Three hundred and twenty-nine, people are not as good as the sky (II)
September of the eleventh year of Yongzheng
I thought that something had happened in Chengde, and Emperor Yongzheng would summon me as soon as he returned to Beijing. But there were so many days that there had not been, and the whole court waited in a way that was about to rain but was surprisingly calm, and this was to me like the calm before the storm.
On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, based on the fact that tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, it stands to reason that you should go out, but because of the tense atmosphere for a while, no one is interested in going out. And my fear is getting deeper and deeper---- my sister's wind and cold has been sick for too long, even if she was sick in the past, she would send people to visit me when she didn't summon me to the palace during the New Year's holidays. And this time, Emperor Yongzheng didn't even bother to do it a little perfunctory, he didn't seem to care or deliberately let me know my sister's situation, why is this?
Or does he want me to passively go to him, what do you want from me?
"Seventeen, I'll go to the palace tonight, you don't have to wait for me, tomorrow we will celebrate the festival as usual." The emperor really wants to publicize this matter, and it proves that once this matter is publicized, it will be beneficial to him and harmful to us, so I need to suppress my position, and I must not show my flaws because of the chaos.
"Shall we have it tomorrow?" The seventeenth elder brother was a little surprised, but immediately reacted: "I'll prepare, but you're too tired, I'll help you entertain tomorrow." ”
At first, he didn't understand why I insisted on a big feast when I had been almost exhausted for the past few days. But he was so smart and understood that I had to do this---- the true illness of the imperial concubine has become a topic of speculation among many people, and Prince Bao's long trip has made the government and the opposition have different opinions, if at this time, I don't immediately appear in front of the public, creating the illusion of singing and dancing, then there will be a lot of unfavorable rumors circulating in the streets and alleys.
I have to stand up. Even if I have to face a lot of doubts now, even if there are many people who have long been jealous of me and have already started preparing to beat the water dogs, I just can't back down. "No, Seventeenth Brother, it's none of your business here, the person they want to see is me. And I'll never fall down because of a few messages! "If I can't even withstand this little storm. I don't deserve to live to this day.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
A warm feeling enveloped me---I'll wait for you to come back, I just need this sentence to let me know that at least one person will always be with me." That's all I need to do, and I'll use my courage to hold on to the end......
The eighth day of September in the eleventh year of Yongzheng. night
The Forbidden City is a forbidden place. It is not easy to enter and exit the court at night. But this is easy for me---- almost all the guards in the palace are from my place. I think Emperor Yongzheng is also very clear about this. Because my arrival in the middle of the night is not sudden. The Temple of Heart Cultivation was almost brightly lit waiting for me.
"Is Your Majesty waiting for me?" It's really amazing. In order to seize this opportunity. In order to force me to take the initiative to come to him. He'd rather wait all night like this-
Although I admit that he is scheming. But I absolutely didn't believe he could have figured out that I would make up my mind to fight him that day. So he had to wait......
"You think it's worth the wait?" Sneered. But he smiled coldly: "Niu Colu. Qiyun. Don't think too highly of yourself! ”
"It doesn't matter if it's too high or too low. The key is to see what His Majesty wants. "I don't want to learn about his awkward personality. Going around in circles is a waste of time. It's better to be open and honest: "My sister has been with you for so many years. Even if you are sick. Anyway, my own sister can go and take a look, right? Still is. What did His Majesty do. Don't dare let our sisters meet? ”
"You should ask what you've done!" The hatred is over. He was a little remorseful. But awkwardly turned his head away from me. "You should ask your sister. What did you all do! ”
"A lot." Including the war a while ago, including the court, including the location of the ----harem, you chose to be an emperor, but you should understand that there is no free lunch in this world. When you are the emperor, you are equal to choosing deception and betrayal, who makes your feelings stained with utilitarianism, who makes everyone around you fall into the quagmire of power, this, you should not be resentful!
Sister, sister who loves you so much. Also choose a different way to be your woman. The bloody battles and deceit are all brought about by your throne, who do you blame?!
"I'm not talking about the autumn moon. It's not about the war with the Mongols! My eyes narrowed---- it turned out that he knew it, no wonder he seized Yue Zhongqi's military power without blinking an eye: "Do you know what I encountered in Rehe?" These days, you probably squeezed your head and didn't find out, so you had to make this trip, right? I show you the way. Why don't you ask your allies---- trust that heaven and earth will tell you what happened in Chengde! ”
"What?" He even knows my relationship with the Heaven and Earth Society? How is this possible?
I couldn't help but step back into the corner, feeling a chill on my body, and even my stomach felt a burst of nausea.
"Why, if you're scared, people like you can feel scared?" He caught up, clenched his fists, and with a few swings I suspected he was trying to jam my neck: "Do you know what I remembered?" I remembered that my seventeenth brother was inexplicably kidnapped by those thieves, and I remembered the matter of the Korean prince back then---- it was you, it was you, I had been covering it up for you back then, how old were you then, you were only thirteen years old! ”
"No, it's not like that...... "The matter of the prince of Joseon is an accident, and I don't want to think about the matter of the seventeenth elder brother, it's not what you think!"
"Even though so many things have happened between us, I have always chosen to forgive you, and I really don't want to use one word to describe you--- Niu Colu. Qiyun, why don't you hide a knife in your smile, why don't you have a heart like a poisonous scorpion! "The big hand finally stuck my neck, but I almost lost the courage to resist---- I remembered my deception of the seventeenth elder brother, he still thinks that I was forced to do it for the antidote, and I have been hiding it from him until now.
"Niu Co Lu. Qiyun, don't you keep saying that you love the seventeenth brother very much? Is this what you call love? Back then, you even made a plot against such a small seventeenth elder brother, do you have humanity, the love in your mouth is really hypocritical! "On the other hand, isn't that more hypocritical, Niu Colu. Qiyun even denied love.
"What the hell happened to you in Chengde?" The hand rested on my neck. But he didn't exert force---- I didn't move, and I knew that if he only wanted to kill me, he wouldn't be so aggressive. I think I'm very careful, and I don't even let Brother Seventeen know about it---- not to deceive, but to protect. I can't figure it out, how did she know that she was the highest in the Ninety-Five?
"Do you really want to know? You're sure you really ----"
"I have to know." Where I made a mistake and where did I go wrong?
"I was assassinated on the way to the city." Seeing that I don't mean anything. Yin's face, which had already calmed down, was immediately dyed with anger again: "Say, why didn't you say it?" ”
"Say what?" You're standing here, proving that you've not been stabbed to death, what's the point to ask.
"Say it's not you! Don't you all like to pretend to be innocent? The hand didn't get stuck in my trachea, but it pinched my jaw with pain: "Do you know what I was thinking? I think about the government and the opposition, who else wants me to die? Later, I thought that it was only you, only you, Qiyun! ”
So you think I did it, and that's right, I've been almost pushed to the end of your rope by you, and I haven't thought about assassinating you. It's just that you haven't deployed ---- Yin yet, you are too ruthless and too desperate, and you launched an attack on me first. And now, you have come to accuse me of trying to kill you, have you been ready to force me to this step a long time ago, and now you are coming to accuse me of righteousness?
"Since Your Majesty has decided it, then take it as me! I don't have anything to explain. ”
"You ----" very strange people. identified me, but kept hoping that I could deny it, and when he saw me admit it, he was so angry that he couldn't do it: "Qiyun, since you saw that I came back alive, you should have guessed the result of those people......
What good talent do I have, the living live, the dead die---- I have always lived like this, what I want, what I can't get is not what I can't get; Unwanted. If you don't want it, you'll be forced to grab it......
"There is a supreme master among them, originally I had no chance to come back alive, but when he broke into the inner tent, there was an accident---- "When I heard the supreme master, I immediately thought of Chen Huaifeng, and my ears immediately stood up, and such a small change did not escape the eyes of Emperor Yongzheng: "He saw Hongli, do you know what he blurted out?" "Look at me a little playfully.
What about that? I don't remember exactly, I remember that Chen Huaifeng seemed to mention the name of another child to me, but I didn't bother to remember it.
Could it be that this is such a small mistake that people often say that people are not as good as heaven? I was so defeated that I almost lost everything......
"Who is Shaojun?" The jaw was picked to the point where it would almost dislocate: "You know the ground." Judging by the look on your face when you heard the news, I'm sure you know! Say! What is the relationship between that Shaojun and Hongli? ”
Lose all! Lose all the games! Defeated......
"You say! Who is Shaojun. Is it the man you didn't know before entering the palace, why does he look so much like Hongli. Why? Yin almost burst into tears: "It was you who told me that Hongli was my son and you, I have been carefully cultivated for 20 years, and I have always had a hope, I hope that one day our family of three can be together ......"
"Say, why do you think you're deceiving me like this, is it fun to play with me?" Punched the wall behind me, but I don't have time to care about his fist---- Hongli is indeed your son, and I didn't lie to you about this one thing between me and you, but how can I say that you understand, will you believe me again in such a complicated and bizarre story?
"Niu Co Lu. Qiyun, you cruel woman, you actually try to tarnish the royal bloodline, you wait, I want you and your sister to pay the price! ”
I woke up suddenly, and I realized that I had been thinking about a misunderstanding---- I had been worried about my sister's comfort, but I had forgotten that I should be most worried about the people
Hongli, it is Hongli, since Emperor Yongzheng decided that he was not his son, he would definitely not keep him in this world, and it would be a shame for him to live for one more minute. And in order to cover up this ugly thing, my sister can only be sick for the time being, which is much more dangerous in comparison!
"Don't touch Hongli, he is really your son, you will regret killing him!" In a hurry, I almost stuck to his body, and hooked his neck with both hands: "I swear by the life of the seventeenth elder brother, Hongli is really your son, and you can't kill father and son." ”
"He's your son!" Almost hummed this sentence out of his nostrils: Qiyun, you patronize and protect your son, don't you want to know, how is your good partner? ”
That's right, Chen Huaifeng! People who shouldn't fail failed: "Chen ----" I suddenly remembered that Yongzheng didn't mention Chen Huaifeng's real name at all, and I didn't want to admit myself. Facing his sarcastic eyes, I didn't want to hide it anymore: "Chen Huaifeng, how is he?" ”
