Chapter 11 Rumors spread in the harem of the abolished prince, to protect the future 4 secretly seek

Chapter 11

No one thought that it was only two years since the crown prince Yinreng was abolished and re-established in the 48th year of Kangxi, that rumors of the prince being abolished quietly spread in the palace.

The first to reach the ears of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the fourteenth elder brother Yinti's biological mother, Concubine De.

Concubine De had nothing to do in the afternoon this day, playing with the orchids she kept in Yonghe Palace.The maid Qiuchan hurried in and accidentally knocked over the vase on the ground, and the fragments scattered all over the ground with a "bang", which scared the little girl who was dozing beside her into a shiver.

Concubine De glanced at her, continued to move her hands, and said coldly: "You are not a little maid who just entered the palace, why are you still so careless?"

Qiuchan waved her hand and winked at Concubine De.

Concubine De suddenly understood what was going on, and said: "You all step back first, it's fine for Qiuchan to serve here."

When there was no one around, Qiuchan finally said: "Your Majesty, I have a fellow from my hometown who works as an errand in Qianqing Palace. I heard from him that Lord Long Live is very angry today."

Concubine De raised her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, then stretched out her hand to Qiu Chan, and said: "Look, what about Ben Gong's hands?"

Qiuchan laughed immediately: "Your Majesty, these hands are naturally delicate, smooth, delicate and soft."

Concubine De smiled and said: "You slave can speak, but I know in my heart that since ancient times, a beauty is like a good general, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair. My hands are rough, not as good as before."

Qiuchan didn't understand the deep meaning in Concubine De's words, and asked, "What does your empress mean?"

Concubine De lazily walked to the back room, gently stroking the cold walls of Yonghe Palace.She turned her head, smiled suddenly, and said to Qiuchan: "When you get old, your color will fade, and if your color fades, you will fall in love. This Yonghe Palace, the emperor doesn't know how many times a year. It is not popular at all. Even the walls are full of beauty." It's cold. Does this palace want to learn from those newly entered concubines to try to compete for favor?"

"My lady, you can't say that. You forgot, you still have the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. Qiuchan said that the anger of the Long Live Lord is also related to this." Qiuchan knew that Concubine De might have misunderstood her. Intention, hurriedly explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine De's expression changed and she became serious.

"Returning to your empress, the slave's fellow countryman in Qianqing Palace is Eunuch Gui who is serving the emperor. He said that the emperor suddenly became angry after reading a few scriptures today. Although Eunuch Gui is illiterate, but listening to the emperor's words, he seems to be with the prince. Related." Qiu Chan said very cautiously.

"Boldly discussing the state affairs, how many heads do you have on your neck?" Concubine De shouted sharply.

Qiuchan heard Concubine De say this, and hurriedly knelt down: "I'm a talkative servant, please forgive me."

"Okay, I think you are also loyal, and I will not pursue it. You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future, and you are not allowed to mention it to outsiders, you know?" Concubine De raised her airs, and Qiuchan was frightened by her majestic appearance. kowtow.

"The slave knows his mistakes, and the slave will never talk nonsense again."

Concubine De sighed, helped Qiuchan up, and said softly: "That's right, Fourteen never comes to Yonghe Palace, I think it's strange that I miss him."

Qiuchan has been by Concubine De's side for decades, and is used to looking at people, so she hastily answered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will call the Fourteenth Master into the palace for your Majesty."

At this time, Yinti was worried about the eighth elder brother. He heard the news that Concubine De was not in good health recently, and he was always thinking about him. He was also a filial child, so he entered the palace overnight.

Although it was late at night, Yonghe Palace was still brightly lit.Concubine De ordered someone to prepare meals, and sat quietly waiting for Yinti's arrival.

As soon as Yinti entered the door, he saw Concubine De's loving face.

Concubine De has not seen Yinti for a long time, when she first saw him, she was stunned for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Fourteen, you are here."

Yinyu said guiltily: "I'm busy with some things today, I haven't come to say hello to Emiang for a long time, it's because I'm not filial."

"Have you been with Eighth Brother all the time?" Concubine De suddenly asked.

Yinti took a look at Qiuchan and the maidservants and eunuchs around them, seeing that Yinti had something to say to Concubine De, they all withdrew.

Yinti said in a low voice: "Brother Ba is kind-hearted and reliable. He just lost his mother recently and is in a bad mood, so the children go to his house more often."

Concubine De shook her head, with a look of hating iron but not steel, she said earnestly: "Fourteen, with your ability, to be a counselor for that eighth elder brother is really overkill."

Yinti smiled heartily: "What kind of counselors are not counselors, the prince is still here now, no matter how much we rummage, we will not be able to make any splashes."

Concubine De suddenly became impatient, and blurted out: "You are really a child, do you know—"

She stood up again and looked around carefully, and continued softly: "Emiang, I heard that your Huang Ama has recently become angry again because of the prince's arrogant and domineering things. It seems that the prince's position is not so indestructible." .”

"Thank you, Er Niang, for your reminder, this is our chance." Yinti couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Hey, Fourteen, how much attention do you have to pay attention to, the eighth elder brother offended your Huang Ama earlier, you--" Concubine De was still chattering.

"Okay, okay, Er Niang, don't worry about the baby, the baby has his own sense of propriety." Yinqi said and trotted all the way, left the palace, and went to the eighth prince's mansion overnight.

Seeing Yinti's visit in the middle of the night, Yinsi knew that there must be something important to discuss, so he hurriedly welcomed him in.

As soon as Yinti saw Yinsi, he immediately told the whole story about the crown prince's disobedience.

"It's really God helping me. The funeral of my mother-in-law made Huang Ama look at me again, and now the second brother is making troubles at this juncture. It seems that everything is ready. It's only due to the east wind. As long as we add more Get the firewood, great things can be expected." Yin Si spoke impassionedly, spitting all over the place.

"This east wind is the support of the court ministers and the approval of the clan and royal family." Yinti continued.

"That's right, it's time for us to learn from Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and join forces." Yin Si said with high spirits.

"Not yet, myna, it's inconvenient for you to come forward. You know me. It's my strength to go out and lead troops to fight, but I really can't do these things of dredging joints and lobbying in all directions." Yinqi took the table Drank the glass of wine on the table.

"Fourteenth brother, I don't need to come forward in this matter, and I don't need to embarrass you. I have already found a good helper for you." Yinsi smiled happily.

"Oh? The starling said—"

"Lao Jiu Yinzhen is eloquent and eloquent, and he has made many friends in the court and China, so he is the perfect candidate."

"But Lao Jiu used to talk about the benefits of Lao Si, I don't know if it can be trusted."

"Fourteenth brother, don't worry, I have my own way to make him bow to us."

Yinzhen's recent troubles can be said to be one after another. The vicissitudes in the palace have already made him unable to do what he wants, and the matter of Nian Gengyao and Nian Wanzhen, who is about to pass the door, makes him toss and turn.

"Father-"

Yinzhen was sitting in the study frowning and closing his eyes to rest, when the spies he sent suddenly came to report.

"What's the matter?" Yinzhen asked impatiently.

"If you want to return to the Lord, the Empress Concubine De has a family banquet in Yonghe Palace today, and the Fourteenth Lord has gone." The spies said with fear.

"Hmph, what's so strange about this, it's not the first time, even if you invite me to go, I may not be able to go." Yinzhen had a wry smile on his face.

"It's not about this. It's because the Fourteenth Master came out of the Yonghe Palace and hurried to the Eighth Master's residence." The spy said very cautiously.

"What? This is a strange thing. It seems that Er Niang must have told him something important, and this important event is probably related to the prince." Yin Zhen had already guessed very closely.

"What does the prince mean?"

"Stand still. You continue to investigate and report back in time if you have anything."

"Yes."

Although Yinzhen's face was as calm as usual, his heart was already intertwined with thousands of threads, intertwined into a large intricate net, trapping him in the center of the net, unable to move.In fact, the actions of the eighth and the fourteenth were expected. The prince was originally a guy with little knowledge, great ambitions, and few talents. Even if he was deposed again, it would be understandable.

But Yinzhen didn't know why, but felt that he had fallen into a boundless loneliness and confusion, as if he was in the wilderness and desert, and the sky was so bewildered by the wind and sand that he couldn't open his eyes. When he turned his head, he didn't know where he was. The unknown and the unknown of the future.

In fact, he could discuss it with Yinxiang. In the past, when he encountered such things, he always consulted Yinxiang.But this time, after he ran into Nian Gengyao on the street, he felt for the first time that the only person he could discuss with was Nian Gengyao.

But the three words of Nian Gengyao have already become an "obstacle" in his heart, and they are also the source of all his worries these days.

After much deliberation, Yinzhen still decided that no matter what, he would meet Nian Gengyao again.The wedding date is getting closer, maybe, this side will be their last side.

"Come on, Bei Mo—"

Nian Gengyao was reading a book about Sichuan's customs and people's livelihood by the dim candlelight, when he heard a servant outside say: "Master, someone sent you a letter."

"Who delivered the letter so late?" Nian Gengyao's heart suddenly beat violently. ,

"It's a man named Yin Si." The servant said.

"Bring it in!"

Nian Gengyao held the letter with both hands, stroked the words "Shuangfeng kisses" on it, and smiled foolishly: "I knew it, you will definitely come to me."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much. Brother knows that you are busy with business, and it is rare to go back to the capital for a short stay. Tomorrow noon, we will meet at Yunlai Tea House in the south of the city. Whether you will attend the appointment or not is entirely up to Shuangfeng."

After Nian Gengyao finished reading these lines, he felt that Yin Si was mysterious and unpredictable, and also felt that he was trying to test him, so he slapped the letter paper on the table with a flick of his hand, and said, "Let me decide." ? Of course we have to go.”
