Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 49 years

May [-]th, East Courtyard

Dagong Su, who is doing nothing, is just holding a chessboard to harass Prince Yong, who is concentrating on studying the situation at the border.

Zhang Qilin ran in quickly from outside the door, panting before entering the door, "My lord, Big Gege is back!"

When Mo Yaqi walked into the East Garden, Si Age and Su Wei came out to welcome him.

"Ama!" Mo Yaqi's eyes turned red when he saw the fourth elder brother, and he knelt down on the ground and cried, "My daughter sneaked back, please punish me, Ama."

"Get up," the fourth elder brother helped Mo Yaqi, wiped her tears and said, "How can you sneak back? Doesn't Fujin know?"

Mo Yaqi pursed his lips and shook his head, "I was worried that something might happen to Ama, so I didn't listen to Fujin's words. I left a note in the room, and I just wanted to come back and see what happened to Ama."

"You, why do you look like Hongpan?" The fourth elder brother also felt distressed, and while ordering someone to inform Fujin quickly, he led Mo Yaqi back to the East Courtyard.

Baosheng helped Mo Yaqi change his clothes, and Su Wei walked into the bedroom with the newly delivered snacks and calming soup from the kitchen.

"Grandpa Su," Mo Yaqi leaned on the couch, covered with a blanket, looking much more energetic.

"Big Gege, let's eat some snacks to pad his stomach, and the servant has stewed chicken soup in the kitchen." Su Wei delivered the Anshen soup to Mo Yaqi, "I must be tired from the journey, right? It's exhausting, and I'll use it in a while." After dinner, go to bed early in the evening."

"Grandpa Su, will Ama be angry with me? Baosheng and Fu'an were both forced out by me, Ama won't punish them, right?" Mo Yaqi was holding the soup bowl, and began to worry again stand up.

"Don't worry, Big Gege, there are slaves here, they won't be severely punished," Su Wei smiled at Mo Yaqi, but he couldn't reassure Mo Yaqi.

"Then I still have to be punished?" Mo Yaqi frowned, "I am self-willed, Ama wants to punish, just punish me alone."

"Big Gege," Su Wei said softly, "You are filial, but Baosheng and Fu'an are not thoughtful. You are young and you are a girl's family. If something happens along the way , Didn’t you kill Ama and Erniang? This slave knows that you love them both, but when you made this decision, didn’t you think of the consequences?”

"I--" Mo Yaqi was speechless for a moment.

Su Wei bent his lips and continued, "So, since you made this decision, you have to bear the consequences. The same goes for Baosheng and Fu'an. Since you decided to follow you, you have to bear the consequences."

"Eunuch Su is right, Gege, you don't have to worry about us, Fu'an and I are not afraid of being punished," Baosheng said from the side.

"I'm the one who got you all involved," Mo Yaqi held Baosheng's hand, "You didn't have to cooperate with me, but helping me means disobeying Fujin..."

"We are Gege's slaves, so of course Gege should be the main one." Baosheng glanced at Grandpa Su secretly, and said with a smile, "Besides, with Eunuch Su Zhuyu in front, the servants are more or less confident."

"Ah?" Su Wei looked up blankly.

"No one in the entire family knows," Baosheng suppressed his voice, deliberately teasing Mo Ya and said, "Eunuch Su has always only recognized the prince as his master, and for the sake of the prince, even the ladies in the palace dare to disobey. We, the younger generation Yes, it’s never wrong to learn from others.”

Mo Yaqi burst into laughter, and Su Wei could only smile foolishly.

"There's a lot of commotion everywhere, but I'm in a good mood," the fourth elder brother lifted the curtain and walked in. Baosheng and Mo Yaqi hurriedly suppressed their smiles, and Su Wei was left alone to wink at the fourth elder brother .

"Fujin sent people to chase you all the way early in the morning, and you just arrived at the gate of the mansion," Si elder brother sat next to Mo Yaqi, "I told them to report back, Fujin must be worried to death, you are too capricious this time. "

"Daughter knew she was wrong, and she will never dare again," Mo Yaqi lowered her head with guilt on her face.

Su Wei glared at the fourth elder brother again, and the fourth elder brother turned his head to look at Baosheng, "Mo Yaqi needs someone to take care of him now, and you and Fu'an's board will be remembered for now. If this kind of thing happens in the future, your heads will also be taken care of." No more!"

"Yes, I know my mistake," Bao Sheng knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.

"Okay, let's go out," the fourth elder brother waved his hand, and Baosheng led the two little girls out of the room.

Su Wei looked around, picked up the spoon and stuffed it into Mo Yaqi's hand, "Gege, drink the soothing soup first, it will be bitter after it cools down."

Mo Yaqi took the spoon and glanced at the fourth elder brother secretly. The fourth elder brother sighed softly, "Hurry up and drink it, and sleep well after drinking."

"Yes, thank you, Ama," Mo Yaqi curled his mouth, knowing that Ama was not angry with her, and he didn't want to pursue too much, he felt a lot more relaxed, and took the soothing soup and drank it slowly.

"I heard from the concierge that Li Wei sent you back?" the fourth elder brother asked.

"Yes," Mo Yaqi put down the soup bowl, "My daughter came out in a hurry and didn't bring a seal. Fortunately, I met Mr. Li at the gate of the city, and he sent me into the city."

"You're so hasty in doing things, yet you dare to sneak out," the fourth elder brother was about to wrinkle his brows when someone kicked his black satin golden boots under the couch, "Forget it, since we're back, let's rest in the mansion first." on."

Mo Yaqi nodded lightly. After thinking about it, she couldn't help asking, "Ama, what happened in the mansion? Is it really serious enough to send us outside the customs?"

"How do you know?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows slightly, "Fu Jin said it?"

"No," Mo Yaqi pursed his lips and lowered his head, "we overheard it accidentally..."

"It's Hongpan, right?" Zhizi Mo Ruofu, the fourth elder brother turned his head and glanced at Su Wei, and Grandpa Su had an innocent look on his face.

"We didn't do it on purpose..." Mo Yaqi smiled flatteringly, "We are really worried about Ama, Ilha and Hongpan haven't slept well for several days, neither Hongyun nor Hongshi Dare to tell. Ama, what happened? Can't we bear it together as a family?"

Mo Yaqi's words made the fourth elder brother stunned for a while, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to shake his head with some self-deprecating, "These things are for adults, you are still children, don't worry about it. Let you stay in Zhuangzi for a while. , it’s because Ama just in case, it might not be that serious. Since you’re all back, first—”

"master!"

There was a sound of messy footsteps outside the door, interrupting Si elder brother's words.

Fu Nai appeared at the door of the bedroom with a nervous expression, "Master, the imperial decree has arrived!"

In front of Yin'an Temple

"...The empress dowager's holy bow violated the peace, and I am concerned about it. I will send the fourth prince Yinzhen, the ninth prince Yinzhen, the tenth prince Yinyu, and the fourteenth prince Yinti to the Dongzhuang Palace to meet you. We will leave immediately without delay..."

"My son accepts the decree," the fourth elder brother bent down to salute, but the stone in his heart was still hanging in the air.

Sure enough, after Wei Zhu handed the imperial decree to the fourth elder brother, he lowered his voice and said, "There is still a secret decree here, the slave, and the Holy Majesty ordered that it be handed over to the lord, and the lord can open it by himself."

The fourth brother's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took it as usual.

Su Wei followed suit and got up to send Wei Zhu and his party out, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

There were quite a few people who escorted Wei Zhu back to Beijing to pass the decree. Su Wei couldn't find a chance to talk to Wei Zhu alone, so he could only put on a smirk and sent Wei Zhu outside the second gate, "Eunuch Wei has business on his side today. , our family will not stay any longer, Eunuch Wei, go slowly."

"Eunuch Su is being polite," Wei Zhu turned around and bowed his head in return.

Su Wei followed and leaned over, the two got close, Wei Zhu whispered in Su Wei's ear, "Don't worry..."

After seeing off the decree-delivering team, Su Wei ran back to Yin'an Hall impatiently.

The fourth elder brother sat alone on the steps in front of the hall, with the sealed decree spread out in both hands.

Su Wei leaned over to look, and found that there was no Fengtian Chengyun, no emperor's edict on the yellow scroll, only four simple characters, "Under the law is not an example".

In the evening, Jiuye Mansion

"Ninth Brother!"

The tenth elder brother threw off the servant who had notified him, and rushed into the ninth elder brother's study in a hurry, "What's going on? After all this time, Huang Ama sent an order to return to the capital, but in the end, we just asked us to follow the fourth elder brother to pick him up." Drive? Then the preparations we have made these days are all in vain?"

"Calm down," Brother Nine glared at Brother Ten who was sweating away, "The matter is not in the end, none of us can be sure. Maybe Huang Ama didn't want to make too much noise in the capital, so she did it. They want to transfer us all to Dongzhuang."

"Then, shall we bring all the evidence we have prepared?"

The tenth elder brother took a step forward, and the ninth elder brother picked up the fan and slapped it on the head, "Can you use your brain more? Huang Ama didn't say anything, we don't know anything! You also brought all the evidence , are you afraid that Huang Ama won't guess that we intend to frame him?"

"He wasn't clean at first..." Elder Brother Shi rubbed his head, still a little unwilling, but he had nowhere to refute, "Mynah is still in Tangquan, should I write a letter to inform him to go to Dongzhuang too? What if If there is anything, we can still discuss it together.”

"No need," Brother Nine turned around, looked through the window at the darkening sky outside, his brows gradually wrinkled, "It's still the same sentence, it's not the end, everything should be careful."

Into the night, East Courtyard

Zhang Luohao was going out of Beijing tomorrow morning, Eunuch Su heaved a sigh of relief, climbed onto the bed and lay down on the pillow, "Look, I'll tell you that nothing will happen."

The fourth elder brother put down the book in his hand, lay down along with him, and pulled the quilt over Su Wei's body, "I'm going to go with Lao Jiu and Lao Shi tomorrow, and there must be a lot of people asking for news."

"Don't worry," Su Wei turned around slowly and patted his chest, "With me here, no one can come up with a half-truth."

The fourth elder brother smiled softly, raised his hand and pinched Su Wei's face, "Mo Yaqi is also ready? Actually, she is a girl, so it is safe to stay in the house."

"Safe, what safe?" Su Wei turned his head and glared at the fourth elder brother, "Because Da Gege was worried about you, what a risk he took along the way. She only came back for a day, and she left her in the mansion by herself. Say? Besides, there are not many opportunities for the girl to go out, and now that Ama is with her, she should look around. What's more, Dongzhuang is not far away, and she can't go anywhere if she's tired. "

"Okay, okay, it's not that I didn't agree," the fourth elder brother interrupted a certain father-in-law's nagging, patted him through the quilt, and said, "Mo Yaqi is rare to be responsible and courageous. She also She is the eldest daughter of the master, and her husband-in-law will definitely be more careful in the future."

"Gege is still young, so don't worry about getting married," Su Wei held the side of the quilt, inexplicably remembering the face that owed him 800 taels.

next morning

Because he wanted to rush to Dongzhuang as soon as possible, Su Wei also got up very early, and the carriages and horses in the mansion were all ready.Su Wei was checking back and forth around the team, Xiao Erge quietly followed.

"Is there something wrong?" Su Wei turned his head and asked him, "By the way, have the people sent to Tangquan come back? Have they been sent out?"

"This," Xiao Erge pursed his lips, dawdled for a long time, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Su Wei, "This is Miss Xiuxiang, the person who entrusted her to bring it to you."
