At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, although it has become much warmer, the light rain with cold wind still makes people feel very chilly.
Zhenxi Pavilion.
Yinzhen's face was slightly angry, and he clenched the armrests of the chair with both hands, his fingers turning white from using too much force. Thirteen sat down at the bottom with a frown on his forehead.
As expected, the Eight Kings' Political Consultation took place. The Eight Lords and Nine Lords joined forces with the Eight Banners leaders to go to the palace to force the palace, in an attempt to evade the imperial power.
Yinzhen is an emotionally reserved person, with light expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but this time he showed anger, which shows that this incident really angered him. Although the eighth and ninth masters were responsible for this incident, there was one person
Longkodo, who he publicly called his uncle and was entrusted with the important task of being the governor of the Nine Gates, was also involved. I think the grief and anger in his heart at this time could not be described in words.
I tiptoed, holding the tea and slowly placing it on the tables beside him. There was hatred in his eyes: "I named Lao Ba a prince when I first came to the throne, and I tolerated them again and again, but they repeatedly
Force me."
Thirteen Weiwu sighed and said: "Brother, there is no need to worry about this matter anymore. This matter has been settled."
Yinzhen slapped on the table with a 'snap' sound, and the tea bowl broke with the sound. Blood flowed out from his fingers, but he didn't know it. I frowned and stared closely, hesitated for a moment, went down and twisted the handkerchief.
I walked up, grabbed his hand and gently wiped away the blood. His hand trembled, and my mind swayed. I quickly lowered my eyes and took off the handkerchief, and wrapped it around him gently.
Thirteen's expression changed from puzzlement to nervousness, and he loudly ordered Gao Wuyong: "Quickly announce the imperial doctor."
After the imperial doctor bandaged up, Gao Wuyong and the imperial doctor walked out together. Shisan glanced at me, and his face returned to a calm expression. I felt tight in my heart, and hurriedly lowered my head and started to clean up the fragments on the table. Yinzhen suddenly said: "Put it down.
I'll let Gao Wuyong order someone to clean it up later."
I agreed softly and stood aside silently. Thirteen looked up at me again, my face heated up, and then the three of them fell silent.
In this uncomfortable silence, I suddenly heard the thumping of footsteps outside, and I couldn't help but smile, the savior was here.
Cheng Huan jumped in and ran in, followed by Hong Li with a smile on his face. Cheng Huan glanced at me and rushed towards Yinzhen. She squeezed and stood beside Yinzhen's legs, picked up his hand and frowned: "Uncle Huang
,Why is your hand injured?"
A smile flashed across Yinzhen's eyes: "It doesn't matter." Upon hearing this, Chenghuan put down his hand and climbed up to sit next to Yinzhen. Thirteen smiled and scolded: "Chenghuan, don't be naughty." Chenghuan
He looked up at Yinzhen, then turned to look timidly at Thirteen, and stood aside obediently without saying a word.
Yinzhen smiled and hugged Cheng Huan on his lap, and said to Hongli, who was still standing: "You come here often these days." Hongli looked panicked and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to Huang Ama, I just want to
Send Miss Chenghuan back, I’m going back now.”
Looking at Hongli's slightly embarrassed face, I smiled and stared at Chenghuan. The little girl rolled her eyes and understood what I meant. Sure enough, Chenghuan raised his head and said, "Uncle Huang, I want brother Hongli to come with me."
Have a meal."
Yinzhen smiled and said: "Thirteenth brother, don't leave either. Let's have dinner together."
I still put the plain ones in front of Yinzhen and Shisan, and the non-food ones in front of Chenghuan and Hongli.
Cheng Huan picked up the chopsticks and looked at the Chinese pork chop, and asked me with a smile: "Auntie, is this the Chinese pork chop you are talking about?" I nodded, Cheng Huan looked at Yinzhen with excitement, just waiting for him to start, Yinzhen and
Thirteen looked at each other, and Thirteen smiled and said: "Brother, let's get started."
After eating a few mouthfuls, Yinzhen asked me: "Did you cook the dishes in the Queen's Palace last time?" Just as he was about to say yes, Cheng Huan said: "Uncle Huang, my aunt cooked it last time. The dishes cooked by my aunt are delicious.
It's delicious." Listening to Cheng Huan's unclear reply, Shisan shook his head, patted Cheng Huan's back gently and said with a smile: "Don't choke, it's not like a girl's home at all."
I looked at the people eating silently, feeling in a trance. I felt that I was no longer Zhang Xiaowen. What Zhang Xiaowen disdained most was caring for his husband and raising his children. But now, he seemed to be a man who devoted himself every day to cooking for his dear husband and lovely children.
They prepare dishes and worry about their wives and mothers all the time.
"Xiaowen, what's wrong with you?" When I heard Hongli's question, I said "Ah", wondering what happened.
Seeing several people looking at me at the same time, I quickly looked at Hongli with questioning eyes, and Hongli said: "Huang Ama praised your cooking."
I hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I only used ordinary ingredients. It's just that I paid attention to the tastes of my masters, so your Majesty thinks it tastes good."
After hearing my reply, his eyes flashed again, and he returned to normal instantly. It was the same as that time in the Changchun Garden. It was so fast that I couldn't believe my eyes.
He didn't believe that people could be resurrected from the dead. Could it be... Thinking of this, the frustration in his heart got worse little by little. He couldn't believe that Ruoxi was not dead, after all, he had not seen Ruoxi's body.
Corpse. Since he doesn't believe that people can be resurrected from the dead, he certainly doesn't believe that I am Ruoxi. My appearance only gave him a glimmer of hope.
Feeling gloomy in his heart, he kept wondering, did he really believe that Ruoxi was not dead? Of course, to be precise, Ruoxi was not dead either, she just had another face.
While worrying about myself, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Although I didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore; even though I knew that they would not die at this time; I also knew that I couldn't do anything to help at this time, but my heart still couldn't help but clench together.
group.
After the eight kings discussed the affairs, perhaps Yinzhen felt that the overall situation had been decided, so he summoned the civil and military ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasties to deliver an edict, declaring that "Prince Lian Yunshu has become extremely rebellious. If I continue to be forbearing, I cannot look up to the spirit of Emperor Sheng Zuren in heaven."
Then he listed all his evil deeds during the Kangxi years, and how he tolerated him and entrusted him with important responsibilities after he came to the throne. How he was dissatisfied, complained and slandered, and made various actions that violated the imperial power, and finally announced, "Yinhu"
Since he has cut himself off from heaven, cut off his ancestors, and cut himself off from me, how can the family name tolerate such an unfaithful, unfilial, and treacherous person? He was ordered to be removed from the yellow belt, expelled from the clan, and his fellow party members Yin Zhen and Su
Nu and Wu Erzhan were also expelled from the clan.
While the power of Ba Ye's army was weakened, Longkodo Xu also wanted to leave his own retreat and offered to resign as infantry commander. Not only did Yinzhen immediately agree, he also promoted Gong Tailai, who was not close to Longkodo, to take over the position.
Position.
In early spring, the trees and flowers in the garden sprouted new buds and bloomed. The trees and flowers, rockery gables, small bridges and flowing water set off each other beautifully.
On a lightly rainy morning, I looked up at the somewhat misty sky, feeling a little joyful in my heart. I walked slowly through it, feeling the beauty and romance of the 'light rain, slender wind and gentle breeze'.
In the past two months, as Yinzhen ate in the pavilion more and more often, my mood became much brighter from the previous heaviness. God is still favoring me. If not, what if I came back to a completely unfamiliar place this time?
Due to the circumstances, it is possible that I will neither be able to see him nor return to the future for the rest of my life. If that is the case, life would be worse than death. No matter what, I am still with him after all.
Thinking of this, I let out a long breath, raised my head slightly, closed my eyes and stretched out my arms, standing quietly, silently enjoying the caress of the drizzle, feeling cool and moist on my face.
Comfortable.
Someone seemed to be snorting softly in my ears, and I was a little startled. How could there be anyone here at this moment? It is the morning period, and the maids and eunuchs on duty are all busy serving the masters. Those who are not on duty should not be here at this moment.
Appeared here. Even so, he hurriedly put down his arms and opened his eyes. Opposite him, the third elder brother Hongshi was holding a bamboo umbrella and looking at me with disdain. When he saw me opening my eyes, he mocked: "What a lazy person.
's slave.
I was short and blessed: "I'm not on duty today, so I can't say the word 'lazy'." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt a trace of regret in my heart. Why should I show off my quickness in front of him? But the words were gone.
Even if he spoke, there was no way he could take it back, so he had to stand silently, feeling a little uneasy for a moment.
After listening to my words, he stood silently for a while, his face turned a few times, and finally he threw away the umbrella in his hand and walked quickly towards me. I was shocked and took a few steps back unconsciously.
He walked up to me and glared at me: "You are a slave who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth." Poor people must be hateful. This is true. In the past, whenever it was said in the book, Yongzheng wanted to give Hongli a favor.
Clear the obstacles and imprison his other son until death. Although he likes the emperor Yongzheng, he still disagrees with this approach in his heart. He thinks that there are other ways to do it and that this is not the only way. Now it seems that no matter the specific
What is the reason? But Yinzhen must have done this because he couldn't bear it anymore.
Thinking of this, my heart actually calmed down. I smiled lightly at him and said, "The Emperor will go to court soon. If Third Brother has no other instructions, I will leave."
After saying that, I waited in silence for a while. Seeing that he didn't speak, I quickly turned around and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall. His angrily voice came from behind me: "Brother Ben, let you go."
My heart skipped a beat, my steps stagnated, and I stopped in place, suddenly feeling a chill on my body. Based on my current understanding of him, I can't escape the pain of my skin and flesh.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the hair on my forehead was wet and stuck to my face. I stood motionless. Hongshi, who had walked up quickly, pinched my chin hard, raised my face high, and stared at me.
I asked bitterly: "Who gave you such courage, the thirteenth uncle, the fourth elder brother, or my emperor?"
There was something in his words, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, and wanted to break away from his hand, but then I thought that doing so would just add fuel to his anger, so I endured the pain and quietly waited for his next words.
He increased the strength of his hands and continued: "Why are you helping Brother Si? Why?"
Seeing that I neither answered nor struggled, he suddenly let go of his hand. The force was too great, and I staggered and fell to the ground. I slowly got up, stood up, and still said to him: "Slave.
Excuse me." The moment I turned around, I couldn't help but shed tears. It really hurt.
As soon as I walked into the pavilion, Juxiang under the corridor started yelling. When I walked into the room, she followed me and kept asking, "What's wrong with your face?" Until I said n times that the road was slippery and I accidentally fell,
She just stopped talking, and I told her carefully not to talk nonsense. When she nodded in agreement, I asked Gao Wuyong to ask for leave.
Seeing her walking away, I sighed secretly. This Juxiang still hasn't suffered or learned a lesson. You must know that the palace is intricately connected and extremely dangerous. This is the most unacceptable thing for someone with a simple mind.
Soaking in the tub, stroking the magnolia pendant around his neck, straightening out his thoughts, he meditated on what Hongshi said.
These days, Hongli has indeed been coming here to eat with Yinzhen. Hongshi knew that everyone in the harem should also know that Yinzhen often eats in the pavilion. It seems that in the future, he must follow the rules and be careful with his words and actions. Although there was no such thing during the Yongzheng period,
Nine kings compete for the heir, but no one in the palace lives for power and interests. Where there is power, there will be fighting, and when there is fighting, there will be suspicion. In this special environment, where there is suspicion, there will be life and death. Although I am Prince Ziyi
He came to the government, but it shouldn't be difficult for someone to find a reason and convict him of an unfounded crime.
After that day, I kept hiding in the room and refused to go out. Cheng Huan came and made trouble a few times. When she saw that my chin was bruised, she didn’t ask to take her out. When she came, she just sang in the room and stayed in the room.
Gao Wuyong also punished Xiao Shunzi from Qinzheng Palace and brought medicine for his wounds. When he came, he met Hongli who also came to deliver medicine. Seeing that it was the same as what Xiao Shunzi had given, he wanted to take it back with a stern expression. I smiled.
I took it back. It took more than ten days for the bruise on my chin to disappear.
On this day, I was on duty for the first day after recovering from my injury, and Yinzhen was the only one in the Qinzheng Hall to review the memorial.
I served the tea and was walking out when he suddenly asked behind me: "You are completely healed?" I was startled and turned to look at him. He didn't even raise his head and wrote as he wrote: "I want to ask you if you are completely healed.
I felt warm in my heart and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about me. I'm fine now."
He nodded and said no more. I couldn't help it, I pursed my lips and smiled, and walked out briskly.
Just as I was about to enter the side hall tea room, I saw Gao Wuyong leading a little palace maid from a distance. I quickly turned around and walked to the front and said, "Xiaowen, thank you Shuida for delivering the medicine."
Gao Wuyong glanced at me hurriedly and said: "That's good." After that, he walked straight to the main hall without stopping. I was stunned. Gao Wuyong has always been cautious and meticulous in his work. He is an unyielding master. How could he do it today?
So panicked, he turned around and looked at their backs.
Walking too fast, the little palace maid behind stumbled and almost fell. Gao Wuyong hurriedly turned around to help her. Gao Wuyong actually helped a palace maid, and he was even more surprised. He looked at her carefully. This palace maid..., she
Her back looked too much like a person's, wasn't she already dead? She was shocked in her heart, and there was a thunderclap above her head, her head was buzzing, and scenes from the past suddenly appeared in her mind.
I wanted to bring tea inside again and find out what was going on, but Gao Wuyong blocked the door and said there was no need to serve tea anymore, and dismissed everyone.
The sky was getting dark, and although I knew it was inappropriate, I still stood behind the tree and looked towards the direction of the main hall. It had been about an hour, and no one had come in or out. My legs were sore from standing, but I still refused to give up leaning on the tree.
Finally, Gao Wuyong led her out. Her head was hanging slightly, and there seemed to be tears on her face. I was anxious and couldn't see her face clearly.
She raised her head, as if asking Gao Wuyong something, and Gao Wuyong nodded as he spoke.
It was indeed Lu Wu. I grabbed the tree trunk with both hands and suppressed the urge to rush out. Didn't he say that Lu Wu was dead? Suddenly I hated him. If I did this to protect Shi San, but to Shi San
For Lu Wu, this is such a cruel thing.
Watching their figures gradually disappear, he turned around and leaned weakly against the tree. This is the palace. People's life and death are not decided by themselves. A living person may be a dead body the next moment, and a person you think is dead
People may appear in front of you alive in the next moment.
Slowly sitting on the ground, covering his head with his hands and burying it in his knees.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I felt that the light in the forest was getting stronger. I looked up and saw that a bright moon was already hanging in the night sky. The green leaves swaying in the wind seemed to be covered with a layer of silver powder in the moonlight. It was really beautiful.
.It's a pity that although the moon is full, so bright and full, the people who should be reunited are...
After sitting in silence for a while, he let out a long sigh and stood up. He walked around the tree behind him and saw a person standing in front of him. He was slightly startled, but when he saw the person clearly, he felt a little annoyed.
He stood behind a tree, his whole body surrounded by darkness, and the expression on his face could not be clearly seen. After standing for a while, seeing that he was still speechless, I walked out.
But he suddenly asked: "Have you always been here?" I stopped and without looking back, said: "What is the emperor worried about?" He seemed to sigh lightly, and continued to ask: "Why do you always sigh?" I
He replied with a wry smile: "Is this slave lamenting that the moon is full and people are not round?" After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "A person and a moon being round are indeed a luxury wish for some people."
I was startled and murmured: "God intends, but people are ruthless. It's hard to get together if we are so close." I was talking about both Luwu and myself. He didn't speak anymore, turned around and walked past me, heading towards Lin Waixing. I
Mo followed him and walked towards Zhenxi Pavilion one after another. The two of them were silent along the way.
