Mingyu stroked his forehead and said, "Okay, I will continue to investigate Yong Cong's matter. You can rest for now."
Although Mingyu didn't say anything to believe her, Wei Jingxuan could tell from what she just said that she was still leaning towards her, and she felt much more at ease. After watching Mingyu leave, she let out a deep breath and stroked her chest.
I was so scared after the wound.
If she hadn't made a decisive decision and used such a cruel way to prove her innocence, Mingyu might have believed Xia Qing's words. This damn Xia Qing actually came to Kunning Palace so crazy and said everything,
It’s really hateful! Waiting for her to get hurt
After that, we must get back the principal with interest. Having said that, since the matter is so big, Concubine Yu should have received news that Xia Qing will not be allowed to live unharmed. The only thing she is worried about is that Xianyue may
Get in the way and save Xia Qing.
Long before Wei Jingxuan woke up, Concubine Yu had already received the news and said angrily: "This Wei Jingxuan is really useless. She can't handle such a small thing, and she let Xia Qing make the matter so big." After a pause,
She added: "Has Xia Qing returned to Xinzheku now?"
Xiao Quanzi shook his head and said: "No, she was brought back to Yanxi Palace by the imperial concubine. If you want to get rid of her... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Nala Xianyue!" Concubine Yu slapped the bed hatefully and said in a cold voice: "Every time something happens, her shadow is indispensable. It's really..." She was so angry that she couldn't continue. After walking back and forth in the palace several times,
He said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do now. We can only wait until Xia Qing leaves Yanxi Palace."
Dongmei glanced at her cautiously and said, "Master, I'm worried that...Xia Qing will always be hiding in Yanxi Palace like this."
Concubine Yu frowned and said, "You mean, she took this opportunity to be transferred to the Yanxi Palace as an errand?"
"Yes, as an imperial concubine, it is a simple matter to have a palace maid serve beside you. Xia Qing should also know that such a commotion will not be tolerated by the master. If she wants to save her life, hide in Yanxi Palace
Palace is the best way."
Concubine Yu rubbed her temples vigorously. If this were the case, even she would find it difficult to find a chance to strike. But keeping Xia Qing, a scourge, alive was absolutely unavoidable. What should we do?!
"Yanxi Palace..." As these three words were spoken, Concubine Yu's eyes gradually brightened, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "She is in Yanxi Palace, so it is not convenient for us to attack, but she will soon
It’s no longer here.”
Dongmei said in confusion: "Not here? Could it be that the slave guessed wrongly?"
Concubine Yu had calmed down now and said with a faint smile: "You guessed it right, but you forgot one thing - the southern tour!"
Xiao Quanzi reacted first, stepped forward and said, "Master, are you saying that we will attack during the southern tour?"
Concubine Yu walked to the eaves, looked at the flowers in full bloom in the courtyard, and said coolly: "Yes, the southern tour is not like the palace. No one knows what will happen. Tomorrow, I will write a letter
Letter, you have someone send it to my palace, Ama's house, and ask him to send Tuhe to follow the emperor along the way so that I can contact him. In addition, this may not be an opportunity for Tuhe."
Xiao Quanzi and Dongmei glanced at each other, both of them confused about Concubine Yu's intentions, and asked: "Master, what opportunity do you mean?"
"Although I have always told myself not to mind, the status of a businessman is too low after all, which is very detrimental to me; and Tuhe, he originally had a great future, but I really can't bear to let his official career end just like this;
The Emperor once mentioned to me that during this southern tour, in addition to inspecting coastal defense, we will also select some
The available talents are used by the court. Even those who have made mistakes will be promoted as an exception as long as they are really useful. So..." Having said this, she sighed and said: "But will this opportunity come to Tuhe?
I don’t know about him, so I can only try my best to plan according to the situation, hoping that God will not be too cruel to him."
"Young Master is a handsome young man. God will definitely give him a chance." Faced with Dongmei's words, Concubine Yu nodded slightly and said: "If Xia Qing doesn't go south with Nala Xianyue by then, you can stay in the palace.
No matter what method you use, I must kill Xia Qing before returning from the southern tour. Even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter. I will try to protect you after I return."
Dongmei said solemnly: "I know this, please don't worry."
Xia Qing's riot in Kunning Palace soon reached Hongli's ears. However, because he was busy with the southern tour at the time and the urgent need for rectification of the abandoned camps in Jiangnan and Henan, Mingyu never mentioned it.
That's why he didn't pay much attention to it.
In April, the "moving ceremony" is performed, and the Yong Cong coffin is moved from the altar to the burial place. All the officials below the prince and the fourth rank and above gather outside the gate of the temple, while the princess, Fujin, and married woman gather within the second gate.
After the coffin car set off, it was accompanied by ceremonial guards, eunuchs, military guards, etc., as well as officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, as well as officers and soldiers from the Eight Banners to escort it. Such a solemn atmosphere, although it is a mournful honor, still can't help but make people feel a little bit sad.
Envy.
On April 17, the southern patrol route was determined. After crossing the Yellow River, we took a boat and went south along the canal, passing through Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Jia, and finally to Hangzhou. The empress dowager, the empress, and all the concubines would accompany us. In addition,
There are also ministers, guards, etc., totaling nearly two thousand people.
, Zhaohui, Agui, Liu Hu, etc. are among them. There are dozens of royal ships and official ships. Their scale is rare, and there are palaces along the way. As for matters in Beijing, except for military affairs, important matters are sent quickly.
Except for Hongli's hand, Yunli was responsible for presiding over the remaining court affairs.
The purpose of Hongli's southern tour, just as he said to Concubine Yu, was to inspect the people's sentiments, inspect river construction and coastal defense, and prepare available talents for elections.
On April 19th, the imperial ship set off from the capital and sailed south along the canal via the Yellow River. Before departure, Hongli issued an edict to warn the local government: be careful not to be glitzy; think about the difficulties of material resources at all times, and avoid extravagance in everything.
Before arriving in Yangzhou, we were on the water all the way. As soon as we stepped out of the boat, we saw water. It looked interesting at first, but after a long time, it became boring. As the voyage progressed, we encountered wind and waves and the hull bumped.
, there will be people who are not good at riding boats who will get seasick and nauseated, and Xianyue is one of them.
From morning to night, she had been feeling groggy and had vomited several times. Her stomach was already empty, but she still vomited from time to time, which was really uncomfortable.
Although the ship that Xianyue is on is not a royal ship, it is still built like a palace. It has three floors. In addition to the Yinfeng Pavilion where Xianyue lives, there are also Jingyueju and so on. They are Yufei and Yifei.
There is also the residence of Concubine Jia and others. In addition to the corresponding guards, palace attendants, and boatmen, there are only three people on the royal ship, Hongli, Ling Ruo, and Mingyu.
