February 29 of the third year of Kangxi

I stood outside the study, wondering if I should rush in, there were very few things that could make me hesitate in my capacity now, but the recent rain was coming, and I had to be careful to deal with it.

Five days ago, Emperor Yongzheng suddenly became angry in the court, and accused Prince Lian Yunci of "harboring selfish intentions, sowing in trouble, hoping to shake the will of the people, disturb my mind, and obstruct my political affairs." Words: "Allow worship to those who are not capable of talent and wisdom, and act with intention or this, I don't know what it means." ”

In fact, it is just a trivial matter of recruiting people for the sake of repairing the imperial mausoleum, and everyone knows that there is no reason to be angry about this little thing. Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a message, and the emperor has gathered enough strength to prepare to take action against Prince Lian and them. Emperor Yongzheng's anger is just to set an example for those wall grasses---- if you want to please the emperor, then just put the Eight Masters Party to death.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the government and the opposition, and everyone was in danger, lest they were on the wrong side. And now, what is it that has brought me here in this eventful time? Qiyun, aren't you coming in? Isn't it sore to stand outside the door with sore legs? "There was Yin's usual sarcastic tone from inside the door, and I felt that he was in a good mood, and I guess it was nothing big to come to me this time. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly push the door in.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the fragrance of ink in the room, obviously this emperor, who was working hard like me, did not pay attention to official documents today, but practiced calligraphy, I was surprised that he would be in a good mood to do such a thing at this time---- is it the so-called calm before the storm?

"The emperor is so Yaxing." I remember that the fourth elder brother used to write a good hand.

"It's all deserted." Putting the pen down, he beckoned to me, "Come and see if I write these words well?" ”

"I don't know this, it's not that you don't know my calligraphy. Then draw a talisman with a ghost----" I was about to say a modest word and flatter him a few words, so as to dispel his anger at the last time he fell into disrepair in the imperial mausoleum, and I erased the seventeenth elder brother from the person responsible. As a result, when I saw the words he had just written, almost all of my blood was used in my brain.

"The tomb of the tyrannical and greedy Alinga." My face makes Diyin feel particularly good today---- just two years after he ascended the throne, due to the containment of the eighth elder brother. In the court, he almost couldn't do anything about me. Now that he can finally discipline me a little, of course he's in a good mood. "Qiyun. What do you think of my writing? I've heard that your Amma's tombstone hasn't been repaired for a long time, and I'm going to erect a new tombstone for him. Do you think this inscription is well written? ”

The tomb of the tyrannical and greedy Alinga......

Who doesn't know Niu Co Lu. Alinga, even though I've only met him a few times, but he's my honorary Amma, and if he's not a subordinate or a brother, then what am I?

"It's hard for Your Majesty to think about it." Inhale and inhale again, until you don't know the true purpose of Yin. I can't mess with myself: "Dare to ask Your Majesty when he plans to repair the tomb for my Amma, so that Qiyun can prepare early." ”

"The sooner the better." Fold the words and hand them to me: "How many times have I persuaded you to practice calligraphy, but you just didn't listen, this is for you, go back to practice more." ”

"......" Since he ascended the throne, whether it is out of sincerity or out of solicitation, I have also received a lot of gifts from him, but this time the strangest thing is ---- ask me to write the words "no subordinate and no brother is violent and greedy Ah Ling". This is undoubtedly an insult to me.

It doesn't matter what my relationship with Allinga is. After all, it is clearly written on my jade plate, I am Niu Colu. Alinga's daughter-in-law, Niu Colu. Qiyun.

I, Amma, am not subordinate or brother, violent and greedy. Then I still have the face to stand above the court? Are you still qualified to be the concubine of King Guo?

"Is the emperor trying to force Qiyun to death?" The notebook was crumpled in my hand: "Or is the emperor dissatisfied with me, and wants to punish me by punishing a dead man?" ”

"I don't want to punish you, you know it yourself." Seeing that I had ruined the masterpiece he had been practicing all morning, he had an urge to snatch the notebook back and throw it in my face, but he finally held back: "No matter how many things you hold in your hands, after all, I am the king, you are the minister, if you really take out the things that you have deceived and concealed, no matter which one will not make you feel better than now." ”

Yes, you are the king, the Ninety-Five, even if you shout now, I can't resist if you drag me out and beat the board. But I am also a human being, and I also have dignity, you actually want me to take this calligraphy to copy, how can you embarrass me?

"The worst of them is death. My Ama was accused of being disloyal and unfilial, and all of them were capital crimes of raiding my family and exterminating my family, and this thing was engraved on my Ama land's tombstone, can I still live? ”

"I won't kill you." Yongzheng suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth---- there are many people who smile very well, and there are many people who laugh ugly, but he is a special case, obviously he can smile beautifully, but it makes people cold: "But I remind you that this I have been summoned, and someone will not be able to tolerate you." ”

"Who?" As long as Yongzheng doesn't want to deal with me now, who else can touch me?

The eighth elder brother himself is difficult to protect and I have already reached an agreement with him, Nian Qianyao is too far away to reach, and the others are afraid that I will trouble them, and they will not have the strength to compete with me, unless......

"You're talking nonsense, it won't." I don't believe it, he's stirring up, and I know he's going to stir up a relationship between us sooner or later.

But there is another voice in my heart that tells me again, he doesn't, although the fourth elder brother is a little narrow-minded, but he is not a gentleman, yes, he really wants to get me, but if you want to use despicable methods, you can use the identity of the emperor to coerce me at the beginning of the throne.

"You say I'm talking nonsense, which means you thought of it yourself. It's just that you don't want to face it. Hands clenched into fists, my self-deception made him angry: "The seventeenth brother has grown up and has a city, he is no longer the seventeenth brother of the year, how can he be stupid enough to be implicated by a woman?" ”

"Shut up!" Pushing him away violently, I didn't allow anyone to say bad things about Seventeenth Elder Brother: "He's not such a person, he won't dislike me for anything I become!" "No, he thought I was just a little palace maid, didn't he also hold an umbrella for me all the way to protect me? Above the court, there is only interests, no feelings, his feelings for me are my only salvation, I will not believe that he will abandon me one day......

"Including the sinners of the rebels?" Yin was noncommittal to my insistence: "Well, even if he doesn't care!" What about the people around him? What about his concubine? Will they be afraid that your identity will affect the future of the Seventeenth Elder Brother, and will they compete to dispose of you quickly? ”

I sat down paralyzed, and the last time Seventeen almost died in my arms, because last time we could finally let go of our old suspicions, no matter how much we fought in the court in private, we didn't bring them into the house, why didn't we even leave the last bit of warmth to me? "Why are you pushing me like this?"

All right! I am 100% sure that Brother Seventeen will not be the one who flies separately when disaster strikes, and he will not abandon me. But so what, his wife is the daughter of a criminal minister, what future can he have in politics? With this excuse alone, Yongzheng can trap him--- but Yongzheng has always been jealous of him, and I know that he must be very happy.

"Why are you so defended by him?" Lifting my chin, I clearly saw a flash of pain in his eyes: "He hurt you, he fought against you everywhere, have you forgotten how Song Qingyun died?" You can forget, you can cover up for him as if nothing happened, but I can't, I will always remember the wound on your face that day......"

Misunderstanding, that's your pure machismo misunderstanding!

But I know that he can't listen to me no matter how much I explain it now, and I shouldn't blame him, I framed him in the first place to provoke him. I also know that with his mean personality, he has always been very kind to me, and we are constantly avoiding confrontation with each other, but the conflict is still irreconcilable.

"He's my husband, and I'm wrong with you......" I hope to ease his hostility towards Seventeen, but the last time Seventeen's incident stimulated, maybe it was our glue paint that made the thorn in his heart deeper.

Impatiently prepared my words: "Do you know what I hate most about Brother Seventeen? He is your husband---- he can rightfully have you without giving anything, and you will forgive him unconditionally. You obviously like me, but I have been waiting for you for so many years, but just because he begged Huang Ama back then, he wiped out all of us! ”

No, he has done a lot, although you have also done a lot for me, but no one can compare to the seventeenth elder brother's dedication to me---- because of me, his leg will still hurt when it encounters rainy days; Because of me, he can grit his teeth and lead the horse all the way from the capital to Chengde; In order to save me, he did not hesitate to kneel down for Chenxi, and he did not hesitate to send me out even if he was beaten by Kangxi with forty court rods; In order to dispel my desire to die, he could choose death so decisively......

"He's already my husband, and that doesn't change anymore." No one can change, and if anyone wants to change, I will fight with whomever I want.

"He is the daughter of a sinner. Qiyun's husband, and the daughter of a sinner, deserves to die for her father's forgiveness. Seeing that my eyes containing anger were getting wider and wider, Yin finally turned his face unbearably and continued: "Of course, he can resist the decree and disrespect, but you should know how big the sin of resisting the decree is. ”

"You actually ...... "forced the seventeenth elder brother to kill me with his own hands, you are so ruthless!"

"He has to, I have already asked the queen to stay for the concubine dinner, he knows the consequences!" Yongzheng bent down and wiped the tears from my eyes with Juanpa: "I'm not forcing him, I know that he still won't, and I won't even let you know that I gave him this finger." I'm letting you choose, and letting you choose is with a button. Qiyun's identity watched the seventeenth elder brother resist the decree and die, or ......"

hugged me gently: "Live as Miss Chen Er, be my Qiyun, be my Qiyun, be my Qiyun alone...... "Only death can cut off my last relationship with Brother Seventeen......

It turns out that in the eyes of Yongzheng in front of me, the current Niu Colu. Qiyun has long been a dead man, a dead man who has to die......
