Seeing his son's hesitation, Fu Heng said: "If you are embarrassed, stay out of the matter, and you are not allowed to interfere in how others investigate." Since you want to take care of this brotherhood, Amma will not embarrass you, but I have my position, and you, as a descendant of the Fucha family, must not disobey it. ”

Fu Heng, as a father, has never been negotiable about his son's upbringing and restraint, naturally his son never dares to really put his mind on outsiders, it is his confidence that he will be so "domineering", sure enough, Fu Ling'an said: "Amma, let your son check, rather than let others know something, it is better for your son to know, it is better for your son to know, it can be regarded as an explanation of this brotherhood." ”

"Then I don't have to say it to anyone when I wait for your news, not to your Eniang and the county lord. Tell me first, and I'll give you another command. Fu Heng said this, let his son leave, there were colleagues waiting in the study, he was very relieved to his son, and went back without thinking too much.

As for the sixth elder brother's injury, the emperor knew that he was misbehaving, and there must be something strange about his sudden wealth and nobility this time, either making enemies in the palace or arousing hatred in the court, and the person who stabbed him that day must not be an assassin, but specifically for him. Therefore, Hongli is not worried about the safety of the palace, after the White Lotus Sect created evil in the Old Summer Palace, the Forbidden City was so strict that there were a certain number of birds and crows hovering on the roof, where could any assassins be mixed in, and the person who injured the sixth elder brother must be a person in the palace.

He Jing listened to Hongyan's words, saying that she didn't see anything, but the palace maids and eunuchs who followed her were all interrogated, and they either didn't see anything, or they all agreed that he was a not tall man at the moment, saying that children were too young, but it was not enough to say that adults were not enough, twelve or thirteen years old, there were princes of this age in the palace, but there were also young eunuchs of this age.

And at this time, the twelfth elder brother was sick, and the size and age of the twelfth elder brother were the same as those described by the eunuchs and palace maids, even Hongyan felt that the twelfth elder brother was "sick" at the wrong time, she understood the contradiction between the sixth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother best, and in her heart, there was no doubt that this matter was counted on the head of Yikun Palace. But Hongyan doesn't go around talking, but when others associate the height of the Twelfth Elder Brother, the rumors quickly swept the entire Forbidden City.

That day, the emperor believed the queen's words, and sent the imperial physician to take care of the twelve elder brothers, and then he didn't ask about the affairs of Yikun Palace, the imperial doctors are very shrewd people, and if they can not interfere with the privacy of the inner palace, they will never talk too much, and only a few people know that the twelve elder brothers are not sick, which naturally includes Hongyan.

That night, I coped with another consultation with the imperial doctor, and the queen brought food to feed her son, and the food sent by the palace maid was dropped by Yongxuan all day, and the queen only said calmly at the moment: "You are hungry, you haven't eaten for a day." ”

Yongxuan's eyes were straight, staring at the floor in front of the door without any reaction, the queen stepped forward, squatted down and forcibly met his gaze, and said, "If you don't eat, do you want to starve to death, that's fine, if you die, you will be free from everything, right?" ”

"E-niang?" Yongxuan was furious that his mother would say such a thing to him.

"If you don't want to die, live well and eat well." The queen reached out and touched her son's cheek who was slapped by herself, "E-Niang will protect you, you don't have to worry about the matter of the sixth elder brother, he will never confess to you, the rest of the matter will be handed over to E-niang, get through this matter, and you will go to the study as before." But Yongxuan, you promise E-Niang, in addition to reading, writing, and practicing martial arts, riding and archery, don't bother about anything, E-Niang can't help you every time. ”

The twelfth elder brother had tears in his eyes, and the little child would sneer: "What are you helping me now, you lock me up now, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here, everyone should suspect that it is me." ”

The queen shook her head and said: "E-Niang let you out, you will definitely go to the sixth elder brother, or see how he is, or ......" The cruel words The queen couldn't speak, shook her head and said, "That is the real three hundred taels of silver here, your emperor Ama must send someone to wait there, child, you believe in E-Niang, this matter will definitely pass, I believe E-Niang is good?" ”

Yongxuan cried and said aggrievedly: "Originally, in this world, I couldn't believe anyone except Eniang, but Eniang, you don't think about anything." Eniang, I want to be the prince, I want to be the future emperor, I'm the concubine of the middle palace, aren't I, Eniang, will you help me? ”

"Help, E-Niang will help you." The queen now just wants to stabilize her son's mood, and she will come when she opens her mouth to say anything, she takes her son to the table and sits down, persuades him to eat something, and even says, "How can you grow up without eating, how can you be an emperor?" ”

Although there was a more harmonious conversation, but the relationship between mother and son has already become very hard, when the queen left, stumbled a few steps at the door and almost fell, she did not allow the palace maid to make a fuss, tired back to her bedroom, this is just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the empty palace room is so cold that people shiver. Things are people, there are memories of Hua Rong in every corner of this palace, but the person who can warm himself the most will never come back, it turns out that in the past, even in the face of Yongxi's temper and petty temperament, Hua Rong was taking care of her.

"Hua Rong, what should I do?" The queen was curled up in a ball, and she herself shivered with cold, how to warm her son.

The next morning, when Hongyan was dressing the sleepy-eyed little ones, Cherry told her in her ear that the sixth elder brother had woken up. The emperor is listening to the government in Qianqingmen at the moment, and he can only go to see the sixth elder brother when he disperses the court, where the guards are layer by layer, and irrelevant people can't enter, this time the emperor is not ambiguous, at least before the sixth elder brother leaves the palace, this matter is handled quite seriously.

Hongyan picked up Xiao Sixteen, who had not yet woken up, and instructed Cherry: "Tell Manager Wu, I want to know what the emperor and Sixth Elder Brother said, you let him decide if he can tell me by himself." Naturally, if the emperor takes the initiative to come and talk to me, there will be nothing to do with him. ”

Cherry was ordered to leave, Hongyan wanted to take a few children for breakfast, but Xiao Sixteen, who had always woken up the earliest, was lazy today, sticking to Hongyan and refusing to move, Hongyan touched his forehead and felt a little hot, so he announced that he was too sick, and sure enough, the little guy was sick. With his son's illness, Hongyan no longer had the heart to care about other people's affairs, and the emperor learned that the sixteenth elder brother was sick, so he didn't wait to see the sixth elder brother first, and went straight to Yanxi Palace to see his youngest son.

However, Hongyan didn't know whether the emperor's words were true or false, he actually said: "The twelfth elder brother is also sick, and sure enough, the climate is changeable, cold and hot, and the children can't stand it." "At that time, Cherry was by his side, looking at each other with a red face, the emperor really believed that the twelfth elder brother was sick?

Coincidentally, as Hongli said, because the sixteenth elder brother is also sick, the illness of the twelfth elder brother seems to be more reasonable, and several concubines in the palace also fell ill because of the cold wind blowing on the warm body after drinking wine and warming the body when watching the fireworks on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the illness of the twelfth elder brother is even more like that.

After the emperor confirmed that his youngest son's illness was not important, he went to see the sixth elder brother slowly, there was no affection between father and son for a long time, and Hongli's concern was just to let the matter have an explanation, after all, so many imperial relatives watched it, and the matter had already been spread. And he has been thinking about what the sixth elder brother will say when he wakes up, and has been guessing which thing is involved, but the sixth elder brother really did not disappoint him, and people told him soberly that he didn't see anything. said that he was stabbed while walking on the night road, and after being stabbed, his eyes turned black and he didn't see anything, that is, he asked him why he ran out of the banquet without being at the banquet, and he said that he had drunk too much wine, and when he went to relieve his hands, he wanted to go out to blow the wind, and he was lost unconsciously.

Such a ridiculous reply, but the emperor was very satisfied, he knew that this was the sixth elder brother's personal grudge, and he didn't want to interfere in the first place, since the sixth elder brother sealed his mouth, why did he bother to do this, the next time he was really killed by someone, it was also his own fault. The emperor left the words "good for yourself", and ordered someone to send the sixth elder brother back to Baylor Mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and he didn't ask again.

Since the emperor doesn't want to care, he must let everyone know what the sixth elder brother said, it's not that the emperor doesn't help him investigate the case, but that he himself is confused and can't provide any clues, such news spreads, the queen and the twelfth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and Hongyan just smiled bitterly: "It's also clean, since he survived, the sixth elder brother must still think about continuing to make profits in the future." ”

Cherry breathed a sigh of relief: "The slave is really afraid that this matter will involve you, once the fifth elder brother is involved, it will be troublesome." ”

Hongyan said: "Blame myself for hiding it, although I didn't do anything, it's also wrong to hide it." It's like I deliberately want to see the other princes' brothers, this shouldn't be what I did, I should have helped the emperor to make them harmonious. One day the emperor will have to deal with me, and it is also the punishment I deserve, after all, I originally thought so, let them entangle and make room for my own son. Just see who can have the last laugh, and see if my son is blessed. ”

Hongyan already knows what she wants, and she no longer avoids such desires, there is no turning back on this road, she can only keep the final bottom line, no matter what, it will not harm anyone, similar to the entanglement between the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, she just doesn't act, and she can't count this kind of thing on her head.

Hongyan asked Cherry: "Which adult is in charge of the defense in the palace now?" ”

Cherry responded: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fifth elder brother has taken care of it these days. ”

Hongyan was thoughtful and sighed softly: "I hope it doesn't go as I thought." ”

However, things are destined not to be so simple, that night Yongqi saw that the twelfth elder brother had been staring at the sixth elder brother's family, he moved his mind that he should not move, who called the sixth elder brother out alone, think about it carefully, there are few people in this palace who can do this, the sixth elder brother is not a fool, how could anyone look for him, and he left alone?
