CHAPTER XVII

I looked up into the eyes of the fourth master. Me in his eyes. There was a bit of panic and panic written on his face: "Fourth brother. A master said to me, 'One thought becomes a demon. One thought becomes a Buddha. There is goodness in the heart. and became a Buddha of his own.'But. Not all the time. I am all good in heart. When the 'jade' Yao miscarried. I know in my heart that this is true. But that thing. In the end, how much is out of consideration for the overall situation. A little bit of it was because of my 'selfishness' and jealousy. I don't know...... I don't want to make it clear......"

The fourth master sighed. hugged me distressedly: "My stupid 'jade'...... Let me say what's good about you. If it weren't for your kindness. It's just that she lost a child who was destined to die. Why are you so guilty? Why should you feel guilty. So many things. Why is this one piece? Makes you so obsessed."

The fourth master stroked my hair: "Don't think nonsense. It's true. Let me take you by the hand and go home. Where to go. Let me be with you. Let me give you strength. For you to rely on.' Jade'er. Don't leave me. I can't live without you. Without you. When I'm tired, there's no one who can give me the strength to keep going. Without you. When I'm annoyed, no one can brush away the bitterness in my heart with a gentle hug.' Jade'er. How important you are to me. Did you know......"

"I see. I know...... Let's go home...... We went home ......."

The fourth master put his arm around me and nodded. That night. We slept quietly with each other in our arms......

It's just that I know it in my heart. His appeasement. It doesn't make me put this thing behind me from now on. The appearance of the 'jade' Yao stained with blood. Probably going to be my nightmare forever......

Early the next morning. We set out on our way back to Beijing. The closer it is to the capital. The more excited Hui'er became. She can finally go back to see her Ama Eniang and her brother and sister. She sings every day. Hum a song. Excited like a little bird.

Compared with. But I was so gloomy that I didn't look like it. The closer it is to the capital. The more melancholy I became. The more panicked. I feel more and more uneasy. I can't even stretch my brow in my sleep. It makes the fourth master feel more and more distressed. Only every day during the day in the carriage. It's good when he puts his arm around me. I was able to sleep peacefully for a while.

Someday. Half-asleep and half-awake. I heard the fourth master sigh: "I went back to Beijing like this. What can I do? Do you want to be emaciated and emaciated day by day?"

I listened to his worries. It was really uncomfortable. It's just that I don't know what else I can do......

Seeing that the capital is right in front of you. I'm wearing a cloak. Stand under the Ten Mile Pavilion. Snow. I can't see the road ahead. I can't see the gates of the city clearly. The fourth master walked over. Gently hold my hand. A faint temperature came: "Are you really ready to go back?"

I breathed a sigh of relief.' Straightened up. The eyes are firmly looking ahead. Nodding solemnly: "Hmm. Let's go back."

"Don't force it. If you don't want to. I'll send you back to Zunhua now."

I looked sideways into his eyes. Gently shaking his head: "No. I'll go back to the palace with you. Where are you. I'll go wherever I go. I'll be with you everywhere. Without you. I don't have any courage. So. Don't let me leave you. Don't let me lose you."

these days. I figured it out too. I can only stay by the side of the fourth master. No matter where he is. I'll be there for him. Nestle up with him. No more separation......

It's snowing so hard. I can't see the road ahead. I can't see the capital not far away. I can't see the road ahead of this life and the scene of the palace clearly......

"The snow is so big......"

The fourth master clenched my hand: "At the end of the forty-ninth year. When you're gone. The snow is also very heavy. It's bigger than today......"

I shook his hand back: "I'm not going to do that again. Really."

"Hmm."

He took my hand tightly: "Let's go......"

"Good ......"

Finally. and he stood at the gate of this house. Vermilion 'color' on the big 'door'. The bright 'door' Ding. I lifted the curtain of the carriage. watched the carriage go all the way to the Qianqing Palace. The car stopped. The fourth master asked me, "Are you ready?"

I took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

The fourth master got out of the car. He took me by the hand and walked down. Lan Yue hugged Hui'er. Our group walked into the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Shunzi has been waiting for a long time. See us. hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Wang. Princess. You're back. The emperor has been looking forward to it since yesterday."

I nodded. The fourth master whispered: "Get up."

Xiao Shunzi got up and led the way in front. Pushing open the palace 'door', Kangxi Ye was sitting on the warm couch and flipping through the folds. Look up and see us. He greeted happily: "It's back. Come on."

Kneel on the ground. Please ann.

Kangxi Ye smiled: "Hurry up. Hurry up. Caught up with snow on the way. Is it cold?"

I shook my head: "It's okay. Xie Huang Amma."

He heard me call him Emperor Amma. Eyes lit up. smiled and nodded and asked, "This is Hui'er."

I hugged Hui'er from Lan Yue's hand. Coaxed her: "Hui'er. Hurry up and call Huang Marfa."

Hui'er blinked with a pair of big eyes. Softly called him: "Huang Marfa." Just one sound. Then he nestled in my arms and didn't dare to look at Kangxi again.

I patted her on the back and soothed. said to Kangxi: "Hui'er is timid. I haven't seen the Emperor Ama. Please don't blame her."

Kangxi Ye nodded: "No blame, no blame. I'm tired on the road. Fourth. Why did you get them back so many geniuses? It's just around the corner."

The fourth master replied: "Back to the emperor Amma. With children. Don't dare to rush too much on the road. There was snow again along the way. It can only be a priority for safety. It's too late to come back. Please also ask the Emperor Ama to forgive his sins."

Kangxi Ye nodded and smiled: "That's it. It's good to come back." Then he said to me, "This year's Taihe Hall banquet. You come too. Yes. After a while, let Xiao Shunzi take a few new tributes to pick and choose for you. Make a few more new outfits. The beads and flowers that came up from the new tribute or something. I'll let you pick them first."

I shook my head and thanked: "Huang Ama. It doesn't have to be this way. There are other concubines and princesses in the palace. It's not my turn to pick first."

"Hey~" He waved his hand: "I said let you pick first. You just pick first. Pick the rest."

I had to nod my head in response. Thank you too.

Hui'er nestled around my neck: "Auntie. I want to go home to Ama and Eniang."

I patted her on the back. looked up at Kangxiye: "Huang Ama. Hui'er is tired. Can I send her back first?"

Kangxi Ye sighed: "Okay. Go ahead. Fourth. You send them back. By the way, go see the old thirteen."

"Yes. The sons obeyed."

Sent Hui'er back. We sat down in the study of the Thirteenth Master. The fourth master sighed: "Old thirteen ......"

The thirteenth brother smiled: "Fourth brother. I'm not 'good' either."

The fourth master shook his head: "In the past few years. I wronged you......"

Brother Thirteen laughed loudly: "It's nothing. Fourth brother. It's also 'good' in the house. It's not going to work harder than you are outside."

"You wait. I'm going to let you out."

The two brothers talked for a while. In the end the atmosphere is heavy. I rode in a carriage for a few days. Already sleepy. I fell asleep in a crooked chair.

Wake up again. I've returned to my house. In the bedroom of the Feather House.

I slept peacefully in my bed. Sit up with a brace. But I didn't see the fourth master. Lost in my heart. sighed.

Suddenly the door was pushed open. The fourth master walked in with a tray. See me wake up. Came over with a silver bowl: "Just right. I've got you some milk to drink."

I took the bowl. But he didn't hand it to his mouth for a long time. Just blink at him.

The fourth master asked me in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine...... Just woke up and didn't see you. Thought you'd be gone......"

"Silly girl. How could I leave while you're asleep?"

Bow your head and take a sip. muttered in a low voice, "You still have to leave when I wake up."

The fourth master looks at me coquettishly. Smiled and sat down and hugged me: "Then I'm not leaving, okay."

I rolled his eyes: "Let's go. I'm afraid that your family is already in a hurry. Don't come to my house to find you. I don't want to see her."

The fourth master smiled and hugged my waist: "My 'jade' is jealous."

"I didn't~" I stiffened my mouth. But my heart is warm.

Hand him the empty silver bowl. The fourth master put it aside. I put my arms around me and said, "I really should go back. these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you."

My heart was immediately heavy. Dissatisfied, he said, "Go, go, go. Can I still stop you?"

The fourth master gave me a gentle 'kiss' on the face: "Don't be unhappy. You do. I feel bad."

I turned around and put my arms around him. The tip of his nose was pressed against his neck: "You know that. I don't want you to go. But I also know. You have to go. You remember. Think about me every day. Otherwise. I'm going to marry somebody else."

The fourth master lowered his head and bit my ear: "You are not allowed to marry anyone. You can only marry me."

I closed my eyes and nodded. Try to absorb the warmth he has given me at this moment......

At night. Wait until everybody is asleep. I crept into the secret room. Quack they are waiting for me.

"Master."

I smiled and nodded and sat down. Asked softly, "Are you all right?"

"Hmm. Don't worry, master."

They're all good. I was relieved. I'm holding my forehead. The temples throbbed with pain. The quack grabbed my wrist. Then he wondered, "What's going on. Can't you just sleep and rest?"

I shook my head: "It's just that I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days......"

The quack doctor probed my pulse again: "Someone has given you 'medicine'."

"What." It's 'medicine' again......

"What a 'medicine'." Kazekage asked anxiously.

"It's still five stones. It's just a small portion."

Why is it five stones scattered again......

Don't......

I panicked. Could it be Kangxiye again?

Cloud Shadow guessed what I thought. Hurriedly said, "Master. Not the Emperor."

"Really."

Cloud Shadow nodded. I thought for a moment: "Probably. It's the eighth master...... A few days ago. The eighth master has been plotting something with others. We didn't find out. Estimate. That's it......"

Eight masters. Why did he do it. I shook my head: "Why did he ......?"

"The power of the eighth master has been greatly suppressed by the emperor. Although the fourth master is on the surface. Now ignore the government. But the people of the fourth master. Now they are all important ministers in the court. Whether it's Tian Wenjing. Or Nian Qianyao. All of this made the eighth master very anxious. The emperor has always doted on his master. The master and the fourth master are 'friendly' again. Probably know you're coming back. So I'm in a hurry."

I shook my head and sighed: "In the end, Zunhua is more peaceful."

"Don't worry, master. They'll be out of your business soon."

"What's wrong?"

"The emperor seems to be intent on letting the Fourteenth Master go west. The fourteenth master is now the candidate for the prince of the eighth master and the party. If he goes to Tibet. Then the eighth master, they are in a hurry to stabilize themselves, but they are afraid that it will be too late."

Fourteenth Master. Expedition to the West.

"It's settled?"

"It should be."

I bit my 'lip': "Send a few more people to follow the fourteenth master. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Don't let anyone hurt him. Got it."

"Got it. Don't worry, master."

Fifty-seven years of Kangxi. It passed quietly......

It snowed for several days. Fluttering sprinkles. I won't stop.' How many people's eyes have been lost......
