Chapter 49 Chapter Sixteen

Tingxiang Building I ate silently, feeling a little uninspired. I knew in my heart that Hongli understood my affairs, so I was not worried that Hongli would know about it, but the older the child, the more confusing it was. He slowly stirred the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wings in front of him, without any expression on his face, and he didn't care about Cai's affairs. He sighed secretly in his heart, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile on his face: "I should go too, and Ju Xiang and the others should come to pick me up." He stopped his movements, stared at me and smiled slightly: " It’s better to find a reliable person and keep an eye on it in the store. Empresses in the harem have to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs when they leave the palace. , it will inevitably cause gossip.”

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his gaze and continued what he had just done.He was right, leaving the palace was to be filed with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although he had already told Yinzhen, it was still against the rules.I nodded, and suddenly realized that he lowered his head and couldn't see my movements, so I said, "That's right." Standing up, about to step out, he suddenly remembered the matter of the man surnamed Weng just now, sat down again, and after a moment of silence, Hongli raised his head and said: "You want to ask whether the man named Weng is Zhe Yu's?" Brother-in-law?" I nodded slightly, his brows frowned slightly, his face slightly angry and said: "He is indeed Zhe Yu's younger brother, I didn't expect him to be so incompetent, when Zhe Yu passed the full moon, I will definitely reprimand her and restrain her family."

With a hint of anger on his face, he tightly clenched his hands on the table, staring straight at the window.Thinking of what happened just now, he said bitterly: "He actually robbed him in the name of the prince. It really doesn't look like that. Their siblings are too arrogant." Seeing his face darken, I sighed softly and said, "Who is that young master later?" He was silent for a moment, and when his expression regained his composure, a smile flashed on his lips and said, "This is the man I have known for a while. A friend, a student of Zaiqi, originally wanted to go around the capital today, but when I first arrived here, I heard that the brother-in-law of the fourth elder brother was making trouble here. I was surprised and wondered who was here under my banner. Sa Ye, just go and have a look."

He paused, and then said: "I saw you in the store, and I wanted to stop it, but my friend said that he wanted to put on a good show, so that this short-sighted thing could be taught a lesson. The family is the coated minion of his family." Thinking of Weng's embarrassment, I shook my head and said with a suppressed smile: "I used to think that the slaves in coats were always inferior and a little inhumane. I didn't expect this rule to be beneficial." He came out, smiled and said: "You don't look like a middle-aged woman in forty." I smiled and saw his face full of joy, I suppressed my smile, pondered for a while, and straightened my train of thought: "The reason why you, Ama, can devote yourself to government affairs is because there is a virtuous woman in the harem." Empress, take care of everything in the harem for him."

He froze for a moment, his smile froze on his face, and he stared at me silently. After a long while, he snorted coldly and said, "My mother is thinking too much. With my son's thinking, it's not just that Ama has a decent empress." It will." Anyone can understand what he said.I bit my lower lip lightly, smiled bitterly, stood up, and walked out silently. "It's better not to let too many people know about these shops. There have been so many incidents in the palace recently. Although the reasons have not been found out, you still have to be careful. In case something happens, you can also reserve some escape routes for yourself." He behind him said lightly, I stopped, turned around and stared at him silently for a while, wondering: "Why do you say that?"

His face softened a little, and he sighed softly: "You don't have any other income, and you don't have a brother-in-law like Eight Emperor Uncle, and Honghan is young, so if something happens in the future, you will still have these income. " I thought about what he said, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know something?" He glanced at me and smiled faintly: "When will you ask Juxiang to come and pick it up?" I looked out the window, walked over and sat down and said : "There is still some time." He stopped what he was doing, with a serious face and lightly furrowed brows. After a moment of silence, he said: "Although Uncle Thirteen didn't find anything, these incidents all revolved around Huang Ama. You just now I also said that the empress is gentle and graceful, so Ama saved a lot of worry about the harem. If something happens to the empress, you can figure out what it means to the empress. Hui's death is not a small blow to Ama."

There was a shiver in my heart, and I couldn't help trembling, the familiar fear from back then suddenly returned to me: "Your Ama and Uncle Thirteen haven't found anything, maybe this is just your conjecture, no one will intentionally For that." There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "They didn't tell you, it's because they didn't want you to worry. If these two incidents were indeed done by someone, then he can only be someone who lives in the harem. And his status will not be too high , there is no chance to leave the palace, let alone go to the garden. But if this person cannot be found out for a day, the people closest to Ama should be careful."

I stared at him in disbelief, speechless. The two were silently thinking about their own things, the curtain slammed softly, and a partner led the two of them in.I moved my eyes and looked over, Li Yu and Ju Xiang were standing at the door, Li Yu bowed his body and lowered his head slightly, Ju Xiang looked anxious.When he saw me, his face relaxed, and he walked over quickly. "My lord, you..." Seeing Hongli sitting opposite, Ju Xiang was stunned. After a moment, she reacted suddenly: "My servant, Ju Xiang, has seen four...Young Master." Hongli nodded, and Ju Xiang walked behind me silently. Standing, Li Yu waved his hand, and the little guy stepped back quickly.Li Yu took two steps forward: "My lord, the girl in your house came to you, and the villain brought her here." I smiled and said, "You go back." He punched him, bowed and backed out .

I was so sad in my heart that I couldn't get up the energy to go to Jiaohui Garden.Sitting silently for a while, she told Ju Xiang: "Let's go back." Ju Xiang asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to Jiaohui Garden?" I nodded, and she said, "I'll go down first and tell them to get ready." I stood up, glanced at him, he was still eating slowly, and asked him casually: "Aren't you going back to the palace?" He raised his head and looked at me: "I'll go see how Uncle Fourteen is doing?" Surprised: "You go to see him, isn't he in Jingling?"

His expression didn't change, he smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Fourteen has been back for two years, and he's in the capital. It's just that you live in the garden all the time, so you don't know." I couldn't stop laughing bitterly in my heart, was it really because I lived in the garden for a long time that I didn't know the news?I'm afraid it's because he's "sleeping in the same room overnight, chatting and laughing" with him, which makes people feel uncomfortable. He raised his head and said with a slight smile, "I'll go with you." He stared at me quietly, and then nodded after a long while.

Standing under the steps, I silently looked at the palace in front of me. Under the eaves of the palace, there are wooden plaques "Shouhuang Palace" hanging in the Ming Dynasty in Chinese. Seal color painting. Standing there in a daze, Hongli beside him stood silently without saying a word.A gust of wind blows, and the fallen leaves on the ground dance with the wind.My heart was terrified, I raised my hand, and a yellow leaf fell into my palm, before I closed my hand, the leaf flew up again with the wind. Sighing lightly, Hongli said lightly, "Let's go in, it's cool outside." I nodded. There was a 'squeak' sound of footsteps on fallen leaves from the west side, and a guard strode over.Judging by the color of his clothes, he should be a guard in the palace. He quickly walked over and knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the fourth elder brother in a humble position." Hongli raised his hand and asked in a cold voice: "This servant of the Shouhuang Palace is Yue Yue. It's getting more and more presumptuous, what time is it, and there are so many fallen leaves in the yard. If you can't manage this temple and mountain well, you should change the Xiangzi on your head." The guard trembled: "Humble job Damn it, I will send someone to clean it now." I smiled dumbly, a majestic general, without a battlefield; an arrogant and noble prince, who is far away from politics, whether he is imprisoned in Jingling or in this mountain scene, no matter what the environment is, For him, it's all the same. I was still looking at the three characters on the eaves of the hall, and asked with a faint smile, "Where is the fourteenth son now?" The guard who had just stood up trembled when he heard the sound: "The imperial concubine,...return to the imperial concubine's words , Fourteen Beizi danced swords at the back of the palace." Go up the steps and walk towards the back of the hall. Thirteen leaned against the porch, lazily looking at the sky.I looked at him quietly, but he kept this posture all the time, with no expression on his face. Hongli beside me passed me and walked forward.Fourteen Xu heard the footsteps, turned his eyes away, and looked over here, his eyes flicked across his face, and looked at Hongli. Suddenly, his complexion changed, and his eyes were tightly locked on me. After a while, he smiled faintly and said, "You're still here." "He looked at me, but said to Hongli: "Hongli, go in and get a brocade stool for Uncle Fourteen, no, let's get a chair." Hongli looked at me silently, and took out three chairs.After Fourteen and I sat down, Hongli sat next to Fourteen. I looked at him silently for a while, and asked with a faint smile: "How are you doing?" As soon as the words came out of my lips, I regretted asking in my heart. He is a compatriot from the same mother, and he knows his fourth brother too well. Seeing me nodding, he raised his head and smiled, and said coldly after laughing: "Is he still so afraid that people related to her will see me?" I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Is that all we can talk about?" Shisi gave me a sideways look, and mocked, "You guys are exactly the same. In your hearts, we are no match for him." Said: "Hongli has a new elder brother." Fourteen's complexion eased a little, he looked at Hongli and said, "Hi son, the Qing Dynasty should be inherited by a good son." Hongli smiled and remained silent Fourteen asked with a smile on his lips, "How are you doing?" I nodded, and he sighed softly, "How is he treating you?" I nodded again, he smiled slightly, with a desolate expression on his face, and stopped talking.For a while, the three of them sat in silence. After a long while, he asked softly: "How did he deal with Zeng Jing's matter?" My heart tightened, and he knew about it, so I stared at him in surprise, and he looked back at me with a calm expression. I took a deep breath, looked serious, stared at him and said: "I don't know what happened in the court." Veins popped up on his forehead, and his face was slightly angry: "If you don't tell me, I know too, 'Moufu, Forcing mothers, killing brothers, slaughtering younger brothers, punishing loyalists...'" I shook my head and stopped his words: "To seek father and force mother, you understand in your heart that the holy ancestor was indeed, indeed passed on to him, and Miss Ruoxi was in the Qianqing Palace at that time. Brother, didn't you know in your heart how Concubine Degui treated you and him back then? Did Concubine Degui's heart really belong to him? Brother Killing, Brother Tu, didn't you live here well?" Fourteen was stunned, and immediately asked me loudly: "Don't tell me what happened to me and tenth brother, what about eighth brother and ninth brother?" The previous sadness in my heart was gone at once, and I said angrily: "Eighth master met me before he died. On the other hand, he left willingly. As for Jiu Ye, there is a cause and an effect, and he did not die at the hands of your fourth brother. Killing brothers and Tu brothers, at least he did not kill his own brothers directly at Xuanwumen. In addition, Zhu Loyalty, those giant greedy beggars who rely on their merits and power to act mischievously, if they are also loyal ministers, then it is a big joke." Fourteen stared at me coldly, with an angry light in his eyes, I took a deep breath, and asked with a wry smile: "Do we have to argue about this when we meet?" He stared at me silently for a while, and said bitterly: "He It's really that good." I sighed helplessly, stood up, and prepared to go back.
