Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

Concubine Yu was carried like an animal to the big bed used by Qianlong's concubine Xingxing, looking nervously at this slightly unfamiliar place, Concubine Yu's mood at this time can be described as mixed.

Gently stroking her slightly rough skin and the thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, Concubine Yu sighed deeply, what's the use of the emperor thinking of her?With her appearance like this, she definitely won't be able to keep the emperor's heart.

"Long live God auspicious!" The respectful voices of the court ladies and eunuchs came from the door, and Concubine Yu's nervous heart rose to her throat.In the past few years, except during Chinese New Year, she could only occasionally see Qianlong in Lafayette's Palace of Compassion and Peace. Now...

Qianlong lifted the bed curtain, just sat on the edge of the bed, did not take off his clothes, his sharp eyes shot at Concubine Yu's face and body like a sharp sword.

"The concubine respectfully greets the emperor!" Concubine Yu held back her embarrassment, slowly got up from the bed, and knelt on the bed naked to greet Qianlong.

Qianlong squinted his eyes, without saying a word, he reached out and lifted Concubine Yu's chin, forcing her to face him.

Faint eyebrows, slightly vicissitudes of the eyes, there is even a thin line of wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.The bridge of the nose is straight, the lips of light pink are neither thick nor thin, and the size is moderate.The skin is no longer white, tender and smooth, and looks very dull.Generally speaking, this is a face that is more than handsome but not beautiful.In the harem full of beauties, it is very inconspicuous.

Qianlong tightened his grip on Concubine Yu's chin, and his eyes became deeper.Concubine Yu, if she hadn't been lucky enough to give birth to Yong Qi, she might still be struggling in the position of nobleman, right?Concubine Yu is one of the few old people in the palace who follow him. If she can really live her life in peace, then even if Yongzheng ascends the throne in the future, she will not do anything to her. A royal concubine should be a good one.It's a pity...why are women so greedy?

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." Concubine Yu's face turned red when she saw Qianlong staring at her for a moment.

There was a trace of sarcasm in Qianlong's eyes, and he let go of Concubine Yu coldly, his eyes were like lightning: "Concubine Yu, you want to be the empress dowager, don't you?"

Concubine Yu blinked her eyes twice, and it took her a long time to realize what Qianlong was saying. She was so frightened that she didn't care that she hadn't put on her clothes yet, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor please check clearly! This concubine has no such intentions!"

"Never have such a heart?" Qianlong chuckled, his voice was soft, but it made Concubine Yu feel cold all over: "You asked someone to cut off that railing, didn't you just hope that after Yongzheng's accident, Yongqi would be able to ascend the throne? In that case , you are the Queen Mother..."

"Chen... Chenqie..." Concubine Yu's eyes widened in shock, her lips trembled, she was speechless for a long time, and her heart was already turbulent: How could the emperor know?She obviously did it very covertly!Apart from myself and Nanny Li, no one else should know about it!

"In this world, there are only things I don't want to know, and there are things I wouldn't know." Qianlong chuckled, domineering and conceited.Indeed, he is the master of the world, and he has the capital to let the entire Qing Dynasty play in his palm.

Concubine Yu's face was already pale without a trace of blood, she knew that the emperor must have conclusive evidence in his hand.However, to murder the prince, and this prince is also the emperor's favorite son-in-law, that would be a murder of the whole family!

"Why, don't you admit it?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows casually, admiring Concubine Yu's desperate look with great interest, his mood was calm without any fluctuation.

"Chen Qie, Chen Qie pleaded guilty, just begging the emperor not to hurt Chen Qie's family, they don't know anything..." After a long silence, Concubine Yu finally opened her mouth tremblingly.

"Plead guilty so soon?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows boredly: "It's just that if I tell the world about your crime, then Yongqi will definitely hate Yongxie. According to his temperament, maybe he will do something. .I don’t want to leave a ticking time bomb by Yong Xin’s side, what do you think?”

Concubine Yu looked at Qianlong in horror, of course she knew what Qianlong meant: If Yongqi threatened Yongzheng, then Yongqi would not survive...

"Your Majesty! Yong Qi is your biological son!" Concubine Yu shouted in disbelief.

"I didn't say what to do with him either?" Qianlong stood up, leaving Concubine Yu with a ruthless back: "Tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs! How could I be worse than a beast? Besides, Aixinjueluo If the family is not happy to kill his own son, I don't want to set a precedent for this."

Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Chenqie, I just want Yongqi to live a safe life..."

"If he is safe and sound, I can naturally let him live a safe life." Qianlong strode towards the door, and a cold and ruthless voice came from afar: "Otherwise, although the Aixinjueluo family is not happy to kill their son, but to encircle them, Not without it."

Concubine Yu sat on the dragon bed blankly, her eyes were empty.In just a quarter of an hour, her mood changed drastically.From joy to despair, this dramatic change almost made her collapse.

At this time, Yong Qi had no idea what his biological mother-in-law was about to face. At this time, he was hugging the little Yanzi who was renamed Xiao Yan and talking sweetly!

It has to be said that although Yongqi has some problems with his brain and thinking, he has inherited [-]% of the infatuation unique to the men of the Aixinjueluo family.Maybe he was not a good son to Qianlong and Concubine Yu; he was not a good grandson to Lafayette; he was not a good brother to the elder brothers; good bro.But to Little Swallow, Yong Qi is a perfect husband.

Yongqi's tolerance, love and devotion to Little Swallow are astonishing. It's a bit like Emperor Shunzhi's style of loving beauties but not Jiangshan.

Concubine Yu was sent back to Yonghe Palace in a daze, her eyes were dull and dazed, as if the spirit that supported her to live suddenly disappeared.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Concubine Yu had only left for a while and then was sent back with no trace on her body, Li Momo was shocked by her with a look of despair.

"Come on, come on! Let the water go for the empress to bathe!"

"Li Nanny..." Concubine Yu tightly grasped Li Nanny's hand, her empty eyes finally became focused: "What should I do...the emperor knows that I did that...he is going to kill me what should I do……"

"That incident?" Nanny Li was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly changed: "You mean, the incident that caused Brother Twelve to fall into the water?!"

Concubine Yu nodded in despair, and burst into tears: "What should I do? Mother Li...I don't want to die! Yongqi will definitely be implicated by me..."

Nanny Li didn't say a word, since the emperor already knew what the empress had done, plus his doting on Elder Brother Twelve for more than a year, the empress would definitely die... No!If Elder Brother Twelve didn't pursue the matter and went to intercede with the empress, the empress might escape this disaster!

"Your Majesty, this old servant has a way..." Nanny Li said hesitantly, "It's just that the possibility of this way is very slim..."

"What way?" Concubine Yu's eyes were amazingly bright, and she didn't even hear what Nanny Li said later.

"This... this old slave thinks, if the twelfth elder brother is asked to intercede with the empress, then, with the love of the twelfth elder brother from the Lord Long Live, it is very likely that the twelfth elder brother will spare the empress..."

"How is it possible?" Concubine Yu's eyes dimmed, and her face was full of bitterness: "Only a fool would intercede for those who harmed him, right? Although the twelve elder brothers look weak on the outside, they are actually ruthless and merciless. He knows that I caused him to fall into the water, and he will definitely try to kill me, how can he intercede for me?"

"You can let the fifth elder brother go!" Li Nanny also had a problem with her brain: "No matter how much the fifth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother confront each other, they are still brothers. Let the fifth elder brother talk about it, and the effect will be better. ..."

Concubine Yu is worthy of being Char Siu Wu's mother-in-law, but she is also an invisible idiot. Brain waves and Char Siu Wu are on the same road, so she immediately agreed with Nanny Li: "Well, tomorrow you go and call Yong Qi. come over!"

Sure enough, the brainwaves of brain-damaged people are different from those of normal people. In the palace, even father and son, half-brothers can kill each other, but what kind of feelings will there be between two half-brothers who have a big age gap and the elder brother treats his younger brother badly? ?One must know that Yongzhen didn't see his nominal fifth brother until he went to the study room!After getting acquainted, because of the different camps of the two, they have always been tit-for-tat when they met. There was no emotion at all, and they both hated each other extremely.

If a beggar and Yongqi fall into the river at the same time, neither of them can swim, and only one can be saved, Yongxi will definitely save the beggar.And so is Yongqi.

Yong Qi never went to greet Concubine Yu, it was a rule, filial piety was nothing, so she had to find him after the next court.

Nanny Li hurried on, and finally stopped Yongqi before he left the palace: "Fifth elder brother, Concubine Yu has something very important to tell you, please go there now!"

"I still have something to do! Besides, what important things can Er Niang have?" Yong Qi frowned impatiently. In his heart, going home to see Little Swallow is the top priority now, and everything else is aside. stand!

"Your Majesty really has something very important to do. Brother Fifth, please just go over here! It won't delay you for long!" Li Nanny said, feeling worthless for her own Madam in her heart——for this The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is about to take his own life!

"It's so troublesome!" Yong Qi muttered impatiently, and reluctantly followed Nanny Li.

It's just that he didn't see it, not far behind him, several creatures with the official name "Censor" were staring at him with bright eyes——Aww!Finally you can impeach someone!We've been suffocating for a while!Fifth elder brother, you are really a great savior waiting for me!

Reluctantly came to Yonghe Palace, and reluctantly listened to Concubine Yu's words, Yongqi's face was full of disbelief: "Emiang, you said, you caused the twelve brothers to fall into the water?!"

"...Yes." Concubine Yu replied softly.

"My God! Er Niang! How can you be so vicious!" Yong Qi stood up in disbelief: "You actually asked me to plead with Yong Xin, don't you know how bad my relationship with him is? Er Niang, where did all your beauty and kindness go?"

Concubine Yu stared in amazement at Yong Qi, who was grieving, she was dumbfounded, speechless for a while.

But Nanny Li couldn't help it anymore: "Fifth elder brother, isn't your mother doing this all for you? How can you say that about your mother?"

"Shut up!" Yong Qi gave Nanny Li a hard look, and looked at Concubine Yu impatiently: "Er Niang, one person does things and one person is in charge. Why do you want me to clean up the trouble you caused? Endgame? It is impossible for me to go to Kunning Palace to intercede with Yongxin!"

"You..." Concubine Yu pointed at Yong Qi tremblingly, her lips trembling and unable to speak.

"Fifth elder brother!" Seeing that Yongqi turned around to leave, Madam Li hurriedly knelt down: "Fifth elder brother, do you know that if the [-]th elder brother doesn't help to intercede, then the empress will die!"

"How is it possible?" Yong Qi's eyes widened in shock: "Isn't Yong Xin all right?"

"Your Majesty, this is murdering your first son!" Nanny Li burst into tears, "Fifth Elder Brother, Your Majesty is your biological mother! How could you refuse to save her?"

"Huang Ama can't kill Erniang!" Yong Qi roared, turned around and ran out of Yonghe Palace: "I'm going to ask Huang Ama!"

"Yongqi!" Concubine Yu shouted anxiously, but she couldn't run fast wearing the bottom of the flower pot, when she staggered and ran out the door, she only saw a blurred figure from her back.

"You mean, Concubine Yu is the one who broke the railing?" Yong Xing knocked on the table again and again, trying hard to recall Concubine Yu's face, but couldn't remember.

"Master Hui's words are absolutely true. The nails in the Yonghe Palace heard it with their own ears." A middle-aged eunuch dressed in eunuch uniform, with an ordinary appearance, knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

"I really didn't expect that!" A stern look flashed across Yong Xin's eyes, Concubine Yu, since you want to be company with Lord Yan so much, then Lord will grant your wish!

In Qianqing Palace, Qianlong was discussing matters with Ji Xiaolan, Fu Heng and Shanbao.

Although Shanbao is only 20 years old this year, he has already reached the first rank and won the favor of Qianlong.Half a year ago, he had changed his name to the well-known "Heshen".

"Fifth elder brother, you can't go in..." The guard at the door saw Yongqi rushing towards the Qianqing Palace with a distorted face, and was so frightened that he lost his soul and rushed over to stop him.

"Let go of me! I'm going to ask Huang Ama for clarification!" Yong Qi struggled and yelled into the room: "Huang Ama! How can you be so vicious!"

Qianlong listened to Yongqi's yelling, his face was expressionless, but the wind was blowing around him, and the cold air was even worse than that of Emperor Yongzheng.

"Let fifth elder brother come in." Qianlong said lightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Huang Ama!" Yong Qi rushed in straight like this, treating Fu Heng and Shen who were standing aside as invisible people, and An did not invite Qianlong, but pointed to his nose and questioned : "Huang Ama, how can you be so vicious? Why did you kill Erniang?!"

"You came here today to ask about this matter?" Qianlong raised his eyebrows casually, and his tone softened: "Yongqi, do you know what crime it is to murder the current son-in-law?"

"Capital crime!" Yong Qi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out, but the next moment her face changed drastically: "But, isn't Yong Xi all right?"

Qianlong looked coldly at this son who once made him extremely proud, but later disappointed him, his heart was calm and there was no fluctuation at all, looking at Yongqi as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him. stranger.

"Fifth elder brother, you should pray that Yongzheng is okay, otherwise, not only Concubine Yu will be killed, but the entire Keliette family will be involved."

Yong Qi stared blankly at Qianlong, feeling an inexplicable panic in her heart.He is not stupid, he can hear the tone of Qianlong speaking to him, it is no longer the disappointment and hatred of iron and steel as before, but indifferent without any emotional fluctuations, this tone makes him terrified.He would rather, Huang Ama scolded him, or beat him up, just don't talk to him in this tone again...

Fu Heng lowered his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes, Your Majesty, he really gave up on fifth elder brother completely!

And He Shen was very gloating in his heart, it should be!Tell you to embarrass the twelfth master everywhere!Now the feng shui turns, you deserve it!

"Okay, you go down!" Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My son, leave!" Yong Qi was still immersed in her own thoughts, completely throwing Concubine Yu out of the blue, and obediently went on.

"Brother Twelve!" As soon as Yong Qi left, Qianlong turned around and ordered Gao Wuyong to call Yong Xin over.

"Whoo!"

Fu Heng and the others looked at each other and retreated one after another.

"I send greetings to Huang Ama, Huang Ama is auspicious!" Yongzhen walked into the Qianqing Palace and slapped Qian'er neatly.

"Get up." Qianlong lightly ordered the little eunuch next to him: "Give the twelve elder brothers a seat!"

"Yong Xing should know why Huang Ama is looking for you, right?" Qianlong's voice was very gentle, like a good father.

"I don't know." Yongzheng said the scene, but he vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

"Then Yongzhen should know that it was Concubine Yu who caused you to fall into the water, right?" Qianlong looked at Yongzhen quietly with deep eyes.

Yong Xing's heart trembled, but he didn't know how to answer.He didn't want Qianlong to think that he was monitoring the people in the harem, and he didn't want to become a scheming person in Qianlong's eyes, but he didn't want to lie to Qianlong either, so he kept silent.

Qianlong saw Yongzhen's hesitation and was a little disappointed, but more happy.Although Yong Xin has not completely opened up to him, his attitude towards him has obviously changed greatly.If this incident had been done a year ago, Yong Xin would have denied it categorically.

"Then you know now." Qianlong chuckled lightly, "What are you going to do with Concubine Yu?"

"Let Huang Ama decide."

"You are the victim, of course you have the final say." Qianlong said with a smile.

Yongzhen was inexplicably annoyed by Qianlong's flat and half-smile tone, and his tone became a lot more blunt: "In my opinion, murdering the prince is a capital crime, but I think he gave birth to the fifth elder brother for the royal family. It's good to be thrown into the cold palace."

Yongzhen is not in a hurry to kill Concubine Yu now, life is worse than death.

"I pass on my decree, Concubine Yu of Koriyet's misconduct, vainly attempting to murder the prince, strip her of her title, and put her in the cold palace!" Qianlong took a deep look at Yongzhen, and signaled Gao Wuyong to draw up an order.

This decree caused an uproar in the harem, but what attracted more attention was the vacant imperial concubine.

Now in this harem, among the four concubines, Concubine Ling has been demoted, Concubine Shu has been promoted to Noble Concubine, Concubine Yu has been thrown into the cold palace, and only Concubine Qing is left. Lafayette will definitely ask the emperor to give the harem a promotion.

Concubines below concubines, nobles, etc. all put up their best efforts to fight openly and secretly, hoping that they would be the lucky one.Among them, the most confident one is Ligui, who has been favored very much recently.

Dazed by the grace, Lady Ligui forgot her identity as a Han woman, forgot that she has not yet had a child, and she is still dreaming of becoming a concubine.
