Extremely shocked, Concubine Yi became even more irrational. She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and asked, "Didn't the prince do it? Didn't the prince throw Yinhuang down?"
Unexpectedly, the ninth elder brother immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, mother. Why did the prince do this? The prince and we have a deep love for each other. How can there be hatred for murder?"
Xuan Ye's face was full of coldness and he said quietly: "You also heard what Yin Huang said. It was he who watched Yin Huang crawl under the bridge hole, but he ran away. Come and tell me why Yin Huang climbed up again and then called someone.
Throw it down?"
Concubine Yi was speechless, and Xuan Ye continued: "They are such big children, and they are still playing hide and seek in the palace like children. If you insist on me telling the world the real cause of Brother Eleven's death, are you ready?"
Do you want me to be laughed at, or do you want to be ridiculed yourself? Don’t I feel heartbroken when my son dies? But what will be the consequences if you continue to make trouble? Do you want Yinzhen to pay for it with his life? "
Concubine Yi's head was shaking like a rattle, tears were pouring down, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Xuan Ye asked Yinzhen to get up and said to him seriously: "The matter has come to this, I can't let you pay for Yinzhen's life."
, From now on, you must honor your mother-in-law together with your younger brother's responsibilities, and never do anything ridiculous again. You are all my sons, and I will feel sorry for any one of you who is hurt. You are not young anymore. In two years
It’s time to leave the palace and build a mansion. If you continue to be ridiculous, how can your mother be reassured and how can I be reassured? You follow the eighth prince, why don’t you learn more from his maturity and stability, and don’t let me see you being frivolous in the future.
An irritable look."
Yinzhen still had a face that looked like a wood carving. He lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice. Xuan Ye explained clearly and was about to leave. Then he stood up and heard Concubine Yi crying: "Your Majesty, don't blame me."
Xuan Ye thought of Lan Qi's words, and his heart softened. He came over and held her shoulders and said, "You better cheer up. There is Yinqi and Yinzhu who want you to take care of, and Wen Ke is young. I blame you for what you did, and you lost it."
If you have a son, who should you choose if you don't ask me to make the decision? But I can't blindly favor you selfishly, I have to face the entire country and the court, but you don't understand these principles."
When Concubine Yi saw the emperor talking to her so gently, she no longer had any thoughts of making trouble. When her son died, she cried all her tears. If she said it was bitter in her heart, it was more of unwillingness. She even thought in her heart, De
The concubine's son died that year. The emperor treated her with kindness and care, and even took her alone to Yingtai to relax, but he was treated coldly. Why? Now that I heard these words, I felt even sadder and shed tears.
Unable to stop himself, he covered his face and nodded, saying: "I have written it down, Your Majesty, please don't blame me."
Xuan Ye comforted him a few more words, and when he left, he took Yinzhen out with him and told him: "Study for a few more years and let me see how you have improved."
The father and son broke up in front of Yikun Palace. The emperor had to go to Ningshou Palace. He should give an explanation to the Queen Mother for these days. The Emperor respected the Queen Mother, firstly for filial piety, and secondly for the sake of the prince's family members.
Everyone in the world can see it, so everything is done in every detail. Even if the Queen Mother is a person who has no idea, she will not just do it perfunctorily, and here Lan Qi is his most powerful arm.
When the Holy Emperor came to Ningshou Palace, he happened to meet the Fourth Elder Brother coming from the Yonghe Palace. His son stood by the palace road waiting for the Holy Emperor to pass by. Eunuch Liang had come over early to inform the emperor, saying that the Fourth Elder Brother was in front, and Xuan Ye asked the royal chariot to go in front.
After a pause, the fourth elder brother came to salute his father. Xuan Ye asked him: "From your mother's side?"
Yinzhen said yes. The father and son were silent for a moment, and then the emperor ordered: "Be more careful in the future." Hearing this, he suddenly raised his head to look at his father, but was stared at by his father with a frown. Yinzhen felt panic in his heart, but his father was worried.
Said: "You have a kind heart, just like your mother, but your mother is not stupid, and you can't be stupid either. Learn to be smarter in the future. Not everyone can be treated with kindness by others."
"Yes." Yinzhen agreed. In fact, he hadn't figured out what his father meant, but the royal chariot passed by in a hurry, and then he walked back with his head sullen. After a long time, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm. Xiao Hezi said behind him, "Si ah
Brother, if you go further, you will go to Yuqing Palace. We will not take this way when leaving the palace."
Yinzhen suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the corner of the eaves of Yuqing Palace that was vaguely visible in front of him. His heart sank and he turned around in the direction he should go. But he understood what Emperor Amma had just said.
Two days later, it was the day that was originally scheduled for the prince to give lectures. Now that the princes have grown up, even the fourteenth elder brother can make a fuss. Naturally, all the princes gathered together. Although the prince did many ridiculous things, his knowledge was not as good as the others.
Poor, often the emperor could find some comfort from him at this time. After a long time, he was very happy with the lectures and questions. The emperor was a studious person, and he was happy to see his son working hard. After leaving the Wenhua Palace, the emperor took the prince
I went to Qianqing Palace with my eldest brother to discuss matters. The brothers below had their own places to go. The tenth elder brother came to find the ninth elder brother and went to Ningshou Palace to have snacks together. The ninth elder brother said with disgust: "How old are you? You only know
Do you want to eat?”
The tenth elder brother pursed his lips and didn't know what to do. The eighth elder brother persuaded him: "You want to make him happy for Yinyu, but right now your ninth brother hasn't dealt with the sadness in his heart. It's better to ask him to be quiet these days.
"
"Then I'll go back first." Brother Ten was honest, and he patted Brother Ninth on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ninth, don't be sad, it will be better after a while. Really, I felt extremely uncomfortable when my mother was gone.
Yes, but it will be like that after a while. Anyway, if you have anything to do, come to Ningshou Palace to see me, I can enjoy the imperial grandmother's place."
The ninth elder brother didn't say anything, but the eighth elder brother told him to go back after a few words. He and Yinzhen walked slowly to the inner palace. He also stopped by to pay his respects to Concubine Hui. On the way, Yinzhen sneered and said: "Tenth brother is so simple.
, the imperial grandmother told him that Yin Huang died of illness, so he believed it. There were obviously so many rumors in the palace, and my mother-in-law had been making trouble for so long, how could he believe it? "
Brother Ba smiled: "It's simpler, there's nothing wrong with it."
Brother Jiu asked him: "Does Huang Ama really not hate me? I didn't take Yinxuan well. It would have been better if I had called him up and walked together."
"It was an accident."
"But I..." Brother Jiu wanted to say it again, but finally stopped and said instead, "If I said that the prince was there, would Huang Ama really believe it? If he went to ask the prince, why would the prince deny it?
No, I didn’t see him after all.”
The eighth prince smiled calmly: "But I saw it. This matter was not clear to begin with, so you don't have to be afraid. Today's lecture was very peaceful. Huang Ama was very happy to see it. It's over now."
It turned out that that night, when the ninth elder brother took his younger brother there and asked him to hide under the bridge, he did see someone coming. He thought it was the tenth elder brother who was chasing him, so he ran away first, but he did not do what his father said.
He went back to look for his younger brother like that. Instead, after wandering around in the palace for a long time, he ran back to Yikun Palace. At that time, Concubine Yi lost her temper. He didn't dare to say that his younger brother was playing with him, so he pretended not to know.
When he turned back and saw the prince's words, Bago taught him.
Ba Ge said that by saying this, Huang Ama would disperse his anger. Among all the brothers, Huang Ama’s favorite was the prince. If the prince did anything wrong, he would be forgiven in front of Huang Ama.
As for how to fabricate the story of the prince, in addition to the fourth prince meeting the prince on the road that night, the eighth prince also saw the panicked prince in another place. The fourth prince was just a shadow of the prince, while he was in the palace.
Under the lantern illuminated by Dao, the prince's appearance could be seen clearly.
At that time, the Eighth Prince didn't think much about it. He only waited for the news the next day that the Eleventh Brother was dead, and found out the cause of death and the place where he drowned. Then Yinzhu came to tell him why the Eleventh Brother ran away.
When we went there, in order to save Yinzhen from being punished by his father, the eighth prince instructed him to keep quiet and wait to see how his father would deal with it.
It wasn't until later that the royal family confirmed the cause of the eleventh prince's death as a sudden illness, and with the emperor's indifferent response and Concubine Yi's constant crying, the eighth prince and the ninth prince came to an agreement and made up such a story.
, while confessing the fault of the ninth elder brother, he also involved the prince in this matter.
Yinzhen has been worried that if the prince denies it, he will not be able to explain clearly when confronted in the future, but the eighth prince concludes that his father will not involve the prince and their brothers with this matter. In other words, his father will not do anything to let the prince know.
They are brothers who are at odds with each other. But if some of the responsibility is assigned to the prince, it will be easier for the matter to go unsolved.
The first time he played a game with his father, Bago finally won.
"Huang Ama is very partial. My mother-in-law is in such pain, but he blames her for being ignorant." Brother Ninth smiled coldly, "I heard that when Brother Six was gone, my father gave many comforts to Concubine De.
, I was too young to remember things at that time, but there are many people in Yikun Palace who can remember things. It is really chilling to hear such words."
The eighth prince said indifferently: "This is Huang Ama's business and it's not our business. Yinzhen, you have to restrain yourself in the future. After such an incident, Huang Ama will look at you differently.
Nowadays, brothers have their own strengths, and you have to find what makes you better than others. I recently met a foreign priest. If you are interested, would you like him to teach you foreign language? At the moment, none of the brothers understand foreign language.
Yes, but Huang Ama values foreign learning and it will be useful in the future."
Yinzhen said: "It's a pity that it's inconvenient to be in the palace. When I leave the palace, Brother Bage, you can introduce me to me. Even at this age, I'm getting older. I really look forward to leaving as soon as possible. Nowadays, this palace is getting more and more boring."
They had arrived at Changchun Palace while they were talking, and they dispersed in front of the door. The eighth prince came in and saw Yuan promised to be standing in the courtyard, with his head hanging down. The maids beside him were also trembling. The little eunuch in front of the door came up and said, "Yuan promised to be arrested."
Your Majesty is standing still, Brother Eight, please go in, it has nothing to do with you."
Of course, the eighth prince would not care, and because they were all adults, it was no longer easy for them to talk to the young concubines in the palace. When they lived in the same place before, the eighth prince had almost no contact with Yuan Promise. Now
He walked around and walked to Concubine Hui's room. As soon as he entered, his face was full of smiles. When Concubine Hui saw him, she asked, "Did you leave at Wenhua Hall? Why didn't your eldest brother come in with you?"
The eighth prince smiled and said: "The eldest brother has won the praise of the emperor today. Now he and the prince are going to the Qing Palace to do errands."
