The days of the vermilion wall deep courtyard slowly passed in comfort and loneliness, unconsciously the cicada song gradually subsided, after a few storms, the withered yellow leaves quietly spread all over the deep garden, the fallen leaves falling with the wind swept the ground, in addition to the dust, can not keep the footsteps of summer, nor can take away the bleakness of autumn, just use the last strength to dance the wonder of life, summer is quietly gone, in the blink of an eye is August. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August was very simple, Yinzhen was not there, and the Wulanala clan had no intention of doing it, so they added wine, food, meals and snacks to each courtyard according to the routine, and gave some jewels and jade rewards, even if it was sloppy. Without Hongli, Hongli didn't seem to be in high spirits, and Qian and I had no intention of admiring the moon because we had our own hearts, so we simply made some side dishes that suited our taste, sat down and talked about the conversation and dispersed.

Yinzhen and Hongli are the capital that returned with the emperor on September 27. Hongli didn't even have time to return to Prince Yong's mansion, so he was directly taken into Changchun Garden by Kangxi as a companion. Yin Zhen has rarely come to the inner house since Nian's birth of Fuhui, and he is busy outside all day, even if he goes home, he rushes into the study in the front yard, and he is busy until late at night to rest there.

There is no fighting in the inner house now, and the days of peace and quiet have become boring. It's just that this calm is like a scene before a storm, and it is more and more dull and oppressive, which makes people feel frightened and uneasy.

Entering October, I talked less and less, and often fell into a long contemplation, which made Qian and Xiaoshunzi a little worried, but every time I asked, I could shake my head and say nothing. No one knew what I was thinking, and no one understood my anxiety.

On the ninth day of October, Kangxi ordered Yanxin and others to accompany Yinzhen to survey the granaries in Tongzhou and other places, and Kangxi, who was still unsatisfied with the siege of Rehe, went to Nanyuan again at this time.

Kangxi was already an old man in his seventies at this time, even if he was unwilling, and wanted to prove that he could still be old and strong by hunting again and again, he couldn't change the fact that he was no longer young. The weather in the capital in winter is cold, especially in the night of winter, during the day on the sixth day of the first day of November, Yanxin, who was ordered to check the warehouse with Yinzhen, went to Nanyuan to report to Kangxi about the inspection, Yinzhen and Yanxin and others felt that Kangxi's breath was weak when they saw Kangxi, and their faces were thinner. The sudden illness made everyone confused, but no one would have thought that this wind chill would become a fatal blow.

On the seventh day of November, Kangxi moved back to Changchun Garden from Nanyuan due to illness.

On November 9, Emperor Kangxi ordered Yinzhen to go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky, but Yinzhen refused to go in the name of "holy bowing", and begged to stay with Kangxi many times, but Kangxi refused.

On the tenth day of the first month of November, Yanxin and the ministers of the Eight Banners made an appointment to visit Kangxi, but Kangxi asked them not to come again, and Yanxin and they did not go again. On this day, Yinzhen sent guards into the dormitory three times in one day, and in the following days, he continued to send guards into the palace several times a day.

Since November, I have asked Xiao Shunzi to report to me every day on the movements of the palace, Kangxi and Yinzhen, and the news sent by Xiao Shunzi has made my heart sink more and more. Kangxi is indeed sick because of his own physical reasons, and this point is not Yin Zhen's hands and feet, but Yin Zhen must have seen that Kangxi may not have much time this time, and he is now constantly sending guards in and out, but he has not alarmed any princes and ministers, and even the palace concubine has not received news to serve the sick, what is he trying to do.

"Is there a royal doctor around?" I asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Shunzi was silent for a moment and said, "No, there is no one else around the emperor except the master." ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and my lips moved for a long time before I asked, "You tell me honestly, did the people over there do the sticky poles do it? What is the situation in the capital now?"

Xiao Shunzi's expression was grim, and he didn't know everything as usual, but just knelt down on his knees, bowed his head and was silent. As soon as I saw his actions, I knew that he didn't need to answer anything, obviously the people at the sticky pole moved, Yinzhen had put the sick Kangxi under house arrest, and the people in Changchun Garden must have all been replaced by Yinzhen's people, otherwise Concubine De and the other concubines would not have gotten any news at all. The palace must have been besieged, otherwise the hospital knew that the emperor was sick, but no one went to treat him, and no one sent news to the other princes. I'm afraid that even the outskirts of the capital are already heavily guarded. Yinzhen finally began to force the palace in this way, which seemed to be bloodless gentleness, but in fact it was even more cruel to Kangxi - after all, there was still a son who took this step, whether he wanted to force him to give way in this way, or wanted to watch him die because of the delay in treatment, this is an unacceptable reality for Kangxi as an emperor or a father, maybe Kangxi really realized at this moment that this person had no desire and a low-key and filial son who had no desire and was so thoughtful.

"Waiting for the change, I'm going to see Fu Jin. "The matter has come to this, there must not be any chaos in Prince Yong's mansion, this news can not be known to others, but it must not be hidden from the Wulanala clan.

Xiao Shunzi knew what I was thinking, so she hurriedly got up and took care of it, went out of the house when she was young, and went to the Qian family first, so that she could take care of Hongli and Hongday, and be sure not to let the two of them run around. Hongli was originally in the palace, but he was sent back to the palace because Kangxi was ill. Hongday also sent someone to summon him back in advance after hearing that Kangxi was sick, and took a leave of absence on the grounds that I was unwell and needed my son to serve on my side.

Seeing that Xiao Shunzi and I looked solemn, Qian knew that something big must have happened, so he didn't dare to ask more, but he just responded to my words and took the two children into his house to take care of them.

I hurried to the side of the Ulanala clan and told all the servants and maids in the house to retreat before telling the Ulanala clan what was going on and what I had guessed.

The Wulanala clan was also shocked as I reflected before, but it was worthy of being a woman born in a noble royal family, but at this time, she calmed down and said solemnly: "Your thoughts are right, at this time, the mansion must not be chaotic, and it is not possible for people outside to see a clue, it is not clear how many hidden piles have been buried in this mansion now, in short, don't let people see anything on the bright side." ”

"What my sister said is that everything is as usual on the face, but you must look at it strictly when you go in and out, it is better to say that someone in the house has recently found that someone has unclean hands and feet, and secretly takes things out, so now the people who enter and leave the house must be checked, and all suspicious people will be taken down first. I thought for a moment and proposed: "In addition, the guards, officials and guards of Prince Yong's Mansion must be on guard, and if there is any trouble, they can have a response." ”

Ulanala nodded yes, and after thinking through it from beginning to end, she and I didn't dare to delay too much, and began to make arrangements.

Leaving the courtyard of the Wulanala clan, I reminded Xiao Shunzi: "Look at the courtyards of the Li family, Hongshi and Yi clans strictly, as long as they dare to act rashly at this time, they don't have to wait for the fourth master to come back and get rid of them directly, don't be soft." ”

Junko nodded, he knew exactly what I meant. These people are more or less directly or indirectly related to the Eight Masters Party and the Concubine De in the palace, even if the layout of Prince Yong's mansion is low-key, it is impossible to do no movement at all, if Yinzhen has not gained power before he alarms any party, the consequences will be unimaginable, that is the real catastrophe.
