What Hongyan wants to check is all the guards, eunuchs and palace maids on duty in the Old Summer Palace on the day of Yonglu's drowning, and it takes patience and time to find clues from hundreds of people. Hongyan is patient, but the longer the time drags on, the fading people's memory will be, and now that the emperor has nodded, she has to seize the time together and check all the people who can be checked.

To this day, most of the palace maids and eunuchs have been excluded, they perform their duties, and they must respond to the master's orders at any time when they are on errands, and they cannot easily leave their respective positions.

At the beginning, in order to prevent trouble with the nobles and the old love, she sent all the warriors who returned to the ministry far away from the capital, and at that time it was Fu Heng who took care of this matter for her, and now she has to trouble Fu Heng to find people back.

Xiao Lingzi said: "All the people have been detained in the capital, and when the holy car returns to Luan, Lord Fucha will be waiting for you to ask questions at any time." ”

Hongyan listened, a stirring spirit in his heart, and he wanted to tell Xiao Lingzi, but he was afraid that Xiao Lingzi would cause unnecessary trouble by passing on the wrong words, so he only said: "Let the person who sent the news send the message back, just say that I know, and discuss other things back in Beijing." ”

The emperor over there stepped forward because he didn't see Hongyan, and sent Manager Wu to invite him again, Hongyan couldn't delay, and sent Xiao Lingzi over, Hongli thought she was tied up by the child, and didn't plan to ask what's wrong, but Hongyan took the initiative to say: "The guard who was on an errand in the Old Summer Palace that day was found, and he was transferred out of the capital for some reason, and now he is being sent back." ”

Hongli learned that it was a warrior who returned to the ministry, and he smiled: "At that time, I thought that they were very eye-catching in the garden, and they were also very eye-catching in the capital, who knows whether they were sent for my use, or to spy on my Qing Dynasty secrets, but I didn't expect to transfer the person you wanted." ”

Hongyan saw that the emperor didn't know that it was her own arrangement at that time, so why did she bother to tell Hongli the truth, and then worshiped the Buddha devoutly, and returned to Beijing after staying in Wutai Mountain for two days.

In those two days, the emperor spent most of his time with the ministers during the day, and the women were naturally in one place, and Qingque followed Sanfujin to accompany Niangniang, as the daughter-in-law who was about to enter the door, and Concubine Yu was inseparable.

After getting along for a long time, the child's meticulousness and intelligence are in her eyes, Concubine Yu has no dissatisfaction with her son's own choice of Fujin, and this time she also made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva.

This day is the night before returning to Luan, although it is only a short stay for two days, it is also a major event for the labor and mobilization of the people, and now to return to Luan, it is even more difficult to relax everywhere. Yongqi has been staring at the gate wholeheartedly since his departure, not allowing any mistakes, and walking near the palace with a tense face and a sword every day, the innate majesty and nobility of the young man can not make people look forward to his possible future.

At this moment, Qingque withdrew from Concubine Yu's house, and she was going back to her residence when Concubine Yu went to sleep, Concubine Yu was not at ease and sent Bai Li to play a lantern to follow aside, so coincidentally she met the fifth elder brother who came to ask for peace, and after going out for so long, Qingque saw her fiancé for the first time.

Bai Li smiled and said: "Niangniang is thinking about it, how did you go out together, but you can't touch it, but don't be ashamed to deliberately avoid us." ”

The serious expression on Yongqi's face faded when he saw Qingque, and when he heard Bai Li joke like this, he even smiled and said: "The affairs around Huang Ama cannot be relaxed, and Eniang can only slack off." ”

Bai Li smiled and pushed Qingque forward, and said, "How can Niangniang have any slackness in front of her, how can Niangniang be accountable, you must not neglect our Miss Qingque." ”

Qingque was pushed out by Bai Pear coldly, and pounced on Yongqi, almost crashing into his arms, but fortunately, Qingque stood firm on her own, she was measured, no matter how she wanted to be with Yongqi Chao Twilight, before entering the door, she must not be presumptuous. She wants to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and the royal value is decency the most.

"The mother just fell asleep, and she couldn't leave people around her, so the slave and maid went back first." Bai Li smiled, "Fifth Elder Brother, you can send Miss Qingque back to the house, Miss Qingque lives in Sanfujin in the west." ”

"Auntie......" Qingque wanted to excuse herself, afraid that it would be inappropriate, but Bai Li gave her the lantern and turned around and left, not giving her a chance to speak at all. The surroundings quickly quieted down, Qingque looked down at the lantern in her hand, and didn't dare to look up at Yongqi, she was abiding by the rules, she didn't want to make trouble for Yongqi and herself, but she was afraid that she would make Yongqi misunderstand like this, and all kinds of emotions were disturbed, so she looked up and said, "Let's go." ”

But at the same time, Yongqi also said: "Let's go." ”

The two spoke in unison, their eyes were facing each other, under the soft light, Yongqi was a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, Qingque was a powdery-faced shy and slender beauty, Yongqi's heart was hot, and he stretched out his hand to her, Qingque slowly handed himself over to him, Yongqi said gently: "Be careful of your step, I'll send you back." ”

The two walked side by side hand holding hands, the figure gradually disappeared from the night, Bai Li hid in the dark and watched secretly, and when she came back to Ming Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu had already lay down, so she had to sit up again, bow and pray in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva enshrined in the room, get up and return to the bed, and sighed: "After Suo Yuluo entered the door, if she knew that she was here to give birth to Yongqi, what should she think?" Hongyan advised me not to have a bowl of water, but which side should I lean toward? They were so in love that Suo Xue Luo would soon know that he was superfluous. ”

Bai Li said: "It's better for the master to explain before Miss Qingque, the children born in the future will also be Miss Qingque's children, her dignity as a mother-in-law is unshakable, coupled with the sincerity of the fifth elder brother, Miss Qingque will lack nothing." Then you have a bright side here, and you have to let the side Fujin have a place to rest assured. You are also for the peace of the fifth elder brother's house, Miss Qingque knows that you love her in your heart, and she will not be unhappy. ”

Concubine Yu bowed her head and said: "On the way back, I explained to Qingque that I don't want to be a failed mother-in-law, and I don't want to be like the old lady, who is still obsessed in her old age. ”

Bai Li said: "This year's Queen Mother's seventieth birthday, this matter has not yet been decided who will preside, I am afraid that there should be a certain number when I go back." ”

Concubine Yu waved her hand and said: "I don't have the energy to worry about such a big thing now as when I was young, this time I will never interfere, Yongqi has become a family, if it is faster, there will be good news within the year, I want to raise the spirit to hold the little grandson in the future." ”

Bai Li put down the tent for her, and said, "I don't know if the emperor will let the concubine Niangniang come forward to preside." ”

Concubine Yu lazily lay down and said, "The Queen Mother won't let Hongyan preside, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Wutai Mountain is a quiet place, the emperor has lived alone for two days, and only when he returns to call Hongyan to his side, gossip in the south and north at night, and talk about the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother, Hongyan said: "A few years ago, the concubine prepared this expense, and after Concubine Ying took over, the concubine was afraid that she was still inexperienced and was bullied and fooled by the people below, so she did not hand over this account to her." After returning to Luan, the concubines were handed over to the emperor, and they were instructed in the name of the emperor to do what they wanted, and the concubines did not interfere. ”

Hongli sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that the emperor must not believe that you arranged all this for her early, no matter how well you do it, it is not worth it in her eyes." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Praise from the emperor, seeing the emperor happy, everything is worth it." The concubine is still the same disrespectful sentence now, and she has no expectations for the Queen Mother, so she will never be disappointed again. The emperor's tolerance is already Wei Hongyan's greatest blessing. ”

Hongli pecked lightly on her cheeks, white as jade, as smooth as satin, making people unconsciously greedy and reluctant to separate, the red face has passed the year, but half of the old age, the corners of the eyes do not see a trace of wrinkles, and the emperor himself, is really no longer what it used to be.

"I'm old, and when I comb my hair in the morning, there are four or five gray hairs in a strand of hair." Hongli said unwillingly, "I thought we were in our best years, but we are already old. ”

Hongyan smiled: "If you can grow old, wouldn't it be complete?" ”

Hongli shook his head and caressed Hongyan's cheeks lovingly: "I'm afraid that I will leave too early and leave you ......"

Hongyan covered his mouth and said: "I have said it countless times earlier, the concubines don't like to hear such words, but the emperor has repeatedly taught him and is not allowed to say it again." ”

"This time I went to Wutai Mountain, and several masters I knew when I was young have passed away, and the fairest thing in this world is time." Hongli said sadly: "When I arrived in this quiet place, there were no distracting thoughts, and there was only life and death left." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Since it is a quiet place, life and death should be put aside, but the emperor is the opposite?" ”

Hongli pursed his lips and smiled helplessly: "You say, am I reluctant to let you be reluctant to give up on others, or am I reluctant to give up this throne?" I have only been an emperor for twenty-six years, and I am already old. Although he has been in power for twice as long as the first emperor, it is still far from being compared with Kangxi. ”

"The emperor will definitely live a long life." Hongyan smiled softly, "Let's get through the front of the eye first, and the emperor should take care of his body." ”

Hongli nodded: "At least when I am alive, I must be worthy of the world." In order to make up for the gap between our teens, we must take care of our health. ”

Hongyan just wanted to coax him to be happy, don't think about these things that don't know when they will happen, and deliberately teased Hongli, but said: "The important thing is to be less close to women, don't be self-conscious." ”

The two stared at each other, and could feel each other's hot breathing, Hongli couldn't hold it anymore, hugged her and said, "I know that I should be less close to women and more to red faces." ”

Feeling that her body was restrained, she gently stroked her around her body, Hongyan's heart jumped suddenly, leaving everything behind and throwing herself into his arms, she was also afraid of the age difference between herself and the emperor, and she didn't know how she would live her life if Hongli abandoned her one day. Perhaps, it would be better to go ahead of him.
