"E-niang." The thirteenth elder brother was frightened, and called Lan Qi softly, she came back to her senses, patted the child lying beside her, coaxed him a few times, and then called the nurse to take the thirteenth elder brother away.

Huan Chun had already stood up from the ground, weakly supporting the chair on the side, Lan Qi said angrily: "You used to beat Xiangyue Yukui and them, and you had strength in your hands, but today you are tired like this?" I don't think you even hit it hard. ”

"If the master is really not distressed, why do you shed tears?" Huan Chun lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes, "The slave and maid's hands are soft, and the fourth elder brother is such a good child, and it's not a big mistake, why do you want to beat it?" ”

"If you are like this, sooner or later, thirteen or fourteen will be spoiled." Lan Qi said hard words, but her expression was not strong, but she begged Huanchun to put her flat, so that if she leaned on her for a while, her waist would be unbearable.

Huan Chun came up to serve, Lan Qi saw that her palms were red, and she slightly rubbed off a layer of skin, and blurted out: "Grinding so hard, did you hit him with a dead hand?" ”

"Are you finally distressed?" Huan Chun laughed instead, and after carefully flattening the master, he touched his hand and said, "The slave doesn't remember either, I was reluctant to work hard at first, but you scolded a few words before you used a little force, but when you saw the fourth elder brother trembling, you really couldn't be ruthless, but you hit more than a dozen times, and no matter how light it is, it's useless." ”

"He deserves it." Having said that, the mother's eyes are full of distress.

Huanchun was puzzled: "Why does Niangniang have to fight the fourth elder brother?" There's nothing wrong with that. ”

She sighed and said: "No one will believe such a reason as fishing, I beat him and lied, but he still refused to say it after beating him like this, I knew that I couldn't ask again." Besides, I told him not to get involved with the prince, but he made such a fuss, I didn't really let him have anything to do with the prince, they are brothers after all, but other people don't think so, I beat him to show others, so as not to splash dirty water on his back."

Lan Qi stretched out his hand again and pulled Huanchun and said: "Yinzhen won't hold a grudge against you, I'll tell him well when I turn around, if I can't get up today, I will definitely beat him myself, fortunately it's you, I still feel less guilty." Hit the son's body and hurt in the mother's heart, where can I give it. ”

Huanchun gasped and said: "The slave's hand is still shaking, how did you feel relieved of your hatred when you beat Xiangyue in the past, just now you beat the fourth elder brother, and your soul is gone." ”

Just as Xiangyue and Yukui came in with medicine, Xiangyue smiled and said to Lan Qi: "Sister, she used to beat me, and she beat me to death." ”

Yukui pushed her away and said: "Master, the prince has a fever, and the fever is very bad, and the emperor asked him to take care of the queen mother in Ningchun Hall, and our fourth elder brother can't be negligent, maybe it hasn't been sent out yet." You don't want to be punished anymore, just wait until you're well. ”

Lan Qi was worried about the prince, and sighed again: "When the little brothers grow up, you are not allowed to do this, and I will still discipline them in the future." ”

Several people agreed, served to wash and take medicine, Huanchun also went to clean up because of crying, and listened to a few little eunuchs outside the door: "Father-in-law Liang doesn't know where to go, it is his apprentice who follows the long-lived master today, will it be for the prince's business, Father-in-law Liang asked the emperor to cut it?" ”

Huanchun was also a little curious, so she simply sent someone to inquire, and sure enough, she couldn't find Liang's father-in-law in the garden, she turned around and said to her master, Lan Qi said, "Did you go back to the palace?" ”

And at this moment, in the Forbidden City Changchun Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs are also recruiting, early in the morning, Yan Zhu said that he went to the worship room and did not come back, and the things in front of the master were also Zhang Luo, Concubine Hui has been used to Yanzhu recently, so she naturally cares where she went, and the people below can't ask why, so they can only send someone to find it.

But after looking in the palace all morning, no one in the respectful room had seen her go, and there was not even anyone in the palace who had seen her, Concubine Hui gradually became a little uneasy, wondering if she was found by Mingzhu, how could she have thought that last night, Manager Liang returned to the palace overnight, and sent someone to guard outside the Changchun Palace early in the morning, and told that no matter what time of day, no matter whether there was anyone on the side, she would catch Yanzhu when she saw it, so coincidentally, she didn't know what she was running out to do early in the morning, and she almost rushed to call someone to arrest her.

There is a secret room in the Shen Criminal Division, which is the "Yin Cao Difu" that not many people in the palace know, Liang Gonggong was brought here by the master to tell him that the palace is a place where the sun does not see the light of day, and he was so scared that his legs were weak and he almost crawled out of the house, but year after year, he also learned to be ruthless, and he sat on the side and drank tea, leisurely.

Yan Zhu was tied to the shelf, her body had been whipped several times, she had fainted twice and was woken up by cold water, and now she was dying, and several handfuls of iron on the stove on the side were scarlet, as if she would be used to roast her skin and flesh at any time, and the last little insistence was about to collapse and collapse.

But seeing Liang's father-in-law coming over with a teapot, he sighed: "Yanzhu, we are about the same age, you are better than me, a thoughtful person, you can't do anything in the future, even if you let it out now, it is not difficult to get married and have children, I can give you a bright road to go, but if you refuse to go, I can't do it." ”

Yan Zhu gasped roughly, people will instinctively want to save themselves in a desperate situation, just after being caught and whipped a few times, she thought to herself that she would let her go if she didn't know anything, but obviously that didn't work, she was determined to know something, and now what awaits her is a more vicious punishment.

An obscene-looking eunuch on the side wrapped a handful of iron soldering in a thick cloth and put it in the bucket, the smoke of charming eyes steamed in the sizzling sound, Yan Zhu screamed in horror, and everyone laughed hideously, a eunuch came up and slapped her and said, "What did Chief Liang ask you, have you thought clearly?" If you don't answer, you will burn the meat underneath you, and we will not be able to see you if we have no roots. ”

Saying that, she pinched her lower body hard, Yan Zhu rolled her eyes in fright, but she was quickly pinched and asked, "Do you want to say it?" ”

Yan Zhu cried miserably: "I said...... Manager Liang, let me live ......"

An hour later, Liang Gonggong walked out of the "underworld", there was no blood and no crying and howling in the world outside, he also took off his vicious mask, and breathed a long sigh of relief, the matter was clarified, and he was finally able to give the emperor an explanation. A eunuch came out from behind him, politely handed over the hat of Chief Manager Liang, and whispered: "The chief manager has worked hard, so I have to go back to Changchun Garden on an errand?" Otherwise, you are so small that you will prepare good wine and good food to honor you, and you will run around in the dust, and you will not take a sip of good tea. ”

Liang Gonggong was a little disgusted and disgusting, sure enough, he was a person who had been mixed in the Shen Criminal Division for many years, and he was insensitive to shouting and killing, at least after she watched Yan Zhu swallow her breath, she didn't want to touch the meat for ten days and half a month.

The eunuch of the Punishment Division asked again: "Chief Administrator, what should I do with the body of the palace maid?" ”

Father-in-law Liang straightened the hat on his head, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and said slowly: "Take the ice and freeze it first, and wait for me to send you a message from Changchun Garden, whether to throw it to the mass grave or find another place, wait for me." ”

Leaving this sentence, Gonggong Liang left in a hurry, and hurried back to Changchun Garden before dark, the emperor must be in a hurry, if he has to deal with a palace maid, it will take him a few days of effort, then this bite of rice will continue to eat.

When he returned to Changchun Garden, he didn't care about the prince's fever and the fourth elder brother's beating, and went straight to the Qingxi Study, so it was unfortunate that Lord Mingzhu replied in the study, he was a little weak-hearted, and hid on the side, and waited for Mingzhu to leave before coming to the emperor, Xuan Ye really asked: "Collided with Mingzhu?" ”

Liang Gonggong said that he avoided it, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly said: "Long live Lord, the slave prying it out of Yan Zhu's mouth, this time there was a wolf in the garden, it was indeed done by Lord Mingzhu, Concubine Hui didn't know about it, but Lord Mingzhu asked Concubine Hui Niangniang to tell the eldest brother, don't be in the limelight in front of you, thinking that the two things are compatible, they are afraid that the eldest brother will come to the rescue." The slave asked Yan Zhu, the wolf was obviously raised by the prince's uncle and grandfather, how could he let Lord Mingzhu find someone to bring into the garden, Yan Zhu said that she didn't know, and the slave couldn't ask anything if he was tortured, but he said that Lord Mingzhu had brought a message to the palace, and indeed told Concubine Hui that this time it was an adult's idea, so that Concubine Hui Niangniang must tell the eldest brother that he can't be strong anymore, don't take his life. One more thing......"

Gonggong Liang paused, and seeing that the emperor was impatient, he hurriedly said: "Yan Zhu said that Lord Mingzhu and Concubine Hui are thinking about it, and they want to let the eldest brother go to the battlefield as soon as possible to make contributions. ”

Xuan Ye sneered: "If you do this more, I have such a plan." "I don't know why, I was sure that Mingzhu did it, Xuan Ye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, unexpectedly not angry, as if he had thought so, and more importantly, the eldest brother didn't lie to him, that kid really didn't know that there was such a thing, and the prince ...... When I think of the prince, I can't help but worry.

But he won't decide that this matter has nothing to do with Suo Etu based on Yan Zhu's few words, the two old foxes compete, knowing themselves and knowing each other, just as he can put eyeliner in any corner, Suo Etu and Mingzhu will do the same, who the person who raised the wolf is, it is not known now, but how could Suo Etu not see such a thing, it may not be that he deliberately pushed the boat down the river to make a mistake, anyway, it is an obstacle for them, no matter how big or small, it is good to clear it.

What reassured Xuan Ye was that this time the children were innocent, and no one lied to him.

Thinking about it this way, the matter between the prince and the fourth elder brother hung in the air last night, and someone had already come to tell him, saying that the prince's fever had subsided and his condition was stable, but the fourth elder brother was beaten not lightly, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get out of bed in three or two days, and he would be temporarily raised in Ruijingxuan.

Xuan Ye instructed Liang Gonggong at this moment: "Send someone to Ruijingxuan and send the fourth elder brother back to Taoyuan Library." ”

The injuries on Yinzhen's body are all on the buttocks, and he can't sit and study until the swelling goes down, but his father sent someone to send a message to him to go back to Taoyuan Book House immediately, only give one day off, lie down for a day tomorrow, and resume schoolwork the day after tomorrow. The fourth elder brother didn't know how to go to see E-Niang at that time, and he felt that it was much easier than begging for mercy with E-niang, and it was much easier to go back to be "shh

Not long after the fourth elder brother was carried away, it was rumored that the holy car was coming, Huanchun hurriedly came in to pack up and prepare to take over, Lan Qi hadn't seen Xuan Ye for several days, and asked them to comb their hair and smear a thin layer of fat powder on their faces, not wanting him to see his embarrassment.

As soon as Xuan Ye entered the door, he saw that Lan Qi was still lying down, but he said, "Are you afraid of pain so you don't dare to move, in fact, you have already recovered?" If you don't move, you can't move. ”

Lan Qi looked at him with a blink, and secretly felt that Xuan Ye didn't seem to be in a bad mood, so a smile appeared on his face, and he was relieved.
