"I have not prohibited her freedom in the house." Yinzhen was quite surprised. According to his previous words, Tong Jia's confinement was limited to the Old Summer Palace.
Nala sighed and said: "That's what I said, but without the prince, how could sister Tong dare to take even half a step out of Lanxin Pavilion? Even if I tried to persuade her to dry her mouth, it would not help. I looked at her belly day by day.
It’s really unbearable for people to lose weight day by day even though they are getting bigger.” At this point, she winked at Lu Yi, and then
The reader immediately and knowingly took out a book from the secret compartment of the small table. Nala took it in his hand and rubbed it gently before handing it to Yinzhen, "Fourth Master, look at it, this is the scripture copied by Sister Tong.
Every word is her hard work! I don’t know what she committed, but I can see her repentance from the Buddhist scriptures."
Nala's words were so emotional that Yinzhen was quite moved. When he opened the scripture, he saw that every word on it was neat and meticulous, and no traces of erasure or scrawling could be seen. His intention was evident.
The scriptures were turned page by page in Yinzhen's hands, and the "rustling" sound caused by the friction of the paper became the only sound in the Hollow Cloud Kaiyue Pavilion at this moment, other than breathing.
In that silence, Ling Ruo's hand holding the handkerchief was trembling slightly. Although Tong Jia's resurgence made her angry and unhappy, it was far less shocking and frightening than the other incident.
Tong Jia's family...she actually got on the Nala family's boat!
In the palace, these two people are the most fearful to Ling Ruo. They are both cautious and ruthless. However, although they were friendly in the past, it was only on the surface after all. In fact, they were worried about each other in their hearts, so
At that time, Tong Jia was banned, and Nala didn't say anything about it. Now, he is talking to Tong Jia at every turn. It would be a joke to say that there is no connection between the two!
After turning over a Buddhist scripture, Yinzhen raised his head and said: "When you are pregnant, you should walk around more. As for taking your pulse..."
Before he could say anything, Nala already said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already asked the palace doctor Chen to take care of me. As long as my sister is in a comfortable mood, the baby in her belly will definitely be healthy."
"That's very good." As he was speaking, the dog suddenly ran in in a panic and whispered something in Yinzhen's ear.
The next moment, Yinzhen's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly said: "Have you looked carefully?"
Gou'er said with a bitter look on his face: "To tell you what I brought back to Fourth Master, I went through all the things I brought from Hangzhou, inside and outside, but couldn't find them. I had no choice but to alert Fourth Master."
Yinzhen's expression was extremely ugly. He handed Hongshi to Nala and said hurriedly: "I still have some things to deal with. You can go back first."
Obviously she and the Niu Hulu family were both here, but Yinzhen only asked him to go out. Nala's face couldn't help but look a little ugly, but it only lasted for a moment. In an instant, she returned to her graceful and peaceful look, and she brought in her two children.
He bowed to Yinzhen and left.
After they left, Gou'er immediately closed the vermilion six-sided door. Ling Ruo was as careful as his hair. When he saw this movement, he hurriedly asked: "Fourth Master, what happened?"
Yinzhen said coldly: "Both the letter and the dragon robe are gone."
"What?" Ling Ruo was horrified. These two items were very important. They had always been guarded by Gou'er and Zhou Yong personally. How could they disappear after saying they were missing?
Gou'er was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, and said with a sad face: "I can't understand. I saw it with my own eyes when I entered the city before. Except for the time when I was separated from Master Thirteen, I never stopped. Those two
Things don’t have legs of their own, so how can they disappear?”
Hearing Yinxiang's name, Yinzhen's eyelids twitched suddenly. He recalled Yinxiang's inexplicable words when he left. Could it be that... Old Thirteen secretly took away the baggage containing letters and dragon robes while the dog wasn't paying attention?
Come on, do you want to do this alone?
Thinking of this, Yinzhen hurriedly asked Gou'er to go to Thirteen Baylor's Mansion to see if Yinxiang was there. He still had the last trace of luck in his heart, hoping that he was overly worried, but the news that Gou'er brought completely shocked him.
His happiness was shattered.
After Yinxiang returned to the mansion, he only stayed for a while before changing clothes and entering the palace. According to the servants of Baylor Mansion, Yinxiang took a baggage with him before leaving. No need to ask, he must have gone to the underground arsenal alone to report it.
of Kangxi.
Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't stay any longer. He hurriedly asked his dog to change into court clothes, abandoned his sedan chair and rode on horseback. He hurriedly and slowly arrived at Yangxin Hall, but was blocked outside the hall. After passing
Not long after, Li Dequan walked out of the side door and called Qianer and said: "Please wait here for a moment, Fourth Master. Brother Thirteen will meet you inside. The Emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to make any noise."
"I have something important to see Emperor Ama, and I hope Eunuch Li will make it convenient for you to pass the news on my behalf." Yinzhen was secretly worried, because he was always a step too late.
Li Dequan shook his head in embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to do this for Fourth Master. It's really difficult for me to fulfill my divine order. I can only ask Fourth Master to wait patiently for a while. When the Emperor finishes meeting with Thirteenth Brother, I will pass the message to you immediately.
"
By then it will be too late!
But it was not convenient to say this to Li Dequan, so Yinzhen could only restrain his temper and pace back and forth outside, thinking of ways to remedy the situation.
At that time, in the Qianqing Palace just across the door, Yinxiang knelt on the shiny gold bricks. Opposite him sat Kangxi, who had been emperor for forty-eight years. His face was ashen as he read an unfolded letter.
, and there was a bright yellow dragon robe in his hand.
After a long time, Kangxi raised his eyes, raised the thin letter in his hand and said, "According to what this letter says, there is an underground weapons depot in Hangzhou that was built by the prince?"
When Yinxiang heard this, he quickly kowtowed and said: "When I return to Emperor Ama, I dare not say anything about whether it was built by the prince. However, there is indeed an underground arsenal in Hangzhou City. When I checked it out at that time, there were still
There are many blacksmiths working, and the two things presented to Huang Ama were found from there."
In fact, long before Yinxiang and the others came back, Kangxi had already received an urgent secret memorial from Chen Yuanjing, the prefect of Hangzhou. The memorial stated that the two elder brothers had discovered a huge weapons depot underground near the West Lake, but the weapons depot was
Who built it secretly was not mentioned, only that the two elder brothers might know about it.
Kangxi did have a few doubtful candidates in his mind, but the prince was not among them, so he was so surprised when he saw the letter. After listening to Yinxiang's words, Kangxi fell silent and slowly stroked the sea water outlined with gold and silver threads.
, Xiangyun, bright yellow dragon robe with dragon pattern, this color, this pattern, I don’t know how many people are coveting it, but they never thought that even the prince was included in this group of people.
This world and this throne will all be his sooner or later, so why covet it?!
"Since the cave is so hidden, how did you discover it?" After a period of suffocating silence, Kangxi asked, his hands never leaving the dragon robe.
At that moment, Yinxiang told the truth about what they encountered in Hangzhou without concealing anything, because he knew that after such a big thing, Chen Yuanjing, as the prefect, would definitely report to Tianting. If the content between the two appeared
If there was any deviation, Kangxi would definitely be suspicious.
After Yinxiang finished speaking the last word, Kangxi said in a deep voice: "So this is the underground weapons depot that you and Yinzhen discovered together. Why are you the only one here at this moment, where are the people from Yinzhen? He is the one who followed the order in this matter
"Imperial envoy investigating, as for you..." Kangxi snorted and said, "I haven't settled the debt with you for leaving Beijing privately!"
"My son is guilty, please forgive me!" Yinxiang kowtowed in fear: "As for these two things, my son did not tell the fourth brother after he found them in the cave, so he had no idea about them.
I didn’t know that the prince was involved.”
"Oh, why didn't you tell Yinzhen? Aren't you and him always good friends?" Kangxi asked two questions in succession, obviously not fully believing what Yinzhen said.
"This matter is of great importance. Before meeting Huang Ama, I dare not reveal anything, even the fourth brother." Yinxiang said this, knowing that Kangxi might not believe this because of his shrewdness, but he had to
To isolate Fourth Brother from this matter, we must kill this point.
"Then by presenting these two things now, do you want me to punish the crown prince? Are you going to depose him and establish a new crown prince?" Kangxi asked coldly, his voice becoming more and more uncertain.
Yinxiang, who was still calm at first, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He kowtowed repeatedly and said: "This matter is entirely determined by the Holy Heart of the Emperor. I dare not speak nonsense, not to mention whether the authenticity of this matter needs to be verified.
My son..."
"That's it!" Kangxi waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Just step aside, I will handle this matter myself."
"Cha!" Yinxiang glanced at Kangxi carefully, bowed and stepped back. When he saw him coming out, Yinzhen rushed to greet him and asked anxiously: "Thirteenth brother, what did you say to Huang Ama?
And did you take the letter and the dragon robe? Where are the things?"
"The things have been presented to Huang Ama." Yinxiang looked at his clammy palms and smiled bitterly. Even though he had made all plans, he still broke into a cold sweat when he faced Huang Ama.
"I said I will handle this matter. You are not allowed to interfere. Why don't you listen to me? Do you still think of me as the fourth brother in your eyes?" Yinzhen was angry and hateful. Those two things were more than just reminders for the prince.
It was also a reminder to the presenter. If he failed, he would end up dying together. He had watched Yinxiang grow up with his own eyes, and he was also the only close sibling in the harem. How could he bear to let him suffer for him.
Yinxiang ignored his anger, patted Yinzhen on the shoulder and said: "Fourth brother, I know you are afraid that something will happen to me, but I am not the same. There are more than twenty brothers, but you are the only one I care about. As long as you are
All I can do
I will never stand idly by. In short, remember, the prince's affairs have nothing to do with you, and you don't know anything about it!" He said the last sentence very softly, and with Yinzhen blocking him, it didn't come through.
In the ears of a third person.
"Thirteenth brother..." Apart from these three words, Yinzhen didn't know what else to say. He didn't know what kind of good deeds he had cultivated in his previous life, so that he could have such a good brother as Yinxiang in this life.
At this time, Li Dequan came out and said: "Fourth Master, the emperor allows you to come in."
