Chapter 21 Chapter 19 Fulin and Eighth Brother Have the Same Life

Huchang's shrill cry spread into the harem, awakening many sleepless royal families. They are the most noble figures in the Qing Dynasty, standing above all the people and at the top of the power, but suffering from the torment of life and death, they are powerless. Huang Taiji can destroy dozens of lives in the two palaces with a single word, and he can also launch a war at will to poison the common people, but he has no ability to decide the life and death of his son, and he cannot keep his most cherished and precious life in this world flesh and blood. He hugged Hai Lanzhu, the mother of his son, but two sad people couldn't share the pain by hugging each other.Hai Lanzhu hadn't said a word since her son's death. Her face was haggard and gloomy, like a flower that was drained of water and was about to wither.The sudden and tragic death of her son exhausted her mind in an instant. She had exhausted all her willpower to refuse to believe in this tragic event, but in the end she was powerless. It all happened so cruelly and hastily that she could not avoid it.When the son struggled fiercely, he twitched and closed his eyes in her arms, and breathed out the last breath, and the mother's vitality disappeared. No sound, no color.

Her heart was broken into pieces, and what was recorded on each piece was still her son's miserable cry. Huang Taiji's heart was also broken. He held Aifei's hand, not knowing how to comfort this desperate mother.As the Son of Heaven, he didn't understand why the more he loved, the more he couldn't keep him. Time and time again, he watched his own flesh and blood fall apart and was powerless. At this moment, is this weak and desperate woman in her arms, this mother who lost her dear flesh and blood, is it Hai Lanzhu or Qi Lei?Huang Taiji felt in a trance, did he lose his beloved every time he fell in love with him?Is it because I only live together on the battlefield and have no blessing to enjoy warmth?Is it because his sins are so serious that he needs to be washed away with his son's blood?

The night was bitterly cold, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice on the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his beloved concubine, but they were as plain as ice, without the slightest brilliance of dragon and phoenix, but as sad and mournful as a pair of desperate mandarin ducks. At the same time, in the Yongfu Palace, which is close to each other, another big drama in life is being staged in a very dramatic way-Concubine Zhuang is about to give birth. Concubine Zhuang's fetal movement started at noon, when the first strangled soul on the field ascended to heaven, and from the very beginning, it was fierce and painful.Liandong hurriedly recruited the midwife, seeing this, she was also shocked, and hurriedly called: "Don't you hurry up and lay the kang?"

It turns out that according to Manchu rules, when a mother gives birth, a thick layer of grass should be spread on the kang, which is called "falling grass".Four days after the child was born, the grass was buried for good luck and safety. For a while, the maids brought in the sun-dried grass and asked the empress to get off the kang.Da Yu'er didn't have the strength to move, she straightened her body, her face was pale and her eyes protruded.Liandong was so frightened that she cried and persuaded her, together with three or four maids, she supported the empress, the midwife laid out the grass, repeatedly asked Concubine Zhuang to lie still, then gently rubbed her hands on her abdomen, holding her tightly. Ask: "What do you think the empress is doing now? Shout out as much as you want, don't hold back."

Concubine Zhuang stared, her head was covered with sweat, she wanted to say something but couldn't, the child kicked her in the stomach, she didn't know whether she wanted to come out too much or didn't want to come out.It was as if two forces existed in her body at the same time, pulling the child in two directions.After staring for a long while, Fang shouted at the top of his voice: "His Majesty, save me!" Then he shouted again and again, unable to stop.She screamed, groaned, rolled over, struggled, and she, who never believed in imperial physicians, showed her unprecedented weakness, crying: "Emperor physician, save me!" After a pause, she shouted again: "Your Majesty, save me! "

The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, his power can shake the world and weep ghosts and gods, but at the moment he is inexplicably sad for the death of another son, and he can't take care of himself. How can he care about Concubine Zhuang and her unborn fetus who are wandering between life and death?The imperial doctors were sweating profusely and were at a loss.Concubine Zhuang is not the first child, she is usually physically strong, so she shouldn't suffer like this.However, based on the number of days, the fetus was clearly born prematurely. Although the fetal sound was strong and the pregnancy reaction was normal, it was premature after all, and with such a strong seizure, judging by Concubine Zhuang's situation, it was actually a dystocia.

They rushed to Qingning Palace to report the news, and Zhezhe came tremblingly supported by Yingchun, wiping away his tears: "How good is this? Something just happened over there, and it's happening here again, it's really a crime. .how is this good?" Yingchun hurriedly comforted: "My lady, don't panic, having a baby is a happy event, what can I do? There are so many imperial doctors here, nothing will happen. You just wait to hold the little elder brother. The few days in the palace The world is restless, and it’s time for some happy event to come.” Liandong also echoed: “Don’t worry, empress, sister Yingchun is right. Our empress is blessed and honorable, and we will give birth safely and smoothly. There are too many people here, and the greetings are poor, so please don't disturb the empress, please go back to the palace to rest first, we will report the situation here at any time."

Zhe Zhe was right after hearing this, and he himself has been sick lately, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Concubine Zhuang making a fuss for a long time, she fell asleep dimly at this time, so she nodded first, and told Lian Dong to report anything at any time, and ordered someone to Go to Guan Sui Palace to deliver a letter to the emperor. However, Zhe Zhe just walked away, but Concubine Zhuang woke up from the pain again, and screamed again.When the midwife looked at it, the amniotic fluid had broken, but there was still no sign of labor, and they all panicked again, thinking to themselves: "Could it be that the child was reborn? Or is it a stillborn baby?" What's more, the ignorant eunuchs and maids discussed in private, Afraid said: "Killing people in the front yard and giving birth in the backyard, this yin and yang are mutually conflicting, I am afraid that the yin is flourishing and the yang is declining, and the yang is not equal to the yin. It can't be those evil spirits who are haunting the empress and the little elder brother? The empress and the child see this situation. It's bad luck."

Strange to say, although more than a dozen people in the two palaces were strangled to death without seeing the light of the knife, but when they were executed, a cloud of blood rose to the sky, and the circle would not go away.After nightfall, it was very clear, like a burst of bloody red halo, covering Yongfu Palace, against the strong and weak and heart-piercing screams of Concubine Zhuang, it was particularly permeating.As a result, the saying that the wronged soul is killing his life spread like wildfire, and nine out of ten people believed it.The little girls have never experienced anything, and when they heard this statement, there was no reason not to talk about it, and they all spread it as if it was a big event.

Unexpectedly, Liandong heard it, cursed and threatened: "If you tell me to hear this again, report it to the empress empress immediately, beat me up and drive you out of the palace!" As he said that, he wanted to come to Qingning Palace, he was so scared and talkative The little girl knelt on the ground and begged with tears all over her face: "I beg my sister to forgive me this time, I don't dare to do it again, my sister will report to the empress, how can I survive!" Liandong said: "I have something to report, and it has nothing to do with you." The little girl couldn't believe it, she just hugged her legs and cried and begged.Liandong said angrily: "If you don't let go, I will ask someone to drive you out now." The little girl was so frightened that she let go, and cried again.

Liandong also had no intention of arguing with her, so he hurried to Qingning Palace, met Zhe Zhe, knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, don't blame Liandong for talking too much. It’s good to ask God to appease you when you come to perform rituals. The situation of our mother is actually not good.” As he spoke, he began to sob, but he didn’t dare to cry, so he just covered his mouth with a silk cloth.There was still an unspeakable thing in her mind, that is, she knew that Chai'er and Xiao Fuzi died strangely.That day in the back garden, she saw that the empress broke Chai'er's adulterous affair, but she didn't get angry, so she just asked her to come quietly to Yongfu Palace at night.The two closed the door to talk, and even Lian Dong didn't call in.A few days later, something happened in Guan Sui Palace, it was said that someone had poisoned the eighth elder brother's wet nurse's bodice, before the trial, both Chai'er and Fuzi died again.Now that I think of these things, it seems that they are all related.Many innocent people died in succession for this matter, and their unjust souls haunted Yongfu Palace for a reason. However, these doubts can only be stuffed in my heart, not only dare not speak, but also dare not think deeply.At that moment, Liandong only knelt down and kowtowed to Zhe Zhe, begging: "Since the execution at noon, our empress has been in trouble, and it has been a few hours now. I didn't feel it in broad daylight, but now it's dark, and the palace roof It was actually surrounded by a cloud of light. Everyone in the palace said that the grievances were lingering, and that the yin was flourishing and the yang was declining. There is no one to blame. At this time, who is not afraid in his heart, why is he not suspicious? If the queen does not believe it, go and see it for yourself Just know." Zhe Zhe hesitated when he heard the words: "There is some truth in what you said, but the emperor is sad, and he always hates these strange and chaotic things. The palace is in chaos now, but he invites a group of people to come in and pretend to be ghosts. It is hard to guarantee that the emperor will be disturbed." do not like." Liandong kowtowed and said: "I entrusted Eunuch Lu to report to Guan Sui Palace several times, but the emperor never said a word. Are we just watching the empress suffer for nothing like this? Poor our empress is now ignorant of human affairs, so she can't speak for herself. The slave is bold , I beg the empress to make the decision. Don’t we know that it is a capital offense to make a claim without authorization, so we have to run for our lives with courage.” Zhe Zhe is a person who has no decisions, ears are soft, and his mind is slow. After much deliberation, he can't come up with any good solution. Besides, she saw the red light on the top of Yongfu Palace with her own eyes. She was not afraid, so she had to say : "Bold slave! Just because of your resentment in these few words, I can immediately order someone to take you and punish you for a crime of treason and injustice. It's just because of your loyalty to the master, and please forgive your urgency." No words, no words. You go first, and I will ask someone to invite a group of monks to recite the peace scriptures. An Yi'an, everyone's heart is good, but don't be too ostentatious." Say let go, maid, please come in Lu Lianke came to discuss and advise, and also asked Yingchun to go to Yongfu Palace to deliver a message. If he heard anyone talking nonsense again, he would immediately tie him up and send him to the guard room to wait for his release. Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the news, they knew it was not a threat, more than a dozen people had just died in the two palaces, so they were afraid of adding another Yongfu Palace.Therefore, they all kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak out. The night fell inch by inch, the Yongfu Palace was brightly lit, and the sound of footsteps was chaotic.People came in and out, but they only heard about their clothes, but they didn't say a word. All of them looked dignified and depressed, and they didn't know whether Concubine Zhuang could survive tonight. Where will we go. Zhuang Concubine's breathing was tight and slow, the pain was sparse and dense, and the spirituality was vague, but she couldn't hold it in vain, floating and swaying in the wind, and the monks chanted the scriptures one after another. Can't tie it.She drifted across the court, across the grasslands, and through the dreamlike career of Concubine Zhuang, all the way back to her girlhood. That year, she was twelve years old. In the wilderness and sky, the cavalry to see off relatives is mighty. 12-year-old Da Yuer refused to sit in a sedan chair, but rode on a tall horse, surrounded by everyone, and came to Liaoyang. From one tribe to another, from a girl to a As an adult, she went from her father's apple to a strange man's tent, and became one of the Belle concubines. Walking at sunrise and resting at sunset, the vast prairie seems to have no end. That night, she couldn't sleep all night, not knowing what kind of fate would greet her after dawn. The horse team rested, and she sat outside the tent with her knees crossed, looking at the far sky, the end of the grassland.The morning light is faint, and after a while, the sun will rise from there.Will the sun rise? Da Yuer waited. The little girl who grew up on horseback had greeted countless sunrises and sunsets, but this time, she was waiting, praying, and waiting for the sun to rise with unprecedented piety. She waited, this waiting was so pious and eager, long and blind, as if there was no end... "Ah—" The pain awakened Concubine Zhuang's dream, and also interrupted the boy Da Yuer's waiting for the sunrise.She screamed hoarsely, the scream was shrill and vague, and the waiters had to work hard to understand that the empress was calling for the emperor. "Your Majesty, is the Emperor here?" Da Yu'er tightly twisted the two corners of the quilt that Wen Po had stuffed for her with both hands, her face was as white as paper, and she was sweating profusely. She scratched her neck and asked, "Where is your Majesty? Where is your Majesty?" Where? I want to see the emperor—” "The emperor is waiting outside. Men are not allowed to enter the delivery room. This is the rule of the elders." Wen Po lied to her and pitied her. What about being a concubine? No. The imperial physicians hurriedly came to check the pulse again, but Liandong ran out crying, she was going to see the emperor, begging the emperor, if the empress was going tonight, at least she should see the emperor before she left! But the people of Guan Sui Palace guarded the palace gate and were not allowed to enter.The eighth elder brother died, the nanny died, Duo'er died, and everyone who served in Guan Sui Palace died.Overnight, Guan Sui Palace has completely changed its appearance. Although the water in the rockery is still there, and the ancient plum blossoms are still there, the trees are no longer green, the flowers are no longer fragrant, and the people are no longer laughing.Today's Guan Sui Palace is shrouded in a gloomy mist, with white lanterns hanging everywhere, with a ghostly aura, and even the guards guarding the gate are like unpopular clay puppets, cold and stiff, no matter how much Yingchun cries and begs, there is only One sentence: "The emperor has a decree, no one will be seen!" It's messed up, it's all messed up.Is this still a harem?There is no one Liandong knows here, no maids, not even eunuchs, and some are guards with weapons.Men are not allowed to enter the harem, and the guards in front of the gate of Guan Sui Palace are clearly guards with swords walking in front of the imperial court. Why did they enter the inner palace? How could they stop the maids around Concubine Zhuang? How dare?With the death of an eighth elder brother, is it possible that there is no order in the harem?Concubine Zhuang has been with the emperor for ten years, and now at the moment of her life and death, she can't even fulfill her wish to see each other. Could it be that there is no place for a little human touch in this palace that has everything? Ren Dong knelt in front of the gate of Guan Sui Palace, fell to the ground and burst into tears. The red light is spreading, and the sun is about to rise! Da Yu'er thought deeply, the emperor is waiting outside, waiting, the sun is about to rise, the sun will come out, it will come out soon. She let go, fell asleep again while waiting, and continued her waiting for another round in her sleep. The sun, the sun will rise.Twelve-year-old Yugege was sitting outside the tent, seeming to just take a nap, when he looked up again, on the horizon, at the end of the grassland, the sun peeked out half of his face. Little Gege jumped up, dumbfounded, and waited with bated breath. The bright red, fat-like, rising sun, with edges and corners, was about to drip, bit by bit, poked out, poked out, and slammed , jumping in the air—— "The sun is out!" Little Gege shouted joyfully, pulled off the horse rope, leaped and whipped the horse, and ran towards the place where the sun rose. When the rising sun shone on her, it was full of colors and rays of light. "The sun! The sun!" Concubine Zhuang murmured. "It's born! It's born!" Granny Wen yelled happily, and the sound of the good news filled the room instantly, "It's a brother! It's a brother!" "Congratulations, you're an elder brother!" Wen Po cut off the umbilical cord with gold scissors, neatly wrapped her hands and feet, and carried her to Concubine Zhuang. However, Concubine Zhuang's eyes only opened and closed slightly, and she whispered: "The sun is out! Did you see it?" She tilted her head and passed out again. Wen Po was baffled, but she knew how to play it by ear, and immediately said loudly in a more joyful voice: "It's a brother! The empress said that she saw the sun! It's the sun that has set in Yongfu Palace! It's a sign of great joy! We all saw it! It was the sun!" All the imperial physicians worked tirelessly from noon till night, and now that the work is finally done and the mother and child are safe, they became extremely excited and echoed: "Yes, we all saw that the sun has descended on our Yongfu Palace, my little elder brother will be blessed and honored in the future." It must be a dragon and a tiger!" Yongfu Palace hung up the red light for a while, and went to each palace to announce the good news. Everyone thought that this hard work would be rewarded, and they were all beaming with joy. Regardless of their hard work, they all walked lightly. Lian Dong was kneeling in front of Guan Sui Palace crying heartbroken, when she heard a baby's cry piercing the night sky, she couldn't help being shocked, thinking: What a loud cry!He got up and ran back, but bumped into the maid who came to report the letter, hurriedly stopped him and asked, "How is your majesty?" "It's an elder brother!" The little girl smiled happily, "We are reporting to the palaces. The empress has already arrived. Order me to come and invite the emperor. My sister should go back quickly." Liandong was overjoyed, turned her head and spat at the guards: "Concubine Zhuang has given birth to an elder brother, why don't you report it? You are a dog!" He ran back with the little maid. The guards were so angry that they rolled their eyes, but they didn't dare to be negligent, so they ran into Guan Sui Palace to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace gave birth to a dragon son!" However, Huang Taiji didn't seem to hear it, or he didn't know the true meaning of the eunuch's words. He still maintained the same posture and sat silently in front of the small coffin of the eighth prince with his arms around Hai Lanzhu, turning a deaf ear to the guards' words. The guard had no choice but to kowtow and report again: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang has got a dragon son. The empress is already waiting in Yongfu Palace, please go over and have a look." Only then did Huang Taiji raise his eyes, waved his hand slightly, and said calmly: "Understood, let's go." The little elder brother's loud cry was earth-shattering, and he was wrapped in a small brocade quilt. Although he was just born and was a "premature" baby, he already had a ring of lanugo, his face was plump and red, and wrinkled Tuan, with his mouth wide open, announced his birth to the whole world with a cry, as if to say: People, look, here I come! Zhe Zhe took the baby from the midwife, and said with a smile: "It's hard for such a small child to have such a loud voice. In the future, when he goes to the battlefield with his father, he doesn't need to raise a gun or shoot an arrow, just a lion's roar. Withdrew the enemy." The midwife took the afterbirth clothes to the room and buried them. Lonicera directed the crowd to tidy up the basin and towels, and hung a small bow and three small arrows on the sorghum at the head of the gate. , I wish the child will grow up to be a heroic Baturu in the future.Suddenly seeing Lu Lianke coming from a distance, he was overjoyed and hurriedly dragged him in to see Zhezhe. Lu Lianke bowed on his knees and congratulated Zhe Zhe.Zhe Zheyin asked: "Does the emperor know?" "understood." "What did the emperor say?" "Just say I know." "Just say you know? Did you say anything else?" "No more words." After hearing this, Zhezhe was surprised and sighed, speechless for a while.Lonicera and the others were like entering an ice cellar and a snow cave, forcing a group of joy, the palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, all at a loss, but they dared not complain.There was such a big happy event in Yongfu Palace, but the excitement was only for a few minutes, as if a stone was thrown into a lake, the ripples calmed down after a few laps. The people fell silent for a while, not knowing what to say, but hearing the loud cry of the baby, Wen Po woke up first, knelt down and asked, "Go back to your mother, the red eggs have been boiled and colored, so I will send them to the palaces." , or wait until dawn to deliver?" Lian Dong also turned around, and replied: "The firecrackers were prepared early in the morning, can they be fired now?" Zhe Zhe sighed, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "The rule of giving eggs is an old etiquette of Manchurians. It is unavoidable to pray for the little elder brother. The palaces have already woken up by this time, so let's send it away. It also makes everyone happy; as for firecrackers, the emperor ordered early in the morning that the sound of silk and bamboo is not allowed to be heard in the palace for three months, let alone firecrackers? Let's avoid it." The good news of Concubine Zhuang's birth spread throughout the palace in an instant. Some were happy, some were jealous, but Huang Taiji was only indifferent. The harem was originally a place of snobbery, for such an important event as the birth of Concubine Zhuang in Yongfu Palace, the emperor was in Guansui Palace which was very close, but he refused to take a few steps to have a look, not even a word of consolation or praise.His indifference, not to mention being on a par with the fanfare that Hai Lanzhu had when she gave birth to the eighth prince, was even worse than those concubines in the east and west palaces.How can the palace people not notice all kinds of things like this?There was a lot of discussion in private, "It's the same as giving birth to a son. How lively is it when Concubine Chen is giving birth? That's great, it's deserted, and there's not even a word." , let alone the emperor got an elder brother?" "Who dares? The one in Guan Sui Palace is sad, and the sound of silk and bamboo is not allowed to be heard in the palace for three months, and they set off firecrackers?" Concubine Zhuang didn't hear these words, but she could guess them.A son was born, but the emperor refused to even take a look at it. Yongfu Palace prepared firecrackers and lanterns early in the morning, but they didn't see them go off.Could it be that because of Hai Lanzhu's son's death, others are not allowed to have sons?Can't you be happy after giving birth to a son? The newborn baby cried hoarsely, with a loud voice, and everyone said, "Listen, this child's voice is like a trumpet."Da Yu'er opened her eyes, and the first time she regained her ability to speak, before her mind was really clear, the first thing she said was: "Bring Fu'er here." Fuer.Thus the newborn child had his baby name.He was carried in front of his mother, and was held tightly in his mother's arms.Da Yu'er looked at her newborn child and swore secretly: Son, don't cry, you are born, you have come to see your mother, you shine like the sun rising, what a wonderful thing this is.Why are you still crying?Are you resenting your father for not loving you?It doesn't matter.The little favors and favors in front of me are nothing, if we want him, we need his whole country, what is the embrace of the emperor, the golden chair in the Chongzheng Palace is your place!Child, I will definitely hold you, accompany you, and walk up to the golden palace, which represents the supreme honor. Son, you are here, you are here to take away your father's land, to seek justice for your mother, and to make an inexhaustible feat.Why do you cry?He should laugh, he should laugh with Er Niang, the last laugh, the best laugh! But now is not the time to celebrate achievements, to laugh without scruples, and to show all your thoughts on your face.After a day and night of life and death, Da Yuer woke up again and was already very sober, rational, loving and tolerant.Regarding the emperor's various cold receptions, she not only has no complaints, but often tells people: "I am the saddest sister when something like this happens to my sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given birth to Fu'er a whole month earlier. I am looking at the person who is still healthy and healthy, and is not sick or disabled. It is the eighth elder brother who is blessed by the spirit of the sky. I can’t go out during the confinement period, and I can’t visit my sister. If anyone of you can give me a word, please ask her to come and see. Her own nephew, as long as she sees the eighth elder brother, she can feel relieved. Fu'er was born prematurely, and she was still three days late, and she never saw the face of his eighth elder brother." She said sadly and wept. The people next to him hurriedly comforted: "Concubine Zhuang, don't be like this. People in confinement can't see tears, and the most difficult thing to mend is an injury. It's already premature. If you don't take good care of it, you will get sick when you sit down. At this time, if you only care about other people's peace of mind, why do you feel so sad yourself?" Concubine Zhuang wiped her tears again and said: "You ladies are right, but I thought in my heart that my elder sister was weak when she was a child. If I don't take care of myself, how can the emperor feel better? Although death cannot be resurrected, my elder sister She is still young, and she is taking care of herself, but after a year or so, it will be the same if she is reborn as an elder brother Gege. How can you hurt the people around you for the person who has gone?" Everyone became more and more grateful, and said: "After all, Concubine Zhuang is a educated person, and her thinking is more comprehensive and far-reaching than others." After saying it a few times, the words finally reached Huang Taiji's ears.Taizong felt guilty, so he left Guansui Palace and hurriedly visited Yongfu Palace.The nanny brought out Elder Brother, Huang Taiji just took a look in the nanny's arms, but didn't reach out to hug him, and his face didn't look the slightest. Da Yu'er secretly gnashed her teeth, but she didn't show her face at all, and said with an apologetic smile: "Although the emperor is sad, he must take care of himself. Although Fu'er was born a month early, fortunately, she is in good health, and she is still waiting for the emperor to name her." Huang Taiji said indifferently: "Didn't you already decide to be called Fu'er? It's up to you." Concubine Zhuang said: "This is just a baby name, called casually, the real name is still waiting for the emperor to come up with it." Huang Taiji said: "What's the hurry? Which elder brother didn't name it until he was a year old and had a ceremony. Even the eighth elder brother doesn't have a proper name yet." Speaking of this, thinking of the eighth elder brother who died I didn't have time to have a name, and I couldn't help but hurt my heart, and my voice choked up.It's too late to ask a few words, and then leave. Seeing that the palace people had spoken well, the emperor suddenly stood up and left, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed.Da Yuer was so angry that she was dizzy, but she could only endure it, and continued to speak: "Brother's name, I will choose it myself, and I will call it Fulin!" Regarding Fulin's birth, there are many magical theories circulating in the palace: Some people say that Concubine Zhuang gave birth prematurely because of fright and agitated fetal gas. The weakness of a premature baby shows that he was born a noble person, with the help of gods; some people also said that there was only three days between the birth of Fulin and the death of the eighth elder brother. In fact, it is a life, as evidenced by the red light on the roof of Yongfu Palace; others said that when Fulin was born, the roof of Yongfu Palace was full of rays of light, as if covered by the sun. When the elder brother grows up, he must be a great fortune, a noble man, and an extremely respectable minister. These kinds of arguments made Huang Taiji very impatient when he heard them.In his mind, no one can replace the dead Eighth Prince.Besides, even if Fulin can make up for the death of the eighth elder brother, who can make up for Hai Lanzhu's death? No matter how poor the imperial doctors were, they read thousands of volumes of books, and fed dozens of kilograms of ginseng soup and angelica, Hai Lanzhu was still getting thinner and shriveled day by day. Huang Taiji was so anxious that he jumped and scolded people every day. It would be better to disband the Tai Hospital and change it to a death row. Fu Yinzu knelt and kowtowed three times a day, saying that he was a guilty minister, and that he was incompetent and deserved to die.Huang Taiji was extremely anxious, and scolded: "Sins deserve ten thousand deaths, sins deserve ten thousand deaths, what's the use of you dying 10,000 times? The imperial hospital is offering you like offerings to Buddha. Is it for nothing? If the concubine Chen If there is something to do, it is natural to mention your heads, and it will be useless even if you smash it." The imperial physicians were so frightened that their skirts rustled and they dared not speak.Huang Taiji softened for a moment, and asked Fu Taifu again: "Back when Qi Lei was so ill, 100% of them died, and 90% of them died. Didn't you come back to life and be pulled back from the Palace of Hades? Now Concubine Chen is just sad and injured. , it’s not a disease, why don’t you have an idea?” Fu Yinzu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing was seriously injured at the beginning, only her body was hurt, not her heart. She was strong-willed and had a good foundation, so she could be saved; now Concubine Chen is deeply worried. The body is weak, and now he refuses to take care of himself. He only thinks about the eighth elder brother every day, and wants to go with the elder brother. As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine, even if the old minister has the power to recover, he can't think .” After hearing this, Huang Taiji became more and more heartbroken, and the pain was unbearable.Whenever I have time every day, I will stay by Hai Lanzhu's side, searching my heart to say some soothing words, other than that, I can only resign myself to fate.Zhe Zhe used to go back and forth to visit three times a day at first, keeping the ready-made words of condolences and condolences, but when he saw that Hai Lanzhu was ignoring him, his heart gradually faded away, so he ordered the imperial physician to serve him carefully. Poor Hai Lanzhu, who was originally as delicate and soft as a flower, is now as gray as gossamer, as if it will be blown away by the wind at any time, and sometimes he is awake and sometimes confused. . Fulin's birth hastened her death.Night after night, Fulin's cries passed through the halls and houses, and she heard them clearly, but she hesitated in a daze: Is it the eighth elder brother who is crying?Where did Eighth Brother go? She always asked the palace people over and over again: Did you hear the crying of the eighth elder brother?Is he hungry?Are you awake? The palace people were baffled, they didn't hear any voice, but they couldn't answer unequivocally to Concubine Chen's question: No, it's not the eighth elder brother, but the son of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace and the ninth elder brother Fulin. cries. Hearing this, Huang Taiji was even more troubled and pityful, and regardless of injustice, he ordered Lu Lianke to go to Yongfu Palace to deliver an oral order, telling the nanny to take good care of elder brother, not to cry, and to disturb the concubine Chen to rest. Concubine Zhuang was so angry that she fainted after hearing the order, but she had to bear it, and said through the curtain: Thank you, Eunuch Lu, for taking care of me.I'm still in the middle of the month, so I won't get up anymore. I ask my father-in-law to report back to the emperor. The little elder brother is very good and doesn't cry a lot.At this point, Da Yu'er gave up completely, and no longer expected Huang Taiji to visit her, even if he came occasionally, she would only deal with it politely, not as happy as before. After giving birth to Fulin and the son she shared with Dorgon, Da Yuer has seen clearly about her own future and the future of her son. She has no way out in her life and must accompany Fulin. There is no other choice but to grow up healthily and go forward courageously to the throne of the emperor in the Golden Luan Palace.Huang Taiji only had Hai Lanzhu in his heart, only the eighth elder brother, even if it was a dead eighth elder brother, he would value him more than the newly born ninth elder brother.It doesn't matter if you don't want such a husband; it doesn't matter if you don't want such an Ama.Besides, he was not the real Amma of his son. With such thoughts in mind, Da Yuer calmed down instead, and only stepped up to take care of herself every day. In her free time, she would read books, play chess, or play with parrots for a while, quite leisurely. Let's say that Zhezhe was very unhappy because Riduo'er said "eat the right food" before he died that day.It's only because of the succession of weddings and weddings in the palace that I have been forbearing and never cared about them. This morning I asked Anbi, because the old saying was repeated, I said to the concubines: "It is said that the girls in the palace have been serving for so many years, and they are all grown up. It is time to let them out. You all heard what Duo'er said that day. I can't stand these things any longer. Even though Chai'er and Fuzi are dead, it's hard to guarantee that there will still be unclean ones. Is this Shengjing Palace a place where filth is hidden? Therefore What I mean is, calculate from top to bottom, distribute all the big girls in the palaces according to the roster, or sell or marry, or ask her parents to take it back, or reward her with a few taels of silver for her good service. Find a way out by yourself, and get another better and newer one. What do you think?" The imperial concubine Na Muzhong, because her own girl has gone all the way, wished that everyone would lose their confidants like her, so she was the first to say: "What the empress said is the most reasonable, but the palace maids of all ages There are also rules, they are picked every few years, and they are released every few years. There is no one who always holds back and delays people's youth. Besides, these girls have grown up over the years, know a lot of things, and have a big temper. It's a bad disease that can't be described in the mouth, and it really needs to be cleaned up." After hearing this, the concubines of the palaces all looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling very unbearable.Especially Batma, who is the most soft-hearted and gentle person, but the girls under him are all smart and sophisticated, especially the eldest girl, Jianqiu, who is an indispensable eyeliner arm by her side, smarter and more decisive than ordinary masters, Dafan For things that Batma is uncertain about, it is mostly Jianqiu who decides for her; or what should be added or subtracted in life, it is also Jianqiu who pays attention to the increase and decrease of adjustments; It was Jianqiu who was holding her by the side, helping her to turn dangers into blessings, and to observe the situation.So after hearing this, she felt like a top-notch person, and couldn't help arguing: "It doesn't necessarily mean that everyone should go, and you should ask them what they think." Na Muzhong was taken aback for a moment, she was with Batma, and she always said one thing about Batma and never said another, but now because of a girl she contradicted her, she couldn't help being furious, and retorted: "If you ask them everything It means that we have really called Bai to be the master for once." Batma blushed and didn't dare to say any more, but the one who kept her mouth shut was obviously unwilling.Zhe Zhe looked at it, and it was not easy to make a strict order. Look around, among the five palaces, the servants of the two palaces are all dead; now Concubine Zhuang has just given birth, and she can't come on leave; , but it shows that you are not happy.After calculation, only by purging from his own Qingning Palace can he convince the public. Just about to speak, unexpectedly Yingchun heard it clearly from outside the curtain. She was deceiving the empress soft-hearted and lacked the means, so she committed the crime of contemptuousness, lifted the curtain and came in, knelt down in front of Zhezhe, He hugged his legs and cried: "Mother, this slave has made a vow to follow her all her life. If my mother kicks me out, Yingchun will be the only one to die. That hairpin has no shame, it is an ugly thing done by her own family. As for Duo'er The words are just to drag people into the water before dying. The servants can’t understand the nonsense she said, and there is absolutely no such dirty behavior. Please learn from the empress. If the empress has recently appeared in the palace If the matter is about to be driven out of the servant, the servant will not be able to clean up even if he jumps into the Yellow River." He cried loudly. Zhezhe had already softened, and said involuntarily: "Girl Yingchun got up, and I didn't say anything about you. It's just that you are growing up, so can't you stay in the palace for the rest of your life?" Yingchun just kowtowed and said swearing To serve all your life. 诸妃看见哲哲颜色松动，知她心中早已允了，只是话说得满了下不了台，遂都假意劝说，都赞迎春忠心，这是皇后娘娘慈恩浩荡感动上苍，老天才特意派下这么一个人来服侍她的，就同王母娘娘身边的金童玉女一样，是她命中如此，倒不可强其志的。 哲哲听了自是受用，遂笑道：“这也赞得她太过了，做奴才，自然该是忠心的，若是各个都像那个叫什么钗儿的那般油腔滑调，藏奸耍鬼的还了得？”又命各宫回去整饰宫闱，裁减仆从，说是“做主子的别只惦着一心邀皇上的宠，自己身边养着小鬼儿呢都不知道。回去说给那起不长眼的奴才们知道，宫里的声名要紧，若是再有那起不三不四的人事叫我知道，非但当事的人要死，便是知情不报的也要连坐的。” 各宫都不好应声，只得低头听训，过后应景儿地随便点一两个用不上的丫头报数，随哲哲发出宫去。剪秋等一干人心怀鬼胎，都以为这回必定死了，大惊小怪多日，打听着事情消停了，这才放下心来，从此果然收敛许多，不敢再像从前那般频约密会，无法无天。
