After Hongli's memorial tablet and coffin were taken out, Yuqing Palace was re-sealed and would only be reopened when the next prince was canonized.
As soon as he was free, Hongshi couldn't wait to rush to Kunning Palace. Due to the dry weather these days, Nala's face was allergic, painful and itchy, and even applying medicine didn't work. Xiao Ningzi took the medicine that had been saved before.
Soak dried marigold flowers in water and rub Nala's cheeks continuously to reduce swelling and pain.
Seeing Hongshi coming in, Nala said warmly: "You have been keeping watch for three days without sleep. You must be tired. Go back and have a good rest. There is no need to make a special trip to pay my respects to me."
Hongshi looked solemn and said: "My son, I have a few important words to say to the emperor."
Nala's eyes moved, and she motioned for the palace people to go down, leaving only Xiao Ningzi who was applying her face, "What's the matter again?"
"Actually, there are two things that I have wanted to tell you to Huang's mother for a long time, but I have never been able to find the opportunity." Hongshi lowered his voice and said: "Huang's mother, Huang Ama may have suspected my son."
In this way, he said again what Yinzhen asked him two days ago, as well as the doubts in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Nala frowned greatly. If Yinzhen suspected it, it would be troublesome. "What about one more thing?"
"I suspect..." Hong Shi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "I suspect that Hong Li is not dead!"
"What did you say? Say it again?" If Nala just frowned just now, then this time he was really shocked. Even Xiao Ningzi dropped the face towel in his hand.
"Before, Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin mentioned in Yuqing Palace that Hongli carried the jade pendant given to him by Concubine Jin, but it was not found on the body. Concubine Jin suspected that it might have been dropped during a previous fight, but Er Chen
I was always next to Hongli at that time, and I knew very well that nothing fell from Hongli’s body.”
Nala's face was ugly and he said: "But weren't you sure that the charred corpse was Hongli before? You also killed him with your own hands."
Hongshi lowered his head and said: "Although I also think this matter is unlikely, I am afraid of nothing but the worst. It is absolutely true that there is no jade pendant on the scorched corpse." At this point, he was hard-pressed.
She said in a panic: "Empress Huang, if Hongli is not dead, then... what should we do?"
Nala stood up and walked back and forth in the hall, thinking: "Your uncle said that the bodies of Zhaohui and Agui were not found. If Hongli was not dead, he must have been rescued by them. So,
As long as we capture these two people, we have captured Hongli."
Hongshi nodded, "But what if they hide Hongli and prevent us from finding him?"
After forcing himself to calm down, Nala sneered: "Hide it? Can you hide it for a lifetime? If you were Hongli, what would be the first thing you would do if you didn't die?"
"Of course he came back to seek revenge on the person who harmed him!" Although there was a charcoal pot burning in the house, Hongshi still felt his hands and feet were cold, "But even if Erchen's knife didn't kill him, it must have seriously injured him, so that's why
He hasn’t shown up yet, but as soon as he recovers from his injury, he will definitely come back!”
Nala stroked her cheek that started to sting again and narrowed her eyes: "Yes, he will definitely come back, so as long as we guard the nine gates of the capital, we will be able to wait and catch these three missed fish! I will ask your uncle to strengthen
The manpower will keep an eye on the people who enter and leave the nine gates every day, and if they are discovered, they will kill them without mercy."
Hongshi had no idea at this moment. He kept nodding his head while listening to Nala's words, and said nervously: "Yes, we must catch them, and we must not let them see Huang Ama!"
"I will arrange the things outside well, but inside the palace you can only look at yourself. Since your Emperor Ama has become suspicious, people will definitely keep an eye on your every move. You should be more careful yourself. And, absolutely
Don’t show any guilty expression in front of your emperor!”
Hongshi nodded and asked nervously: "In this case, can I no longer go to Prince Lian's Mansion? In this case, the emperor's mother-in-law asked her son to persuade the eighth uncle, isn't it..."
"Let me think about this. In short, without me, you must not go to Prince Lian's Mansion, or even get close. Do you understand me clearly?"
"My son, I must remember the Emperor's mother's instructions." Hongshi agreed hastily. At this time, he had no guts to disobey Nala.
After giving instructions to Hongshi, Nala said to himself: "But this matter cannot be delayed any longer. It must be resolved as soon as possible."
In the following days, spies who had been ordered by Yinzhen and private guards of various major families were all operating secretly in the capital, and most of their actions revolved around Prince Lian's palace, which seemed to be related to
The usual Prince Lian's Mansion has actually been watched by several groups of people. Anyone who comes in or out is carefully investigated, even the farmers delivering food are no exception.
Yunhu was not unaware of this situation. Ada had already told him exactly what happened when Hongshi was attacked. In this situation of uncertainty, he did not act rashly and pretended not to know anything. Just like usual,
So be it.
Every few days, Yunhu would go riding alone in the suburbs of Beijing. Although the weather is getting colder, this habit has not changed.
That day, he rode a horse from Prince Lian's Mansion all the way to the outskirts of Beijing, looking almost infatuated at the endless green mountains in the distance. This great country should have belonged to him, but it was abandoned by that good fourth brother.
Take it away and make it impossible for him to sit on the throne in this life.
However, he won't just let it go. What he can't get, no one else can do it; if he doesn't turn the Qing Dynasty upside down, he won't be called Yunhu!
No, his name was not Yunhu, his name was Yinhu. He was forced to change his name. One day, he will restore his correct name!
Just as Yunhu was swearing secretly, the sound of horse hoofs was heard in his ears. Following the sound, he saw a group of maroon horses running towards him. They ran until they were in front of him and then stopped. There was no one on the horse, only a horse was released.
I was writing a letter, and there was no one else around. It was obvious that the letter was for myself.
Yunhu opened the letter and looked at it. There was only a strange line written in it: Please come and talk about it.
Just when he was puzzled, there was a whistle in the distance. The bay-red horse that had been waiting quietly just now suddenly raised its front hoofs and neighed, then turned around and ran in the direction in which it came. Yunsu hesitated for a moment and then started riding.
After following him for a long time, the bay-red horse slowed down, and by this time, they were already on a mountainside.
When the bay-red horse came to a complete stop, a middle-aged man flashed out from behind a tree with only a few yellow leaves hanging on the branches. He hugged Yunhu and said, "Greetings to Prince Lian, my master is waiting above.
