Chapter 135 Chapter 135 The crime of bullying the king?

Brother Eight asked, "What's the matter?" Qing Chuan opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Er Niang is gone." Brother Eight was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" Qing Chuan looked back at the dry well, and said: "Emiang is gone, she fell into the well, all the maids and eunuchs went down to fish, but they couldn't find it." The eighth elder brother looked at her blankly, as if to see if she was telling a joke, and shook his head after a long while: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Qing Chuan hurriedly held Eighth Brother's hand, and said, "Calm down, and listen to me."

But how could the eighth elder brother calm down at this moment? He grabbed Qingchuan's wrist with his backhand and asked in a panic: "You and Er Niang are playing tricks on me together, aren't you? Where is she? You take me there quickly see her." Qingchuan looked at him sympathetically, but didn't know what to say to comfort him. The eighth elder brother shook off her hand suddenly, walked around her and strode towards the fire scene.Qingchuan was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed him and chased after him. The fire scene was brightly lit, and Kangxi, who had rushed over after receiving the report, stood in the courtyard, looking at the dry well motionlessly.Doubt, sadness, anger... All kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, and Kangxi said angrily: "There is no water in this well, how could you drown to death? You are all guilty of deceiving the emperor, and you will all be executed."

Seeing Kangxi getting angry, everyone in the yard panicked and knelt down. Those eunuchs who saw Concubine Liang disappear at the mouth of the well kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor calms down, slaves dare not lie, slaves really watch Until Liang Concubine disappeared at the mouth of this well." Just as he was talking, Ba Age pulled Qing Chuan and ran in from the outside.When Kangxi saw him, he grabbed him and asked: "Old Ba, tell me, is your mother-in-law joking with me? Just like you cheated Qingchuan that time, is it a trick? Tell me, you Say..."

The eighth elder brother is in a state of confusion in his heart, how can he return to the question of Kangxi. Kangxi seemed to want to get proof, and asked anxiously: "Come and see, there is no water in this well, and it is so shallow, how could your mother-in-law disappear? Don't you believe the legends outside, put your forehead Is mother a monster?" Qing Chuan thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine was also there at the time, and I also saw the whole process of Concubine Liang's disappearance. Concubine Liang thought that no matter whether it was a human or a demon, a god or a ghost, the concubine Liang would be After so many years in the palace, she has never done anything to harm the Qing Dynasty or the emperor, so let's treat her as a fairy in the sky and fly away with her merits. Please don't anger anyone anymore."

Kangxi was startled when he heard this, did Concubine Liang really not hurt him?But why did he feel that he was already bruised all over.He suddenly remembered that she had talked a lot to him in Qianqing Palace during the day, so she was going to leave, and she walked so cleanly that not even a body was left behind.No, he can't let her leave as she wants, or stay as long as she wants, no matter whether she is a fairy or a monster! Kangxi turned his head to look at the dry well, and shouted angrily: "Li Dequan, seal off all the places in this area, and find a craftsman to dig this well for me. If you want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die, even if you dig three feet of ground, you can't do it." You want to find Concubine Liang, do you hear me?"

Li Dequan hurriedly responded loudly: "Hey!" Kangxi left with a flick of his sleeves, and returned to Qianqing Palace angrily.Li Dequan personally led people to seal off the entire fire scene, and ordered people to dig the dry well, but they dug all the way to the end, but they couldn't find Concubine Liang. Li Dequan had no choice but to carefully report the result to Kangxi.Kangxi sat on the throne with a gloomy expression. He didn't make a sound for a long time, and after a long while, he waved his hand lightly, "Go down." Concubine Liang just disappeared out of thin air in the palace, and everyone in the palace got the news, some were happy and some were sad.

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De did not respond to the news for a long time.Fei Cui looked at her, and said cautiously: "I heard that the emperor locked himself in the room for a day, and came out the next day as if this had never happened. He went to court as usual to deal with political affairs." A hint of bitterness flashed across Concubine De's face, she said softly: "The emperor is bitter." Fei Cui hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Is the master going to see the emperor?" Concubine De thought for a moment, but shook her head, "I can't go now, I know the emperor's temperament, the more he doesn't care about it, the more he cares about it in his heart, Concubine Liang disappeared suddenly, he must have resentment in his heart, If we bump into it recklessly at this time, it will make him angry."

Sure enough, when a concubine saw the sudden disappearance of the concubine Liang, she wanted to take the opportunity to invite favors. Unexpectedly, she was severely reprimanded by Kangxi and her feet were grounded. When Fei Cui heard the news, she hurried back to tell Concubine De, and said flatteringly: "Master understands the emperor's thoughts." Concubine De had just read the letter from the Fourteenth Elder Brother, she was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "After all, I have been with the Emperor for so long, so I am better than those young ones." Seeing that she was in a good mood, Fei Cui glanced at the letter paper, and jokingly said, "I don't know what Elder Fourteen wrote to Master, to make Master so happy."

As soon as Concubine De concubine said this, the smile on her face became wider, she raised the letter paper in her hand, and said with a smile: "Look, this kid, Old Fourteen, will definitely make me happy. He said he fell in love with me in Mongolia. A Mongolian Gege, who was going to stay in Mongolia and never come back, so frightened that Bengong sweated. But fortunately, he said later that because he missed Bengong, he decided to give up his love and return to the palace to serve Erniang. You said this child How do the eyes of the mind grow? It is cold and hot for a while, and it makes people feel up and down."

Fei Cui smiled and said, "The master is also happy, isn't he?" Concubine De nodded and said: "That's right, my mother is worried about traveling thousands of miles, and I am naturally relieved to get a few words. By the way, is there any news from Lao Ba recently?" Fei Cui replied: "I heard that the emperor is very indifferent to Brother Ba. I went to pay my respects to Brother Ba and Fujin several times, but I didn't see him." Concubine De sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "The same is true for this good concubine. No one is alive, no corpse is dead, and she has to take her clothes to be buried. She died herself, and she will suffer for her by leaving a son behind." .”

Fei Cui was afraid that Concubine De would think about Concubine Liang's special favor and feel bad, so she hurriedly said: "Never mind him, wouldn't it be better for Master?" Concubine De nodded lightly, and sighed: "That's right. I thought about how much effort it would take, but I didn't expect that even God would help." "Master, don't worry, master has suffered so much in this life, he will definitely be blessed." Fei Cui said, and changed the subject without showing any trace, and asked: "Hey, counting the days, the fourteenth brother should come back right?" As soon as the fourteenth elder brother was mentioned, Concubine De's troubles disappeared immediately, she only said: "It is said that these days, it has not yet been decided. This child has been random since he was a child, and he can't help himself at all. Maybe he has arrived in the capital by now , but we don’t know that’s all. If you want to subdue his heart, you have to put in a lot of thought.” After hearing this, Fei Cui smiled and said, "Master, don't be afraid. Elder Fourteen has listened to you the most since he was a child. Didn't he say that? He is the grandson Monkey, and you are the Tathagata Buddha. No matter how powerful the Sun Monkey is, he can't unmask the Tathagata Buddha." palm of your hand." When she said this, Concubine De burst out laughing, and scolded: "You, you're almost like him, if you're not good at anything, just talk sweet." Fei Cui quickly responded with a smile: "Slaves don't dare!" The two of them were chatting and laughing when a palace maid came in from outside and reported, "Master, someone from the Qianqing Palace said that the fourteenth elder brother is back. He first went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, and he will come here to tell the master in a while." Please." Concubine De didn't expect Elder Fourteen to enter the palace so soon, she was surprised and happy when she heard that, she hurriedly asked Fei Cui to go down to prepare Elder Fourteen's favorite food.Seeing her so happy, Fei Cui hurriedly responded and turned around to leave.Concubine De waited anxiously in the palace, and sent people to the palace gate from time to time to see if Elder Fourteen had arrived, and after another half an hour, Elder Fourteen was accompanied by Elder Four into the Yonghe Palace. Fourteenth elder brother entered the door, knelt down in front of Concubine De with a plop, kowtowed to her, and said: "I'm back, I'm not filial, I'm worried about my mother." Concubine De hurriedly stepped forward to help Elder Fourteen get up, looked up at his face carefully, shed tears of joy, and said: "You're tall and dark, you child, why don't you want to come back once you're gone? !" The fourteenth elder brother smiled and helped Concubine De go to the chair and sat down, said with a smile: "I'm back, Er Niang, stop training me, I urged the horse to run all the way in order to see Er Niang sooner, I'm still hungry right now." After hearing this, Concubine De concubine called Fei Cui to bring up elder brother Fourteen's favorite food, and then turned her head to ask about elder brother Fourteen's situation in the army. The mother and son talked affectionately for a while, and then Concubine De saw Until the fourth elder brother was still standing in the house, he felt a little embarrassed on his face, smiled covertly, and said, "The fourth brother also come and sit down, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" The fourth elder brother smiled faintly, and said: "No, when I came here just now, Erchen had already chatted with the fourteenth brother, Er Niang and the fourteenth brother have a good talk, there are still things in the son's mansion, so I will leave first gone." After finishing speaking, he resigned from Concubine De and Fourteenth Elder Brother, and left the palace. After returning to Prince Yong's Mansion, Jin Zhi was still waiting for him to eat. Seeing him coming in, he hurriedly fetched water for him to wash up, and asked casually, "Fourth Master, the purple sweet potato emperor Ama Ke we sent you also like it." Since being reprimanded by Kangxi last time, the fourth elder brother has not participated in the court affairs much, and has been cultivating himself in the mansion. Later, he opened up a vegetable plot in the back garden and planted some fresh fruits and vegetables.A few days ago, a new purple sweet potato came out of the garden, and the fourth elder brother sent some to the palace. I never thought that Kangxi was happy to eat it, and by the way, the fourth elder brother also praised it a few times. The fourth elder brother smiled and nodded when he heard Jin Zhi's question.When Jin Zhi saw it, he couldn't help sighing softly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's good to be a couple of peasants with Fourth Master like this, even if it's a bit hard and tiring, but my heart is pure." The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to shake Jin Zhi's hand.Jin Zhi came back to his senses, quickly smiled and said: "Look at what nonsense I'm talking about, Fourth Master is a man with great ambitions, don't be as knowledgeable as I am a woman."
