Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 35th Eve

Zhongcui Palace

"You! Who are you?" Tao'er stood in front of Hesheli's bed, her thin body trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid," a warm voice sounded, and someone took off the mask, "I am the prince's haha ​​bead, Dezhu."

Tao'er blinked, her voice paused, "Are you from the prince?"

"Yes," De Zhu nodded, "Zhongcui Palace has been sealed by Concubine Hui, and the crown prince tried many ways but couldn't get in, so I had no choice but to take the risk. What happened to Concubine Concubine?"

Tao'er pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face, "Master, I'm afraid something is wrong. I've been vomiting blood for the past two days, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has already been finished, and no one will bring it. If this continues, I'm afraid, I will Afraid……"

De Zhu sighed, and looked towards the bed, "What kind of disease is concubine concubine suffering from? Is it really tuberculosis?"

"No," Tao'er shook her head vigorously, "My lord has always been in good health, how could I get that kind of disease. Besides, I have been with my lord all the time, and if I had tuberculosis, I would definitely die too."

De Zhu pursed his lips, and nodded to Tao'er, "I see, I'll go back and report to the prince, and see what else I can do—"

"No need," a hoarse voice suddenly sounded, interrupting De Zhu's words.

"Little master?" Tao'er was startled, and ran to the bed.

The only candle in the room shone on Hesheli's bruised face, making her slightly opened eyes extremely bright.Hesheli looked at Tao'er, then turned his head to look at De Zhu in the darkness, "You, come here..."

De Zhu walked to the candlelight step by step, Hesheli stared at him for a long while without a word, and then sighed.

"Concubine concubine," De Zhu lowered his voice, "The prince will definitely find a way to save you, don't give up."

Hershey raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "When it's time to give up, you should give up... Pointless persistence will only harm others, as well as yourself... Tell the prince, don't bother about me anymore, in the future , like walking on thin ice, you must, cherish yourself..."

"My lord," Tao'er saw that Hesheli's words became weaker and her tears fell more violently.

Hesheli looked at Tao'er, and raised one hand in the air, "You girl, when will you be able to make a difference..."

In the early morning of June [-], concubine Hesheli died

Yuqing Palace

The prince stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and De Zhu stood behind him with his head bowed, "Your Highness, please mourn..."

The prince looked out of the window and sighed, "Er Niang has left me since I was born. Before my aunt entered the palace, Huang Ama was my only family member. I always remember that when I was five years old, there was a girl with beautiful eyes, The person who looks like a fairy in a painting stands under the rockery and waves at me. Over the years, my aunt seems to be quite strict with me, but only I know that in this palace, she is the only one who will stay up all night sewing pajamas for me , A woman who will make tonic for me without blinking."

"Your Highness," De Zhu took two steps forward, and the prince turned to look at him, "Don't do such dangerous things in the future, there are fewer and fewer people in this world who treat me wholeheartedly, I can't lose you anymore .”

Hesheli's coffin was temporarily placed in Zhongcui Palace, and Luanjia returned to Beijing on June 25. On the day the emperor returned to the palace, he decreed that Hesheli should be concubine Pingfei.

The Zhongcui Palace, which had been lonely for several months, suddenly became lively one morning. The servants who built the coffin, and the clan wives who presided over the funeral ceremony opened the dusty door together.

However, the scene in front of them instantly chilled everyone to the bone in the early summer sun. With a scream, several old nuns pouted over on the spot.

On Hesheli's simple coffin, a woman in a red palace dress hangs on the beam, and the snow-white wall is dyed red by a big poisonous word.This scene, like a venomous curse, spread throughout the entire court in a blink of an eye.

Sho San Institute

Su Wei poked his neck and listened to Zhang Qilin's vivid description of the scene of Zhongcui Palace, and goosebumps all over his body in the summer, "This is too unscientific," Su Wei waved his hand indiscriminately, "How big a character can be written by cutting off a finger, You are talking nonsense!"

"Really," Zhang Qilin sullenly said, "It wasn't cutting off her fingers at all. My brother in the respect room said that the girl almost cut off her entire palm."

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine," Su Wei jumped on the spot, "I won't listen, it has nothing to do with us anyway, so don't talk nonsense, and blame the higher-ups later, so that you can't eat and walk around."

"That's right," a sudden clear voice from the door interjected, "Why is Eunuch Zhang even more talkative than our girls, Fujin has issued a ban, and we are not allowed to discuss matters about Zhongcui Palace."

"Oh, Miss Shiyue," Zhang Qilin stood up, scratching his head embarrassingly, "Our family knows, just don't talk about it in the future. Are you here to see Eunuch Su?"

"That's right." Shiyue put the food box on the table, "Eunuch Su's injury is just right, and he needs to replenish his strength. Eunuch Zhang, don't stay here all the time and delay Eunuch Su's rest."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, Zhang Qilin looked at Su Wei, then at Shiyue, "Hey, yes, yes, our family is leaving now, we are leaving now." After speaking, he stretched his head and looked into the food box , but was blocked by Shiyue, and finally left with a malicious look on Su Wei's face.

"I'm bothering you again," Su Wei sat down on the chair, put his arms around the back of the chair, and smiled shyly at Shiyue.

"What's the trouble? We are friends." Shiyue put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and brought out two stew pots, "This is the pheasant bought by the master chef in the dining room. The wild ginseng and red dates that I gave me last time are the most nourishing. There is also donkey-hide gelatin that Fujin rewarded me. I mixed deer blood and made blood tofu. You suffered a knife wound, so you need to replenish more blood."

"Sister is really thoughtful," Su Wei grinned, dragged a stool to sit at the table, and took the chicken thigh that Shi Yuesheng gave him, "Who will marry you in the future, it is his eight lifetimes of cultivation. "

"Tch, I'll say something nice," Shiyue glared at Su Wei who was grinning, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Cheng stepped into the main hall and saluted Concubine Hui.

"Don't be too polite, come and sit with me," Concubine Hui sighed.

"My lady, what's the matter?" Cheng Concubine sat next to Concubine Hui, "But what happened to Zhongcui Palace?"

"That's not true." Concubine Hui picked up the tea bowl and hung the tea foam, "Who knew that a court lady could cause such a big disturbance, it's my own carelessness."

"Then, didn't your majesty say nothing?" Concubine Cheng pursed her lips, "Hesheli's got an epidemic disease. Your Majesty is thinking about the overall situation of the harem, so it's not wrong to lock her up. She's a slave with resentment in her heart." It's not right at all, and now you still do such a thing that hurts the face of the royal family. Not only did the empress not blame her, but she also allowed people to restrain her, which is already a big deal."

Concubine Hui raised her lips, "It would be great if everyone thought like you. The writing on the wall of Zhongcui Palace was vividly passed on by the gossips in the palace. The emperor has not pursued it now, and the three of them can't stand to become a tiger."

Concubine Cheng smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that you hold the power of the Six Palaces and Eldest Brother has made meritorious service in the battlefield, it is not easy to curb a meaningless rumor. The so-called killing chickens to warn monkeys, how many people in the harem have nothing to gossip about?" One is hard-boned."

Concubine Hui said nothing, and slowly took a sip of her tea.

Zhengsan Institute in the evening

Su Wei wobbled into the inner hall of the main hall, Wang Chaoqing nodded at him, turned around and called the eunuchs on duty to go out.

"Master," Su Wei moved the stool and sat next to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother didn't even look at him, and picked up a piece of thin roasted duck skin with his chopsticks and ate it.

Su Wei swallowed, "Master, I want to eat too..."

The fourth elder brother took a sip of fruit wine, squinted at Su Wei, "What, are you hungry? I thought you were full from eating pheasants."

"Hey," Su Wei smirked, turned around and started to eat roasted duck wings with a bowl.

The fourth elder brother frowned, "Drink that bowl of Guiling soup, my master specially asked the dining room to make it for you to nourish your body, don't eat greasy soup."

Su Wei smacked his lips, "Master, if you drink too much Wang Ba soup, you will get nosebleeds."

The fourth elder brother glared at him, "If you eat too much pheasant and deer blood, you will also get nosebleeds."

After the first battle in Zhaomoduo, the imperial court received a report that the troops led by Galdan were basically in a desperate situation.But letting the tiger go back to the mountain is not always a good plan. The emperor actively arranged to conquer Junggar again and completely wipe out the remaining forces of Galdan.

And after this battle, the elder brother's power in the court became stronger and stronger.However, the crown prince did not show any weakness. When the emperor personally conscripted, the crown prince presided over the administration, often reviewing the memorials until he forgot to eat and sleep, and the whole court was full of praise.

In the harem, Concubine Ping passed away and the palace maid Taoer committed suicide. Rumors in the palace continued, there were rumors of poisoning and murder, and Concubine Hui, who closed the Zhongcui Palace, naturally became the target of public criticism.In mid-July, Zhang, the concubine of the Chuxiu Palace, openly slandered Concubine Hui, punished her with a stick for [-] years, and lost a pair of legs.However, after this incident, the rumor turmoil in the palace began to calm down.

Sho San Institute

In the summer-ravaged courtyard, there was a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and Su Wei, who was lying on the window to enjoy the cool, shook his head and sneezed.

When Xiaoyingzi came to Grandpa Su's door with sour plum soup to cool off the heat, he found that the doors and windows that had been opened wide just now were now tightly shut.

"Second Master, why did you close all the windows?" Xiaoyingzi pushed open the door, feeling a rush of heat.

Su Wei lay greedily on the floor covered with sheets, "I'm still Master Kong, and the outside smells like traditional Chinese medicine, I can't get used to it!"

Xiaoyingzi scratched the back of his head, "It's okay, it doesn't taste much. It's a folk prescription sent by Empress Defei to the young masters in the backyard. She said that drinking it can win elder brother. Second master, don't hold back your nonsense , I will be blamed by the master later."

Su Wei glared at Xiaoyingzi, "You don't need to teach me, mother-in-law is like an old nanny."

Xiaoyingzi pouted, poured the sour plum soup and handed it to Su Wei.

"Hey, be careful," Su Wei was drinking sour plum soup when there was a sudden shout at the door.

Xiaoyingzi ran to the door to have a look, only to see Wang Chaoqing directing two young eunuchs to bring a large celadon vat.

"What are you doing?" Su Wei sat up cross-legged.

Wang Chaoqing waved the little eunuch back, and walked forward with a smile, "Master ordered, it's hot today, with this jar, I can fill you with ice cubes, and the room will be cooler later."

Su Wei pursed his lips, and put a large font on the ground, "Take it back, I don't need it, I have been here for so many years. Ice cubes are a blessing that only the master can enjoy. I use them here, and I will cause trouble later."

Wang Chaoqing froze for a moment, looked at Xiaoyingzi, who blinked, not knowing what to say.
