Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

On October [-]th, the prince had a sudden hysteria, and overnight, he moved from the felt tent next to the Sima courtyard to Xian'an Palace to recuperate.

The fourth elder brother knelt down to plead guilty in the early court, but Lord Kangxi didn't blame him too much, but handed over the job of guarding the prince to the minister who led the guards.

However, the prince's disease did not get better because of this, but became more serious.Fashionable and sober during the day, as soon as it gets dark, he starts to twitch and howl, talk nonsense, and even bite others and self-mutilate.

Before the staff members of the Tai Hospital could find out the cause of the epidemic, the Taibu of Taichang Temple took the first step to account for the hexagrams of dragons trapped in water and evildoers making chaos.

October 27, Qianqing Palace

"The slave is incompetent," the consultant knelt in front of the soft couch, with his head bowed, "Since the Babeile incident, the princes rarely go out. The slave can't find out anyway. Is there any elder brother who is the same as the wizard shaman?" I have had contact with similar people, and it is impossible to find out where the curse and nightmare technique that the prince deeply suffers from. The servant is not good at handling affairs and delays His Highness's illness. Please forgive me."

Lord Kangxi sat on the soft couch with a cold expression, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Liang Jiugong stood on one side, bent over when he saw this, and said, "Long Live Lord, it's a good thing that Eunuch Gu didn't find out the truth. Perhaps, it really wasn't the princes who framed the crown prince in order to compete for the reserve position. Yes, it's just common hysteria. Once the imperial physicians find out the cause, it will be cured in a short time."

Lord Kangxi exhaled slowly, closed his eyes, and the bedroom fell into a long and cold silence.

The sun was slanting to the west, and the eunuchs who were going to the imperial dining room bowed past outside the Qianqing Palace, and the consultant line lost all feeling in his knees.

"Order the infantry commander Tuo Heqi," Lord Kangxi said with a hoarse voice, piercing the almost stagnant air at the gate of the palace, "Jiang Zhijun Wang Yinyi, Sanbeile Yinzhi, Sibeile Yinzhen, and Eighth Prince Yinyu Jin They are all detained in the mansion, and are not allowed to enter or leave the mansion without my permission!"

Siyefu

The fourth elder brother was lying on the couch in the study room, turning the Rubik's Cube, and Zhang Qilin bowed in with a tray, "Master, Nian Fang Fujin sent someone to bring ginseng soup."

"Leave it alone," the fourth prince sighed as he looked back and forth at the twelve-faced dice that could be filled with only a few color blocks without raising his head.

Zhang Qilin glanced at the fourth elder brother, lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "The master is either resting in the front yard or Fujin's place recently, and he hasn't been to the west courtyard for a while."

The fourth elder brother let out a sigh of relief, put the Rubik's Cube aside, pinched his brows and said, "What has Su Peisheng been doing these days? Have you stayed in the Zhuangzi honestly?"

"Eh..." Zhang Qilin hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Su has been very busy recently, and he followed Zhuangtou in disguise all day looking around the shop in the capital."

"Let him be more careful," the fourth elder brother frowned, reached out to scoop up a spoon of ginseng soup and put it down again, "how many eyes are watching the actions of the princes now, I don't want him to attract Huang Ama's attention again."

"Master Baylor, don't worry," Zhang Qilin bent the corners of his lips, "Eunuch Su said that in the name of business, he is not afraid of being discovered. This scholar, farmer, businessman, and businessman is the last one. Lord Baylor loves money more than greedy for power." It's more reassuring."

The fourth elder brother smiled softly, and glanced at Zhang Qilin, "You all learned from him to be glib—"

"Master, something happened," Zhang Bao rushed in while the two were talking.

"What's the matter?" Brother Si frowned lightly.

Zhang Bao leaned down and said, "Su Hetai, the commander of the Infantry with the Yellow Banner, led people to surround our mansion."

West Hospital

Shiyue put down her half-sewn apron, tapped her neck, Niu Hulu said with a smile, "Thank you sister, my child's clothes depend on her craftsmanship."

Shiyue curled her lips and shook her head, "It's not hard work, but if you can make something useful for the children, your life will be more interesting."

"Look at what my sister said." Niu Hulu picked up Shiyue's embroidery and looked at it. "We are still young, and the days will be long. Sooner or later, my sister will have her own child. How can I start to sigh now?" ?”

Shiyue pursed her lips, but without answering, she lowered her head and straightened the thread on the table.

"My lord, it's not good," the maid Mulan ran into the house in panic, "Outside, it's coming outside—"

"Speak slowly," Shiyue frowned, and patted Niu Hulu's hand comfortingly, "Your little master is pregnant with a child, don't scare her. If there's anything wrong, speak slowly."

"Yes," Mulan bowed to Shiyue and said with a sigh of relief, "A lot of officers and soldiers came outside and surrounded our Baylor Mansion. I heard from the servants in front that it was an order from the Lord Long Live. There is no imperial decree. No one is allowed to enter or leave the house."

"How could this be?" Niu Hulu's body tightened, his face turned pale.

Shiyue pursed her lips, held Niu Hulu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Belle is in the front yard, and nothing will happen. You are pregnant with a child now, and the most important thing is to protect the pregnancy. Outside matters , don't bother."

Niu Hulu turned her head to look at Shiyue, stretched out her hand to caress her swollen belly, and after a while, slowly exhaled and nodded solemnly.

In the living room

Su Hetai handed over the decree of the Long Live Lord to the fourth elder brother. After the fourth elder brother saluted, he sat down on the tea chair in the middle leisurely, "Since it is the emperor's order, Yinzhen should follow it. I will be troubled in the past few days." Su Shen took the lead."

"You are welcome, Lord Belle," Su Hetai bowed. "This time, not only Lord Belle is imprisoned in the mansion, but the king of Zhijun, San Belle, and eighth elder brother are all included. What Long Live Lord means is that those who murdered the prince If the gangsters are not caught for a day, the safety of the princes will not be guaranteed, and the ministers and others are ordered by the emperor to do their best to protect Lord Belle comprehensively."

"Well, I've made up my mind." The fourth elder brother picked up the tea bowl and scraped off the tea powder, "There is a woman in my family who is pregnant, so I have to tell your people to be careful and not disturb the backyard."

"Lord Baylor, don't worry," Su Hetai lowered his head, "The humble position only orders a small team to patrol the mansion, and the rest of the people are guarding outside the mansion, which will never affect the daily life of the masters."

"That's good," the fourth elder brother bent his lips, stood up and said, "You can arrange it yourself, and the Lord will not disturb you to perform the imperial edict."

"Thank you, Lord Belle," Su Hetai saluted, the fourth elder brother nodded, and started to walk out, but Su Hetai answered again, "Master Tuo Heqi asked the humble officer to greet the fourth master, what's the matter with the fourth master?" I need to order as much as possible."

The fourth elder brother looked back at Su Hetai, turned around and left the living room without saying a word.

"Why did the emperor suddenly decree to imprison the princes?" Fu Nai accompanied the fourth elder brother to the backyard, "Could it be that the master guarded the prince before, which aroused Long Live's suspicion?"

The fourth elder brother walked in front with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, "There must be suspicions, but I never thought that Huang Ama would go to war for the second elder brother so much."

Baye Mansion

Shu Erhaqi, the right-wing general of the Xianghuang Banner Infantry Army, led the troops to surround the Baye Mansion.

The eighth elder brother sat beside the eighth Fujin's bed, the eighth Fujin's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was haggard.The footsteps outside the window were chaotic, and there were occasional servants screaming in horror, which was very ear-piercing.

Brother Ba frowned, and raised his hand to signal the serving maid to put down the curtain, and Fujin moved uneasily in his drowsiness.

Jin Huan listened to the servant's report outside, and walked lightly into the doorway, "Master, the generals leading the troops are waiting for you to go out to receive the order. I heard that the Si Ye's mansion next to it has also been besieged."

Brother Ba frowned, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, he lowered his head and put Fujin's arm under the quilt, "I know, you should take care of Fujin."

"Yes," Jin Huan blessed Fushen.

Yinhu walked out of Fujin's courtyard, and Shuerhaqi's people had already surrounded all parts of the mansion.

After receiving the imperial decree and saluting thanks, Yinhu looked around and said, "Since Huang Ama has ordered us to be imprisoned, it is only natural for the general to guard several gates in the mansion, but why do so many people enter the mansion for inspection? There are many female relatives in the backyard, and the guards of the commander-in-chief walk back and forth, which may be inconvenient."

Shuerhaqi laughed lightly, leaned down and said, "The humble official is ordered to do things, please forgive me. After all, people with malicious intentions may hide anywhere, and the humble official sends people to patrol the mansion for the sake of the masters." safety."

Yinhu pursed her lips, and said lightly, "Forget it, since you are following orders, you can do it yourself."

Zhijun Palace

Tuo Heqi personally led people to surround Zhijun Prince's Mansion, and the people stationed in the mansion were called patrols, but in fact they were more like searches.

After receiving the imperial edict, King Zhijun stopped talking to the generals of the infantry battalion, and went back to the study alone with Hedu.

"Your Majesty, why did Lord Long live imprison the princes so suddenly?" He Du frowned and said, "This time the prince is sick, could it be that someone is behind the scenes?"

King Zhijun slowly sat behind the desk, put one hand on his forehead, was silent for a while, closed his eyes slightly and said, "This king is careless."

"What does the prince mean?" He Du raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a chill behind his back, "Someone wants to use the crown prince to frame the prince?"

King Zhijun sighed, and smiled softly, "I have been fighting with the prince for many years. Once the prince is killed, Huang Ama must be the first one who thinks of me. It's a pity that the king has been focusing on Yinhu recently. , didn't pay too much attention to it. I thought that I could avoid this storm by living in seclusion. Now it seems that the murderous knife is already hanging in the house."

Hedu was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This servant will lead people to search around."

"It's useless," Zhijun Wang stood up indifferently and said, "If it were someone else, this king might still have a chance. But now, it is Tuo Heqi who is guarding this king."

He Du bit his lips, stepped forward and said, "To be able to act like this right now, the people who framed the county king and the prince must be powerful, but I don't know—"

"It's Nalan Kuixu," King Zhijun interrupted Hedu, "I have been living in the mansion since I brought down Yinhu. If they want to pin this matter on me, they have to ask for a How can Tong Jia and A Ling'a, who are planning to support Yinhu behind their backs, give up because this king used Zhang Mingde to make Lao Ba lose his title?"

"Then, how does the county king plan to deal with it?" He Du frowned and said, "Our mansion is tightly surrounded by the whole family. It may not be easy for us to get out of the mansion."

"You don't need to go out of the mansion," Zhijun King smiled softly, "Ever since I ran into Huang Ama in the Qianqing Palace, I have thought about this day, it will be a moment sooner or later. However, this king is not just a paper, and he can do it for nothing. It’s easy to kill people. You go and arrange a few servants to spread the news of Mingxiang’s death for many days through the mouths of these Eight Banners soldiers in the mansion.”

A turbulent night passed slowly after several twists and turns.

The strangeness of the residences of the princes is no different to the common people. The gates of the city are opened as usual, the flow of people passes by slowly, and the peddlers on the roadside start to yell in a Beijing style.

The carriage of Daliangzhuang Village in the suburbs of Beijing swayed into the city gate. Su Wei was wearing a royal blue gold-rimmed robe, black short boots, and a huge jade pendant around his waist, reflecting the green fingers on his hand. Let the accompanying Xiao Yingzi feel disgusted.

I bought two biscuits from the street and ate them while walking. Today, Su Wei got rid of the dealer and planned to go to Dongcheng to see the shop by himself.

"Hey, have you heard?" A group of resting porters gathered around a tea shed by the road, "Last night, all the infantry battalions were mobilized and surrounded several palaces. Locked up."

"Is it true, why?"

"It's true. A lot of soldiers passed by my house last night. They all carried knives and swords. It's not a trivial matter at first glance."

……

"Master," Xiaoyingzi took a step forward and moved behind the frowning Su Wei, "Will they say there will be our Baylor Mansion? The day before yesterday, Eunuch Zhang Bao came to Zhuangzi."

"The situation is urgent now, and anything can happen," Su Wei threw the biscuits to the beggars in the alley, "I just don't know the reason, let's go back to the house and have a look."

Siyefu

Zhang Bao, Fu Nai and others accompanied the fourth elder brother for a walk in the East Courtyard. After Su Hetai led the team to patrol for a week, he retreated on his own.

"It seems that this Su and Tai are Tuo Heqi's confidantes," Fu Nai said with a suppressed voice, "Tuo Heqi has to order, and he is so respectful to Lord Belle, so he must be aware of the prince's affairs. "

The fourth elder brother sighed lightly and nodded, "Tuoheqi can lead the infantry camp, and the people under him will not be so stupid. Now, Yinhu and the eldest brother are detained together, Nalan Kuixu, Erlundai and the others should I can't hold my breath anymore."

"What the master said is—" While the few people were talking, there was a sudden rustling sound from outside the wall in the northeast corner.

"Master, be careful," Zhang Bao protected the fourth elder brother behind him, and Fu Nai walked down the wall holding the scabbard. The fourth elder brother frowned and followed slowly.

There was another rustling movement, as if someone broke through the wall, and there was a soft cry.

The fourth elder brother was startled when he heard the sound, pushed Zhang Baoshou away and took two steps. Before he could speak, a dark shadow flew across the wall and slammed on the fourth elder brother's head.

"Ouch, master," Zhang Bao and Fu Nai rushed to the side of the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother grinned, rubbed his head, and turned his head to look at the hidden weapon not far away, which turned out to be a black lacquered boot.

"Hey, this," Zhang Bao picked up the boots and looked around, "It seems to belong to Eunuch Su. The servant went to Zhuangzi the day before yesterday, and he showed it to the servant, saying it was newly made."

"Eunuch Su..." Fu Nai blinked, looked at Zhang Bao, and then at the fourth elder brother.

All of a sudden, the three of them came to their senses at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the wall in the northeast corner. They searched the thick wall for a while, and then climbed onto it with one hand.

The fourth elder brother Zheng stared at the wall in a daze, a lot of words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything, his chest was so tight that he panicked.

On the other side of the wall, one is stepping on the other, and it seems that all the strength of breastfeeding has been used up, and the top of a black head finally slowly rises over the top of the wall.

The fourth elder brother stared at the wall without blinking, met the eyes that were gradually raised, and felt numb for a moment, panic for a moment, and then angry.

Xiaoyingzi pursed the corners of her lips innocently, and said with a silly smile at the fourth elder brother, "As long as you are safe, Master Baylor, Master can also rest assured. It is inconvenient for the servant to salute here, Lord Baylor, you—"

"Li Ying, you rambunctious chatter!" Su Wei knelt down without holding his breath, his legs trembling.

"Ah, the slave is leaving—" Xiaoyingzi screamed and disappeared on the wall, followed by chaotic footsteps and the shouting of patrolling guards.

The fourth elder brother rested his forehead with one hand, his eyes were cold, "Su Wei, I'll wait for you to return home!"
