Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

the seventh day of November

There was silence in Qianqing Palace, and Lord Kangxi sat behind the desk with an indifferent expression.The memorials were scattered all over the desk, and no one dared to pick them up. A single paper red leather envelope was spread on the desk, and Sanbeile's seal was faintly visible.

Liang Jiugong stood on the side of the dragon chair with his head bowed, the sound of his breathing kept to a minimum. After noon, the sun fell on the window lattice, reflecting a bowed figure passing by.

When the consultant walked into the inner hall, he was covered in white sweat, but he was entrusted by others, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leaned over and said, "I want to report to the Lord Long Live, Concubine Hui is kneeling outside the hall to beg to see you."

There was another strange silence, Liang Jiugong closed his eyes, and slightly turned his head to look at Lord Kangxi.After a long time, with a soft sigh, a hoarse voice said, "Let her in."

Concubine Hui followed the consultants to the Palace of Qianqing, which she had not set foot in for a long time. Surprisingly, Concubine Hui did not take off her hairpin to treat the crime, but came dressed up when she was convicted several times and her only son was imprisoned.It's just that under the gold hairpin and jade jade, it is difficult to hide the gray hair bun, and behind the powder makeup and silver tin, it is the face of a woman in her twilight years.

"The concubine pays respects to His Majesty, and wishes my emperor peace," Concubine Hui leaned down precariously, and Lord Kangxi waved his hand casually, "Get up, what's the point of coming to Qianqing Palace at this hour?"

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, this concubine is here for Yinyi," Concubine Hui lowered her head and stood with her head bowed.

Lord Kangxi narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Are you here to intercede for Yinbi?"

"No," Concubine Hui raised her eyes slightly, looked at Lord Kangxi and said, "This concubine is here to play Elder Brother. This concubine is old, frail and sick. She has worked hard to raise Elder Brother for decades, but she will end up with nothing. This is the end of the old age alone. The concubine wants to participate in the filial piety, and ask the emperor to make decisions for the concubine."

Lord Kangxi chuckled, and put one hand on the table, "It's a good move to retreat. Concubine Hui is going to take into account the decades of affection I have had with me."

"The concubine is terrified," Concubine Hui took a step back, nodded her head and said in a low voice, "Yinyi was suspected of being disloyal and unfilial when he collided with the emperor in Qianqing Palace. Imprisonment and reeducation, deprivation of titles and titles."

"Detention and education, deprivation of titles and titles," Lord Kangxi said twice, his eyes became colder, "now, I'm afraid it won't be covered by these simple punishments!"

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Hui raised her head.

Lord Kangxi waved the memorial on the case to Concubine Hui, "Look carefully, Yinzhi's memorial! Your good son secretly summoned a group of lamas who are good at cursing nightmares in an attempt to suppress the crown prince and plot against him. Take the reserve!"

Concubine Hui picked up the memorial tremblingly, and Sanbeile Yinzhi's words were clearly printed on it, "My son, I invite the emperor's father Jinan. Today, the prince is seriously ill, and my son is confined to the mansion. I can't visit from time to time, and I am worried." Before that, the theory of witches and Gu was spread in the palace, and I didn't bother to be with it. But I didn't expect that this dirty thing came from the side of my bed. My son was neglected for a long time, and the crown prince suffered from it , I also ask the emperor's father to give him a heavy punishment. My son heard from the housekeeper a few days ago that there was a Mongolian lama Bahang Gelong in the horse ranch. Lama Mingjia Gabuchu, Ma Xinggabuchu and others went to the mansion for a walk. The sons and ministers were very frightened and had no choice but to go to the horse ranch to find out the truth. I hereby report to the emperor's father to comfort the prince's safety."

"Your Majesty," Concubine Hui's body went limp and she fell to the ground. The consultant rushed to help her up, but Concubine Hui stopped her with a wave of her hand.

Lord Kangxi closed his eyes slightly, and heaved a long sigh, "I know you love your son dearly, and I don't want Yinyi to end up today. At the beginning, when I imprisoned the prince in the palace, I said it first, in order to completely break his mind and let him jump out." This vortex. Helpless, Yinfei is unwilling to go back and act more and more daringly! Now, even I don't pay attention to it."

Concubine Hui propped herself up, knelt on her legs, her face was miserable, "The emperor's words mean that our mother and son will be smashed to death in the Golden Palace?"

"Niang Niang—" Advisor Xing shook his body, and wanted to raise something, but was dragged aside by Liang Jiugong.

Concubine Hui lowered her head and caressed her face, her voice was soft, she didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with what she said, "At the beginning, when the concubine gave birth to her elder brother, Concubine Rong lost her son several times. He didn't dare to let go of Yinbi, so the emperor persuaded his concubines in the bedroom, saying that you will definitely keep the elder brother safe and won't let anyone hurt him."

Lord Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and remained silent. Concubine Hui said again, "Later, the emperor raised Eldest Elder Brother in the mansion of Galu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The courtiers knew that the Emperor was thinking about Elder Elder Brother's safety. So, even if I can only see him a few times a year, and the courtiers and concubines love it. When the crown prince was born, the harem finally had two elder brothers, Baoqing and Baocheng, and the number of children gradually increased. Your Majesty, do you still remember when From then on, Yinfeng and Yinfeng, the concubine and the queen have reached a point where they are at odds?"

Lord Kangxi opened his eyes, and the hand on the side of the chair tightened and tightened.

Concubine Hui smiled lightly, then lowered her head and stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, "I remember very clearly that it was after Sony died of illness and Suo'etu started to grow."

Liang Jiugong took a deep breath and looked at Lord Kangxi, who was steady and still.

"The Emperor needs someone to balance the power of the Hesheli family." Concubine Hui's eyes were far away, but she had no focus. Empress Xiaoyi was just a poor concubine under the control of her mother's family. Therefore, the concubine and the young concubine Baoqing were pushed by the emperor in front of Prime Minister Ming."

"Presumptuous," Master Kangxi tensed up, clapping one hand on the table.

Concubine Hui didn't retreat at all, "Could it be that the concubine is wrong? If there is no consent from the Holy Majesty, the concubine is just a woman and child, and Baoqing has not yet grown up. How could it be possible to cross the palace walls and mix with Nalan Pearl? You I know," Concubine Hui's eyes were moist, "how many sleepless nights did the concubines secretly think, if the eldest prince Chengrui was alive, would my Baoqing be able to do the same thing as the third and fourth elder brothers? An ordinary prince, stay away from those right and wrong?"

"I intend to contain Suo'ertu's power," Lord Kangxi took a deep breath, "but you and Yinbi have come to this day step by step, but it is absolutely beyond what I expected. If it is as you said, Chengrui is still alive , Concubine Rong will never be the same as you."

Concubine Hui smiled softly, and shook her head, "It's whatever the emperor says. I think there is no hope for Yin's life because of the current crime. The concubine now just wants the emperor to take into account some past affection and give protection to her." Qing left one life behind. At the beginning, the emperor did not break his promise to comfort his concubines in Yanxi Palace."

Lord Kangxi turned his head to look at the memorials all over the place, and there was another silence in the bedroom.

"Forget it," Lord Kangxi raised his hand, and asked the consultant to help Concubine Hui up, "As a parent, the heart that loves children is the same."

Concubine Hui pursed her lips, her temples swayed slightly, she leaned over and saluted, "Concubine, thank the emperor for your kindness!"

On the eighth day of November, Siye Mansion

Fu Nai got the news from Su Hetai, and hurriedly told the fourth elder brother in the East courtyard, "Master, the emperor ordered the Mongolian lamas Mingjia Gabuchu, Maxing Gabuchu, Bahangelung and the Zhijun palace to be guarded this morning. Selengya suddenly waits for the lock to be taken, and handed over to Mandu, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and Laxi, the imperial guard for interrogation!"

"They really can't hold their breath," the fourth elder brother twirled the Rubik's cube in his hand, "Is there any movement from the eighth side?"

"Baye's Mansion is very quiet," Fu Nai said with his head bowed, "but, according to Su Hetai, there are always wandering Taoist priests coming and going around Baye's Mansion, and some of them dared to call Zhang Mingde's. Talking nonsense to the guards guarding the hidden mansion under the guise."

"Taoist?" Brother Si frowned, "What did they say?"

"Um, it is said that Zhang Mingde did not die with peace in his eyes. The crown prince cursed the nightmare. It was Zhang Mingde's curse before his death. He also said that this matter must be solved by the eighth elder brother. Anyway, it is some strange words, which have been expelled by the guards several times," Fu said. Nai lowered his head and said.

The fourth elder brother frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

Fu Nai pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "According to my servant's guess, the king of Zhijun probably sent someone to do this. However, considering the current situation, no matter how much trouble you make, I'm afraid there will be no way out."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and said with a sigh of relief, "Look closely at the people in the house these few days, don't make any accidents at this moment, it won't be long before it will be settled."

"Slave understands," Fu Nai cupped his hands, leaned over and stepped back.

Not two days after the incident happened in Wang Zhen of Zhijun, the Ministry of Criminal Justice handed over the confession of Bahangerong and others, saying that the king of Zhijun really wanted to curse the crown prince, and summoned lamas several times to practice witchcraft.

The Ministry of Punishment sent people to the Prince's Mansion in Zhijun and village households in the suburbs of Beijing to unearth more than a dozen objects from the town.The crime of murdering the crown prince by the king of Zhijun is almost confirmed.

However, just when Prince He Shuoxian Yanhuang, Minister of the Ministry of Justice and others were about to impeach him, Lord Kangxi suddenly decreed that he would take several young elder brothers from the palace to Nanyuan for hunting.

Baye Mansion

The emperor's order has not yet been issued, and several princes are still in the confinement period, and Shuerhaqi's people are still patrolling around the mansion.

He Zhuo sat in the study with Eighth Prince and played chess, and sent away the servants who served him. He Zhuo said in a low voice, "I heard that the emperor accepted the confession from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he didn't make any explicit statement. Instead, he suddenly issued an order. Going to Nanyuan to hunt. This time, I don't know what happened?"

The eighth elder brother shook his head, and dropped a white piece, "It should be all right, otherwise Brother Tong and the others will definitely send in the news. Huang Ama acted like this, I think he couldn't be cruel. After all, the eldest brother has been with the driver for many years, and the love in it Only the second brother can compare with him."

"In this way," He Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "The emperor's allegation is to appease the old officials who support the prince. After a while, those courtiers who intend to use this to kill the king of Zhijun will inevitably have to retreat and settle for the next best thing." .”

The eighth elder brother pursed his lips, his eyes were deep, "However, even if Huang Ama left elder brother alive this time, he will not be given any chance to stand up again. The ambition of elder brother has been clearly revealed. The society is a great danger."

"But," He Zhuo frowned, "The king of Zhijun is still alive, and I'm afraid he won't let go of it with Elder Brother. In the past few days, the warlocks who are always around our mansion, and the news of Mingxiang's death may be related Even the king of Zhijun can't get away from it."

The eighth elder brother smiled softly, exhaled and said, "He is just the end of his strength, so why should I care too much about it? The second elder brother has suffered a lot this time, and when he recovers, we don't need to do anything, someone will see him off. "

"Speaking of the crown prince," He Zhuo hesitated for a moment, "I've been sick for a while, although I'm getting more and more haggard, but it hasn't hurt the root cause. Didn't the adults tell the master at the beginning that they want to kill two birds with one stone?"

The eighth elder brother frowned, thought for a moment and shook his head, "Second brother has been surrounded by many guards, and it is not easy to administer the medicine. I guess something went wrong in the middle? After all, the dose of the medicine is calculated, how much is it?" It is difficult to achieve the expected effect by one point or one point.”
