Kangxi 48 years

December 26, at the foot of the imperial city

On Brother Thirteen's carriage, Deng Yu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yinxiang, "Master, drink some tea to keep you warm. I don't know how long the morning meeting will be until today."

"Chen Bing at the border, and drought in Shandong, Huang Ama himself can't rest." Yinxiang sighed lightly, took a sip from the tea bowl, "Recently, the fourth brother is also very busy, and I have to accompany him again today. Go to the official department."

"Prince Yong has always relied on the Lord the most." Deng Yu carried the teapot and added some more to the Thirteenth Elder Brother, "I see, the Prince is closer to you than to the Fourteenth Lord."

Yinxiang frowned, raised his head and glared at Deng Yu, "Don't talk nonsense! Yinti is the younger brother of the fourth brother, so the fourth brother should naturally love him more."

"Yes, yes, the slave made a slip of the tongue," Deng Yu smiled and slapped himself.

Yin Xiang shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked out and said, "Why are you walking so slowly today?"

Deng Yu hurriedly opened the car window, looked forward, and said, "The prince's carriage is in front, I think the adults from the court have all rushed together, it's good to leave the long street."

Yin Xiang nodded, before the tea lid in his hand touched the tea bowl, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, accompanied by the screams of many servants and the neighing of chariots and horses!

"Oh, my lord!" Deng Yu exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Yinxiang pushed open the window on the other side, only to see chaos at the end of the long street!

The largest carriage with red gai and yellow curtains, because the horses were frightened, was leaning back frequently, and it was about to fall over!

"Fourth Brother!"

Yinxiang got out of the car in a hurry and rushed over with the guards!

Fu Nai and the others who were guarding the carriage were desperately holding on to the reins.

Both the coachman and Zhang Qilin were knocked to the ground. If they hadn't rolled on the spot, they would have turned into meat under the horse's hooves at that moment.

In the carriage, both Su Wei and the fourth elder brother were shaken by the shaking frame!

The fourth elder brother held Su Wei in his arms. Fortunately, the car walls were covered with cushions, and the two of them were not injured for the time being.

However, Eunuch Su is not very obedient, he always wanted to escape!

The fourth elder brother hugged him tightly, protecting him between himself and the mat, lowered his voice and said angrily, "Be more honest!"

"The horses are startled, I have to press the cart!" Su Wei struggled to get up, but was pushed back by the fourth elder brother!

"What car will you press? Leave it to Fu Nai and the others—"

Just as he was talking, the carriage swayed violently again, the horse pulling the carriage raised its hooves high, and several guards around were kicked to the ground.

Su Wei took advantage of Si elder brother's momentary inability to use his strength, pushed him away, and rushed to the car door scrambling!

"Eunuch Su!"

Zhang Qilin was the first to see Su Peisheng who pushed the car door, and he blushed so anxiously that if the driver hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed up immediately!

"Hurry up and think of a way, you don't even want your head! Let me go! Eunuch Su, be careful—"

Su Wei grabbed the rein of the horse and put his foot against the car door, trying to stabilize the horse's spinning pace.

Unexpectedly, the horse was too frightened and didn't listen to the instructions at all. Su Wei was thrown by the horse's head so hard that he almost flew out of the carriage!

The fourth elder brother stood on the spot, grabbed Su Wei's arm with one hand, and pulled him back to the carriage!

At the same time, the horse pulling the cart let out a long neigh, the shaft of the cart snapped, the rope broke, and the cart was pulled out sideways!

All the people present screamed, and all the guards rushed forward, trying to block the car with people!

In a critical moment, a tall man in a civil official uniform rushed out of the crowd!

He grabbed the falling rope, and I don't know how much strength the man exerted, but the turbulent footsteps of the frightened horse stopped accordingly!

The man yelled loudly, turned over on his horse in the air, the horse neighed, and he replaced the rein with a rope, and strangled it around the neck severely!

The raised hooves fell halfway, and the frightened horse let out a mouthful of foul air, its eyes widened, and it sprinted left and right on the spot for a long time, but failed to throw off the people on it, and finally stomped its hooves twice, quietly down.

Zhang Qilin, Fu Nai, and all the guards felt like they were reborn as human beings in an instant. Before the car door was pushed open, they swarmed over!

"Fourth Brother!"

Yinxiang ran to the door of the car, and the fourth prince was helped down by Fu Nai. Eunuch Su, who was following behind, had a bruise on his forehead, but fortunately it was nothing serious.

"I'm fine, I didn't suffer any injuries," the fourth elder brother patted Yinxiang on the shoulder, looked back at Su Wei who was rubbing his head, and then turned his gaze to the strong man who had just got off the horse.

"What's your name?" Brother Si asked.

"Return to the lord," the strong man bowed his hands and saluted, "The humble minister Sichuan alternate, Yue Zhongqi!"

"Yue Zhongqi?" The fourth elder brother thought for a while, "Do you have anything to do with the former admiral of Sichuan, Yue Shenglong?"

"My lord, Yue Shenglong is my father," Yue Zhongqi replied.

The fourth elder brother came to a sudden, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son. It is thanks to you that the king is safe and sound today."

"My humble minister is ashamed," Yue Zhongqi bowed his head.

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Another day, this king invites you to the palace to have a talk, don't refuse."

"I don't dare, thank you, my lord, for your inquiry." Yue Zhongqi saluted the fourth elder brother again, without taking any credit, she respectfully withdrew.

"Fourth brother, let's ask the imperial physician to take a look," Yinxiang said worriedly, "You take my car back to the residence, and I will go into the palace and talk to Huang Ama."

"Yes, my lord, let's go back to the mansion first," Zhang Qilin was also in a cold sweat.

The fourth elder brother looked back at Su Wei who was still rubbing his head, nodded and said, "Then the king will go back to the mansion first, Yinxiang, you will come to see me later when you come to court."

"Yes," Yinxiang agreed, and sent the fourth elder brother to his own car. He was relieved to see the cars and horses driving out of the crowd.

"Father!"

Deng Yu hurriedly ran behind Yinxiang, "The green curtain car stopped it just now, but there was no one in the car, and I couldn't tell which one it belonged to."

Yinxiang's face darkened, "I'm just saying that at the foot of the imperial city, how could such a careless thing happen. There is no trace on the car, and someone must have deliberately arranged it."

"Then what should we do? Do you want the slaves to send people around to inquire?" Deng Yu asked.

"It turns out that he is just a small fish and shrimp," Yinxiang pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Go, enter the palace!"

Prince Yong's Mansion

Inside the East Courtyard, Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin stopped the visiting Fujin and young masters from outside.

In the inner hall, Ding Qi was rubbing ointment on Eunuch Su.

"My lord, don't worry, the impact wasn't serious. It's just a layer of bruise. After applying ointment, it will be fine in a few days." Ding Qi put down the medicine bottle and wrapped Su Wei with a layer of gauze that was unnecessary.

The fourth elder brother let out a sigh of relief, and Ding Qi checked the two of them before leaning over to leave.

"Nine times out of ten what happened today was done by brother ten again!"

Su Wei picked up a piece of red bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "I told you to leave that brat Li Wei alone! Now it's good, he's back to work in the official department in peace, and we've bumped into a demon!"

"Yin Qu is becoming less and less restrained in doing things!"

The fourth elder brother raised his head and took a sip of tea, and reached out to touch the gauze on Su Wei's head, "Li Wei's words are right, my brother did something wrong, and I, as an elder brother, cannot be irresponsible!"

"Don't go too far!"

Su Wei dodged the fourth elder brother's hand, and crossed his legs on the couch, "It's too embarrassing for the officials to make a big mess, I'm afraid Long Live Lord won't let you pursue it forever. Or—"

Grandpa Su thought for a while, then suddenly smiled wickedly, "Why don't you use my method, find a night when no one is around, and put a sack on Elder Brother Ten! Then, hehe..."

The fourth elder brother shook his head helplessly, and put down the teacup, "I have to let Yinbi know that there are some things that he can't do! Some people, he can't afford to mess with!"

Qianqing Palace, side hall

Lord Kangxi leaned on the dragon bed, and Yinxiang stood in the middle of the room.

"How is the person? Did the imperial doctor go to see it?"

"Back to the emperor, Prince Yong's mansion has already announced the imperial doctor, so there should be nothing serious," Wei Zhu said from the side.

"How could you startle the horse so well?" Master Kangxi turned to look at Yinxiang.

"Returning to Huang Ama, someone deliberately hit the frame of the fourth brother," Yinxiang cupped his hands and said, "As soon as the incident happened, Erchen immediately sent his men to chase the carriage. No. Strangely, no one didn’t say anything, and there wasn’t even any equipment in the car, so it was impossible to track it down! Therefore, Erchen suspected that it was an empty car that had been arranged long ago to assassinate the fourth brother. !"

Lord Kangxi frowned, pondered for a moment, and told Wei Zhu, "Go to the warehouse to get some snow ginseng that I use and send it to the fourth child, let him rest for a few days, and don't go to court."

"Yes," Wei Zhu took the order and left.

"Huang Ama, should this matter be handed over to the Clan Mansion for investigation? My son wants to—"

"Forget it," Lord Kangxi interrupted Elder Brother Thirteen, "Since Yinzhen is fine, don't make any big moves. Now that there are many affairs in the court, there is no need to cause alarm in the court and the public because of an accident."

"But, Huang Ama—"

"I'm tired!" Master Kangxi closed his eyes, making it clear that he didn't want to mention it any more.

Yinxiang was very wronged for his fourth brother, and stood in a stalemate for a while, and finally, he had to salute and leave.

After leaving the Rijing Gate, Yinxiang ran into the tenth elder brother Yinji who was wandering around in the local area.

"Hey, Yinxiang, did you run errands for the fourth brother?" Yin Ni cocked his eyebrows and raised his chin, "What? I heard that Huang Ama rewarded the fourth brother with two snow ginseng, and I didn't even bother to ask any more questions. ?”

Yinxiang pursed his lips tightly, but there was not much change on his face, "Brother Ten is well-informed. As soon as Huang Ama gave you something, you will know. It is this Eunuch Wei's lax tone, or Brother Ten's." Ears, have they grown to Qianqing Palace?"

Yinyu was taken aback for a moment, and then gave a harsh "Bah", "What are you? Shaoyinyang talked to me strangely! Your fourth brother was born a few years early, and he still insisted on Chengqian Palace from the beginning You are even more of a pitiful scum, your mother-in-law, Huang Ama probably doesn't even remember her name!"
