Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 47 years

Laba Festival, Prince Yong's Mansion

A lot of ice lanterns of different shapes have been added to the East Garden. As night falls, the garden is bright and lively.

After returning from the banquet in the palace, Fujin also took the women in the back house and the children who had been suffocating all winter to the East Garden to enjoy the lanterns.

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Su Wei followed Da Ge through a bamboo forest.

Mo Yaqi listened to Su Wei's statement, and smiled softly, his delicate and elegant face was like a red plum blossoming under the pale light, "I said why Ilha has always been evasive these days, it was because of this thing."

"That's not it." Su Wei also lowered his head and smiled, "It's also a slave who doesn't think carefully. Qiuxin doesn't know the rules. Whether she is with Da Gege or Er Gege is just doing some rough work. She just wanted to follow the rules. The assignment is just that. Who knew that the servant was lazy for a while and caused such a disturbance."

"It's no wonder Mr. Su," Mo Yaqi sighed helplessly, "It's Li Eniang who thinks too much. Irha doesn't have Lan Fu by his side, so there is a shortage of people. Just tell me about it. Why bother to make such a big circle? Tired Ilha cried in the ice and snow."

Su Wei bent his lips and did not speak, but he became more certain of his judgment in his heart.Their big family has grown up to this day, even if one day they really want to marry to Mongolia, it will definitely be the second "Princess Sea Clam" in the Qing Dynasty, and it will definitely be enough for the future son-in-law to drink a pot.

"Ouch! Second elder brother, third elder brother, come down quickly—"

There was a sudden noise not far away, and Su Wei and Mo Yaqi who were talking hurriedly followed the sound.

Fujin, Nian's family, and Li's family also came in a hurry with the support of the girls. When the servants raised the lanterns in their hands and everyone saw the two small figures on the rockery clearly, Fujin and Niu Hulu's family almost fainted. past.

There was another commotion among the servants, and many young eunuchs rushed to climb up the rockery.

Several nuns serving the little elder brother stood under the rock with pale faces, shaking the handkerchief vigorously and said, "Don't move, my little ancestor! Don't move, don't go to the side!"

"Where are the guards, where are the guards?" Niu Hulu's face was pale, but he was still sober. While greeting the guards, he slapped the eunuchs, "What are you still doing standing there? Go over there quickly! Take the brothers down!"

When Su Wei and Mo Yaqi arrived, Hong Pan and Hong Yun stood tremblingly on the rockery holding hands, while a group of slaves below screamed.More than a dozen young eunuchs scrambled to climb up the rockery, but unfortunately there was a lot of snow on the rocks, the more anxious they were, the more slippery they were.After a while, several young eunuchs fell into a heap and brought down a pile of gravel, and the crowd screamed again.

Hong Pan and Hong Yun originally wanted to stand on a high place to look at the ice lanterns in the garden, but they didn't feel afraid when they climbed onto the rockery while the slaves were not paying attention.But who knows, a few nuns rushed over and started screaming when they saw the two of them.As a result, more and more people gathered below, each of them looked like an enemy, which scared the two children.

There is still snow on the rockery, and it is easy to slip if you step on it unsteadily. In addition, the lanterns under the rockery are dangling, and the two children can't see clearly what is in front of them. His legs became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even stand up.

"Shut up, all of you—" Su Wei walked up to the people and roared at the chaotic servants, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.

Fujin was helped by the maids to sit on the stone bench beside her, her eyes fixed on the top of the rockery, but she couldn't say a word. She was a mother who had lost a child, and no one could understand her current situation. fear.

"You all stay away from the rockery!" Su Wei pointed to the servants under the rockery, "Don't shake the lanterns in your hands! Where is Fu Nai, call Fu Nai quickly!"

The clever servant ran out quickly, and Su Wei walked to the bottom of the rockery with a lantern, and said to the two little princes with a gentle face, "Don't be afraid, little masters, this mountain is not high, and your ama has climbed it before." What about the rockery in the Imperial Garden, that mountain is so steep and high."

"Ama?" Hong Hui held Hong Yun halfway in his arms, staring straight at Su Gonggong under the light, and gradually calmed down his bewildered heart.

"That's not it," Su Wei looked relaxed, with the corners of his eyebrows slightly raised, "At that time, your grandma was no older than you, and you didn't let Eunuch Su support you when you climbed up. You just moved down bit by bit by yourself. Eunuch Su is so scared..."

The two villains on the mountain were having fun, Fu Nai had already run over with his bodyguards, Mo Yaqi waved at them, Fu Nai knowingly led them around to the back of the rockery, and climbed up lightly.

"The guards are going up to pick you up." Mo Yaqi also walked slowly in front of the people, but his expression was quite serious, "You two naughty bastards, how did you scare everyone? After a while, hurry up and apologize to Fujin, let Ah Ma knows, I will punish you all!"

The two little adults looked at each other, lowered their heads dejectedly.Fu Nai had already led people to the top of the mountain, hugged the two little brothers in his arms, and went down the rockery safely.

"Hongpan makes amends to Fujin, to the girls, to the sisters," Hongpan knelt down to plead guilty after getting off Fu Nai's arms, his small body was covered with snowflakes, and Niu Hulu's heart ached when he saw it .

"Hongyun also apologizes to Erniang, and to the sisters," the third elder brother knelt beside Hongpan, and carefully glanced at the silent Fujin.

Fujin still didn't make a sound, and the two little elder brothers could only kneel on the spot.

Niu Hulu looked around, bit his lip and took two steps forward, "It's all the slaves who are not dedicated to their duties. Fortunately, there is no danger, and Fujin should not be overly concerned, and be careful of his own body. Brothers are still young, Now that I'm frightened again, why don't we go back to the backyard first, or call the imperial doctor to show the two children."

"Rong Yue said the same thing," Nian Shi also took a step forward and said, "The slaves made a mistake, and they should be punished later. Right now, the brothers' bodies are the priority."

Fujin raised his head slowly, glanced lightly at Nianshi, his cold eyes fell on the two shrinking little men, "Hongyun——"

"Er Niang," Hong Yun shrank back unconsciously, shaking his body.

"Who brought you to the rockery?" Fujin's voice seemed to be icy, "You wanted to climb it yourself?"

"No, it's not," Hong Yun's face turned pale, and he almost subconsciously denied it.

Niu Hulu's face turned blue, and he looked at Fujin in disbelief.

On the other hand, Hongpan pursed his lips, bowed his body and said, "Hongpan led my younger brother to climb up, we want to stand higher and see better—"

"Presumptuous!" Fujin slapped the stone wall beside him, "Who taught you to spoil your younger brother? What's your idea of ​​bringing Hongyun to the top of the rockery?"

"Fujin!" Niu Hulu fell to his knees with a plop, "Although Hongpan was born a little earlier, he is not yet four years old. What can he do? The two children are just a little mischievous. Fujin wants to Are you saying that the concubine intends to murder the prince's son?"

Hearing this, Fujin snorted coldly, but his face became even paler, "I said that Hong Yun usually dare not go out of the courtyard alone, how could he have the courage to abandon his slaves and climb up the rockery? Even if you didn't order it on purpose, Hong Pan is so bold If so, you will be held accountable!"

"Yes, I know my mistake." Niu Hulu straightened up, with tears in his eyes, but his expression was extremely tough, "I was incapable of teaching my son, and almost made a big mistake, Fujin can punish him however he wants. But this concubine has absolutely no intention of murdering Elder Hong Yun, Hong Pan is still young, he can't bear the charge, so I ask Fujin to learn from him!"

Fujin turned his head away, and stopped looking at Niu Hulu, Niu Hulu simply lowered his body, ready to wait.

"It's none of Erniang's business," Hongpan didn't know how things turned out like this, but seeing his Erniang kneeling on the ground, his heart became more and more flustered, "It's all Hongpan's fault, Hongpan is naughty, don't blame Erniang mother--"

"Fujin," Shiyue also knelt on the ground, interrupting Hongpan's crying, "I know that Fujin is nervous and the two little elder brothers, what happened today is indeed scary. But brothers are still young after all, children are disobedient It's a common thing, it's freezing cold today, and it's the Laba Festival, can you ask Fujin not to pursue it for the time being, let the two children see the imperial physician first!"

"Yes, Fujin," Mo Yaqi pulled up Hong Yun who was on the ground, and winked at him, "Look at Hong Yun's little face is flushed from the cold. Hong Yun, hurry up, coax your mother-in-law!"

"Er Niang..." Hong Yun carefully pulled Fujin's sleeve, and Fujin's expression moved slightly.

Nian pursed his lips, turned around and ordered, "Hurry up and invite Imperial Physician Ding into the mansion, the two young elder brothers have to take a look, and Fujin has to feel the pulse."

"Yes," Ling Xi bowed down.

Under everyone's persuasion, Fujin finally got up and was about to go back to the backyard, but he didn't want to say in a cold voice when he passed by Niu Hulu, "Niu Hulu taught my elder brother badly, and almost made a big mistake, punishing you to kneel here One night, reflect on yourself!"

"Fujin——" Hong Pan immediately turned pale, and regardless of the snow all over his body, he rushed over and hugged Fujin's thigh, "Fujin, if you want to punish me, you can punish me, don't punish my mother—"

"Hongpan!" Niu Hulu interrupted Hongpan's crying, "You are obedient, go back with Wu Erniang quickly, if Erniang is wrong, she should be punished, don't disturb Fujin again."

"I don't," Hong Pan shook off the hands of the nuns, and threw himself back to hug Niu Hulu, "I won't leave Er Niang, I won't leave Er Niang..."

"Fu Jin," Shiyue's eyes were also red, and she knelt in front of Fujin, "It's very cold outside, and there is snow in the sky, kneeling for one night will definitely hurt her body. Why not punish Rong Yue to kneel in the Buddhist hall, It’s good to just contemplate behind closed doors for a few months.”

"Sister Wu," Geng Shiyue, who was standing aside, shook his head at Shiyue. Fujin's face was already abnormally pale. They all experienced the scene of brother Honghui's death. Not for nothing.It is not wise to beg for mercy now.

"Er Niang, Er Niang..." Hong Pan was still hugging Niu Hulu and crying, Shiyue looked around and really didn't know what to do.Seeing Hongpan crying, Hongyun also began to sob and cry, and the East Garden was gloomy for a while.

"What's going on?" The fourth elder brother finally rushed over from the main courtyard. He had a banquet for many close courtiers today, but Su Wei made up a lot of reasons to drag him out of the house.

"Ama, Ama," Hongpan scrambled and knelt down in front of the fourth elder brother, shaking his clothes and said, "Save my mother, it's too cold outside, Hongpan doesn't want my mother to kneel Outside."

The fourth elder brother helped Hongpan up, hugged him in his arms, frowned, swept over Fujin and Shiyue, and said in a low voice, "Get up, there are outsiders here today, don't let people see the joke. "

"Yes," Shiyue and Niu Hulu saluted, and stood up slowly.

Fujin still had a pale face, but held Hong Yun tightly with one hand.

The fourth elder brother sighed silently, turned his head and told Nian Shi, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at Fujin and the two elder brothers, and prescribe a calming medicine for each of them."

"Yes," Nian bowed down to salute.

The fourth elder brother walked up to Fujin again, stretched out his hand to touch Hong Yun's head, and said in a soft voice, "Comfort your mother, don't be so naughty in the future. You are the son of Ama, so be calm and steady. To set a good example for my brothers and sisters."

"Yes, my son knew he was wrong," Hong Yun wiped away his tears with a sob.

The fourth elder brother bent his lips and nodded, raised his body and said to Fujin, "You should also have a good rest, don't think too much. Hongpan is still young, and Niu Hulu didn't do it on purpose, don't scare the children."

The fourth elder brother's words imperceptibly affirmed Hong Yun's status as the first son, and made him above several heirs. Fujin's expression finally eased, and there was a little blush on his face. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I was frightened for a while. , I made a fuss over a molehill. Please rest assured, my lord, it won’t happen in the future.”

The turmoil that had been raging all night finally calmed down, and all the female relatives left the East Garden, Su Wei let out a long sigh of relief.If he didn't see that the situation was wrong and brought the fourth elder brother here in time, I don't know how this matter will be resolved in the end.

The fourth elder brother frowned, ended the banquet early, and took Su Wei back to the East Courtyard.

"Fu Jin is also too sensitive." Su Wei poured wine and tea for the fourth elder brother, and sat cross-legged beside him, "However, we can't blame Fujin, after all——"

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Su Wei stretched out his hand and was held back by the fourth elder brother. The two were silent for a long time.

"What happened today reminds me of many years ago," the fourth elder brother said in a low voice, "This is how the dispute between the second brother and the eldest brother was buried."

Su Wei shivered for no reason...

After the Laba Festival, Lord Kangxi decreed that Tuo Heqi's bones and ashes should be thrown away, and his son should be hanged.The rumors in the court about the restoration of the deposed prince disappeared in an instant.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Elder Fourteen lived up to expectations and wiped out more than [-] pirates, and captured the criminal De Lin, who was escorted to Beijing.

After strict examination by the Ministry of Punishment, Delin confessed, and the Sanju Judiciary ordered him to be executed by Ling Chi on the grounds that "Delin is a person who has repeatedly committed serious crimes and was executed according to the order.Although his father, Ahazhan, died of illness early in the morning, he was still sentenced to open the coffin and kill the corpse for the crime of deceiving the emperor.Delin's son, Bai Tong, was sentenced to be hanged and imprisoned for participating in the conspiracy, and all other local officials who were not aware of the investigation were sentenced to prison as usual.

After repeated bloody storms, the 48th year of Kangxi finally opened the curtain.

The eighth day of the first lunar month

A stuttering sound of reciting came from the East Courtyard, "Under the Yugu Terrace, the clear river water, how many, how many—"

Hong Pan stood in the middle of the room with his little hands behind his back, carefully glanced at the fourth elder brother who was sitting behind the desk, and then sneaked a glance behind him.

Su Wei stood behind the fourth elder brother, opened his mouth wide, and reminded each word in a hoarse voice, "Okay, people, tears!"

"Oh, how many pedestrians wept in the middle, looking at Chang'an from the northwest, pity the countless mountains. The green hills can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward, the river, the river is late—" Hong Pan began to look at the sky with his fingers again, the fourth elder brother half-closed his eyes, Leaning on the back of the chair, I don't know if I heard it or not.

"Jiang, Wan, Zheng, Sorrow, Yu," Su Wei winked at Hongpan, "Mountain, mountain, hey, what's the matter with the mountain?"

There was the sound of flipping a book behind him, and a certain prince who had been pretending to be stupid couldn't stand it any longer. He slapped the table and roared angrily, "Go back and copy it a hundred times, you two together!"

Evening

Snowflakes fell again in the sky above the capital, a carriage avoided the crowd all the way, and stopped hastily at the back door of Baye Mansion.

"Did he find you?" Brother Ba frowned, and looked at the nervous Liu He, "It's because——"

"Yes," Liu He pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head and said, "I don't know where Master Nalan got the news. These days, his subordinates are always going around the slave's mansion, trying their best to get the slave Get the news."

Brother Eight turned around and leaned on the coffee table, his face paled instantly, and he almost crushed the tea bowl on the table with one hand, "Yinti? It turned out to be Yinti!"

Liu He raised his head in confusion, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Master Baylor said that the one who drugged Lord Baylor back then was—Brother Fourteen?"

"If it wasn't for him, where did Nalan Kuixu get the news? Ever since he went to Yinti's mansion, his attitude has become very strange, and his subordinates have moved frequently these days," Eighth Brother said with a cold expression. As if poisoned, "Master is not blind. If the Nalan family betrayed the first time, they will naturally betray the second time. It's just that I didn't expect Yinqi to have such vicious intentions. It seems that he made up his mind early on. The idea is to take my place."

"Well," Liu He frowned and thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "Even if Brother Fourteen disclosed this to Lord Nalan, it doesn't mean that Brother Fourteen was the one who poisoned Lord Baylor back then. After all, the cause of that incident was too accidental and ingenious, unless it was someone who had close contact with Lord Baylor's back house. Otherwise, Lord Baylor wouldn't have suspected his own family from the beginning, would he?"

Liu He said it carefully, but Brother Ba knew in his heart that he really didn't think about outsiders from the beginning, and the one who bore the brunt was the most jealous Ba Fujin.But now, looking back, maybe he was really completely deceived.

"Lord Belle," Liu He said again, "No matter who did this, it must be investigated now. At the beginning, Lord Belle suppressed this matter because he didn't want to reveal the news, which would cause extra trouble. But now, the news is gone. It has been spread. If it was instigated by an outsider, then this person's hands are equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of Lord Baylor."
