Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Besides, after Daiyu left, she couldn't help thinking to herself: "I didn't mention my identity just now, how did Babeile know? Princess Lun's phoenix chariot can be described as a big battle. But you shouldn't know your identity. Could it be that there is Babeile's informant in Uncle Huang's Qianqing Palace, or that Jia's mansion and Babeile are on the same boat? "Thinking of this, I don't feel a secret shock in my heart. If this is the case, this Yin Si is afraid that the city is very scheming.

However, although Daiyu was a little worried, she didn't take it seriously, because now she really wanted to know some things that happened before Empress Tong Jia passed away. Regarding her status, Daiyu couldn't ask the Queen Mother directly, so she had to ask Lagu Su Ma, who was also of high status in the palace at that time, hoping to get some useful information from her.

When she was thinking, Daiyu had already arrived at Jingxin Garden.I saw that although the Jingxin Garden was built on the basis of the Compassionate Ning Palace, it has its own style and is very clean and comfortable. People have to sigh that it is rare to have such a peaceful place in a troubled place like the Imperial Palace. It is really worthy of its name. .

After entering the Jingxin Garden, there was a maid who led Daiyu to see Lagu Su Ma. The maid was left by Kangxi to serve Lagu Su Ma. Her name was Ruxue. She also knew that Daiyu had an extremely noble status. Therefore, while leading Daiyu forward, he said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, the concubine Rong Gui and the twelve elder brothers are also there, the girl should be careful, although the empress Rong Gui and the twelve elder brothers are both He is a very talkative person, but in the end it is better to be careful." After hearing this, Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you, sister Ruxue, Daiyu will remember it."

Ruxue smiled faintly, opened the door curtain of a room, and said, "Miss, please come in." Daiyu thanked her and walked in.When I got to the inner hall, I saw Concubine Rong and Elder Brother Twelve sitting in front of Aunt Su Ma talking and laughing.Daiyu smiled slightly, then walked over to salute, and said: "Daiyu has seen Mama Su, Concubine Rong, and Elder Brother Twelve."

La Aunt Su Ma saw Daiyu, her eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while she smiled and said, "So it's Miss Lin, please sit down quickly." La Aunt Su Ma was already in front of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang before she married Emperor Taizong Waiting on her, she knew clearly about the identity of the Lin family, although she was respected by the emperor, but after all she was just a slave, so she was not worthy of Daiyu's courtesy.

Daiyu said: "Daiyu came to the palace today because she heard Uncle Huang say that Mother Su was unwell, and because she thought that her father had been taught by Mother Su when she was young, and that Mother Su was just like Daiyu's grandmother, so I came to visit her. Mother Su." La Aunt Su Ma couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Your father was originally the grandson of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and he is also a brother with a different surname from the Emperor. I am already grateful that he can remember me as an old servant. There is no end to it." Daiyu said: "Mom, don't say that. For the Qing imperial family, mother has made great achievements. How can you just write it off!" Daiyu admires Lagu Su Ma very much. This woman, Throughout her life, she never married, but dedicated all her love to the Qing imperial family.

Aunt Su Ma knew that Daiyu didn't come here just to see her, but for Yinzhen.Thinking of Yinzhen, Aunt Su Ma couldn't help sighing, that was a poor child, since Queen Xiaoyiren passed away, she had never seen that child's smile.I have lived long enough, so I don't have anything to worry about even if I die like this. Thinking of this, La Aunt Su Ma couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "Empress Xiao Yiren, La Aunt Su Ma will eventually break her promise and send What happened back then has been revealed.”

Sighing, Aunt Su Ma said to Dai Yu: "Miss Lin, I know why you came here. I know very well what you want to ask, but I promised Queen Xiaoyiren back then, I decided not to tell this matter. But since the death of Empress Xiaoyiren, I have been thinking about whether I did the right thing or wrong in agreeing to her. After Empress Ren passed away, there was no smile, and I began to regret it. I wanted to tell this matter several times, but at that time the emperor entrusted me with the burden of raising the twelve princes. Before I finished, I couldn’t say anything. ah."

Then he glanced at Concubine Rong and Yinxuan again, and said: "The twelve elder brothers have grown up now, I know your character well, and Concubine Rong is also someone I trust very much, I don't want to continue to hide this matter You guys, but I hope you can guarantee that what I will say next must not be said unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it will be extremely detrimental to Sibeile." Concubine Rong and Yinxuan looked at each other solemnly when Lagu Su Ma said, Then nodded.

Aunt Su Ma said to Daiyu, Concubine Rong, and Yinxuan: "Actually Sibeile is not the son of Concubine De, but the son of the Emperor and Empress Xiaoyiren." Daiyu knew about this a long time ago, so she did not Not too surprised, but Concubine Rong and Yinxuan's eyes widened, as if they didn't believe it.After hearing this, Concubine Rong couldn't help asking: "But when Sibeile was born, didn't Empress Xiao Yiren have already been conferred the title of noble concubine? Moreover, Empress Xiao Zhaoren had passed away at that time, and it was Xiao Yi who was Concubine Yi at that time." Empress Ren manages the harem and is in charge of the Phoenix seal, but the concubine De was only a maid at that time. Why did the emperor promote the concubine De, who was a court lady at that time, to be a concubine because of Sibeile's birth, and then hand over Sibeile to Xiao? Isn't it superfluous for Empress Yiren to raise her?"

Aunt Su Ma shook her head and said: "The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang once said a word, she said: 'The Aixinjueluo family has no lack of love, but this love is the emperor.' Everyone thought she was talking about Emperor Taizongwen and Emperor Shizu. In fact, this sentence also includes the current emperor. There is always someone in the emperor's heart, and that person is Empress Xiaoyiren. But because of the lessons learned from the past, the emperor dare not love Xiaoyi too much Empress Ren is afraid that if she is not careful, it will bring disaster to her, so the only way to ensure that Empress Xiaoyiren will not be harmed is to let Empress Xiaoyiren have no children of her own, but God knows how much the emperor wants to have him The child of Empress Xiaoyiren, so he couldn't bear to let Empress Xiaoyiren take sterilization medicine, and at that time the emperor suddenly thought of the civet cat in history for the prince, so he also learned to steal the beam and change the post, and pretended Sibeile to be the concubine De. Concubine De gave birth to Empress Xiaoyiren. But because Concubine De was indeed pregnant at that time, but it was a premature birth, Concubine De did not know that the child was transferred. Therefore, she always hated Empress Xiaoyiren for taking it away. Four baylors."

Aunt Su Mala said: "Few people know about this matter. Except for me, the emperor and the deceased Empress Xiao Yiren, there are only two people who know." "Which two people?" Daiyu asked hurriedly, she Wondering if my guess is correct.Aunt Su Mala said: "It's the current queen mother and concubine Yi." Sure enough!Daiyu's heart sank, no wonder her father kept telling her to be careful of Concubine Yi before she went to Beijing, it was because of this.

When La Aunt Su Ma said this, she couldn't help sighing again: "But the emperor's hard work was in vain. I don't know why, this matter was later known to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui informed the Prime Minister about it. Knowing that this is a great opportunity to bring down the Tong family, she will not miss it. After knowing this, Empress Xiao Yiren committed suicide in order to preserve the Tong family. Before she died, she came to me and asked me to keep this matter secret and not to disclose it. Go out, otherwise Sibeile will bring about a murder." Then, Aunt Su Ma said: "Although I don't understand what she meant by the murder, I also know that the emperor's appointment of the prince was just to appease the prime minister. , not out of sincerity, so I am afraid that sooner or later Sibeiler will be involved because of the seizure of the heir. In order not to disappoint Queen Xiao Yiren, I agreed to come down, and after discussing with the Queen Mother, I decided to send Sibeile to To be brought up by Concubine De. But I didn't expect..."

When Daiyu heard this, she had some clues, so she asked Aunt Su Ma again: "Mother Su, do you know why the sixth elder brother Yinzuo went to the edge of the city wall and fell down the moat?" Su Ma Aunt La frowned, and said: "I'm not very clear about this, but I do know that Brother Six was not the only one who went to that city at the time, and Four Baylor also went there at that time, but because he was born When he was sick, he rested in the room, so at that time only the prince, the eighth beile and the sixth elder brother were on the edge of the city wall. Although the eldest elder brother and the ninth elder brother were also there, they did not approach the city wall. As a result, for some reason, suddenly There was a scream, and the sixth elder brother fell into the moat. But because it was night and the water flow was strong, the sixth elder brother's body was not found, and now there is only a clothes tomb in the imperial tomb."

"I see. It seems that this matter is far from as simple as I imagined. The battle for the heirloom may have started as early as then. Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are indeed smart. This trick is to kill people with a knife and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight." The strategy is really powerful."

After a long time, Dai Yufang came out from Jingxin Garden, along with Concubine Rong Gui and Twelve Elder Brother Yinxuan, the three of them were very heavy-hearted, none of them thought that Kangxi was carrying such a heavy past in his heart.Thinking about it, if La Aunt Su Ma didn't speak out today, it would be difficult for them to understand why Kangxi has not established a queen since the death of Empress Xiao Yiren, but kept taking in new concubines one after another. Thinking about it, he was in these Maybe the shadow of Empress Xiaoyiren can be found among the women!

The three of them left the Jingxin Garden, and each went in their own direction.At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the Forbidden City, but it unexpectedly made people feel that the resplendent Forbidden City had a somewhat desolate color.
