Su Malagu returned to the Heart Nourishing Palace, and Kangxi had just gotten up from a nap. Seeing her come in, he rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Why are you making trouble today?" Did you get Mr. Wu too? Su Malagu blushed and smiled: "This is the difficulty of being a slave." He is in Suofu, which is worth half of the master. He wants to go, how can I dissuade him? Kangxi smiled: "It's hard for you to cope with this scene, a good show is almost smashed!" Su Malagu said: "Long live the blessing of the Lord is greater than the sky, he is a nerd, where can I see it!" As he spoke, he personally came out to get washing water for Kangxi.

Su Malagu came in with water, and when she saw Kangxi writing a banner, she said, "Please clean your face." When Fang woke up, he wrote with a paste, and if he didn't believe it, he wrote! Kangxi put down the pen with a smile, and asked while washing his face: "Today, I am in Baiyun Temple, what do you think of this person in Ban Bushan?" ”

"It's a bit of a god-savvy." Su Malagu said.

"I'm not asking this," Kangxi said while closing his eyes and letting Aunt Su Mala wipe his face, "I asked how this person is?" ”

Aunt Su Mala skillfully wiped his face, instructed the palace maid to remove the washing utensils, and said with a smile: "Where do the servants know this, the eyes of the master, that is called Shengming!" In recent days, she found that Kangxi was quite self-conscious, so she thought that people had grown up and could no longer be treated as if they were children. If he still talks nonsense as he did in the past, and asks him to come out with the master's money, it is very boring! So the bigger the event, the more he secretly inspired him to make his own ideas.

"I don't think this person is a party." Seeing Su Malagu's surprised look, Kangxi said quite proudly, "But he is definitely not a loyal person." His face is not clear, and I will not say a word, but I will see later. ”

Su Malagu hurriedly said: "What the master said is very true, if he is a loyal minister, he should clearly explain to the master today." The master promoted him several times, but he only pretended to be confused! ”

"Come and see!" Kangxi pointed to the banner he had just written and said, "These are a few words that I just wrote—okay?" ”

Su Malagu came over and saw that it was six big characters written in Li:

The Jingfan River is transported

She secretly weighed in her heart: The governors of Shandong and Anhui repeatedly reported that because of the breach of the Yellow River, the canal was blocked by sediment, and it was difficult for the boat to travel. The city of Beijing alone relies on the transportation of 4 million quintals of grain every year. These two things are really worrying. As for the word "Jing Fan", it seems to be too glaring. Judging by various indications, the ambitions of the three feudal clans have been exposed from time to time. However, if the word "Jing" is clearly written on the pillar, many ministers come to the palace to worship and see them, so what is the benefit of spreading it? Then he smiled and said: "Long live the master's words are becoming more and more energetic!" ”

"Where do you want you to say this!" Kangxi smiled, "What do you mean?" ”

"Good!" Su Malagu raised her eyebrows and praised: "The holy consideration is far-reaching, every clause is very important, these few things are done, the people must celebrate with their hands, and praise Yao Tianshun and the earth!" ”

Kangxi said proudly: "This is because I have seen a lot of twists and turns in recent years, and I have occasional gains, so I am afraid that I will be disturbed by the trivial things in front of me, so I put it on the pillar." ”

Seeing that it was an opportunity, Aunt Su Mala hurriedly smiled and said, "Zhang is here, I'm afraid that it will be written down in Ming'er's living book!" ”

"Huh?" A sentence reminded Kangxi, picked up the pen and wrote another one, and said, "It's better like this." When Su Malagu looked at it, he had changed the "Jing Domain" to "Three Domains". Kangxi glanced thoughtfully at Aunt Su Mala and said, "Wanniang, if you have any words of advice in the future, just tell me as bluntly as before, I don't blame you." ”

It was a rainy late autumn. As soon as it was dark, it was overcast again. Wei Dongting returned to the apartment after his duty, and it was already pitch black. Soon, the autumn rain began to fall.

In the afternoon, escorting Kangxi from Suofu into Shenwu Gate, Mingzhu asked Shi Longbiao and Mu Zixu to go to Jiaxing Building to eat and drink together, and it would be at least half of the night before they could come back. Wei Dongting didn't have anyone to speak, so he was bored, so he went to the study to draw a book and read it.

Around Mohai, seeing that Shi Longbiao and the others had not returned, Wei Dongting stretched his waist, closed the book and wanted to go to sleep. At this moment, the old man came over and said, "Uncle, there is a young man visiting outside." ”

Who would come at such a late hour? Wei Dongting asked hesitantly, "Are you an acquaintance?" The old man replied: "No, I have never been here." Wei Dongting thought about it and smiled: "Maybe it's Brother Mingzhu's literary friend, there are a lot of inconveniences when he comes, so it's better to resign." You go and say, Mingzhu is not here, let's talk about it another day. ”

"What am I looking for the pearl for?" As soon as he finished speaking, a young man suddenly broke into the door, and said with a smile, "Uninvited guests, visiting at night, there must be something important, why don't you want to see it?" The younger brother wants to see the eldest brother! When Wei Dongting saw it, the people who came were no more than in their early twenties, holding a gold folding fan in their hands, and wearing a blue satin melon skin hat on their heads that pressed straight to their eyebrows. The bronze robe was covered with a gray poplin horse coat, a Chinese jade fan pendant hung next to the sweat towel around his waist, and a pair of sandal-feuille boots with a thousand layers of bottoms were pedaling. The demeanor is chic and free, although he came from the rain, there is not even a little muddy water - Wei Dongting was very surprised, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Offended, offended!" I thought it was Brother Mingzhu, so familiar, and the foot is-"

But the man did not answer. When the old man withdrew, Fang smiled and said: "Lang is like a peach and plum flower, a concubine is like a pine and cypress tree, the peach and plum flowers are easy to fall, and the pine and cypress are always the same." ——Xifengkou said goodbye in a hurry, and met in a hurry along the West River, I don't want you to forget it! As he spoke, he took off his hat and put down his braids, but he saw that his hair was green and his eyes were bright. - It's Shi Jianmei who is here!

"Mei Mei?" Wei Dongting was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe his eyes, and he suspected that they were in a dream, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he realized that it was not a dream, he jumped up and held Jianmei's hands tightly with joy.

When Jianmei saw him like this, she felt embarrassed, and when she wanted to grab it, she would make a move. There is really no way to hide, there is no way to dodge, you can't be angry, you can't avoid being ashamed, so you have to blush, stand silently with your head down, and ask softly for a while: "In the past few years...... How are you? ”

Wei Dongting gradually calmed down, realized that he was a little out of shape, slowly let go of his hand, hurriedly gave up his seat, poured tea, and said with a smile: "I've been good in the past few years, what about you?" Shi Jianmei blew the floating tea leaves and smiled: "Not necessarily, right? You are dead for the rest of your life, how can you deceive me? ”

"Naturally, I can't hide my business from you," Wei Dongting said with a smile, "I heard that Mei Mei is very proud in the Aozhongtang Mansion!" ”

This sentence contains the meaning of suspicion and appreciation. If it is said that the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, there should be nothing that cannot be believed. But Wei Dongting's current status, every move is related to the major affairs of the Zongmiao Society, and he can't help but show a little more attention. After speaking, when I peeked at Jianmei, I saw that her face changed color slightly, and she sat in front of the candle in a daze, but tears flowed down quietly. Wei Dongting gritted his teeth and didn't pay attention to it. That Jianmei stood up suddenly, covered her face and was about to take the door, but was grabbed by Wei Dongting, and said with a smile: "It's still the heart of a child, a joke." Jianmei raised her head, her face was already full of tears, and she choked up and said, "I...... I stayed in that nest for six years, for revenge...... But you ...... to me. I'm here for important things. ”

"Isn't your business just to avenge Qianming?" Wei Dongting said eagerly, "What's the point of talking about this now?" ”

Jianmei suddenly stopped crying! sneered: "Could it be that I took the risk of being here to listen to your words?" - Treasure it, I'm going! After saying that, Wei Dongting hurriedly blocked the way, shook his hand and smiled: "Don't, don't you think I'm wrong?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm still willful, so it's okay to ask! ”

Jianmei sat down again, looked at Wei Dongting and asked, "Ming'er, do you still want to go to Suo'etu Mansion?" ”

"We are not subordinate to each other in civil and military affairs," Wei Dongting was shocked and replied quietly, "What am I doing with him?" ”

"Don't be scared," Shi Jianmei was anxious and helpless, so she had to say bluntly, "Don't go, if the emperor calls you, you will be cured!" ”

"I'm not sick!" Wei Dongting replied coldly, "I'm going?" ”

"Don't ask, listen to me, don't go!"

"I'm going to ask. How do you know I'm going to Sophu, and why can't I go? My husband always has to come and go to understand, and I can't do things that I don't even understand. ”

There was another embarrassing silence, and Jianmei sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to come back." ”

"If you don't want to tell the truth, go ahead!" Wei Dongting saw her spitting, and his heart was also on fire, "I am still the Wei Huzi of ten years ago, and you are no longer the Mei sister of ten years ago!" Let's go, I'm going to Ming'er Suofu, but I want to see how I can't come back! Shi Jianmei got up and left, only a few steps suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Ao Bai will search the mansion tomorrow, and even you will take the emperor...... It's up to you to go or not! "Let's go.

Wei Dongting was like five thunderbolts, this time he was really anxious, an arrow stepped forward to block the way, grabbed her shoulder and said: "Good Mei Mei, tell you the truth, I can't ignore the emperor!" Jianmei turned around and saw Wei Dongting so stubborn, so she sighed: "You don't know my heart, as long as you are safe, I will rest assured." Wei Dongting shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't be confused, sister!" If something happens to the emperor, let's say that I, Wei Dongting, will not escape death, and even if I survive, what face will I have to live in the world? ”

"Good brother, stay away from the land of right and wrong, I beg you!" Jianmei suddenly broke away, knelt down with a plop and said, "You can't fight them!" They have too much power and too many henchmen to count, and they are plotting day and night to murder your monarchs and ministers, but you can't fight them! ”

"I know." Wei Dongting picked her up with one hand, looked at her eyes like autumn water, and stubbornly shook his head and said, "You know me since I was a child, I can fight them!" Jianmei looked at the heroic man in front of her with some surprise, trembled and took out a paper bag from her arms and said, "Look at this." ”

Wei Dongting took it, walked to the lamp and turned it on to take a closer look, only to see that the clouds were snow-white as frost, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it the best ice flake?" Jianmei replied, "The medicine used to poison your monarchs and ministers." I almost gave up my life to get it. ”

Wei Dongting became more and more suspicious, and forced Jianmei to sit down, asking her to tell the truth of the matter.

It turned out that one night the Ao Mansion was haunted, and it was Jianmei's hands and feet, and she had eavesdropped on the secret conversation between Ao Bai and Bamburshan. At night, he borrowed a mask to pretend to be a ghost, frightened the color screen, tricked Ao Bai out of Heshoutang, and quietly stole a little poison. In the midst of the chaos, Madame did not carefully count the number of people, but did not suspect her.

After listening to Jianmei's narration, Wei Dongting couldn't help but praise: "Your heart is really ten thousand times smarter than mine!" ”

"When is it time to say this?" She looked at Wei Dongting with tears in her eyes, full of expectation and fear, "You have to leave quickly, otherwise, a monstrous disaster is coming." ”

"You don't have to worry about me, there is no fate in this life, we will wait for the next life! But he is so gracious to me, how can I ......?"

"Who?"

"Your Majesty today!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Jianmei suddenly became angry and said, "You know the emperor!" What good has he done to our people? After you left that year, my mother died, and my father pulled me to live by planting more than a dozen acres of land on the Huangzhuang, and I didn't want to be surrounded by yellow flags again! At this point, Jianmei wiped away a handful of tears, and then said, "There is no land, but the owner of the village still comes to collect the rent and silver, saying that before the yellow flag is not circled, the ground has been planted, and the seed money must be recovered." You and Wei Am are long gone. We have no relatives, who will take care of us? In the month of that year, my father went to beg for food on a snowy day, and he never came back......"

Jianmei said that at this point, she couldn't cry. Wei Dongting remembered the scene when the two families were neighbors and cordial, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Later, I'm the only one left, what should I do?" Jianmei continued, "I had to disguise myself as a man and go to Beijing to find you, and I almost froze to death in Huairou." Or Uncle Shi saved me, accepted me as a righteous daughter, and followed him to the rivers and lakes to learn art, where do you know the troubles here! ”

Wei Dongting listened, and said after a long silence: "Sister Mei, I understand your thoughts, you have suffered so much over the years, of course I am sad in my heart, and I feel sorry for your family." But I think that all of us are looking forward to having a good emperor and living a peaceful life. The former Ming Emperor was a Han Chinese, but he forced your family out of the gate. It's not the emperor who is forcing you now, it's the emperor's opponent who is enclosing the land, you know? You're a smart person, and you have to figure it out. In the past, when our two families were good, we had already entered the flag membership. You didn't dislike me, and I didn't think that I was the little leader of the banner army, so you bullied the good people. You know that. Do you think about whether my words make sense? ”

This time it was Jianmei's turn to be silent.

"Although the emperor is young, he is very clear and intelligent. I was reluctant to leave him. Don't say it's me, just like Uncle Shi is also dedicated to the emperor now! ”

"Alas, you men!" Jianmei was convinced, but she still said, "But don't believe him too much, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger!" ”

"There's some truth to that." Wei Dongting said with a smile, "But I'm not stupid, at that time, can't I learn from Fan Li to carry Xi Shi boating on the five lakes?" ”

When Jianmei heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and poked Wei Dongting's head with her finger with a red face and said, "You, you are the wrongs I cultivated in my previous life!" What do you want me to do, say it......"

On the official road outside Yongxing Temple, Ao Bai sat in the sedan chair and was still a little restless. Because this move is very important, if the secret is leaked, there is a danger of death.

Yesterday he and Bamburshan had been discussing this matter until the second half of the night. After many investigations, there is no doubt that Kangxi studied in Suofu. So they decided to do it right away - to search the Lord's Mansion. This is much safer than robbing and killing Kangxi in a palace like a maze array, and once he succeeds, he can also push the charge of killing the monarch to Suo Etu afterwards.

To be sure, early this morning, Bambulshan cast his eyes along the way on the road from Shenwumen to Sofu. Someone came to report: "As usual, the two-seater sedan chair from the palace has entered the back door of Suofu." Ao Bai came in a sedan chair with confidence.

The sedan chair came to Suofu and fell gently, and Ao Bai stepped out.

On the door, Zhao Fengchun saw that it was Aobai, and a Qian'er went down and said: "Lord Zhongtang, the little Zhao Fengchun respectfully invites Zhongtang Jin'an!" ”

"Returning to your master, say that the second-class prince and the minister of the guard are worshiping, and I am ordered to come to see your lordship."

As soon as he heard the "order", Zhao Fengchun hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, and then got up and flew into the back hall to report.
