seven steps

put to death

There are no eternal secrets in the Forbidden City.This day, Zheng Guiren was taking a little girl for a walk in the imperial garden. In front of Jiang Xuexuan's door, a little pug suddenly rushed out. She was startled, but she focused all her attention on the little pug, and didn't leave a message at all. Behind him, there was darkness.When she woke up again, she seemed to be wrapped in a black bag, her mouth was stuffed, and she couldn't open it at all. She could only make a humming sound, and her hands and feet were tied up tightly. In an instant, she felt that her hands were going to be destroyed like this.Fortunately, she soon heard footsteps.The person who came didn't bother her, and took away the bag covering her head.The suddenly bright environment made her eyes feel uncomfortable, and she could only open them after closing them for a while.

She raised her head and saw a woman with strange advantages but a little familiarity.Wearing a pink tribute satin embroidered magnolia ruyi lapel flag dress, with two combs on his head, wearing a red gold round birthday flat square, gilt filigree butterfly love flower dot green hairpin.There is a jade hibiscus flower in the middle, and a string of pearls hangs on one side, showing a noble and elegant appearance.It's just that Zheng Guiren can't remember where he saw her.

Seeing her appearance, the woman sneered, "I'm Ma Jia Yongzheng, I have a very favored younger sister named Ma Jia Qing'er, I think you have seen it before."

It was only then that Zheng Gui remembered who she was talking about, yes, Ma Jiaqing's temperament was lively, but he had the temperament of a wild horse.But she had heard from Kangxi that Ge Ge had the nature that Manchu Ge Ge should have.But she also heard that this Ma Jiaqing'er has an elder sister who is famous for being cold, but she has a good appearance, a ladylike appearance, and her demeanor is not as good as that of a princess.I saw it today, and it really is.

"I don't know why Yongzheng Gege tied up the slaves like this." This Ma Jia's Yongzheng is the cousin of the third elder brother and the niece of Concubine Rong. Naturally, she is more noble than her. Slaves, it's not a grievance.

Ma Jiayongzheng glanced at her, and said with a sneer, "What's the reason? Don't you know what you did yourself?"

Zheng Guiren couldn't help shaking when she asked this question.I kind of understand it in my heart, but I'm not sure if it's true.He could only say stiffly, "I don't understand what Ge Ge said, so please ask Ge Ge to explain it clearly."

Ma Jiayongzheng gave her a cold look and said, "Then I will let you understand that you all have the temperament of not shedding tears without seeing the coffin. This is not good. Think about where you went on the night of the New Year's Eve." , what did you do?"

Hearing what she said, Zheng Guiren's face became pale and bloodless, he was stunned and didn't know what to say, there was obviously no one there that day, and it was in Jingyang Palace, there would be no one at all.

Seemingly knowing what she was thinking, Ma Jia Yongzheng said again, "I know what you are thinking, but I was thinking that no one would go to Jingyang Palace that night, but unfortunately, I happened to go, and the emperor was there. Today I Come on, I think you know what I'm here for."

As soon as Zheng Guiren heard that Kangxi had also gone, he knew that he would not be able to get out alive today, but he didn't know what would happen to his family.So he said tremblingly, "Yingzheng Gege, if I am willing to go by myself, my family can be spared the guilt."

Yongzheng naturally knew that she would ask once, so she nodded and said, "As long as you go, you will die suddenly, and your family will not be affected, but if you resist, then you will be a dirty palace man." Sin, not only you, but also your family and nine clans, must be punished and punished to death."

Sure enough, I saw Zheng Guiren's trembling body, knelt down to Yongzheng, "I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I can only forgive my sins by dying. I also ask Gege to confess the crime in front of the Long Live God for the slave girl, and only ask that the servant's family members be spared the guilt." .”

"Naturally, you'll be surprised even thinking about it. Here's a bowl of bird's nest porridge. You can drink it." Then he brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge from the hand of the little eunuch beside him.

This bird's nest porridge is indeed very sweet, Zheng Guiren always liked to eat it, but today he didn't even want to see it, but he had no choice but to take it tremblingly, and kowtowed to Ma Jia Yongzheng "Xie Gege reward."

After saying that, she drank the bowl of bird's nest porridge, and not long after, black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground and died.

Ma Jiayongzheng covered his mouth and nose with a veil, glanced indifferently at the corpse on the ground, then turned around and went out. Afterwards, a eunuch would do an autopsy before throwing him out.

Ma Jiayongzheng went to the imperial study to find Kangxi.It's just that she is different from Ma Jiaqing'er calling Uncle Kangxi, but "Huang Ama."

"Well, are you here?" Kangxi asked lightly.

"My son has already settled the matter, Huang Ama, please rest assured."

"You are cruel, and other girls don't have your courage." Kangxi didn't know whether to sigh or appreciate.

Ma Jia Yongzheng didn't take it seriously, and only said in a reasonable tone, "Whoever makes them behave in Erniang's bedroom, this is retribution."

This Ma Jia Yongzheng was the daughter of Empress Tong Jia who died back then. Kangxi knew that someone had murdered Tong Jia. He ordered someone to change it.I only hope that my daughter can grow up safely, and I don't ask for anything else.Unexpectedly, Tong Jiashi was unwilling and felt uncomfortable, but for the sake of her daughter, she had to do so.But for a long time, he was worried about the child, and his health was broken. Kangxi couldn't help it, so he adopted the fourth elder brother under Tong Jia's knee.Thinking about it, this is also a certainty in the dark.

Hearing what Ma Jiashi Yongzheng said, Kangxi said helplessly, "You and your mother-in-law have similar temperaments. They are both stubborn and will not give up a single step. It's just that you are my daughter and have such arrogant capital. It's just that now that you are grown up, but you want to return to the palace, I only said to the outside world that you have adopted a daughter, which is not too much, but I am afraid that you will be wronged."

Mrs. Ma Jia shook her head, "Huang Ama, next year's daughter will be drafted, you can just leave her in Qianqing Palace to serve you, and you won't have to spend so much time. It would be bad for someone who cares to know about it. It's easy to do, maybe it's not as comfortable as I am now, Huang Ama doesn't have to worry about her daughter."

Kangxi thought that what she said was also reasonable, so he didn't force it anymore. He just thought that she would be the female official of the Qianqing Palace in the draft next year, so he would love her more, and with the current status of the Ma Jia family, it would be nice to give her a marriage at that time. If you don't feel wronged, you won't have to marry far away, and you will be full of your daughter-loving heart.

The news of Zheng Guiren's sudden death spread quickly. At that time, Yinzhen and Yinhu were playing chess. Hearing the news, they glanced at each other and couldn't help but feel chills. If others don't know why Zheng Guiren died, then they must be the last one. It's clear.That is to say, on the night of New Year's Eve, not only the two of them went to Jingyang Palace, but also others, and Kangxi also knew about it.If that's the case, did they also see the figures of the two of them, or maybe someone was staring at them all the time? If so, it would be too scary.

Yinhu hesitated, thought for a while and put down the chess piece in his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "Fourth brother thinks this is just a coincidence or is someone watching us secretly?"

Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "It's more likely to be a coincidence. After all, it's normal for Huang Ama to go to Huang Erniang's place on New Year's Eve. It's okay to see the two of us. I just said we met, so we went to see it together." Look, after all, the Queen Mother took good care of you back then, so no one else has anything to say, not to mention that you have the title of a virtuous king. Take care, it’s okay to say it.”

Hearing what Yinzhen said, Yinhu couldn't help laughing, "I heard what you mean, but you are saying that if this matter gets out, I might still gain a good reputation."

Yinzhen smiled, "Otherwise, isn't this not good? Who doesn't know that the Baxian King is a virtuous master."

Hearing Yinzhen making fun of himself like this, and claiming some virtuous reputation, he couldn't help but stare at him. "That's how you are still in the mood to laugh."

Yinzhen was indifferent, "Otherwise, since the situation is unclear now, could it be that you and I are in a mess?"

Yinhu painstakingly said, "Forget it. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil."

In the 47th year of Kangxi, Wuzi May Bingxu.On the tour, the crown prince Yunfeng, the eldest son of the emperor Yunti, the prince of Duoluo Zhijun, the emperor's thirteenth son Yinxiang, the emperor's fourteenth son Yu, the fifteenth son Yunti, the sixteenth son Yunlu, the seventeenth son Yunli, and the eighteenth son Yun祄, drive with you.It started on the same day and stopped at Nanshicao, Shunyi County.

When he heard the news, an unexpected guest came to Yinzhen's mansion.All the Fujins in Yinzhen's mansion, upon hearing the arrival of this guest, all wanted to go and have a look, but everyone knew that this was against the rules, so they could only grit their teeth.This guest is none other than Ma Jia Yongzheng.

Seeing Yinzhen, Ma Jiayongzheng smiled sweetly and said, "Should I call fourth master or fourth brother?"

Yinzhen was startled, and then understood, "It's not too much for you to call me brother."

Seemingly satisfied with the answer, Ma Jia Yongzheng smiled and said, "That's the best. Now my brother also knows that the prince is on the decline. Now Huang Ama is on a tour outside the Great Wall, bringing the prince and elder brother with me, and leaving the capital to your elders." Brother, do you think Huang Ama wants you to fight to the death, or do you want to see how the crown prince and elder brother bite each other?"

Yinzhen said disapprovingly, "These masters don't know, and don't want to know, masters don't fight or fight, whoever wants to make a fuss will go."

Ma Jia Yongzheng sneered, "Then the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. This is the fourth master, can you let go of the thirteenth brother?"

After speaking, Ma Jia Yongzheng left with a sweet smile.
