Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

The fifth day of May, Beijing

In the middle of the night, after the curfew time, several people in black cloaks quietly appeared at the back door of a mansion.

The door knocker rang three times, and someone in the courtyard opened the door, "Your Excellency is finally here, please come in quickly."

There are no lanterns hanging in the courtyard, only candles are lit in the main hall.

Someone came in and took off his hood.

Everyone sitting in the hall stood up, and the leader was the ninth brother Yunyu.

"My lord admiral is willing to come here at night, and I feel very grateful to you."

"Master Jiu is being polite." It was the infantry commander Long Kedo who took off his hood. "Master Jiu invites you so frequently, it's not good for me to refuse repeatedly."

Yunyu smiled and invited Longkodo to sit down.

"Since my uncle is willing to come over today, Yunyu will not go around around the corner."

Longkodo is the brother of Empress Xiaoyi, and Yunyu is called uncle, which is also a cousin.

"These are the commanders of the next five phases of the guards. I believe that my uncle is familiar with them in the army."

Yunyu pointed to the other adults in the room and said.

Longkodo nodded to the rest.

"Uncle also knows that after the new emperor ascends the throne, the life of the courtiers and relatives will become more and more difficult. Now that the three-year period has been established, even the local officials will empty their families. Right now, the new emperor is still cultivating cronies, Expand your power, if one day, let him gain a firm foothold, then we will all be fish on the chopping board."

Long Ke Duo smiled, and picked up the teacup presented by the servant, "What is Jiuye talking about? Long live Lord has always loved Weichen very much."

Yunyu's eyebrows moved slightly, but there was no change on his face, "That's natural. Uncle is highly respected. No matter how arbitrary the new emperor is, he will rely on you. But what about your servants? Your relatives Woolen cloth?"

"If my nephew remembers correctly, some members of my aunt's family have been imprisoned for corruption and bribery, right? My aunt has often quarreled with you because of these things."

Longkodo frowned slightly, Yunyu smiled and continued:

"The first emperor loved you very much, but he didn't show any kindness to your relatives and disciples."

The little aunt that Yunyu talked about was not Longkodo's first wife.Longkodo's first wife passed away for many years, and it is said that the cause of death is not humane.As for Longkodo himself, he has always doted on that concubine, Li Si'er, who was forcibly taken from his father-in-law's mansion.

Although Li Si'er is only a concubine, he is notoriously arrogant and domineering. Because of Longkodo's favor, he once went in and out of the forbidden door with his wife, and even confronted horses in front of the cart and scolded people to avoid the way in the street. fear.

This time, Yunyu suddenly mentioned Li Si'er, obviously coming prepared.

Longkodo took a sip of tea slowly, but he had already weighed it in his heart.

"Don't worry, Uncle," Yunyu said again, "Naturally, I dare not bother Uncle with the matter of being the vanguard. We just ask Uncle to turn a blind eye and close one eye at the critical moment, so as to waste a quarter of an hour. At that time, regardless of success or failure, no one will be able to say anything about uncle."

Yunyu's voice fell, and the room fell into silence.

Longko scraped the tea foam in the bowl once and twice, keeping his head down.When others look at me and I look at you, they don't dare to say anything.

Yunyu could sit still, he couldn't help but recall what the starling said to him when he was in Prince Lian's mansion:

"Longkodo has made great contributions to the dragon, and if we want him to fall to us, it is bound to harm both sides and benefit both sides."

Coming out of this remote house, Longkodo and his party took advantage of the night to get into the carriage.

Looking at Longkodo's face, Aida asked with some uncertainty, "Does the master really want to promise them?"

Long Duoke didn't answer, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said suddenly, "Go to the house in Qiongli Lane."

Aida was stunned for a moment, but immediately responded, "Yes."

Longkodo has more than one mansion in the capital, and the mansion in Qiongli Lane is where the concubine Li Si'er lives.

When the carriage arrived at the back door of the house, the servant knocked on the door, and Long Kedo went straight in.

In the main room, the candles were still on, and Li Si'er was sitting at the round table, holding a box of round pearls, drooling with joy.

"Good job you did!"

Nanzhu was overturned violently, Li Si'er was startled for a moment, turned around and saw that it was Longkodo.

"Why are you back today, my lord?"

Long Kedo was very angry, but Li Si'er was not afraid at all.

"It's just some jewelry. Prince Lian sent someone to send it. Why should you be angry?"

"Who told you to collect people's things casually? Can anyone's things be collected?!"

"What can't you accept?" Li Si'er leaned softly on the table, "Aren't you going to meet people tonight, my lord? What's the big deal about this stuff?"

"Bastard!" Long Kedo kicked over a chair and slapped Li Si'er.

Li Si'er raised his face and motioned for him to hit him, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Could it be possible that my lord didn't think about that? I don't believe it."

"well……"

Longkodo didn't continue the fight, and pointed his finger at Li Si'er and said, "What benefits did they give you? Let's hear it."

"Nature is a great benefit, and it is a great benefit to the Lord."

Li Si'er stood up with a smile, and dragged Long Kedo to sit on the couch, "It is said that Tong Jia's family was so beautiful when the first emperor, but now there is only one, barely holding on. My sister, that is a queen, A noble concubine. Could it be that after a while, our daughter can only marry those dudes in Beijing?"

"Ye'er is only four years old!" Long Kedo raised his head and stared at Li Si'er.

"So what? If this happens, use Prince Lian's prestige in the clan, choose a younger heir from the previous emperor's heirs, so that he can be controlled. Make a marriage first, and when Ye'er grows up, Naturally, you can marry into the palace as a matter of course."

"You fart!" Long Kedo scolded angrily, "Do you think establishing an emperor is as simple as drawing eyebrows and choosing hairpins?"

Li Si'er raised her eyebrows, and said without hesitation, "It's not easy for Jane to worry about Prince Lian and the others, but I don't take any risks! Besides, if this thing happens, with my authority today, I want to What can you do? Don’t you always think about that person in the palace? That person can now guard the side hall room empty, watching the clouds and flowers fall every day. With the current emperor’s temper, you want to control him. Man, is it possible?"

Longkodo was choked, and couldn't swear for a while.

Li Si'er picked up a pearl from the ground and looked at it with a smile, "Speaking of which, it is also the emperor who investigates this corruption today and the deficit tomorrow, offending everyone. Left, committing chaos If the child is done by others, I will treat it as a favor, and it will not hurt us whether it succeeds or not."

"Besides," Li Si'er sat down on Long Kedo, touched the short beard on his chin, "these days, you have been receiving pleadings and grievances from those subordinates every day, and it's annoying, isn't it? If we don't pay attention to this, if our house is found out one day, wouldn't we be in bad luck too?"

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and the dark tide was surging outside the palace, but inside the palace was eerie silence.

In the small courtyard behind the Compassionate Ning Palace, a small door will only be opened every time one arrives.

Xiaoyingzihou was at the door, and the people in the house had taken tranquilizing medicine early and slept soundly.

Unbuttoning the cloak on his body, Lord Yongzheng carefully sat on the edge of the bed, first looked at Su Wei's injuries, and then covered him with a quilt.

Then, that night, he leaned against the head of the bed, and it would be over.

At dawn, the people from the Hall of Mental Cultivation came to call for someone, and Lord Yongzheng put on his cloak again, and left without a sound.

Xiaoyingzi was worried at first, his master was always smart, if he would ask him anything when he woke up during the day.

As a result, he was in vain for two days.

When Su Wei wakes up every day, he only asks what he has for lunch and dinner, and spends the rest of the time staring out the window in a daze.

On the tenth day of May, Yanxi Palace

Early in the morning, Xu'er came back from the outside, sent away the other servants, and dressed Shiyue alone.

"The servant has asked Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Su's injury is almost healed, so it can be seen that the imperial physician has put his heart into it."

"Then, has the emperor been there?" Shi Yue hesitated and asked.

Xu'er lowered her body and whispered in Shiyue's ear, "Eunuch Li said that Lord Long Live goes every night and stays until dawn. However, Eunuch Su has been sleeping deeply or pretending not to know." .Anyway, I haven’t mentioned Long Live God. On weekdays, I just sit on the bed in a daze, and I don’t even want to say a few words.”

"Alas..." Shiyue lowered her head and sighed softly.

"Go and tell Xiaoyingzi, I want to see Eunuch Su, and let him help arrange the arrangement, the sooner the better."

"My lord," Xu'er looked a little embarrassed, "Long Live Lord still cares about Eunuch Su. Although the two of them are having an awkward fight right now, it might be okay after a while. Let's still..."

"What do you think I'm going to say?"

Shiyue interrupted Xu'er, then smiled helplessly, "Go ahead, I know what I'm going to do."

The courtyard behind the Palace of Compassion

Qi Xi'er carried the food box into Su Wei's room, "Master, it's time for dinner. I made shredded chicken porridge today, and the imperial doctor said that you can eat some meat."

"Put it there, let it cool down before eating," Su Wei lay on the piled quilt, looking at the swallow's nest under the eaves outside the window.

"It's already cold, let it sit for a while and it should be fishy," Qi Xi'er walked to the bed, a little at a loss, he didn't dare to drag someone out of bed to eat like Li Ying did.

Su Wei lay on the ground for a while, only to feel that there was a person standing behind him in a daze, staring at him with aggrieved eyes that made his neck numb.

"Master, it's getting cold..."

"Okay, okay, I'll get up and eat!"

This kind of special grinding tactics can be regarded as Qi Xier's ability, after all, with such a face, if you ignore him, there will always be an illusion that it will arouse the anger of both humans and gods.

"Master, I will help you."

Su Wei struggled to get up, and was supported by Qi Xi'er to walk towards the table, but he still didn't look energetic.

"Master, are you angry with Lord Long Live?"

Su Wei was taken aback, then turned to look at Qi Xi'er, he didn't expect Qi Xi'er to dare to ask such a question.

Qi Xi'er lowered her head slightly, her expression was very innocent.

"Maybe," Su Wei didn't know how to answer, "I don't know if I'm angry with others or with myself."

"Long Live Lord loves Master so much, whatever Master wants, Long Live Lord will give."

The words were so naive that Su Wei laughed when he heard them, "But I don't want anything. Maybe I thought about it before, but it seems like it happened in my previous life."

What Su Wei said was ambiguous, and he didn't know if Qi Xi'er could understand it.

He sat down on the thick cushion and began to eat, while Qi Xi'er stood aside, watching him the whole time.

Into the night

Su Wei was still asleep when the door to the outer courtyard opened.Shiyue was dressed as a court lady, and was led by Xiaoyingzi into the house.

"Why are you here?" Su Wei was a little surprised, and looked out again.

"Don't worry, I'm very careful, no one will follow," Shiyue smiled at him, then lowered her head to fiddle with the hem of her clothes.

"I used to wear this dress, when I was in the third school, do you remember?"

"Remember," Su Wei also smiled, "I still remember that you used to wear light blue clothes back then, and you looked more plain than this one."

"That's right, it was at Elder Brother's house at that time, so it was different from the one in the palace." Shiyue sat on the round stool brought by Xiaoyingzi.

"Before I heard that you were beaten, I was really worried. Fortunately, Xiao Yingzi kept telling me about your recent situation, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait so many days."

"Hey, a little flesh injury, it's nothing serious," Su Wei rubbed his head, looking like an old god.

Shiyue pursed her lips, lowered her head in thought for a moment, and said, "Have you never met Lord Long Live these days?"

Su Wei's face froze, his eyes fell on the quilt under him, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Is it that he doesn't want to see you, or you don't want to see him?"

Su Wei still didn't answer.

Shiyue suddenly smiled, although there was always a trace of bitterness hidden in the smile, "Speaking of which, I should probably advise you to leave the palace, as far as you can."

"But, I also know," Shiyue looked at Su Wei carefully, "Life is always lived by oneself, ups and downs, and only you know it best. 30 years of love, no matter how many people look forward to it... "

Su Wei pinched his own quilt, stretched like a statue that was about to break.

"The Su Peisheng I know is not a person who bites his teeth and swallows blood." Shiyue leaned forward, facing Su Wei face to face.

"Even if you really want to leave, you still have to ask yourself for so many years, right?"

midnight

The door of the small courtyard opened again, and the person wearing a cloak entered the room as usual, but it was not the sleeping person.

Su Wei was sitting on a thick blanket, looking at the person standing at the door.

Zhang Qilin who followed outside the door clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha several times, and quickly closed the door behind them.

There are no lights in the house, only some moonlight reflected from the window.

Although it was darker, Yinzhen could still see Su Wei's face clearly, but he didn't know if Su Wei could see his clearly.

"You, why didn't you sleep?"

"Don't dare to sleep," the voice of the person on the bed was very clear, "Long Live Lord guards my bed every night like this, I want to sleep like this again, when you fall ill, I won't be a sinner forever?"

Yinzhen lowered his head, his lips trembling slightly, "You, if you don't want to..."

"I don't want to! There are many things I don't want to do!"

Su Wei climbed off the bed with both hands, "But I can't help it! In the past it was for living, and later it was for you!"

Yinzhen raised his head, and Su Wei was right in front of him, staring straight at him.

"But recently, I always wonder if I'm wrong? I thought that living for you is the same as living for myself. Because I don't want anything, I just want you. "

Yinzhen's eyes widened slightly, but Su Wei's eyes were red.

"But I overestimated myself, I'm not that great. I really hate you now, I hate everything about you! I hate your women, I hate this palace!"

Yinzhen seemed to be nailed in place, he wanted to raise his arms to hug the person in front of him, but he couldn't raise his arms.

"Whether you are willing to doubt the fourteenth elder brother, or if you are willing to dote on Nian Gengyao and Concubine Nian, it's up to you! I don't care anymore!"

Su Wei stretched his neck and yelled out these words, but tears flowed out like beads falling off a string.

"Yinzhen, you don't love me at all...you're just used to it..."

These words struck Yinzhen's head like thunder from the sky, making him feel pain from head to toe!

In the small courtyard, Xiaoyingzi and Zhang Qilin were leaning on the pillars, praying silently in their hearts, it has been so many days, let this matter pass quickly.

"The moon is not bad tonight," Zhang Qilin looked up at the night sky, "Although it's not round, you can still see the shadow..."

"boom!"

The door of the main room was pushed open suddenly, Xiaoyingzi and Zhang Qilin jumped up instantly.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

There were two chattering people at the door. Eunuch Su, who was only wearing a middle coat, was wrapped in a black cloak and carried the whole thing on his shoulders.

"Let go of me, let go!"

"Yinzhen, you bastard—"

Master Yongzheng carried the person on his shoulders and strode out.

Zhang Qilin and Xiaoyingzi were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

"Quick! Dismiss the guards!"

Yinzhen walked quickly, but his hands were steady.

Su Wei struggled all the way, but his butt hurt too much and he couldn't use his strength.

Zhang Qilin responded back and forth, and finally figured out where Lord Yongzheng was going first, and quickly let Xiaoyingzi run over to send away those who had nothing to do with him.

Just like that, the two stumbled and waited until they reached the steps of the palace gate before Yinzhen let him down.

Su Wei messed around in the cloak, and finally showed his head. After looking left and right for a long time, he realized where it was.

"Why did you bring me to Kunning Palace?"

"Come in with me!"

Yinzhen grabbed Su Wei's hand and pulled towards the door.

"I'm not going in!"

Red candles were lit in the Kunning Palace, and divine tablets were offered, but the room was always dark.

Su Wei retreated subconsciously, "I won't go in, what do you want?"

"Come in with me!"

Yinzhen's eyes were very red, and he tightened his grip on Su Wei's wrist, "Don't force me to carry you in again."

Su Wei's eyes widened, seeing that the two of them were about to step into the threshold, and in front of the main hall were the tablets of the late emperor and empress.

"I won't go in!"

Su Wei suddenly squatted down and grabbed the door frame tightly, "Why do you insist on letting in? I won't go!"

Yinzhen tugged twice but did not move, turned around, staring at Su Wei with red eyes.

"Didn't you say I don't love you? I'll prove it to you."

Su Wei squatted on the ground stubbornly, and Yinzhen squatted down too.

"Do you know what Kunning Palace is for?"

"...It's a place for monthly sacrifices," Su Wei's voice was a little dry.

"anything else?"

"It's the place where the tablets of former queens are enshrined..."

"anything else?"

"..." Su Wei's lips moved a few times, but he didn't speak out.

"It's still the place where the emperor gets married every dynasty," Yinzhen said for Su Wei.

"Su Wei, this is what I want to give you. I know you don't want anything, but I want to give it."

Su Wei swallowed, his head still in a daze.

The arm was grabbed, and Yinzhen's face was close at hand, "Let's pay homage, it's right here."
