Seeing Yongzheng glanced at this side, his expression was obviously satisfied, and Nalashi continued: "I don't worry about it these few days, so I have free time to do an embroidery job. It's a screen embroidered with woolen thread that I just learned. , thinking of filial piety to the Queen Mother, and also showing off my virtuousness as a daughter-in-law. Brother 23 came inside with me and put away the screen. Aren't you going to be an imperial envoy for the emperor tomorrow? Also take advantage of it for your sister-in-law It's a private matter, take it to the Queen Mother."

Yinqi got up and smiled and said: "The slave is lucky, let's feast his eyes first."

After saying that, he got up and apologized to Yongzheng, and asked Shuhua, "Shuhua also come to have a look? You know this, and explain it to me, so that I don't just look at things, but don't understand what's good. And I dare not ask the empress rashly, for fear of showing my embarrassment."

After entering the inner room, Nalashi ordered to come out with the screen she had just mentioned.The maid who had gone to the embroidery room hadn't come back yet, Nala was about to say something, but she heard Yongzheng's voice outside, obviously out of breath, yelling, which was heard inside.

I only vaguely heard Yongzheng scolding: "Form a faction and fight against me!... Are they trying to set up another court!?"

Everyone heard these words, and they were silent for a while.After a while, Nala smiled a little unnaturally: "The emperor's temper... It's a good thing we hid in, otherwise we wouldn't be terrified right now."

Then he stretched out his hand to unfold the cloth brought by the maid, and said with a smile: "Yun Qi also take a look, can you still see this embroidered golden Buddha?"

Yinqi looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It looks real. Although I don't know these crafts, I think it's excellent. The Queen Mother must be happy to see it."

Nalashi said: "You child, you are sweet-mouthed, and you can speak well in strings. You are only born, and I will eat you to coax you! Come on, put this away, and put it in the sandalwood box." Inside the box. Tomorrow, Yunqi will bring it back to me, present it to the Queen Mother, and let her old man judge it."

~~~~~~~

After Yinqi returned to the city the next day, he went to the yamen of the household department to bring the Yongzheng call to Prince Yi, and saw that it looked like a calligraphy and painting box and gave it to Prince Yi.Prince Yi picked it up with a dignified look on his face, which made Yin Qi curious, what could be in it, and he had to make a special trip to deliver it.

For the next few days, I didn't see Prince Yi coming to the household department.Only when Yinqi was going to Ningshou Palace, he met him once on the road, and walked away quickly after a few words.

Yin Qi secretly paid attention, only being on guard.Afraid that something big was about to happen, when he saw him, Prince Yi's face almost said that the mountain and rain were about to come.Probably, this kind of expression was also deliberately put on his face for him to see.

A few days later, on May [-]th, even Jiang Tingxi didn't come to the yamen anymore.Yin prayed for someone to be careful and went to ask Prince Zhuang and King Jiajun, but they were all busy, secretive, and slightly dignified.After getting the news, Yin Qi let out a sigh of relief, thought about it for a while, then got up and prepared to go back to the palace.

It's just that before he left the courtyard of the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Wang Zhaonian, the left servant, hurried in, but he was not there before.Yin Qi was worried about other things, but just now he didn't know.

Wang Zhaonian's face was pale and sweaty. When he saw Yinqi, he shivered. After a while, he saluted. Then he straightened up and said, "Duanbei Le'an... I have important matters, so I will go first."

Yin Qi instinctively felt that his behavior was not right at this time, and quickly asked the guards who followed him to stop Wang Zhaonian.He had just begged for these guards from King Jia Jun, who was in charge of the guards, in the past few days, because he always felt flustered, so he was a little more careful.Several people looked tall and powerful, and their skills were also good. They stopped them as soon as they stood in front of Wang Zhaonian.

Wang Zhaonian shouted anxiously: "Duanbeile, I really have some important business to do! If Duanbeile blocks the subordinates like this, if something goes wrong, whoever will explain to the emperor and Prince Yi!"

Yin Qi sneered and said: "Those things can naturally be thought about in the future, and now I have something to ask you. This is the most important thing right now. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to you immediately?"

Wang Zhaonian said angrily: "Duanbeile, are you going to make it difficult for me to step down? To be honest, I'm going to be an official from the second rank at any rate. Duanbeile just came to the household department with Prince Yi to have a look. I don't have a temporary post, and I don't have the status to make irresponsible remarks and send things to the subordinate officials! The subordinate officials should not accompany you!"

As he said that, he was about to walk forward, Yin Qi didn't let anyone stop him, he just reached out and grabbed a jade accessory around his waist, and pulled it off with all his strength.Putting it in front of my eyes for a while, Yinqi smiled and said: "Master Wang, I only want you to say a word, and I will not stop you wherever you want to go."

Then he lifted up the piece of jade, shook it, and said: "Master Wang, where did this thing come from?"

It was a fine piece of Hetian white jade, carved in the shape of a jade Guanyin.The thing is good, but just now Wang Zhaonian was hanging it on his waist - how can there be Guanyin wearing it like this?

Yin Qi took a closer look, and the strange way looked so familiar, and it wasn't the one he had brought.He also remembered the collar that Nalashi gave him, maybe it was that thing, the sons of Yongzheng also had it, right?

Yuguanyin was held in Yinqi's hand, and Wang Zhaonian's face turned pale immediately, his lips trembled, and he tried to defend himself: "That's...that's a descendant's ancestral property, so it's hard for Duan Beile to say that it's a subordinate's Stolen?"

Yin Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Exactly!"

Seeing Wang Zhaonian startled by his categorical words, Yin Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This piece of jade... I remember, I saw it before, it belongs to brother Hongshi."

As he said that, he stroked a shallow scratch on Guanyin's back, and said, "Look, wasn't Brother Fuhui naughty and scratched it with Nian Guifei's gemstone hairpin at that time?"

Wang Zhaonian's face turned ashen immediately, and Yin Qi thought to himself that he was lucky, and he did not guess wrong.

Seeing Wang Zhaonian opening and closing his mouth but unable to say anything, Yin Qi only squinted his eyes and watched his expression change.

Yin smiled and said, "Master Wang, since I was recognized by the master as belonging to elder brother Hongshi, can you tell me how this jade came to you, and how did it become your family's heirloom?" gone?"

As soon as the words fell, his expression changed, and he immediately became stern, waved his hand and said: "Take it for the Lord and take it away! Let's not go to the other place to embarrass ourselves, go directly to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and ask Mr. Fu Yin. Lord Instead, let him talk about the crime of official stealing, such a rare thing!"

~~~~~~~

For the first time, he put on the posture of Lord Belle, and let the sedan chair go directly to the yamen, and Yin Qi followed Wang Zhaonian to sit in the sedan chair.But he himself took Su Yao to the back door of the household department's yamen, and went out through the back door.

His attire, because of his filial piety, and because of his deliberate care in the past few days, is plain and unobtrusive from top to bottom, and there are no eye-catching accessories. He looks like an ordinary boy.

It's not good to bring Su Yao along.

At first glance, you don't think so, but if you look carefully, you can see that this is a eunuch.

Yinqi thought for a while, and said: "Su Yao, you will follow the sedan chair later and go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion. Jing Zhaoyin is Zhang Boxing. If you tell Wang Zhaonian's behavior, he will definitely see that something is wrong. Now I am afraid that those guards will not be able to explain clearly."

Su Yao also followed Yinqi, and really saw the treacherous waves in the capital these years.Hearing Yinqi's order at this moment, he immediately shook his head and said, "Master, there is only one servant girl left by your side now. If the servant girl leaves the master's side again, who can take care of it if there is an emergency? Master, this is in case No way."

Yinqi stomped his feet and said, "You should be a helper if you follow the master? You don't look at yourself, but if you have some vision, who can see your identity? You are making people see that the master is from the inside! With you, the time is even more dangerous!"

Seeing Su Yao lower his head, Yinqi sighed: "Hurry up! I'm afraid you will be left far behind later!"

Su Yao glanced at Yin Qi again, then gritted her teeth, turned and left.

Over there, Su Yao walked across a street, and when he turned around, he couldn't see it, so Yin Qi looked away.

It's just that he was a little dazed for a while, but where is he going?

Longkodo went to the Old Summer Palace yesterday, and he is not in the city at this time; Prince Yi is nowhere to be seen; He couldn't find anyone, and his current thoughts really made people dare not ponder...

Yinqi didn't dare to say that even if Prince Lian and his gang wanted to rebel, they might not be far away.

However, did Yongzheng not know anything about these things in the city?

How is that possible! ?

However, he didn't make any arrangements?

Or is it that Yongzheng's methods are so superb that Yin Qi can't even see it?

Although Yinqi believed in Yongzheng's ability, he still couldn't rest assured.

The matter is related to his own life, his own future, and the people he cares about, how can he take it lightly?

Without doing anything, Yin Qi just felt flustered.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my heart, and I thought of another person.Yin Qi turned around and ran to the other side of the alley.

If you can catch up in time, if you can convince that person, then naturally you don't have to worry about anything.

Even if Yongzheng didn't have any arrangements, according to that person's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to save his life in the turmoil.

~~~~~~~

Once inside Xizhimen, Prince Gong's residence is in Nancaochang Hutong.The door was closed tightly, only a few people dressed as doorkeepers sat at the side door.

Because Prince Gong was at home during this period of time, he had no power in his hands, and there were not many visitors, and the front of Prince Gong's mansion was deserted, and no one dared to stay.

Yin Qi stepped forward, and before approaching the door, several people stood up and shouted: "Go, go! Go aside! This is the palace of Prince Gong, it's not something ordinary people can come to see!"

Yin Qi looked at his muslin clothes, and because he was on guard all the time these days, he didn't dress up according to Baylor's rank, and he didn't have the yellow belt of the clan in his waist, but the blue belt worn on Kangxi's funeral.

With this attire, the gatekeeper of Prince Gong's house also looked down on him, but it was expected.Yinqi then took out his prince's jade pendant from his bosom, a prayer word, and a total of 23 small koi carves, which belonged to each of their brothers. Presumably, Prince Gong would not dare to say that he could not recognize it. .

Handed it to the gatekeeper, Yinqi said: "You just show this to Prince Gong, and let him say, can you come to his house to see the rarity and the excitement!"

The boy who took the jade pendant widened his eyes, and Yinqi said again: "If you are greedy for this thing yourself, there is nothing you can do now. But how we care about it in the future is not up to you."

Then he straightened his face and said, "Hurry up!"

The young man was drunk by him, and ran into the side door in a hurry.The remaining gatekeepers looked at each other in blank dismay, really not knowing the identity of the young boy in front of them.

After a while, the servant who took Yinqi's jade pendant ran out again. Before he could speak, several people came out again. Yinqi looked at the eunuch who was serving Prince Gong, and some dressed as if they were inside the mansion. The person in charge.

The first one was a bearded man in his forties, and the second one was Hong Fu, the great eunuch next to Prince Gong.Seeing that it was really Yinqi, Hong Fu hurriedly said: "Oh, Lord Duanbeile, why did you come here and didn't know how to answer the servants. But you were wronged here at the door? Let someone beat them later!"

Yin Qi waved his hands and smiled: "I came here rashly. The people at your house don't know me, and it's not their fault. Blame me for not being told in advance. I came here on a whim, and didn't see me Didn't even take anyone? It's not a big mistake if they don't recognize you. Come on, lead the way, I'm in a hurry to see the prince."

As he spoke, he took out a gem-embedded ring from his sleeve, threw it over, and said with a smile, "Please take this trip, here, this is for you, it's my hard work for you."

Hong Fu caught Yin Qi's ring and said with a smile, "Hey, I got it! Lord Baylor is really generous. Please come this way."

Along the way, they passed through the main hall, then passed the side hall, until they reached the flower hall near the water, Hong Fu stopped and said with a smile: "Duanbeile, our lord is listening to the opera in this hall. You wait at this door first, The slaves go in and talk to the prince."

Before he stepped on the steps, the door of the flower hall opened, and a middle-aged eunuch came out. After seeing a few people, he smiled and said: "Hey, the lord is just saying to let the slaves go to remind him. The lord also misses Duanbei Le , A while ago, he also said that he hadn’t seen Lord Baylor for a long time.”

Then he raised his voice and said: "Duanbeile is here, please greet Lord Baylor!"

Yinqi walked into the flower hall, and there was babbling and singing.Yin Qi doesn't like opera. He only knows it's Kunqu opera, but he can't tell what it's singing.
