Mrs. Tong couldn't help muttering: "The credit of this Wu Sangui is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Tong Tulai and his son glanced at each other, and after his wife retreated, Tong Tulai said: "Wu Sangui is not a good thing, you have to be careful in the future, the Queen Mother put his son under house arrest in Beijing, but in fact, there is no threat to him." He has so many sons that he doesn't care about one or two at all, but this is a warning from the court to him, telling him that the court is keeping an eye on him all the time. ”

"It's just that my son is still young, and he can't be trusted by the emperor and other ministers, otherwise it should be my son who fights this battle instead of you." Tong Guogang said guiltily, "Amma, next time, I must go." ”

After pondering, Tong Tulai coughed twice and persuaded his son: "At present, the imperial court is calling back and forth, all of them are fighting the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the Queen Mother has always advocated letting the Han people deal with the Han people, so you don't need to rush to pick up these errands." Rather than going outside to make a contribution, Amma hopes that you will not leave Gyeonggi until the situation of Yuan Xi and the third elder brother is stable. ”

Guogang's expression was solemn, and he clenched his fists and said: "Amma, there is something that my son has never told you. ”

Tong Tulai was nervous: "What's wrong, what happened to Yuan Xi?" ”

"No, no, you listen to me." Tong Guogang relayed what his sister said to him before to his father, and he said, "It seems that Yuan Xi has already thought about supporting the third elder brother to inherit the unification in the future." ”

"Blame your mother, what did you say to her in the past to support the Tong family......" Tong Tulai knocked his head with a headache.

"Didn't you think about it?" Tong Guogang said.

"This ......" Tong Tulai coughed a few times and said distressedly, "how can I not want to, but I don't want your sister to plunge into it and invest a lot of youth in these fashions." At her age, shouldn't she be loved by her husband and live happily? ”

"Amma, this is Xi'er's life, she chose it herself." Tong Guogang said, "Until now, we can only stand behind Yuan Xi. ”

Before the father and son finished speaking, Mrs. Tong came to her husband and said, "Eshuo sent someone to invite you, are you going?" You yourself are not in good health, and going will only increase your sorrow, so I'll wait for you to go. ”

Tong Tulai waved his hand: "When we first went to the battlefield, we told each other that whoever died on the battlefield would collect the body for whom. Even though it is peaceful and prosperous now, what has been said cannot be reversed. ”

In the deep palace, Fan Wencheng is rarely here now, Yu'er and he read some new poems and books, I didn't want to mention the government, but when she saw Fan Wencheng's white hair, she had to sigh: "You are all old." ”

"Yes." Fan Wencheng said, "The minister is already sixty years old. ”

"When I first met him, you were in your thirties, and you were in the prime of life." Yu'er smiled, "Now your sons are also serving the imperial court." “

Fan Wencheng said: "Queen Mother, do you have anything to say to the minister." ”

Yu'er bowed her head, closed the book and said, "This time I sent Wu Sangui to suppress the Yungui area, you honestly told me, is there no one in the imperial court?" ”

Fan Wencheng lowered his head, and Yu'er asked again: "The children of the clan are reluctant to go out to fight, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother ......" Fan Wencheng said, "Although it is not to the point of not being able to catch up, but it is indeed not optimistic, the emperor reuses Hanchen, causing resistance from the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and then there are people who can fight such as Eshuo Tong Tulai are also sick and old, the Queen Mother, not the minister wants to say anything good for the emperor in front of you, the emperor is not easy." ”

Yu'er was silent, and said for a long time: "In your opinion, is Fulin a good emperor?" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the emperor may be lacking in handling family affairs, but in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor is indeed a good emperor." ”

Yu'er shook her head: "Why do you want to say things to coax me, to coax people, do I still want you to say it?" ”

Fan Wencheng was speechless: "But ......"

Yu'er said: "I don't know how long I can live, but if I live, I must put the world first, and I can't let Dolgon die for the Qing Dynasty in vain." Even if I just live longer than Wu Sangui, otherwise Fu Lin will say in the future that it was Dolgon and I who recruited Wu Sangui and we were the trouble we found for him. ”

Fan Wencheng clenched his fists and said, "Queen Mother, you have to be calmer, do you already distrust the emperor at all?" ”

Yu'er was very calm: "You all think that I don't trust the emperor, but I, a mother, know him better than any of you." You are outside the palace, and you can't see what he's been doing these days, but I see it every day. ”

"Queen Mother, is it the imperial concubine...... Offended you? Fan Wencheng wondered if it was the bad relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that led to the discord between the emperor and the queen mother.

"When she comes to offend me, it's too late, don't blame a woman for everything." Yu'er said, "Fan Wencheng, you have to live well, I don't know what will happen to the Qing Dynasty in the future, but I was wrong once, and I won't be wrong a second time." ”

Fan Wencheng looked at Yu'er nervously: "Queen Mother......"

Yu'er opened the book again: "Let's continue to study, Fang Cai's words, just as if I didn't say anything." ”

Fan Wencheng's heart was pounding, he couldn't imagine what the Queen Mother planned to do, but he seemed to know it clearly.

This woman, at this age, has experienced so much, not only does she not seek comfort or leisure, but she also devotes herself to the country, and she completely delivers herself to this country.

"Queen Mother, the ministers must be the ones who will do their best." Fan Wencheng clenched his fists.

"I will be content to live a long life." Yu'er Yun smiled lightly, "Take care." ”

Two days later, Fulin also got the news that E Shuo was seriously ill, and he sent the imperial doctor, who actually replied that he might not survive the summer, and the emperor was restless.

At lunchtime, Fulin came to Chengqian Palace alone, and when he entered the door through the screen, he heard Tian Xiang persuade: "You just eat it, vomit it and then talk about it, and don't eat a bite and vomit bile, isn't it even more uncomfortable." ”

Fu Lin frowned, walked around, and saw that the person with a bulging lower abdomen was leaning on the cushion, his face was pale and his chin was pointed, there were so many pregnant women in the palace, he had never seen such a weak woman.

"The emperor is here?" Jia Yin got up, and was immediately pressed by Fu Lin, looking at her worriedly, "Vomited again today?" Isn't the morning okay? ”

Jia Yin said: "Don't get in the way, that day Qifujin came to see the concubines, saying that the side Fujin and the concubines in their house had given birth to so many children, and there were all kinds of them when they were pregnant. There are also people who refuse to eat anything, they just want to chew raw rice, and if the concubines want to eat raw rice, the emperor should be frightened. ”

"What else you can't think about?" Fu Lin said, "I'm most afraid that you won't be able to eat anything. ”

Jia Yin said: "Don't listen to Tianxiang's alarmism, the concubine eats well, otherwise how to raise the fetus in the womb." ”

Fu Lin gently stroked her cheek: "I made you suffer." ”

Jia Yin chattered: "There is something, the concubine is very worried in her heart, can the emperor ask for me?" ”

Fu Lin's heart tightened, but he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Yin said: "Originally, I said that as soon as the day of the ban passed, Ama and Eniang came to the palace to see me, but it was May, and I didn't see them coming. ”

"Wu Sangui is going to fight Yungui, and I will send you Ama to deliver grain and grass." "But don't worry, someone will pick him up halfway there, and he won't be asked to go that far." ”

Jia Yin happily said: "This is good, although the emperor is blessed with great grace and leaves Ama to enjoy happiness in the capital, but Ama can't stop in this life, the emperor let him go out for a walk, and his spirit is better." Thank you, Your Majesty, so that I can rest assured. ”

Fu Lin's heart skipped a beat, why did he casually tell such a lie, how could he turn around?

Jia Yin asked again: "Is the third elder brother good?" When will the third elder brother return to the palace? ”

Fu Lin lowered his eyes and said: "The imperial doctor said that the smallpox disease is seriously contagious, that is, people relax their isolation after they recover from the disease, but in fact, the person who has recovered from the disease still has a degree, and the scabs from his dander are likely to be infected again. So the Queen Mother decreed that Xuan Ye would not return to the palace for the time being. ”

"The third elder brother is so sticky to Yuanxi." Jia Yin said distressedly, "He must think about Eniang every day, how pitiful it would be if he cried." ”

"Someone will take good care of Xuan Ye, for now, you have to take care of your body." "Relax your heart." ”

Jia Yin said: "The more pregnant I am, the easier it is to miss my family, the emperor, please tell Ama for me, after returning to Beijing, please come into the palace to see me." ”

Fu Lin's fist clucked, trying to look calm, and he bowed his head in agreement, "I know." ”

Outside the Forbidden City, Tong Tulai finally took the time to take a look at the third elder brother today.

Xuan Ye was kept in a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the capital, and naturally there were guards on the third floor and the outer three floors, and then there were people from the Tong Mansion secretly protecting him, so Xuan Ye's safety did not have to worry.

But the child is very lonely, every day in the boxy courtyard, the nurse and the pomegranate, not even Xiaoquanzi, finally no longer have to study, but can not play, and most importantly, can not see the mother.

"The minister knocks to see the third elder brother......"

The villain watched his uncle and grandfather salute him, he glanced behind them a few times, ran to Tong Guogang's knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, where is Eniang?" ”

Tong Guogang picked up his nephew and coaxed: "Xuan Ye is good, E-niang will come to see you in a few days." ”

Seeing his eldest grandson recovering his health, Tong Tulai's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Third elder brother, is it okay to let grandpa hug him?" ”
