The little servant handed over the small bamboo tube carrying the Tibetan letter from the flying pigeons in the palace to Hongday, and hurriedly retreated.

Hongyang held the bamboo tube the thickness of his little finger, found a quiet place where no one was around, and gently pulled out the paper roll. Twisting the paper roll, the familiar handwriting jumped on the paper, and there was only the word "minister".

This word made Hongday's heart sink completely, and all the original hopes were shattered. He knew that the emperor's time was running out, and Concubine Xi had been holding the harem for a long time, and she might have already stretched out her hand to the court. Then, Hongli is the only heir to the throne.

"Fifth Master." Xu Zi Moli called not far away, and arched his hand: "You already have a clue about what you told Zi Mocha. ”

Hongtian gathered the paper ball into a small ball, held it in the palm of his hand, turned his head and said, "Go to the study and talk about it." ”

Xu Zimo nodded, followed behind Hongday, and went to the study. At this time, Chang Fujin Wu Zha Ku Shi Yun happened to pass by, looking at the figure of the fifth master and Xu Zimo hurrying away, she frowned uneasily, and said to the maid Xue Kite beside her: "Bring a cup of ginseng tea, Ben Fujin wants to give it to the fifth master with his own hands." ”

Snow Kite nodded obediently and stepped back. Regardless of the fact that she was pregnant, she tried her best to follow the two of them to the study lightly. The child in the womb is already the fourth son of the fifth master, and the third child of her and the fifth master. For the sake of this child, she must follow Concubine Yu's entrustment, persuade the fifth master to move his mind, and surrender to Prince Bao Hongli.

"Say it." After Hongyang threw the ball into the copper furnace and turned into a wisp of yellow smoke, he sat down calmly and said, "What's the idea?" ”

Although Xu Zimo knew that there was no one else in the study, he lowered his voice uneasily, and said softly: "The slave has already let people investigate, I don't know where the news leaked, saying that the fourth master ...... is not the flesh and blood of Concubine Xi's relatives, and it is even very likely that she is the son of a Han girl. In this way, the fourth master is not a serious Manchurian, how can such a bloodline ascend the throne? ”

Hong Sun popped up from the chair with a bang, and his eyes widened round and wide: "It's a big matter, do you have any evidence?" ”

Xu Zi shook his head in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "This wind is blowing extremely violently, as if it came out of the palace, but I can't find the slightest clue about the root cause." The slave only knew that the fourth master entered the palace yesterday to ask to see the emperor, but let Xi Guifei Niangniang block the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Thinking that the fourth master knew the rumors and wanted to ask the emperor for verification, Concubine Xi was afraid that the mother and son who had worked hard for 25 years would be affectionately ruined, so she ......"

"To put it mildly, these are just speculations on your part." Hongli was extremely interested, after all, it was about whether Hongli's bloodline was pure, but when he heard that Zimo had no evidence, the hot atrium immediately cooled again. "To put it mildly, the emperor's time is running out, even if the fourth elder brother Hongli is really not the flesh and blood of Concubine Xi's relatives, he must be the emperor's heir. Since the emperor can hand him over to his favorite concubine to raise, he will definitely lick the calf deeply and will not easily change the holy will. ”

Convinced of the fifth master's words, Xu Zimo bowed his head affirmatively: "The slave thinks the same way." But the servants always felt that even if the emperor didn't mind the bloodline, the courtiers might not be willing. If ......" rolled his eyes, Xu Zimo's trick casually said: "If Concubine Yu is willing to stand up and make this matter public, even if the Qianqing Palace is behind the bright plaque, there is really a holy decree from the emperor to the fourth elder brother, it may not be able to make the officials nod." ”

These words seemed to wake up Hongday, and his face changed several times, sometimes gloomy, sometimes confident, and sometimes extremely resentful: "Even if the officials can let go of such a big stain and suspicion, the annals of history will not let him go of his love for Xinjue Luo Hongli, so what kind of face does he have to reign in the world." In other words, it is difficult for the emperor to take back his fate, but it is easy to force Hongli to abdicate by himself. ”

Xu Zimo shook his head repeatedly, and his eyes flashed with determination: "Yes, the fifth master, the fourth master consciously takes care of the loss, and he will inevitably ......"

Before he could say a word, Hongtian suddenly lowered his face and motioned him to stop. There seemed to be someone outside the window.

On the one hand, Hongtian pulled out the dagger from his waist, and on the other hand, he motioned to Xu Zimo to clamp it on one side, and the two slowly approached the door. Glancing at each other, they slammed open the door and jumped out.

Wu Zaku was so shocked that his face instantly turned cyan. "Fifth master, don't, it's a concubine."

"It's you." Hongday's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately withdrew the dagger. "Zimo, you go down first." Even so, many decisions are imminent. But Hongtian was still worried that Fang Cai's actions would scare Yu Yun, so he ordered Zi Mo to go first, wanting to comfort his wife.

Of course, Hongyang also wanted to find out why she appeared outside the study door at this time, and how much she had heard.

Yu Yun stroked her high and erect abdomen, pressed her chest again, and exhaled quietly: "Fifth master, the concubine originally wanted to serve you a cup of ginseng tea, but who knew that the girl of the snow kite was slow and slow, and it hadn't been delivered yet." ”

Hongyang helped Yu Yun into the study, waited for her to sit firmly, and said, "So, you've been listening outside the door for a while?" ”

"Yes." Zhen Yun didn't mean to evade it at all, her face was serious, and she said sincerely: "The words of the fifth master and Zi Mo, Yun Yun listened to it almost word for word. And I was so impressed, I'm afraid I won't forget it for a while. ”

"The affairs of the previous dynasty have nothing to do with the woman." Hongtian frowned, obviously displeased: "What's more, you have a body, you really don't have to worry about this time." ”

Yun Yun leaned on the back of the chair, stood up with difficulty, and raised her face to Shang Hongday's unclear eyes: "It is precisely because the concubine has a body that I can't watch your husband in danger." If you can't force the position, you will say that you are the husband, even the flesh and blood in my abdomen, and the dozens of lives in the house, will all be in different places, and the blood will flow like a river. Is this what you would like to see, Fifth Master? ”

"Is that enough?" Hongtian didn't want to listen to it anymore, on weekdays, this gentle and kind Yan Fujin always lowered his eyebrows and was obedient, and he was obedient, but he didn't want to learn to eavesdrop today, and in addition to eavesdropping, he actually learned to talk back.

"Nope." Yun Yunwu took a step forward, grabbed Hongyang's hand, and pressed his hand on his abdomen with a little stubbornness: "Fifth master, in another month's effort, the child in the concubine's womb will be born." The concubine only hopes that the family can be safe. You don't want to think about what kind of place is in the palace and how Concubine Yu has survived for decades. Can you bear to let your concubines and children have the same fate as you and Concubine Yu? ”

Hongyang tried to stop her from continuing, but he couldn't withdraw the hand that was pressed on her abdomen.

"Fifth master, even if you don't want this, you always have to take care of Concubine Yu's life, don't you?" Tears ran down her slightly rounded cheeks and slowly slid down: "Whether you want to force the fourth master to abdicate the throne, or use any other method to try to violate the holy will, it will lead to an extremely terrible consequence, that is, to give away Concubine Yu's life and cut off the mother-son relationship between you and Niangniang." ”

"Say no more." Hongyang roared: "She refuses to support her own son to the throne, are you also blindfolded and look down on me like this?" ”

Yu Yun knew that Hongtian was angry, and he didn't dare to go down, but slowly knelt at his feet, and muttered: "In the concubine's body and mind, the fifth master, you are the sky, if the sky falls, the concubine body doesn't know how to live." If the fifth master insists on going your own way and refuses to listen to the persuasion of Concubine Yu, her concubine, and the children, please ask the fifth master to execute us first, and then do the big things you want to do without worries. ”

"You ......" Hongtian was not lightly angry, originally the throne was just a breath that he couldn't swallow. Since he was a child, he has lost everything to the fourth elder brother, and he has never been as concerned by the emperor as he is. Now, the people around him don't let him compete for a high or low, is it true that fate really uses the word "minister" to encompass his life?

Yu Yun understood Hongday's thoughts, she gently hugged Hongday's little feet, and said softly: "Fifth master, in the eyes of your concubine, you are a hero and the most amazing person." Or the Qing Dynasty needs you to do your best to repay the results, but it is far less than the concubine body, and you need to support the heaven in your heart. I dare to ask the fifth master to retract his mind, even if it is for the sake of our children. ”

Hongyang looked at his sweetheart in pain at his feet in a daze, and he suddenly felt that his brows were frowning very tightly, as if it hurt when he pulled it. How could he speak with such a determination? Do you really want to use the blood of your loved ones to gamble on this game?

At the same time, Prince Bao's Mansion was exceptionally quiet. Except for the jealous women, they do everything they can to please and flatter, and they can't see the slightest bit of blood. Hongli was far more calm than he imagined, and he kept out those heart-wrenching rumors, and he didn't want to bother at all.

Over time, some people are surprised. Huang Rui'e is one of them, she can't figure it out, these days, the fourth master has not entered the palace, and even military affairs have been sent into the palace by someone to dispose of their rights. Why did the fourth master have a lot of time to rest in the house, but he couldn't touch it under the same roof.

In addition to being strange, Huang Rui'e also had to observe the movements in the houses of others. Fujin is finally good, the fourth master often accompanies him, whether it is a meal or a game, it is always like the rules of the house, it is indispensable.

Wulanara was on Fujin's side, but it was gradually coldened, and the fourth master didn't seem to love it very much. Why?

Full of concern, Huang Rui'e walked slowly on the cobblestone path, and she didn't feel how difficult it was to walk on such a round and uneven stone. But I happened to see Bi Lan and Bao Lan beside Gao Lingxi, as if they were holding something rare, sneaky and didn't know what they were doing.

Huang Rui'e quietly motioned to the maid to take a look at it, but she stood still and did not move.

Just as Qiqi passed by, he had to pat Huang Rui'e on the shoulder from behind: "Huang Gege is really interested, what are you looking at here?" ”
