Prince Yu Fuquan, who was riding a horse from the middle of the motorcade, saw that the emperor and the others looked unhappy. He quickly turned over and dismounted, pressing the saddle and quickly walked towards Kangxi. He had just stood behind Kangxi when he heard two
There was deep worry in the tone of nephew Yinreng's voice. He slightly raised his head to look at Chang Ning and Long Xi and asked:
"Uncle Prince Gong, Uncle Prince Chunqin, are you sick?"
Hearing the prince's question, Fu Quan couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and stood beside Yin Reng, staring closely at his fifth and seventh brothers.
"this……"
Long Xi and Chang Ning heard the second nephew's direct question and looked at the anxious eyes of the two brothers in front of them, Huang's mother-in-law and Xiao Huang's sister-in-law. They instantly felt extremely stressed and couldn't help but look at each other, stumbling and unable to speak.
A complete sentence.
Now, even a fool can tell that something must have happened in the Cining Palace during the tour of Wutai Mountain. Kangxi lost his patience. The two big hands hanging by his side were slightly clenched, and he pursed his lips and growled coldly:
"Chang Ning, tell me! What's going on! What's wrong with Madam Huang? If you two dare to look down on me again, believe it or not, I'll skin you!"
"Oh, you two damn kids, hurry up and talk, you really want to scare us to death!"
The Queen Mother was also annoyed by these two stupid boys. She frowned and bit her lower lip. She raised her hand and slapped Chang Ning and Long Xi hard on the back one by one.
The brothers felt a pain on their backs and did not dare to escape.
Chang Ning lowered his head and cupped his hands forward, and said in a slightly trembling tone:
"Empress, brother, it's all the slaves' fault."
"On the morning of the second day after you left the palace, Madam Huang was sitting in the small Buddhist hall of Cining Palace reciting Buddhist scriptures as usual. Unexpectedly, when she got up, her head felt dizzy for no reason, and she couldn't hold the dragon-head crutch in her hand tightly.
If your feet slip, jump forward."
"Even though the palace staff rushed forward to help her quickly, they still accidentally caused Madam Huang's right leg to fall on her knee. Doctor Zhang went over to take a closer look and said that the bones of the elderly were brittle, and Madam Huang's kneecap was broken by the fall.
My son was broken and he will have to recover for a year and a half, and he may not be able to do well in the future..."
Chang Ning's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, his eyes were red with discomfort, and his head was so low that it was almost buried on his chest. Long Xi, who was standing next to him, also had tears in his eyes.
"You, you are so capable, you dare to hide such a thing from me!"
Kangxi's hands were shaking with anger and his eyes were red with pain. He pointed at Chang Ning and Long Xi with his right index finger and scolded them in a low voice.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but swayed, and Qingyan quickly stretched out her arms to hug her.
"The Ai family knew that the dream the night before yesterday was not good. After waking up from the nightmare, they prayed devoutly to the Changsheng Heaven. However, like the emperor, something happened."
Qiqige, who has been in the palace since she was a girl and has always supported each other with the Empress Dowager, burst into tears immediately and said sadly:
Every prairie girl who didn’t grow up on a horse can’t bear to have her feet bound. Now that I’m getting old, it’s heartbreaking to know that I can no longer walk after a fall!
Qingyan's eyes also flashed with a hint of unbearability. The Queen Mother was an elder she respected from the bottom of her heart. The old man had osteoporosis and was easily afraid of falling. Many old people may have fallen accidentally in winter.
, those who fail to survive the warm spring will be gone...
When Yinreng heard the unexpected news, the eyes of the bright and bright Ruifeng became misty. He couldn't help but recall the appearance of Guo Luomafa before his death, and a huge feeling surged in his heart.
Panicked, he hurriedly raised his sleeve and wiped his red eyes, tugged Kangxi's sleeve with his right hand, looked at him anxiously and said:
"Khan Ama, let's not waste time here, and hurry back to the palace to see Aunt Ukumar!"
Kangxi suppressed the anger in his heart, blinked away the tears in his eyes, turned to the imperial concubine and said:
"Yan'er, go get the box of Buddhist scriptures written by the master. The convoy is moving too slowly. Let's go back to the palace first and let Chang Ning and Long Xi follow the second brother and lead the convoy slowly behind."
Qingyan also knew the priority of the matter, nodded quickly, asked Yinreng to come over and help her, Queen Mother, and then turned around and walked quickly to her large carriage.
The courtiers standing behind Prince Gong and Prince Chun, as well as the elder brother and princesses who were sitting in the carriage with the glass window open and looking out, saw undisguised anxiety on the faces of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince.
He knew that something big must have happened in the White House.
Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu, who were standing side by side, couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both understood each other's eyes.
Suo'etu quietly pointed to the west with his hand, which represented the Cining Palace located on the west side of the Forbidden City.
Nalan Mingzhu nodded vaguely. The two rivals had reached a rare agreement, but their faces were full of worry. The Chinese New Year was about to come, and the emperor had just returned from a grand trip to Mount Wutai with his family members to pray for blessings.
, if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were to drive away from Hexi, oh, then this would be a slap in the face and unlucky! It would not look good in the history books!
Inside the third large carriage.
Qingyan hurriedly opened a small carved mahogany box. In addition to a small wooden box containing several Buddhist scriptures, there were also two brown sepak takraw balls placed side by side, two peace blessings with red background and gold characters, and two
She gently bit her lower lip and locked the lid of the box with a snap, intending to take it with her to Cining Palace.
Bai Lu stood at the door of the carriage, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ten, Xiao Eleven and the twins sitting on the wool carpet with their short legs spread apart looked at the imperial concubine.
As soon as I got in the car, I looked restless, looking around anxiously, and my head was filled with questions.
"Master, did something important happen in the palace?"
Seeing the frown on her face, Bai Lu couldn't help but step forward, leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Qingyan raised her head and glanced at the concerned look on her confidant's maiden's face. She pursed her lips and whispered briefly:
"Lu, the Queen Mother's right knee is injured. The injury is quite serious. The Emperor has decided that we should go back to the palace first. You want these children to follow Prince Yu and others back to the palace."
Hearing this, the eyes of Bai Lu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ten and Xiao Eleven all widened in shock.
The twins, who were sitting on the woolen blanket with toys in their hands, were so frightened that they threw aside the Russian matryoshka dolls in their hands. When they saw E Niang carrying a small mahogany box with one hand, they planned to open the cotton curtain and get out of the car. Xiao Yinxiang and Xiao Yinxiang
Yinzhen quickly crawled over on his hands and knees, hugged the imperial concubine's calves tightly with his two short arms, raised his furry little head, looked at them, and said softly:
"Uh-huh, look, Wuwu!"
"Thirteen, fourteen, you two, please let go of me, mother-in-law."
Qingyan wanted to pull her legs out of the short arms of the two brothers, but was afraid of hurting them, so she couldn't help shouting coldly.
"No!"
The two little brothers stubbornly shook their little heads wearing golden tiger hats.
Bai Lu became anxious when she saw the mother and son struggling.
She understood what her master was thinking. The roads in the outskirts of Beijing were full of bumpy yellow soil. Even if she was sitting in the driver's seat, it would still be extremely bumpy when driving quickly. Forget it, adults, but the baby would definitely not be able to bear it.
Furthermore, if the Empress Dowager is really seriously ill, there will definitely be chaos in Cining Palace. The imperial concubine will not be able to take care of the twins when she is busy in Cining Palace. It is better to leave them behind and follow the convoy slowly.
Back to the palace.
"You two obey me and let go. If you don't let go, my mother will be angry."
Seeing that time was running out, Kangxi, the Empress Dowager and his nephew were already waiting for her in the chariot. The twins still didn't let go, and the imperial concubine was really angry.
"Woooooooo, go, go."
When the twins saw that their mother was not taking them back to the palace, they started crying.
Bai Lu couldn't bear to look at it and spoke out to persuade:
"Master, why don't you take the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers back to the palace together? The Empress Dowager will definitely be happy to see the two little great-grandsons. They are still young and can't live without E Niang. Even if
You left them here, the twins must have been crying at the top of their lungs."
"Yes, Queen Mother, please go back with your two little brothers quickly. Xiao Qi will take good care of Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ten and Xiao Eleven."
Xiao Yinyou, who is almost four years old, said in a sweet voice.
Xiaoba also nodded and said, "Xiaoba will also help Brother Qi."
Qingyan turned her head and looked at the five children, then looked down at the two twins with big eyes filled with water. The two brothers were usually naughty and ugly, but now they have turned into pitiful little crybabies who were aggrieved.
The child is your own, no matter how angry you are, you cannot throw it away.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to hand the small mahogany box in her hand to Bai Lu, squatted down and said to the five brothers in a gentle voice:
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Eleven, you four will go directly to your mother-in-law after returning to the palace, you know? Xiao Shi will follow Aunt Bai Lu back to Chuxiu Palace, and the five of you will sit in the carriage and ask for
Listen to Aunt Bai Lu and don't run around in the carriage, do you understand?"
The five brothers nodded their heads obediently.
Qingyan stretched out her arms to hug the twins, and hurriedly got out of the carriage with Bailu.
From a distance, the courtiers saw the imperial concubine hugging her two twin brothers and getting into the royal chariot at the front. Then she took a small box from the arms of her eldest maid. Before they could understand what she was doing,
The bright yellow chariot was like an arrow leaving the string, rushing forward along the loess road at high speed.
"Sister, what's going on?"
Ke Jing looked at Fulana anxiously and asked in a low voice.
The eldest princess shook her head and took on the responsibility of the eldest sister. She held the slightly frightened little Yinzhen, who was almost two years old, in her arms and patted her softly to comfort her younger brothers and sisters in the carriage:
"Don't panic, there's Ama Khan, Mama Huang and Madam Huang. Nothing will happen. We'll find out when we get back to the palace."
Ke Jing bit her lower lip with her small teeth. Even though she was restless, she closed the window and waited anxiously for the motorcade to return to the palace.
Following behind, Yinzhen and several older children were scratching their heads and scratching their heads in anxiety, wishing they could fly back to the Forbidden City with wings.
Menshikov also stuck his reddish-brown curly hair out of the glass window. After squinting slightly to see the whole process, he retracted his head into the carriage and said impatiently;
"Your Majesty, something terrible seems to have happened in the palace of the Qing Emperor. My subordinates saw the Qing Emperor taking his mother and the queen, the prince got on the carriage, and the imperial concubine hurriedly holding a pair of twins behind her.
It went to the ground."
Peter, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating, heard this and said quietly without even moving his eyelids:
"knew."
Menshikov was confused by the cold reaction of his little tsar. He scratched his hair with his hands in confusion and looked at Golovin sitting opposite.
Golovin couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth, and said rather speechlessly:
"Menshikov, just be honest and sit in your seat peacefully. No matter how big the issue is in the Qing Dynasty, can it be bigger than our current prisoner's escape through smuggling?"
After hearing Golovin's words, Menshikov suddenly became depressed again, drooped his head with a dejected look and stopped talking.
The imperial driver sped forward along the official road at twice the speed as usual. No one in the carriage spoke. They all frowned and pursed their lips. The atmosphere was solemn.
The twins, who were held in E Niang's arms, swayed wildly with the ups and downs of the imperial concubine's body. Their plump little buttocks were hurt by E Niang's legs, but they were sensible enough to say nothing.
There were guards riding horses in front of them to clear the way. The charioteer ran very fast. It usually took more than an hour to walk, but now it only took more than half an hour to reach the Forbidden City.
The imperial driver stopped at Xihua Gate, which is closest to Cining Palace.
As soon as a few people got out of the car, Kangxi strode forward carrying the small mahogany box, striding and then running.
The imperial concubine held the twins in her arms, Yinreng supported the empress dowager, and the three children, one large and one young, followed quickly behind him.
