Volume 1: The Storm Chapter 21: The clouds and sand are full of hatred

"Mother, no! The imperial concubine sent someone to pay tribute, and the fourth elder brother fell down from the rockery in the imperial garden. ”

When Concubine De heard this, she was stunned, she didn't care whether her clothes were neat, she lost the embroidery bandage in her hand and ran out, and the palace people behind her had never seen Concubine De so flustered, so she hurriedly followed.

There are rules in the palace that no heirs below the concubine position are allowed to raise the imperial heir, and Concubine De was just a nobleman at that time.

From the moment she gave birth to Yinzhen, she glanced at him from a distance, and before she could say half a sentence, she was carried to Chengqian Palace by her grandmother. Everyone else said that the fourth elder brother was blessed and could inherit the care of the concubine. Weijun is used to hearing these words, obviously she is her son, why should she be disciplined by others, and she has to call others to Erni?

When she watched Yinzhen and Tong Guifei's mother and son becoming more and more harmonious, but she could only find traces of Yinzhen that once belonged to her with stretch marks on her lower abdomen, she wanted to rush to Qingyu and snatch Yinzhen away. She begged Xuan Ye countless times, but in exchange for a concubine position that was meaningless to her.

In the dead of night, Wei Jun often walks outside the Chengqian Palace, thinking about it through a red wall, she hopes that this moonlit night can be completed day by day, but the jade plate is only for fifteen. So much so that Weijun became ill, and the seventh princess died in less than a month.

Concubine De saw Qingyu and asked with tears in her eyes, "Is the fourth elder brother seriously injured?" ”

Qing Yu hurriedly got up and comforted: "The imperial doctor came to take a look, but it was just a skin injury, and it was completely healed after two days of recuperation." ”

Concubine De walked to the bed, saw Yinzhen lying on the bed, looked at him carefully, it seemed to be a little more mellow than the last time she saw him in Chengqian Palace, but the injury on her forehead made Concubine De's heart tremble, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to caress it, and turned back to ask Xiang Qingyu: "Dare to ask the imperial concubine Niangniang, Yin... How did the fourth elder brother fall? ”

Qing Yu said: "The servant Dao was accidentally dropped by the fourth elder brother, and the palace has already severely punished him." ”

The word 'careless' made Concubine De's heart tremble, and she said a little angrily: "Serving Brother is the top priority, how can you be so careless?" ”

Before Qing Yu could speak, the yellow door outside the hall shouted, and then went with Concubine De to salute.

Xuan Ye asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

Qing Yu sighed secretly, bowed down and bowed: "All this is the fault of the concubine, yesterday Yinzhen begged the concubine to go to the imperial garden to play, the concubine agreed to him, and sent a few attendant eunuchs to accompany him, who knew that Yinzhen accidentally fell from the rockery of the imperial garden." Although the imperial doctor came and said that it was a skin injury, he blamed the concubine for not allowing him to go. ”

Xuan Ye picked up Qingyu and said, "It's not your fault, it's just that how could this good person accidentally fall down, you asked carefully?" As soon as the words changed, he raised his voice and said to Liang Jiugong, "Go and find me the fourth elder brother who is with you, and I will interrogate them one by one." ”

Xuan Ye looked at the attendants in the hall and said angrily: "You say, how did the fourth elder brother fall down?"

"The slave accompanied the fourth elder brother to play on the rockery, and the fourth elder brother wanted to pick the flowers on the mountain, but his feet slipped, and the slave fell out before he could catch it."

Concubine De on the side grabbed Bai and said: "You are talking nonsense, where did the flowers come from in the rockery of the Imperial Garden!" ”

The waiter was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "The slave doesn't know, the fourth elder brother did fall down because he went to pick something......

Concubine De stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this slave is clearly a lie, how could the fourth elder brother fall for no reason, could it be that he hallucinated?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "If you don't tell the truth, then go to the Shen Criminal Division to receive the punishment yourself!" ”

The chamberlain stumbled for a long time before he said, "Your Majesty is angry, it's... It was the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince passed by the rockery and had an argument with the fourth elder brother, and pushed the fourth elder brother in a fit of anger......"

Concubine De was shocked and said, "How... How could it be the crown prince, how could the prince do such a thing?! ”

Xuan Ye patted the case and said: "What nonsense! ”

Concubine De asked again, "Then why didn't you say it?" ”

The chamberlain said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threatens the servants and others, and if they dare to say it, they will be put to death!" ”

Xuan Ye scolded angrily: "Drag it out, and the rod will be punished a hundred!" ”

The inner servant was already as pale as earth, and he couldn't stop talking: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The slave's words are true, and if there is even the slightest falsehood, he will be punished by God! ”

It is taboo in the palace, and it will not be easy to take the oath as a note. Xuan Ye was silent for a while, and Concubine De was about to step forward, but was stopped by Qing Yu.

"...... Nie"

There was a soft call from behind Qing Yu, it was Yinzhen who woke up, Xuan Ye hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Child, are you awake?" ”

Yin Zhen was frightened by his sudden greeting, pulled the quilt and stepped back, Xuan Ye continued: "Tell Khan Ama, who pushed you?"

Yin Zhen glanced at Qing Yu and replied uneasily: "Yes... Be... Yes, Yinzhen accidentally fell by herself. ”

Xuan Yehu said suspiciously: "Did you really fall by yourself?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded hesitantly: "Well......"

Xuan Ye said again: "Then I ask you, were there other people at that time, such as the prince?" ”

Yin Zhen was at a loss, bowed his head and muttered: "I... I don't know ......."

Xuan Ye's heart fluttered, and he turned around and told Qing Yu: "I will deal with this matter, and I will take care of him." With that, he walked out.

Concubine De saw Xuan Ye going away, and stepped forward to ask Xiang Yinzhen: "Fourth elder brother, are you hurt?" ”

Yin Zhen looked at Concubine De very unfamiliarly and shook her head. And Concubine De couldn't say half a sentence of all the words and sentences in her heart at this moment. could only secretly wipe away her tears, and Qing Yu handed her the shark silk when she saw this.

"Thank you, mother." Concubine De looked at Qing Yu's bulging abdomen, and a ripple rippled in her heart.

Outside Yuqing Palace, several birds jumped on the hosta tree, waking up the morning light in the summer, and the hosta in the palace felt the love of the morning light, stretching the petals and leaves to their heart's content, making Yuqing Palace appear more quiet. Xuan Ye looked at the hosta full of trees, as if returning to the scene of the first planting of hostas eight years ago. But the Si people never existed again.

Xuan Ye's eyebrows frowned, Liang Jiugong came to the prince's itinerary today, Yinren did go to the Imperial Garden, and Xuan Ye's face was slightly ugly.

Xuan Ye also hated Yinren, if it weren't for his birth, he wouldn't have let Fangyi die in childbirth, but he protected him very much, because he was Fangyi's only bone and blood. So he indulged him, loved him, taught him himself, and made him prince. No matter how he is pampered, Xuan Ye is held accountable to others, Zhang Ying is the same, and the eldest brother is the same. And now, Xuan Ye doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to blindly indulge him.

"Khan Ama!" Yinren rushed over, but Xuan Ye didn't ask him how he was studying as usual, but walked in with a gloomy face.

Yinren asked, "What's wrong with Khan Ama?" ”

Xuan Ye looked at him and asked with a complicated expression: "Yesterday in the Imperial Garden, did you push Yinzhen?" ”

When Yinren heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's all that damn group of minions talking nonsense!" ”

Xuan Ye suppressed his anger and asked, "Is it true or not?" ”

Yinren flatly denied: "I didn't, he fell by himself!" ”

Xuan Ye was angry and said sharply: "He is your own brother!" He's only four years old! If you're the crown prince, can you mess around? ”

Yinren didn't care about it, Xuan Ye saw him like this, there was still half a prince's bearing, and there was a palm on his head, Yinren sat on the ground, his face was swollen in a moment, and he cried loudly.

Xuan Ye was remorseful under this palm, he was about to defend something, only to hear Yinren say with a crying voice: "He is only four years old, but he, he pointed to his clothes and showed off to me, saying that he did it for him, and asked me why he didn't make clothes, why, I don't have ...... Nie."

Xuan Ye's heart trembled, and he was at a loss, and he was about to go over to help Yinren up, but he saw Yinren shake off Xuan Ye's hand and run out of the door quickly.

Xuan Ye shook his head helplessly, it turned out that all this was his fault. So he waved his hand and summoned Liang Jiugong and said: "The fourth elder brother fell down, it was caused by the in-house attendants' ignorance, and the servants in the field were all punished with fifty canes, and the prince did not take care of it on the side. ”
