Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

March [-]th, Hunting Garden in the Suburbs of Beijing

Dagong Su adhered to the principle of not giving up and not giving up, and after confronting the dark horse for a stick of incense, he was defeated. In the end, he had no choice but to lead his "calf" and the fourth elder brother to arrive one by one. In front of the woods.

Hei Wei neighed, raised his horse's hooves, and looked very confident about the prey sprinting through the grass.

Su Wei glared at the bastard who took up his name and was still dragging two to five or eight thousand yuan, then turned his head and pointed at the "calf" behind him and said, "I think this horse is treading snow with four hooves, and its appearance is extraordinary. Just call it Treading Snow!"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Su, who was very proud of the name he had chosen, raised his chin triumphantly at the fourth elder brother.

The steward in charge of raising the horses said yes again and again, and at the end, he took a look at the sparse white hair on the ankle of the brown Mongolian horse, and was speechless.If the prince wasn't present, he really wanted to lead the father-in-law into the stables to see what those real horses were like.

Here, Su Wei got on his horse and ran into the woods with the fourth elder brother.

Not to mention, although Taxue was short and stocky, he had strong hooves, and he was not lost by Hei Wei when he ran. On the contrary, his speed was even and stable, and he seemed to have a lot of energy.

In the depths of the forest, the fourth elder brother reined in the horse, put on the bow first, and aimed at an antler protruding from behind the tree.Su Wei arrived later, seeing that the fourth elder brother's arrow was about to leave his hand, he quickly put his finger to his lips, and blew a whistle.The deer suddenly raised its head, and before the arrow landed, it flew out of the bushes.

"Are you deliberately making trouble for Grandpa?" Fourth Prince lowered the bow in his hand, and turned his head to stare at Su Wei.

Su Wei pinched Jia Taxue's stomach, and swayed to the fourth elder brother, "You are not fast enough, so you can't rely on me. Besides, the animals in this garden are all raised by humans, and some of them shoot around. What's the meaning?"

The fourth elder brother let go of the horse's rein, and walked side by side with Su Wei, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "You are the one who gave the horse your name, right?"

Su Wei turned his head and glared at the fourth elder brother, raised his chin and said, "I'll change Taxue's name to Song Zhen later, see if you are angry?"

"Pine needle?" The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes, "It's quite easy to pronounce, much better than the name of the bad street called Taxue."

Eunuch Su puffed up his cheeks, and the fourth elder brother smiled slightly, took Su Wei's hand and said, "Okay, I thought of you when I saw the precious things, so I decided on the name Hei Wei casually. In this way, my grandfather You ride Heiwei, come and share a ride with your master, okay?"

"No need," Su Wei lay down on Pine Needle's back, put his arms around the horse's neck and turned his head away, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do, I like Pine Needle now, and your Hei Wei is just a dislike use."

I don't know if he understood, Hei Wei shook his head, snorted, and stomped a few steps in the grass with his front hoof.

"Why are you so fierce?" Su Wei turned his head and yelled at him, "Believe it or not, I will change your name to Black Fatty—"

The fourth elder brother was still laughing and listening to Su Wei bickering with a horse at first, but he didn't want Hei Wei to straighten his hind legs after taking a few steps on the spot, "No, get down!"

"I was lying on my stomach—" Su Gonggong, who hadn't reacted yet, hadn't finished speaking when several sharp arrows shot through the air.

After a few clangs, the arrow nailed to the tree trunk next to Brother Si, and there were rustling footsteps in the grass in all directions.

"Drive!" The fourth elder brother threw off the whip, ignored Su Wei who was still confused, and ran into the depths of the forest.

"Hello!" Su Wei straightened up, failed to see the back of the fourth elder brother, but was dazzled by the cold light that suddenly swayed across the grass.

No matter who instigated this group of assassins, since they were able to sneak into the hunting garden of the palace, they must have the determination to succeed or succeed.At such a time when every second counts, no one would be interested in an eunuch. As the figure of the fourth elder brother disappeared into the jungle, Su Wei's surroundings fell into silence for an instant.

"You bastard!" Su Wei yelled at the woods with red eyes, rushed a few steps into the woods with his pine needles in his belly, and retreated back with gritted teeth.There are a lot of people on the other side, and it won't help the past by himself. He must find reinforcements as soon as possible.

On this side, the fourth elder brother rode his horse and rushed left and right in the woods. He remembered that there were many rocks piled up in the northeast corner of the hunting garden, and there were caves in them. When he got there, he could dismount and hide in the caves, and search for him. Wait for reinforcements for a while.

From time to time, arrows pierced through the air from behind, and the fourth elder brother avoided the attacks again and again by crawling on Heiwei's back.

The assassins hiding in the grass also gradually revealed their faces. They were all in black clothes, black trousers, and black scarves on their faces. They communicated with each other by whistling.This group of people is very different from the assassins that the fourth elder brother had contacted in the past. They are better at hiding and assassinating, and they are ruthless and have clear goals.It is not the number of soldiers and guards on any road in the capital, they should come from the people.

At this time, the guards of the royal residence brought by Fu Nai should be patrolling the periphery of the hunting garden, because they knew that they would be alone with Su Wei, so they did not follow closely.The fourth elder brother leaned on the horse, quickly speculating on the actions of this group of people in his mind.The perimeter of the hunting garden is full of personal guards. To be able to appear around him so silently, he must have already been lurking in the hunting garden.However, before they came to the hunting garden, the garden had already been inspected many times by the royal guards.So, how did they escape the inspection of the guards?Is there a traitor inside and outside, or——

A thought flashed through the mind of the fourth elder brother. He reined in the reins and ran sideways in another direction. No matter whether there was a traitor or not, the only place where people could hide in the entire hunting garden was the rock pile in the northeast corner.If I really ran over, I just fell into someone's trap.Now it seems that when the hunting garden was being built, this group of people pretended to be craftsmen and sneaked in. After finishing the work, they hid in the rocks and waited for themselves to come to hunt.

Because the fourth elder brother changed direction temporarily, the assassins who were seen through the trick all speeded up.The tripping rope set in advance in the grass was suddenly pulled up, Hei Wei raised his horse's hooves, and took the fourth elder brother on his back to leap into the air like a rainbow crossing the moon, jumping over a pile of spurs far away, and rushing towards the northwest corner go.

It is a mount personally selected by Prince Yong, and it is the horse king of the vast expanse of grassland outside the pass. Its pride completely ignores the sneaky actions of these young people.

But at this time, on the hill not far away, a huge crossbow supported on a stone pier was slowly pulled up by the three of them, and the blue cold light hummed along with the hem of the robe gradually approaching from the forest. The man in black beside the giant crossbow slowly raised his left hand, just waiting for the black horse to get closer, and then get closer...

A "bang" sound suddenly startled a forest of birds, the man in black on the mountain bag frowned suddenly, and when he looked into the forest again, the black horse had disappeared.

"It's the sound of muskets, no good!" Fu Nai and others who were patrolling outside the hunting garden quickly got on their horses, and the royal guards surrounding the entire hunting garden rushed into the forest from all directions almost at the same time.

At the same time, Su Wei, who was leaning on the tree trunk, was struggling to add gunpowder for the second time.Back then, he had only used the self-fired musket given to him by the fourth elder brother twice, once it ended up with He Zhou, and once it ended up with an assassin.Later, the musket was lost in the wilderness near Liangxiang, and the fourth elder brother gave him another one.

Over the years, it has become Su Wei's habit to carry a musket with him, but he rarely uses it.He rode halfway on the pine needles just now, and he suddenly remembered the wooden box containing the musket in the bag on the horse's back.Afraid that one shot would not be enough, Su Wei refilled the gunpowder twice with trembling hands. At this time, the gun was far from the modern deterrent effect, and it was thanks to the fourth elder brother who lured the assassin away that he was able to add the gunpowder.

After the three shots were fired, the pine needle neighed and raised the horse's hooves. Only then did Su Wei notice that although he was frightened by the gunshots, the pine needle did not leave him half a step from the beginning to the end.

"Good brother," Su Wei rolled and climbed onto the horse, "I know you are no worse than Hei Wei, let's catch up with him today, and let that bastard who left me see!"

The pine needles neighed again, their hind hooves tapped on the ground, and they rushed towards the forest like lightning flashing across the night sky.

In the northwest corner of the hunting garden, a sharp arrow pierced through the back of Heiwei's leg, dripping with blood, but it didn't affect his speed at all.

Brother Si's shoulder was also bruised, and it hurt like a blazing fire. The crossbow arrow that flew in the air just now almost knocked him to the ground, but fortunately, Hei Wei lowered his body in time, allowing him to grab the rein and get back on the horse's back.

This group of people was really well-prepared. Not to mention an ambush in the northeast corner, there were also crossbow arrows, spurs and tripping ropes in the northwest corner.The opponent's purpose is very straightforward, to kill Prince Yong!

During the pursuit, no idiot yelled to stop. Where did this group of people come from? The fourth elder brother still has no idea.Since he escaped so far, his only advantage is Hei Wei's fierceness and speed. In order to hide himself, this group of assassins did not bring a few horses, and only relied on constant sneak attacks and traps to slow down the speed of the fourth elder brother's escape.

"We're going to the edge of the forest soon, there will be more or less guards patrolling over there. Hei Wei, work harder! You heard me, Xiao Wei just shot for help, we will be rescued soon," Si Ah Brother leaned on the horse, he could feel the stiffness and trembling of Heiwei's body, the faster it ran, the more blood flowed...

"Hey——" Hei Wei suddenly let out a long cry, his body fell unsteadily to one side, the whole ground sank, and a huge pit appeared.

The few assassins who followed closely stopped at the edge of the pit with their horse ropes, and slowly raised the crossbow in their hands.Hei Wei at the bottom of the pit turned over and stood up again, leading the fourth elder brother to rush up the pit, but it was so badly injured that its hind legs could no longer use its strength, so it failed to rush up several times.

"Wait a minute, who are you guys?" The fourth elder brother turned his horse's head. At this time, he could no longer leave his back to these people. "Who are you instigated by? Kill me, and you still expect to be able to get out of this city?" Is it a hunting park?"

It's a pity that the opponent didn't intend to waste time at all, and several crossbow arrows shot into the pit one after another, and the fourth elder brother jumped off his horse and narrowly escaped.A few more people from the other party arrived and drew their bowstrings to aim at Prince Yong who was fighting the trapped beast.

At the very moment, several long arrows pierced through the air, and a sound of horseshoes neighed from the west.

The reinforcements arrived, and before the fourth elder brother could show his joy, the assassins by the pit threw the wine jar behind him into the big pit, and one of them lit a fire in front of the fourth elder brother.

There was another "bang", and pine needles like calves rushed out in a cloud of gunpowder-smelling smoke, directly knocking several assassins by the pit to the ground.

The scene was in chaos, and the fourth elder brother became ruthless, turned his head and pulled out the arrow from Heiwei's leg, and rushed out of the pit with its strength.

"We caught up!" Su Wei put his arms around Pine Needle's neck, and when he saw the still alive fourth elder brother, he wanted to bite him.

"Let's go!" The fourth elder brother drew his bow and arrows, shot down the nearest assassin, and brought Su Wei to meet the guards of the palace who rushed over.

"My lord!" Fu Nai and others surrounded him from the south, "Your servant waited for the rescue to come too late, so please forgive me, my lord!"

The fourth elder brother glanced at Fu Nai, and pointed at the hunting garden with his hand holding the whip, "Dig the ground three feet, and there will be no assassin left in the forest!"

"Yes!"

In the evening, Fu Nai escorted the fourth elder brother and Su Wei back to Prince Yong's mansion, because there were assassins lurking in the hunting garden, and the nearby Liangzhuang might not be safe.

Ding Qi was reported to the palace overnight, but fortunately, the fourth elder brother's shoulder was only bruised, and he was not poisoned. He only took medicine and drank Anshen Decoction and he was fine.

Ma Wang Heiwei, who has made great contributions to protecting the Lord, also received medical treatment in time, and recuperated with pine needles in Liangzhuang.

After sending off the princess and the young masters of the West Secondary Courtyard, the East Courtyard temporarily returned to tranquility.

Su Wei sat cross-legged on the couch, the fourth elder brother leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest, the gauze on his shoulder was still stained with blood.

"Just say what you want to say. It's uncomfortable to hold back like this." The fourth elder brother opened his eyes and looked at Su Wei. "Those people came after me. Only when I lure them away will you have time to find them." Reinforcement. In terms of emotion and reason, the master's choice is the most correct at that time."

Su Wei didn't speak, just nodded. After a moment of silence, he crawled up to the fourth elder brother with both hands, grabbed a cushion and put it under his neck, and closed his eyes.

The fourth elder brother looked at him with his head, and slightly curled the corners of his lips. He was indeed tired, and sometimes there was no need to explain some words to some people.

"Go to sleep," the fourth elder brother also lay down, leaning his injured shoulder on Su Wei's back, "After this matter is over, I will take you to see Hei Wei and Pine Needle..."

The news of Prince Yong's hunting and attack spread quickly throughout the capital, and Fu Nai and the others learned their identities from the mouths of two greedy assassins who feared death—the disciples of the Tiandihui Town Hall.

The urgent memorial was sent to the imperial court at eight hundred miles, and Lord Kangxi immediately dropped the inkstone.

"Long live Lord, please calm down," Li Guangdi, a senior scholar at Wenyuan Pavilion, cupped his hands first, "Fortunately, Prince Yong is fine, and the assassins have all been killed. The nine gates of the capital are doing their best to search for these rebellious officials and thieves, and I believe they will soon There has been some progress. Over the years, the common people should have seen the attitude of the emperor's Manchu family in governing the country, and they will not be easily bewitched by others."

Lord Kangxi sighed coldly, sat down in front of the book case and remained silent for a moment, then said, "The decree will be delivered, and the Southern Patrol Army will return to Beijing today!"

March [-],

Yinxiang got out of the car at the gate of Si Ye's mansion, and just a few steps up the steps, a carriage covered with green curtains passed behind him and drove forward.

Yinxiang turned his head to look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw that the carriage finally stopped in front of Baye's mansion.

"Master Thirteen, please come inside, the prince is waiting for you in the main courtyard," the porter reminded with a bowed body.

The thirteenth elder brother regained his composure, nodded, turned around and followed the concierge into the palace, "How is the fourth brother recovering from his injury?"

"Master Thirteen, don't worry, the imperial physician comes to change the medicine every day, and now there is no serious problem."

Baye Mansion

Tong Jia's Erlundai was welcomed into the eighth elder brother's study, and after seeing the ceremony, he cupped his hands and said to the eighth elder brother, "Congratulations to Lord Belle for his daughter. I hope that Lord Belle will not be disgusted by the humble gift."

"Brother is too polite," Eighth Brother curled his lips, "Just that piece of Dushan Sky Blue Jade is already priceless, my daughter is not yet full moon, this net worth is much richer than me as an Ama .”

"Hey, the eldest daughter of Lord Baylor should be like this." Erundai sat on the lower seat of the eighth elder brother, "When Lord Baylor has an eldest son, I will be willing to offer the whole mansion to you."

The eighth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips, his face remained unchanged, and he changed the topic and said, "I don't know how my brother's investigation is going on with the attack on the fourth brother? Is it really the work of the Heaven and Earth Society?"

Erlundai stroked his short beard and nodded, "Tiandihui Zhen Jingtang has been lurking in the capital for many years, and they have their eyes and ears inside and outside the court. This time, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos because of the words of the Third Prince Zhu again among the people. The incident, the assassination of Prince Yong is to avenge the former Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty."

"Zhu Cihong and his two brothers were all killed on the charge of impersonating the royal family of the previous dynasty. They said they wanted to avenge the former prince. In fact, these people also knew that they were the third prince Zhu. Now there is only one left. The eighth elder brother sat behind the desk with the corners of his lips pursed, "However, it is really strange that the people's sudden restoration of vision surged up this time."

Erlundai smiled when he heard the words, lowered his voice and said to the eighth elder brother, "Master Belle's conjecture is correct. This time, what happened to the third prince Zhu did not start from the people, but came from the East Palace."

Brother Eight's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really," Elundai said with a calm expression, "the crown prince not only sent people to spread among the people the words of the third prince Zhu's remnants of restoring Ming Dynasty. Tuo Heqi and others also sent people south many times to collude with the bandits and rebels in Taicang, Jiangsu. Now it seems that it is really going to help the prince to make trouble."

The eighth elder brother raised his mouth slightly, and slowly leaned back in the chair, "Okay, that's great, I finally let me wait until this time..."

Prince Yong's Mansion

Ever since the prince was assassinated, the candles in the darkroom on the East Road had been burning almost all night long.There are so many assassins hidden in the hunting garden, no one will believe that there are no internal traitors who cooperate with each other.

Zhuangtou, who was pulled into the torture room, saw Su Wei sitting at the square table, rushed over and said, "Grandpa Su, we are old acquaintances, how could the slave be a traitor, please help me talk. There is an old man in the slave I'm sorry, those [-] instruments of torture have been used, and they will be useless in the future."

Su Wei sat on the chair with an expression on his face, the teacup in his hand was already thoroughly cold.

Seeing that Su Wei didn't respond, En Chuo shook his head at the big man who was tortured, and the big man stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Tou's neck and pulled him straight back.

"Eunuch Su, please help, Eunuch Su," Zhuangtou firmly grasped Su Wei's robe, "Eunuch Su, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged—"

Su Wei put down the tea bowl slowly, lowered his body, and opened Zhuangtou's hand little by little, "Don't worry, as long as you are really innocent, the palace will take care of your family and support you for the rest of your life. You have to hate Just hate those assassins, blame those who use you and target you."

Zhuangtou was taken away, and the torture room screamed for a while.

When Fu Nai pushed the door and entered, he coughed twice due to the bloody smell in the room, walked up to Su Wei's side and cupped his hands, "Eunuch Su, I heard that Eunuch Li said you were looking for me?"

Su Wei picked up the cool tea bowl again, and slowly scraped the tea that had already lost its foam, "I want to ask you, why did the guards of the palace check several times before the prince entered the garden, but they didn't find any trace of the assassin? "

Fu Nai was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said, "It was the negligence of the servants. When the assassins built the hunting garden, they dug holes under the rocks. When the guards of the palace went to check, they all hid in the holes. Yes, I couldn't find it."

As soon as Su Wei loosened his hand, the tea cover failed to fall onto the tea bowl, but hit the ground directly, and there was a crisp sound out of thin air, which was even more shocking than the wailing in the torture room, "No one noticed, the tripping rope and the What about the trap?"

Fu Nai froze, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "This slave is guilty, this slave's supervision is not strict, this slave is going to plead guilty to the prince."

"The lord has entrusted me with the investigation of the traitors in the house." Su Wei put the tea bowl without the tea cover on the table, "You and I have known each other for a long time, and I don't want to doubt the confidants of the lord." It's just that the assassins are sneaking under our noses now, and our family can't watch the big brother's tragedy happen again. Everyone in the palace, whether it's the long history or the first-class guards, has to be there Walk in this dark room once. Otherwise, the prince's safety will not be guaranteed, and our family will not feel at ease."

Fu Nai froze in place for a moment, since he followed the fourth elder brother, he has been heavily used.Now, although the palace has set up various subordinate officials, even Chang Snamutu's status in front of the prince is far inferior to him.But now, the person who wants to punish him is Su Peisheng.

Fu Nai was silent for a moment, looked at each other with En Chuo, sighed inwardly, and stepped forward, "This slave is the one who committed the crime first, so he should be punished. But this slave's loyalty to the lord is evident, please invite Su Gonggong On behalf of conveying."

Su Wei nodded with a stern face, Fu Nai took off his official hat, uniform, and saber, and walked to the execution room with En Chuo.

"Wait a minute," a familiar voice called out to the two of them, Zhang Bao bowed his body and pushed open the door of the darkroom, and the fourth elder brother walked in slowly, "Fu Nai can't fight."

Su Wei raised his head and looked at the fourth elder brother. He stayed for a long time before he wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by the fourth elder brother.

"The guards of the royal residence who went to inspect the hunting garden were persuaded to drink by some stewards pretending to be assassins, which led to the inappropriate inspection. Fu Nai has been by my king's side all the time. Although he is at fault for this matter, he is not guilty of ignorance. What's more, Fu Naiqing wiped out the assassins in the hunting garden, and even captured a few survivors, so the merits and demerits are equal."

When Fu Nai heard the words, he quickly knelt down and said, "It's the servant who was negligent and dereliction of duty. Mr. Su punished him well, so please ask the prince to punish the servant."

"Okay," the fourth elder brother glanced at the silent Su Wei, then raised his head and said to the crowd, "This time is also a lesson for the entire Prince Yong's mansion. You must be loyal to your duties in the future, be careful, and be negligent again." At that time, this king will never forgive me lightly."

"Slaves, please follow the teachings, thank the Lord for your forgiveness," everyone in the room knelt down and saluted except Su Wei, the fourth elder brother glanced at him, and sighed amusedly.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao got up and motioned for everyone to follow him, leaving the prince and Eunuch Su alone.

There was no one else in the darkroom, Su Weiwu hung his head and did not speak.

The fourth elder brother raised the corner of his mouth, took his hand and said slightly, "What's the matter? Fu Nai has been with the master for so many years, so it is impossible for him to belong to the Tiandihui. Even if you are worried, you can't come up and fight. This palace If all the servants in the house have really passed through this dark room, who will serve the master tomorrow?"

"I'll serve you," Su Wei replied in a muffled voice with his head still lowered.

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, pursed the corners of his lips, and hugged him into his arms, "I promise you that I will never leave you behind if I encounter danger in the future. Let's run away together, and die together, okay?" good?"

"Not good," Su Wei put his forehead against the fourth elder brother's shoulder. Five days had passed since the assassination, and he could still smell blood from the fourth elder brother's body.

The fourth elder brother smiled softly, patted Su Wei on the back and said, "Then no matter where we go from now on, we will bring a large group of guards with us. When we are only in the palace, the two of us will stay alone, okay?"

"Not good," Su Wei puffed his cheeks, poked the fourth elder brother's waist with his hand, and was grabbed by the fourth elder brother.

"Then let's not go out from now on and stay in the mansion every day, okay?" The fourth elder brother took half a step back and squeezed Su Wei's chin.

"Not good," Su Wei raised his head, his eyes were red and sparkling.

"Then what do you want?" The fourth elder brother felt hot, and at this moment he wished he could bring the whole world in front of his eyes and choose for this person, "You can do whatever you want, it's all up to you."

"I want to learn how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and I also need to learn kung fu," Su Wei said to the fourth elder brother, snapping his fingers.

"Those are hard to learn now, and it will hurt your body. Besides, our grandpa Su is very powerful now, and I will find you a new bow and arrow later," the fourth elder brother comforted.

"If you don't teach me, Brother Wang will come back later, and I will let him teach me."

The fourth elder brother suddenly turned cold, "No way!"

Eunuch Su was stunned, "Why don't you count your words? Just now you said that I can do whatever I want."

"It's too stuffy in this room." Brother Si looked left and right, then turned and walked outside, "Hurry up and go back to the East Courtyard, it's time for lunch."

March 23, Prince Yong's Mansion

At noon, there were a rare increase in the number of people in the East Courtyard.

The fourth elder brother was lying on the soft couch in the inner hall, letting Ding Qi check the arrow wound on his shoulder.Fujin sat on the side, with Nianshi, Lishi and two little princesses standing beside him.

Watching Ding Qi re-bandage the shoulders of the fourth elder brother, Fujin said softly, "Doctor Ding, how is the prince's injury?"

"Return to the princess." Ding Qi cupped his hands at Fujin, "The prince suffered only skin trauma, and now the scabs have formed, and it will heal in a few days."

"That's good," Fujin slightly bent his mouth, then turned his head and said to the fourth elder brother, "The prince should be more careful these few days, don't move too much, so as not to stretch the wound."

"Princess, don't worry, I know what's in my heart," the fourth elder brother pulled up his collar and leaned on the cushion beside him.

"This group of people are really daring." Li Shi looked at the gauze that the fourth elder brother had just replaced, frowned and said, "How dare you assassinate the prince at the feet of the emperor? Cutting the capital at the Meridian Gate will make it easier for them."

The fourth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak, his expression gradually showed a little tiredness.

Mo Yaqi looked around, there were many servants serving in the room, but there was no such person.

Ilha, who was next to Mrs. Li, sniffled, leaned closer to the fourth elder brother and said, "Ama, does your wound still hurt? If itches after scabbing, don't scratch it, or it will leave a wound." Scarred."

The fourth elder brother was amused by the youngest daughter's words, raised his chin slightly and said, "Ilha, don't worry, Ama doesn't hurt or itch now, the wound is very shallow and won't leave a scar."

"Sister, I was frightened by Nanny Li's words," Mo Yaqi saw this, and smiled, picked up an exquisite food box from her feet, and said while taking out the snacks in the box, "This is what the girls learn to eat." Mother Li’s handicrafts, specially made hibiscus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus rolls for Ama, mixed a lot of red bean and longan powder when kneading the dough, it is the most nourishing blood and nourishing body. For these few dishes of dim sum, Yi Erha gave all his hands It's worn out. When Mother Li found out, she kept telling her not to touch the wound with water, and not to scratch it if it was itchy, otherwise it would leave scars, and she would not be able to marry in the future. My sister heard this, but she took care of it."

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and the originally slightly restrained atmosphere eased a lot.

"Sister——" Ilha stamped her feet complainingly, her face flushed.

"Okay," the fourth elder brother smiled, and took Yilha's hand and said, "Let Ama see, the daughter's house is the most delicate, so you have to be careful at ordinary times. But it doesn't matter if there are scars, Ama will find a good home for you and your sister."

"Ama also laughed at me, but my sister is just talking about me." Ilha turned his wrist over to show the fourth elder brother, "Nurse put on the ointment, and there is no trace left."

"That's right," Mo Yaqi continued the conversation with the corner of his mouth bent, "My sister got the ointment, but she wiped it on time and on the spot three times a day, and she was more diligent than usual in doing her homework."

The elders laughed again, Ilha pouted at his elder sister angrily, lowered his head and said to the fourth elder brother, "Ama needs to eat more, my sister and I have done it many times before we can barely catch up with Li. Mammy?"

"Okay, okay," the fourth elder brother hurriedly picked up a piece of osmanthus roll and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, it has been passed down from Madam Li. It's neither sweet nor greasy, and it just suits your taste." .”

Yilha was overjoyed when he heard this, and coaxed the fourth elder brother to eat two pieces, his daughter's coquettishness was all over his triumphant face.

Standing aside, Nianshi whispered a few words in the ear of the maid Lingxi, Lingxi bowed and retreated, and after a while brought a bowl of wolfberry and pork liver soup.

Nian pursed the corners of his lips, and put the soup bowl on the kang table in front of the fourth elder brother, "I can't compare to the filial piety of the two little princesses, so I only asked the small kitchen to cook a bowl of wolfberry and pork liver soup, and the prince just went with it." Let’s use some snacks, it also nourishes the body and nourishes energy, and it can help the prince’s injury to some extent.”

Li glanced secretly at Nian, and stood behind Fujin with a sneer on his face.

The fourth elder brother took the spoon and slowly scooped it into the bowl, "This wolfberry is a rare color, and it is bigger than ordinary ones."

"This is a wild wolfberry from the mountains of Shu." Nian lowered his head slightly and said, "It was sent to Beijing by my concubine's second brother. It was only because the production was too small this year that it could not be put on the stage, so I didn't dare Send it to the prince. The second elder brother specifically mentioned in the letter that it will be sent to the palace when new fruits are grown next year and those with outstanding quality will be selected."

"Nian Gengyao is a caring person." The fourth elder brother bent his lips and lowered his head to scoop up a piece of pork liver to eat. "He has made great achievements in Sichuan, and even Huang Ama praised him frequently."

"It all depends on the prince's promotion," Nian said slightly, "Second brother got the post of military counselor again this time, my concubine's father has been thinking about entering the mansion to thank the prince, but it's a pity that he has not been in good health, no Dare to meet the prince."

"The old man has worked too much for too many years." The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and ate a bowl of pork liver soup. "Nian Gengyao is indeed a general, and he should be reused. At this time, talking about those red tapes is just to tell him to give birth and take care of his body.”

"Thank you, my lord," Nian bowed down.

Coming out of the East Courtyard, Yi Erha followed Li Shi and took a step first, while Mo Yaqi wandered into the depths of the East Garden alone.

The East Garden of Prince Yong's Mansion has now been expanded to a considerable scale, with pavilions, ponds and streams, and green trees.Mo Yaqi pretended to be something in his heart, and he didn't let the maids follow too closely, and walked to the back of the rockery.Before he could go around the bushes, he heard the sound of clicking, clicking, coming from behind the tree.

"Who's there?" Mo Yaqi poked his head to look.

Su Wei held up a pair of big scissors, paused, and hurriedly leaned over to Mo Yaqi, "I've seen Da Gege, did the servant scare Da Gege?"

Mo Yaqi shook his head, and the maids trotted to catch up. Mo Yaqi waved at them and said, "It's okay, it's Eunuch Su here, I'll talk to Eunuch Su for a while."

The maids waited outside, Su Wei reached out to help Mo Yaqi down the stone steps, walked to the stone table behind the rockery and sat down.

"I said, why didn't I see Eunuch Su serving in the East Courtyard today?" Mo Yaqi looked at the big scissors in Su Wei's hand, and said a little funnyly, "It's true, Eunuch Su, there are so many flowers in the mansion. Carpenter, why use Mr. Su to trim flower branches?"

"Uh," Su Wei clicked the scissors twice, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Today is not a servant's shift, I just join in the fun here when I have free time, and I have to trouble the gardeners to repair it later. "

Mo Yaqi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and said in silence for a moment, "I heard that Eunuch Su made great contributions again when Ama was attacked this time. I don't know if Eunuch Su was injured? Are those thieves really serious? Fierce?"

"Of course." Su Wei threw the scissors on the ground, gesticulated as a storyteller, and danced and said, "Big Gege doesn't know how powerful those assassins are. There are two huge crossbows on the mountain bag, if they touch a little bit, they can nail the whole person to the tree. At that time, when the reinforcements and I arrived, the prince happened to be chased into the pit, and it was very close..."

Mo Yaqi leaned on his chin with one hand, stared at his eyes with relish, and finally slapped his hands, "Heiwei is such a good horse. Without him, the consequences would be unimaginable. The pine needles are also very powerful. Eunuch Su will stand up again this time." You have done a great job, did Ama say how to reward you?"

"Reward?" Su Wei blinked, then touched the back of his head and said, "It's the duty of the slaves to protect the master, so there is no need for any reward. As long as the prince is safe and sound, the slaves will not ask for anything."

"I don't want anything..." Mo Yaqi pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said to the strange Su Wei, "If Eunuch Su didn't enter the palace, what kind of person would he marry as his wife?"

"Ah?" Su Wei was taken aback, blinked his eyes for a long time and said, "The slave entered the palace at the age of eight, I really haven't thought about this issue. Probably, is it a gentle and virtuous one? Or a lively and lovely one? En..." Su Wei buried his head in thought for a long time, "It's just someone with good character who likes each other."

Moya laughed when she heard the words, "Eunuch Su is really straightforward." After speaking, she took a deep breath, looked up at the blue sky and said, "It's true that you like each other, who doesn't want to be with someone you like?" People live a lifetime..."

Su Wei was stunned for another moment, and only now did he realize that their family's elder brother Ge Ge had a spring heart.

"But I don't quite understand." Mo Yaqi lowered her head, looked at Su Wei with a little inquiring eyes, "what does it feel like to like someone? Song Ci says, the heart is not old, the love is endless, the heart is like a double screen, There are thousands of knots in it. It seems very beautiful, very sad, and very happy..."

"This," Su Wei pursed his lips. He really wanted to express his feelings, but his mind went blank at the critical moment.

Mo Yaqi smiled self-deprecatingly, frowned at Su Wei and said, "I don't know why, I can only say these things to Eunuch Su. The old nuns in the mansion read "The Commandments of Women" every day, "Internal Training", what is "the husband has the right to remarry, and the woman has no suitable text", what is "the husband is the sky. The sky cannot be escaped, and the husband cannot be separated." Words are ruined."

Su Wei didn't interrupt, Mo Yaqi, contrary to her usual calmness and peace, continued to talk to Su Wei, "Actually, Mother Li is better, she won't let us stick to the rules and regulations in the Four Books for Women. However, Mother Li taught What is given to us is only how women gain a foothold in the back house, how to control subordinates, how to
