This Hui Zhu rushed to the courtyard where Yin Zhen lived in a panic, but was told that others were in the Water Pavilion, and at that moment she couldn't wait to put on the wings and fly to the Water Pavilion at once, fortunately, the Water Pavilion was not far from here, and after going around for a while, she saw the guards of the yellow armor, the palace eunuch in blue, and the palace lady in green clothes clustered in a vermilion hollow water corridor.

Wanting to be close to the entrance of the water pavilion, the anxious flame in Huizhu's heart was instantly extinguished, and she hesitated to look at the water pavilion where birds were skimming the water not far away, and the water pavilion with willow branches swaying in the breeze was stunned.

At this time, the water pavilion located in the center of the pond lifted a bamboo curtain, Xiao Luzi raised his sleeves to half-cover the sun exposed, squinted, and sure enough, he saw the master and servant of Huizhu hidden behind the rockery, and hurriedly walked towards the rockery; With a flick of the dust, he made a thousand calls to Huizhu, made a sideways invitation gesture and said, "Concubine Xi, the emperor announced that you have entered." Huizhu was like a frightened bird at this time, gasping in surprise, and Fang Jaw responded.

Then I entered the water pavilion, only to see a red sandalwood oval beauty couch placed on the two railings near the water, and there are two red sandalwood flat corner tables at the end of the couch, one is placed on the wine cup holder, Shiguo pastry, and the other is placed on the tea cage and other twenty-four utensils for cooking tea and drinking. At this time, the two pretty palace ladies were boiling tea with the wind stove, and the spout released a rising hot white smoke.

Seeing this, Huizhu couldn't help but think of what Yinzhen had said in the matter of drinking tea, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools"; He has always been meticulous about drinking tea, even in the middle of summer, he has to drink hot tea, and the market scoffs at the various flower tea herbal teas she is used to drinking.

"Concubine Xi brought me tea." Leng Buding was resting on the beauty couch, and Yin Zhenru, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, suddenly spoke. Huizhu said "ah", immediately came back to her senses, and hurriedly took the bowl covered with celadon from Gong'e's hand, and went to the couch to offer it with both hands.

Yin Zhen opened his eyes, took a sip of tea, sighed comfortably, and waved his hand to push back the palace people in the Water Pavilion, Fang Zheng looked at Huizhu and said, "Why are you looking for me?" If it's not necessary for Yongqi, I already know it. Hearing this, Huizhu's nerves tensed, and she looked at Yinzhen with a calm face in disbelief, and without thinking about it, she blurted out directly: "Yongshen was seriously ill at the beginning, and the concubine just mentioned it in passing, if you can pay more attention to it at that time, you can go and see it, maybe ...... Yongshen won't be able to ......" Speaking of the back, it was already silent.

Yinzhen's deep pupils crossed a trace of surprise, but he quickly brought out a trace of unexpected thoughts, and helplessly overflowed a very short sigh: "Yongshen's sudden death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty." ”

Huizhu was immediately shocked, and then turned her head away in shame, her panic, her shock, it was indeed not for Yongshen's sudden death; It's just that she deliberately talked about Yongshen at the beginning, and then Yongshen's sudden death caused the guilt rising in her heart, and she found an excuse for peace of mind! Sorting out the thoughts in her heart, Huizhu laughed at herself, and still said stubbornly: "Then the emperor accepted it so calmly, Yongshen is one of your grandsons, the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he died suddenly, and you didn't react at all?" ”

Facing Huizhu's repeated questioning, Yinzhen subconsciously frowned, wondering where her uncharacteristically aggressive came from? The meaning of doubt and inquiry flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, but in the next moment, he was just like the cold and hard emperor who did not change his face when he talked about the sudden death of his loved ones, and his ruthless words jumped out from his thin lips: "A child whose own father and Ma are all in vain to live and die, why should I care." It's only to blame that he was born in the royal family, and he didn't have a mother who could protect him. ”

Huizhu was shocked, took three steps back to the railing behind her, and pieced together words: "You-you mean-Concubine Qi's mother and son, they harmed-"

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Zhen interrupted coldly: "Although Yongkun is not the black hand they did, it is also the evil result of their connivance. As he spoke, Yin Zhen turned his gaze away, and his eyes flew for a moment, and he chewed the taste in his mouth: "My son is indeed a person who is not informal, and he is not informal. ”

"Your Majesty?" Huizhu was suspicious.

Hearing this, the whirlpool in Yinzhen's eyes calmed down, and he looked sideways and said to Huizhu: "If you can't get over the hurdle in your heart, you can take Yongkun's future affairs to handle." “

What does she do? Yongkun's grandmother Li didn't do it, but let her do it, and she shouldn't be let either. Thinking of this, Huizhu reluctantly swallowed Yongkun's sudden death, and asked uncertainly: "The emperor means to let the concubines deal with Yongkun—"

Before Huizhu finished speaking, she heard a sharp female voice crying: "Your Majesty! In the next moment, the bamboo curtain of the water pavilion was opened with a "swish", and Li rushed in with tears on his face, but saw that Huizhu was also in the pavilion, his eyes suddenly froze, but he immediately shifted all his attention to the person on the couch, and knelt down in a few big steps, and couldn't help but be sad.

After a series of changes, Huizhu had not yet come back to his senses, and saw Xiao Luzi and the palace people rolling up the bamboo curtain, and Sanfu Jindong E's face was pale and he walked from the corridor, but behind him was a dead person!

Huizhu's eyes widened with all her might, and her gaze focused on a little eunuch dressed in a dark blue palace prison uniform. I saw that the thin little eunuch was getting closer and closer, and his figure and face clearly appeared in Huizhu's eyes - the little eunuch who was very likely to push Nian's fall into the water and then died of serious injuries!

The irrepressible suspicion set off layers of waves in Huizhu's heart, and on the other hand, the Li family unconsciously prostrated in front of Yinzhen and cried sadly: "Your Majesty, your grandson Yongshen is gone, how can the concubine accept it." He is the only grandson of the emperor and his concubines, Hongshi's only son, the child is smart and filial when he is young, but why did he die in a summer heat, do you know? He suddenly fell ill last night, and he was uncomfortable all night, and when he was dying in the morning, he didn't forget to call 'Huang Ma Fa, his grandson will serve the court like Ama in the future, and give Huang Ma Fa filial piety to relieve his worries', why do you say he is so sensible! Seeing him Ama sad these days to be misunderstood by you and go to the errand, he is always worried in his heart"

Li seemed to be heartbroken, and sobbed for a while and said: "The concubine is uncomfortable, Yongshen wants a younger brother wholeheartedly, but Hongshi's daughter-in-law has just been pregnant for three months, and the emperor and grandson in this belly have not yet landed, and Yongshen has not even seen the younger brother he misses, so he went like this, the emperor!" ”

Huizhu listened to it from the side, and suddenly heard that Dong E's was pregnant, and couldn't help staring; Dong E was looked at by Huizhu's gaze, hurriedly covered his stomach with both hands, shrank back, and stared at Huizhu defensively.

Li cried for a while, but he couldn't make any response, and a faint feeling of weakness rose in his heart, and he hurriedly called out "Emperor" as if to cover up: "Hongshi's daughter-in-law also accompanied the concubine, and the imperial doctor went to show her a few days ago, saying that she was guaranteed to be the emperor's eldest grandson in her belly, and it was also regarded as replacing Yongshen to fulfill her filial piety to the emperor.

"Ahh On his cheeks, which were red from emotion, suddenly changed drastically, showing a blue and white color, he stretched out a finger full of gems and jade, pointed at the man tremblingly, and said sharply: "Who are you?" The blue sky and the white sun dare to appear in front of the emperor and the palace! Come on, drag him out of the palace! Drag it out! ”

Yin Zhen snorted coldly, waved away the Li clan in front of him with one hand, and straightened up and said, "Oh, Concubine Qi, take a closer look at who he is, you should be quite clear!" The tone suddenly became cold, and the quintessential Li fell to the ground, looking at Yinzhen with blank eyes.

But the Li family was still a little shrewd after all, and saw that she had already recovered her senses in just a moment, and forcibly defended herself: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembered that he was the suspicious eunuch who was arrested by Concubine Xi at the beginning. The concubine always thought that he was out of breath in the cell, but when she saw it, she was startled. ”

Yin Zhen's eyes were piercing, and he said in a deep voice: "Concubine Qi, how many years have you been by my side, and you know that I hate people and deceive the most. As soon as he heard this, Li's face was terrified, but he was busy covering the past, and he wanted to justify, so he heard Yinzhen say in an extremely flat tone: "The family of four who was sent to Sichuan by Silda's people, but was ordered to be eliminated by you on the way, do you need me to meet you?" ”

"No-", hearing this, after Li Shi couldn't stop screaming, he crawled to Yinshen with his hands and feet, hugged Yinshen's right leg, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know the eunuch, how can you let people go to the killer!" Don't believe the words of the traitor, the concubine is innocent! Yes, the concubine is innocent, you must have been deceived by someone" said, looked around blankly, suddenly his eyes were focused, and he glared at Huizhu resentfully: "It's her, it must be Concubine Xi who chewed her tongue in front of you, don't believe her words." By the way, and the eunuch was found by her, she must have a grudge against the young concubine's mother and son, so she was poisoned, and she pushed the concubine-ah-"

Yin Zhen kicked away the Li clan and shouted angrily: "The Li clan! Until now, you still dare to deceive me. Speaking of this, he leaned over and took out a three-inch lacquered wooden box from the couch and smashed it casually at Li; Hearing a "bang", the box opened in response, and a piece of emerald green ring jade pendant fell out.

Yin Zhen looked coldly at Li's frightened appearance of staring at Yu Pei, and stopped at the curtain of the Water Pavilion, and the little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said: "At the beginning, the slave was afraid that Concubine Qi would not keep her promise and let go of the slave's family, so he desperately asked for a piece of proof of Concubine Qi's identity and belongings; This jade jade pendant is the object allocated to Concubine Qi by the Internal Affairs Office during the New Year last year, and it is also the evidence of Concubine Qi's crime of instructing the slaves to murder Concubine Nian. ”
