Under the cover of Yongqi, Hongyan was quickly sent out of the garden with the child in her arms, and there were already guards with torches, and the flames in the daytime, in addition to the bloodthirsty scarlet, could also see the black smoke that could not be seen at night, Hongyan felt as if she had inhaled all the black smoke, and her chest was so stuffy that she felt disgusted.

Although her children were fine, she never thought that Sixteen would be left alone by the river, as if Yonglu's death had been forgotten by everyone, as if they didn't remember how Fourteen Elder Brother died in the first place. Hongyan has always been tolerant of palace people, even when Yonglu died, she didn't pursue the people who served her, but this time she couldn't be soft-hearted, her kindness in the eyes of some people may be a weakness that can be exploited. When Imperial Physician He rushed to treat the little elder brother, the Yanxi Palace was full of eunuchs and palace maids, and the people who followed the sixteenth elder brother had already been beaten and wilted half-dead to the side.

"Sixteen elder brothers eat the river water, they will have stomach problems and fever, and it is inevitable that they will be sick, don't be too nervous, the minister will try her best to take care of it." Imperial Physician He never said tactful and coaxing words, Hongyan can be regarded as taking half a reassuring pill, and there should be no major incident in Sixteen.

"Concubine Rong doesn't like to have men approaching, you arrange for a proper medical woman to take care of her, she is the one who is drowning, don't be careless." Hongyan commanded, and then remembered to ask, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”

"The Queen Mother was frightened, and the emperor supported the Queen Mother too hard, which made the Queen Mother stumble, and nothing else. A few more concubines were stung by them, and the stinger was pulled out. Doctor He told them one by one, knowing that Hongyan had other things to deal with, so he said that he would prescribe a prescription to take medicine, and left Yanxi Palace first.

Hongyan looked at Xiao Qike'er and Yongyan successively, they were all frightened to varying degrees, but when they asked who was with Xiao Sixteen, they said different answers, which shows that there were many children at that time, playing together, and there were people who didn't care about each other. As for Xiao Qi, because of the things of Yonglu in the past, she was very nervous, and compared to Yongyan, who couldn't stop crying, Hongyan spent more time to relieve her daughter.

When she was busy with everything, the emperor had already sent someone to ask Hongyan twice if she was okay, she asked Hongli to take care of the queen mother, don't worry about her side, the sun is not as strong as the first at this moment, in the end it is still the end of March, kneeling in the shade, the palace people are a little unbearable.

"Why are there two people missing?" Hongyan stood under the eaves, looking at the people in the courtyard, there were still two beaten people lying next to the side, but they were empty at this time, she asked Xiao Lingzi, "Is it broken, go down to heal your injuries?" ”

Xiao Lingzi said embarrassedly: "He, they have a stomach trouble, and they can't hold it back when they are beaten, and they make a miasma, and the slave is afraid of staining the master's eyes, so he dragged them down first." ”

"Both of you have stomach problems?" Hongyan asked.

"Master." Cherry stepped forward and pulled Hongyan to the hall, she was busy comforting the child for a while, Cherry and Xiao Lingzi asked everything that should be asked, and at the moment they avoided the people outside, and then whispered to Hongyan, "They all ate the things given by the Twelfth Elder Brother, and then suddenly they began to have stomach troubles, just in time to catch up with the little elder brother of the prince's family to poke the hornet's nest, and the whole garden was in a mess." They said that when they left the sixteenth elder brother, the little royal grandchildren in the fourth elder brother's mansion, as well as the children of the queen mother's Niu Hulu family, were all feeding the fish together, and many people watched. But when the people went there, they couldn't tell. ”

"You said they ate what the Twelve Elder Brother gave?" Hongyan asked.

"The other children have eaten, and the sixteenth elder brother didn't eat it before they were stuffed into it, and the slave maid went to inquire, and no one else had a stomach problem." Cherry told Hongyan everything she could ask, "This is really strange, and when our sixteenth elder brother had an accident, the twelfth elder brother had already returned to the queen's mother." ”

"It was the child of the prince's family who stabbed the hornet's nest, if it was an accident, it would be too much of a coincidence." Hongyan's face was solemn, "What does this have to do with the Twelfth Elder Brother, ...... that kid?"

At this time, the emperor sent someone again, this time it was the chief manager Wu who came in person, and when he entered the door and saw that the courtyard was full of kneeling people, he was also bluffed, and approached Hongyan's side, and then said: "The queen mother is not in good spirits, and the emperor can't do without it, but the emperor asked the servants to ask you, ask the sixteenth elder brother what the mother plans to do, whether to arrest the relevant people and interrogate them, the emperor said what you want to do, and the emperor depends on you." ”

Compared with the evasion in the past, the emperor took the initiative to ask this time, but Hongyan was worried, involving the twelve elder brothers, things would not be easy to do, the queen is a person who does not see the depths, and even Hongyan does not know how far she can go if she wants to rise up to protect her children one day.

"It is important to ask the emperor to take care of the queen mother, I have appeased the sixteenth elder brother here, and I will also go to the queen mother to say goodbye. Tell the emperor and the queen mother that the sixteenth elder brother is fine, he fell into the water as soon as his greedy feet slipped, and he just ate a few mouthfuls of river water. Hongyan said lightly, and gave Mr. Wu a look, and Mr. Wu knew what he should say to the emperor.

Hongyan and Manager Wu came out together, the people outside were either shivering with cold, or trembling with fear, after Manager Wu left, Hongyan said: "You all get up, I will no longer pursue this matter, and I hope you can be vigilant when you punish you, next time there is such a thing, and when the Criminal Division comes to take people, I can't control it." Have you all forgotten, how did the fourteenth elder brother die? ”

Everyone confessed one after another, and said coldly: "After this incident, someone may want to break away from Yanxi Palace, this is not bad, if you really want to leave, just say, I will let Cherry give you a bounty, but if it is a sneaky trick, don't blame me for being polite." ”

Everyone in the palace knows that being an errand in Yanxi Palace is a first-class blessing, just as Wei Qingtai wanted to send his daughter to Changchun Palace back then, not everyone can enter the door of Yanxi Palace. Those who come never want to leave, now that such a thing has happened, those who are not bad are afraid that the master will provoke people, and there are really any vicious people, and they can't keep it.

Early the next morning, Fo'er came into the palace with her stomach up, worried that something would happen to Xiao Sixteen, so she insisted on seeing it with her own eyes. scared Hongyan a lot, but he was reluctant to blame, so he only said in a loud voice: "Little Ancestor, it's a shame that you didn't come yesterday, what if you were scared out of a flash?" ”

Seeing that his younger brother was already able to stick to his belly and wonder if there was any movement in it, Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What can I do if something like that happens again in the sixteenth year, if my mother is not good, I am not good." ”

"No nonsense." Hongyan felt sorry for the Buddha's hard work, so she simply ordered Dr. He to ask for a pulse to see if the child was okay. Later, he said: "Since you have entered the palace, E-Niang and you will go to Ningshou Palace to have a scene, and your imperial grandmother is also frightened, and the hornets are overwhelming, and it is estimated that her old man has never seen such a thing in his life." ”

Buddha said narrowly: "I heard that Concubine Ying's forehead is swollen with a big bag? ”

Hongyan said angrily: "Don't look at the joke at this time, it's scary to think about it." ”

The mother and daughter came to Ningshou Palace, of course the Queen Mother would not see the red face, it was Yong'er who went out to greet her, and now she can take the initiative to serve the Queen Mother smartly. When she saw the Buddha, she was about to salute, but was stopped by Hongyan and said: "Even if she is always there, she is also the princess's concubine, she is pregnant and it is inconvenient to salute, so don't be polite." The Queen Mother will leave it to you here, take care of it. ”

Exiting Ningshou Palace, Hongyan took Buddha to Yonghe Palace, Rong Concubine was already able to sit under the eaves and bask in the sun, seeing Hongyan coming, she smiled helplessly, Buddha was left to rest where she was sitting, and listened to the maids in the Hui Department saying words she didn't understand, here Hongyan and Ipar Khan sat under the open window, listening to the excitement outside, Iparkhan said very directly: "I thought about it all night and couldn't remember, who pushed the sixteenth elder brother into the water, the only impression is that the person is not tall." ”

"A child?" Hongyan asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know." Iparkhan said regretfully, "I'd love to remember for you, this time, I can't let you down no matter what." ”

Hongyan got up and bowed respectfully to Ipar Khan: "Thank you for saving my son, I don't know what else to do to you besides this worship." ”

Ipar Khan responded with a Uyghur gift, saying: "Whether it is the Old Summer Palace or the Forbidden City, I can live peacefully without being troubled by anyone, not only because of the emperor's kindness, but also because of your heart." But you do everything quietly and quietly, never thinking about anything in return, and your children should also be blessed as a good person. ”

Hongyan sighed lightly: "It would be nice if they could live a safe life." ”

Concubine Cong can only get sporadic clues from her mouth, and she can't spell out a clear picture, and Hongyan has doubts in her heart, afraid that she will go in the wrong direction, let the real murderer escape, and damage her tacit understanding with the queen. Twelve elder brothers? The upsetting child.

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and the hornets in the imperial garden have been eliminated, saying that the emperor has lived in the Old Summer Palace for many years, and the imperial garden has been negligent in management, and unconsciously raised these things, and the prince's youngest son stabbed the hornet's nest is also seen by many people, so that he had to ask for guilt everywhere, and was inexplicably reprimanded by the emperor.

As for the matter of the sixteenth elder brother, Ling Guifei said that he was greedy for fun and fell into the water, and the emperor did not pursue it, and irrelevant people looked at it, and he would not mention it again if he did not follow it.

On this day, Qingque followed Yongqi into the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and when they returned home, the two were still talking and laughing, who knew that the housekeeper said that the sixth elder brother was coming, and he was waiting in the front hall, and the couple changed their faces, and Qingque reminded her husband: "Pay attention to talking to him." ”

Yongqi was measured, so he came to the front hall, and saw Yongying pacing back and forth in it, and smiled when he saw him: "Fifth brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"What's the matter, I didn't hear you were coming." Yongqi is polite.

"How's going in the palace?" The sixth elder brother's gaze was cold and faint, as if he was hiding something, and said with a smile, "Are the hornets all scattered?" ”
