Chapter 53 Chapter Fifty-Three Don't Startle the Snake

Qing Chuan lived in the Prince's Garden for quite a while, so she didn't dare to lie and say that she didn't know her, so she could only vaguely say: "Before this servant entered the palace, I worked as a servant in the Prince's Garden." Concubine Xi said coldly: "Now you are a member of Chuxiu Palace, you should forget everything about the past." Then she glanced contemptuously at the abandoned prince, and said disdainfully, "What kind of fairy is not a fairy? I think he His brains have been shut down in the clan mansion. Let's not provoke him and leave quickly."

Concubine Xi and his party left in a hurry, Yinfeng wanted to catch up, but was grabbed by the fourth elder brother, and persuaded in a low voice: "Second brother, you just came out of the clan mansion, don't mess with Huang Ama again. Angry!" Yinfeng turned around unwillingly, and shouted: "Like! It's so similar! But why is Xiangu in the palace again? I must be wrong!" The fourth elder brother looked at the back of Qing Chuan going away, and asked Yin Reng: "Second brother, you said that the maid next to Empress Xi looks like a fairy girl?" Yinfeng nodded hurriedly and said: "It's so similar. Fourth, you don't know how clever that fairy is? Ever since she was by my side, everything went smoothly for me, but as soon as she ran away, I was imprisoned immediately , Do you think it's evil?"

The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and then asked: "What is the name of the fairy girl you are talking about?" Yinfeng replied: "Qingchuan, Xiangu said her name is Qingchuan." The fourth elder brother didn't speak, but he had other plans in his mind. He was worrying that Qingchuan couldn't get rid of him. If he was charged with bewitching the prince, not only would the connection between Lao Ba and Xi Concubine be severed, it might even arouse the emperor's suspicion. elder brother. Yinfeng didn't know that the fourth elder brother had schemes on his mind, so he just begged him: "Fourth brother, please help me with two things quickly. One is to help me find the whereabouts of Xiangu, and the other is to help me find a place. I'll draw a picture for you later, that's the place Xiangu has been looking for, last time she ran away because she couldn't find it, this time I must try to keep her by my side."

The fourth elder brother smiled faintly when he heard this, and replied: "Okay." The release of the abolished prince caused a great change in the situation in the court. It turned out that some courtiers who supported the eighth elder brother immediately wavered and only wanted to see the situation first.Seeing that the originally good situation had turned into this, Brother Nine was very angry and scolded angrily: "The fourth brother has evil intentions, I don't believe that he begged Huang Ama to release the deposed prince because of some brotherhood! Those courtiers are also bastards, Previously, everyone expressed their loyalty, but when they saw that the limelight was about to change, they immediately retreated!"

The eighth elder brother reacted calmly, and persuaded the ninth elder brother: "Old nine, calm down, no matter what, the deposed prince is always our second elder brother, and Huang Ama can let him out, which shows that he cares about the relationship between father and son. It's not a bad thing." The tenth elder brother also persuaded: "What the eighth brother said is true. Besides, although Huang Ama let go of the abolished prince, she still favors the eighth elder brother the most. Ninth elder brother, you worry too much." The ninth elder brother had a gloomy face and did not speak, the eighth elder brother stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, Huang Ama has his own plans for how to do it. As sons, we just need to do our best. It's gone. Let's go, I haven't gone to beat Buku for a long time, let's go together!"

After hearing this, the tenth elder brother hurriedly stepped forward to pull the ninth elder brother, and they went to the cloth warehouse.When I got there, I met Kangxi unexpectedly. When Kangxi saw them coming in, he greeted Brother Ba with a smile and said, "Come here, old Ba. They said you, Buku, are the best fighters. Show me your hands!" The eighth elder brother did not dare to fight Kangxi, and quickly declined: "Huang Ama, why are you..." But Kangxi said: "Stop talking nonsense, there are only opponents in the cloth warehouse, and there is no Huang Ama, show me your true skills."

As he said that, he greeted him with his hand, but the eighth brother could only resist with his moves, and the two immediately fought together.Kangxi has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and although he is a few years old now, his body is very tough, and his moves are very fast, with a breath of wind.The eighth brother was already good at martial arts, so he was also aroused by him to be competitive, and he used all his kung fu. The two people he saw were coming and going, punching and kicking, and the fight was incomparable. When the fourth elder brother came in, he happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help hesitating. Should he hand over the evidence in his hand to Kangxi? With this, he sat on the throne of the prince again...

The eighth elder brother over there already had the upper hand, he punched out, and it was about to fall on Kangxi, he hurriedly withdrew his fist, knelt down on the ground, and confessed: "Huang Ama forgive me!" But Kangxi laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "Okay, my old man's kung fu has really improved a lot, and his agility is even better than mine in those days, hahaha..." Seeing this scene, the fourth elder brother secretly said that the emperor Ama favored the old eighth, and the move to pass on the throne was imminent. If he didn't continue to beat him and extinguish his arrogance, he would really be useless. Even if the deposed prince was restored, he would be just a fool. For a dull person, the lesser of two evils... The fourth elder brother finally made a choice, and walked forward with a brocade plate in his hand.

Kangxi had just wiped off his sweat, and threw the sweat towel to Li Dequan, who was standing beside him. He turned around and saw the fourth elder brother coming, and asked, "Fourth brother, why are you here?" The fourth elder brother said respectfully: "Huang Ama, my son has something to announce." Kangxi was slightly taken aback, and asked: "Why don't you talk about it in the court, and you have to come here to disturb." The fourth elder brother replied cautiously: "It's about the abolition of the prince." Kangxi's expression sank when he heard this, "What did Nizi do?"

The fourth elder brother handed over the puppet prepared in advance and the forest map drawn by Qingchuan found in the prince's other garden to the prince, and replied in a deep voice: "Returning to Huang Ama, the abolished prince moved to Yuqing Palace a few days ago , I asked my minister to pack some things for him, but I found a lot of witchcraft in the other garden of the abandoned prince. I suspect that the reason why he has become so rebellious these days is mainly caused by witchcraft. Please also Emperor Ama Mingcha." Li Dequan put all these things in front of Kangxi, Kangxi took a look at the puppet with the birthday of the deposed prince, and fell silent.Li Dequan glanced at Kangxi's face, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you brought up the crown prince, but you still don't know his temperament? If there is no witchcraft, how could his temperament change suddenly?"

Kangxi's face became more gloomy, and he said coldly: "Go and investigate immediately!" The fourth elder brother waited for these words, and when he heard the sound, he quickly agreed: "Hey." After Kangxi saw those things, he didn't have the heart to beat Buku anymore, and drove back to Qianqing Palace. Only the eighth princes remained in the Buku room.Brother Nine said angrily: "The fourth brother didn't stand up for the abolished prince in the early days, and he didn't stand up for the abolished prince in the evening. He chose to speak at this time. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!" The tenth elder brother also echoed: "I can see it. The fourth brother intends to support the abolished prince. The abolished prince is honest and kind. How can a starling be so threatening to him? Of course the persimmon is soft." The eighth elder brother was silent, the fourth child suddenly came up with a witchcraft at this time, his mind was indeed vicious, since ancient times, the most taboo of the emperor is the witchcraft, anyone who touches it will be killed .Who will the fourth child be targeting this time? The matter soon came to fruition. After investigation, it was found that the elder brother used witchcraft to suppress Yinfeng, conspired to assassinate his brother, and found the suppressing object. Kangxi was furious and ordered the elder brother to be detained, Ge Jue, and confinement. government.There was an uproar in the court, because the eighth elder brother was brought up by the eldest elder brother's biological mother Hui Fei when he was young, so the relationship between the two has always been relatively close, and the eldest elder brother transferred to the eighth elder brother since he had no hope of winning the crown.The eldest brother was imprisoned, which was a heavy blow to the eighth elder brother's power. On the second day, Prince Horqin Darhan's son-in-law and other civil and military officials made a memorial to invite the crown prince to return and stayed in China.A few days later, Kangxi officially decreed that the crown prince's disobedience was caused by witchcraft and had nothing to do with his nature.Now that the voodoo has been eradicated, his title of prince should be restored, and his salary will remain the same. The ministers of the DPRK and China were all in a hurry to see the wind, and immediately switched from the camp supporting the eight princes to the princelings.Unexpectedly, the holy will is unpredictable. Although Kangxi restored the crown prince Yinreng, he still favored the eighth elder brother very much, which made everyone lose their minds for a while. Longkodo discussed with the fourth elder brother: "Although the emperor restored the crown prince, the eighth elder brother still has power. We must not relax our carelessness. We must beat them so that they have no power to fight back!" The fourth elder brother pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I have an idea." If you want to divorce the relationship between Kangxi and Lao Ba, you have to start with the relationship between Chuxiu Palace and Lao Ba. You only need to plant the seeds of suspicion of Lao Ba in Kangxi's heart, but this seed is Chu Xiugong's. That court lady - Qingchuan. Qing Chuan did not expect to see the fourth elder brother again.She was ordered by Xi Concubine to go to the clothes room to see Xi Concubine's newly made clothes, but when she didn't want to come back, she ran into him in the imperial garden. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time since Nanyuan parted, but he was still tall and straight with stern features.Qing Chuan was stunned for a while, then knelt down to salute and said, "Si elder brother is auspicious." The fourth elder brother was holding the piano in his hand, and after seeing clearly that it was Qingchuan, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "Qingchuan? Just right, I have composed a new piece of music, you are also lucky , come and listen." Saying this, Qingchuan could not refuse, turned around and walked towards the pavilion where he often played the piano. Seeing him like this, Qingchuan didn't want to spoil his interest, so she had to follow behind into the pavilion. The fourth elder brother sat down in the pavilion, flicked his hands on the strings lightly, and the melodious sound of the piano immediately flowed out like clear spring water, with sparkling water waves rippling away from the pavilion Come.Qingchuan's mind couldn't help but swayed, and he heard the slightly deep voice of the fourth prince from the piano: "There is a beautiful person, you will never forget it when you see it. If you don't see it for a day, you will miss it like crazy. When the phoenix flies and soars, you will seek the phoenix from all over the world. The helpless beauty is not on the east wall. I will use the piano to express my heartfelt words. When will I see you again?" Xu Xi, comfort me when I am hesitant. May your words be worthy of virtue, and join hands with each other. Don’t let me fly and cause me to perish.” After the song was played, Qingchuan was already fascinated by hearing it, and she was stunned stupidly. It was not until the fourth elder brother smiled at her faintly that she came back to her senses and applauded: "It's really played!" Nice to hear." The fourth elder brother stood up and said with a smile: "Now I have something to do, I can't finish playing, the emperor has a family banquet tonight, if you attend with Empress Xi, maybe you can listen to it again." Qing Chuan did not doubt that he was there, and asked with some surprise: "Really?" The fourth elder brother nodded solemnly, took another deep look at Qingchuan, and then turned and left. Qing Chuan suddenly became inexplicably happy.Back at Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xi was picking out a gift for the crown prince. When she saw her coming, she pointed to the white jade Guanyin held by the maid beside her, and discussed with her, "Since it is said that the crown prince was harmed by a witchcraft, , then you said that I would like to give the prince a Guanyin statue?" The Avalokitesvara is more than a foot high, the jade is white and flawless, moist and translucent, like gelatinous fat, Qingchuan knew that it must not be ordinary, flattering said: "This white jade Avalokitesvara is a peerless treasure at first glance, and it also symbolizes peace and harmony, Your Majesty It must be a pleasure to see." Xi Concubine's face turned pale when she heard this, and teased her: "You are not stupid." Qing Chuan wanted to attend the dinner with Xi Concubine, so she hurried forward to help Xi Concubine wash and dress up. Seeing that the time for the dinner was approaching, but Xi Concubine was still calmly dressing up in the mirror, Qing Chuan couldn't help urging her to say: : "Your Majesty, should we go, don't annoy the emperor when it's too late." Concubine Xi smiled, looked at the beaded flowers on her head from side to side in the mirror, and said slowly: "You don't understand, there are so many people at the dinner party, so if you go early, you can only wait on the table honestly." , how can the emperor see you! Go, it's time to go!" With such thoughts in mind, she went very late until the dinner party was about to start, and then she led Qingchuan into the hall gracefully, saluted Kangxi delicately, and opened her mouth to apologize: " The concubine came late to prepare a gift for the crown prince, so please don't blame the emperor." Kangxi was in a good mood, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "My concubine has a heart, how can I blame you? What gift did you prepare?" Xi Concubine pursed her lips and smiled, then lightly clapped her hands.Qing Chuan, who had been standing behind her holding the brocade box, walked forward with her head slightly lowered, and opened the brocade box in her hand, revealing the white jade Guanyin inside. Concubine Xi smiled and said, "This is the White Jade Guanyin blessed by the sixth Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tsangyang Gyatso. With her, the crown prince will never be troubled by witchcraft again. Qingchuan, give it to the crown prince." Qing Chuan answered "Yes", bowed her head and held the White Jade Guanyin in front of the prince, and said softly, "Prince, please." The crown prince's eyes did not fall on the Baiyu Guanyin, but kept staring at Qingchuan, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Xianggu? Is it really you?" Qingchuan was in a hurry, winked at the prince, and secretly cursed that the prince is really an idiot, how could she be called a fairy girl on this occasion!Unexpectedly, the crown prince turned a blind eye to her hint, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, turned his head and begged Xi Concubine, "I don't want this white jade Guanyin, Madam Xi, please give me this palace lady!" Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and there would be occasional elder brothers who took a fancy to the maid of a certain palace, but most of them would go down to ask for it from the mistress of that palace in private, and she had never seen someone who dared to ask someone like that in front of Kangxi. of! Kangxi on the throne was even more furious, and scolded: "Yinfeng is bold, just came out of the clan's house, and is greedy for women, do you take me seriously?" Seeing that Kangxi had misunderstood him, the prince hurriedly knelt down and explained: "If you go back to Huang Ama, I don't want her for sex, but to help Huang Ama better. She is a fairy girl who can know the past and the future. With her by Erchen's side, Erchen will never make mistakes again." Kangxi's eyes were even more gloomy. Hearing this, he looked at Qingchuan, "Xianggu?" Concubine Xi was startled, she forced herself to be more courageous, and said with a smile: "The crown prince is joking, she is just an ordinary court lady, what kind of fairy girl is she? Qingchuan, you go down." Qing Chuan was eager for someone to say these words, and when she heard this, she bowed her hands and retreated outside the hall.Unexpectedly, Kangxi suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
