"Stop." The emperor gave an order, and all the guards knelt down: "See the emperor."

The Fourteenth Master also knelt down: "Huang Ama."

The Ninth Master just knelt down in a daze and didn't speak.

The emperor looked at the fourteenth master and asked loudly, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Seeing that the injured guard was still spitting blood in his mouth and his body was still twitching, Kangxi said, "Come on, take the injured guard down to heal."

Several guards came over to help the injured guards down, and the emperor stared at the ninth master and asked, "Old Jiu, what kind of crazy illness are you having today, can you explain it to me?"

The Ninth Master knew that he couldn't tell the truth, but he was very sad in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent, the Ninth Master glanced at Shu Qiao, his eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and Shu Qiao was a little scared.

The ninth master turned around and replied to the emperor and said: "Huang Ama, the son is just drunk and crazy, and I beg the emperor Ama to punish the son and the minister heavily."

"Drunk? Your eighteenth brother has just passed away, and your second brother has also been imprisoned by me, but you are drinking here, and you dare to go crazy drunk, and you are ruthless to the guards, and you have no regard for human life. It can be seen that the emperor is very angry.

These days are taboo periods, and when so many things happen, it is easy to anger the emperor. This time, the Ninth Master did not find a reason for himself to excuse himself at all, but asked for "heavy punishment," Ninth Master, you want your own relief, but is this to increase Shu Qiao's guilt?

"Huang Ama." The Fourteenth Master couldn't bear it: "The ninth brother just made a mistake for a while, please think twice about the emperor." The Fourteenth Master turned to the Ninth Master: "Ninth Brother, quickly admit your mistake to Huang Ama."

But the Ninth Master didn't want to answer at all, just said lightly: "The ministers are willing to listen to the emperor's disposal."

"Spread my will, Brother Jiu does not want to forge ahead, cares for human life in vain, lacks benevolence and virtuousness, and from today on, he will be demoted to a common man and punished to Ningyuan Town, Zhejiang. until repentance. ”

After the emperor said this decision, everyone present, except for the ninth master, would be a little frightened.

"Huang Ama. Think again. The Fourteenth Master continued to plead, and right now, the only one who can speak for the Ninth Master must be himself.

"Whoever pleads again will be guilty of the same crime." The emperor left such a sentence and left.

Shu Qiao stood up. His eyes were just full of disgust, but there was no sympathy at all, Shu Qiao walked to the side of the ninth master step by step, and said coldly: "Do you think that if you do this, it will make me feel guilty about you?" I sue you, I don't think so at all, you found these things yourself, you are not a child anymore, please think about it next time. Don't get others hurt for you. Shu Qiao left without looking back.

The Fourteenth Master walked to the side of the Ninth Master, slowly squatted down, looked at the Ninth Master's demeanor of not being a human or a ghost, and was very distressed, and said, "Brother Jiu, why are you suffering? People don't appreciate it at all. ”

The next day, the ninth master was sent to Ningyuan Town, no one knew about the ninth master, this matter was carried out secretly, but more than a dozen elder brothers in the upper court still knew.

The Eighth and Fourteenth Masters. The Tenth Master sat together and discussed the matter of the Ninth Master.

Eighth Master: "I didn't expect that the ninth brother, who has been wandering around women all day, would love a woman so deeply, but people already have people who they like, so why should the ninth brother ask for hardship?" ”

Fourteenth Master: "You didn't see Brother Jiu's eyes at that time. is lifeless, has no intention of living at all, Brother Jiu wants to use this method to make Shu Qiao feel guilty and remember himself, but it is not useless. ”

Tenth Master: "I already knew that I would persuade Shu Qiao to stay away from Brother Jiu." Anyway, Shu Qiao doesn't like Brother Jiu. ”

The fourteenth master slapped the table: "I have long said that she is a water-based poplar woman, if she is not by the fourth brother's side, she will seduce the ninth brother, and if she is not by the ninth brother's side, she will seduce"

As he spoke, he looked at the eighth master, and saw that the eighth master was very calm, and the fourteenth master did not continue.

"You can't say that, all along, it was indeed the ninth brother who pestered Shu Qiao." Eighth Master.

"If she doesn't have any fox spirit skills, she can make friends with so many of us as soon as she comes to the capital." The more the Fourteenth Master spoke, the more angry he became, he stood up and said, "No, I can't just let the ninth brother suffer, but she is married to the fourth brother safely, hum." ”

After speaking, the fourteenth master turned around and left.

The tenth master shouted: "Fourteenth brother, where are you going?" ”

And the Fourteenth Master didn't mean to stop, "Tenth Brother, you go and watch the Fourteenth Brother, don't let him go too far." The eighth master instructed.

"Oh." Although the tenth master didn't understand the specific meaning of the eighth master's words, he probably still knew it, that is, to prevent the fourteenth master from doing something wrong.

Bafujin knew that Tuanxi was very unhappy, so he came to accompany Tuanxi, and the two of them were on the way to Concubine Yi's bedroom, Tuanxi kept saying sadly: "E-Niang knows about this, she is sick, and Brother Jiu is really, such a big person, he can't even measure a little, and he says that what I say on weekdays is the way, why is he so confused here?" ”

Bafujin said slowly: "Many people can't escape a love word, and when they meet an inappropriate person, after all, it's just a shallow relationship." ”

"What kind of love is shallow, I think, it is that woman who has a big heart and can pretend to be too many men, so that Brother Jiu will cause a big disaster." Tuanxi scolded Shu Qiao very angrily.

Suddenly, I saw Shu Qiao walking alone from the opposite side, Tuanxi walked over and slapped Shu Qiao,

Shu Qiao, who was covering his face, changed his mind in an instant, and muttered to himself in his heart: Imperial brothers?

Shu Qiao glanced at Bafujin, and realized that he had indeed almost "seduced" the eighth master: do it yourself.

Holding his left face back, he came to the fourth master's mansion, and the fourth master looked at Shu Qiao and asked, "Have you said goodbye to Eniang?" ”

"Yes." Shu Qiao nodded.

The fourth master found that Shu Qiao seemed to be unhappy, and his hand was still covering his cheek, so he wanted to take Shu Qiao's hand away: "What are you doing all the time?" ”

took Shu Qiao's hand away, but found that Shu Qiao's face was slightly swollen and had some red fingerprints, "Who is this ruthless?" ”

"It's okay, you can go get an egg for me to put on my face." Shu Qiao also didn't want to make things difficult for the fourth master to have a bad relationship with his sister, although he was not the same mother, but at least he was the same father.

"If you don't say it, I know who it is, but her temperament is more spicy." The fourth master touched Shu Qiao's cheek with some distress.

Shu Qiao just smiled indifferently: "Okay." Go get my eggs for me. ”

"Okay, then you go back to the house first." Fourth Master.

"Yes." Shu Qiao nodded.

Just walked back to the courtyard, and was about to sit down on the stool when someone pulled it away, waiting for Shu Qiao to see it clearly. He got some scolding from the Fourteenth Master: "You are so comfortable, you can sit down and rest alone, if you still have a little conscience, you should go and persuade Brother Jiu to admit your mistakes to Huang Ama as soon as possible." Otherwise, you will be able to become a family member safely. ”

Shu Qiao shook off the hand of the Fourteenth Master and said, "The Ninth Master's temperament should be honed well." ”

"Training," the fourteenth master took out a small notebook from his arms and threw it on the table, "You look at the current life of the ninth brother, if you talk about grinding, which of the brothers in the palace has not been honing since childhood, living in the palace, we must learn to observe the words and feelings of the emperor." Even as sons, we don't dare to be too flamboyant in front of Huang Ama, for more than 20 years, Brother Jiu has been doing well, this time because of you, you are the culprit, shouldn't you be responsible for this matter? ”

"It's all my fault, isn't it? Then are you going to slap me in the face, just right. Shu Qiao glared at the Fourteenth Master, why did he blame everything on himself.

"You?" The Fourteenth Master raised his hand and wanted to hit Shu Qiao. However, seeing that Shu Qiao didn't mean to dodge at all, the Fourteenth Master couldn't do it.

"Stop," as soon as the fourth master came over with an egg, he saw the picture of the fourteenth master raising his hand to hit Shu Qiao. The fourth master walked in front of the fourteenth master and blocked: "Fourteenth brother, will you do this too much." ”

The Fourteenth Master also knew that he had gone too far, so he just calmly said to Shu Qiao: "You think about my words," the Fourteenth Master looked at the Fourth Master again and said, "Fourth brother, I'll go first." ”

The fourth master was very worried about Shu Qiao's love, and put an egg on Shu Qiao's face: "Don't think about it." It is believed that Huang Ama is just a small punishment for the ninth brother. ”

"Yes." Shu Qiao nodded, and took the egg and put it on his face.

At night, Shu Qiao sat alone in the room, opened the book left by the Fourteenth Master, and the pictures inside were actually some drunk, beaten pictures, tattered thatched houses, ragged clothes, I couldn't help but think of Tuanxi and Fourteen's words, thinking about the lights: The matter of the Ninth Master, although it is not my business, but it is always caused by me, whether I and him are in modern times or now, after all, I have already regarded him as a friend, the Fourteenth Master is right, if I don't solve the matter of the Ninth Master, how can I have a happy life with the Fourth Master. The Ninth Master is in a slump now, if he accidentally takes the worry of his life and disturbs history, this is not what I want to see.

"Sister." In his thoughts, he was startled back by Xiao Zheng's shout.

"Xiao Zheng, why are you here?" Shu Qiao hugged Xiao Zheng, it was already cold outside, Xiao Zheng's cheeks were slightly red from the cold, and it was very cold to the touch.

Seeing that the Tenth Master was also following behind, Shu Qiao understood how Xiao Zheng came out.

"Sister, is it okay for you to go with me to find Amma, E-Niang and the subordinates refuse to take me, is it okay for you to take it." Xiao Zheng said crying.

"I also saw him a little child sneaking out of the palace, and was caught by the guards, crying and begging me to come to you, so I brought him." The tenth master said on the side.

Looking at Xiao Zheng's appearance, Shu Qiao touched Xiao Zheng's tears, "Sister promised you, sister will help you go to see you Amma, what about you, study hard in the capital, wait for my sister to bring Ama back, let you Ama see the results of your hard work, okay." ”

"But, I want to go." Xiao Zheng is very aggrieved.

"If you Ama knew that you were not well-behaved, she would definitely spank you again, listen to my sister, don't go, okay." Shu Qiao patiently persuaded.

"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded, Shu Qiao stood up and said, "Tenth Master, you take Xiao Zheng back, it's not too early." ”

"You really went to find Brother Jiu." The Tenth Master asked very happily, and seeing Shu Qiao nodded, the Tenth Master said, "Okay, if you take care of the Ninth Brother, the Ninth Brother will definitely be fine." The tenth master went over and pulled Xiao Zheng: "Hongzheng, let's go." ”

"Goodbye, sister." Small Politics.

"Goodbye." After Shu Qiao watched them leave, he took a letter of paper and pen and ink from the cabinet and began to write a letter, not wanting the fourth master to know that he was leaving, so this era is the way to leave a letter.

It happened to be dawning, and Shu Qiao wore a cloak and cloak to block the cold wind and light snow. Carrying a small baggage, ready to leave at this time.

"Are you really going?" The fourth master stood in the snow, not wearing a cloak, although there was no cold wind, but he could vaguely feel the coldness of the snow.

I was very surprised how the fourth master was there, I didn't answer for the time being, walked over, took off my cloak, and was about to put it on the fourth master, but I was grabbed by the hand and asked, "Answer me." ”

"Fourth Master, Ninth Master was punished because of me, whenever I think of him being trampled on the soles of his feet like an ant now, I feel that this qiē is all my fault, and I am a sinner in this history." I couldn't cry, and deeply complained that I didn't handle the relationship between myself and the ninth master, and hurt the ninth master, especially thinking that the ninth master was punished to the people because of himself, from the former high-ranking prince to the current commoner, he didn't know if he could survive: Fourth master, history can't be changed, if the ninth master dies because of this, I don't know if this history still exists, I still don't have it, you still have it, so the sin I created can only be borne by myself, I'm sorry.

Before I knew it, I was already crouching on the ground.

Warmth suddenly appeared on my shoulders, and it was the fourth master who put my cloak on my shoulders again.

"Actually, I understand, you just don't want to live under the blame of the fourteenth brother, you don't want me to be embarrassed, you don't want anyone to get hurt because of you, you go." The fourth master said what he didn't want to say very calmly, maybe it was because he was crying too sadly, in addition to being sad, there was also pain.

I looked at the fourth master with my eyes open, and my eyes were full of gratitude for his understanding. I was hugged, and I only heard a voice around the fourth master in my ears: "Promise me, don't fall in love with the ninth brother." ”

I understand what the fourth master is worried about, the ninth master usually lingers in the pile of women, and he is very set about girls, if the ninth master is willing to chase a girl, he will always please a girl.

I took out the knife, and the sound of the dagger made the fourth master's heart tremble, and he quickly grabbed my hand: "What are you doing." ”

I took the fourth master's hand and slowly put it down, took off my hairpin, and all the hair coiled in a circle fell out at once, I took a handful of hair, cut it in half, and put it on the fourth master's hand: "When the hair reaches the waist again, I will definitely come back and tie the knot with you." ”

The fourth master took the hair that took my hand, and said with a wry smile: "Long hair up to the waist, tie the knot, I'll wait for you." ”

"Hmm." I nodded fiercely, after crying, it's time to go, if I don't leave, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to give up, and I'm afraid that the fourth master will change his mind, I won't look back and run away, I ran out of the Four Kings' Mansion in one breath, and I didn't dare to stay in this place where I thought it was home, because it was always sad to leave home. I rode my horse, ran all the way, ran all the way, and did not dare to rest.

Sifujin walked over, squatted down and hugged the fourth master, and said distressedly: "Fourth master, you have been sitting for half an hour, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid you will really hurt your body." ”

The fourth master didn't speak, just stared at Shu Qiao's hair.

"It's not like Miss Qiao won't come back, if you hurt yourself, how will you explain to Miss Qiao in the future." Sifujin held the cold hands of the fourth master, very distressed and a little jealous.

"Actually, I'm most afraid that Shu Qiao will accidentally fall in love with the ninth brother, and in this life, I don't want to lose him." For the first time, the fourth master spoke to Sifujin like a child, and he didn't want to lose the person he loved, which made Sifujin have a deeper ** want to protect the fourth master.

"No, Miss Qiao is a person with deep affection, you have to believe him." Sifujin could only be so comforted. "Master, let's go in."

The fourth master slowly stood up and went in with Sifujin's hand. (To be continued.) )
