The next day, Brother Jiu came to Beijing again.

He thought clearly that the events of the past two days could not be hidden from the emperor.

When the Holy Emperor comes out of the Zhai Palace tomorrow, the news will be passed on, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely be asked about the response.

It's better not to be an eyesore at this time.

Shushu here is at leisure.

She didn't make any arrangements to return to Beijing in advance. It only took a few days, but she still planned to return to Beijing with the large army.

Yesterday Brother Jiu brought back a lot of Ginkgo biloba, so Shu Shu sent Ginkgo and Xiaosong to North Garden and Changchun Garden to give a copy.

She also asked Mrs. Bo, "Would you like to give a copy to your uncle and aunt?"

Mrs. Bo shook her head and said, "No, you don't need to get too close to them."

Shu Shu didn't say anything else.

She didn't have a good impression of the former prince's uncle, who was greedy for money. In the past, she promised Guizhen to raise Yangzi for the sake of property, and later she was still thinking about picking up his wife after his death.

It’s not that they have a deep love for each other, but they are thinking about Mrs. Uncle’s dowry.

It has been twenty years since I was dismissed from the throne, and I have become a useless person. I have long lost my spirit, and only greed and lust are left.

The uncle said: "Not only here at Haidian Courtyard, but also at the County Prince's Mansion. It's just a matter of friendship between you, and there's no need to get too close."

Prince Shuncheng is a concubine, or a concubine born of his maid and concubine.

This upbringing made Madam Bo feel uneasy.

Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, Ah Mou. With Master Jiu's identity here, who dares to bully him?"

The uncle said: "It is dark to be close to Mo, because I am afraid that I will abduct Master Jiu."

Shu Shu said: "It will be good to pass it on to another generation."

Then the palace ecosystem will be normal...

In the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth felt that something was not normal.

It's so peaceful.

No one came to watch the fun.

He looked at the silence at the door and asked the twelfth elder brother: "What's going on? Yesterday's news didn't spread?"

The twelfth elder brother thought for a while and said: "Everyone is not familiar with the fourteenth elder brother, and no one will ask specifically after hearing these two sentences. The thirteenth elder brother is the most concerned, so he should ask the fourth elder brother directly."

Brother Jiu was a little disappointed and said: "I forgot about this..."

Brother Twelve said: "Yesterday, Concubine De's mother returned to Yonghe Palace, bringing two more people with her than when she left the East Sixth Palace."

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "What can we do if we don't bring them back? If we really leave people in my brother's place, I will go over the Khan Ama and send people to my brother's place. The consequences will be much more serious than beating the palace people..."

Brother Twelve, shut up and say nothing else.

*

At the Hubu Yamen, the thirteenth elder brother sent someone down to mention this matter to the fourth elder brother.

"Fourth brother, news has spread in the palace. It is said that the concubine's mother sent people to visit the fourteenth brother. As a result, the palace people were unruly and acted frivolously. The concubine found out and chased and beat her..."

As Brother Thirteen said, he felt something was wrong.

When a palace concubine deals with palace people, what method is not enough and she still has to chase them out and beat them?

It was related to the Fourteenth Brother, and the Thirteenth Brother was sure that it was the Fourteenth Brother who caused the trouble.

The fourth elder brother looked indifferent and was not surprised by this result.

Even if Brother Fourteen didn't speak yesterday, now that Concubine De has passed, she would still think of helping Brother Fourteen.

It's just that her initial plan was to pin the label of hurting others on her head.

Brother Ninth got in the way and mixed things up, which led to the awkward situation now.

This is the calf protector.

He is not a bold person, but he dares to confuse right and wrong.

The key is to let innocent people lose their reputation for innocence.

The Thirteenth Brother is not an outsider, and the Fourth Brother did not hide anything from him. He told him about yesterday afternoon's farce, but he just concealed the sentence "unfilial and unfriendly".

The thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but feel scared after hearing this, and said: "Fortunately, the ninth brother and the twelfth brother also went."

Otherwise, the fourth brother will be criticized today.

The prince who had already been granted a title and opened a palace went to the inner court to beat the palace maids. I don't know how this was spread, and it was inevitable that the matter between men and women would be mentioned.

The fourth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said, "If someone comes out from here to send a message and asks you to come over, just push it away and don't go to see him, so as not to get involved."

The fourteenth elder brother is cold-hearted, ungrateful and does not think well, so he should avoid it to avoid suffering.

Brother Thirteen hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He was a younger brother who grew up together. If he didn't care about the brotherhood at all, he would be deceiving himself, but he was a little scared.

As a son, he doesn't want to be filial to his parents, but gets into trouble and wants his biological mother to apologize. This thirteenth brother really cannot accept it.

Concubine De...

The thirteenth elder brother became worried and said: "Fourth brother, will you be implicated?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "No, there is an example of the third elder brother."

Concubine Rong was demoted to the throne and sealed the palace, which did not implicate the third elder brother and Princess Rongxian.

At noon, Brother Jiu didn't want to mess around with his meal and wanted to go back to Changchun Garden directly.

On a hot day, I don’t have much appetite, so the side dishes at home are more delicious.

Just as he was about to leave, guests arrived.

It's Buxi.

Bu Xi has a first-class bodyguard attached to him, so he is naturally well-informed.

It's just that the palace's rhetoric seems to be contradictory.

When it came to Concubine De and Brother Fourteen, they were his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Since it was hard to hide it from the family, they told Jiu Gege.

Jiu Gege was extremely worried and went to Sibeile Mansion to inquire about the news.

Yesterday, May 15th, was the day when Sifu Jin entered the palace to pay his respects.

Here in Buxi, come directly to Brother Jiu to inquire.

Although Brother Jiu knows the inside story, since Concubine De has changed her rhetoric to the outside world, it is difficult for him to undermine her, otherwise it will become a matter of stirring up trouble.

He said: "I heard a thing or two this morning, and I was confused. I heard several rhetoric."

Bu Xi said: "Princess is not at ease, worried about the empress and the fourteenth brother."

Brother Jiu said: "Then please hand over the sign to say hello. Xiao Jiu has the palace sign, which makes it easy to come in and out."

Bu Xi said: "Princess goes to Sibeile Mansion first. She wants to ask Sifujin first."

The ninth elder brother said in confusion: "What are you asking the fourth sister-in-law for? The fourth sister-in-law no longer lives in the palace..."

Bu Xi said: "It was fifteen yesterday..."

Every fifth and tenth day is the day when Prince Fujin comes to the palace to pay his respects.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "After the Queen Mother went to Changchun Garden, several concubines asked the sisters-in-law to stop and pay their respects."

Although Buxi was a bodyguard, he was working in front of the Forbidden City and didn't really know anything about the affairs of the inner court.

He looked sarcastic and said: "Then the princess wants to run away for nothing..."

Brother Jiu didn't say anything.

He was not familiar with Bu Xi, his brother-in-law.

Also, I am somewhat wary of the Tong family.

Tong family......

The timing of Suo'etu's execution and Tong Guowei's suspension was too coincidental.

Just after the Forbidden City big rope the year before last.

It's scary to think about it.

Bu Xi saw that the ninth elder brother was not enthusiastic and the twelfth elder brother was silent, so he decided to leave.

The ninth elder brother found it boring and told the twelfth elder brother: "Don't be too serious when you meet Bu Xi in the future. He is a member of the Tong family and is just a relative. He is not one of our own."

Can two people come out of one family?
