Chapter 128 Chapter 128 This Weird Situation

Brother Eight couldn't help being startled, then nodded with a smile and said: "You have become a female Zhuge." Huaying said coquettishly: "Eighth elder brother, don't come and laugh at me, you hurry up and go to your official business, I have an appointment with the sisters who were in the palace before, and I am going to take a walk in the imperial garden." The eighth elder brother said with a smile: "Go, I don't dare to delay your sisters going." Huaying smiled, and only brought a close-fitting court lady out of Yongshou Palace to the Imperial Garden.But there were no former sisters waiting for her in the garden, so she found an excuse to send away the maids who followed her, and secretly sent the news to elder brother thirteenth elder brother.

When the thirteenth elder brother heard that Kangxi asked the eighth elder brother to accompany him to worship the ancestors, he was shocked for a while, "Worshiping the ancestors? Is this ancestor worship worthwhile? Isn't that telling the whole world that the eighth elder brother is the next prince?" Huaying shook her head, secretly looked at Brother Thirteen's face, and said, "I don't know about that. I heard that only a small number of guards were arranged to accompany them, and they didn't intend to disturb the surrounding people." Brother Thirteen was taken aback when he heard the words, "Really?"

Huaying replied: "Definitely." Brother Thirteen's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "That's good, maybe bad things will turn into good things." Huaying secretly smiled inwardly, but she looked indifferent on the face, she just said: "I have to go back quickly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Eighth Brother." The thirteenth elder brother nodded, and after Huaying walked for a while, he got up and went out of the palace to Yongwang Mansion, and told the fourth elder brother that the eighth elder brother was going to accompany Kangxi to worship the ancestors.

The fourth elder brother remained silent after listening, and only tapped the table lightly with his fingers.The thirteenth elder brother was anxious and couldn't help urging him: "Fourth brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you should make a decision quickly." The fourth elder brother said lightly: "The time is not yet ripe." The thirteenth elder brother said anxiously: "Is there any timing that is not yet ripe? If the emperor Ama comes back to worship the ancestors, everything will be a foregone conclusion." The fourth elder brother looked up at him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Elder Brother Thirteen thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and replied: "I will lead some people to intercept Huang Ama and Lao Ba, and then let Nian Gengyao lead the imperial guards to surround the palace." The fourth elder brother shook his head and said softly: "It's not that simple." Brother Thirteen saw that he had been hesitating, so he decided to go all out, gritted his teeth and said, "I know, you are afraid that outsiders will say that you have usurped the throne, at worst, they will say that I did it, and you will kill me to stop their mouths."

The fourth elder brother's face darkened, and he asked him: "Is your fourth elder brother such a person?" Thirteenth elder brother knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't have the heart to explain at the moment, he just looked at him with red eyes and said, "Fourth brother, besides my mother, you are the only one who treats me best, I hope If I can make fourth brother a career, even if I die, I will not hesitate." The fourth elder brother was moved when he heard it, looked at him, but still shook his head and said: "Old Thirteen, Old Thirteen, you are fine with everything, but you are too impatient, you can't eat hot tofu, you will suffer sooner or later. This Let's stop here. You think about it calmly, I still have things to deal with, so I won't accompany you. "

After speaking, he turned and left the study. Elder Brother Thirteen was so angry and anxious, he couldn't help but punched the table fiercely, just in time for Jin Zhi to come in with a plate of snacks, he was startled when he saw this, and looked at Elder Thirteen who was furious , looked back at the fourth elder brother who was striding away, and turned to ask Thirteen: "What's the matter? Are you two brothers fighting again?" Brother Thirteen said, "Sister-in-law Si, you must help me this time." Jin Zhi wondered, "What's so serious?" Elder Brother Thirteen pulled Jin Zhi onto the chair, stood in front of her and said, "You also know that Myna and Fourth Brother are not compatible. Huang Ama has decided to take Myna to worship ancestors. This is undoubtedly an announcement to the world that Myna is The next prince. I don’t care about other things, I’m afraid that the starling will deal with the fourth brother after he becomes the emperor. At that time, let alone the Yongwang family, even the uncle may be implicated.”

Jin Zhi was startled and asked, "Then what can I do?" The thirteenth elder brother stared at her, and replied in a deep voice: "Steal me the seal of the fourth brother, and I will let Nian Gengyao lead troops to surround the palace. When the time comes, we will have the chips in our hands, so naturally everything will be decided by us." .” Jin Zhi was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Are you sure?" Elder Brother Thirteen paused, and said harshly, "It's better than just sitting around waiting to die." Jin Zhi's mind became hot, he nodded heavily and said: "Okay, you plan secretly first, and wait until I steal your fourth brother's seal and give it to you."

Three days later, when Kangxi took Eighth Prince's clothes out of the palace, he encountered an assassin. Thanks to Eighth Brother's precautions, he asked the two to pretend to be Kangxi and him sitting in the sedan chair, attracting the assassin's attention.Seeing the ambush, the assassin retreated in a hurry, but was still caught by the guards and pinned them to the ground. Kangxi rode his horse and rushed up from behind. Seeing that there were assassins in the capital, he couldn't help being furious. He pointed to the captured assassins, and angrily ordered: "Torture these lunatics well, and look at the murderer behind the scenes." Who is it?"

The eighth elder brother nodded, and ordered the assassin to be taken back to the prison of the clan's mansion first, while he accompanied Kangxi to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors.After returning to the palace from Taimiao, Huaying had been waiting anxiously for a long time, when she saw him enter the door, she rushed forward to greet him, and asked anxiously, "I heard that you met an assassin, are you okay?" Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Eighth Brother smiled gently, and replied: "Thanks to your idea, let's find two substitutes, Huang Ama and I are fine."

Huaying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. Has the murderer behind the scenes been found out?" Eighth Brother shook his head, "I caught a few lunatics, and they refused to confess no matter how hard they beat them, I really don't know what to do!" Huaying pondered for a while, and said: "There is always a way to get these people to confess." Eighth Brother was surprised, "Oh?" Hua Ying smiled, pushed him into the side hall, and said: "You have worked hard all the way, I have ordered someone to fill up the bath water, go inside and take a bath first, as for this matter, I will take care of it." The eighth elder brother wondered: "What can you do?" Huaying purposefully said: "You don't have to worry about this, I guarantee that within three days I will help you find out the murderer behind the scenes!" The more she said that, the eighth elder brother couldn't help being more curious, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, why did you ask those people to speak?" With a hint of cunning on Huaying's face, she replied: "I asked a few people to pretend to be killers and sneak into the prison of the clan mansion, pretending to kill those prisoners to silence them, and then deliberately asked the guards to save one of them. He refused to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, but in the end he will be silenced by his own people, and he will definitely be greatly stimulated. At that time, I will use life, death, wealth and honor to lure him, and he will definitely confess!" The eighth elder brother was stunned, as if he didn't know the person in front of him, he stared at her blankly. Seeing his expression, Hua Ying felt a little guilty, afraid that the eighth elder brother would think that he was a vicious person, so he hurriedly remedied: "However, it is inevitable that this is a bit vicious, but these people are all assassinating you and Huang Ama. The murderer should be beheaded logically, right?" The eighth elder brother came back to his senses, concealed the strange look in his eyes, nodded and said: "Your method is very good, I will arrange it right away." After finishing speaking, he didn't even bother to take a shower, and left in a hurry. That night, killers sneaked into the prison of the clan mansion and wanted to kill the prisoners. Thanks to the bravery of the guards, they killed the killers on the spot. However, several prisoners were murdered, and only one survived.Just as Hua Ying expected, the prisoner saw that his companions had been silenced by his own people, and he no longer had the courage to regard death as life, so he immediately recruited the mastermind behind the scenes to be none other than Kangxi's own son—the fourth elder brother Yinzhen! Longkodo had hidden eyeliner in the clan mansion, and the news had not been reported to Kangxi, but it had already reached his ears.He was shocked when he heard this, and hurried to Prince Yong's Mansion at night to deliver a letter to the fourth elder brother.I never thought that the fourth elder brother would look calm after hearing this, and said lightly: "The clean is clear, I didn't do this, it can't be blamed on me." Longkodo was taken aback, and asked involuntarily, "You really didn't do it?" The fourth elder brother shook his head and replied, "No." Longkodo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good! It seems that someone is going to pour dirty water on you. Who could this person be? Old Ba?" The fourth elder brother bowed his head in silence, but Jin Zhi, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly knelt down in front of him, and said anxiously: "Fourth master, I'm sorry for you, I stole your seal and gave it to Shisan." elder brother……" The fourth elder brother suddenly raised his head and looked at Jin Zhi fixedly, his dark and deep eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing endless chill. Jin Zhi was terrified, stepped forward and hugged his legs, and couldn't help crying, "I didn't expect it to be so serious..." He took a deep breath, the coldness in his eyes gradually faded, and said lightly: "This is the end, it's useless to blame anyone, what should come will always come, don't cry, go back to the room to rest first Let's go." He said, and then looked up at Longkodo, "Uncle also go back quickly, don't interfere in this matter, no matter how Huang Ama treats me, don't stand up." Longkodo looked at the fourth elder brother, then at Jin Zhi who was crying on his knees, heaved a long sigh, turned and left. The fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of Jin Zhi's head, and said in a low voice: "Since you are using my seal, don't pull out the thirteenth brother again. You must not steal the seal for the thirteenth brother." Tell anyone else!" Jin Zhi was already crying so hard that he could only nod his head upon hearing this. Elder Brother Thirteen also got the news. Since the assassination outside the palace failed, he guessed that Kangxi would not let it go, and he would be found out one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so fast, let alone Let his most respected fourth brother suffer for him.He sat in a daze for half the night, and left the palace for his private house as soon as the sky brightened outside.
