Long Keduo was dumbfounded, but the tenth elder brother applauded and laughed on the side: "The ninth brother is really strong, look at how this beast is still fluttering." Look, I got two cuts on my hand. ”

Yin Yu threw the dead Hai Dongqing on the ground, glanced at Long Keduo with disdain, clapped his hands and said: "If you hurt the emperor's heir, even people have to cut off their heads, not to mention a beast, don't be unhappy in your heart, go back and reward you with a pair, what kind of thing are you, the really mighty Hai Dongqing, it's my turn to do it?" Shun Anyan will tease you. ”

Long Keduo clearly knew that they didn't come to Chonghai Dongqing, he had always been on an errand for the fourth master, and he had a lot of conflicts with the people of the ninth master when he was on errands.

And what Long Keduo didn't know, there was also the soldiers and horses that he lent to Alinga that year, and Alinga lent it to the thirteenth elder brother, and the assassins he killed at that time were all from the ninth elder brother, and he sold his personal affection and used his fingers to dial hundreds of people, but it ruined how big the ninth elder brother was.

Afterwards, Long Keduo didn't ask who the thirteenth elder brother led the troops to kill, he just didn't want to be involved anymore, he was confused, but Yinyu knew, he knew that it was the people of Jiumen who ruined his good deeds, that is, the soldiers sent by Long Keduo. I gritted my teeth when I thought about it, now I just strangle him with an eagle, and I want to strangle him.

"I still have to drink and talk with the ninth master, you can kneel down." Brother Ten grabbed a piece of beef sauce from the plate and threw it on Hai Dongqing's mouth, but it didn't move, causing him to laugh, "It's really useless." ”

Long Keduo went to pick up the Hai Dongqing, and after saluting the two masters, he bowed and withdrew from the private room. When he walked down the stairs, the shopkeeper greeted him, and when he saw Hai Dongqing, who was still bluffing people just now, hanging softly on Long Keduo's hand, he couldn't help asking, "Master Tong, what's wrong?" ”

Long Keduo handed it to him, frightened the shopkeeper back, he sneered: "Do you want to take it to stew soup and honor the first two masters?" Saying this casually, suddenly a thrill flashed in his heart, his eyes showed a cunning coldness, he snorted upwards, carried the dead Hai Dongqing, and swaggered away.

The next day, the old man over 65 years old who was invited to share the feast with the emperor, a total of 1,000 people in Manchu, Mongolia and Han, it is a veritable banquet of Qiansuo, the banquet is placed outside from the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the momentum is huge, more than the birthday of the Queen Mother that year. All the things here are in the hands of the princes, Lan Qi didn't interfere at all, only discussed the dishes with the people in the imperial dining room, and didn't know anything else, and didn't want to go to the front to join in the excitement on this day, so she only talked to Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace.

But it was the emperor who came to invite them, and Concubine Yi staggered over, and said: "If you don't go, it's not good for me to go, it seems that I like to join in the fun, the emperor has come to invite, hurry up and go together." The concubine is younger than us, and she is changing her clothes and preparing to toast the emperor in front. They said that it was the Lord Banzai who celebrated his 70th birthday in advance. ”

A sentence to celebrate the seventieth birthday in advance, so that Concubine Rong listened to it more than that, and reproached: "What should you do in advance, which word came out of this, and the emperor was not angry?" ”

Concubine Yi didn't know, spread her hands and said: "You all know if you go, even if you just take a look, the people in Wuyang, you can't see the edge of the wine table in a row." ”

Although Lan Qi was wearing regular clothes, she was already dressed festively in the first month, and she didn't want to change it, she didn't want to sit in front of people, and said: "I'll just show up with you, let's sit in the warm pavilion, how good it is to bring in delicious food, there are a thousand people outside, I don't want them to look up and down." ”

Concubine Yi snorted: "It's all an old woman, do you still care about this?" ”

When Concubine Rong changed her clothes and went to Zhongcui Palace to call Concubine Cheng, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong shared a sedan chair, swayed forward, and waited until the concubine and concubine after the Qianqing Palace, and then arrived in front of the palace together. Sure enough, as soon as several ladies arrived, the people present got up one after another, and more than a thousand people stood up in unison, startling Concubine Yi, and said to the emperor with a smile: "If this is a thousand young and beautiful girls, it will be interesting." ”

Xuan Ye was not annoyed, but said: "If you can be dozens of years younger, I will do it once, and you will also sit inside." ”

Jokes aside, Concubine Tong didn't want to be dazzling here, the sisters retreated to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, set up a few tables, and moved in with the same wine and food on the table in front of them, but Concubine Yi said: "We don't lack a bite to eat, go get a few decks of cards, we want to play." She glanced at the noble concubine and Lan Qi and said, "Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day have not been together, we are stuffy in the palace, today let the mother and sister play a few decks of cards with us, it is not too much." ”

Lan Qi was very generous, and called his own person and said, "I didn't bring any money, hurry back and get it." ”

Concubine Yi saw that Lan Qi was willing to accompany her, but she was a little surprised, thinking about her age, her sons are unreliable, it is better for the old sisters to make do, talk and laugh and play the cards, it is rare to have a harmony. But just after touching two decks of cards, the people of Yonghe Palace just sent a few pieces of money, and the head of Liang came in person, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and approached a few people, and said: "Concubine De Niangniang, long live the lord, please go to the front." ”

I heard that the emperor's name is only Lan Qi, Concubine Yi was quite happy just now, her face changed suddenly, she threw out the card she wanted to play, and sneered: "The concubine is here, why doesn't the emperor look for the concubine?" ”

Concubine Tong looked at the cards in her hand and said casually: "You go, I won't make up my mind anyway and persuade the emperor to drink a few drinks." ”

Lan Qi bowed and signaled, went to the door to put on a big coat for her, and walked out slowly, after leaving the warm pavilion a little far, Manager Liang leaned next to Lan Qi and said: "The emperor invited Niangniang to come over, it is the elders of the Sifu Jin and Nian side Fu Jin families who want to toast you, and Niang Niang just has to be perfunctory." The important thing is ......" he looked left and right, and said softly, "After a while, the elder brothers will take turns to give gifts, and when you get to the eighth elder brother, no matter what happens to the emperor, don't panic, long live the lord understands in his heart, he is afraid that he will pretend that something will happen, but he will frighten you, so he specially asked the slave to come and explain it to you first." ”

"What's the matter?" Lan Qi listened uneasy.

"The gifts of the elder brothers are all sent in advance, and it will be time for the elder brothers to give gifts in a while, and the servants will go over to do it first. Unexpectedly, a few little eunuchs who were guarding cried and said to the servants that they accidentally knocked over the gift given by the eighth elder brother, and a dead eagle fell out of it. Manager Liang's face was very bad, and his breath trembled and said, "The slave went to take a look, it's really true." Just returned to the Long Live Lord, of course the emperor was angry, and after being bored for a long time, he said that he would let the brothers give gifts as usual, but let the servants invite you out, and I don't care about anything else, I am afraid that something will happen to the emperor in a while, and you will be frightened. ”

Lan Qi was confused, but she understood one thing, if something happened to Xuan Ye, it was not true, she should not be afraid, but she always felt uneasy. When she got to the front, a few people came to toast, she smiled and dealt with a few words, Hongli Hongli ran over to shake her, and she simply stayed.

Not long after, the third elder brother stepped forward and said that their brothers had prepared birthday gifts for their father, Xuan Ye nodded and said to present it, Lan Qi's heart trembled, and he sent his grandchildren: "Hongli, you take Hongday to the warm pavilion and say hello to the concubine and a few mothers." ”

The two children went to the back, and the boxes containing birthday gifts were brought up one after another, the emperor was rich in the world, and Xuan Ye had seen countless rare treasures, and every time he received gifts from his sons, he saw it with his heart, and he tortured the princes very painfully every time.

The first one to be sent was a big stone sent by the fourteenth elder brother all the way, saying that it was for the emperor to look at it, and then he wanted to take it back to make a boundary monument, and asked his father to inscribe it for him, so that he could engrave it.

Xuan Ye pointed at Lan Qi and smiled: "Look at your son, is it a congratulatory gift for me, or is it something for me to give him?" He didn't have to trouble transporting such a large stone around. ”

Everyone laughed, waiting to be presented with pen and ink, after the emperor wrote the inscription, the gifts of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were presented one after another, the fourth elder brother is handwritten calligraphy and painting every year, and he is not rich and has no heart, Xuan Ye has long been not looking forward to what he can send anything dazzling, the brothers go down one by one, it is the turn of the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother's gifts in front of them, Lan Qi's good mood suddenly disappeared, and he looked at the emperor uncomfortably, but Xuan Ye smiled happily: "Yinyu, what are you strange about this year?" He raised his hand and said, "Please ask Concubine Yi to take a look." ”

The eunuch immediately went to invite, and the eighth elder brother here bent his knees and said: "What the son sent to the emperor Ama is the Maitreya Buddha carved from agarwood, which is a rare old material, and the son asked a skilled craftsman to spend nine hundred and eighty-one days to carve it." ”

A little eunuch stepped forward to open the box, the eighth elder brother lowered his head and didn't look, only heard an exclamation around him, he thought that his gift was appreciated by everyone, but the voice suddenly panicked, and someone shouted: "Escort!" Escort! ”

Behind the main hall, Concubine Yi was running triumphantly to watch Yinyu's gift with the emperor, when there was a sudden chaos in front, and a large number of guards rushed over, so frightened that Concubine Yi grabbed Taohong's hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Before he could get any closer, more than a dozen eunuchs came to open the way and let her lean on the side of the road, Concubine Yi looked around, and Taohong suddenly exclaimed: "Master, look, Long live Lord has been carried out." ”

Concubine Yi looked at the place where Tao Hong pointed and was shocked to see the emperor being carried out unconscious, and she thought in horror that the emperor was ...... His heart twitched, his eyes turned black, and he fell down with a bang.

The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother went to appease the old people and prevent the matter from spreading, and the people who had just seen it in the hall were also ordered not to spread the word, and naturally they could be in front of the emperor, all of whom were highly respected ministers, and they were also waiting, afraid that the emperor would carry it in one breath and never wake up again.

There were a few guards around the eighth elder brother in the corner, and they did not restrain him, but the eighth elder brother was stunned.
