Yinzhen in "***" presides over the affairs of the inner court, and the holy family is long, which has become a major event that has attracted the attention of the government and the opposition. Coupled with the secret story of Qiu Qiu's question "Putting Taijia in Tonggong", among a group of eunuchs and courtiers, the rumors that "the prince's life is tied to the sky and will rise again" spread throughout the Forbidden City like a plague. Trapped in the silent city, facing the wall for seven years of heart like ashes of Yinren, a cold heart revived again, burning, Xian'an Palace is located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City, the west is the Zhenshun Gate, the south is the nourishing hall, it is a very secluded place. After listening to the little eunuch Gao Lian's knee-making secret music at night, Yinren didn't sleep all night, staring at the tall corner tower of the Forbidden City in the northeast corner, and fell into deep thought.

Yinren is different from Yinxiang, he is the prince as soon as he lands. From his babbling words, Mama Jingqi and Sula Eunuch taught him to raise power and self-respect, and the first lesson in school was about "Mingde cultivation", and he moved forward and retreated in an orderly manner, and he wanted to develop the demeanor of the lord of all things in Kyushu. has been in the deep palace for decades, except for the occasional patrol, he has never left the Forbidden City, therefore, after seven years of imprisonment, Yinxiang is almost crazy, but Yinren is safe. But this string of information came in, and he couldn't calm down anymore.

The sting is here again! The song of the inchworm, in order to stretch out, the dragon has been sinking in the pool for seven years, "Could it be that God has given me the opportunity again?" Yinren's eyes flashed in the dark, staring at the corner tower, "As long as I step out of this arrow, there is Yinzhen on the left, Yinxiang on the right, Wang Luo, Zhu Tianbao, Chen Jiayou, Geng E, Ling Pu, all my former ministers, all wings and minions, who can compete with me?" But this "one stone's throw away" wants to easily step out, how easy is it to say! First, I don't know if the news is true or false; The second is that we don't know anything about the situation outside. He believes that this news will not be for no reason - the Nanfu exam questions are from the emperor, announced to the world, the people know it, the eunuchs can't fabricate it, and the eunuchs and officials of the Internal Affairs Office have replaced the people with white flags, which is also true. But since it's true, why didn't the emperor make the next move? Even the fourth child doesn't have a letter? Thinking, his eyes darkened. called Gao Lian and asked, "Think about it again, what is the name of the eunuch who said that I 'made a comeback'?" ”

"Back to the second master," Gao Lian frowned, "the slave is the same as the master, and he can't go out in this courtyard for a single step." The eunuch often sent things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when he arrived at the door, he turned back, and never reported his name and surname. Oh! By the way, when he spoke, He Zhu'er from the Eighth Master's Mansion was also there. The rest of the minions really don't know. ”

"He Zhu'er?" Yinren tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "He didn't say anything?" "Nope." Gao Lianyin Yinren had asked several times, and he was a little impatient in his heart, but he said: "He only slipped around the door a few times, and then looked into the courtyard and went." Yinren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, he wants to come in to see me, or want to say something!" ”

Gao Lian was really speechless, so he had to kowtow and remain silent. Yinren knew that this was already difficult for Gao Lian, and he couldn't ask anything, seeing that the sky was already bright, he sighed and said: "Lian'er get up, you and I are in trouble, and it will be seven years to plant in the fire pit!" If you want to live in a lifetime, how many seven years can you have? You're so good for a snack. I don't want to be a prince anymore, I just want to take you out and be a free man for a few days, so you have to be smart, as long as you can find out the truth, we will always have hope! Gao Lian didn't expect to hear an exam question, so that the master didn't sleep all night, knowing that the matter was very important, listening to what he said, he couldn't help but cry: "The slave followed the master at the age of ten, what else to say when he fell to this step!" Since the master is so anxious, let's take a closer look in the past few days to see if there is any chance, and when that person comes again, the slave will fight to punish him, and he will have to talk to him a few words! ”

But for two whole days, the gossiping eunuch did not come again, and He Zhu'er did not appear at the door. Yinren and Gao Lian were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks like rope monkeys. Yinren forgot his feelings several times, but he was unusual, sometimes pacing straight to the gate hole, and was very polite but very resolute by the eunuch guarding the door: "Second master, what's wrong today?" It doesn't seem to be good either? It's so windy in the doorway, it's not fun to catch a cold! What does the master want to use, just call Gao Lian'er and them to pass it on, and the slaves who are in charge do not dare to slack off. ”

"It's not fun to catch a cold!" This sentence flashed through Yinren's mind like lightning. There is no special order for this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, except for the imperial doctor. In the past, the few minor illnesses were all He Menglai, at this critical juncture, why did you forget him? Yinren looked up at the sky, estimated to be the time of the Shenpai, just after the July Festival, the heat of the day is still there, the west half of the sky is cloudy, very much like the appearance of changing the sky. After a little groaning, he walked back to the apse without hurrying, and called Gao Lian: "Don't say anything, quietly get two buckets of cold water, I want to take a bath." ”

"Master," Gao Lian said, "stay a little longer, and the hot water will be delivered." You've been weak since you were a child. How dare you use cold water-" Before the words were finished, Yinren waved his hand and said, "Go!" The cooler the better, draw it from the well now, hurry up! As he spoke, he took off his shirt. Gao hurriedly agreed.

Yinren stood barefoot on the steps behind the hall, wearing only a small coat, and lifted a bucket with both hands, and poured it down with a "bang", followed by another bucket. Gao Lian was stunned for a while, and then he understood what Yinren meant. Because he saw that Yinren was doused and his face turned pale, he sneezed again and again, Gao Lian rushed to help him pick it up, helped him to change clothes and wipe it on the kang, and choked up: "Why do you bother to practice your body!" Report dizziness and stomach pain, and the gods can't break it! Yinren's warm-up poured two buckets of well water in a row, and his delicate body really couldn't bear it, and he didn't even eat a mouthful of dinner, and his body was as hot as coals. Gao hurriedly went to the door, passed the letter of "the second master is sick", and asked someone to ask for a doctor. When the people at the door saw that he was fine during the day, they said that he was sick, and they could not help but be surprised. When he came in to see, Yinren was lying on the kang and sleeping, breathing heavily, his face was burned crimson, and he knew that he could not delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to the Internal Affairs Office. In less than a meal, Yinzhen passed the word, "Please be patient with the second brother, I have already sent someone to call the imperial doctor." ”

The sky was getting heavier and heavier, and the dark clouds were pressed low, swirling up and down in the wind. Suddenly, lightning swept through the sky like a golden snake, and the stone broke through the sky with a thunderclap, shaking the Forbidden City uneasily, and the raindrops had fallen like copper coins. Suddenly, the whole world was in chaos, and the wind and rain howled like a river and a sea. Yinren was burned groggy and lay on the kang, only feeling like an infant baby, swaying in the cradle. For a moment he felt as if he was sitting on his father's lap, teased and laughed by his father, and for a moment he seemed to see the pearl again, with a pair of eyes that you can never see through on that smiling white face. He felt hot and thirsty, lifted the quilt with trembling hands, and said, "Amma, Amma...... It's hard to walk in this desert sea! Water...... Water...... Bring the water! "With a backhand, he grabbed a person's wrist.

"Second Master ......"

Yinren opened his eyes, but under the shadow of the candle was He Meng, sitting under the carved porcelain pier, looking at his pulse. Yinren turned over, half-knelt on the kang, waved his hands and said, "Meng Meng, save my life!" ”

"It's okay," He Meng only said that he was burned, and said firmly on Erlang's legs, "How many years have I been ill with the second master, and when have I deceived the second master?" This disease only has a slightly lighter diet, take a dose of the published medicine, and keep it! Yinren lay down relaxedly, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "...... It's time for me to make a statement, it's too much. Meng, what elder brothers have you seen recently! He Meng couldn't help but be stunned and said, "I've only seen the fifth master, the seventh master." Uncle Yesterday was also sick, so I went in and took a look, but it had nothing to do with it. Second master, you are recuperating in peace, what do you care about what it does outside? ”

Yinren was taken aback, this Yinren was "sick" before himself! Then he asked, "What disease does the eldest brother suffer?" He Meng was a little uneasy by his expression and tone, and also felt that it was inappropriate to talk like this, so he smiled and said, "I'm not seriously ill, I'm a little worried about my spleen, and my diet is not good...... Second master, you are so lying down, I will write you a prescription ......" As he spoke, he got up and went to the side of the desk, and was about to write after the ink was wet. But he heard Yinren Gege smile and said: "I'm afraid it's also a major symptom of worrying about the country and the people, right?" ”

A bright flash illuminated this cold palace inside and out, followed by a terrifying thunderclap!

"Let's talk about it," Yinren sat up calmly, and he had become radiant and unill, "The emperor made the question of 'putting Taijia in Tonggong' to test the world's scholars, and ordered the fourth master to preside over the internal affairs office, what does it have to do with Yinren?" If he wants to pretend to be sick to see you, he must have asked for something? ”

"It's okay...... Nothing ......"

Yinren smiled again, and the gloomy voice made goosebumps rise on He Meng's body: "You see, although I am imprisoned here, I am not ignorant of external affairs, right?" I'm going to 'make a comeback'! Heaven has sent me a great responsibility: how can a villain be able to stop it? Don't forget, this place is in the hands of my fourth brother! The ** prescription you prescribed to me back then is still in my hand, do you want to shake it off? "Second Master-" He Mengwan didn't expect Yinren to be so well-informed, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at the prince who had been deposed for many years in a daze, and stood on the ground!

"Don't be afraid, how can I harm you?" Yinren slowly paced, "...... I want to know, what did Yinhe ask you, and what did he want you to do? I didn't call you to rebel, it's worth it and you're scared? He Meng pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Uncle asked something, he wanted to know who would be the general of this western expedition to Qinghai, I said long live did not make a will, but people rumored that they wanted to use the fourteenth master." Later, he asked why he didn't use the Thirteenth Master. He didn't know that the Thirteenth Master had been imprisoned. I said, 'How can I understand this kind of national event?' I didn't dare to say anything more, so I resigned. Yinren also knew for the first time that Yinxiang had been confined, but his face deliberately did not show surprise, and only sneered: "It turns out that for this, the eldest brother has not been eliminated, and he wants to go out to harm people again, but I am afraid that he will not be able to fulfill his wish!" ”

The more He Meng listened, the more frightened he became, he just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, because he saw Yinren silent, he hurriedly wrote a medical prescription, and presented it: "Second master, the day is about to change, the rain is heavy and the night is cold, and your body is not safe, according to this recipe to grab a dose of medicine, tonight is a good rest, tomorrow will be safe." ”

"Hmm." Yinren took the prescription noncommittally, glanced at it and put it aside. But he went to the small cabinet box in the back room to store the common medicine at home, took a piece of alum, put it in a cup and stirred it with a small spoon, dipped it in a pen and wrote a few lines, dried it, and came to the outhouse, and smiled at He Meng, who was waiting for the six gods: "Meng, you are a good person to the end, send this piece of paper out on my behalf, and reward the silver, which is naturally indispensable." He Meng stood up in horror, shook his hand and said, "This is absolutely unacceptable! Second master, you know the rules, it is a capital crime to carry a piece of paper out of the palace without permission in this place! "You're a good person who knows the rules!" Yinren suddenly laughed wildly, "What kind of crime is this for you to open **, bewitch the prince, and trap the master in injustice and unfilial piety?" In the former Ming Dynasty, you had to peel the skin and pull the grass, and in this dynasty, it was Ling Chi who was executed! ”

He Meng trembled all over, fell to his knees with a thud, and pleaded: "Second master, second master!" I spared the minions...... You have to search your body when you enter and exit this place, and you can't even get out of Xian'an Palace with this thing! ”

"You take it out and give it to my brother Lingpu." Yinren's face was expressionless, "I'm telling you, you're just acting according to the will of heaven!" It's just that something happened, this is a blank piece of paper, who can find out the clues? - As for the Xian'an Palace, I'll send you out! "Let's take a step forward, and "snap" is a slap in the face!

He Meng's left cheek rose purple, and Yinren whispered: "Mudworm! Not running yet? He Meng suddenly realized, got up and ran out, Yinren jumped behind and scolded: "The phoenix is not as good as a chicken!" You can't even use Codonopsis! No matter how unlucky the master is, he is also a dragon son and a phoenix grandson! Shouting and scolding, he chased him out with tears streaming down his face, caught He Meng in the rain again, split his face and slapped his face, and said, "What are you!" Sprinkle bubble dog pee to take care of your dignity! Dare to do my ......"

This time, the palace people were so alarmed that they ran out, and Gao Lian, who was guarding the door, was refreshed, and hurried over to persuade: "What are the second masters angry with this kind of thing?" He is just a villain, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the hot stove is fed! You're so angry......" He Meng, who was covered in mud and water, kicked twice more in the buttocks, and shouted, "Is the person at the door dead?" Why don't you get rid of this disrespectful thing! The eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office guarding the door were already stunned, and when they saw Yinren's master and servant chasing, scolding and beating, they were busy swarming out, some persuaded Yinren, and some urged He Meng, "Don't go quickly!" Yinren was held by someone, and he was so angry that he went crazy, jumping barefoot and chasing after him, and when he saw He Meng'an going out of the gate, he put his heart down and said loudly: "Can this make people still live?" How did he scold me? Now it's like this again...... If I couldn't bear it at all, I would have died of anger...... Mother, why did you die so early, do you know what sins your son suffered? As he spoke, he was already crying. When everyone heard him so sad, they looked at each other with sadness.

He Meng was so shocked that his three souls and seven souls were incomplete, and he held the piece of paper in his intestines, and his heart beat wildly. Braving the heavy rain, staggering like a chicken, one foot high, one foot lower from the east side of the Huangji Hall to the south, try to avoid the place where people go, because they don't take the main road, only pass the Wenhua Hall from the south three places, and come out from the door of the Heart Palace. It was already dark, thunder and lightning, rain was pouring down, and the palace was dark. I didn't meet anyone. Seeing the Donghua Gate, I just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the guardian at the door shouting: "Who is it?" ”

"I ......" He Meng was so frightened that he shuddered, and when he fixed his gaze, it was the first-class guard Delentai, and he smiled and said: "It's the German army!" Aren't you in charge of the Xihua Gate? Why are you here again? "Now both doors are under my control." Delentai looked at it for a long time before he remembered, because he said: "It's Doctor He!" Why don't you even bring rain gear? Who do you go in to see a doctor? Remember that you entered through Xihua Gate, how to get out of here. He Meng froze and said with a wry smile: "I went in today to see the second elder brother's illness, and I don't want to touch his moldy head...... so he went back to the prescription one by one, and said: "Codonopsis is not a great expensive medicine, and besides, the money in the palace is used, why should I save for the second master?" He was so enthusiastic that he used tonic medicine without evacuating first, so how did he get it...... Although Xihua Gate is closer to home, good German Army Gate, you look at this day, the palace is full of ghosts, I am timid, I am almost scared to death, I only copy the closer ones and hurry out of the palace......"

Delentai didn't say a word, just looked He Meng up and down, listened to his nagging and talking, his words were sparse, his face was blue and uncertain, and he was secretly suspicious in his heart, so he said: "Doctor He, you are patient for a while." Now the rules of the fourth master are big, and all internal officials, eunuchs, and doctors go deep into the palace and go in and out at night, and all those who enter and leave at night must be searched. I'm sorry, you go to the ear room over there, take advantage of the opportunity to change into dry clothes, such a heavy rain, it's not too late to stop and go. He Meng had to complain in his heart, and when he wanted to speak, Delentai had already stepped outside the Donghua Gate, and he looked ignorant, so he had to follow the eunuch to the south ear room.

For a while, Yinzhen's sedan chair stopped outside the Donghua Gate, pretending to be a long-term sexual voice with an umbrella. A small guy led the way up the stairs with a lantern. Delentai hurriedly stepped forward to help Yinzhen to the eaves, bowed down to say goodbye, and said: "It's raining so heavily, I thought the fourth master wouldn't check the night tonight, I don't want the fourth master to still come!" ”

"Checking the night is not against you, nor is it directed against you. You are serious, I don't have anyone who is not worried. Yin Zhen smiled slightly, "I'm worried about the illness of the second elder brother, and they will give me a lecture next night and say that He Meng wants to go in." This must have been gone a long time ago? Delentai smiled: "It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, the one surnamed He is about to leave the palace, I asked them to check it." The poor one was so cold that he couldn't look like it, so he changed into dry clothes. As he was talking, He Meng came out with the two eunuchs, and the eunuch smiled: "It's all searched, it's really naked!" Nothing but a blank piece of paper for prescriptions. Delentai smiled and said to He Meng: "You said that you are timid, but you don't walk on the road with lights all the way to the Qianqing Palace, you don't even bring a rain gear, and your face is scared to death, how can you blame me for being suspicious?" Since you don't have anything with you, go back to the hot kang head! ”

He Meng couldn't wait for this, and was busy agreeing to leave, but was stopped by Yinzhen: "You come back, why are you so busy?" It's strange if you don't pour your soup chicken when you go out! He Meng had no choice but to stand up again, his face pale with fright. Yin Zhen paced back and forth for two steps, stood still in front of He Meng, and when his knife-like gaze moved, Fang said, "What disease does the second elder brother suffer?" ”

"Back to the fourth master, I have a cold, a cold and a fever."

"Big Brother was sick yesterday, and he also called you, right?"

"Yes......"

"What's wrong with him?"

"Uncle is a heatstroke ......"

Yin Zhen couldn't help but sneer, "Okay, one is cold, the other is hot, now the current atmosphere is really incredible, it's hard for you to be Langzhong!" The cold and heat attack their hearts, presumably they also have some kind of illness in their hearts? He Meng shuddered steeply, glanced at Yinzhen quickly, lowered his head and muttered: "I am not sick in my heart, but I am not nervous in my heart......"

"I'm not sick in my heart, and I'm not afraid to take cold medicine." Yin Zhen gritted his fine teeth and smiled, "It's just that the eldest brother and second brother are too sick, and I'm a little suspicious." There is a cloud in "Tongjian", "Although I am not as smart as Shi Kuang, I know the meaning of elegance when I hear the string song", what about the paper? Take it out and show it to the fourth master. ”

“……”

"Huh?"

Yinzhen's voice was not high, but there was huge pressure, and even Delentai next to him was shocked in his heart, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on He Meng's head, and he took out the paper with shaking hands, handed it to Yinzhen, and said: "When the slave came out, he brought this paper because of some internal urgency...... Because it was dark and raining, I was scared, and I was afraid that I would in the palace for people to see, so I didn't use it. ”

"Hugh blames the fourth master for being mean. Since everyone says that about me, I set an example of meanness more and more. Yinzhen took the paper, leaned under the lamp to look at the paper, an ordinary Xue Tao note, there was nothing unusual, so he had to say mockingly, "Long live since you handed over this home to me, you can't be careless." Every stitch and thread of mistakes is my business! With that, he threw the paper back. He Meng didn't follow the paper and landed on the wetland at Yinzhen's feet.

"God," exclaimed Delentai, seeing it at a glance, "handwriting! Handwriting! More than a dozen pro-soldier eunuchs listened to his call and were stunned!

Yin Zhen also trembled in his heart, his face became extremely pale, he slowly squatted down, raised his hand to call someone to come over, and when he looked at the paper carefully, he saw that a few lines of water-stained handwriting were becoming more and more obvious. This is a letter:

Brother Lingpu turned to Master Wang and Tianbao and Jiayou Tai to read: Ren has been imprisoned since then, and since then he has been more than seven years, looking at the sky in prison, crying blood and tears! Now as in the past, there is no chance to see each other. I learned that there was something going on in the court in the west, and I looked forward to Xiang Si's words, so that Ren had a way to make up for his reform, return to his knees, and be a good minister and filial son. Geng Geng's heart, only heaven can learn from it!

Aixin Jueluo Yinren respects the secret book

A slightly scribbled regular script, the font is very familiar, it is the long-lost "prince" handbook! Everyone at the scene was awe-inspiring.
