The Love of the Red Chamber

In the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De looked at the pile of things that appeared in her room at some time with fear on her face. She hugged it with a black cloth. Faint stench.But she recognized a shiny thing in the middle of that pile of dark things.Because it was originally hers, although no one knew about it.She bought it herself when she was 13 years old and gave it to that person herself.

"Regardless of life or death... never to see each other... really never to see each other again?" Concubine De's expression was rare and sad, but no matter what, she didn't have the courage to touch the pile of things on the table.What made her even more frightened was that these things appeared in her room. Does that mean that someone knew about it?No...impossible!She has been doing it very secretly these years, and no one has ever known that she has such a helper in the palace.But... these things... No, the fourth child must not be allowed to get that position, he will definitely kill her Zhen'er!Zhen'er...Zhen'er is just outside the city...she wants to help him...

Thinking of this, he hastily hid the pile of things under his bed, changed into ordinary clothes and took the badge of leaving the palace to save his Yonghe Palace.But she was stopped by Concubine Yi at the gate of the palace, "Where does Sister De Concubine want to go?"

Concubine De concubine looked at Concubine Yi, who was approaching gracefully and gracefully, her expression froze immediately, and she forced a smile and said, "Why is your concubine here?" ?”

"Nothing." Concubine De said.

Concubine Yi's complexion darkened, and she said: "Sister De Concubine, if she wants to leave the palace dressed like this, she should know that there are express regulations in the palace that concubines are not allowed to leave the palace without the imperial decree. If they want to walk around the palace, this outfit is only for you. I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Concubine De's expression was not very good looking, she looked at Concubine Yi and said: "The emperor is not in the palace now, can't I want to wear something light?"

Concubine Yi said indifferently: "Sister De Concubine wants to do what she wants in her own palace, no one can blame others. I'm afraid it won't work like this now. Come on, Concubine De doesn't respect the palace rules and is confined to Yonghe Palace for a month. Please go back to Concubine De. Concubine De was shocked. Today she had to find a way to see Yinzhen no matter what. She stepped forward and stared at Concubine Yi coldly and said: "Madam, I am afraid you do not have this right. This palace is also the head of the palace. Only the emperor Only this right!"

Concubine Yi sneered and said: "It is the right that the emperor gave to this palace. Come, please return to the palace!" The two maids stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Please return to the palace." Pushing them away with a wave of his hand, "I won't return, I see you are... ah, presumptuous!" The two maids took a step forward, and supported Concubine De from left to right, seeming to be gently supporting Concubine De As long as you struggle a little, the place where you are caught will feel like a needle prick, "You are bold! You... are not from the palace!" These two court ladies are too strange, and ordinary court ladies do not have such means.

Concubine Yi nodded and said: "They were specially sent to the palace by Princess Yong to accompany Sister Defei. This can be regarded as the filial piety of a daughter-in-law, and Sister Defei should accept it with a smile. To avoid embarrassing them. These two girls are rough people , it would be bad if I accidentally fucked my sister." The words were soft and gentle, but the threat in the words was obvious.

Concubine De changed color and said: "I am her mother-in-law after all, the fourth daughter-in-law is so daring..." Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Sister De Concubine, I advise you to think it through before you speak. Do you think that if the emperor didn't know, Princess Yong would be so daring?" Concubine De's face turned pale immediately, "Your majesty... Your majesty knows..." Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine De indifferently, with a low voice She smiled and said: "Sister Defei, I advise you to forget it. The most prestigious position in this palace will never be your turn. You... will always be under Sister Ling." The people around him left without even looking at Concubine De.

The two maids who stayed beside Concubine De respectfully said: "Concubine De, please go back to the palace." Concubine De had no choice but to go back to the palace first under the condition of being half held hostage by the concubine De.

The Lin Mansion in the capital is also where the current Northern Dark Pavilion is stationed.For more than a month, this place has been more than ten times busier than the previous years combined.The incident in the palace last month taught everyone a great lesson. Although nothing happened in the end, the dark pavilion also lost nearly fifteen masters.This made the principals have to face the fact that they have been too proud and defiant over the years, which caused such a big loss, and even made Daiyu, who is the master of the pavilion, almost harmless.This is not the biggest loss since the establishment of the Dark Pavilion, but it is definitely the worst mistake that should have happened.Therefore, before Daiyu ordered, countless news files were delivered to her desk continuously.

Daiyu frowned and looked at the file in her hand, feeling that something was wrong.Concubine De, Yinzhen and Yinzhen should not have such a great ability anyway, they can bring so many people to the capital without anyone noticing without causing any disturbance, even in the case of the serious negligence of the secret cabinet .The murderer who assassinated the fourth brother last time has not been found yet. Could it be that they checked the wrong direction from the beginning?

Qianqianyu tapped the table with her fingers, and Daiyu filtered all kinds of relationships in the capital one by one in her mind.

"Yuhan, how is the eighth elder brother recently?" Jiang Yuhan said: "Ever since the eighth elder brother was reprimanded by the emperor in 49, he has been very quiet.Later, after the death of Concubine Liang, it became even more silent.Therefore, Elder Brother Ten has not been in contact with them for more than a year.Brother Nine often goes to Eighth Master's house, but at the same time he also starts to cooperate with Fourteenth Master. "

Daiyu shook her head and said: "No. Let's not talk about the intelligence of the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. Their power is not enough to do this. There must be someone secretly helping. Please check the eighth elder brother and Concubine Liang carefully. " Jiang Yuhan raised his eyebrows and said: "Fu Jin suspects the eighth elder brother and the good concubine?" Probably because of not being favored, the good concubine was considered a rare concubine in the palace before her death, and the eighth elder brother was also very concerned after the death of the good concubine. low-key.Daiyu said: "I used to feel that something was wrong when I saw Concubine Liang. She is from Xin Zheku's lowly background. Logically speaking, Huang Ama would never meet her anyway." Jiang Yuhan said: "Before this matter I have also checked, it seems that some people are dissatisfied, but the emperor dotes on Empress Xiaoyi, and it is intentional."

Daiyu shook her head and said: "It's still not right, even if someone took advantage of Concubine Liang. But what is the result now? Concubine Liang is not favored as expected, but her son... If it wasn't for Yinhu fucking at that time It’s too urgent, the current situation will definitely be very different. In fact, no one has seriously paid attention to the identity of Concubine Liang.”

"The identity of Concubine Liang?" Jiang Yuhan was puzzled. Concubine Liang was born in a humble family, and everyone knew it.

Daiyu picked up the dossier that recorded Concubine Liang on the table and said calmly: "It seems that no one has ever paid attention to Concubine Liang's family background."

Jiang Yuhan looked down and saw that Abu Nai, the father of the good concubine, was originally a Mongolian prince, but was stripped of his title and executed for "gratitude and disrespect".The whole family entered the Xinzhe library.The Prince of Mongolia... Everyone knows about this, but few people really pay attention to it. For one thing, it doesn't matter how high the status is before most people enter Xinzheku.Second, Concubine Liang entered Xinzheku at a very young age, so it was difficult to have any contact with the outside world.Jiang Yuhan said with a serious expression: "Yuhan will go to investigate the details of Concubine Liang immediately." Daiyu nodded and said: "It is in the deep palace after all, it is very inconvenient. Be careful."

"Fu Jin is at ease."

After Jiang Yuhan left, Daiyu's face was slightly gloomy, and she looked at the file on the table casually, "Concubine Liang..." She still remembered Concubine Liang's appearance the day before her death.If she really did it, Daiyu really admires this woman's forbearance.After thinking about it, if it was for his son, maybe he could really do it.

On the second night, a new dossier of the good concubine was placed in front of Daiyu and Yinzhen.

Concubine Liang was originally the concubine daughter of Mongolian Prince Abu Nai, and she was only six years old when she entered Xinzheku.But with her is her own aunt, and many clansmen.In the 20th year of Kangxi, after the concubine Liang gave birth to the eighth prince Yinhu, she was named a nobleman, and there was no special behavior during this period.After being conferred the title of concubine in the 39th year of Kangxi, she was bestowed with living in Xianfu Palace.It is said that Concubine Liang is kind by nature, and she is very kind to the nobles in the palace and even the court ladies and eunuchs.Later, she became a good concubine.Concubine Liang promoted three people overtly or secretly during this period.One of them is the current manager of Yinhu's mansion, and the other two have never had any interaction with Concubine Liang.But one of the eunuchs is now the deputy director of the respect room, and his status is only under Li Dequan.Moreover, Li Dequan served Kangxi closely, and was usually busy with affairs, and many things were handled by the deputy manager.The other one was the personal maid next to Concubine Liang of Xianfu Palace. Later, after leaving the palace at the age of 25, she married a captain of the guard who was in charge of guarding the palace gate.His son was thirteen years old, and now he is the steward of a Zhuangzi under Yinhu's name.Also, after the death of Concubine Liang, two maids in her palace hanged themselves to death.The identities of these two court ladies are unknown, but they were sent to the palace by Yinhu from the House of Internal Affairs in the 45th year of Kangxi.

Yinzhen threw it on the table after reading it.Daiyu frowned and said: "We have always underestimated the concubine Liang." Who said that the most powerful person must be the most proud one?Sometimes people hiding in the dark give you a knife when people are not paying attention, that is the most deadly.Yinzhen said: "I just don't understand what Lao Ba wants to do?" At that time, if someone assassinated Prince Yong's mansion, even if he succeeded, it would not do him any good.And if it really succeeds, I'm afraid that the death of a nine-door admiral will not be able to solve the problem.When the fire burns to Yinhu's body, even if Yinhu hides deeply and doesn't involve himself, his vitality will be seriously injured.

Daiyu said: "Could it be that he didn't think about anything at all, he just wanted to see us mess up?" Daiyu guessed.She has seen Yinhu many times, but since Concubine Liang passed away, every time she saw Yinhu's indifferent smiling face, she would feel very uncomfortable.And those eyes, they don't have the gentle and refined feeling that they usually give people, and they don't even have ambitions. They just feel extremely empty, but they don't seem to be giving up, because sometimes they will surge Something startling.Now Daiyu understood a little bit, it was the madness to destroy.

"Lao Ba will not do things without purpose." Having been brothers for decades, Yinzhen still knows Yinhu very well.Daiyu leaned on Yinzhen's shoulder, and said, "What if his purpose is to disrupt all this? Fourth brother, I'm afraid we should be more careful with eighth brother." Daiyu believed in her own feelings, Yinhu's It feels more dangerous than anyone else, including Yinzhen, who has been targeting Yinzhen, does not have this feeling.But Yinhu didn't seem to want to target them.Anyway, be careful.

Yinzhen sneered and said: "After this time, if there is another time, there is no need for the Dark Pavilion to exist!"

Thinking of how desperate Jiang Yuhan, Liu Xianglian and others have been during this time, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.But soon he put away his smile, looked at Yinzhen curiously and said, "Fourth brother is so powerful, can't you count it?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it? What do you count?" Daiyu said, "Those Half immortals can tell fortunes, fourth brother is a god, don't you know how to count?" Yinzhen looked at Daiyu in a good mood and said, "Dai'er remembered something?" He had never told Daiyu Are you a god or a fairy.Daiyu smiled and said: "Dai'er is Dai'er. She is called Lin Daiyu now, and I don't know anything else." Huang Ama asked her to chat with her yesterday, and she had already promised Huang Ama to tie her fourth brother here in a moment of resignation. , so I had to wrong my fourth brother.What's more, even if she remembered something, she was still a person, and she didn't have any mana or spells, so she didn't know.

Tapping Daiyu's Qiong nose, Yinzhen said with a low smile: "Naughty. If these trivial things still abuse magic, the world will not be in chaos?" Daiyu tilted her head and thought, isn't it? If Hui'er appeared in the world, then there must be more than the two of them who know magic in this world. If everyone uses magic to do this or that, the world will be in chaos.Daiyu turned around and hugged Yinzhen and said, "Then fourth brother, let's stop using spells, okay?" Yinzhen nodded lightly.Try not to use it, if those people really pissed him off, he can't control Tian Gang's chaos.Anyway, heaven and earth dare not do anything to him.

On December 52th in the [-]nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi was critically ill and urgently recruited the princes to Changchun Garden to wait for the order.

Outside the Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden, all the princes knelt outside the door and waited for the summons.

Li Dequan walked out from the inside lightly, looked at the people outside and said: "The emperor has a decree, and the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong, will have an audience." Yinzhen got up and walked in with Li Dequan, and Yinzhen said gloomyly behind him: "We They are both Huang Ama's sons, why did Huang Ama summon him alone?" Yinzhen turned his head and gave Yinzhen a cold look, Yinzhen suddenly lost his voice and dared not speak anymore, Li Dequan said: "Return to the ninth master If so, Lord Long Live has summoned the fourth master at this time. Please be patient with the ninth master." After speaking, he stopped looking at Yinzhen and led Yinzhen to meet Kangxi inside.

No one knows what Kangxi said to Yinzhen.Half an hour later, Li Dequan announced that all the princes were present.When the princes entered, they saw Kangxi lying on the bed with a sallow complexion, panting, and a weakness he had never seen before.This is indeed the first time that the princes saw Kangxi in the past two months since Prince Yong's Mansion, but they didn't expect it to look like this.Here and there is still the wise and mighty Emperor Kangxi from before, just an old man lying on the bed and dying soon.

"Huang Ama..." The youngest person present at this time is the twenty-year-old elder brother Yinwei, who is only seven years old.Seeing Kangxi like this, he immediately jumped on him and burst into tears.Kangxi patted his head weakly and said: "Don't be afraid... I'm fine..." Then he looked at the prince kneeling on the ground below and said indifferently: "I have nothing to tell you ...In the future, I won't be here, you can make as much noise as you like. It's just... ahem, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen in the future. You can do your own thing."

The third elder brother Yinzhi hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, you will definitely get better. The sons and ministers are not filial, and I dare not let Huang Ama worry about it anymore." Kangxi looked at him and said lightly: "You have always been a filial person. , take care of yourself in the future." When Kangxi said this, Yinzhi's heart sank suddenly, he understood the meaning of these words, and he was indeed not destined to be an heir.I don't know if I'm tired or what.Kangxi closed his eyes and said: "Brother Fourteen still hasn't entered the city?" Li Dequan whispered beside Kangxi's bed: "Go back to the emperor, Lord Fourteen is still stationed outside the city." Kangxi said: "Forget it, Zhang Tingyu, let's announce the decree .”

"Hey." De Zhang Tingyu, who had been standing respectfully in the corner, stepped forward, read the imperial decree from the table on one side and unfolded: "By heaven's blessing, the emperor said: The fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, has a noble character and is as precious as I bow, and he will be able to overcome it." Inherit the great order, follow me to ascend the throne, that is, the emperor's throne..." After a long period of imperial decree was read, Kangxi on the bed had closed his eyes and calmly stopped breathing.

Li Dequan wailed, knelt down beside Kangxi's bed and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Zhang Tingyu stepped forward to look at Kangxi, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor has passed away."

"Huang Ama!..." Immediately, the whole room was full of crying.Some people were crying mournfully, some were crying loudly, and the whole room was full of noise.Until Zhang Tingyu coughed lightly and walked up to Yinzhen and said in a low voice: "Fourth master... the emperor has passed away, please ask fourth master to preside over the overall situation. To fix the hearts of the people in the world." Yinzhen nodded and got up from the ground Just as he was about to speak, Yinzhen suddenly heard him say coldly: "Zhang Tingyu, the imperial decree in your hand is really Huang Ama's edict to inherit the throne?" What do you mean? This is of course an edict to pass on the throne." Yinzhen also stood up from the ground, and said with a sneer: "I don't suspect that this is not the edict to pass on the throne, but I suspect that the meaning of the edict is not the meaning of Huang Ama! All Everyone knows that Huang Ama loves the fourteenth younger brother, so how could he pass the throne to the fourth brother?" Zhang Tingyu said lightly: "The emperor naturally knows which master to pass the throne to is really good for the Qing Dynasty. This just shows that Da Xing The emperor is holy. He will never abolish the public for personal reasons."

"Anyway, I just don't believe it!" Yinzhen turned around and wanted to go out and said, "The fourteenth brother is just outside the city, let's invite him to come into the city to make a theory!" Zhang Tingyu said: "Under the edict of Emperor Daxing, the ninth master is Do you want to exterminate yourself from the first emperor, from your ancestors?" Yinzhen ignored Zhang Tingyu's warning.In his eyes, even if Zhang Tingyu was Kangxi's most trusted confidant, he was just a Han Chinese.Just about to lift the curtain and go out, Yinzhen said behind him: "Aixinjueluo Yinzhen, you go out and try." Yinzhen smiled coldly, opened the curtain but quickly retreated back, with a look on his face. Looking at Yinzhen angrily, he said, "Fourth brother! You..."

Yinzhen snorted coldly and ignored him.Just standing there indifferently, full of majesty.Yinqi, Yinyou and Yinqi lowered their heads after a few moments.Others did not dare to say anything.

Seeing that the scene was shocked, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.Flicking his sleeves, he knelt down and bowed down, "Minister Zhang Tingyu kowtows to the emperor."

"Kowtow to the emperor!" The elder brothers and everyone who stayed in the room all knelt down, only Yinhu and Yinhu were still standing.Yin'e tugged on Yinzhen's sleeve indiscriminately.He was pulled back by Yinzhen again and had to give up.Yinzhen looked at Yinhu indifferently, and said: "Eighth brother." The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Yinhu bowed his knees, "My minister Yinhu kowtowed to the emperor." When he arrived, he could only snort unwillingly, and knelt down heavily on the ground.

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Everyone, get up. Xuanlong Koduo come in."

After a while, Long Keduo, who was already the admiral of the nine gates, came in, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a respectful voice: "The servant Long Keduo sees the emperor. I report to the emperor that all the nine gates of the capital have been closed. The sixteenth master has led the Fengtai Camp The soldiers and horses have arrived outside Changchun Garden, please the emperor decide." Yinzhen nodded and said, "Very well, let him in." Only then did Yinzhen realize that the always taciturn sixteenth prince Yinlu was not here.The atmosphere had been tense before, and he didn't even notice it.At this time, when I heard the Fengtai battalion soldiers and horses arrived outside the Changchun Garden, I was shocked and angry, and said with a sneer: "The fourth brother of the emperor, what do you mean? You actually sent the sixteenth brother before Huang Ama passed away. Go to Fengtai to deploy troops! Didn’t you say you’re plotting something wrong?”

Yinzhen stood with his hands behind his back, calmly.He said coldly, "I don't have the ability to mobilize my sixteenth brother!"

"Ninth brother, the younger brother went to Fengtai to seal Huang Ama's will!" Outside the door, Yinlu lifted the curtain and strode in.Walking to Kangxi's bed, he bowed his head respectfully three times.Then he got up and walked to Yinzhen, presented the gold medal arrow with both hands, and said: "My brother Yinlu sees the emperor!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well, there have always been two theories about Concubine Liang's life experience. Feng always thought that her father was a Mongolian prince, which was not reliable.But unreliable is also an argument.Just use it~~~~ I am incompetent in the palace, so after succeeding to the throne, continue to live a sweet life and raise the little buns~~~Let’s get rid of the queen mother of Defei~~I don’t want to see her become a queen mother~~~
