Chapter 93: The Prince is Born
After Kangxi finished speaking, he wiped off the ink on his hands with a handkerchief, and then left as if nothing happened.
Li Dequan hurriedly got up to follow, and before leaving, he said to the palace maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground: "Don't hurry up and clean up the ground." ”
After Li Dequan left, the eunuch in charge of the imperial study hurriedly got up and urged the palace maids and eunuchs below: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Wipe the floor clean, be careful, and be careful not to touch something you shouldn't. Otherwise, you won't have enough to cut off even ten heads. ”
Yunnan, the main hall of Pingxi Wangfu. Wu Sangui sat on the top and looked at the staff on both sides and said, "How are the preparations in the capital?"
"Back to the prince, Jun'er has arrived in the capital, and the personnel and weapons are in place, but the master of the horse has not yet been contacted. I heard that the princess's mansion was surrounded by troops, and there were guards accompanying her when she traveled, and she couldn't get close to the horses for a while. Wang Xijun's father, Wang Shangxian, stepped forward and replied.
"Hmm, let Xijun find a way to contact the colt, and wait for the pony to arrange it then, so as not to mess up the layout of the pony. As for the incident, we will talk about it later, and the time is not yet ripe.
Last time, Henan should be taken as a warning, there are fewer and fewer people who can use it in our hands, and the more we end up, the more we must be cautious. ”
"Yes!"
All the staff members got up and saluted and retired, and Wu Sangui sat alone in the study and pondered.
The youngest son was trapped in the capital by Kangxi's little emperor, which made him have a lot of worries. And this matter is not trivial, once it starts, there is no possibility of stopping, either the Qing Dynasty is destroyed or his Wu family is executed.
Moreover, there is no news from Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, if the three kings are united, the possibility of success is greater.
Wu Sangui thought about it and sent a letter to Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi. Ask them what they think of the current Qing court, and wait for a reply before deciding whether to unite or not.
In fact, Wu Sangui is still hesitating now, he is already a king with a different surname, his status is high enough, and his power is big enough.
I'm getting older, and I'm thinking about a lot of things. Now in Yunnan, he Wu Sangui's words are better than the emperor's holy decree. So, I don't want to take risks too much.
The generals below quarreled and wanted to revolt, but he didn't agree, and he has been pressed by him all the time.
Wu Sangui knew that they wanted to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, but this was a matter of losing their heads, and they couldn't go against the court on impulse.
After writing the letter, Wu Sangui asked someone to send the letter out. walked out of the study and came to the garden, and saw that the favorite concubine Chen Yuanyuan was pruning the flowers, Wu Sangui walked forward with a smile and held Chen Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Just do this kind of rough work for the husband." ”
Chen Yuanyuan turned around and smiled, handed him the scissors in his hand, Wu Sangui asked the maid to help her to wait for him in the pavilion, Chen Yuanyuan still didn't speak, smiled and nodded and sat down in the pavilion with the help of the maid.
Although Chen Yuanyuan was favored by Wu Sangui, she had no son, and her only daughter was lost when she was born.
Since the loss of her daughter, she has lost the meaning of life. Wu Sangui asked her to do whatever she wanted, and she never objected, like a smiling marionette.
Ever since Liu Yu reported the second master, he has been paying attention to the whereabouts of the second master.
The spice shop has been sent to keep an eye on them, but these two masters seem to have evaporated from the world and have never appeared again.
Another month passed, and at this time, there was a big news from the palace that shocked the world.
The queen died shortly after giving birth to a little brother, and the newborn little brother was named the crown prince by the emperor on the spot. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also taken to the Qianqing Palace by the emperor to take care of him personally, and it was useless for the Empress Dowager to stop him.
When the queen died, the entire capital was hung with white flags, and all officials above the fifth grade had to enter the palace to cry for the queen and wear filial piety. Liu Yu also asked the maid to sew her filial piety clothes, and the upper of the shoes was also covered with a white cloth.
Kangxi dropped out of the dynasty for five days, except for the empress dowager and the empress dowager, everyone served vegetarian and laid three times a day. Crying for three days, and then moved to the funeral palace of Gongfengcheng in Beishahe, Kangxi sent it personally.
Three weeks later, he was named Ren Xiao and Empress Chengren.
Due to the death of the queen, the entire capital was plain white, and it was ordered to stop all marriage and entertainment.
The common people lived in seclusion, so as not to be arrested and imprisoned by the officers and soldiers for the crime of great disrespect.
In this way, it was even more difficult for Liu Yu to find the second master, and there was no movement even on the spice shop.
And Wang Xijun, who has been hiding in the princess's mansion, has been looking for an opportunity to get close to the concubine. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed because there were too many guards around him to protect him.
In order not to be exposed, Wang Xijun often worked silently and let other subordinates in the mansion bully.
Later, Wang Xijun finally thought of a way to leave a message without being discovered. Wang Xijun and Ma Ye are both from Yunnan, and Wang Xijun replaced them with symbols that he both understood.
When the colt saw the symbol, he knew that his father had sent someone to pick him up. This concubine didn't like the princess at all, but for the sake of his father's great cause, he had to marry the princess and stay in the capital as a hostage.
Now that he knew that Wang Xijun was coming, the horse was very happy, and his steps were much brisker. The two quickly made an appointment to meet, and after three months of careful planning, they finally made an escape plan.
In the imperial study of the palace, Kangxi also received news from the secret guard, saying that Master Fu Ma has often left the house at night recently and went to a small courtyard in the south of the city.
The guards had also entered the courtyard, and there was no one else in it except the colt and his coachman. What's even more strange is that after the two went in, they disappeared, and they returned to the princess's mansion at the third watch.
The dark guard felt that this small courtyard was unusual, and immediately came back to report to the emperor.
Kangxi received news from the secret guard and thought that Wu Sangui might have a big move, so he immediately summoned Liu Yu into the palace.
Kangxi sent another team of people to Liu Yu and asked her to immediately take someone to watch the horse master. Especially the small courtyard that he frequented at night recently, check what secrets are in this small courtyard?
Liu Yu received the order to divide the team given to her by the emperor into two teams, and took turns to guard around the princess's mansion day and night.
Liu Yu himself stayed at night, because the horses and coachmen would ride the carriage to the small courtyard in the south of the city every night.
If you want to follow them, you can't ride a horse, you can only follow them with light skills. So this tracking matter can only be done by Liu Yu herself.
Finally waiting for night, Liu Yu flew to a big tree outside the princess's mansion and waited for the horse and his coachman to appear.
Approaching midnight, Liu Yu saw a side door of the princess's mansion open, and a carriage came out of the side door and slowly drove towards the south of the city.
Liu Yu hurriedly used light skills to keep up, and followed the carriage to the small courtyard in the south of the city. After the carriage entered the courtyard, Liu Yu followed in.
Liu Yu cautiously followed behind the two, only to see the two of them carrying lanterns to the room in the backyard, and the two closed the door immediately after entering the room.
Liu Yu followed up to the roof, uncovering a tile from it and looking inside. But not to mention the human figure in the room, there was not even a fire.
Obviously watching the two of them go in, how could there be no firelight. Could it be that there are secret rooms here, too?
Thinking that these officials like to dig secret passages in the courtyard or something, Liu Yu quietly climbed in through the window and searched for the mechanism of the secret room in the room.
In order not to alarm the people inside like last time, Liu Yu took out a night pearl the size of a fingernail from the space to illuminate it.
