Yinzhen clenched his hands on his sides into fists.

A ball of flames rose and spread in his heart, he stared at Concubine De and said word by word: "Concubine Demu...this was specially made by Fourteen in Xiangshan today. He said...he said..."

Thinking of the scene of Fourteen painting happily at that time, and shouting to let Concubine Demu, who hadn't seen the autumn, also look at it, Yinzhen's nose was sour, and he couldn't speak for a while.

He couldn't imagine what kind of blow Xiao Shisi would have to suffer to throw this painting away!On the side, the crown prince Yinfeng patted Yinzhen on the back, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Concubine Demu, Fourteen said he wanted you to see the scenery of Xiangshan, so he specially made the painting... "

Elder Brother Yin'er continued: "And...among the paintings you burned, there are about fourteen birthday presents that I plan to give you."

Birthday gift...?

There was the sound of people gasping in the room.

Kangxi's face sank like water.

He stared at Concubine De silently: Concubine De kept saying that it was the fault of the palace servants and Fourteen, but from Kangxi's point of view, she was the only one who was wrong in this matter!

Everyone is shocked now, let alone Concubine De.

She rolled her throat but couldn't even make a sound. The blood on her face and lips faded instantly, revealing the blue and white color underneath.

De Fei flicked her fingers lightly.

The emperor's disgust, the empress dowager's anger, the prince's and brothers' shock, all kinds of gazes were intertwined, all pierced her body, making Concubine De embrace her and shrink into a ball.

It seems... It seems that I have lost something...

She took a few steps back again and again, her knees softened and she knelt down on the ground, crying instantly.

This time no one sympathized with her, let alone comforted Concubine De.

Kangxi glanced at Concubine De in disgust.

The little thoughts before were completely dissipated, and Kangxi completely lost hope in her, and even other thoughts arose in his heart.

As for now...

Sharp eyes slid across Concubine De, Kangxi was about to speak, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.

"Emperor Mama?"

"Emperor—the most important thing now is to find Fourteen." The Empress Dowager looked calmer, provided that she didn't see her icy eyes exuding a chill.

This look is like looking at a dead person.

The Empress Dowager glanced casually at Concubine De, and ordered Su Mala to guard her here, and it would be too late to deal with her when she found Shisi.

Kangxi nodded, and once again ordered the palace people to conduct a carpet search in Changchun Garden, not to let go of every inch.

This time, the guards and palace guards in Changchun Garden lit candles and lanterns, and shouts resounded over the entire garden.But even after such a search, there is still no trace of the fourteenth brother, which makes people's hearts sink uncontrollably.

It's autumn now.

If you stay outside for one night... Kangxi took a deep breath, restless and could only let the palace servants keep searching.

Concubine Niu Gulu thought of the lake in Changchun Garden.

Her eyelids twitched, but she didn't dare to express her guess. While suppressing her worries, she glanced at the distraught Concubine De.

Yinzhen frowned deeply.

The fourteenth brother has not even reached the age of three, how can he run far away?Bisheng Douyuan Bookstore went to the yards of several elder brothers to search for... Wait! ?

A flash of light flashed through Yinzhen's mind.

He suddenly spread his legs and ran out: "My son... I know where Shisi may be."

Everyone's spirits trembled.

Without hesitation, Kangxi took Prince Yinreng and jumped out of the Ningchun Hall right behind Yinzhen.Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Niu Gulu, and all elder brothers also followed.

Concubine De stared blankly at the brick pattern on the ground.

All the voices dissipated, and she raised her head blankly and looked into the distance.

Concubine De suddenly set her feet and ran out.

Su Mala was supposed to hold her back but hesitated for a moment, and followed with a solemn face leading the palace servants.

The mighty group of people ran wildly following Yinzhen.

It was not until they reached a very familiar courtyard that everyone stopped in their tracks.

Kangxi looked up in shock.

There are three words written on the plaque in the courtyard: Chengluxuan.

This is the place where the fourth elder brother Yinzhen lived before he set off, and now except for a few palace people who are on duty at night, there are few people here.Facing the arrival of the emperor's entourage, the palace guards on duty at night also looked blank. They quickly opened the door, but the room looked empty, where was there any trace of Shisi?

Just when everyone thought they were running empty again, Yinzhen stretched his body and pulled out a little guy from the inside of the bed: "Fourteen!"

Kangxi and Prince Yinreng stepped forward together.

I saw Elder Fourteen curled up into a small ball rolling in the corner, pulled out by Yinzhen with tears in the corners of his eyes, a pair of red eyes, ignorant, apparently awakened from sleep.

Fourteen yelled blankly: "Ninth brother... Khan Ama? The second brother of the prince?"

At the end of the shout, he also woke up.

Seeing the anxiety and worry on everyone's faces, Brother Fourteen panicked.He grumbled and tried to retreat into the corner, but Yinzhen forcibly dragged him out: "Why are you hiding here?"

"...I just came here to sleep for a while." Elder Fourteen replied softly.

Perhaps it was because they noticed that Kangxi and the others looked strange.He wriggled his lips again, and added in a low voice, "...it has nothing to do with Er Niang."

fell last.

Concubine De felt uncomfortable when she realized that this was the fourth elder brother's yard, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.She looked at Fourteen in bewilderment, wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, subconsciously reached out to hug Fourteen.

Fourteen avoided Concubine De's actions.

His hands subconsciously clenched Yinzhen's robe, and Concubine De's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air in embarrassment.

Kangxi frowned, Liang Jiugong and Su Mala stepped forward in unison, dragging Concubine De aside gently but firmly.

Yinzhen lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes fluttering wildly.He pretended not to notice, but stretched out his hand to caress Brother Fourteen's back, and said softly, "Fourteen..."

Kangxi felt more and more distressed.

It would not be a good thing for Fourteen to live with Concubine De.

Kangxi thought about it.

At the end, he said softly, "How about Sisi and Khan Ama today?"

The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Niu Colu couldn't help frowning.Concubine De, who listened with all her ears, was different, she was fine if she fell out of favor!As long as Fourteen is favored by the emperor...

She stared at Fourteen intently.

Concubine De clenched her fists, and she shouted in her heart - answer quickly!

Brother Fourteen's eyes lit up.

This is a treatment that I have never enjoyed, not to mention that after the quarrel with Er Niang, I didn't know where to go for a while, so I sneaked here to hide.

Thinking of this, Elder Fourteen subconsciously glanced at Concubine De, and then the vague expectation in his heart shattered into powder.

Erniang's eyes were filled with excitement.

Fourteenth elder brother's heart is cold - he doesn't want to be with Er Niang, nor does he want to follow Er Niang's mind to be with Khan Ama.

Following Fourteen's silence, the atmosphere in the room was slightly delicate.Kangxi thought that Shisi still wanted to find Concubine De, and frowned slightly dissatisfied, but Shisi didn't want to explain, but just held Brother Jiu with both hands and refused to let go.

Yinzhen looked at Khan Ama, then at Fourteen.

He blinked his eyes, and then suddenly realized.Yinzhen stretched out his hand to touch the melon seeds on Shisi's small head, and then said to Kangxi confidently, "I want it too."

"……what?"

"Fourteen is shy, and if we sleep together as a father and son, we won't be shy anymore!" Yinzhen rolled his eyes at Khan Ama, and Khan Ama's eyes were so bright that he couldn't even see this, making Kangxi's head explode There are looming blue veins.

Kangxi was about to push Yinzhen away.

How old are you and you still want to sleep with me? Isn't this kid too thick-skinned?But when he lowered his head, Kangxi's heart softened again when he saw Shisi holding Yinzhen's body tightly and his eyes were still shining with pikapika.

What else can I do?

Kangxi stretched out his hand and took Yinzhen to hug the two sons together.

Anyway, at a time like today, even the Empress Dowager would not say a word that was unreasonable, and Quan pretended not to see the emperor holding his two sons.

Yinzhen plus fourteen.

The weight of the two fat sons made Kangxi gasp, and he had no other thoughts to take them away in a hurry, without even looking at Concubine De on the way.

Concubine De stood where she was.

After a little excitement passed, she calmed down again when Fourteen was silent.

Concubine De stared blankly ahead.

In the beginning, I just wanted to let the fourteenth elder brother get a little attention from the emperor, to get some attention from the emperor...but later...when did it become like this?

Think of the painting that the Empress Dowager placed on the table.

Thinking of the things that my brothers said they burned... There is actually a birthday present that Fourteen is going to give to me.

There is also the question of why Shishi does not want to agree to the emperor.

Is it because of myself...?

These thoughts are like a basin of cold water poured on De Fei's body.She was ashen-faced, covered her face, and staggered back to Ningchun Hall without Su Mala's urging.

What did you do yourself?

What did you do yourself?

What did you do yourself?

The Ningchun Hall was empty, Concubine De sat blankly on the soft couch.

The emperor took the fourteenth elder brother away.

It is destined... Fourteen will be adopted by others.

And myself...

Concubine De thought of the emperor's cold and disgusted eyes, concubine?Concubine?hehe.

Without the fourteenth elder brother, without the trusted palace servant... what do I have?Concubine De's thoughts were in a mess, and suddenly a small figure jumped in front of her: "Emiang—! Emiang—! You still have me!"

The scattered focus is concentrated again.

Concubine De looked at the fifth princess with disheveled temple hair, and felt a throbbing pain in her heart: "Guoxi Chuka..."

She hugged her daughter tightly.

While listening to her sobbing comfort, she made up her mind.

Maybe...if...

The fifth princess didn't notice that Concubine De's eyes were shining brightly. She lowered her head and patted her daughter's back, lovingly looking at her daughter whom she hadn't looked at carefully for a long time: "Guoxi Chuka...you must take good care of your brother from now on."

"Emiang... what are you talking about? Erchen will go to beg Khan Ama tomorrow, and beg together with the fourteenth brother. You will be fine, Erniang." The fifth princess was very flustered, and she held her hands tightly. Live in the lapel of Concubine De.

Concubine De bent her lips.

There was no artificiality in that smile, on the contrary it looked extraordinarily calm and gentle.She gently rubbed the head of the fifth princess: "Don't worry, Er Niang will be fine."

Watching the fifth princess who took one step and three turns to leave, Concubine De turned around and stepped into the inner room with unusually firm footsteps.

the next day.

After cheerfully instructing Fourteen to follow Yinzhen to write and draw, Kangxi sat in front of the desk and frowned deeply—how to deal with Concubine De?

Concubine is impossible.

Even the concubine disgusted Kangxi.

Your Excellency?Often?promise?

If this is the case, who will give it to fourteen?Who will the five princesses be given to?The Seventh Princess is too old to be raised by the Empress Dowager all the time...

Kangxi thought slowly.

There is also the fourth elder brother...whether to make the imperial concubine the empress or to change Yinzhen's jade plate, this idea has been circling in Kangxi's mind for many years and he has not yet come to a conclusion. Do he still have to come to a conclusion now?

Just as Kangxi was thinking hard, there was a rush of footsteps outside, a sweaty little eunuch walked into the room along the corner of the wall, and whispered something in Liang Jiugong's ear.

Liang Jiugong's expression changed.

Kangxi couldn't help cast a questioning look on his very different expression, and Liang Jiugong hurried to the emperor's side.He lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, something happened in Ningchun Hall!"

Kangxi's first reaction was that Concubine De was making trouble again.

He frowned indistinctly, and said with dissatisfaction: "Concubine De? What's wrong with her? Tell the guards to take good care of Ning Chun Tang, and don't let her come out and no one can go in to visit—even the fifth princess." .”

"Your Majesty! No! It's Concubine De... Concubine De..."

"Concubine De? What happened to her?" Kangxi was puzzled.

The little eunuch finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Report to the emperor, the imperial concubine is dead!"

Kangxi suddenly changed his face.

Immediately afterwards, his pupils shrank, and unfortunately, at this very moment, Elder Fourteen came in with a tray of brushes, inkstones and inkstones.Hearing the shrill voice of the little eunuch, Brother Fourteen suddenly stopped in his footsteps, and then let go of his hands, and a tray of things fell to the ground with a clatter.

"...Auntie?"

"Fourteen!!!" Yinzhen came in next.

Seeing that Fourteen's body swayed and fell backwards, he stepped forward to catch him in three steps at a time.After carefully putting Shisi on the chair aside, Yinzhen had the time to recall the previous sentence.

Concubine De... died?

wrong?Concubine De was obviously fine yesterday, and Yinzhen, who had been with Khan Ama all the time, never heard that Ama Khan had any plan or will to kill Concubine De.

Concubine De...?

She didn't commit suicide, did she?Yinzhen was terrified instantly, he looked at the gloomy Kangxi, and then at the comatose fourteenth brother.

Yinzhen gritted his teeth.

He picked up the fourteenth brother and ran away: "Er Chen, take the fourteenth brother to the imperial physician." Don't look at Yinzhen's words loudly, but his head didn't dare to turn his head to look at Kangxi's expression—— Anyway, it is about the level of evil spirits in hell, right?

Just like Yinzhen thought.

Kangxi immediately thought of what Yinzhen could think of. He looked at the trembling little eunuch and chuckled: "Concubine De is dead? Could it be suicide?"

The little eunuch who had just got up went limp in his knees and fell to the ground again.He lay prone on the ground, trembling all over his body, his lips were trembling for a long time but he couldn't utter a word.

Angry to the extreme.

On the contrary, Kangxi calmed down, the temples on his forehead were throbbing, and he understood the reason why Concubine De committed suicide.

The concubine committed suicide and harmed her family.

Coincidentally, Concubine De's family members dispersed early in the case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, men exiled women as slaves, Concubine De had no scruples at all.

As for the reason Defei did it.

After Kangxi thought about it, he couldn't help but fall on a few children in the end - I'm afraid it wasn't for Concubine De who already understood the tragic end of being demoted to a nobleman, often living or even being imprisoned in the cold palace.

Self-inflicted concubines are not allowed to be buried in the royal tomb, their titles are deprived, and their children should be taken care of by other concubines.If it is said that the fourteenth elder brother, the fifth princess and the seventh princess will be in a difficult situation due to their demotion, and it is difficult to win the love and affection of their adoptive mother, then what if the biological mother is gone?

There are many concubines without children in the harem, and there are several concubines alone—but Concubine De, do you believe that I will not harm your children?

Well... Concubine De is quite accurate on this point.

Kangxi's heart was full of complexities, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to press his forehead.

It's just... do you really think so?

Will your children be moved by your death?

Kangxi stood up: "Go to Ningchun Hall."

One step earlier than Kangxi was Concubine Niu Colu, who only mentioned the death of Concubine De when she signaled the eunuch to pass on the message, but did not mention that Concubine De had hanged herself.

Concubine Niu Colu signaled the two palace servants to move down Concubine De who was hanging from a high place, and carefully put her into the bedding.Looking at Concubine De's pale face, she didn't have any thoughts other than sighing.

As soon as he died...?

No matter how much she hated Concubine De, Concubine Niu Gulu never expected that she would make such a decision.

Enmity between people and death.

She sent the palace servants to change clothes and make up for Concubine De, secretly worried about the emperor's plan.

Kangxi walked outside Ningchun Hall.

It just so happened that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also arrived at this moment, and the three stepped into the room at the same time.

The faces of the palace people were all numb, with fear and fear entwined in the depths of their eyes, the only one who shed tears for Concubine De was the Fifth Princess...

The three of them looked at the fifth princess who came out supported by Concubine Niu Colu.Her eyes were swollen as big as goose eggs, and she lost all energy in front of her eyes. She muttered to herself, "I... ..."

The empress dowager, who had already learned from Su Mala that the fifth princess visited Concubine De last night and was immediately persuaded by Concubine De to go back, felt sore.She pulled the fifth princess and wiped her eyes: "...my child, let's go with Mama Ukuma for now."

Kangxi passed by the fifth princess.

He stepped into the room, quietly watching Concubine De on the bed.

She went very peacefully.

His eyes were closed, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Except for the lack of breathing and heartbeat, he seemed to be just sleeping peacefully.

Kangxi took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Concubine Niu Gulu walked into the room tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Concubine De...how should Concubine De's funeral be..."

It's a funeral.

After the death of Concubine De, Concubine Niu Colu still hoped that she could be buried properly.

"...According to the usual burial."

Kangxi said lightly: "Decree to forbid the palace to discuss this matter——Zhen will issue another imperial decree."

The purpose of issuing another imperial decree is that the incident of Concubine De's suicide will not be mentioned, but... people think that she was committed by the emperor to commit suicide.

Concubine Niu Colu breathed a sigh of relief.

She respectfully responded and then quietly retreated, ordering the Palace of Internal Affairs to immediately prepare for the funeral of Concubine De... Wu Yachang.

In Ruijingxuan.

Concubine Tong Huang didn't sleep well all night, her brows were frowned, and she was slowly drinking rice porridge with a grape-patterned bowl in her hand.Hearing the news of Concubine De's death, she was stunned, and she let go of the porcelain bowl with both hands and fell straight to the ground.

"Concubine De... is gone?"

"Yes, the emperor decreed that he should be buried according to his permanent position." The maid who reported the news lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, saying the news cautiously.

Originally, the palace servants of Ruijingxuan thought that the master would be happy, but what was surprising was that Concubine Tong's face was blank and at a loss.

Concubine De... Wu Yachang is dead! ?

Concubine Tonghuang couldn't tell what it was like, but she burst into tears after her eyes were slightly hot.

This is what Kangxi saw when he entered the room.

There were thousands of emotions in his heart, but in the end he let out a long sigh: "The imperial concubine..."

If Kangxi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that Concubine Tong would shed tears for Wu Yachang's presence.He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of Concubine Tong's eyes: "I... have something to tell you."

"emperor……?"

"Imperial Concubine, if I want you to make a choice." Kangxi hesitated, then said slowly, "Would you like to be my queen... or would you like Yinzhen to be your parent and child."

Kangxi's eyes were full of apology.

He wanted to give both to Concubine Tong, but with the crown prince, he could not allow another son. This was a decision that Concubine Tong had to make.

If this incident hadn't happened to Wu Yachang, Kangxi would still have made the imperial concubine the empress in all likelihood.But now that this incident happened, after thinking about it, Kangxi temporarily abducted to Ruijingxuan, and told him what had been buried in his mind for a long time.

Imperial Concubine Tong burst into tears.

If the tears just now were emotional, then at this moment it is tears of joy.She covered her face with her hands, bit her lip and sobbed.

Kangxi held her hand, and there were infinite words in his heart that he wanted to say.

Concubine Tonghuang smiled slightly.

With tears in her smile, she said softly, "Chenqie... want Yinzhen."

Concubine De was relegated to permanent status, and died of a sudden illness naturally aroused a lot of criticism from the previous court.However, the suicide of the imperial concubine was covered up tightly, and Wu Yachang's maidservants and eunuchs all died for the lord before she was alive. After all, there is no way to set off a storm.

more importantly.

Another thing attracted the attention of many clan courtiers.

The emperor intends to change the jade plate for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.Although it didn't say whose name it was changed to, Manchao Wenwu was not stupid, and one or two cast surprised glances at Tong Guowei.

Congratulations to the other party for having a baby grandson?Obviously, this surprise that fell from the sky was nothing but surprise to Tong Guowei.He couldn't hold back the expression on his face for a moment, and his whole face collapsed.

Go back to Tong Jia's mansion.

Tong Guowei immediately asked Fujin to send a letter to see Tong Huang Guifei, to test whether the idea came from his daughter or the emperor.

Concubine Tong Huanggui received the letter.

She stared at the letter for a long time, then threw the letter into the brazier indifferently, watching the letter being engulfed in flames, turning it into ashes in a short time.

"My lord, don't you really need to write a reply letter?"

"No need." Concubine Tong lowered her eyelids and coughed lightly a few times: "This will save them from having unrealistic fantasies."

Don't think that the emperor doesn't know what they did during the southern tour.

Concubine Tong Huanggui thought that Yinzhen had told him about Tong Guowei and Longkodo secretly taking the skinny horses given by corrupt officials—would she tell herself that the emperor would not know about it?

The emperor's temperament is clearest to Concubine Tong Huanggui.

I don't want to deal with Tong Guowei and others, but they are not on the emperor's death line. I really want to choose one or two girls from the Tong Jia family as concubines as they said, and then give birth to a child with Tong Jia's blood. child……

At that time, they will still target princes, county kings and the like?Who can not know their thoughts?

Concubine Tonghuang let out a long sigh full of sorrow.

I can only hope that my decision can wake up Ama, Er Niang and the younger brothers.

The emperor's patience has a limit.

As for the prince's affection for Tong Jiashi... it is uncertain whether he will pass or not.

It's a pity that Tong Huang Guifei's intentions were not understood by Tong Jia's family members at all.When the chariots and horses returned to the Forbidden City, taking advantage of the opportunity of entering the palace during the Laba Festival, Tong Guowei's Fujin—Emiang of Concubine Tong Huanggui took a girl into the gate of Chengqian Palace.
