When Lan Qi heard this, she looked down at the little granddaughter in her arms, the child was smiling at her happily, and she couldn't help but laugh with the child, and said to her daughter: "Huanchun came back and told me that the little doll looks the same as you, I don't believe it yet, but now I believe it, and I hold her as if I was holding you when you were a child." ”

Wen Xian teased her daughter, and snuggled up to her mother like a child and said, "If I could have been raised by Eniang's side when I was a child, would everything be different now?" ”

Lan Qi said: "Probably your temperament will be different, they all say that your temperament is natural, but the imperial grandmother spoils you like that, and there is no second person in the world who can grow up like this, if your temperament is different, even if it is the same situation, the result will be different." ”

"yes." Wen Xian let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand and gently touched his daughter's chubby little face, and said with a smile, "E-Niang, don't worry, I won't spoil my children like the imperial grandmother, and I also know that it's not good." ”

Lan Qi said: "If you weren't good, you would have been spoiled as a bad boy a long time ago, how could my daughter be bad?" It's fate that makes people, since fate is already like this, live according to the future you want, with Ama Eniang here, don't be afraid of anything. ”

Wen Xian nodded again and again in agreement, but there was a sadness in her mother's eyes, she couldn't help but rub Eniang's face and said: "I don't lack anything here, Eniang doesn't have to guard me, if you are worried about Huang Ama, go back to Beijing." ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "There are other Niangniang in the palace, how can Eniang leave by herself, Eniang is worried about your Emperor Ama, but it is not to the point where you want to rush back to see him, he has something to be busy with." It's ......" she sighed lightly and said, "You know what kind of future we are waiting for, although E-Niang has a normal heart, but this road will be very hard, E-Niang is not afraid that your brother will not be able to hold on to the end, E-Niang is afraid that after he has experienced all the ups and downs, he is no longer the current fourth elder brother." ”

"The fourth elder brother now?" Wen Xian didn't understand.

"E-Niang has followed your emperor Ama for thirty years, do you know how much he has changed in the past thirty years?" The child in her arms babbled a few times, Lan Qi hurriedly patted her, and then laughed, "Your Ama has never changed her heart for me, but as the emperor who carries the world on his back, his temper, wrists, heart, etc. have changed too much, and the burden on his shoulders is too heavy." ”

Wen Xian's eyes rolled and he smiled: "I think that if this is the so-called emperor's life, it is not something that Eniang can control." You can't even change the fate of my daughter, if my brother is really the emperor's fate, how can you interfere? Although it is said that Huang Ama chose his brother, if his brother really has the emperor's destiny, then he is the same as Huang Ama is the son of destiny. Huang Ama had such a rough childhood, who put him in his eyes at that time, not so much because his grandmother chose him, but God in the end, everything has its own arrangements. ”

Lan Qi listened to her daughter's words, I don't know why I felt very comfortable, originally this was a irresponsible word to entrust everything to the gods, people often hope for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas when they are incapable of doing anything in front of them or afraid of the future, but Lan Qi put this matter on herself, and now according to her daughter's words, let go of some, and her mood is really cheerful. Yes, if the son is really the emperor's order, how can he let her be left right?

In this way, although the capital has done the posthumous affairs of Prince Gong, Lan Qi and Concubine Tong still stayed in Chengde to escape the summer, the weather is hot, everyone does not go out in the palace, Lan Qi's whereabouts are hidden, they all think that Concubine De Niangniang is also resting in her palace, but she doesn't know that she leaves the palace every three or five days to see her daughter and granddaughter, this month is full and happy, unconsciously, it is already at the end of June.

However, less than a month after Prince Gong's death, there was bad news, and Prince Yu, who was also ill for a long time, finally failed to survive this summer, and died on June 26. When the news reached Chengde, Concubine Tong discussed with Lan Qi, saying that the Queen Mother loved Prince Yu, and she didn't know how to be sad now, so they had better go back to serve. Lan Qi has already returned to her heart like an arrow, even if she is reluctant to give up her daughter, thinking about so many things in the capital, she really doesn't worry about their father and son and the old queen mother, on the one hand, she agreed to Concubine Tong, and on the other hand, she said goodbye to her daughter.

And Wen Xian really didn't want to go back to Beijing, she hoped that her children could grow up slowly in peaceful Chengde, and the mother and daughter parted from then on, agreeing to see each other next summer.

But on the way back to the capital for the concubines, the news came that Suo Etu was confined by the emperor and imprisoned, his henchmen were dismissed or executed, and Prince Yu died only a few days ago, and the most turbulent thing in the capital was not the funeral, but the complete collapse of the Hesheri family. Even Concubine Tong, who didn't ask about political affairs, asked Lan Qi nervously: "Let's go back, can the prince still be in Yuqing Palace?" ”

In fact, the Hesheri clan was defeated, but on the surface, it did not have the slightest effect on the crown prince. Everything is as usual in Yuqing Palace, and the emperor still appoints the prince to do some things that can replace him, such as the aftermath of Prince Gong and Prince Yu, which are basically handed over to the prince. In the turbulent days, Yinren was very busy every day, as if the emperor deliberately arranged it this way, so that he would not have a moment to think about the decline of his grandfather's family.

But he always had a time to breathe, but when he took a breath, he understood why his father made him so busy, and it was because of the effort to stop and take a breath that he would panic and tremble to the brink of despair, and he wished that death was relief. The atmosphere in Yuqing Palace plummeted, and everyone trembled, wondering if they would be swept away tomorrow. The crown princess has an expressionless face like a stone sculpture every day, and none of the concubines of the side Fujin dare to anger her at this time, even the palace maids and eunuchs below, and they are also worried that if the prince falls, they will follow the funeral, praying to God and Buddha every day, hoping that the prince can tide over the difficulties.

The elder brothers watched this matter, the uncle and uncle's posthumous affairs slightly gave the prince a hand, and he didn't dare to get closer to the prince, the emperor suppressed the Hesheri family, which seemed to be silent, but in fact he was resolute and ruthless, maybe he did not shake the prince's heart now, and suddenly announced the abolition of the prince one day, the more rumors there were, the more the emperor did not follow the thoughts of the world, that is, this seemingly peaceful moment, he might suddenly rise up and announce the abolition of the prince.

After waiting day after day, Concubine Tong and the others finally arrived in Beijing and returned to the palace.

On that day, Suo Etu's two sons, Gelfin and Algishan, were executed, and the descendants of the same clan were dismissed from their posts and exiled, and the emperor decreed that Suo Etu had all the sins of his life, calling Suo Etu "the first sinner of this dynasty", and even saying that he conspired to encourage the crown prince to usurp the throne and seek power. This sentence, Zhendu Chao and the wilderness were panicked, but the latter sentence that some people were looking forward to, the emperor never said it, and in the end what he said to the civil and military officials was that if the prince was not loyal and benevolent, the Qing Dynasty would have changed long ago.

Lan Qi packed up in Yonghe Palace, Xiao Chen'er came to visit Eniang, these days because the Queen Mother was sad about the death of Prince Yu, she has been taking care of her grandmother in Ningshou Palace, the things in the palace are clear, and she talked to her mother for a long time, but someone outside spread the news that the prince knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace and asked for guilt.

"Since Huang Ama said that the prince's brother is not wrong, wouldn't Huang Ama be embarrassed if he did this?" Even Xiao Chen'er felt that it was inappropriate, and sighed, "But the prince's brother is really difficult, after all, it is his maternal grandfather's family, and Huang Ama does this, even Queen Hesheri can't take care of it." ”

Lan Qi persuaded her daughter: "Don't worry about this kind of thing, E-Niang is back, you can leave the palace and go home, don't leave Fu Ji at home alone." As for these things in the palace, you also remind him to be cautious. ”

Xiao Chen'er promised: "I'll go back tomorrow, and I want to accompany Eniang today." ”

Lan Qi didn't force her daughter too much, but her mind couldn't be on her, the people in Yonghe Palace didn't know what the fourth elder brother was doing these days, and the fourteenth elder brother also ran outside the palace every day, and when the Yan family came to ask for peace, he couldn't say what her husband was busy with. Lan Qi could see that Yinyu should not let her say, since this was the case, she could only continue to wait for news.

That day until the evening, the crown prince was still kneeling in front of the Qianqing gate, he did this to claim to ask his father for guilt, but others looked like they were pleading for his grandfather's family, and the emperor was angry and ignored him, which was not unreasonable.

Lan Qi remembered that Xuan Ye once said that the crown princess's child was stronger than the crown prince, and the prince couldn't go down, so he let the princess continue to walk, and now the prince seemed to be unable to go on, did he really have to pin his trust on the princess?

Before sunset, it seemed to be the last thunderstorm of summer, Lan Qi stood under the eaves and watched the lightning and thunder, Xiao Chen'er was so frightened that she hid in the house, she looked up at the hideous lightning that crossed the dark sky, and her heart was also rumbling and beating, as if the Qing Dynasty was about to change the sky, and what could change was not the present, but the future.

There was also news from the Qianqing Palace, saying that the prince had fainted and had been carried back to Yuqing Palace.

Lan Qi sighed: "Let the imperial doctor treat the prince well, don't fall ill." ”

In Yuqing Palace, the imperial doctor had already arrived in a hurry, a group of people were revolving around the prince, the sound of lightning and thunder and rain was continuous, and the cries of the children also came out of various rooms, and the princess impatiently ordered the people around her: "Go and tell the side Fujin them, let me hear the child's cry again, and let me take the child out together." ”

The crown princess rarely said such cruel words, and someone was busy spreading it, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the children's crying to stop, and the imperial doctor came to tell the princess, saying that the prince was tired and caught cold in the rain and cold, and he could rest in peace.

The crown princess only said that she knew, and said nothing else.

The bustling people in the room left, and under the crackling rain, there was no quiet, and the princess breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the edge of the bed. Yinren had already woken up and was in a daze, when he heard his wife say: "After kneeling for so long, what did the prince think?" ”

Yinren looked at her and didn't speak.

The crown princess had a bleak and desperate smile on her lips, and said coldly: "The matter has come to this, why not fight?" ”
