Chapter 58 Chapter Fifty-Eight Small Means

Chengqian Palace is on the west side of Yonghe Palace. Qingchuan passed by its gate several times, but every time he saw that the palace gate was closed and there was no sound of people inside, so he always thought it was an uninhabited palace. , never thought that Eighth Prince's biological mother would actually live here. She lifted the lantern, stepped forward cautiously, looked at the somewhat dilapidated palace gate, thought for a moment, and then called out respectfully: "Servant Qingchuan begs to see Concubine Liang." There was still no sound inside, Qingchuan stopped Stopped, and shouted again: "Servant Qing Chuan asks to see Concubine Liang."

There was still no response from the hospital.Qing Chuan hesitated for a moment, and pushed the palace door with his hands. Although the touch felt heavy, it didn't look like it was locked.She gritted her teeth, and pushed the palace door forcefully with her hands, only to see a mass of black shadow rushing towards her face from the door opening, Qingchuan was so frightened that she took a few steps back and dodged around, almost screaming, panicking Among them, the lantern in his hand fell to the ground and caught fire. The black shadow flew up into the night sky and spread out.bat!There are so many bats here!How could this place be so desolate?

Qing Chuan paused, and walked towards the courtyard bravely.Under the moonlight, the courtyard was full of dilapidated colors, a few tables and chairs were randomly placed in the open space in front of the main hall, a few bamboo poles for drying clothes were set up on the left, and some veils and curtains were hung to dry. On the left side of the yard, a small vegetable field was even opened up. This is not like a palace in the imperial palace at all, but more like an ordinary farmyard. Qing Chuan suppressed the surprise in her heart, and asked carefully into the hall: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone in the room?"

After a while, a sigh of resentment was heard in the room, and Qingchuan was so frightened that goosebumps all over his body, and saw a little candlelight from the room, and a woman in Tsing Yi came out holding a candle, and asked her : "Why do you ask to see the concubine Liang?" Seeing that the woman was only in her thirties, Qingchuan was tall, with clear features and plain clothes, so she guessed that she was the aunt in charge next to Concubine Liang, and hurriedly knelt down to salute her, and was about to speak. The woman stretched out her hand to block it, and said, "Wait a minute, help me hoe the grass here first."

Qing Chuan had a request from her and dared not refuse, so he hurriedly took a hoe to the small vegetable field on the right, and carefully hoeed all the weeds under the moonlight, then got up and said, "Auntie, the hoeing is finished." The woman had been sitting in the courtyard waiting, and upon hearing the words, she said, "Please help me to apply some fertilizer." Qingchuan turned back to fertilize again, and then heard the woman praise her: "There are not many people like you who are willing to help others these days, tell me, what do you want?" After hearing this, Qing Chuan hurriedly said: "The emperor wants to kill the eighth elder brother, so the servants came here specially to ask to see the concubine Liang, and I also asked my aunt to introduce me."

The woman was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, she asked softly, "Is the emperor going to kill him?" Qing Chuan couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart, got up and walked to the woman, begging: "Please help me, aunt, if it's too late, it will be too late." Unexpectedly, the woman smiled suddenly, and said very easily: "Eighth elder brother was naughty since he was a child, and I have suffered from him a lot. He was beheaded to avenge me, why should I save him?" Qingchuan never expected that she would say such a thing, so she couldn't help being stunned, and then carefully apologized: "At the beginning, he was young and ignorant, so you just don't remember the villain's faults, and at worst, I will replace him in the future." Repay you. I beg you, please, please?"

The woman looked at Qingchuan with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and suddenly asked: "Do you like him?" Qingchuan was stunned by the question, and hurriedly defended, "I didn't." The woman smiled and asked, "Still stubborn?" Qingchuan couldn't help being a little shy, and complained that the aunt in charge still wanted to joke with her at this time, but she didn't dare to lose her temper with her, so she had to explain very weakly: "I really didn't, I just wanted to help him. " The woman smiled and said bluntly: "Well, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Young people always like to talk hard, and you won't understand what is cherished until you lose it. I think you don't have to see the concubine Liang. You let the emperor Come around here, and I guarantee that the eighth brother will be fine."

After hearing this, Qing Chuan was anxious, thinking to herself, do you think I'm the queen mother?If I ask the emperor to come here, he will listen to me and come here?But in this case, she only dared to have a good time in her stomach and never said it out, so she said in embarrassment: "How could the emperor come here?" But the woman said without hesitation: "That's your business, not mine. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, go back early." After speaking, she stuffed the candle in Qing Chuan's hand, turned around and went back into the house .

"Auntie! Auntie..." Qingchuan stomped her feet anxiously, but she had no choice but to turn around and go out. After getting out of Chengqian Palace, Qingchuan was in a very depressed mood. She didn't see Concubine Liang when she begged to see her, but she saw such a weird aunt in charge and asked her to bring Kangxi here. How could she bring Kangxi? Come here, Kangxi is not a three-year-old child, that piece of candy can be fooled away! Qingchuan walked a few steps, became more and more depressed, and simply paused on the side of the corridor, holding her knees in a daze, racking her brains to think of how to lure Kangxi to come here.The candles were randomly placed on the ground by Qingchuan, illuminating a small area of ​​the ground. During the day, someone passed by here and dropped a few snack scum, which attracted many ants to come and surround the scum in groups. Dragging in the direction of the ant nest.

Qingchuan stared at it for a moment, his mind suddenly lit up, and he immediately made up his mind. For a while, he didn't even care about candles, and got up and ran to Qianqing Palace.Two days ago, Li Dequan had Xin Gong's Hundred Flowers Nectar available, and everyone put it in the cupboard. It's just perfect for use!Qingchuan ran back and forth, and when everything was done, it was almost time for the palace gate to be locked. She didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried back to her residence. In the early morning of the second day, when Kangxi came to court and was reviewing the memorial in the warm pavilion, he saw Li Dequan rushing in from outside with a happy face, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the heavens are auspicious."

Kangxi looked up at Li Dequan and asked, "What's the matter?" Li Dequan replied happily: "Returning to the emperor, someone just reported that thousands of ants formed a dragon on the wall of Chengqian Palace, which is very spectacular. Qin Tianjian said that this is a rare event in a hundred years." The wonderful scene I saw was auspicious, and I invite the emperor to go and pay my respects." Qing Chuan was standing beside Kangxi's imperial case, and when he heard the words, he slightly curled the corners of his lips.Kangxi sneered lightly, and said with disdain: "It's just some small tricks, not worth seeing." Qing Chuan spent so much effort to produce such an effect, but seeing that Kangxi was not interested at all, he was afraid that he would not go, so he hurriedly persuaded him softly: "Your Majesty, the shape of ants forming a dragon must indicate something. Ordinary people can't see the clues, guessing on their own will only make people panic, but the emperor is the real dragon emperor, he will be able to understand the mystery, please also move the emperor to Chengqian Palace for the people of the sixth palace." "Chengqian Palace?" Kangxi looked dazed for a moment, stood up from behind the case after a moment of silence, and said lightly: "Then go and have a look." Qingchuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly followed Kangxi to Chengqian Palace with Li Dequan.In the passageway outside Chengqian Palace, many court ladies and eunuchs gathered around a palace wall and looked at something.Li Dequan cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "The emperor is here——" Everyone was startled, hurriedly dispersed to both sides, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Good luck, your majesty." Kangxi ignored the crowd, stepped forward to look at the dragon-shaped patterns densely packed with ants on the palace wall, sneered lightly, and said, "What kind of auspiciousness descended from heaven is clearly a trick of charlatans." Li Dequan was confused, and asked cautiously: "This...slave is stupid..." Kangxi then told him: "Go up and see, what's under the ants?" Li Dequan stepped forward suspiciously, looked carefully at the ants, then wiped them off the wall, put his nose up to smell them, and asked in surprise, "Honey?" Kangxi commanded in a deep voice: "Whether it's a prank or a lie to confuse the public? Find someone to clean it up immediately, and don't talk about it anymore." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly saw a light blown from the side of the palace wall. When the rice paper came over, Kangxi stared blankly at the rice paper for a moment, hesitated for a while, and stepped forward to push open the gate of Chengqian Palace. Qing Chuan was overjoyed when he saw it, and was about to follow, but was stopped by Li Dequan.Qingchuan looked at him strangely, very puzzled: "Li Adanda..." Li Dequan shook his head lightly, the emperor didn't know whether he was happy or angry when he met the one living inside, if they follow in like this rashly, it will only cause trouble. There was a lot of rice paper hanging in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, Kangxi walked quickly among the papers, until he was blocked by a tea table, and only then did he see the figure reflected behind the white paper.It had been a long time since he had seen this figure, but it often disturbed his clear dreams. "Your Majesty, please have some tea." The man's voice was still the same, although it was soft, but it always carried a stubborn meaning that would never compromise.Kangxi was silent for a while, sat down slowly by the coffee table, and asked softly: "You used the method to attract me..." The man did not answer, but he already denied it himself: "No , no, you have already sworn not to leave Chengqian Palace..." Concubine Liang smiled, ignored Kangxi's words, and asked softly, "What do you think of my new rice paper, Your Majesty?" Kangxi looked up at the rice paper drying in the air, smiled bitterly, and replied: "I said earlier, you make the best rice paper you have used in your life." Concubine Liang sighed faintly, "Unfortunately, no matter how good the concubine makes rice paper, no one will use it anymore." Kangxi's heart softened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but said: "All of this is caused by yourself, why should I know today? If you are willing..." Concubine Liang interrupted him suddenly, and said in a firm tone: "The concubine is not willing!" Kangxi paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, but the laughter revealed a little bit of heartache, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am being sentimental." He smiled, got up and left, but was called by Concubine Liang again. Living. "Your Majesty, are you going to execute Eighth Brother?"
