Chapter 583: Questioning
On the sixth day of October, Kangxi summoned Suo Etu to go to Texas to serve the prince.
In the capital, Suo Etu had already received the news that the prince was seriously ill, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but Kangxi didn't summon him, but he didn't dare to leave Beijing without permission.
As soon as Kangxi commanded, he immediately set off and rushed to Texas day and night.
After Suo Etu arrived in Texas, he first went to see Kangxi, and then went to the prince's bedroom.
Because he was so worried about the prince's illness that he didn't notice it, Kangxi didn't have the slightest worry on his face, but it was an indescribable complication.
After Suo Etu saw Kangxi, he went straight to the prince's bedroom, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "How has the prince been in the past two days?" ”
The servant who was waiting on the side replied: "The prince's condition has stabilized today, and he has no recurrence of fever, and he woke up a little in the morning, and went to sleep again with a small bowl of rice oil." ”
Suo Etu heard that the prince had woken up and eaten, so he put a little snack in his heart.
He walked slowly to the prince's bed, and when he looked at it, tears fell: "My poor prince, why did you lose weight like this?" ”
The prince has not eaten for a few days, and only eats a little rice oil every day, can he not lose weight?
His crying woke up the prince from crying.
The prince woke up and muttered in a daze: "Water...... Water ......"
"Hurry up, bring water to the prince!"
Suo Etu personally fed the prince a few mouthfuls of water, and the prince slowly sobered up, and when he saw Suo Etu, he was a little confused: "Uncle? ”
Suo Etu burst into tears: "My prince, you can be regarded as awake, and the slave is worried about dying these days." ”
The prince only felt top-heavy: "Lonely, what's wrong?" ”
"The prince is sick, he has been sick for several days, but he is worried about the death of the slave!"
"Sick alone? Liu Quan'er, what day is it today? Liu Quan'er? ”
The prince looked left and right, but he didn't see Liu Quan'er, and a little eunuch with some eyes said timidly: "Prince, Grandpa Liu was killed by the cane of the Long Live Lord......"
"Cane to death?"
The prince sat up in shock, but because he got up too violently, his head was dizzy, and he fell down again.
Suo Etu hurriedly rubbed his temples and said: "The servants heard that the emperor did not serve the prince well because of Liu Quan'er and their slaves, so the prince contracted the disease, so he killed them all. ”
The prince's fingers clenched tightly, only to feel that his heart was full of helplessness and resentment.
Liu Quan'er, they have been serving him for many years, and they can be said to be loyal to him, how could Khan Ama kill them all because of such a small matter?
He glanced at the few new-eyed minions, and the doubts in his heart couldn't stop surging up.
Or is Khan Ama finally not worried about him? Are you going to put someone around him to spy on him?
As he spoke, a servant came up with some food, and Suo Etu helped the prince up, leaned on the bed, and said, "The slave waits for the prince to eat something first, and the prince hasn't eaten well for several days." ”
The prince's illness has improved to a great extent, looking at the sticky rice oil and a few plates of verdant side dishes, he swallowed his saliva.
When the prince ate something and filled his stomach, Suo Etu sent all the servants who were waiting, and said with a worried face: "Your Highness, Liu Quan'er's death, I'm afraid it's not very normal." ”
Suo Etu remembers very well that even when the prince was young and had pox, Kangxi never wantonly sent the minions around him, and always only targeted those who "had different intentions" and "brought bad princes".
Suo Etu is very sure that Liu Quan will definitely not belong to the category of "dissenting people", and his loyalty to the prince is obvious to him.
The prince was also worried: "Lone also feels abnormal, it's just that Lone has been in a coma for a long time, and he doesn't know anything, and the minions around him have changed people......"
Suo Etu suddenly said: "The slave heard that the prince has been asleep for a few days, and the fourth master, the ninth master and the thirteenth master take care of the prince respectively during the day, perhaps, you can ask the fourth master?" ”
Among the three princes, the fourth master is trustworthy, and the ninth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the crown prince are not close.
The prince pondered for a moment and nodded.
It didn't take long for the fourth elder brother to be invited, and Suo Etu hid behind the screen.
The prince retreated from everyone and asked the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother, Lone has been very sick and groggy these days, and I don't know anything about foreign affairs. ”
The fourth elder brother's expression fluctuated slightly, he was raised by Empress Xiaoyiren when he was young, at that time, as the imperial concubine, Tong Jia's family took the sixth palace affairs, Kangxi often took the young prince to the Chengqian Palace, and also gave the fourth elder brother and the prince a lot of time to get along.
Although the prince is arrogant, he is still good for this younger brother who can rarely see each other often.
Recalling the past, the fourth elder brother's heart softened slightly.
The prince said: "Lone has something to ask the fourth brother, I don't know how the minions around Lone angered Khan Ama?" ”
Seeing that the prince asked about this matter, the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "The courtiers don't know this matter very clearly, but I heard that it was Khan Ama who saw that the prince was seriously ill and blamed them for not serving their masters well, which made them accept the guilt." ”
The fourth elder brother's statement is the same as the news Suo Etu got, but the prince and Suo Etu both feel that this apparent reason is just an excuse, and there must be deeper problems in between!
The prince frowned and said, "There is nothing to do?" ”
The fourth elder brother bowed his head and said, "Brother Chen only knows this. ”
He thought in his heart that when those minions were convicted, except for Khan Amma, only the old thirteen were on his side, and if there was anyone else in this world who could know the truth and tell the prince, it would be only the old thirteen.
However, the fourth elder brother did not say it, he believed that the prince and Suo Etu could find the old thirteen as long as they checked it slightly.
Sure enough, the prince couldn't get an answer from the fourth elder brother, so Suo Etu sent the minions around him to inquire about the news-he and the prince didn't dare to trust these new ones around the prince.
Before long, a minion found out the news.
"When Khan Ama disposed of Liu Quan'er and them, only the thirteenth was present?"
The prince and Suo Etu glanced at each other, and invited the thirteenth elder brother over.
When the thirteenth elder brother received the invitation, he was very happy: "The prince is awake?" That's great! ”
However, he was extremely sad in his heart, knowing that he would have to face the prince sooner or later, and gritted his teeth and passed.
As soon as they met, the thirteenth elder brother said happily: "Brother Chen, congratulations to the prince on his recovery." ”
The prince was a little in good spirits, so he barely cheered up and said, "Thank you for your concern." Thirteenth brother, when Gu's minions were sent down by Khan Amma, you were at the scene, you tell Gu Shire, what did they do? ”
