Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Saoqin was unconscious for several days, and finally died of his injuries the day before returning to the capital.

Saoqin is just Yinreng's concubine, and she has no status. According to the rules, if she dies, there is a place to bury her, but the standard is not high.What's more, all those buried in that place were dead court ladies, because in the final analysis, Saoqin was only Yinreng's court ladies in name.

Even with her status, it is not acceptable to set up a spiritual seat in Yuqing Palace.

However, Saoqin is not an ordinary court lady, she gave birth to Yinreng's fourth son Hongdan, so Kangxi specifically allowed Yinreng to set up a spiritual seat for Saoqin in Yuqing Palace, and also allowed Saoqin to set up another place The burial does not need to be buried in the place where the maids are buried in the palace, it can be regarded as a place for Saoqin to rest.

However, Kangxi did not raise the identity of Saoqin, and only asked Shi to adopt Saoqin's youngest son Hongdan. However, Yinreng thought silently in his heart that if he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will definitely follow up as a concubine of Saoqin.

She is worthy of this concubine.

Sweeping the piano did not stop. After returning to the capital, the Ministry of Internal Affairs chose a place and buried her directly.

On the first night after returning to Beijing, Yinfeng was sleepless, and after the night was quiet, he was still sitting silently in front of the spiritual seat of sweeping the piano.

Shi Shi settled the children down, went to Hongdan again, searched everywhere for Yinreng, but after thinking about it for a while, he came to the house where the piano used to live to look for Yinreng. Seeing the flickering candlelight, Yin Reng was sitting in front of the coffin, his eyes were downcast and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The shadow of the lamp was scattered on Yinreng's face, Shi Shi was standing by the door, looking at it from her angle, it was impossible to see Yinreng's expression clearly.

She sighed softly, walked slowly to Yinreng, burned incense in front of the spirit, closed her eyes and prayed silently for a moment, then slowly squatted down and looked at Yinreng at the same level.

After seeing this, she was startled to realize that Yinreng's eyes were red and his face was full of tears.

Shi's heart ached, he stretched out his hand to grab Yinfeng's arm and said, "...Yinfeng, I was wrong."

If she didn't do anything unnecessary and asked Yinreng to take the sweeping piano out to relax, such a thing would not have happened.

When Yinreng was in danger, Saoqin stepped forward and sacrificed his life to save Yinreng.As Yinreng's wife, Shi Shi is very grateful for Sao Qin's behavior. Because of Sao Qin's sacrifice, Yinfeng was safe and sound; A strong self-blame was tormenting her heart, and all of this was caused by her.

"What's wrong with you? I'm the one who's wrong."

Yinfeng smiled wryly: "I promised you to take her out, but I didn't protect her well. Hongdan is still so young, but he lost his biological mother... Who can blame these, but me."

Mentioning Hongdan made Yinreng's heart ache even more, and Hongdan didn't even have time to see the last side of Saoqin.And Saoqin didn't even leave any words for him and Hongdan, just quietly ended her life in a coma.

Shi Shi didn't want to see Yinreng suffer so much, so he sat down beside him, then hugged him and said, "No, Yinreng, I don't blame you for this. You didn't think of such a thing before you left. You couldn't have expected something like this to happen, so how can you blame it?"

In fact, it was still her fault, if it wasn't for her, Yinfeng would never have taken the sweeping piano out.If you don't take the sweeping piano out, even if there is an assassination, the sweeping piano will not die.But what if Yinfeng is injured?

Thinking of this, Shi Shi suddenly felt a little dazed and doubted, she didn't want to kill the piano, and she didn't want Yinfeng to be injured, what should I do?

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said again: "Yinfeng, it's not our fault, it's the one who tried to assassinate you. If it wasn't his mastermind, how could there be the sacrifice of sweeping the piano? So, you must not commit suicide by yourself. After Huang Ama finds out the truth, he punishes the mastermind behind the scenes, which means revenge for sweeping the piano."

Shi thought she had found a way to comfort and relieve Yinfeng, but how could she know that these words poked Yinfeng's heart even more.

"The mastermind behind the scenes?"

Tears flickered in Yinfeng's eyes, and then he smiled wryly, "Yuheng, let me tell you, what happened this time was a game I set up. It was a game I set up to get rid of Yinti's threat. If If you have to say who is behind the scenes, it should be me. Even if Yinti did this, it was also caused by my secret guidance."

"So, I'm the one who killed Saoqin, do you understand?"

The matter had already been settled, and there was no outsider here, so Yinfeng told Shi Shi how he set up a situation, how to get Yinzhen to find Zhang Mingde, and how to guide Yinti to act, and finally lowered his eyes and said: "I know that this trip is dangerous, and I will be injured. I could have gone without sweeping the piano, but I still took her. No matter what I felt at the time, I still hurt her, you Say, isn't it my fault?"

At that time, he was soft-hearted about sweeping the piano, but in the end he made a big mistake.

Shi Shi was a little shocked by the truth Yinfeng said, which was so different from what she knew, even the opposite.

Shi was silent for a while, and then said: "Yinfeng, although you are the person who set up the situation, you can't account for everything. I still think that this is an accident, and you can't blame everything for sweeping the piano. .”

Naturally, she couldn't follow Yinreng's words at this time, otherwise, Yinreng would definitely blame herself even more, which was not what she wanted to see.

Unexpectedly, Shi's words of consolation and persuasion actually have no effect on Yinreng.

Yinfeng has been caught in his own emotions and cannot extricate himself. These emotions are entangled in his heart. If he is willing to vent these emotions, he may be able to get rid of them; if he continues to bury these emotions in his heart, then he Sooner or later you will be consumed by these emotions.

Yinreng understood his current situation very well. Although he didn't take Shi's words to heart or listen to them, he didn't intend to bury his thoughts deeply. If he didn't take advantage of this moment to say something, he would Afraid that I would really collapse.

So, after a long silence, Yinfeng opened his mouth.

"In any case, from the beginning to the end, I owe everything to Sweep. Now, I owe her my life even more. But what she wants most, I can't give her, and I can't pay her back .”

After hearing this, Shi Shi looked at Yinfeng, and found that the man who made her feel bad was staring at her very seriously, his eyes were red, and there were tears in them.

At that moment, Shi Shi suddenly understood that what Yinfeng needs at this moment is not comfort and relief, but listening.

Thinking of this, Shi sat down beside Yinreng, looked at him silently, and didn't speak anymore, just waiting for Yinreng to speak.

"The rules in the palace, after the princes and elder brothers wake up, they have to choose a palace lady to serve people, and then this maid will serve with the elder brothers. If you are lucky, you may still have a future. Like the little maid next to Ti, Xiao Yan'er, she will fend for herself if she loses her favor, no one cares about their lives."

Yinfeng said, "But even so, there are still many little maids who are willing to do such a thing. They always think, what if they are spotted by elder brothers? What if they are pregnant? , how can there be so many lucky ones, most of them are those court ladies whose bodies have been ruined for nothing."

"Yuheng, do you know why I only care about this matter? The elder brothers all think that this matter is very common, and I am the only one who is somewhat uncomfortable with such a fate. But I know, I can't change it on my own, but I'm not willing to compromise, at least, I don't want to waste those court ladies like them."

Shi Shi listened silently, but she was thinking in her heart, how lucky she is to meet such a crown prince who knows how to cherish her.

"Huang Ama is naturally very concerned about my affairs. He personally chose three maids for me, but I don't want to pick them. Others think that I have high vision and look down on these maids. In fact, I don't like them. I am willing to ruin them, and I don't touch them. In my opinion, it is for their own good! But after all, because of my stubbornness in this matter, it caused a big or small disturbance. In the end, I could only compromise. And the result of the compromise is that I don't want those three maids, but choose to sweep the piano."

Shi Shi pursed her lips and said: "Actually, if you don't choose them, they may not be able to escape such a fate in the future. Yinfeng, you said you are doing it for their own good, but is it really for their own good? They don't understand you Even the people around you don't understand your thoughts."

"You don't understand my thoughts, do you?" Yinfeng smiled wryly, "Actually, what I think is very simple. If the relationship between men and women is ruthless, what is the difference with sex/coupling? If it has to be like this, I would rather choose to sweep the piano Anyway, she gets along with me day and night, she is my personal maid, and she understands each other a bit, which is better than those strangers. Saoqin is a transparent person, and she is actually afraid. I told her, no She was relieved to let her down. She was relieved, and I was also relieved. "

Upon hearing this, Shi Shi sighed: "It's her blessing that Saoqin can follow you. You treat her with affection, and I've seen her treat you with affection over the years."

Shi Shi has seen all the things between Yinfeng and Saoqin these years.Even before Shi Shi came, Shi Shi also knew something about Yinfeng and Saoqin from Gu Shi.She is feeling so emotional now because she is lamenting the affection between Yinreng and Saoqin, and she did not expect that Yinreng's affection for Saoqin is so deep.

"Yuheng, you are wrong,"

Yinreng looked at Shi, with impatience in his eyes, "I treat her well not because of affection for her, but because of responsibility. Speaking of it, even Minning and Yantao, I am also ruthless to them. Treating them well is only because I should be responsible for their lives."

It was really cruel to say this in front of Sao Qin Ling.
