Seeing this, Xiao Ningzi quickly took out the ointment to treat the burns and applied it carefully on Nala, "Master, if the emperor doesn't allow it, then you won't allow it. Why are you so angry?"
Nala snorted coldly: "Can I not be angry? The emperor has taken care of Hongzhan for so long, and the emperor has not even said a kind word. Now I beg you in a low voice, but I still refuse to officially return Hongzhan to my name."
Xiao Ningzi handed the ointment to the palace servant and said: "I feel that although the emperor did not blame the master for Liu's matter, he is still suspicious of the master, just like he was suspicious of the second elder brother."
Nala also thought of this, and said rather irritably: "So, there is no way at all?"
Usually Xiao Ningzi can always come up with various ideas, but this time he was silent. After a long time, he said: "Unless the master can dispel the emperor's suspicion, once the emperor is free, I am afraid that the six will be destroyed."
Brother, take it away."
As soon as he heard this, Nala's whole body tensed up and he said sternly: "Take it away? Take it to where?"
"I heard that after Concubine Xi took the money, I don't know what she said to the emperor, and the relationship has eased a lot. I spent the first two nights with her in the Yangxin Hall. Maybe she will encourage the emperor to hand over the sixth brother to her to raise...
"
"She dares!" Although Nala immediately interrupted Xiao Ningzi, there was a hint of panic in her voice. At this time when Hongshi fell out of favor, she urgently needed a child to maintain her status in the palace, so
Hongzhan must not be lost. But can she keep Hongzhan now? No, she does not have the confidence!
Although Xiao Ningzi didn't speak, her expression told Nala that once Yinzhen spoke, no matter what she thought, Hongzhan would definitely be taken away, and all her hard work would be in vain.
Nala rubbed her forehead vigorously, and her head, which had been fine just now, began to hurt again, and the pain became more and more unbearable for her. She said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Ningzi, light some incense! Hurry up!"
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly asked someone to bring incense and a sterling silver Boshan stove. As soon as he lit it, he came closer and sucked hard. After a few puffs, the pain in his head slowly subsided, but the pain in his heart gradually subsided.
Still very depressed.
Xiao Ningzi opened the lid and added another spoonful of spices to make the aroma stronger, "Master, are you feeling better?"
Just as Nala was about to speak, Hongshi strode in. He was surprised when he smelled the overly strong aroma in the room. He remembered that Nala didn't like burning incense, so why did he burn incense now?
Thinking like this, he quickly came to Nala's side and said with concern: "Empress Huang, what's wrong with you? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll call the imperial doctor right now."
"No need." Nala held his hand and said weakly: "I'm fine. I just had a sudden headache. I'm much better now."
Hongshi looked up and down, and after confirming that Nala's face was just a little pale, he felt relieved, "I remember that Huang's mother didn't like burning incense, so why did she light such a heavy incense this time? And this
The fragrance is like nothing I’ve ever smelled before.”
Xiao Ningzi answered on his behalf: "Returning to the second elder brother, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a new kind of incense a few days ago, which is said to have the effect of calming and soothing the mind. After the master used it once, he found that it had the effect of soothing headaches, so
Commonly used these days.”
Hongshi said in surprise: "Oh, it has such a good effect. What kind of fragrance is this? What spices are used to make it?"
"Manager Qian said it is called Jingxin Incense. As for what kind of spice... I only know that there is agarwood in it, but I don't know about the others. It's just that this incense is very rare, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't often have it. Now the ones stored in the palace are already
All is used up, I will have to ask the money manager later to see if there is any more."
Hongshi thought for a while and said, "I'd better go and ask what ingredients this incense is made from. If it's convenient for me to have someone prepare it according to the recipe, it will save you the trouble."
After saying this for a few words, he turned his attention to Nala and asked, "Would you like to go into the inner hall to rest?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. I was just a little upset and had a headache." Upon hearing this, Hongshi immediately lowered his face and said, "Has Concubine Xi made you angry again?"
Xiao Ningzi said quickly: "Concubine Pingxi is not capable of making the master so angry. He is the emperor."
"Huang Ama, what's wrong with him?" In the Kunning Palace where there were no outsiders, Hongshi didn't have much respect when he mentioned Yinzhen, as if he was not his Ama.
Nala glanced at Xiao Ningzi, who immediately told what had just happened, and then said: "What the master is most worried about now is that the emperor will hand over the sixth elder brother to Concubine Xi to raise him. In this way,
Concubine Xi now has two princes in her hands, which is a great disadvantage to you."
Xiao Ningzi's words were clever. She did not reveal too much about Nala's intention to raise Hongzhan. Instead, she emphasized her tone and said that losing Hongzhan to Ling Ruo would be a great disadvantage to him.
Hongshi snorted softly and said: "If she wants to take it away, take it away. She is just a three-year-old baby, what use can it have?"
Nala said with a kind face: "You can't say that. The more chips she has, the worse it will be for us. Even if it's for you, Huang's mother will never hand over the sixth brother to her easily."
Hongshi didn't speak, and after a long time he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Empress Huang, do you think Huang Ama will still pass the throne to his sons? In Huang Ama's heart, only Hongli is his son, and the others
They are just insignificant chess pieces, and he will not feel sorry for them no matter how much they are discarded. I understood this truth as early as when Hongli came back from Fuzhou, but at that time there was still a trace of fantasy in my heart. Now that I think about it,
It’s really ridiculous.”
Nala stroked his face and said: "Oh, it was Huang's mother who wronged you. If Huang's mother had not been useless and could not get the favor of your emperor, the matter would not have been like this."
"It has nothing to do with Huang's mother." After ordering all the palace people except Xiao Ningzi to go out, Hongshi fell on Nala's lap and said softly: "Huang's mother, do you know that the Buddha statue has been brought with you?
The army went out to fight, and now all the affairs of the infantry yamen are left to Akshan and Wu Jing. Although Wu Jing is the deputy commander, he is also a Han. There are not many people in the infantry yamen who really obey him. The one who always has the upper hand is Ah
Keshan."
Nala's eyes lit up and he said: "You mean, you are sure to control the infantry yamen?"
Hongshi showed a weird smile, "I dare not say 100%, but the success is still there. Akshan was able to rise all the way from an ordinary Eight Banners disciple to deputy commander. His uncle helped him a lot. He
There is no doubt about your loyalty to us, as my uncle said
A person who can be absolutely trusted, and he has secretly gathered a large group of confidants in the infantry yamen. Originally, even with the Buddha's standard suppressing him, nothing could be done, but now that the Buddha's standard is gone, no one can suppress him. In other words, as long as
I think the Infantry Yamen can be used by us at any time."
