"It should be soon." After Yinzhen answered vaguely, he asked a few questions about Hongzhan's homework. Seeing that his answers were fluent, he was very happy. He called Hongzhan closer and said, "Pay more attention to studying and practicing martial arts. When you grow up,
When you grow up, you can be a pillar of the Qing Dynasty and take up the responsibilities when the Qing Dynasty needs it, just like your thirteenth uncle and seventeenth uncle."
"Yes, I know." At this point, Hongzhan said cautiously: "Huang Ama, can I ask you something?"
"What's the matter?" Facing Yinzhen's inquiry, Hongzhan wrung his fingers and said, "My son... I want to ask the emperor to forgive my mother-in-law."
The smile on Yinzhen's face froze instantly with his words, and he said coldly: "What did you say?"
Hongzhan heard the displeasure in his words and quickly knelt down and said: "I don't know what kind of mistakes E Niang has made before, but I saw with my own eyes the suffering E Niang suffered in Xinzheku.
Years ago, she has been enduring such labor for five years. As a son of a human being, she is powerless. She has not even looked at her in the past five years.
She, my son, is really unworthy of being a son of a human being. The master once said that filial piety comes first, but my son has been extremely unfilial in the past five years. Emperor Ama, no matter how wrong I am, these five years have been enough to repay you.
Please forgive her for leaving the Xinzheku, so that my sons and ministers can fulfill their filial piety as a son of man, and not become an unfaithful and unfilial person."
"You talk to me about kindness and filial piety?" Yinzhen sneered: "Do you know how Mrs. Liu used you to harm others? Do you know the wrong things she did?" Seeing that Hongzhan could not answer,
Said, the smile on his face became colder and colder, "You come and tell me this without knowing anything. Where have you read all the books you have read over the years? As early as when the Liu family was imprisoned in Xinzheku, I
I said you don’t have such a sweetheart."
"Huang Ama, there are no bad parents in the world. After all, she is my biological mother. She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to me. Do you really want me to watch her suffer?"
Yinzhen broke away from the sleeve that was being pulled by Hong Zhan and said coldly: "She brought all this on herself. I'm extremely merciful by leaving her a way to survive."
"Where are you? What should I do? I will never feel at ease in my life. Moreover, I see that my mother is already in poor health. If I continue to stay in Xinzheku, I will die. Huang Ama
, just take pity on her and let go
Let her go. E Niang said that she is willing to be a palace maid serving tea and water. I believe she will say this, but she knew that she was wrong about the past. Don't you often say that those who know their mistakes can change them?
It’s for bravery and kindness, my mother..."
Yinzhen interrupted him sharply: "Don't tell me this, you can correct your mistakes if you know them... Huh, I didn't see it."
Hongzhan was frightened by his anger, but he still said bravely: "You have never been to Xinzheku, so how do you know if E Niang has repented? Otherwise, you can send E Niang to ask questions, so...
"
"No need, I don't have that much time to listen to those false words she said. I've already heard enough." At this point, Yinzhen suddenly remembered something, stared at Hongzhan and said: "How did you meet Liu?
, who asked you to go to Xinzheku? Are you a concubine?"
Hongzhan didn't expect that he would ask this suddenly. He panicked and said quickly: "It's none of the concubine's business. It was the son who asked her to take the son there. Emperor Ama, don't blame her."
Yinzhen ignored him and said: "If anyone comes, go and tell him that he will become a concubine immediately."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu shrank his neck and left. Not long after, Dai Jia hurriedly walked into the Yangxin Hall. Before she could salute, Yinzhen had already shouted and asked: "You took Hongzhan to Xinzheku, didn't you?"
?Who allowed you to do this?"
Dai Jia didn't expect such a situation when she arrived, and she thought nervously: "I... I couldn't bear to see the sixth elder brother missing his mother so much, so she boldly took the sixth elder brother to Xinzheku.
I just glanced at Mr. Liu, didn’t wait long, and asked your Majesty to forgive me.”
Yinzhen sneered and said, "Just for a look? Do you know why he came to see me today? It's for the Liu family. He wants me to forgive the Liu family from Xin Zheku."
Dai Jiashi glanced at Hongzhan angrily, and said in a panic: "I really don't know about this matter, otherwise I won't let the sixth elder brother come here. Your Majesty, please remember the sixth elder brother."
For the sake of his youth, don’t argue with him.”
Yinzhen said angrily: "He is young, are you young too? You even agreed to go to Xinzheku, and you kept it from me. If you dote on him like this, will you agree to it next time he wants to leave the palace privately?
.”
Dai Jiashi knelt down and said, "I know my mistake. I promise that there will be no next time. I will definitely discipline my sixth elder brother."
"Remember your words, I don't want it to happen again. Stand down!" Yinzhen's words made Dai Jiashi breathe a sigh of relief, quickly thanked him, and then extended his hand to Hongzhan, "Hongzhan, why don't you hurry up and come to this palace?"
Come here."
Hongzhan stood up, but did not listen to Dai Jia's words. Instead, he stared at Yinzhen and said angrily: "Huang Ama, why are you so harsh on E Niang? She is also your concubine, and she also had sex with you."
Sleeping in the same bed, do you really want to torture her to death?"
Yinzhen was so angry at his question that he slapped the table hard and said word by word: "Even if it comes to that moment, she deserves it. You go back with Concubine Cheng immediately, otherwise you will enter Xinzhe's library without permission."
I will not forgive you lightly!"
Hongzhan bit his lip hard and said: "If my mother dies, I will..."
Yinzhen said coldly: "You don't want to live anymore, do you? When you were two or three years old, I could treat you as young and ignorant and not care about your faults, but now that you are almost ten years old, don't you still know what is right and what is wrong?
Is it wrong? Do you want to die? Let you die and I will never stop you!"
These words frightened Dai Jiashi, and she quickly said: "Your Majesty, Brother Six is a child after all. Why do you have to be angry with him? Besides, he only spoke like this out of filial piety. Concubine
After you take him back, you must tell him properly to calm down."
Yinzhen snorted coldly and said: "You have taught him for so many years, has he listened? I'm afraid that even if you teach him for ten or twenty years, he will still be like this bastard."
Hongzhan wiped the tears from his eyes, stood up and choked with sobs: "It's not that I don't know the mistakes E Niang has made, but after so many years, she has been tortured to pieces by you, isn't it enough? Why do you have to let her
Die of old age in Xin Zhe's library?"
"You want to know? Okay, I'll tell you!" Yinzhen stared at Hongzhan who refused to give in and said: "I may be able to forgive some people who use tricks to compete for favor and status, but I will never forgive a person who uses tricks to fight for favor and status.
A person who uses tricks to get her own son. Do you know that in her eyes, you are just a pawn and a tool. How can such a woman be worthy of being my son's mother, and how can she be worthy of stepping out of Xinzheku."
