But just looking at the statue, when Xiao Hezi lit up the lantern again and walked to the front, there was no one around. The prince should have returned to Yuqing Palace by this time, so Yinzhen didn't think much, thinking about Yu who was at home.
Xi, as usual, rushed out of the palace with Xiao Hezi.
In the fourth elder brother's house, now that Fujin is pregnant, everyone is circling the main courtyard. However, Qinglian feels that there are too many people, so she still only uses people from the main courtyard. Li Fujin and Song Gege are sent if they have
He only accepts the food in person, then throws it away or rewards his subordinates. Fujin has a dedicated person who is responsible for meticulous and rigorous food. In short, nothing is more important than Fujin's pregnancy at the moment.
At this moment, Yinzhen came back in a hurry. He came to see Yuxi before changing his clothes, but his wife disliked him: "Hurry and change, I smell uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol." Then he ran to wash and change clothes, and came back refreshed.
At that time, Yuxi had ordered someone to bring him hangover soup, and he drank it in a few mouthfuls. He just wanted to sit down and talk to Yuxi.
"You are so drunk tonight, you must have drank a lot." Yu Xi smiled and just said a simple sentence. Happiness seemed to overflow from his eyes, and he pretended to be serious and said, "Huang Ama is not a drinker.
You should also learn something. Although alcohol is a good thing, too much will harm your health."
Now Yinzhen has no choice but to agree to his wife's wishes, and he smiles innocently: "I listen to you."
Yuxi laughed at him: "Aren't you tired of seeing me like this these days? Don't let Huang Ama and E Niang see you being so stupid."
But Yinzhen asked himself: "Why do you lie down all day? Didn't the imperial doctor say that the fetus is fine?"
Yu Xi pushed him gently: "You won't understand even if I tell you, I will take care of you, don't worry about it." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and there was something crystal clear in his eyes, and he smiled happily and said, "
In fact, I am still reeling in my heart and can't believe that I already have our child in my body. The imperial doctor said that my belly will be obviously bigger in a while. In the past, I was filled with envy when I saw other people pregnant with Liujia, but now I feel uneasy.
No. Yinzhen, I can give birth to the child, right?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." Yinzhen gently held his wife's hand and said, "Eniang tells you, if you don't want to enter the palace to socialize, you don't need to enter the palace after the fetus is stable, Eniang will take care of you.
.Furthermore, no one can take care of you more considerately than your own mother. My mother-in-law asked me to bring my mother-in-law to take care of you. Do you think this is okay?"
Yu Xi shook his head: "Let's take it again in February or March next year. Now that there is such a big fight for me in the house, I am already very uneasy. Compared with the gloomy situation in the house when my sisters are pregnant and giving birth to children, I feel even more like that back then.
I have treated them badly. I know that you and E Niang intend to elevate my status, but E Niang is in the palace and you are busy in the court on weekdays. I am the one who gets along with them. I understand the importance of this best. Listen.
Is mine good?”
Yinzhen just smiled: "I will listen to you, I will listen to you in everything."
Yuxi was extremely happy, but in her happy smile, a look of uneasiness quickly flashed across her face. Her husband could see it all, and Yinzhen couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"I was thinking..." Yu Xi looked at her husband deeply, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "You can go to Xiyuan these days. I have agreed with my sister, now you
If I leave her behind, she will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"But I don't want to go."
"We had a drink tonight and are you in the mood? If you treat her better, we will get along better. No matter what it is for, just think it is to make me happy." The tip of Yuxi's nose also turned red. How could she be willing to push her husband to the side?
Other women, but now that she is pregnant with a child, she knows even more about the dignity of an heir. Li Zefujin is a legitimate wife and concubine. Yinzhen should treat her well, and if she can contribute more to the fourth brother's house, she will
Better.
Seeing her husband's stern face, Yu Xi gently pushed his chest: "Go, you promised me a long time ago."
Although Yinzhen felt that he agreed at the time just to appease Yuxi's sorrow of not having a child. Although he didn't hate Mrs. Li, he couldn't really say he liked her, but things between men and women were easier than he thought, and there would be no feelings between the bed and the bed.
There was a big problem, otherwise where did Nian Tong come from? Because of Nian Tong, he realized that no matter how considerate he said to Yu Xi, it was useless. He had concubines and could be happy with them without saying a word.
Liking doesn't mean anything.
"Go and be happy." Yu Xi smiled softly, turned his face and closed his eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep, don't wake me up."
Yinzhen had no choice but to leave the main courtyard and go to Xiyuan where Li Fujin lived. By that time, Fujin had already gone to bed. When the fourth elder brother came suddenly, she didn't even have time to dress, so she went to see her husband in her pajamas. And since
When he came, Yinzhen would not put on an ugly face. The two of them talked, and when the night got late, they did whatever they needed to do.
The next morning, Li Zefujin woke up earlier than his fourth brother. He told Qiaozhu to prepare clothes and tea early. When the time came, he would wake up her husband and dress and wash him with his own hands. While he was waiting for tea, Xiao Hezi asked to see him outside the door, and he called him to come in.
He was talking, but he saw Xiao Hezi saying nervously: "Brother Si, something happened in the palace. Please go into the palace quickly. It's not early for the court today."
"What's up?"
"Brother Eleven is dead."
"Dead?" Yinzhen was shocked, eyes wide open, looking at Xiao Hezi in disbelief, "When did it happen? Why did he die? He was still talking to me last night."
Xiaohezi said: "I haven't inquired about the specific matter yet. You know, important matters in the palace will not be leaked out casually. I only know that Brother Eleven just died, but it seems that he died last night."
What's up."
Yinzhen no longer delayed, left the house in a hurry, and went straight to the palace. There was already a sad atmosphere in the inner palace. Yinzhen knew that Eniang was in Ningshou Palace, so he came straight to greet her. The Queen Mother was so sad that everyone
She was advised to stay in bed and rest. When Yinzhen arrived, the Queen Mother had already rested and Lan Qi was about to leave Ningshou Palace.
"Your Imperial Grandmother has rested. Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan are with her. Please come back another day to say hello." Lan Qi did not let her son in, but Yinzhen followed her and asked, "Brother Eleven was fine, why did he die suddenly?
"
Lan Qi frowned. At this moment, she had a personal experience of Concubine Yi's pain. Naturally, she thought of poor Yinzuo in her heart. But when her son asked her, she had to answer. When she and Yinzhen were walking to Yonghe Palace, they talked about what happened last night.
I only know that after the banquet yesterday, Brother Eleven went somewhere to play. When the people found him, he was already floating in the Jinshui River. He was still breathing when he was fished out. He was saved all night. In the early morning
After all, she could not recover. Now the emperor is comforting Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace, and others are not allowed to go to express condolences for the time being.
"Xiaohezi said that the news hasn't spread outside yet. We only know that Brother Eleven is dead." Yinzhen frowned tightly, saying these words, and suddenly thought of the figure he saw when he left the palace last night. For some reason, he felt more and more worried now.
Lai Yue felt that he had met the prince. Firstly, the figures and steps were very similar. Secondly, he had a strange thought that he himself was curious about. Why did he unconsciously think of the prince?
At this time, his mother said to him: "I had something to tell you last night, but have you ever thought about what was strange at last night's banquet?"
Yinzhen shook his head. He went back last night and rested in Xiyuan. There was no need to mention that to his mother. He heard E Niang sigh softly and say: "Yesterday you brothers talked about the crusade against Galdan.
, it was so lively and exciting that the Queen Mother and I were very excited to hear it. However, under such circumstances, I saw the prince sitting alone and deserted. He couldn't even get in the middle of a sentence you brothers said to each other.
The expression on his face gradually became cold."
"My son didn't pay attention." Yinzhen asked in surprise, "Have you seen it?"
Lan Qi nodded: "I don't want to blame you, I just want to remind you that in future occasions like this, although you don't have to deliberately cater to the prince, you must also pay attention to etiquette. You can still say that you are young and energetic, but you will gradually grow older in the future.
, if it still looks like this, it should be laughed at."
Yinzhen indeed only remembered the excitement last night, but not what the second elder brother was like. Eniang said that the prince was unhappy, and he didn't pay attention at all. Looking back now, his mind went blank, but what suddenly appeared in front of his eyes was last night.
That figure on the palace road.
Not long after, the eunuchs under Eunuch Liang came to invite Concubine De to Yikun Palace. It was not convenient for Yinzhen to follow, so he had to leave the palace. When he came out, Yinzhen asked Xiao Hezi which way they took last night. Xiao Hezi led Si'a
When I got there, I pointed ahead at the fork and said, "Master, I heard that Brother Eleven drowned where this road goes past and connects to the Neijinshui River."
Yinzhen frowned and looked around. Suddenly he saw a bunch of tapes lying on the roadside. Gold, silver and red threads were mixed together, as if they were hanging on jade. He walked over and picked them up. Although the things were small, they were very meticulously made.
, Xiao Hezi asked what he was doing, and Yinzhen just held it in his hand and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
On this side, Lan Qi arrived at Yikun Palace. There was dead silence in the palace. Princess Wen Ke was standing in the corridor with the wet nurse. When she saw Empress De Fei coming, she ran over immediately. Lan Qi asked the wet nurse to take good care of the princess and coaxed her a few times.
He asked the wet nurse to take her to Yonghe Palace to stay with Sister Wen Chen.
When she entered Concubine Yi's bedroom, she saw Xuan Ye sitting coldly aside. On the bed, Concubine Yi was paralyzed in Taohong's arms. She was neither crying nor fussing, and her expression was dull. In a trance, Lan Qi seemed to have seen the girl from back then.
Own.
"You will be in charge of Brother Eleven's funeral. I'm afraid Concubine Yi won't be able to handle it if she's not in good spirits." Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi and asked her to excuse herself, then said, "It's said that he died of illness, and the court is just now
After winning the battle, it was suddenly reported that the prince had died unexpectedly, which was not conducive to the stability of the imperial court."
Lan Qi listened silently. It was almost the same thing. When Yin Zuo died, Xuan Ye did not allow outsiders to tell the real cause of death. She had endured it back then. Now that the same tragedy happened to Yi Fei, she would not say anything.
Words of "justice".
However, Concubine Yi had a fierce temper, and the dull person suddenly came to his senses when he heard this sentence. He almost jumped off the couch and threw himself on Xuan Ye's lap, crying and shouting: "The emperor wants to give Yinyu a
Fair enough, Your Majesty, our Yinxun died miserably..."
