Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-Second Sorrow The Emperor's Heavenly Weak Women Suffer Poison and Die with Caution

If Aunt Su Ma didn't go to meet Wei Dongting first, but first came to Jiaxing Building to meet Cui Gu, it might have been another result, but it's too late now.When she got off the sedan chair, she saw a group of people gathered around the door, whispering to each other.The female shopkeeper of Jiaxing Building—the owner of the hotel downstairs was crying, but couldn't make out what he was saying. Aunt Su Ma had already heard that someone was dead, she immediately gave a "buzz" sound, and regardless of the crowd, she pushed aside the crowd and squeezed into the shop, and went up the stairs in three steps to find Cui Gu.The little eunuch who drove the car here even threatened to drive everyone away: "Men, Prince Heshuo Gege is here to see Miss Cui, and our prince will also come after a while, so you should go away if you have nothing to do!" , as soon as I heard that the prince's family had come, I was afraid that I would have something to do with the prince, so the whip was the next best thing, and it would not be worthwhile to squat in the prison temple for a night.After listening for a while, there was no news, so they went away separately.

Aunt Su Ma came upstairs and saw several women making paper horses and palanquins in the east room, arranging sacrificial items and other items. Seeing her come in, a middle-aged woman came over, gave her a blessing, and asked in a low voice : "Are you here to see Aunt Cui, she...has become a fairy. Su Macigu opened the door and was stunned. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move. The room was filled with plain curtains and white curtains, surrounded by cigarettes. There was a memorial tablet on the table in the middle, which read: The Spiritual Tablet of Wu's Qiuyue, a martyr in Hejian

On the side are two pictures of Su Lian, with bloodstains all over them. If you are not loyal, how can you be unfilial?Dreaming back to Yuntai to worship kindness; ——The next couplet: It's hard to get rid of it, which one is hard to beat?The soul returns to the underworld to hope for Chang'an! There is a small line next to it, the book: Aunt weeps blood to save herself What is even more shocking is that Cuigu is wearing full makeup, black eyebrows, rouge face, eyes slightly closed, smiling, sitting on the chair behind the memorial tablet! For a while, Lagu Su Ma was in a nightmare.No matter what, she couldn't believe that the woman in palace attire with a faint fragrance and soul in front of her was the hard-spoken young woman who stopped a car to save her half a month ago.Why do you want to die when you are alive and well?

Staying in this quiet upstairs, and seeing this strange sacrifice, Aunt Su Ma suddenly felt a sense of terror in her heart, and she wanted to step back, but there was also a strange force that attracted her and refused to leave. The middle-aged woman saw her expression of solemn awe, knelt down and asked, "Who are you from Cuigu?" Aunt Su Ma had an idea, and said: "Mingzhu is my elder brother. He can't come, so he told me to come and have a look. This kind of thing happened..." "Since Eldest Sister is from Master Ming's family, please ask Eldest Sister to forward this letter to Master Ming." After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Before Miss Cui died, she asked me to give this to Master Ming... When La Aunt Su Ma took it and read it, it was a common letter in the market, with a line of cursive script in the middle, and it was written: Brother Mingzhu, and the next paragraph is: Cuigu Zhixin Letter.He asked in a trembling voice: "This is too unexpected, why did it go well..."

The woman took out a Supa from her waist to wipe her tears and said: "I don't quite understand. I heard from the old woman downstairs that Mr. Hu came to find Cuigu last night dressed in earthy clothes. Cuigu cried for half the night, and this morning she sent invitations to invite some of our singing sisters to come, but she swallowed mercury and sat on a chair, unable to move....Just handed this letter to me, smiling Say: 'Give Mingzhu—' and then I can't say a word..." Aunt Su Ma left Jiaxing Tower and returned to the mansion full of sadness. Under the blood-red sunset, the maid on duty saw her coming back, and hurriedly greeted her and said, "Long Live Lord went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects. I have left a few for my sister." Veggie buns, I told my sister not to eat oily meat, so I asked her to change the taste!" La Aunt Su Ma was stunned, and then realized that she had returned to the Forbidden City.So he forced a smile and said, "Let's just leave it there, I'll eat it later." Then he lifted the curtain and went back to his own room, where he fell on the couch like a loose shelf.

She carefully took out the letter. Seeing that it was unsealed, she was obviously not afraid of being read by others, so she turned inside, and under the dim candlelight, she took out the plain note inside, and saw that it read: Mingzhu Xiongtai Jian: Juansheng Yumeng, from now on, I will travel with my brother for a lifetime!Slave is not born lightly and is more important than the dead. It is difficult for him to advance and retreat. He is exhausted physically and mentally. .There is a spirit in the vast sky, and I will repay my brother's nostalgia in the next life. Sister Cuigu cried blood in Jiaxing Building

Aunt Su Ma was crying after reading it, but when she heard footsteps behind her, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up, but Kangxi had already walked up to him with a smile: "I'm tired today, and I should go out to relax when I'm tired. Just lying down will make you sick. What you are holding in your hand was written by Mr. Wu." Only then did La Aunt Su Ma realize that Cui Gu's suicide note was still in her hand, she quickly covered it up and said, "It's nothing, it's something written by someone else, I happened to see it and took it for a look."

"Since Mr. Wu didn't give it to you," Kangxi stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you let me come and have a look." Aunt Su Ma had no choice but to hold the letter with both hands, and said in a low voice; "Long live, Aunt Cui died. gone." Kangxi's complexion changed drastically immediately, he hurriedly grabbed the letter, read it hastily, his complexion became paler, he returned the suicide note to Lagu Su Ma with trembling hands, and asked, "What's going on here?" Aunt Su Ma told Kangxi in detail what she had just seen in Jiaxing Tower.Kangxi listened silently, nodded and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity—do you know? 'First Lord' means the former Ming, and 'Later Lord' means me. I can't choose between the two, and the trouble of love makes it difficult Feeling restless and burning inside, I had no choice but to go this way.”

"That shouldn't be a dead end." Aunt Su Ma wiped away her tears and said, "Is it okay to become a monk? Long Live Lord pointed out a temple for her to practice, isn't it good?" Kangxi smiled wryly and said, "Thanks to you being a Buddhist disciple, you can only be a monk who is emptied of all four elements and who is discouraged. She is so chaotic and unable to get rid of it! I'm afraid that Hu Gongshan will follow the path you mentioned. It’s a pity that I can’t use this person.” At this point, he paused, and then said again after a long time, “I also know a little about Hu Gongshan. He is different from Cuigu. Ming is relying on Wu Sangui, who can't do anything in front of me. Hey, both Cuigu and Hu Gongshan have contributed to me, and they originally wanted to be kind, but now... can't think of it?"

Seeing that Kangxi looked sad and distressed, Aunt Su Ma had no choice but to cheer him up and comfort him: "It's only because she is unlucky and can't bear the grace of Lord Long Live. Alright—let's not talk about this, let's talk about myself It’s about Mr. Wu’s place. If Long Live doesn’t go, I’m afraid it will be revealed.” "I must go." Kangxi said, "Did you see him today?" "He has already become suspicious, thinking about which prince's heir is Long Live Lord." Aunt Su Ma thought of Wu Ciyou's innocent face, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said: "I have seen Xiao Wei too. When it arrived, they said, Wu Liuyi had to ask Long Live's grace to write a secret letter to him."

Only then did Kangxi realize that he was tired of standing, so he sat down on a chair and said, "That's easy to handle, the position surnamed Wu is a bit lower. I originally wanted to give him the vacancy of the governor of Guangdong. —— The court has something to call Wu Don't be impatient on June 1st. ——I don't want to explain this clearly, I just know it in my heart. Go and wait for the pen and ink." La Aunt Su Ma returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where there was a ready-made copy of the imperial edict, she took out a blank copy from the package, brought a pen, ink and cinnabar, and spread it out with both hands.Kangxi rolled up his sleeves and picked up a pen to write Confucianism and ink: The change of Wu Liuyi's position as the admiral of the Beijing Nine Gates will not be accepted without my own handwritten order. Think about it, and add another sentence: Responsibility for Wu Liuyi to control the patrol departments of the five cities together, and the assistants below the third grade of the hall officials will be vacant, and the official will be dismissed temporarily, and the imperial edict will be issued in the future.This! After finishing writing, he took out a jade seal from his bosom, which was a portable treasure he had recently activated.It is specially used for secret edict.The four characters "Master of Tiyuan" are engraved on it - using cinnabar mud, and the heavy bells are placed on it, and the end is very bright.Aunt Su Ma hurriedly stretched out her hands to catch it. "Slow!" Kangxi's words suddenly became very heavy.Aunt Su Ma watched him grow up, and never heard him speak in such a tone, "When this edict is in his hands, it will belong to Wu Liuyi inside and outside. My wealth is better than my life, too. The fate of the Empress Dowager and you depends on this person, so don't be careless!" Aunt Su Ma was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly understood.She couldn't help admiring Kangxi's hard work, so she said in a low voice: "Long live is very worried, but what should we do?" "That's it," Kangxi mused for a moment and lowered his voice, "Wanniang, this edict is for him. I will give Xiao Weizi another personal edict, telling him to act according to Wu Liuyi's movements, so as to prevent accidents. Change. Little Wei Zi has always been loyal and filial, and will never have second thoughts, not to mention Grandma Sun," he suddenly stopped and stopped talking. Without going any further, Aunt Su Ma also fully understands that Aunt Sun is under the control of Kangxi.This is indeed foolproof, but Aunt Su Ma never expected that this emperor who had been playing hide-and-seek with him, this sensible, hearty and amiable young emperor, was so suspicious that he couldn't help but fight. I shivered.He forced a smile and said: "Xiao Weizi is only a third-class bodyguard, I'm afraid Pin Zhi won't be able to suppress him..." "What's so difficult about this?" Kangxi said coldly, "Tomorrow I will commend him and promote him to be a first-class bodyguard!"
