My face seemed to be pricked by something, and there was a slight pain. I stretched out my hand to pull it out, and my hand was gently held. His anxious voice came to my ears: "Ruoxi." Then a pair of small hands touched my face again.
He stroked her back and forth: "Mother, Han'er is very well-behaved. Don't ignore Han'er."
I was dizzy and listened to him keep yelling at the imperial doctor. I struggled to open my eyes and tried my best to still say, "Your Majesty."
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and two faces, one big and one small, appeared in front of me. Yinzhen looked haggard, and his beard on his lower jaw had grown half a finger. He looked at each other, and his eyes were tender and silent, wrapping me tightly. Honghan Xu was
Seeing that I ignored him, he stretched out his little hand, turned my face to face him, curled his lips and said aggrievedly: "Mother, isn't Han'er good? Why have you slept for so long? Don't you want to see Han'er?"
My heart tightened, and I suddenly remembered what happened that day. The words "intestinal piercing and belly rot" were ringing in my ears. I turned over and was about to get up, only to find that I didn't have any strength in my body. I only moved my head slightly, and I was still lying on the bed.
.
Yinzhen frowned, bent down to lift up my body and put a soft cushion on me, and said softly: "What do you want to do, just tell me and tell me to go down." I leaned forward, anxious in my heart, but without any strength.
, whispered: "I want to see Thirteen soon."
He nodded, sat next to my legs and said, "Gao Wuyong, Prince Yi is in the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters." Only then did I realize that there was a row of imperial doctors standing in front of the bed. Next to me, Qiao Hui and Gao Wuyong were also standing upright.
.
Gao Wuyong took two steps forward and said softly: "Your Majesty has been in the garden these days. Even if he is not in the main hall, he will discuss matters with the ministers at the Xianliang Gate. I will go and announce it now."
Yinzhen waved his hand and dismissed all the imperial doctors. Gao Wuyong and Qiaohui followed suit, but Honghan, who was being held by Qiaohui, grabbed my hand and said, "Han'er won't leave, Han'er will stay with E Niang."
Qiaohui coaxed her with nice words for a while, but Honghan still didn't let go. She looked at me with embarrassment. I caressed Honghan's face and persuaded her gently: "Han'er, be good. If your mother were in better health, she would definitely have convulsions."
Time to continue teaching Haner abacus mental arithmetic." Honghan looked at me doubtfully: "Eniang means what she says." I smiled and nodded, and the little guy turned around and followed Qiaohui out.
Thirteen moved a chair and sat on the bedside, looked at Yinzhen and then asked me: "Sister-in-law, if you can hold your own, you can tell me everything in front of the emperor today. If this happened, you should be punished by the emperor."
An explanation." When I woke up, I looked for Thirteen urgently. Although Yinzhen didn't ask about the product, he always looked calm and sat looking at me silently.
At this time, hearing what Thirteen said, Yinzhen sighed softly: "What did you hide from me?" I stared at Thirteen, feeling sad for ten years, ten years of confinement, and the loss of my beloved, everything was related to me.
He bit his lower lip lightly, closed his eyes for a while, forced himself to suppress his sadness, and said to Thirteen: "The poison in your medicine is chronic. Now go to Zhang Yuzhi and his master immediately to find the antidote."
Be quick, and you must take the antidote within three months." After saying this, he felt short of breath, holding his chest and gasping.
Thirteen smiled slightly and didn't answer. However, Yinzhen's expression tightened and his brows furrowed. He reached out and gently rubbed my chest. When my breathing became smooth, he asked, "What's going on?" I raised myself up with my hands.
, did not answer his words, but still stared at Thirteen and said: "You can no longer suffer the hardship of traveling and traveling, so you should wait in the garden and send someone to bring him."
Thirteen shook his head and said: "I don't have any physical discomfort. Besides, I haven't taken her medicine a few times." I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. Yinzhen had already called Gao Wuyong loudly and ordered: "Ming Tingyu"
Send someone back home as soon as possible to find Zhang Yuzhi in the garden. In addition, you can send someone to look for him in the chrysanthemum house." Gao Wuyong agreed and hurried out.
Yinzhen stared at me: "Do you still have the strength to say it?" I nodded and said: "Guarjia Landong is an old member of the eighth master's house. She had left the house when I entered the house. We have never had any plans.
When she was taken away from the palace that time, I saw her wandering in front of the palace, and I always had doubts..."
After finishing speaking intermittently, Hongli and Zhang Yuzhi entered the door one after another. After Zhang Yuzhi saluted, he stood to one side. Seeing that Thirteen was still sitting upright without taking anything seriously, I felt sad and said to Zhang Yuzhi: "Where does your master live?"
How far is it from the garden?"
Zhang Yuzhi was startled for a moment: "My master is in Tianmu Mountain, but when I and my junior sister came down from the mountain, the master has gone out to travel, so I can't be sure that he is in the mountain now." Zhang Yuzhi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "But Lan Xi got into trouble?"
I felt a pain in my heart. Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Yuzhi silently and waved his hand to Gao Wuyong for instructions. Gao Wuyong nodded and led Zhang Yuzhi out.
Yinzhen remained silent after he finished speaking. I felt uncomfortable in my heart. I didn’t know how to explain the identity of Lan Dong and I. After a few people were silent for a while, he suddenly said: "She spent so much time planning, why does she hate me so much?"
, or even hate you?"
I smiled bitterly for a while and murmured to myself: "Why, because she hates, she hates that she has lost the care of her relatives, she hates that she has lost the warmth of her life, and she hates even more, probably because I took advantage of her...
." Before I finished speaking, Hongli suddenly said: "Huang Ama, I found this medicine from Lan Dong. I wonder if it was mixed into Uncle Thirteen's medicine."
Yinzhen's face turned darker, Shisan still looked indifferent, but I felt more and more uncomfortable in my heart. In fact, what I was most worried about was that it was not that Shisan was poisoned, but that he had no love left, and death meant nothing to him.
Just relief.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Yuzhi's master's portrait was quickly sent to various provinces, but I didn't feel any excitement in my heart, and I vaguely felt that Thirteen would not be able to pass this level.
Staring at Thirteen, Thirteen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry so much, there are still three months left, right?" I nodded and said, "We must come back safely." Thirteen raised his head and smiled at Yinzhen.
He said: "Fortunately, fourth brother is by my side. Otherwise, people who see you will misunderstand your repeated instructions."
I was shocked. He called him "Fourth Brother" instead of "Emperor Brother", and he was surrounded by guards. The ominous omen in his heart was stronger. Yinzhen was also slightly startled, and stepped forward to pat Thirteen.
On the shoulder: "Fourth brother is waiting for you to come back."
Thirteen nodded and jumped into the car. My eyes were filled with tears: "We will give you a ride again." Thirteen smiled heartily and said, "You have already left the Xianliang Gate, maybe you still want to send you out of the garden."
The carriage started to move forward. I hurriedly took two steps and said loudly: "Yunxiang, remember that fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are waiting for you to come back. When you come back, you will host Chenghuan's wedding."
Thirteen's smile froze, but then disappeared, still smiling and saying: "After I leave, Cheng Huan should follow the fourth sister-in-law in the garden." After saying that, he opened the curtain and entered, and the carriage gradually went away.
In the midst of panic, it finally arrived in May of the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign.
Standing in the pavilion, looking at the crimson twilight on the horizon, I was secretly glad. Maybe there was a discrepancy between reality and history. Thirteen did not die in May. Or maybe I remembered wrongly. Thirteen was in Yongzheng.
There was no death at all during the year, yes, I must have remembered it wrong.
"Miss, Miss." I was deep in thought when suddenly I heard Qiaohui's anxious cry. I turned around and saw Qiaohui walking up two steps at a time. I hurriedly walked down the steps, supported her and complained: "I'm getting older, and my feet are hurting."
Be careful, injuries caused by a fall can be serious or minor."
Qiaohui gasped and said: "Miss, something happened, Prince Yi..." Before she finished speaking, I was startled, my body trembled, and my mind suddenly went blank, Qiaohui's voice was still there.
In the ear: "... passed away, Your Majesty, Gege has gone to Jiaohui Garden."
I ran down the stairs quickly, and Qiaohui shouted from behind: "Miss, be careful where you step..." Before I could finish my words, my steps were gone, and I had already turned over and rolled down.
My ears were ringing and stars were shining in front of my eyes. I turned over and tried to get up, but as soon as I got up, I fell to the ground again with an 'ah' sound. Qiaohui had already ran over, opened my clothes, and choked out: "Miss, your feet
...." I took her arm and whined: "Hel me up, hurry up."
Qiaohui shook her head and said, "Miss, it seems that your feet have been injured and you can't move. I will ask someone to bring the stool over." I pulled her and said, "I must go to Jiaohui Garden.
"
Qiao Hui was silent for a while and then said: "Miss, do you know what the second young lady is most afraid of?" I shook my head blankly, and she whispered: "Snakes, when she hears snakes, she will definitely jump up." I grabbed her hand.
He let go of his hand, lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "What do you want to say?"
Qiaohui patted the dirt on my body and said: "My second young lady has passed away, and no one can replace her. But in my heart, you are also my young lady, the third young lady. Now you are pregnant, and you were pregnant last time."
You were frightened, and besides, the emperor had an order when he left, not allowing you to go to Jiaohui Garden. You have injured your ankle. Now that you go, the eunuchs and maids in the garden must have been punished to stop you. Do you know that last time?
Because Lan Dong can easily enter the pavilion..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped and gave me a horrified look. I closed my eyes, lay weakly on the ground, and smiled bitterly. A few days ago, the guards of Zhenxi Pavilion suddenly changed. I even asked Yinzhen, but he downplayed it.
The explanation of "the guards in the garden are all exchanged", what he said is also true, and he didn't think much about it. After hearing what Qiaohui said today, could it be...
He was leaning on the bed, his left hand and right foot wrapped in thick cloth, holding a book in his right hand, staring at the book, but his mind was empty, without any sense of autonomy.
There was a gentle knock on the door twice, and I came to my senses and said hurriedly: "Come in." Xiao Shunzi came in, and after bowing, he said: "Today, the emperor issued an edict to restore the name of the prince to Yinxiang, and he will be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. In addition, the prince's additional name is proposed to be
Xian, and ordered the eight characters 'loyal, respectful, honest, upright, diligent, cautious, honest and bright' to be placed on the character Xian."
I smiled sadly: "Forget public service and regard national affairs as family affairs; be careful and conscientious, not neglecting any detail; being single-minded and honest, not deceitful or hypocritical; speaking out without hiding anything, being the same on the outside and inside; working hard to serve the public, working tirelessly day and night; never letting loose in one move."
, Not a single word is leaked; cleanliness is spotless; understanding is thorough, things are done in detail, pros and cons are known, and the wise and the foolish are distinguished.”
Xiao Shunzi was stunned: "How do you know, the emperor said so?" I shook my head with a wry smile and said no more. Xiao Shunzi turned around and walked away with a suspicious look on his face. After taking two steps, he seemed to be walking away again.
Thinking of something, he stopped and turned around and said: "Prince Cheng Yunzhi always comes late to the prince's funeral and leaves early, with a sad face. The emperor has ordered that he be handed over to the clan for discussion."
Since the fall, I have been sending verbal messages to Yinzhen. He had no choice but to send Xiao Shunzi back every day to deliver the message.
A person sat silently, but his heart was in turmoil. If he didn't know anything, wouldn't it mean that there would be no subsequent series of events, no Shisan's ten years of imprisonment, Minghui's tragic death, and the eighth prince's divorce letter? There would be no such thing as the above.
There is no such thing as Sixty's death; Luwu's death, Thirteen's death; and even the death of the guards in the pavilion...
After thinking about it, it turns out that all of this was caused by myself. I wanted my sister to have no regrets, but I didn't expect that such a series of misunderstandings would happen. It turned out that I was the murderer of these people. No wonder others
, I am the culprit of all this.
I have a splitting headache. I close my eyes and hold my head with my hands. I curl up on the bed. The wounds on my body may have opened up, but I don’t feel any pain. I still feel a little happy. If my body hurts a little, then my heart will hurt less.
.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Hui's concerned voice came to my ears. I shook my head and was speechless. She pulled down my arm, pinched my jaw and said, "Miss, open your mouth. Your lip is bitten and bleeding.
.”
I was still biting my lower lip, and my body was trembling slightly, "Mother, you are ruining yourself like this, just to make your relatives happy and your enemies happy."
What is family, what is hatred, is she an enemy? I thought for a while, and suddenly realized that the voice just now was not Qiao Hui's.
Her exclamation that day suddenly came to my mind, and I slowly opened my eyes. Qiao Hui hurriedly twisted the handkerchief to wipe the blood on my lips. I reached out to take the handkerchief, put it aside, and found Xiaoling standing beside Qiaohui.
Next to Hui, she was short and made a blessing. I suddenly noticed something abnormal about her neck. I was startled and asked, "What's wrong with your neck?"
Xiaoling touched it with her hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing." Qiaohui beside him interrupted: "On that day, Xiaoling returned to Qinzheng Hall from the pavilion and reported to Eunuch Gao that the empress didn't eat much. The emperor ordered the chef
I made some side dishes for the empress and ordered Xiaoling to bring them over. When she came, it happened that Lan Dong was holding a hairpin to force you. When the servant shouted that there was a snake, Miss Xiaoling took advantage of Lan Dong's panic and pounced on you. As a result,
She was stabbed in the neck. That Lan Dong was so strong. If the fourth brother had not been there at that time, none of us would be her opponent."
I was shocked, "Fourth Brother", Hongli was also present at that time, and I suddenly understood why he stopped talking that day and didn't let me continue. I think he already understood Lan Dong's identity.
After thinking quietly for a while, I looked up at her and asked, "Has the wound healed?" She smiled and said, "The emperor ordered the imperial doctor to treat me. It's almost healed now, but the bandage can't be untied. Madam, Xiao Ling
I don’t understand the real reason, but if you torture yourself like this, it will not have any effect except making the people who care about you miserable and heartbroken."
I nodded and forced a smile: "It makes sense in ordinary words. Thank you." She looked flustered and hurriedly said, "The empress killed the slave. It is the slave's right to do so."
I sighed deeply and stood up silently. When the two of them saw this, they quietly stepped away with a smile. Qiaohui frowned and bandaged my wound again. After a while, Qiaohui said softly: "I went to see Miss Lan Dong once.
She asked her slave to bring a message and wanted to see you. But Fourth Brother told her not to let you know. But I thought about it and decided whether to see you or not is up to you."
I thought for a while, and my heart was full of sadness: "Bring her here, no, send me there." Qiao Hui looked at me silently for a while, nodded, turned around and went out to prepare the sedan chair.
Sitting in the sedan chair, I opened a corner of the curtain and saw that there was a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps inside the Xinghuachun Hall. The guards all looked solemn and solemn.
Putting down the curtain, he leaned on the cushions and sighed secretly. Since the accident, Na Lashi couldn't afford to be sick and had to come to visit me many times, but Yinzhen told me, 'take care of yourself first'. In this way
, but her illness is getting worse. The people in the palace are busy taking care of Nala, and the garden is busy with Shisan and I. The maids and eunuchs are all coming and going in a hurry, their faces are solemn, and there are too many things happening in succession.
, maybe everyone couldn’t accept it all of a sudden.
But what followed was even more panic-stricken. During this month, Yinzhen still accepted the suggestions of the ministers and decided to postpone Zhongheer's march for one year, and condemned Yilu and other ministers to ask for an edict.
The title was granted, and all subordinates were assigned flags and leaders. However, when Fu Erdan and Yue Zhongqi returned to Beijing to discuss matters, Galdan Celing raided the Qing army stationed in Koshetu. Since the army had no chief general, the general was
, the deputy general fought bloody battles for seven days, although he was not defeated, but he still suffered heavy losses. When Yinzhen heard the news, he was furious and returned to the garden from Jiaohui Garden.
The northwest corner of the Old Summer Palace, Shuimu Mingse.
Only in summer will eunuchs come here to introduce spring water into the room and use hydraulic power to turn the fan to achieve the effect of cooling the room. Therefore, in the other three seasons, some old and frail eunuchs are left to maintain tools and clean the courtyard. But
Nowadays, the courtyard is surrounded by guards. Only birds can enter, but no one walking on the ground can enter without a token.
After getting off the sedan chair and opening the door, Hongli hurried over and asked with a frown: "You haven't recovered yet, why?"
