Chapter 229: The Killer (Part II)
The melodious sound of the piano drifted through the noisy streets into my ears, and Hibiscus's piano skills were taken to the next level. My sedan chair slowly passed by the room where Fleur Fuqin was playing, and I gently lifted the curtain of the sedan window and looked up, just in time to meet the majestic gaze looking out. In Gentle Township, he sensed me.
Ay! He was angry with me, and he actually went to the Qinglou alone! Even though I knew that Mighty wouldn't have anything to do with Fleur, I was still uncomfortable.
I rode back to the palace in a sedan chair, and did not wait for the might. I don't know why this is happening, I just know that I'm angry.
Wei Wu didn't come to me to explain it again, and the two of us gambled on each other like this, and we didn't get along with each other.
Just after the New Year, the entire Shengjing was still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the festival, and the bad news suddenly came from Guan Ju Palace: the eighth elder brother was seriously ill. This noble and weak life, which carried all the hopes of Huang Taiji and was regarded as the "divine mandate of heaven", died after only three days.
For a time, the entire Houjin was shrouded in the grief of the emperor's loss of his son, and even the good news that Concubine Zhuang gave birth to the emperor's ninth son two days later was overwhelmed by this heavy grief.
Hai Lanzhu couldn't stand the pain of losing her son, and burst into tears all day long, crying to the point of sadness and even fainting several times. After that, the imperial doctor carefully conditioned it but did not have any effect, she was still depressed and unhappy, and she did not smile, and even Huang Taiji could not make her really happy.
Huang Taiji was busy with government affairs, and he had to prepare for Fa Ming, and he spent much less time with Hai Lanzhu than before. But he still doted on her as always, he was afraid that Hai Lanzhu would be depressed, so he instructed Zhezhe and Bumu Butai to accompany Hai Lanzhu, and even ordered that the ninth elder brother was not allowed to leave the elder brother's office, lest Hai Lanzhu encounter a touch of injury in the palace.
Huang Taiji's order was extremely unfair to Bumu Butai, but she endured it silently. Since Hai Lanzhu entered the palace, she has suffered a lot of injustices: she has lost her favor, she has to design a competition for favor in order to see her husband, she has no husband's care when she is pregnant, and she has no husband's cold and warmth after giving birth, and even her children are not favored by their fathers...... However, she endured all this. She is not blindly giving in and being slaughtered, what I see is that she can bend and stretch, and there is great wisdom hidden behind the kindness and weakness, she is just temporarily restraining her edge.
I thought that as soon as Huang Taiji's order came out, Dolgon would have to hold grievances for Bumu Butai again. To my surprise, Dorgon was very calm this time. He only looked at me with a complicated expression, neither happy nor sad, and only said something meaningful to himself: Eighth Elder Brother is here, whether it is fortunate or unfortunate for me and Da Yu'er, it is really unpredictable.
I admit that Dolgon's words make perfect sense. Huang Taiji originally wanted to make the eighth elder brother the crown prince, but the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Su Haoge, would definitely obstruct it and shift the focus of his struggle to the eighth elder brother. Now that the eighth elder brother has died and the position of the crown prince is vacant, the contradiction between Hauge and Dorgon has been highlighted again and put on the bright side. And Mubu Butai's ninth elder brother Fulin, when he was born, coincided with the death of the eighth elder brother, Huang Taiji was immersed in the grief of losing his beloved son, and he ignored this newborn son. It can be said that as soon as Brother Jiu was born, he lost his father's favor. However, sometimes obscurity is not necessarily a good thing in the royal family.
Before, I only thought about getting rid of Lan'er and Huang Taiji's sons and paving the way for Dolgon, but I didn't think too much about it, but I didn't expect to cause a very embarrassing situation now. I was thankless with Dorgon, and although his attitude towards me was as polite and respectful as ever, there was a growing mixture of detachment and coldness, even suspicion. For the sake of Lan'er and the Eighth Elder Brother, the Cold War between me and the mighty Elder Brother has not been reconciled so far, if he knows that I still kill the Eighth Elder Brother after all, I don't know how to feel.
I rubbed my swollen head, and suddenly I felt so discouraged.
