But just looking at the image, when Xiao Hezi re-lit the lantern and walked forward, there was no figure around, and the prince should have returned to Yuqing Palace at this hour, Yinzhen didn't think much about it, he was full of concern about Yuxi, who was at home with his heart, and took Xiao Hezi to the palace as usual.

In the fourth elder brother's mansion, now that Fujin is pregnant, the top and bottom are revolving around the main courtyard, but Qinglian suspects that there are many miscellaneous people, and still only use the people in the main courtyard, if Li Fang Fujin and Song Gege have food sent, they just accept it in person, and throw it away or reward the people below, Fujin's diet has a special person responsible for being meticulous and rigorous, in short, there is nothing more important than Fujin's safe birth.

At this moment, Yinzhen came back in a hurry, and came to see Yuxi before entering the door to change his clothes, but was disgusted by his wife: "Hurry up and change, I smell uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol." He went to wash and change clothes, and when he came back refreshingly, Yuxi had ordered someone to bring the sobering soup, and he poured it down in a few sips, just wanting to sit and talk to Yuxi.

"I've drunk a lot of alcohol tonight." Yuxi smiled, just said a simple word, happiness seemed to overflow from his eyes, and pretended to be serious, and said, "Huang Ama is not addicted to alcohol, you also learn some, although wine is a good thing, it hurts your body a lot." ”

Now Yinzhen has nothing to promise his wife in his eyes, and smiles innocently: "I listen to you." ”

Yuxi laughed at him: "You always look like this when you look at me these days, aren't you tired?" You are so stupid, don't let Huang Ama and Eniang see it. ”

Yin Zhen asked himself: "Why are you lying down all day long, didn't the imperial doctor say that the fetus is fine?" ”

Yuxi gently pushed him: "You won't understand it, I'll be fine, don't worry about it." As he spoke, his eyes were red, his eyes flashed with crystal things, and he smiled happily and said, "Actually, I still have a lingering heart until now, and I don't dare to believe that I already have our child in my body. Yinzhen, I can give birth to a child, right? ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm there for you." Yinzhen gently held his wife's hand and said, "E-Niang told you, if you don't want to go to the palace for entertainment, you don't have to enter the palace when the fetus is stable, E-Niang will take care of it for you." Besides, no one can take care of your own mother more considerately, E-Niang told me to take my mother-in-law to take care of you, do you think it's okay? ”

Yuxi shook his head: "Let's take it again in February and March next year, now I am very uneasy in the house for such a big battle for me, my sisters are pregnant and have children, and the faint situation in the mansion is even more like this." I know that you and E-Niang have the intention to elevate my status, but E-Niang is in the palace, you are busy in the court on weekdays, and I am the one who gets along with them. ”

Yin Zhen just smiled: "Listen to you, listen to you." ”

Yuxi was very happy, but in the happy smile, she quickly crossed the uneasy look, and her husband saw it in her eyes, and Yinzhen couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm thinking about it......" Yuxi looked at her husband deeply, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "These days, you go to Xiyuan, I told my sister that I agreed, and now that you leave her behind, she must feel uncomfortable." ”

"But I don't want to go."

"I've had a drink tonight, and I'm in the mood, isn't it? You treat her well, and we get along well, no matter what it is for, it should all be for the sake of fulfilling me. The tip of Yuxi's nose was also flushed, how could she be willing to push her husband on other women, but now that she is pregnant with a child, she knows the dignity of her heirs, Li Fangfujin is a legitimate wife and concubine, Yinzhen should be good to her, and it would be better if she could spread more branches for the fourth elder brother's mansion.

Seeing her husband's face tightened, Yuxi gently pushed his chest: "Go, you promised me a long time ago." ”

Although Yinzhen felt that he agreed at the beginning, just to appease the sadness of Yuxi's sonlessness, although he didn't hate the Li family, and he really didn't like it, but the matter between men and women was easier than he thought, and there would not be much of a problem if there was no emotion between the bed, otherwise where did Nian Tong come from, and because of Nian Tong, he knew that it was useless to say more considerate words to Yuxi, he had concubines, and he could be happy with them, and a word of dislike did not mean anything.

"Go ahead, be happy." Yuxi smiled softly, turned her face sideways, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm going to sleep, don't wake me up." ”

Yin Zhen had no choice but to exit the main courtyard and go to Li Side Fujin's West Garden, at that time Fang Fujin had already fallen asleep, and the fourth elder brother suddenly came, she didn't have time to dress, and she saw her husband directly in bed clothes. And since he came, Yinzhen would not put on an ugly face, the two of them talked, and when the night was getting deeper, they would do whatever they had to do.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Fang Fujin woke up earlier than the fourth elder brother, and instructed Qiaozhu to prepare clothes and tea early, wake up her husband at the hour, dress and wash him with her own hands, and was waiting to drink tea. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Eleven is dead."

"Dead?" Yin Zhen was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Hezi in disbelief, "When did it happen, how did you die, you were still talking to me last night." ”

Xiao Hezi said: "The specific matter has not been inquired about by the slave yet, you know, the important things in the palace will not leak out casually, the slave only knows that the eleventh elder brother has just gone, but it seems that something happened last night." ”

Yinzhen no longer delayed, hurriedly left the house, all the way to the palace, the inner palace was already a sad atmosphere, Yinzhen knew that Eniang was in Ningshou Palace, so he went straight to greet him, the queen mother was sad and was persuaded by everyone to stay in bed to recuperate, when Yinzhen came, the queen mother had rested, and Lan Qi was about to withdraw from Ningshou Palace.

"Your imperial grandmother is resting, Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan are with you, you can come back another day to say goodbye." Lan Qi didn't let her son in, but Yinzhen followed her and asked, "Brother Eleven is fine, why did he die suddenly?" ”

Lan Qi frowned, she had a personal experience of Concubine Yi's pain at this moment, and naturally thought of poor Yinzuo in her heart, but her son asked her if she couldn't help but answer, and when she walked to Yonghe Palace with Yinzhen, she talked about last night. I only know that after the banquet was dispersed yesterday, Brother Eleven didn't know where to play, and when the people found him, he was already floating in the Jinshui River, and he still had a breath when he fished it up, but he saved it all night, and he couldn't recover in the early hours of the morning. Now the emperor is appeasing Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace, and the others are not allowed to go to mourn for the time being.

"Xiao Hezi said that it hasn't spread outside yet, but he only knows that the eleventh elder brother has died." Yin Zhen frowned tightly, saying these words in his mouth, suddenly remembered the figure he saw when he left the palace last night, and for some reason now he felt more and more that he had met the prince, one was that the steps of the figures were extremely similar, and the other was the strange thoughts that he himself was curious about, how could he not consciously think of the prince?

At this time, his mother said to him, "I had something to tell you last night, have you ever thought about it when you go back, what was strange about the banquet last night?" ”

Yin Zhen shook his head, he went back last night, and rested in Xiyuan, and he didn't have to mention it to his mother, so he heard Eniang sigh lightly and said: "Yesterday, a few of your brothers, talking about the crusade against Galdan, was so lively and exciting, the Queen Mother and I were very excited when we heard it, but in that case, I saw the prince sitting alone and coldly, what did you brothers say, he couldn't interject half a sentence, and the expression on his face gradually became cold. ”

"Erchen didn't care." Yin Zhen asked in surprise, "Did you see it?" ”

Lan Qi nodded: "E-niang doesn't want to blame you for anything, she just wants to remind you that on occasions like this in the future, although you don't have to deliberately cater to the prince, you must also pay attention to etiquette." At the moment, you can still say that you are young and will grow older in the future, if you still look like this, it should be a joke. ”

Yin Zhen really only remembered the excitement last night, and didn't remember what the second elder brother was, Eniang said that the prince was unhappy, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Not long after, the eunuchs under Liang Gonggong came to invite Concubine De Niangniang to go to Yikun Palace, but Yinzhen was inconvenient to follow, so she had to leave the palace. When they came out, Yin Zhen asked Xiao Hezi which way they took last night, Xiao Hezi led the fourth elder brother there, pointed to the front at the fork and said, "Master, I heard that the eleventh elder brother drowned in the place where this road used to connect to the Neijinshui River. ”

Yinzhen frowned, looked around, and suddenly saw a bunch of silk that fell on the side of the road, mixed with gold and silver red threads, as if hanging on jade, he walked over and picked it up, although the thing is small and the workmanship is very meticulous, Xiao Hezi asked what to do, Yinzhen only pinched it in his hand and said: "It's nothing, let's go." ”

On this side, Lan Qi arrived at Yikun Palace, there was a dead silence in the palace, Princess Wen Ke followed the nurse to stand under the corridor on the side, and when she saw Concubine De Niangniang coming, she immediately ran over, Lan Qi told the nurse to take good care of the princess, coaxed her a few words, and asked the nurse to take her to Yonghe Palace to stay with Sister Wen Chen.

When she entered Concubine Yi's bedroom, she saw Xuan Ye sitting coldly on the side, Concubine Yi collapsed in Taohong's arms in despair on the bed, she didn't cry or make trouble, her expression was sluggish, and in a trance, Lan Qi seemed to see herself back then.

"Brother Eleven's funeral, you will preside over it, Concubine Yi is not in good spirits, I am afraid that she can't do it." When Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi and asked her to excuse herself, he said, "It is said to the outside world that she died of illness, and now the court has won the battle, and it is suddenly rumored that the prince died unexpectedly, which is not conducive to the stability of the court." ”

Lan Qi listened silently, almost the same thing, when Yinzuo was gone, Xuan Ye was not allowed to spread the real cause of death, she endured it back then, and now the same tragedy happened to Concubine Yi, she will not say anything "righteous".

But Concubine Yi had a fierce temperament, and the sluggish person suddenly heard this, and he came to his senses, almost threw himself off the couch, and threw himself all the way to Xuan Ye's lap, crying and shouting: "The emperor wants to give Yinyu justice, Your Majesty, our Yinyu died so miserably......"
