"Your Majesty, the situation is unclear now. There may be an ambush inside. It's better for me to go ahead and explore the way. You and the young master should follow behind."
"That's fine."
Kangxi nodded, followed Cao Yin's words, and took a step back.
Cao Yin and Nalan Rongruo looked at each other, shook the sabers in their hands, and then divided the guards into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and entered Jingqi Pavilion close to the gate.
However, the front yard was quiet and empty. Except for a few pots of flowers arranged on the mahogany flower stand under the eaves, there was nothing.
Qingyan saw these pots of flowers at a glance, and they happened to be the persimmons, peppers and sunflowers sent by Zhang Tianxi that afternoon in the imperial garden. The leaves were tender green, and they were obviously well taken care of. They could also be seen through the leaves.
Seeing the wet dark brown soil exposed on the surface of the flower pot, it was obviously watered just this morning.
But no one had any extra attention to worry about this at this time.
Cao Yin and Nalan Rongruo led their guards and rushed straight to the backyard of Jingqi Pavilion, followed closely by Kangxi, Qingyan, and Liang Jiugong.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Kangxi's pupils shrank and he saw his two sons, who were now only six years old together, gagged with white handkerchiefs.
The two small hands were tightly wrapped in white sweat towels and tied to the chest. A rope was passed through the chest under the armpits, and they were hung in the air on the red pillar of the second-floor attic.
Continuing to look up, one can clearly see that these two ropes are actually one thick rope divided into two strands. This "rope" is not an ordinary rope, but rather a blue-white piece that has been dismantled by someone.
The bed curtains were roughly made by being slowly rubbed for several days.
"Bao Qing, Bao Cheng." Qingyan was frightened by this scene and shouted out in public. Just as she was about to rush forward, Kangxi stretched out her hand to stop her.
The bad guys haven't shown up yet, so if you rush forward without hesitation, you might end up doing something bad.
The two children were tied together. When they saw Qingyan and their Khan Ama coming, it could be seen that they wanted to shout, but their mouths were blocked, so they could only shake their bodies with tears.
The golden bell rang with a crisp sound.
"Don't move!" Kangxi shouted.
The rope just happened to wrap around the wooden railing on the attic. Every time the brothers swayed, the rope rubbed against the railing. It could be seen that the edge of the rope was already damaged.
Seeing this scene, his heart felt like being pricked by needles. Both of his sons were raised by nobles and nobles. How could he ever suffer such a crime?
Now they are still five or six meters high from the ground. If the rope is broken due to the shaking of the two of them, they will probably die if they fall!
"Baoqing, Baocheng, be obedient and don't move. I will come to rescue you right away."
Treating two little dumplings like this, Qingyan wanted to kill the person behind them. She tried her best to force herself to calm down. As she spoke, she quickly scanned the surrounding furnishings to see if there was anything that could be used.
Something that can be leveraged on.
Just at this time, a voice with a rough and unpleasant voice like a male duck came down from the attic.
"Hey, the Tatar Emperor has finally arrived?" Eight or nine men wearing ordinary blue robes of eunuchs slowly walked out from behind the red painted pillars.
"You are so audacious, do you want to be executed by Lingchi?" Liang Jiugong shouted loudly.
The bug finally showed up. Kangxi squinted at the people above him and said in an icy voice: "Whose force are you from? Don't all the nine tribes want to live?"
"Bah, who do you think I belong to?"
The leading eunuch spat on the ground next to him and continued viciously: "Your grandma is a bitch. I am all a good man. If you have the guts to do this, you don't even think about surviving."
"Your Majesty, if we can kill the four sons of the Tatar Emperor in one fell swoop today, even if you grandfathers go to heaven, they will watch carefully in heaven to see if you, the barbarians who took over the Han people's territory, will become extinct.
"The chief eunuch said as he planned to cut the big rope above. Once the big rope was broken, the two children would inevitably slip down together instantly.
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? These people haven't arrived yet." A gentle female voice walked up the stairs step by step, gradually revealing her figure in front of people.
It was Princess Jianning who was being supported by Nanny An and standing behind the wooden railing. She was still wearing a silver-white flag dress embroidered with chrysanthemums, but the "cat paw print" originally embroidered with gold thread on her chest had
It turned bright red.
"Xuan Ye, you are so powerful. My aunt's family has six members. Five of them died because of you. Now you actually want to destroy my aunt's nine tribes?"
"Nine tribes! Then doesn't it mean that the entire Aixinjueluo family, including you, are going to die?" Princess Jianning covered her mouth slightly with her handkerchief and smiled gently, but her words sounded extremely harsh.
Already.
With her like this, Qingyan could no longer recall the feeling she had when she first met her in the imperial garden a few days ago, looking like a Guanyin and treating her as amiable.
"Little aunt, what do you mean by this?" Kangxi clenched his fists at his side, and blood came out of his palms, and he looked at the woman upstairs with eyes wide open.
"Shh~" Jianning put her index finger with a long gilt nail cover to her mouth to signal Kangxi to be silent.
"Xuan Ye, please wait, don't be in a hurry. When your good mother-in-law comes, I will let you listen to the cries of your two precious sons. Look, they are all scared to cry."
Princess Jianning stretched out her fingers and bent down slightly to touch Bao Qing's face. As soon as her fingers reached the side of Bao Qing's face, Bao Qing hit her hard with her head.
"Haha~ Is this a little stubborn donkey?"
"Look, they are so cute."
"And they both wore red clothes to celebrate your birthday today. Their delicate eyebrows, fair skin and soft skin are so beautiful."
Jianning pinched the small golden gourd crown in Baoqing's hair and giggled.
"And the most rare thing is that one is just four years old and the other is two years old. They are 'Bless the Qing Dynasty' and 'Bless them to grow up'. My little aunt also likes these two names very much."
"For the sake of them being the same age as my two young children and yet being so cute, I will send them both down today to stay with my poor children."
"Xuan Ye, look at it. I also brought over the clothes of your two little cousins. Don't worry, they will definitely be able to play together!" Jianning straightened up and shook the two pieces in his hand towards Kangxi.
Small clothes.
She watched coldly as the guards on the ground began to bend their bows and set arrows. Jianning calmly grabbed the sharp dagger from the leader's eunuch's hand, lightly scratched the rope, and saw that the rope was broken again.
some.
"Little aunt, stop! Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing!" Kangxi was so flustered when he saw Princess Jianning's appearance that he felt that the woman in front of him had fallen into madness.
"How could I go crazy? I am the little aunt who played with you and Fuquan since childhood!"
"What about me?" Jianning frowned slightly and said to Kangxi with an embarrassed look on his face: "I just want you to see whether your bow and arrow are faster or the dagger in my hand is faster. Haha, it makes me anxious.
Now, you two kids can't talk to each other."
"Ajige, you are so brave. Could it be that you have forgotten that your surname is Aixinjueluo and not Wu. Under the circumstances, do you still have the face to see your Khan Ama?" The Empress Dowager sat down after receiving the news.
The phoenix chariot rushed as fast as possible from Cining Palace in the west to Jingqi Pavilion located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City.
"Mother Huang." Kangxi turned around and saw the Empress Dowager walking over slowly and holding a cane with a dragon head, supported by the Empress Dowager and Aunt Sumala.
Seeing Aunt Sumala shaking her head slightly, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that what happened here has been blocked by Queen Mother. No matter what happens today, it will not spread to the harem.
"The old woman from the Tatar Emperor's family has also arrived." The chief eunuch bent down and pinched Yin Reng's face. The little prince also imitated the way he had just saved his life and knocked his dirty hands aside.
"Please keep your mouth clean. Do you really think death is an easy matter?"
The chief eunuch was so frightened by the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Kangxi that his hands couldn't help but tremble, and then angrily shouted to Princess Jianning: "Princess Tatar, you are such a bitching bitch, why don't you hurry up?"
I killed these two little brats a hundred times."
"Pah!" Jianning reached out and slapped him hard.
"It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. Don't think that I choose to cooperate with you. You Wu Sangui's spineless lackeys really think that you are a nobody."
"You, you." The man was stunned by Jianning's slap, but he was really just a minion. He reluctantly took a step back and gave up the throne to Princess Jianning.
"Ajige takes advantage of the moment to release Baoqing and Baocheng. The Ai family will, for the sake of your adoptive mother and Khan Amma, convince Xuan Ye to send you out of the capital." The Empress Dowager held the crutch in her hand tightly.
Squinting at the middle-aged woman in the attic.
"Haha? Foster mother? Bumbutai, how can you still have the nerve to mention my noble mother?"
"Have you forgotten? She was pissed to death by your good son who shamelessly seized his sister-in-law and made his fifteen-year-old brother feel ashamed and angry to death."
"I don't even understand. Your family is obviously a shameless beneficiary. Why do you still have the nerve to mention her today?" Princess Jianning's voice lost its previous gentleness and became extremely sharp and cold.
Hearing what Jian Ning said, the Empress Dowager felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart. If not for this, why would she take Xuan Ye to pay Namu Zhong's death in person?
"Kechun, whether you believe it or not, the Aijia understands how you feel. The Aijia family has experienced the pain of losing a husband in old age, a daughter, and a son in old age. The pain of a white-haired person sending away a black-haired person with his own hands.
I've passed." The Empress Dowager looked at Jianning upstairs, touched her heart and tried to persuade her.
"You are a sensible person. You should know that Xuanye was not at fault for what happened back then. If Wu Sangui hadn't raised an army to rebel in Yunnan, and then pointed his sword at the royal family, pressing forward step by step, causing turmoil in the Qing Dynasty, Xuanye would have been forced to do so.
I won’t attack your little family in the capital."
"Since you are the princess of the Qing Dynasty and have enjoyed that honor, you should shoulder your corresponding responsibilities!" The Queen Mother weakly knocked the crutch in her hand on the bluestone floor tiles.
"Honor, responsibility?" Jian Ning laughed loudly, laughing and crying. He kept repeating these two words in his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
"Is the Qing brother born as valuable as a treasure? Is the Qing princess born as humble as grass?"
Jianning covered her heart that was suffocating with pain and cried every word: "As a princess of the Qing Dynasty, your good son married a Han man in a hurry in the name of responsibility. I finally got through the running-in period.
, lived a happy life, but your good grandson once again ordered his wife and children to be separated, and everyone to be executed in the name of responsibility? "
"Yes, you are so powerful. After your husband died, you were still able to shoulder the important task of assisting two generations of young emperors to ascend the throne. You watched with cold eyes as the Mongolian women in the palace came into the palace one by one and sat on the bench, and then dismissed the princesses of the Qing Dynasty.
One by one, you are sent to Mongolia to eat sand and die at a young age. You may not even blink an eye."
"What a great structure you have. Opening your mouth and keeping silent is the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia. Opening your mouth and keeping silent is the honor and responsibility."
"But we are not you. We just want to spend this short life quietly with our husband and children, right?"
As Jianning spoke, he suddenly bent down and removed the handkerchiefs from Baoqing and Baocheng's mouths.
"Khan Ama, aunt/aunt Erwa, Ukuma." Baoqing and Baocheng were so frightened by this experience that they cried.
"Did you see that my three sons were crying and shouting like this back then? Did you let them go? Ah? Talk! Why didn't you say anything?"
"You don't. You live in this splendid Forbidden City. You can't hear or see and just pretend that these things don't exist at all. So why are you asking me to let him go now?"
"Baocheng, right? You were born as a prince, and you were born to conquer your mother. Do you know how your empress died? She was tortured to death by you."
"Bad girl Yin, you are talking nonsense. Damn it, Huang's mother has gone to Changshengtian to be a guest." Yinreng cried and said.
"Changshengtian? How cute!"
"Didn't anyone in Chengdu tell you that only dead people will go to the Immortal Heaven?" Jianning was treating his own child, his tone was extremely kind but his words were bloody.
"Woohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. He cried loudly. He already knew what was dead today.
Those who had just been killed there left a lot of blood, and the ground was covered with blood.
"Jianning, shut up for the Aijia!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at the expressionless Kangxi beside her, knowing that there was no way out. As soon as these words were spoken, Jianning would definitely die. This was the end result.
It touched Xuan Ye's heart.
Kangxi looked at Princess Jianning with a dead look in his eyes. He put his hands behind his back and made a slight gesture. Cao Yin who was following him moved quickly while the people upstairs were not paying attention.
Under a pear tree on the left side of the attic. He and Dawa were killed without being hit into the sack. There was a lot of blood, and it was all over the floor.
