"It's good for you to keep an eye on yourself, you don't have to ask the fifth elder brother what's wrong, can't people have their own thoughts?" I didn't expect Fu Heng to be so light-hearted, he said to his son, "Go back and rest, it's not a good thing to get drunk, let the prince get drunk, if the emperor investigates, you may not be able to afford it, and you are not allowed to drink again for these two years." ”

Fu Ling'an agreed, and then withdrew from the study with his father, and saw his mother standing outside, Fu Heng was also surprised, but he thought that the night was cold, and he took off his clothes and put them on his wife silently, and when Fu Ling'an was about to do so, he was scolded: "Full of alcohol, I am not afraid that your mother will dislike me, go back and sober up, don't make trouble for the county lord." ”

Ruyin gently persuaded her son: "Rest early, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, I have already asked someone to bring you sobering soup." ”

The couple said goodbye to their son and went back to the room, and on the way Fu Heng deliberately said: "You are in such a hurry, and you don't remember to wear an extra piece of clothing, are you afraid that I will mess with the little girl in the study?" ”

Ruyin saw that he still had the heart to joke, as if the fifth elder brother's drunken confession had no effect on him, after so many years, there was already a tacit understanding between the husband and wife about Hongyan, she was no longer afraid that asking more questions would cause embarrassment, so she said: "I heard it all, don't you ask me what I think?" ”

Fu Heng snorted and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ruyin shook her head: "It's better for me not to tell my sister, otherwise her tolerance towards the fifth elder brother won't become a joke?" But if my sister doesn't know that the fifth elder brother has always been hostile to her and Yongyan in her heart, what if something happens in the future? ”

Fu Heng said: "It's true that you don't have to tell the concubine, after all, the fifth elder brother doesn't have the courage to really do evil, and he should guard against him with his heart, it is better to spend more effort elsewhere, and the fifth elder brother is not afraid." ”

"What do you think?"

"I will send someone to keep an eye on everything in Prince Rong's mansion, you don't have to worry about it, Yongqi is just a hairy boy, he has no power behind him, he can't do earth-shattering things." Fu Heng smiled at Ruyin, hoping that she could rest assured, "Let's see how the sixth elder brother entangles the queen, the people of Nala Mansion must be anxious." ”

Let's say that the sixth elder brother found the queen's father and blackmailed 50,000 taels of silver, although Nala Mansion was not able to make ends meet for 50,000 taels of silver, but he couldn't conjure up so much cash at once, so he collected 5,000 taels of silver and sent it to the sixth elder brother first, Nabul thought about it again and decided to discuss this matter with the queen.

The queen didn't know that the family was plotting behind her back and the twelve elder brothers, and her father forcibly entered the palace to ask her for peace that day, she thought that something had happened in the family, so that her father was anxious to see herself, when she heard that the sixteenth elder brother fell into the water was caused by their family, it was Yongxuan who pushed his younger brother into the water with his own hands, and the queen even died.

But she sat there alone, and Hua Rong, who could reach out and hold a hand, was gone, and the queen really understood how ridiculous her life was.

"Queen Mother, you must be careful, don't have anything to do with the sixth elder brother." Nabul was gray-haired, and he couldn't speak as neatly as before, and sighed, "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......"

"Amma, did you come up with this, or did Yong Xuan J come up with it?" The queen finally spoke, "Who came up with the idea of killing the sixteenth elder brother?" ”

Nabul said: "Also, I can't talk about who came up with it, but when I mentioned it that day, I thought that the sixteenth elder brother was the youngest and the easiest to start, and I didn't expect that Concubine Ling would be so negligent in taking precautions, and easily let us take advantage of the loophole." ”

The queen was furious, slapped the table heavily, pointed at her father and said: "It's a shame that I don't let Yongxuan communicate with you, if he had followed you since he was a child to learn these insidious and harmful things, he didn't know what else to do, and he might have committed a big crime and was killed by the emperor a long time ago." Amma, how can you instigate a child to kill your own brother, Amma, you have ruined my whole life, and you will ruin your grandson? ”

Nabul sneered: "Why did the old minister ruin his mother's life? If Niangniang is not infatuated with Fucha Fu Qing, if Niangniang divides her mind between the emperor and the twelve elder brothers, can she still bother to come up with such a means to deal with a lowly and humble concubine? Mother, you ruined your life. ”

"Amma, kneel." The queen suppressed her anger, turned her back and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to come to see me, nor are you allowed to see the Twelfth Elder Brother again, otherwise everyone will stop living, I will tell the emperor everything, and our family will not live." ”

"You ......" Nabul was angry, but he was too old to toss and couldn't move, he only felt a pain in his chest as if it was cracked, and the queen called the palace people to take him out, and the father and daughter broke up after all.

After her father left, the queen ordered the palace people to turn out all her gold and silver jewelry, find out all the silver taels she had saved over the years, and sit under the window to calculate the accounts carefully, not knowing if she could make up 50,000 taels. The queen had no concept of money all her life, so when she counted it, she knew how much 50,000 taels was, and the cash in her hand was only a fraction.

The twelfth elder brother knew that his grandfather entered the palace today, and he returned from school in the study at this time, and he heard that Eniang and his grandfather were unhappy, and he came to the queen dissatisfied, and wanted to ask his mother why he had a dispute with his grandfather, but he saw that Eniang's house was covered with gold, silver and jade, and the palace people at the bottom didn't know, so he had to ask curiously: "Huang Eniang, what are you doing turning these things out?" ”

The queen looked at him indifferently, signaled the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat, and the room was filled with the strange aura of gold and silver that had been stored for many years, and the queen said indifferently: "Didn't you push the sixteenth elder brother into the water, and when someone saw it, people found your grandfather and asked for 50,000 taels of silver." ”

Yongxuan's eyeballs were about to come out of his sockets, and he pushed back in a panic, tripped over the box on the ground, and fell down heavily, but he didn't even remember the pain at this time, and looked at his mother in a panic, and the queen sighed lightly: "Be careful, don't break those things, and take them out to fill the holes in exchange for silver." ”

Yongxuan struggled to get up and threw himself at the queen's feet: "Eniang, who is who?" E-Niang, if you make such a big move to raise money, Huang Ama will also know, and the people in the palace will know, E-Niang ......"

The child trembled so much that it was distressing, but the queen didn't dare to imagine how he pushed such a young brother into the water, did his hands tremble at that moment, he didn't feel that he was wrong until now, but thought about how to hide it, thinking about how not to let people find out, children are children, and he didn't think about it so much when he started.

The queen stretched out her hand and touched her son's cheek, and said with tears in her eyes: "Yongxuan, did E-Niang ruin you, is it E-Niang's fault?" ”

In Yanxi Palace, Cherry inquired about the movements of Dao Yikun Palace, and quietly came to tell Hongyan that the queen's mother was rummaging through the cabinets to raise money, Hongyan was cold in her heart, now the queen also knows everything, what will the queen do next, is it to explain everything to herself, begging herself to forgive the twelfth elder brother, or constantly deal with the sixth elder brother, and take out the gold and silver mountains to fill his desires. And he knows everything, but he stays out of it and lets everything unfold viciously, and he doesn't know what the result will be in the end.

"If you take this step forward, you won't have to turn back, they can't go back, and neither will I." Hongyan unconsciously touched the lapis lazuli on his wrist and said helplessly, "Take one step at a time." ”

There are different opinions in the palace about the queen's sudden accumulation of wealth, but who would have thought that it was the sixth elder brother who was blackmailing the middle palace, and naturally felt that the queen was sending the property to her mother's house, but she had never seen such a big movement in the past, which inevitably aroused curiosity.

Even the Queen Mother wondered why the queen did this, and asked Hongli what was going on, but the emperor didn't know anything, which provoked the queen mother to ridicule and sarcastically again: "In your heart, Wei Hongyan is the queen of the Middle Palace, right?" Hongli, don't forget what you once said, Wei Hongyan is not worthy of being a queen in this life. ”

Hongli just smiled: "E-Niang's words are serious, maybe Hua Rong is not there, and the style of doing things in Yikun Palace has changed, so that people feel fresh, and it will probably be fine after a while." ”

And he then went to Yikun Palace to see the queen and asked about these things, and the queen dealt with it usually, saying that she was sending some things to her home, and when Yongqi opened the Yajian Mansion in the future, it would be convenient for him to buy a family house, which was nothing special.

Hongli saw that the queen was not abnormal, and remembered that she had always kept to herself, so he was convinced. And the people of Nala Mansion can't let the queen go to great lengths to raise money, even if the queen doesn't want to see her family again, she will also spread the word to say that the silver from the sixth elder brother's side, they will think about it.

The days seem to continue peacefully, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and many people are hanging their hearts, and since then, the twelfth elder brother has even walked cautiously. Hongyan has to be distracted by being busy all day long because of taking care of the children and taking care of the affairs of the six palaces, so she feels heavy when she occasionally thinks about it.

And the royal family has to be decent everywhere in the end, and after a long time, many things have faded.

When the spring day passed in a hurry, the scorching heat made people lazy, and no one seemed to dare to be evil under the bright and scorching sun, and finally spent the whole summer peacefully, and in July, Hongyan was thinking about the child in the belly of the Buddha.

In the days when Buddha was about to give birth, Hongyan was even more nervous than when she gave birth at the beginning, and every night she was worried about whether Buddha would suddenly give birth, and she didn't dare to sleep all night long. Hongli came at night, and he couldn't sleep well because Hongyan couldn't sleep peacefully, and when he woke up in the middle of the night to see that Hongyan hadn't fallen asleep, he couldn't help but be angry.

"The concubine is worried about her daughter, and the concubine knows how difficult it is to have a child, of course the emperor can't understand it." Seeing that the emperor was angry, Hongyan refused to let go of his nervousness, and emphasized, "Your Majesty, go and rest elsewhere these days." ”

Hongli picked her up and said, "Change your clothes, I will send you to the princess's mansion." ”
