"Tang Qizhang?" After receiving the affirmative agreement, Hong Zhou said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Fifth Eunuch." He knew in his heart that it was very rare for Xiao Wu to tell him this.
After leaving Yangxin Hall, he went all the way to Qintian Prison. Tang Qizhang was calculating the calendar. When he saw Hong Zhou coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.
After ordering Tang Qizhang to stand up, Hong Zhou didn't say anything, but glanced at the palace attendants standing on both sides. Tang Qizhang understood what he meant, and ordered the palace attendants to step back. He immediately held up his hands and said, "I wonder what the prince has ordered when he comes here?"
"
On the way just now, Hong Zhou recalled everything that had happened in the past few months, and he probably had some clues in his mind. He walked to the case, took a half-deduced calendar from Tang Qizhang, took a casual look at it, and said: "Your Majesty, please."
This king is here to ask, has there been any change in the fate of the twelfth prince recently?"
Tang Qizhang knew that Hong Zhou was the most trusted person of Hong Li, and also knew that the latter had told Hong Zhou the secret of Yong Cang's fate, so he did not doubt his words and said truthfully: "As for the prince, since the great changes in the paddock
After that, the fate of the twelfth elder brother was relatively stable, and there were no major changes. However, with all due respect, the twelfth elder brother...he can't hold on for too long, and disaster will come at any time."
Hong Zhou's heart was shocked. Something happened. He suppressed his shock and said, "Can you estimate the specific time?"
"This..." Tang Qizhang said in embarrassment: "Xiaguan really can't calculate it accurately. He only vaguely knows that it will happen within half a year." At this point, he said with a guilty look on his face: "Over the years, Xiaguan has thought of everything.
There are ways to calculate the number of lives, but so far I have only glimpsed a small part of it, and it is really... powerless!"
Tang Qizhang took up the post of Qintian Supervisor in the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign. Calculated, he is only thirty-seven years old this year, in his prime, but his face is no different from that of an old man in his fifties or sixties.
He is old and has gray hair on his temples. It can be seen that in the past ten years, he has really spent a lot of thought and energy on the matter of Yongzhen.
Hong Zhou sighed and said: "It's a pity that the real person Yun Zhongzi passed away without leaving any way to complete the destiny of the twelve elder brothers, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive."
"Now we can only place our hope on Master Kong Jing." Tang Qizhang said in a deep voice. He didn't know about Wei Xiuyan yet.
After a moment of silence, Hong Zhou asked tentatively: "Do you know why the fate of the twelfth prince suddenly changed so much?"
Tang Qizhang said solemnly: "The emperor also asked about this at the beginning, and the subordinate can only say...fate is unpredictable; if it could have been discovered earlier, the eleventh brother would not have died in the catastrophe."
Hong Zhou said in surprise: "Dai Jie? Are you saying that Brother Eleven's death was not an accident?"
"It was an accident, but somehow, he died on behalf of the 12th elder brother. If he hadn't happened to meet the 11th elder brother at that time, the person who died would have been the 12th elder brother."
Hong Zhou's expression changed in shock. He had never known that there was such a reason, that the calamity... was already so dangerous!
At this point, Hong Zhou fully understood why Hong Li wanted to imprison Master Kong Jing. Although the fetus in Wei Xiuyan's belly was present, Hong Li was still afraid and hoped to find another way to ensure Yong Cang's safety!
I hope Yongxun can survive this difficulty, otherwise... I don’t know what kind of disaster it will be!
After leaving Qintian Prison, Hong Zhou immediately left the palace and rode his horse to Ziyun Temple. When Yun Zhongzi died, although people in Ziyun Temple said that there was no way to make up for his fate, it is possible that Ziyun Temple
There will be records in the collected classics and secret books. Even if there is only a slight possibility, he will give it a try and try his best to find a way out for Yong Cang.
Everyone in the Yihexuan did not know all this. After Hongli arrived, the banquet started as scheduled. At the banquet, people were laughing and drinking, and it was very lively.
After the banquet, everyone moved to Changyin Pavilion to listen to the play. It was not until dusk that they dispersed. When Xia Qing returned to Yonghe Palace holding Xiao Shouzi's hand, the sky had already darkened.
Cuizhu twisted a hot face towel and handed it to Xia Qing, "Master, wipe your face first, and this slave will ask someone to pass on the meal."
Xia Qing nodded, and when she handed the scarf back to Cuizhu, a palace servant came in and said, "Master, Concubine Xin wants to see you."
Hearing this, Xia Qing frowned immediately. Xiayue had already told her about Concubine Xin's manipulation of Lie Yan. Yongxuan's death was inextricably linked to Concubine Xin. If Xianyue hadn't repeatedly warned her,
Just be patient for now, she has already taken action to deal with it, how can she be allowed to ascend to the position of fourth concubine, "What is she here to do?"
The palace man lowered his head and said, "I don't know, Concubine Xin only said that she wanted to see you for something."
Xiao Shouzi said from the side: "If the master doesn't want to see Concubine Xin, I will send her away right now."
Xia Qing's eyes were cold and she said: "Let her come in. I would like to see what tricks she wants to play when she comes here today."
Not long after the palace attendants left, Concubine Xin appeared in Xia Qing's sight. After walking into the palace, she bowed her knees respectfully and said, "I see you, the empress, and may you be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
Xia Qing did not wake up and said calmly: "It's so late, why didn't Concubine Xin go back to her own palace, but came to this palace?"
Concubine Xin maintained her kneeling posture and said with a smile: "At noon today, my brother sent me two pairs of red jade bracelets. One pair is for me, and the other pair is given to me by my concubine."
, this is a small congratulation to the Queen on her promotion, and I hope the Queen will accept it."
Following her words, Xiuzhu presented the brocade box in his hand. After opening it, it turned out to be a pair of red jade bracelets as bright as fire. They were bright in color, delicate in texture, extremely beautiful, and their value was no less than a thousand pieces of gold.
Xia Qing said calmly: "Lord Wende is really thoughtful, but... I can't afford this bracelet, so Concubine Xin should take it back."
Concubine Xin said flatteringly: "I'm joking, you are the royal concubine, how can you not afford a pair of bracelets? If you say so, wouldn't I be even more able to afford it?"
Xia Qing put the brocade box aside, stood up and walked to her, saying in a cold voice: "Concubine Xin, you know best what you and Wende have done. You killed Yongxuan, not to mention a pair of bracelets."
, Even if there are thousands of pairs, it cannot make up for the pain of losing my son!"
Concubine Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The empress is indeed angry with me because of this matter. I have said that this matter has nothing to do with me. It is Xiao Huazi who makes his own decisions. Why is the empress just unwilling..."
"Xiao Huazi is your slave. Without your instructions, would he dare to touch the twelfth prince's mount? You can hide it from the emperor, but you can't hide it from me!" After saying that, she rolled her sleeves and said: "Stand down.
"
Concubine Xin did not kneel down as she was told, but said: "Can I have a few words with the empress alone?"
