soup medicine delivered by the prince with no expression on his face, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the palace man, gently wiped the corner of his lower lip, and watched the prince calmly put the jade bowl into the jade bowl carefully. on the tray, and put the tray into the jade box with great care.

The prince said softly: "It's getting late, Your Majesty, it's time to make arrangements."

Go to bed early and get up early, take good care of your body, and pomegranate flowers will bear fruit earlier.

Wang Gonggong has been looking forward to it for a long time.

After personally serving the emperor to bathe and change clothes, he lay down on the dragon bed, and then the prince backed out and gently closed the palace gate.

When Eunuch Wang returned to Yongshou Palace, Empress Dowager Qiao was holding the birthday gift presented by Princess Zhennan and lovingly caressing it. Seeing Eunuch Wang enter the door, she asked, "Zhan'er rested."

The prince replied: "I will not dare to come back to see you, the Queen Mother, until I personally serve His Majesty to bed."

Queen Mother Qiao hooked the corners of her lips, with a smile in her eyes: "The good news came today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhan'er to fall asleep early."

The voice paused for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter if you sleep a day late."

Standing up while speaking, without being supported by others, he held the gold box by himself, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world, with a smile on his face: "This birthday gift from Princess Zhennan is really delivered to you." The Ai family has gone to the heart, and the Ai family has been worrying about where to find the scripture box that has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost to store the holy medicine.

The prince said with a smile: "You are blessed, Queen Mother, and when the concubine Nan concubine wins and returns to the court, you will surely get what you want."

The Empress Dowager Qiao smiled happily, and it took a while to hold back, but when she turned around, her whole body was shrouded in frost, and she said coldly: "You can accompany Princess Kang on the trip yourself, so that that poisonous bitch can die in peace. .”

The prince replied in a deep voice, and Queen Mother Qiao sneered: "Don't let those two bitches dirty Zhan'er's eyes."

The empress dowager's meaning couldn't be more clear, this last one will not let them appear in front of the emperor.

The prince took the order and personally led Concubine Kang to the palace where Concubine Wei Shu was imprisoned.

After watching the person walk in, he turned around and went to Fu Jieyu's place. A glass of poisoned wine sent him on the road, and the body was disposed of by the servants who followed behind him, and then returned to Concubine Wei Shu's place.

The decorations in the palace are all exquisite and gorgeous, and the magnificence is still the same, but the people inside have long been different.

Without the hustle and bustle of the past, it was deserted, and a few arm-thin candles lit up the room.

Concubine Kang Wei looked at Concubine Wei Shu who used to be aloof in the past with a half-smile, but today became a prisoner bound and struggling on the ground, howling "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" non-stop.

The snow-white cloak melted on the ground, Concubine Kang's lips curved, and she bent down to remove the cloth stuffed in Concubine Wei Shu's mouth.

Concubine Wei Shu, who was able to pant and speak smoothly, first let out a scream of "ah", then froze, and said hoarsely: "Why is it you?" She glanced at Concubine Kang with disgust.

Concubine Kang straightened up, gathered her cloak slowly, smoothed the clothes that were wrinkled due to bending over, and said with a faint smile, "Who do you think?"

"Kang Kang?"

"His Majesty?"

While speaking, she bent down again, lifted Concubine Wei Shu's chin, clicked her tongue a few times, and said with a sneer, "You don't have that much face, Common Wei."

Concubine Wei Shu struggled desperately, trying to avoid Concubine Kang's slender fingers, but because her hands and feet were bound by unbearably thick ropes, she couldn't move, so she could only kick her feet back. Because of her fierce movements, she lost her bright and gorgeous palace dress again With the addition of scars and abrasions, the shiny skin was immediately exposed in the air, and after a while, little drops of bright red dripped down.

The sweet smell of blood filled the air. Concubine Kang wrinkled her nose in disgust, pinched her jaw tightly, left a deep mark on it, and whispered softly: "The law of heaven is clear, good and evil will be rewarded."

"I'm here to see you off on the last journey. If I don't watch you go on the road with my own eyes, my heart will not be stable."

Concubine Kang's flower-like smile, in Concubine Wei Shu's eyes, looked more like a life-threatening black and white impermanence.
