Chapter 40: Coming to the Door

Gu Qinghuan stretched his neck and looked at the golden cake carefully.

It's worth a lot of money at first glance.

No wonder Father-in-law Ying took such a big risk at that time and threw her out of the palace wrapped in a straw mat.

"Ahem."

Yin Zhen coughed lightly, which immediately interrupted Gu Qinghuan's thoughts.

Gu Qinghuan immediately came back to his senses and continued to interrogate Ying Gong: "What is this?" Is there anything special about it? Can you use it to point to Suiyuan? ”

"Please take a closer look."

Father-in-law Ying squatted down his fat body, picked up the golden cake with great difficulty, and brought it to Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan glanced at it with disgust, but didn't take it. However, she could see the pattern on the gold cake clearly.

That's Zhai Bird!

She remembered it all at once.

During the Chinese New Year this year, there were several such gold cakes among the things rewarded by Kangxi.

It's just that the gold cake that Queen Xiaoyi got was a picture of Luanniao on it. And on the top of the gold cake in front of him, it is Zhai Bird.

The shape of the luan bird is similar to that of the phoenix, and the ancient emperor has always been known as the true dragon emperor, while the queen is a phoenix.

At that time, Empress Xiaoyi was only an imperial concubine, so naturally she couldn't use the phoenix pattern. But... She is the same as the queen, and it is appropriate to use a luan bird that is very similar to the phoenix.

As for Zhai Bird...

Gu Qinghuan remembered that the gold cake that Concubine De got at that time was this pattern.

That said...

It's really inseparable from Concubine De.

"This thing was given to me by Suiyuan."

Ying Gong said: "At that time, I didn't know that she was Aunt Shuyi's niece. Now that I think about it, maybe it was Concubine De who gave the things to Aunt Shuyi, and then it came to Suiyuan's hands. ”

On Suiyuan, there are not many things that can make Father-in-law Ying, the little steward of the Internal Affairs Office, tempted.

This golden cake is also one of them.

"Fourth Elder Brother."

Gu Qinghuan asked this, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he looked at Yinzhen and said, "It's true that this thing is from Concubine De's palace." It's just..."

"This thing seems to be precious, but in fact, it is nothing more than Concubine De's mother. If this is evidence, if Concubine De says that she has rewarded Aunt Shuyi, and Aunt Shuyi says that she has lost something..."

Even if they can't be condemned.

Instead... will be questioned by Concubine De, why did she bring this person who committed the crime back to the palace again, and even wanted to splash her with dirty water.

"Hmm."

Yin Zhen bowed his head. Naturally, he understood this truth.

Father-in-law Ying's eyes widened, and a trace of unwillingness suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stepped back and sat down on the ground.

At this very moment...

The purse hanging from Father-in-law Ying's waist happened to fall.

At the same time, something tied to the purse was also scattered alongside.

"And this!"

Father-in-law Ying glanced at the thing scattered on the ground, pointed to it and said, "With this, it can be proved that this matter is inseparable from Suiyuan and Aunt Shuyi!" ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Yin Zhen led Su Peisheng to the gate of Yonghe Palace.

Everyone in Yonghe Palace was busy, and they were very surprised to see Yinzhen who came over. I was stunned for a while before someone went in to report.

After a while, Aunt Shuyi came out.

"Why is the fourth elder brother here?" Aunt Shuyi was also a little surprised. At the same time, in my heart, I was also on guard for three points.

"Can't I come over to visit Concubine De if I have nothing to do?" Yinzhen's tone was very cold, and he asked, "I don't know where Concubine De is at this time?" ”

"Please come with me, Fourth Elder Brother."

Aunt Shuyi had no choice but to lead Yinzhen inside.

In the dormitory, Concubine De was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, feeding the little guy in front of her spoonful by spoonful.

The little one's face was a little sallow, and his cheeks were thin. Although a pair of eyes are a little bright, the whole person is sick no matter how you look at it.

On the bed is Concubine De's second son, the sixth elder brother Yinzuo.

Yinzuo has not been very good since he was born, and he has been carefully raised until now, and he will get sick every once in a while.

Concubine De was worried about this, and she always took care of Yinzuo in front of the bed.

"Concubine De, the fourth elder brother is here."

Aunt Shuyi crossed the screen and reported, her face bitter.

Concubine De just let her think of sending people away.

But what kind of person is the fourth elder brother, how can he be so easy to dismiss?

Sure enough, Concubine De frowned slightly and glanced out.

Yinzhen was waiting outside. Looking at that posture, you must come in.

"Let him in." Concubine De said lightly, and fed Yinzuo medicine with the spoon in her hand, and said, "Good Yinzuo, this is the last bite." ”

Yinzuo obediently drank the medicine, and before he could take a plum into his mouth, he hurriedly asked, "Is the fourth brother here?" ”

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on the face of the sick little guy.

"Yes."

At the same time as Concubine De bowed her head, Yinzhen had already come in.

"Fourth brother?" Yinzuo glanced at Yinzhen and asked, "Is the fourth brother coming to see me?" It's been a long time since I've seen my fourth brother. It's been another half a month since this disease..."

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

As soon as Yinzuo's words were finished, he coughed violently.

"Stop talking."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzuo, his eyes showed a rare amount of care, and said: "You have to listen to what the imperial doctor said, so that the disease can get better quickly, you know?" ”

"I know the fourth brother."

Yinzuo nodded vigorously, showed another smile, and said, "When I get better, I will follow the fourth brother to study in Guozijian." ”

"Alright."

Concubine De interrupted the conversation between the two brothers at this time.

"You're still sick, take care of yourself first. After drinking the medicine and resting for a while, I have other things to say with your fourth brother. ”

"Hmm." Yinzuo responded obediently and pulled Concubine Rad's sleeve.

As if hoping that Concubine De would be able to talk to Yinzhen better.

Yinzhen and Concubine De quickly arrived in the side hall.

The charcoal fire in the side hall was burning very strongly, and Yinzhen was a little uncomfortable, so he pulled his neckline, hoping to breathe a little.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Concubine De got straight to the point, and she didn't bother to say even a trace of superfluous words.

"Concubine De, do you still recognize this?"

Yin Zhen said, glancing at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng immediately stepped forward and presented the golden cake to Concubine De.

Concubine De didn't know what to do, took a look, her pupils shrank, she looked at Yinzhen, and asked, "How do you have this thing?" ”

Her instincts told her that something was wrong.

"Don't you remember that you once gave Aunt Shuyi a gold cake?"

As Yin Zhen spoke, she looked at Aunt Shuyi beside Concubine De, and said, "Later, Aunt Shuyi seems to have given it to Suiyuan?" ”

"But I wonder if you two know how I got this golden cake?"

Aunt Shuyi's face was a little flustered, and she looked at Yinzhen.

"It's... I found it from my father-in-law! ”
