Chapter 192: Fornication in the Court
Ling Ruo's sleep has never been very good, and now he was woken up like this, although he was very sleepy, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he kept his eyes open until dawn, and Yinzhen never came back, Ling Ruo was accidentally stopped by the guards guarding the door when he went to Changchun Garden to deliver the decoction, saying that he was ordered by the emperor that no one was allowed to enter and leave Changchun Garden today, including Ling Ruo.
Before leaving, Ling Ruo noticed that the large palace gate, which had always had only four guards, suddenly doubled today, to eight, and all of them had serious expressions, always alert to the wind and grass around them.
What's going on in Changchun Garden? And how does it involve the prince?
This question was still hovering in Ling Ruo's mind until she fell asleep, and after falling asleep in a daze, I don't know how long later, her hand suddenly touched something other than the brocade quilt, which frightened her to wake up immediately, and by the moonlight shining into the house through the window screen, she was stunned to find that there was a dark shadow around her, and she was lying beside her.
Just when Ling Ruo was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, the black shadow spoke up, "It's me!" ”
"Fourth Master?" The screams that had reached his lips were stopped by this voice, Ling Ruo got out of bed and lit the candles on the copper candlestick, when the orange candlelight dispelled the darkness that shrouded the room, Ling Ruo saw Yinzhen's appearance at this moment, her expression was extremely tired, her eyes were deep blue-black, and her chin was a blue scum, and she had only seen him for a day.
"Fourth Master!" Ling Ruo held his hand distressedly, "What happened?" Why is Changchun Garden under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave? ”
"Changchun Garden......" Yin Zhen shook his head bitterly, he still felt ridiculous when he thought about it, he reached out and hugged Ling Ruo's soft body in his arms, his chin rested against her neck socket and said in a low voice: "Prince...... was found to have had an affair with Zheng Guiren, **Gong Yu! ”
Rao is Ling Ruo has already thought of many possibilities, and when he heard this, he was still disgusted, **Gong Yu - this is a great event in all dynasties, not to mention the prince, although Zheng Guiren has no blood relationship with the prince, but nominally he is always the prince's elder, and the two fornication is tantamount to chaos!
"Does the emperor know about this?" In fact, the answer has been revealed, Sixi is Li Dequan's apprentice, he came to summon him, obviously under Kangxi's order, and then took a step back and said, if there was no Kangxi's order, how could Changchun Garden be so vigilant. It's just that Ling Ruo always had a glimmer of hope, and she didn't want the old man who was so good to her to be hurt so deeply.
"This matter is what Huang Ama saw with his own eyes." Yin Zhen's voice revealed an unconcealable tiredness, "On that day, the emperor Ama originally turned over the sign of the Jing noble, but the Jing nobleman saw that the moonlight was excellent, so he invited the emperor Ama to go to the Wutong Pavilion where Zheng Guiren was located. ”
Although Yinzhen didn't say anything, Ling Ruo could imagine that Kangxi must have been angry at that time, "Is the emperor okay?" ”
"What do you say?" Yinzhen raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Huang Ama Zai Jianlang is also nearly sixty years old, how can he withstand the blow of this ** palace, I heard Gonggong Li say that Huang Ama was angry on the spot and held his breath, and when I arrived, Huang Ama was lying on the bed, and the imperial doctor surrounded him, and it was not easy to wake up Huang Ama . ”
"Is there only one person who enters Changchun Garden?" Ling Ruo heard something strange from this, according to Yinzhen's words, it seemed that he was the only one who knew about this matter, and it was reasonable that such a big thing happened, it was impossible not to inform other elder brothers, such as Yinzhi, Yinzhen and others.
"And the thirteenth brother!" Yin Zhen stared at the hazy candlelight flickering on the candlestick and said in a deep voice: "Before Huang Ama fainted, let Li Dequan summon all the princes to Changchun Garden to see him, but this matter is very important, once it is rumored that the position of the crown prince who has been restored by the second brother will be abolished again, even if Huang Ama Nian tolerates him in the love of father and son, but the officials do not allow it, the brothers do not allow it, for the sake of the country, the emperor Ama must abolish him again to calm the anger; What's more, Yinxi has always coveted the position of the prince, although Huang Ama once said in public that he was born to a cheap maid of Xinzhiku, and he could not be established as a prince, but I have never eradicated Yinxi's heart to seize the throne, and he is still surrounded by the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth, once the prince is deposed, the three of them have a chance; The second brother also understood this in his heart, so he forced Li Dequan not to pass on anyone other than me and the thirteenth brother. This time Yinzhen didn't call Yinren the prince again, I think he also has some disdain for Yinren in his heart, he and Yinxiang have been supporting such a person all these years, which is really disappointing.
Ling Ruo was silent, there are nearly twenty princes in the saint today, except for a few people, all of them are extraordinary, so it is inevitable that they will more or less stare at the position of the crown prince, and say something that is not acceptable, with the ability of the second elder brother Yinren, it is really not enough to convince the public.
"What did the emperor say when he woke up?" After a long time, Ling Ruo asked this sentence.
"What else can Huang Ama say, after all, he is his own son, and he is the only blood and blood left in the world by Empress Xiaochengren, he was angry at the time, and when he looks back, he can't bear it!" When saying this, there was a subtle disappointment in Yinzhen's words, his loyalty to the prince had been exhausted in the continuous disappointment over the years, coupled with Mei'er's questioning for no reason, which made him determined to fight for the crown prince. In terms of background, he Yinzhen is not inferior to anyone, and in terms of ability, among the princes, except for Yinzhen, he is not inferior to anyone, and there is no reason to be subordinate to others.
Although Kangxi asked the ministers to recommend the crown prince after the abolition of the crown prince, his secret fold was to re-establish Yinren, but that was just because he speculated on Kangxi's mind and knew that this Ninety-Five Supreme still wanted Yinren in his heart; Moreover, in terms of the popularity of hundreds of officials, he is far inferior to Yinxi, who has been in business for many years, and it is impossible to get the support of officials big and small like Yinxi.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Kangxi reinstated Yinren, and he was also registered as a prince for his meritorious service and was given the Old Summer Palace.
The day before the recommendation, he went to see Yinren, although Yinren seemed to regret what he had done before, but he saw that Yinren's true intention hidden behind that regret was unwillingness and hatred; He believes that after the crown prince is reinstated, he will definitely not change his past as he said before, but will intensify it; If this continues, the prince will inevitably make mistakes again, Kangxi can tolerate him once, but he may not be able to tolerate him countless times. The opportunity he was waiting for would come sooner or later.
He wants to prove to Mei'er that he Yinzhen is the one who is blessed by heaven and earth, and the husband she should marry; As for Yinxi, it's nothing!
"Huang Ama has driven back to the Forbidden City overnight." He was sending Kangxi back to the garden after the Forbidden City, for some reason, when he was so uncalm, the first thing he thought of was Ling Ruo, although Ling Ruo had already slept when he came, but sleeping next to her still had a sense of peace.
