"Hongli is the smartest among my sons, and he is also kind-hearted. Emperor Ama praised Hongli a lot when he was still alive, but he was slightly lacking in experience and experience. That's why Hongshi proposed to let Hongli start earlier.
When entering the dynasty for training
, I agreed, just thinking that Hongli could take charge earlier, and then I could safely hand over the Qing Dynasty to him. But in the end, I personally killed my chosen heir, Yunxiang, what do you think?
Ridiculous or not!”
Yunxiang didn't laugh, but Yinzhen laughed loudly himself, but the laughter was as miserable as a crow flying by at night.
Yunxiang took Yinzhen's arm and said, "Fourth Brother, don't be like this. Brother Chen said that Fourth Brother's death had nothing to do with you. It was all an accident."
"But I can't forgive myself, Yunxiang, I can't pass my own test!" Yinzhen looked at Yunxiang with red eyes, "And Ling Ruo, I don't know how to face her, how to tell her
Hongli is her lifeblood, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear this bad news!"
Yunxiang said with tears: "My brother knows, I know everything. It is precisely because my sister-in-law regards Hongli as her lifeblood and cannot bear the blow that the emperor must hold on. Otherwise, if you are like this, what do you want your sister-in-law to do?"
?”
Yinzhen shook his head sadly, "Yunxiang, in all these years, I have never regretted it for a moment like this. I...I really regret it. I promised Ling Ruo that I would definitely let the two Hongli brothers return safely.
, I will never break my promise, but now... I have really broken my promise."
Yunxiang had never seen Yinzhen look so helpless, and advised: "No one wants to see this happen. My sister-in-law has always been a sensible person, and she will definitely understand and understand the emperor. Besides, no matter what the emperor does,
I blame myself, even the fourth elder brother can't survive, and since I can't reverse what happened, I can only think about how to remedy it and make the living feel better."
Yinzhen nodded. At this moment, Sixi knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi wishes to see you."
"Ruo'er!" Yinzhen whispered, not knowing whether he should see her or not. Although he felt better after Yunxiang's persuasion, he still hadn't figured out how to face Ling Ruo. After thinking about it, he said hoarsely: "I
I am discussing something with Prince Yi, so let Concubine Xi go back first."
"Hey!" As Sixi agreed, the shadow reflected on the window paper quickly disappeared, and no sound was heard again.
Yunxiang saw Yinzhen's conflicting thoughts and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have to tell my sister-in-law sooner or later. I can't hide it for long."
"I know." Yinzhen took a deep breath and said, "But please slow down first and let me think about how to tell her."
Yunxiang responded, and then said: "Since the second elder brother is fine, why not let him take people back to Beijing first, and the fourth elder brother's... corpse must be brought back as soon as possible." He said the word "corpse" with great effort.
, he watched Hongli grow up with his own eyes. Now he is still alive and well with his sick bones, but Hongli is no longer alive. God is really unfair.
Yinzhen said sadly: "I will ask someone to do it. I promised that after this errand is completed, I will make Hongli a prince. Although he is gone now, I must do what I said, and I plan to pursue him."
If you want to make him a prince, you can think of a word for me to use as a title."
Yunxiang thought for a while and said: "The fourth elder brother is the son of the fourth brother and his sister-in-law. He is also the treasure in the hearts of the two of you. No one can replace him, so why not use the word treasure as the title."
"Prince Bao...Prince Bao..." Yinzhen murmured and repeated, nodded and said: "Yes, Hongli is an irreplaceable treasure in my and Concubine Xi's hearts. Prince Bao, very good, I will use this as my title.
Make him a prince."
Prince Bao was originally supposed to be granted a title, but now it has become a posthumous title. The difference of one word can mean the difference between life and death.
"The matter is over, Your Majesty..." Before Yunxiang could finish his words, Yinzhen suddenly interrupted him and said coldly: "You are wrong, the matter is far from over. Those people in Lianjiang County, I must
We must find it and cut it into pieces one by one to avenge Hongli!"
Yunxiang didn't say anything. If it were an ordinary citizen, he might have tried to persuade Yinzhen, who was in a rage, but those people in Lianjiang County were obviously not. They were a group of lunatics, a group of lunatics who were addicted to eating human flesh.
They are not humans, but beasts. Keeping such a group of people will only bring danger to Fuzhou Prefecture, which is returning to normal, and cause more people to be injured. They must be eradicated.
Yunxiang stayed in the Yangxin Hall until the sun went down. He left the palace after seeing that Yinzhen was in a better mood. After he left, Yinzhen flipped through a booklet on the desk, but could not read a single word. Instead, he read more and more.
Feeling annoyed, he threw the folder on the table and stood up and walked out.
Seeing him coming out, Sixi and Su Peisheng rushed to greet him and said, "Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen said impatiently: "Don't follow me, I will go on my own!"
Si Xi knew what was causing Yinzhen's bad mood, so he would not approach him uninterested. However, Su Peisheng didn't know. Seeing Si Xi stop, he chased after her to please her and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting dark soon.
, let me follow you."
Yinzhen stopped suddenly, stared at Su Peisheng and said coldly: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? Get out of here!"
Su Peisheng was scolded for no reason and retreated in disgrace, not daring to say another word.
After leaving Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen walked aimlessly. When he stopped, he found himself standing in front of Chengqian Palace.
Ruo'er... Thinking of Ling Ruo, Yinzhen felt a twinge in his heart. In this world, the person he least wanted to hurt was Ling Ruo, but over the years, he had hurt her again and again, and now... Alas!
After hesitating for a long time, Yinzhen finally walked in. As soon as he reached the courtyard, Ling Ruo, who had gained the palace's approval, had already hurried out to greet him, "I, my concubine, are here to see you, Your Majesty. Good luck to Your Majesty."
"Get up." Yinzhen helped her up and said softly, enduring the sadness in his heart: "It's windy outside, what are you doing out here?"
Ling Ruo chuckled and said, "The emperor is here, why don't I welcome you?" After entering the palace with Yinzhen, she said with concern: "I heard that the emperor did not attend the morning court today. Are you feeling unwell? I had been there before.
I went to Yangxin Hall, but the emperor was discussing matters with Prince Yi at that time, so I did not disturb him."
"I'm fine. I just felt a little headache when I woke up in the morning, so I took a rest for the day. Now I'm fine."
"It's okay." With that said, the palace servant brought tea. When Ling Ruo took it and handed it to Yinzhen, she found that his eyes were a little red and said in surprise: "Why are the emperor's eyes red?
What happened?"
Yinzhen didn't expect that she would notice this, so he quickly covered it up and said, "Are your eyes red? Maybe when you came here just now, the wind accidentally blew sand into your eyes, so they are red. It will be fine after a while."
