Before I knew it, it was July, the weather was sweltering and frightening, even the wind blowing in was wet and warm, and the sunlight fell on the soft couch by the window in the study through the thin green smoke veil, and also fell on Shu Wan's slender calves.

She dismantled the hairpin ring jewelry, spread the green silk on her like a waterfall, took off her shoes and socks, and only wore a sundress of her own design, revealing a large piece of jade-like skin.

Lazily leaning on the pillow, as if sleeping rather than sleeping, she also held a travelogue in her hand, with many place names circled on it, which were all places she wanted to go.

"Niangniang, the sixth elder brother is here."

"Huh?" Shu Wan woke up suddenly, took the coat next to her and draped it over her shoulders, and said eagerly, "Let Battle come in." ”

Battle ran in after a few steps, followed by Sanxin, who had not seen him for a few days, and Sanxin had some flesh on his face, but he looked much better than before.

"Erchen greets E-niang," said Battle, who said crisply, and now that he had shaved his hair, only a small braid was left at the back, and he flicked it again and again.

"Come, sit down next to Eniang." Shu Wan curled up her legs and asked Battle to sit on him as well.

As soon as Battle got close to Shu Wan, he began to be coquettish, "Eniang, Erchen misses you so much." ”

"Didn't you just see it this morning? Why do you miss Eniang again? Shu Wan deliberately straightened her face, she and Battle lived not far away, that is, a matter of a few steps, and even breakfast was used together every day, how could she be so sticky.

"If you don't see each other for a day, and Battle hasn't seen her for half a day, that's equivalent to..."

Yes, such an esoteric arithmetic problem is still too difficult for Battle, who is only three years old now, even if he breaks his fingers, he can't figure it out, and finally simply cheats, "Erchen doesn't care, Erchen just misses Eniang." ”

"Okay, E-Niang misses Battle too."

Shu Wan's eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled and hugged Battle into her arms, her small body was soft and had a milky fragrance, which made her heart melt all at once.

Turning his head to look at Sanxin who was standing on the side, "Sixth Elder Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Sanxin didn't seem to like to laugh, and whispered, "When the sixth elder brother went out to play today, he met Concubine De Niangniang and the seventh elder brother, maybe because of this." ”

Wu Ya and Seventh Elder Brother, so what's the matter? Could it be that he said something unpleasant that made Battle sad?

There was a kind of sadness on Battle's little face that was not suitable for his age, and he said in a muffled voice, "Eniang, Erchen thinks that the seventh brother is so pitiful." ”

"Huh? How pitiful? Tell me about it. ”

"Today, I saw the seventh brother crying sadly, and my son's heart was so uncomfortable."

"Seventh Elder Brother is crying, what's going on?"

The seventh elder brother was weak when he spoke, and he barely recovered after raising it for a long time, and Wu Yashi has always regarded the seventh elder brother as a treasure, and he is reluctant to let the seventh elder brother go out casually on weekdays, even if he goes out, he is hugged before and after, and a large group of minions follow, how can he be willing to let him cry?

Seeing that Battle didn't answer, Shu Wan looked at Sanxin again.

Sanxin was also prepared for a long time, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that because the seventh elder brother was weak, Wu Yashi had been detaining him and not letting him go out casually, but the child was originally greedy for fun, so the seventh elder brother secretly raised a three-color kitten without Wu Ya's knowledge, and set aside part of his own food for the kitten to eat every day.

Originally, everything was fine, but the bad thing was that when Wu Yashi came out with the seventh elder brother today, the cat also took the opportunity to follow out, Wu Yashi saw it, and immediately became furious, ignoring the pleading of the seventh elder brother, and directly let people throw the cat to the ground in front of the seventh elder brother and fell to death, and the little eunuchs who had been helping the seventh elder brother hide from the world were also ordered by Wu Yashi to break the tendons and hamstrings and throw them to the mass grave to die.

At that time, the seventh elder brother cried miserably, and he cried until the end, and he stayed directly, as if he was stunned, so frightened that Wu Yashi hurriedly asked the seventh elder brother to take him away, and ordered that there must be no such thing in Zhongcui Palace in the future.

And all this happened to be seen by Battle, who happened to be passing by, and Battle didn't dare to step forward, and hurriedly ran back to the Youyou Pavilion with Sanxin.

Shu Wan also felt pitiful when she heard it, Wu Ya's beloved son was sincere, but the method was too extreme, and he fell his beloved kitten to death in front of such a small child, what a shadow would this leave on the seventh elder brother.

And today's events have been seen by Battle, and I don't know if Battle will have nightmares.

lowered her head and looked at Battle who was lying in her arms, her little eyes were red from crying, and her little nose was wrinkled, "Eniang, Concubine De Niangniang is good or bad, Erchen doesn't like Concubine De Niangniang." ”

"Battle, you can't say this kind of thing in front of others in the future, do you know?"

Shu Wan rarely had such a serious time, so frightened that Battle hiccuped, but the tears in her eyes flowed outward, and she sobbed and said, "Concubine De Niangniang... She, she fell and killed the kitten, and made the seventh brother sad, she is a bad person. ”

"E-Niang understands, but these words Battle can only tell E-Niang, and can't tell other people to know?"

Under Shu Wan's repeated emphasis, Battle finally nodded, but he was still aggrieved, Shu Wan hugged him, touched his bare head, and said to him: "Battle, do you know why Concubine De Niangniang didn't let Seventh Elder Brother touch the kitten?" ”

Battle shook his head.

Shu Wan continued: "Seventh Elder Brother is not in good health, and he also suffers from asthma, if the kitten loses its hair, it will be sucked into the lungs by Seventh Elder Brother if he is not careful, and it will be dangerous." ”

"That's... If that were the case, would the seventh brother die? ”

Shu Wan nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe, that's why Concubine De Niangniang is so angry today, and she severely punished the minions who served by the side of the Seventh Elder Brother, Concubine De Niangniang's heart for Seventh Elder Brother is the same as Eniang's heart for you, Battle, do you understand, if someone wants to harm you, they will first tempt you with what you like, and in the end, whether you get it or not, it will hurt you to shed tears of sadness, and even pay a heavier price." ”

Murder and punishment are nothing more than that.

The speckled sunlight shone on Battle's face, and the tears reflected colorful light, as if at this moment, Battle was suddenly no longer an innocent child, although Shu Wan had been trying to make Battle live carefree, but in fact, the battle in the harem had already involved him.

The little hand wiped his tears, and the voice that had just cried was still a little hoarse, "Eniang, Battle knows, Battle will be careful in the future." ”

Shu Wan hugged Battle and muttered, "Don't worry, Battle will always be by your side to protect you, and Eniang will definitely not let you and Furgo be harmed." ”

Battle waved his small fist, "Battle will protect his younger brother when he grows up, and he will also protect his mother." ”

"Okay."

-------------------------------------

After Wu Yashi returned to Zhongcui Palace, she was naturally angry, someone dared to play tricks under her nose, let the seventh elder brother look, what kind of vicious heart is that, now the seventh elder brother is her life, and it is also her biggest reliance in the palace, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that she can't swallow this breath, Wu Yashi hurriedly changed into clothes, hugged the seventh elder brother who cried bitterly and went to Chengqian Palace.

In the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong was playing chess with Kangxi, and when she heard Wu Ya's request to meet, Concubine Tong frowned imperceptibly, and put the sunspot in her hand back into the chess box, "Hurry up and let Concubine De come in, on this hot day, I even let the seventh elder brother come out, be careful that the seventh elder brother is suffering from heat stroke." ”

As soon as Wu Yashi came in and saw Kangxi and Concubine Tong, he began to shout grievances, holding the seventh elder brother in one hand and covering his heart with the other, tears poured out like flowing water, "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubine this time, the concubine only has one child, Yinqi, and the thoughts of the people behind the scenes are really vicious." ”

Concubine Tong also wiped her tears on the side when she heard this, "Your Majesty, what Concubine De said is reasonable, the seventh elder brother is not in good health, so someone came up with this method to take the opportunity to harm the seventh elder brother, and his mind is vicious and terrifying, such a femme fatale must not stay in the harem." ”

Kangxi nodded, glanced at Yinqi, who was pale and could barely stand, and reached out to hug him, "Concubine Tong, I will leave this matter to you, and you must find out the person behind the scenes." ”

Yinqi's mouth moved, but unfortunately the voice was too quiet, and no one could hear what he was saying clearly.
