Yin Zhen's expression was cold, and he said coldly: "Since he is no longer on a mission, he should be his prince well, what do you want to do, are you not annoying enough?" ”

Nala's body shrank, and said in fear: "The emperor is angry, the concubine will talk to Hongshi, but Hongshi ......" She hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage This: "Hongshi is also worried about the Qing Dynasty and the defeat of the war, so he is so concerned, and please don't blame him." ”

Yin Zhen snorted coldly and didn't speak, and after glancing at him, the Nala clan suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that everything happened because of Yingge, and it was he who made a big mistake and affected Hongshi, but Hongshi really didn't know anything about that matter. ”

Yin Zhen waved his hand a little unhappily: "Okay, I don't want to listen to this now, you get up." ”

Nala mourned: "Your Majesty, the person most respected in Hongshi's heart has always been the emperor, and he has never changed. The emperor went to all his errands, and he never complained a word in front of his concubines, but now he saw that Tsarist Russia and Dzungar had joined forces to deal with my Qing Dynasty, and he was worried about the safety of the Qing Dynasty, so he would say such things. Your Majesty, Hongshi is your son, don't you even believe him? ”

Listening to her words, Yinzhen sighed and said: "It's not that I don't believe him, but there are some things, it's better for him to avoid them as much as possible, Yingge's incident, whether he is involved in it or not, is because of him after all, and going to an errand is not necessarily a bad thing for him." Like you said, he is my son, and I always want him to be safe, and any parent would not want his children to be safe. As for errands or something, I can talk about it slowly in the future. ”

Nala's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "The emperor is hardworking, and the concubine understands that the concubine will go to talk to Hongshi, in fact, he has no grievances in his heart, just a heart and mind to do his part for the Qing Dynasty." He told his concubines that even if it was just a pawn and a small soldier. ”

Yin Zhen motioned for Nala to get up and said, "Wait for the future, I will give him a chance." ”

Nala wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded happily, "The concubine thanked the emperor when he was in charge." ”

Yin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, you sit down for a while, and then I will go to dinner with you after I finish reading these battle reports." ”

In this regard, the Nala clan naturally had no objections, and waited quietly aside, and only left the Heart Cultivation Hall after having lunch with Yinzhen.

On the way, it suddenly snowed again, and it was cold on the face, and Nala quickly returned to Kunning Palace, but found that there was no charcoal in the palace, which made the palace extremely cold and did not have the slightest warmth. Nala suddenly lowered his face and scolded: "On such a cold day, why don't you make a charcoal basin, do you want to freeze to death in the palace?" ”

The cuckoo hurriedly knelt down and said aggrievedly: "Because there is not much silver charcoal left in the palace, and the slaves and maids dare not receive more, so only when the master is there, will the charcoal pot be made." ”

"Why don't you dare to get it? Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs still dares to detain the palace? In the face of Nala's reprimand, Du Juan didn't dare to speak, but Xiao Ningzi said: "Master, you can't blame Du Juan for this matter, it was all taken by Concubine Xi to take the lead in making trouble, saying that the front-line war is tight, and the palace should throttle as much as possible, save money to support the front-line war, and later Concubine Cheng and even the emperor no longer use charcoal. ”

"It's her again, and she's really ghostly." Saying this, Nala did not reprimand the cuckoo again, and the latter hurried to bring the charcoal basin, and then put the red-hot coals into the basin, and took the hand warmer and handed it to Nala Clan. After the room gradually warmed up, Nala breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Xiao Ningzi to untie his cloak.

After Xiao Ningzi put the cloak on the shelf, he said softly: "Master, is the emperor suspicious of the second elder brother?" ”

Nala stroked the hand warmer wrapped in an emerald green cotton sleeve in his hand, and said slowly: "This palace has been paying attention to the emperor's look just now, and what he said should be true, and there is still a trace of father-son affection for Hongshi, and it doesn't look like a suspicious look." ”

Xiao Ningzi perked up, lowered his voice and said, "So, this incident is an opportunity rather than a trap for the second elder brother?" ”

"yes, I've waited so long, and the opportunity ...... It's finally here! The Nala clan evoked a cold smile, finally this moment, as long as Hongshi won the throne, then the account between her and the Niu Hulu clan could be settled.

"Do you want a slave to go out of the palace to inform the second elder brother?" Facing Xiao Ningzi's inquiry, Nala shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there is no news from Zhungar's side, in case Yunli wins and returns to the dynasty with a large army, then Hongshi's position will be difficult to sit firm." So, it's best to wait until you have definite news. ”

"What the master said is that the slave is a little worried, in case Prince Yi's condition improves and he returns to the Fengtai camp, it will be a great opportunity to miss it."

"Do you think Yunxiang's sick seedling can get better?" Nala hooked his red lips and said sarcastically: "Although Xu Rongyuan has always helped Niu Hulu, his medical skills are even admired by this palace, and in this world, I am afraid that no one can match it." If there was really a way to save Yunxiang, how could he have allowed his condition to deteriorate in the past two years. Yunxiang's body, which has lasted for so many years, can be regarded as enough. Unless...... He was pretending. ”

Xiao Ningzi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The slave thinks this is not very likely, when the second elder brother went to see Prince Yi before, he clearly heard the fourth elder brother crying inside. ”

Nala narrowed his eyes and said: "So, now I'll send Yunli over there, see if Hongshi can use the marching map obtained by Jiang Ying to firmly hold Yunli, of course, if you can kill him, Yunli will die, then ...... All the obstacles are really completely solved. ”

Yunli didn't know about this happening in the capital, all his thoughts were now focused on the battle with Junggar, which had been fought for several months, and although Geerdan's troops were inferior to him, except after the first confrontation, he did not fall into a significant disadvantage, making the war stalemate.

It seems that he is holding the border pass, but the fact is not, the two battles almost dragged down the soldiers and the second division, especially the Yaksa side, because of the successive defeats, and increased the number of troops by 50,000, which made the second division of the soldiers, which was already about to be dragged down, even worse.

Therefore, the longer this war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Qing Dynasty, once the supply of grain and grass is not available, they will starve to death first without Zhun Geer fighting, so in the next time, they must fight quickly.

Just as Yunli was thinking about what to do next, Sori hurriedly walked into the tent and said in a low voice: "Lord, the emperor sent someone to send a secret decree!" ”
