Indulgence in the Red Chamber

It rained continuously for three days and three nights, and finally stopped on the fourth day.

Standing under the eaves of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Kangxi saw that the ripples on the ponded water in the courtyard finally disappeared. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the still gray sky, and sighed: "Has it finally stopped?"

"Long live Bing, the rain has stopped." Li Dequan, the chief eunuch next to Kangxi, said as he bowed and knelt down, "Can Lord Long live come in and rest? You haven't eaten all day. How about this time?" The lotus seed soup that Empress Yifei ordered Xiaotao to send, it's lukewarm, it's just right for you to eat, how about you take a bite?"

"Tremella and lotus seed soup?" Kangxi turned around leisurely, looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl on the red and gold tray held by the maid behind Li De's body, waved her hand, and said lightly: "Concubine Yi's skill in making this soup is not as good as Concubine De."

"Hey." The words couldn't be more clear, Li Dequan hurriedly kowtowed, got up from the ground, and turned around to deliver the message to Defei Palace.

"Stop." Kangxi stopped him, thought for a moment, and said, "The rain has stopped, and I will go out for a walk."

"Hey——" Li Dequan hurriedly agreed, winked at the eunuchs behind him, and then someone ran out to spread the word that Li Dequan and the six or seven eunuchs and maids who usually served surrounded Kangxi and came to the Yonghe Palace where Concubine De lived. .I don't want people to walk halfway, but they are called back.

Zhang Sande, the eunuch of the imperial study, came from behind panting, holding the memorial of the nine-door admiral Kai Yinbu in his hand.

"What happened to be so scorpion-stinged? But there are houses collapsing, and civilian casualties?"

"No...no...yes..., Long Live Lord, this is a secret book, Long Live Lord, look..." Zhang Sande said, and handed over a bright yellow bamboo tube, which was sealed with wax paint and inscribed with a Chinese ink brush. A word 'secret'.

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly opened the small bamboo tube, took out a brocade paper from inside, unfolded it, read it hastily, and ordered Li Dequan: "Go, ask Kai Yinbu to bring the person I'm looking for Come in together! See you in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Lin Ning followed Kai Yinbu through the thresholds of the Forbidden City, and finally entered a relatively independent courtyard in the west of Qianqing Palace and south of the West Sixth Palace: the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

No one lives in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Kangxi rarely comes here.Because it is relatively close to the Qianqing Palace, it is only used as a preparatory place.

When Lin Ning and Kai Yinbu entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi was already waiting inside. Li Dequan was standing beside him, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and eunuchs and maids stood beside him. Everyone dared not breathe.

Because there was an oral order earlier, after Kaiyinbu came, he could go in directly to see Shengjia, so the little eunuch didn't ask for instructions, and directly led the two into the gate of the palace.

"Slave Kai Yinbu kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Kangxi was originally standing with his back to the door, his head slightly raised, as if he was appreciating the landscape painting hanging in the room.The bright yellow Kowloon suit covered his thin figure, Lin Ning knelt on the ground and looked up, only reading a little loneliness from the back.

Kangxi turned around slowly, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, one was a blue-colored official with a red top, the other was wearing a blue shirt, with a thin body, kneeling like a half-grown child.

Li Dequan looked at Kangxi's face, waved his hand quietly, and retreated slowly, and the eunuchs and maids on both sides also retreated silently.Kaiyinbu knelt on the ground anxiously, not daring to raise his head.

"Kayinbu." Kangxi finally spoke, but he sighed softly, "Both of you get up."

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Kaiyinbu let out a long breath, kowtowed his head again, and then slowly got up from the ground. Suddenly, he found that the bricks on the ground were so cold on a hot day, and his knees were covered with ice. perception.

Lin Ning followed Kaiyinbu to stand up, he was mentally prepared.In order to take Daiyu out of Jia's mansion in an open and aboveboard manner, he had to choose this path.Ask the admiral of Jiumen to surrender himself, saying that he is the person the emperor ordered to find, and then come to see his Huang Ama and negotiate with him to achieve his goal.

"You—raise your head and let me see." Kangxi ignored Kai Yinbu and only said to Lin Ning.

Hearing this, Lin Ning raised his head calmly, and looked at Kangxi boldly, his eyes were calm, as clear and pure as the clear sky after rain, without any impurities.

"It's really you." Kangxi suddenly smiled.The corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, but there was a complicated expression in the eyes, "You are back."

"The grass people don't know what the emperor said, so they beg the emperor to forgive their sins." Lin Ning said, and knelt down slowly.

deny!

Yes, it cannot be admitted under any circumstances.

Yinzuo is dead!

Died ten years ago!

Kangxi frowned, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared suddenly, leaving only two sharp eyes staring at Lin Ning: "What did you say?!"

"Lin Ning, a grassroots man, has never seen a holy face, and has never stepped into the Holy Land of the Son of Heaven. So I don't understand what the emperor said, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Lin Ning bowed his head again as he spoke.

"Your name is Lin Ning?"

"Yes."

"Who is your father?"

"Lin Ning doesn't know."

"Then why is your surname Lin?"

"Because I am a servant of the Lin family."

"Are you a slave of the Lin family?"

"No, when the grassroots were wandering on the street, they accidentally bumped into the chariot and horse of the daughter of the Lin family. The horse was frightened, and Miss Lin was almost injured. Afterwards, Miss Lin pityed me for being helpless, so she took me by her side. Miss named a Lord Menglin didn't dislike the word 'Ning', and asked the grass-roots people to be his staff, so the grass-roots people were named Lin Ning."

Kangxi had already known all this from Concubine De.At this time, I asked again and again, but I wanted to find some clues from it.Now it seems that there is no gain.Kangxi looked at Lin Ning carefully again.

Yes, he is his little six.

No wonder Concubine De lost her composure when she saw him, and cried bitterly that it was her lost son ten years ago.When Kangxi himself saw this young man today, he felt the same way.Blood is thicker than water, and the potential connection between parents and children cannot be broken.

"Tell the imperial doctor!" Kangxi shouted in a low voice after looking away from Lin Ning.

"Hey!" There was no outsider in the room, Kai Yinbu hurriedly agreed, then turned and went out to pass on the message.

Li Dequan stood guard at the door, and trembled in fright when he heard the emperor's voice of "passing on the imperial physician", thinking that the emperor was not well.Taking advantage of Kaiyinbu's time to go out, he sneaked a peek inside, and seeing the emperor standing proudly in the room, full of domineering arrogance, he felt relieved, and ordered the servants behind him: "Send the imperial doctor quickly!"

"Your Majesty?" Lin Ning was puzzled, and thought to himself, could it be that you still want to admit your relatives with a drop of blood?

"I heard that there is a disease called amnesia. People will suffer from this disease if they have suffered serious bruises. Since you are here, let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat you. Maybe you can remember something, and you can Not necessarily." Kangxi had no choice but to tell him that Yin Zuo was still alive, and his mind never calmed down for a moment.Among so many sons, his favorite Xiaoliu is still alive. This is a great surprise sent to him by the heavens before he went west to Galdan.

Yinzuo closed his eyes helplessly, heaved a long sigh secretly, and said in his heart: Old man, old man, you can only do this.

"The emperor is wise, I wonder if I can listen to the grass people?" Lin Ning didn't have so much time to spend with his emperor Ama to make mushrooms, he had more important things to do, and thinking of Daiyu living in Rongfu, he was all over the place. uneasy.

"Well, there are no outsiders here, you have something to say but it doesn't matter."

"The emperor said that there is a disease called amnesia. I have heard of this symptom, but I don't know if the emperor has heard of it. There are several types of amnesia, and one of them is called 'selective amnesia'?" Than medical skills?Although you are the emperor, you are no match for me.Lin Ning smirked a few times, and asked in a serious manner.

"Selective amnesia?" Kangxi was puzzled, since he had amnesia, could he still choose?

"Yes. Selective amnesia is when a person receives external stimuli or a brain collision, and forgets some things or people or things that he does not want to remember or escapes." Lin Ning endured the medical skills for the holy king Impulse, patiently explained.

"I don't want to remember things?" Kangxi repeated the three words of "unwilling" repeatedly, and then looked at Lin Ning suspiciously.

It's not that I don't remember, but that I don't want to.

Well!Little Six, you and your Huang Ama are still doing Tai Chi!

"Yes. From a biological point of view, this may also be a way of self-protection. Anyone who is alive is afraid of harm. But harm cannot be avoided. As long as we live in this world, harm will be inevitable. They are everywhere. And the most direct way is to forget about them, so that people can live more easily and freely." Lin Ning looked at Kangxi without hesitation, meeting his eyes calmly.

Yes, sir, did I make it clear enough?I don't want to admit the past, if you still love me, please help me.

Kangxi's gaze became playful.Without the original fierce aura, the faint smile on the corner of his mouth also quietly bloomed.He stared at Lin Ning for a while, then suddenly laughed and turned around.

Now it was Lin Ning's turn to be stunned.

Could it be that this old man was driven mad by himself?

"Good! Good! Good!" Kangxi walked two steps in with a smile, and sat down on the low kang he usually made. Fang looked at Lin Ning again, pointed to a chair beside him, and said, "You sit Bar."

"Grassmen dare not."

"You are not a grassroots." Kangxi looked at Lin Ning with a smile. "You are really a grassroots. Even if you lend him twenty guts, he would not dare to talk nonsense in front of me."

"Lin Ning dare not." Lin Ning was so angry, you old fox has already seen who I am, why do you still need to find the imperial doctor?Pretending to be decent, who are you scaring?

"My Xiaoliu has been afraid of imperial physicians since she was a child. Do you know?" Kangxi asked Lin Ning with a loving smile.

"Uh, Lin Ning doesn't know." Lin Ning lowered his head, but muttered in his heart: How can I not know?Those quack doctors in Tai Hospital once caused themselves to eat bitter medicine for half a month because they treated themselves for a cough.

From then on, Lin Ning ran away when he saw the imperial doctor, and even scolded the imperial doctor that they were all animals.So he suffers from multiple diseases by himself, but he is very stubborn, because of this, he has been scolded by Kangxi a lot.

"Well, you don't know. But I know." Kangxi looked at Lin Ning who was still standing, and said angrily, "Why, how dare you resist the order?"

"Ah? Lin Ning dare not."

"Then why are you still standing when I let you sit down?"

Hey, yeah.The emperor asked you to sit down, but you are still standing, isn't it against the decree?Lin Ning sighed, and obediently sat on the chair next to Kangxi.
