The air is dry and refreshing in the afternoon, and the uncles of this heart palace have been accompanying Nian Guifei in the past few days, and I should be very relaxed, but now my mood can be comparable to that of the cold winter wax moon.

"Can you really see it?" It turned out that Nian Qiuyue was not a fool, at best, in front of the emperor, she pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"The minions can hear clearly." The people on the ground immediately returned: "As soon as Concubine Nian came, she asked Brother Jiu if she knew anything about you, master." ”

"What did Brother Nine say?" This poisonous snake, I have long known that as long as he does not die, I will not be able to sleep.

"Brother Nine said that he has always been against you, how can he know about you." The guard hurriedly explained everything he had heard: "Nian Guifei is not happy, saying that others don't know who you are, but she knows it clearly, and you can't do anything for him back then without a handle in the hands of others." ”

Confidant! However, people in my position today don't need to have any confidants to guess my mind!

"Brother Jiu said no, no, believe it or not. Then the young concubine became angry and scolded, saying that you are just a prisoner of the lower ranks now, and you dare to fight with the master of this palace, and this palace does not believe that you can pass the criminal law of the imperial court! ”

"How can it be!" I was so angry that I almost crushed the teacup in my hand, but I immediately held back, and there were still people who needed my reassurance: "You have a heart, I know that you are loyal to me, and I know everything about your mother, you can rest assured, as long as you can cure her old man's illness, no matter how expensive the medicine is, it will be recorded in your master's account." "As a superior. The most important thing is to know how to give both grace and power, so that someone is willing to work for you.

"Go back! Brother Jiu has to keep an eye on me, in case he can't stand the trick, you know what to do! ”

Nian Guifei, your heart is too ruthless and your methods are too poisonous. He actually wanted to kill our sisters---- but people are not as good as heaven. You're too much of a breather, if you don't have to recuperate in bed for a while. I'm afraid I've already been plotted by you.

But she reminded me that Brother Jiu really can't stay!

"Slave thanks to the master's great kindness!" He gave me a big salute. But he suddenly mentioned again: "Master, don't worry, the slave thinks that Brother Nine will not betray you." ”

"How can you see that?" Others may be dying, and their words are good, but what is Brother Jiu? The poisonous snake and jackal may not be ruthless, he will go against Nian Guifei in order to keep a secret for me?

"The minion guessed. Nian Guifei tossed there for a long time, and Brother Jiu never knew a word. He looked at me, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Jiu said, you don't have to waste your efforts, everyone in this world will have a person who can never betray the land......"

Someone who can never be betrayed?

My heart trembled slightly, is there anyone in this world that I can't sell?

The answer is about to come out, but I don't dare to think about it anymore---- Seventeenth Elder Brother, the only one in the world who can make me willing to keep a secret. Even at any cost. There are only seventeen elder brothers!

If I can protect Seventeen like this because I love him, then what is Brother Nine for?

Close your eyes. I don't want to know the answer, it's a secret, let it be a secret forever......

September of the fourth year of Yongzheng

Although I had seen the tragic appearance of the eldest brother earlier, I had been mentally prepared, but when I saw the eighth elder brother, it was still inevitable that I was bitter.

I've always had no feelings for him, but I also know a little bit about his difficulties from Brother Jiu's mouth. Although it is normal to succeed in the past and the present, the end of the hero is the scene where all ambitious people will cry sadly when they see it.

"Eighth Elder Brother!" Whispered.

"Qiyun, you're finally here!" sighed: "It turns out that the ninth brother told me that you are not as simple as it seems, and I don't believe it, but now it seems that I don't want to believe it." ”

Did you know I was coming?

Do you know that I am here to take your life?

I squatted down in front of him, took out a comb, and combed his hair that had already been loosened for him: "So I don't like to deal with smart people, Brother Seventeen is, you too, they are too smart---- too smart people will know more than ordinary people, and knowing more than ordinary people will be more painful than ordinary people." ”

How nice it would be if you were a fool! He can still lie to himself that my lies back then were true, and he lied to himself that I loved him, so I kept thinking that even if I died ignorantly, I would be happy at that time---- and now I know that it is a kind of happiness to be able to die in vain!

"Are you blaming me for being too smart?"

"No, I'm blaming myself for being too smart." Turning my head, the last thing I can face now is his eyes: "Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu is probably already waiting for you on the road now......" I'm also too smart, I actually showed his mind when I was about to attack him, it shouldn't be like this, so people like us are destined to suffer.

"The ninth brother won't tell you about it at all, why can't you let him go?"

"Because I promised Tiantian to send him down to accompany her!" Excuses, it's all borrowed

Because I am a selfish ghost, he doesn't want to say it, he will be tortured endlessly, Nian Guifei is angry like me, she will not give up---- she will not give up, I don't want to see him suffer, and I am afraid, I am a kind person, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive after all......

"What did the ninth brother say in the end?" He is also a person with little affection, and the so-called feelings are indeed too weak in the face of politics, so he doesn't want to blame me---- spurning me is equivalent to spitting on himself.

"He said he wanted me to let you go."

After saying this, even I admired my own cheekiness---- after I sent someone to kill a man who had been tortured to keep my secret, I couldn't even make his last request, and I was still ashamed to say it here.

Years of open and secret strife have corroded my conscience to such an extent. It's not easy!

Fortunately, at this time, the eighth elder brother did not spit out anything that could make me ashamed to be ashamed. I have the impression that he is always so indifferent, as long as others don't want him to say something, he won't do anything---- such an understanding man! But it is still entrusted to a non-human......

Hey, now I also feel like I'm "inhuman" on a level.

The ninth elder brother is dead, originally I wanted to kill the eighth elder brother and finally had some reason---- I was afraid that Nian Guifei would use the eighth elder brother to threaten the ninth elder brother. But now I don't even have that reason.

I'm going to kill him. It's just that for the large amount of financial and manpower in his hand, I want to take it before Yongzheng---- I have to swallow the eighth elder brother and their party for more than 20 years. Only then can I have the strength to win the Nian family, and I can really compete with Emperor Yongzheng.

The last time I was a concubine, I accidentally leaked too much strength. Yongzheng didn't say it on the surface, who knows if he also wanted to comfort me like appeasing Nian Guifei? I don't have time, what if he turns his face against me after dealing with Nian Qianyao?

The heart sails the ship of ten thousand years, no matter whether this will happen or not, the right is always best to grasp it in your own hands!

Ho is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty. Eighth Brother, because of the forces behind you, you must die!

"I'm good at home."

"......" didn't want to lie to him, but I didn't want to lie either.

"Yaohua, what's wrong with her?" He could still see something in my expression.

"......" closed his eyes, I couldn't bear to look at the pain in his eyes---- could it be that he only waited until it was like this today, and he really understood who cared about him the most?

"I didn't do it." I don't know why I want to explain it like this, I am stigmatized, and naturally I don't care about adding a little more sin to myself. But I must explain this matter---- if the matter is done by me, how much guilt the eighth elder brother will feel in his heart. He would feel that it was his affection for me that killed the person he loved the most. It would make him worse than death!

"I know." Eighth Elder Brother smiled slightly: "I know I'm not worth it for you to do that, is it your sister?" ”

...... "I don't want to say what my sister is right or wrong. Besides, she was originally qualified to find Bafujin to settle the accounts of the year. Regardless of whether the starting point of Beatitude was for love or what, she did a lot of evil.

"Qiyun, after I die, please bury me with Yaohua......"

"Good ......"

Tears fell, Eighth Elder Brother, I really don't want to deceive you before you die, but even if I am ruthless, I really can't say anything---- Bafujin has been crushed by his sister, there is no corpse, there is nothing, your last wish is just a fantasy......

"Qiyun, tell me honestly, you were true to me back then?"

Eighth Brother, even now, is it really worth your dedication back then?

"Yes!" I've always lied to you, so let me lie to you one last time. At least this deception, my conscience no longer needs to be disturbed......

"Thank you, Ken was lying to me one last time......"

What a smart man!

It's going to be too pathetic......

"You're so stupid...... "Why do you still ask when you know that I will lie to you, when you know that I always lie to you, when you know that there is no truth between you and me?"

"Qiyun, you once said that the biggest mistake I made in my life was to be too smart and beautiful in everything, and you said that the most failed thing I did was not trying to do a stupid thing in the past." A faint smile, a light and calm smile seemed to bring me back to sixteen years ago

That year, he was dressed in white and graceful. I knew he would be my savior, and I tried my best to hold him firmly in the palm of my hand......

"How's it going, are you alright?" He looked at me, his face like a full moon, his eyes like autumn stars, and a smile on his lips.

I pretended to be a girl with a spring and looked at him with extremely innocent eyes......

"Girl, girl......" he cried out a little anxiously, thinking that something had happened to me.

I pretended to come back to my senses, and looked back shyly, "Ah...... What", and then shyly covered his face, "No...... I didn't ...... It's okay. Frustrated, he struggled to get out of his arms. Now even if he is sluggish, he knows what is going on with me. "It's okay." He chuckled, "Don't move, there's danger down there." ”

It turns out that I am his scourge......

"I'm telling you now, I've actually done a stupid thing, it's stupid, it's stupid......" Looking at me, he suddenly burst out laughing, he has always been elegant and calm, I never knew that he could look so good when he laughed: "It turns out that the feeling of doing stupid things can be so good......"
