Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

When the fifth prince had an accident, Mo Gu happened to be discussing with Mo Da in the rouge workshop, because Mo Da was in the capital, and the rouge workshop was also nearby for Mo Da to help manage. His attainments are extremely high, and he also came into contact with a lot of mathematics and chemistry under Mo Gu's teaching.

This time, he suggested mixing the preservative made by Mo Er into the new rouge paste and face powder produced by the rouge workshop.

Since the Jinjiang pills were dismantled into several steps and distributed to various parts of the country for production, Mo Er was finally freed from the day-to-day pharmaceutical work.

Mo Er really likes chemistry. Although her goal is to develop poison to kill all the Jurchens, this does not prevent her from researching other things. For some reason, she actually developed a preservative!

Because the homemade Jinjiang pills are not durable, Mo Er wanted to mix preservatives into Jinjiang pills to increase the shelf life of Jinjiang pills, but this was rejected by the young master. After all, Jinjiang pills are something people want to eat. Besides, Mo Er's preservative has not been tested, so it can be easily used.

But after Mo Da learned about this, he had some other thoughts.

Mo Da pondered: "Although the stuff in the rouge workshop is good, it doesn't last long. If we add preservatives, it can be stored for a long time. Our business is not limited to the capital city, and we can sell it to the Jiangnan area."

Mo Da also had to admire the young master's ability to recruit younger brothers. Almost all the women the young master recruited had good skills, whether it was beauty or make-up, and almost all of them had some secret recipes for makeup or maintenance.

Mo poop was collected by people, and everyone gave some so-called patent fees to the young master, and then signed the contract, and then began to sell those cosmetics and skin care products. Originally, Mo was just thinking about adding and subtracting to make some money so that he could support these people. Women are fine.

I never expected that the products in Rouge Workshop were unexpectedly popular, and they were sold out in a short time. There were even many women who indicated that they wanted to sell the secret recipes used by girls in a certain courtyard or a certain building. Eye-opening, but although these things are good, their shortcomings are gradually emerging, that is, they are not durable.

In the past, those women had a lot of time to dress themselves up, so they didn't care whether things could be kept for a long time, anyway, they would make new ones if they were gone, but now they sold things, and this thing can't just be left for a few months before it gets moldy .

Furthermore, Mo Da intends to sell things to the Jiangnan area. It takes several months to travel from the capital to Jiangnan, so Mo Da then put his idea on Mo Erzhi's preservatives.

"That's okay." As long as he doesn't eat the mouth, Mo Gu feels defenseless, but the experiment that needs to be done still needs to be done.

Mo Gu pondered: "You let Mo Er test it in the Northeast first, and after confirming that it is harmless to the human body, then mix it into cosmetics and skin care products."

The most important point in the process of researching and developing new drugs is human experimentation. This is extremely difficult even in modern times, but it is quite easy to solve in ancient times. Just talk to Grandpa Cheap and use those Jurchen prisoners of war to experiment Extremely, although it is a bit inhumane, but thinking about the human life in their hands, it can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization.

The digital people hate the Jurchens the most, and it's a pity that Jinjiang pills are all medicines for curing diseases, and they can't kill people. Mo Gu rejected it, heck, he is a modern cultivator after all, Mo Gu still has some bottom line.

"Yes." Mo Da replied.

It's a pity secretly, but it's just used to test some cosmetics and skin care products, at most it will hurt the skin, and it won't kill those Jurchens, but it's cheaper for them.

While Mo Gu and Mo Da were discussing the details of the experiment, Mo Gu suddenly sensed that something happened to the fifth prince.

Mo Gu suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Who is it! They actually attacked a child!"

Mo was shocked, "Master!?"

There was no time to explain the details, so he just said, "I'll go first, and I'll leave this matter to you."

He just discovered that the peace talisman he put on the fifth prince's body moved.

It has been raining heavily in Beijing and central China for the past few days, and even the water level of the Jinshui River in the Forbidden City has skyrocketed. When the Fifth Prince fell, he was submerged not long after, and he couldn't even find a shadow.

The two companions of the Fifth Prince were shocked, especially Wang Zisheng. He never thought of anything. He just followed the order of the First Prince and led the Fifth Prince to the Jinshui River. He didn't do anything yet. The prince fell down.

At this time, Wang Zisheng finally remembered the fifth prince's status as a prince, and thought that if other people knew that this was his intentional end, Wang Zisheng trembled in fright, and at some point there was a faint smell of urine between his trembling legs.

Not only Wang Zisheng, but also many servants were also terrified. Many people immediately thought of the sixth prince who also fell into the water. Because of the incident of the sixth prince falling into the water, all the servants who followed the sixth prince were all killed with sticks. Thinking of this, it is better Like Wang Zisheng, the little eunuch was scared to pee on the spot.

Although Zhen Yingren was younger than Wang Zisheng, he was quick-witted. When he saw the fifth prince falling into the water, he immediately yelled, "Is there any servant who knows how to swim? Hurry up and save him."

If something happened to the fifth prince, even if he was Concubine Zhen's nephew, he might not be well received.

As if waking up from a dream, the little eunuchs jumped into the water one after another to try to save people, but the river was rushing, and it rained continuously for days, making the river water turbid, and the fifth prince could not be found at all.

Zhen Yingren stomped his feet anxiously. From this appearance, the Fifth Prince might be washed away, so he kicked Prince Sheng hard, "Hurry up and report to Concubine Zhen."

"Oh!" Wang Zisheng was so frightened at this time, Zhen Yingren did what he said, hurriedly rushed to the Chuxiu Palace to report the matter to the concubine Zhen, as for what he thought before Things like teaching the fifth prince a lesson have long been forgotten.

Concubine Zhen was startled when she heard that the fifth prince had an accident. She hurriedly asked someone to prepare a shoulder pad, and hurried to the place where the fifth prince had an accident. It is said that only concubines in the palace can use this shoulder pad, but at this time Zhen The concubine has been pregnant for four months, and because she is pregnant again, Emperor Pingkang did not bring Concubine Zhen back to Concubine Zhen, but allowed Concubine Zhen to enjoy the treatment of concubine.

The eunuch carrying the shoulders knew that Concubine Zhen was carrying a dragon seed, even though Concubine Zhen's nanny kept urging her, she never dared to rush for fear of falling the dragon seed in Concubine Zhen's stomach, and when Concubine Zhen arrived at five When the prince fell into the water, more than half an hour had passed.

It's just that Concubine Zhen never expected that when she arrived at Jinshuihe, the empress would also arrive.

Concubine Zhen hurriedly saluted the empress, and asked in a low voice, "Why is your empress here?"

"Brother Ren sent someone to inform me." The queen glanced at Zhen Yingren who was still beside the Jinshui River directing the little eunuchs to find someone, secretly regretting.

As Concubine Zhen's nephew, Zhen Yingren is not as unlucky as Concubine Wang's, and he doesn't seem to be outstanding in his homework, and he doesn't attract attention in the palace. Somewhat contingency.

I was able to order the little eunuchs to find someone in time. On the one hand, I notified Concubine Zhen, and she was also notified. On the fifth prince.

It would be best if the fifth prince could be rescued, but if not...

The queen secretly regretted and sighed lightly.

Concubine Zhen gritted her silver teeth secretly. She and Concubine De had an enmity because of the sixth prince, and even the queen who had a good relationship with Concubine De had become suspicious. She didn't believe that the queen was really worried about Xiao Wu and accompanied Smiling and persuading: "Madam, do you want to go to the side to rest for a while? There are ministers and concubines here."

The implication of Concubine Zhen's words was to imply that the queen should not stand in the way here.

The queen looked at Concubine Zhen suspiciously. The five princes were born to Concubine Zhen. Why Concubine Zhen was not worried about her son whose life or death was uncertain, but kept chasing her away.

The queen pondered slightly, "I am also the mother of the Fifth Prince. If something happens to the child, how can I stay out of it? I will wait here."

Concubine Zhen's face changed slightly, and when she was still about to speak, she heard the queen say again: "The fifth prince fell into the water, and no one has been found so far. This is a very serious matter. Let someone notify the Holy Majesty of this as soon as possible."

"Yes." The queen gave an order, and the maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace rushed to report.

Concubine Zhen hated secretly, but she didn't dare to stop them, making people suspicious, she could only helplessly see people report this matter to the Holy Master.

Concubine Zhen stared at the rushing Jinshui River in a daze, her heart ached for a while, and a little relaxed for a while, her mind was full of thoughts, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The imperial physician has already confirmed the diagnosis, and she is pregnant with a prince!Now that she has a healthy prince, she doesn't need Xiao Wu anymore.Xiao Wu is dead, she no longer has to worry about Xiao Wu's illness being discovered by the Holy One and being rejected by the Holy One.

So... Concubine Zhen's eyes darken slightly, it's better for Xiao Wu to die.

"Really..."

Concubine Zhen didn't need to turn her head to know that it was the voice of the Holy Majesty calling her, and that her nickname was true. In this world, only the Holy Majesty dared to call her by her nickname except her mother.

Concubine Zhen's heart thumped, and she fell backwards, falling right into Emperor Pingkang's arms, "My lord..."

Concubine Zhen supported her belly with one hand, while the other tightly held Pingkangdi's clothes, crying, "My lord, our little five..."

It is always distressing for a beautiful woman to cry, not to mention the fact that Xiao Wu has an accident, the one who loves the child the most is naturally Concubine Zhen, the mother, and Ping Kangdi, the father.

"Don't be afraid." Pingkang held Concubine Zhen's hand tightly, as if giving her strength and reassuring himself, "Xiao Wu will be fine, he is so obedient and obedient, there will never be—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the guards and eunuchs report that the fifth prince could not be found. Concubine Zhen groaned and fainted on the spot.

The fifth prince was washed away by the Jinshui River, and his whereabouts are unknown, but everyone understands that even if he is not killed, it is difficult to survive if he is washed away by the river in this winter season, let alone the imperial guards who searched carefully along the Jinshui River. Along the way, the fifth prince could not be found. Even if the Holy Majesty hadn't issued a decree, everyone would know that the fifth prince was gone.

At that time, all the eunuchs, big and small, who accompanied the fifth prince, including the fifth prince's nannies, were killed with sticks, and Zhen Yingren, as an accompanying reader, was not good for protecting the fifth prince, and was beaten thirty times by the emperor on the spot; He was a little older, and the crime was even more serious. He was beaten forty times and was almost killed on the spot.

Both of them and their families were expelled from the capital. If it wasn't for the sake of Concubine Zhen and the unworthy Wang Laodu Tai Weitong who knelt in front of Qianqing Palace, I am afraid that Zhen Yingren and Wang Zisheng would get it today. It's not just a few editions.

Even so, the little eunuch who played the plate had a secret hand, and the buttocks of the two were rotten, and neither of them could not be properly raised for a year or so. Forbearance, Wang Zisheng even had his foot broken, and even if he recovered, he has been crippled ever since.

Concubine Zhen lost her son and was ill for several days. Because of her pregnancy, she could not take any medicine, so she could only endure bitterly. Although the palace could not keep filial piety, there was no such thing as mothers keeping filial piety for their sons, but everyone in Chuxiu Palace They all changed into plain clothes in a sensible way.

As the saying goes, women should be pretty and filial. Concubine Zhen was already thin because of the loss of her son. Adding on her plain clothes, she looked even more pitiful. They all stayed in Chuxiu Palace, and even Concubine Li Shu took a step back, let alone others.

Seeing Concubine Zhen always holding the clothes left by Xiao Wu in a daze, and thinking about what Xia Dequan found out, Emperor Pingkang loved Concubine Zhen more and more, and wished he could make up for her. After Concubine Zhen's illness recovered slightly, Emperor Pingkang and The queen discusses to make Concubine Zhen a concubine.

The queen was taken aback, "The sage wants to make Concubine Zhen a concubine?"

But there are already Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Kang in this position of concubine. How could the concubine seat be filled with His Majesty's face-saving temperament?

Ping Kangdi nodded and said: "It can be regarded as a little comfort to her."

The queen thought to herself, the matter about Xiao Wu was probably written by some prince, otherwise the Holy Majesty would not have used the word comfort.

Sure enough, His Majesty's eyes darkened slightly, and he said again: "Concubine Hui is disrespectful in front of the palace, and she is not good at teaching her children, so she will be demoted to concubine Hui!"

The queen was startled, and almost said the words of the eldest prince again.

She never thought that it was not enough for the eldest prince to harm the sixth prince, but also the fifth prince. The empress shook her head secretly, and really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everyone said that the prince is tyrannical and doesn't tolerate brothers, but from her point of view, the prince is just arrogant and doesn't care much about others. The one who really doesn't tolerate brothers is the eldest prince. He didn't provoke him much, but he beat him ruthlessly. After thinking about it carefully, the queen became a little worried about Xiao Si.

Although she was secretly worried about Xiaosi, the queen did not forget to follow the holy will and smiled: "The sage is wise. Sister Concubine Zhen has served the sage for many years, and she is pregnant with the Ninth Prince, so she should also be a concubine."

Emperor Pingkang squeezed the queen's hand in satisfaction, and there will be benefits in the future, he will put him first in everything, speak considerately, and do everything according to his mind, no matter how big or small.

She paused and then said: "Sister Zhenfei is pregnant, and the concubine concubine ceremony is too long. The concubine is afraid that Concubine Zhen will be overworked, so the concubine concubine ceremony will be postponed for the time being. Everything will wait for Concubine Zhen to give birth to the ninth prince." talk later."

"That's fine." The fifth prince had just left, and Emperor Pingkang had no intention of celebrating, "Everything should be simple."

"Yes." The queen said gently, "I understand."

The queen sighed secretly, she could only do so much for Xiao Si's mother and son, and the concubine conferment ceremony was simplified, so Concubine Zhen's confidence was not so strong.

The queen secretly envied Concubine Zhen's good luck, and no matter because of her mother, Concubine Zhen's starting point was higher than others when she first entered the palace. The Ninth Prince returned to the concubine's treatment, that's all, she gave birth to a stupid Fifth Prince, if the Holy Majesty found out, she might be punished.

However, with the death of the Fifth Prince, not only did she gain the mercy of the Holy Majesty, she returned to the concubine position, and even the hidden danger of the Fifth Prince was gone. Is there any woman in the palace who can match her luck?

Huh!The queen's heart moved, and thinking about Concubine Zhen's attitude of only chasing her away when the fifth prince fell into the water, could it be...

But looking at the distressed look on the Holy Majesty's face, the Queen finally swallowed her momentary guess back.

After all, Concubine Zhen is the biological mother of the fifth prince. If you think about it... a tiger does not eat its offspring, it shouldn't be like this.

In the Palace of Chuxiu, Concubine Zhen personally watched as Nanny Zhen collected all the relics of the Fifth Prince.

It has been several days, and the whereabouts of the fifth prince cannot be found. Even the most iron-toothed Emperor Pingkang has to admit that Xiao Wu is probably gone, and quietly ordered people to prepare, but the bones of the fifth prince cannot be found. The concubine had to take some old clothes to make a tomb.

Concubine Zhen, who loves the fifth prince the most, unexpectedly didn't even touch the fifth prince's clothes, but just watched indifferently as Nanny Zhen gathered the clothes.

Concubine Zhen asked in a low voice: "Is the medicine hidden?"

"Okay." Mother Zhen also replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Hui has been demoted to Concubine Hui. It can be seen that this matter is only investigated on the eldest prince, and no one will suspect us."

"We didn't do it in the first place." Concubine Zhen's voice was unusually cold, she kept a straight face, and said one sentence at a time: "This thing was done by Concubine Hui and the First Prince, we are the victims!"

Yes, she didn't kill her own son, all of these were good deeds done by Concubine Hui and the First Prince, she just... just pushed her, making the First Prince want to teach Xiao Wu a lesson, and become Cheng directly killed Xiao Wu.

She didn't do anything, but just fueled the fire.

Concubine Zhen has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. She understands that the high-spirited nature of the sage may allow her to enjoy the concubine status forever, but she will definitely not be allowed to advance to the concubine position unless... there is one less concubine.

And with the temperament of the eldest prince, if the emperor does not let the sage know about Xiao Wu's illness, he will never be reconciled, and will take action again sooner or later, so she waited for this opportunity to get rid of the serious problem of her confidant, and pull Concubine Hui down by the way. Make a seat available.

As for Xiao Wu... Who told him to be born in this sick royal family?

"Yes!" The fear in Zhenmao's eyes flashed, and she followed Concubine Zhen's intentions and replied, "It's all because of Concubine Hui and the First Prince, Madam, we must not let them go."

Concubine Zhen's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she got up with her big belly, "Let's go!" Concubine Zhen walked directly to the door, not even willing to take a look at the fifth prince's former residence, "I still have to Chanting scriptures for the Fifth Prince."

At the end, Concubine Zhen's voice gradually dropped, at this moment, Concubine Zhen finally looked like a mother, but in Mo Gu's eyes, it was as ridiculous as crocodile tears.

Looking at the silent fifth prince, Mo Gu didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat the fifth prince on the shoulder.

"..." The Fifth Prince looked at Concubine Zhen's leaving figure for a long time, tightly pursed his lips, and did not say a word.

Mo Gu secretly sighed, although he knew that the Fifth Prince had mild autism, but he had never gotten along with this kind of children, and what he usually learned was not in this area, so he really didn't know how to take care of the Fifth Prince. She was abandoned by her mother, I'm afraid this temperament will become more closed.

The fifth prince fell into the water. Somehow, the fifth prince lost his strength and was unable to struggle. He sank to the bottom of the Jinshui River. He was supposed to die, but the safety talisman brought the fifth prince to Mo Gu's side in an instant, and then he escaped. One life.

After the incident with Nanny Jane, Mo Gu learned from the painful experience, mixed the safety talisman and the ephemeral talisman, and re-drawn the safety talisman. This new safety talisman can not only warn, but also serve as coordinates, allowing Mo Gu to rush to them in an instant, or This is to let them teleport to Mo Gu's side in an instant, and it will not happen that it was too late to save Nanny Jane like last time.

It's just that although the five emperors escaped from birth, they fell into the water in winter after all, and developed a high fever that night. Fortunately, Mogu was a drug dealer, and there were not many other medicines. After the merger, most of the fifth prince recovered within a few days. Once his condition stabilized, the fifth prince rushed back to the palace to see his mother and concubine.

It's just that they never expected that it was none other than the Fifth Prince's own mother, Concubine Zhen, who planned everything in the dark.

Mo Gu thought to himself, no wonder the God of Punishment Thunder did not fall in the Jingjun Prince's Mansion, but outside the Forbidden City. It turns out that the person who did this was actually a member of the palace.

As for why not directly land in Chuxiu Palace, because the Forbidden City is the place where the real dragon emperor lives, it would be good if he could hit the side and give a signal.

"Do you want to go back to the palace?" Mo Gu saw that the fifth prince had been looking at the direction of Concubine Zhen's departure and refused to leave for a long time. Knowing that he still couldn't bear his mother, he hesitated and said, "If you want to go back to the palace, it's not no."

Feel free to find a farmhouse, just say that you saved the Fifth Prince unintentionally. The Fifth Prince was seriously ill at the time. Later, I found out that it was the Fifth Prince. It is a happy event to find someone back. Emperor Pingkang would not look into it too much. something.

The fifth prince shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Liu Liu, I'll go with you."

The mother and concubine don't want him anymore, and he has nowhere to go.

"You are willing to part with your concubine mother?" Although Concubine Zhen is not worthy of being a mother, the fifth prince still has a lot of admiration for her. No matter how much she persuaded her, she refused to persuade her, and must go back to the palace to find Concubine Zhen.

The Fifth Prince shook his head, "My concubine doesn't want me."

As he said that, big tears fell from the fifth prince's eyes. He is not a fool, he knows it in his heart, so... he will also feel pain.

"Be good! Don't cry!" Maybe it's his own brother, but he is really different from other adoptive brothers. Although he has only met the Fifth Prince a few times, Mo Gu really loves this child.

Mo Gu patted his chest and promised: "It's okay if she doesn't want you, brother will support you!" Anyway, the family has raised a bunch of younger brothers, and this one is not bad.

Such an obedient child, how could Concubine Zhen have the heart to kill him?

The fifth prince looked at Mo Gu for a long time, without comment, and finally replied: "Liu Liu! You are younger than me!"

So he is the elder brother, and Liuliu is the younger brother.

"...It's not important! Anyway, call me brother from now on!"

Damn, they have to look at their inner age. According to their inner age, he is qualified to be his grandfather.

Then... the well-behaved Fifth Prince pouted for the first time and remained silent. It's so difficult to lie.
