The wet nurse glanced at Hongli in fear and whispered: "Shh! Sixth Brother, I will take you to see Concubine Jia later, please don't say anything yet."
Seeing that the wet nurse would not take him, Yong Rong was unwilling to comply. He cried and said: "No, I want my mother! I want my mother!" His crying frightened the wet nurse until her face turned blue, and she quickly coaxed him.
Wear Yong Rong to avoid offending Hongli.
However, Yong Rong was very tired after kneeling for so long, and there was no way she could coax him back. Fortunately, Hong Li thought that Yong Rong was still young and did not blame him. He ordered his wet nurse to take Yong Rong back to Yong He Palace first.
After they left, Kunning Palace became silent again, with only the sound of the autumn wind blowing the leaves outside the window. Yong Huang was oppressed by this wordless silence, and walked forward on his knees and said: "Everything is my fault.
, I am willing to take the blame, and I also ask the emperor not to blame the younger brothers."
Yongxuan said anxiously: "It's none of my business, my son and I are also responsible. Huang Ama, please don't blame me, okay?"
Yong Huang scolded: "Fourth brother, don't talk too much. I have my own sense of discretion in this matter."
"Brother..." Yongxun was about to say more, but Yonghuang scolded him again: "If you still know that I am your eldest brother, please stop talking." After that, he kowtowed to Hongli and said: "Huang Ama, my son
I should not sleep during the vigil, and I am willing to be punished by you."
Hongli raised his hand and said: "You don't have to rush to say this. I just want to know now, have you ever felt a little bit sad when the queen passed away?"
Yonghuang lowered his head and said something against his will, "The emperor's mother passed away, and I am naturally sad and sad. I..."
"In that case, why don't you shed a single tear? Or do you think your empress can't even bear a single tear from you?"
"I don't dare, it's just..." Yong Huang gritted his teeth and didn't know how to continue. In fact, he really felt that Fucha Mingyu couldn't bear it, and even couldn't bear his kneeling, let alone
Tears.
"Just what?" Faced with Hongli's fierce gaze, Yonghuang felt cruel and kowtowed hard, using the pain on his forehead to force tears out of his eyes, "I'm just too sad, so I didn't cry for a while.
, Moreover, Huang Ama has taught me that a man should not shed tears easily. Over the years, I have become accustomed to not crying, and I did not expect that Huang Ama would misunderstand me."
Yongxuan glanced at him, kowtowed and said, "Huang Ama, what the eldest brother said is all the truth, and there was not a single falsehood."
"Really?" As he said this, Hongli slowly laughed. Against the backdrop of the white candle, that smile made Yonghuang and the others shiver down their spines. "It's too sad...why can't I feel it at all?
On the contrary, I think you are full of lies? Yonghuang, when did you learn to deceive me?"
Yonghuang said anxiously: "I don't have any children, Emperor Ama..."
Hongli interrupted him coldly, "No need to say any more. Since you have no intention of keeping filial piety, don't force yourself. All of you should kneel outside and don't get up without my order!"
"Huang Ama, all the mistakes are the fault of the son and minister alone, and have nothing to do with the younger brothers." Facing Yonghuang's words, Hongli said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter, I know it very well in my heart!"
Under Hongli's words, the few people had no choice but to kneel outside. It was much colder outside than inside, especially when the autumn wind blew over. The chill seemed to seep into the skin, and they were freezing in a short time.
Several people had cold hands and feet.
Yongxun said worriedly: "What should I do, brother? Huang Ama seems to be very angry. How long do you think he will make us kneel?"
Yong Huang glanced at Hongli's back with a complicated expression and said comfortingly: "Huang Ama was just angry for a moment. Once his anger subsides, everything will be fine. Don't worry too much."
Yongxuan nodded and muttered: "Huang Ama is really strange. We are not close to Huang Aniang, so there is no sadness. It is obvious that she is forcing others to make things difficult for her."
Yong Zhang made a silent gesture and said: "Fourth, don't let Huang Ama hear what you said, otherwise you will suffer."
Facing his kind reminder, Yongxun said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, so don't pretend to be kind. If it weren't for you, Changle..."
"Yongxun!" Yonghuang shook his head slightly at him, indicating that he should stop talking. Although the latter was unwilling to say anything, he always listened to Yonghuang's words and tried hard to swallow the words on his lips.
The fact that Yonghuang and the others were scolded by Hongli and made to kneel outside Kunning Palace soon reached the ears of Xianyue and others. Everyone was very nervous. Huang was the first to go and beg Hongli.
As a result, Hongli was sent back without even seeing his face.
In desperation, Mrs. Huang had no choice but to come and beg Xianyue, and said anxiously: "Mother, what should I do? They are kneeling like this in such a cold weather. They must be sick, not to mention that they have been kneeling for several days before."
A Luo comforted him from the side: "My dear, don't worry, the master is already thinking of a solution."
Hearing what she said, Huang had no choice but to suppress her anxiety and looked at Xianyue eagerly. After a while, Xianyue said, "Is Concubine Yu gone?"
Qi Kuan lowered his eyes and said, "To tell you my master, Concubine Yu has not been to the Yangxin Hall yet, but the fifth elder brother has always been weak, so she should go there soon."
Xia Qing's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "She probably didn't want to do this, so she was waiting for her master to plead for mercy; but the fifth elder brother is her biological son, so it's a shame that she can be so cruel."
A Luo smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Yu's heart is far more ruthless than ours. She is the same to herself and the fifth elder brother, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take the position of fourth concubine today."
Zhichun said with some annoyance: "Your Majesty, it's true that just because the eldest brother and the others took a nap, he punished them so severely. After observing mourning for several days and nights, no one can be sleepy at all, let alone the eldest brother and the others.
Given his age, it would be too harsh."
"Are you able to discuss the emperor's affairs?" After scolding Zhichun, Xianyue stood up and said: "The emperor is so worried about the queen's death. I don't know if I can persuade the emperor to calm down, but I have to try no matter what.
Give it a try.”
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she was happy at first, and then said with some worry: "Otherwise...it's better to wait until your Majesty is more confident before going."
Xianyue sighed and said: "At this time, there is no certainty at all, so it will be the same sooner or later."
After telling Concubine Yi to stay in Yanxi Palace, she left with A Luo and Qi Kuan. However, she did not go directly to Yangxin Palace, but went to Kunning Palace first.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Yong Huang and the others kneeling upright on the hard bluestone ground. When they got closer, they found that each of them was blue with cold, especially the youngest Yong Qi. The situation looked very uncomfortable.
