In July of the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, news came that Galdan had been killed by his nephew Cewang Alabutan. It was a battle and a great victory. Kangxi's third personal expedition finally returned in triumph.
The return journey has been scheduled. In addition to leaving Feiyanggu to deal with the finishing work and chasing some scattered remnants, the army on the east route has withdrawn. Sengge, the father of Cewang Alabutan, was killed by Galdan and occupied the Ili River Basin.
, ambushed and killed Galdan while he was fleeing, and surrendered to Kangxi with Galdan's head. Kangxi immediately named Cewang Alabutan as Zhugeerhan King, and thus put an end to Galdan's decades-long rebellion.
After solving the serious problem in his heart, Kangxi decided to return to the court with his troops.
This trip was a triumph, and there was also a huge prisoner presentation ceremony. The prince's clan, Manchu and Han ministers were present, so it was naturally inconvenient for the concubines to show up. Even though Wen Xi was in Chengqian Palace, she could still hear the sound coming from the gate of the Forbidden City.
The sound of firecrackers was going off. But Xiao Tao couldn't hear that sound. Her small body shrank in Wen Xi's arms, showing a scared look. Wen Xi could only coax him distressedly and hold his forehead: "Don't be afraid.
It's far, far away, don't be afraid, little peach, my mother is here!"
If we say that Little Pomegranate is the best at coaxing children, since she suffered this incident, Little Peach just refuses to take the medicine. She even lacks appetite for food. She can only eat a few bites after being coaxed by Wen Xi.
After a month, Baozi's originally chubby face became sunken, and he looked more and more distressed day by day. Only Xiao Pomegranate had a way to coax him to eat more.
It was already noon now, and Little Peach was looking like a frightened little beast, let alone eating. She was afraid that she would not be able to leave the warm arms at all. Little Pomegranate, as the prince, had already left the city to welcome him. He was accompanying him on the visit.
The prisoner presentation ceremony has begun, and I won't be able to come back for a while.
"Eniang!" Wen Xi was coaxing Xiao Mi Tao when Yu Ludai ran in carelessly, "I know who harmed my seventeenth brother!"
Wen Xi coaxed Xiao Mi Tao and naturally ignored her words. Ever since Xiao Mi Tao was injured, Wen Xi had been guarding her almost every step of the way. She had no time to check and could only watch the prince making a fuss.
Pomegranate has found some clues, but unfortunately she still has no clue.
Yu Ludai also ran outside every day, and she didn't know what she was busy with. Two days ago, she captured a little palace maid aged 12 or 13, and suspected that she was the one who did it. Later it was proved that this little palace maid from Jingren Palace had never been to the palace that day.
In the garden, I have been taking care of the flowers and plants in Jingren Palace all day. Wen Xi doesn’t expect her to be of any help. It would be nice if she could help coax Little Peach. Now Little Peach is also Wen Xi, and Little Pomegranate and
Yulu Dai can come close to him, but others will be afraid when he comes close.
"Eniang!" Seeing Wen Xi ignoring her, Yu Ludai stamped his feet angrily, "I really found out!"
"Okay, okay!" Wen Xi was a little impatient, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb Little Peach."
Yuludai muttered. He walked to Wenxi and whispered: "Eniang, it's true this time! It must have been Shu Lu who did it!"
Wen Xi shook her head, feeling helpless: "It's getting more and more outrageous!" Although the person she saw at first was a "little eunuch" whose gender was indeed unknown, it was possible that he was a palace maid pretending to be one. If it was Shu Lu, that would be too much.
It's outrageous. How can a princess wear eunuch's clothes, and how can she act alone? Even if Yu Ludai doesn't like people to follow her, she must take Hu Yu and a few quick-legged palace maids and eunuchs with her when she goes out, and she is never allowed to act alone.
"It's true!" Yu Ludai shouted. "A few months ago, Shu Lu threatened to deal with the Seventeenth Brother!"
Shu Lu and Yu Ludai have been at odds with each other for many years, and Wen Xi also knows that they have a small quarrel every three days, and a big quarrel every five days, and they talk threats all the time. They argue in anger, so how can they be effective?
What's the number? Wen Xi shook her head.
Seeing that Wen Xi still looked unbelieving, Yu Ludai stamped his feet again and took something out of his sleeve, "This is the firecracker I found from Shu Lu's room!"
Wen Xi looked sideways and saw that they were indeed two red, used firecrackers, which looked similar to the ones that had injured Little Peach. Then Little Peach in Wen Xi's arms trembled, and Wen Xi hurriedly pressed her son's head on it.
In his arms, he hurriedly said: "Put it away quickly! Your brother can't see anything!"
Yu Ludai hurriedly put it away and said, "Do you believe me now? I stole it from under Shu Lu's bed!"
Wen Xi thought about it for a moment, "Girls usually don't like things..." It's somewhat true, but Princess Shu Lu has always been brave, so it's not surprising that she likes firecrackers.
"Yes, yes!" Yu Ludai said quickly.
Wen Xi still shook her head and said: "During the Chinese New Year, didn't you have fun playing with firecrackers?!" It can be seen that there are always exceptions, and there are always girls who also like to play with this thing, and Yu Ludai is one of them.
The corner of Yu Ludai's mouth twitched, "Eniang, Shu Lu must have done it! She has been at odds with me for a long time and can't deal with me, so she attacked the seventeenth brother! Her height and stature are also the same as the little eunuch Aunt Xu mentioned
Almost! It's just that we didn't think about her, we just thought it was a little eunuch, or a little palace maid dressed as a little eunuch who did it!"
Wen Xi lowered her eyebrows and thought, and she had to say that Yulu Dai's words had some truth to them. It's just that Shu Lu was still a half-grown child after all! Wait - a flash appeared in Wen Xi's eyes, child?! It's the child who is
Love to play with firecrackers! Isn’t it just what a child would do to blow up people with firecrackers?!
"A fool will find something after all his worries." Wen Xi said in a deep voice. Didn't the concubine say that day that the murderer was someone she didn't expect? Maybe Yu Ludai's thinking was right! The little pomegranate matured too early, and he would not be able to cause it.
Thinking from a child's point of view, although Yu Ludai is older, her temperament is still like that of a child, which results in her looking at the problem from a different perspective than an adult!
Xiaomi Tao was led to the rockery by someone that day, which shows that this person was familiar with him. If it was Shu Lu, it would make sense!
The prisoner presentation ceremony was huge and would take at least two hours. Seeing that there was plenty of time, Wen Xi put Xiao Mi Tao to sleep first, and then went to Jingren Palace to have a look with a carriage.
Chengqian Palace is very close to Jingren Palace, but it only took two cups of tea. It was also a coincidence that the warmth came. As soon as I entered the palace gate of Jingren Palace, I heard the bang of firecrackers exploding. Following the smell of gunpowder smoke, I saw Tong
The concubine rushed out quickly and shouted in shock: "The imperial doctor! Go and tell the imperial doctor -"
Wen Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she saw Shu Lu's bloody hand, she couldn't help but let out a few rays of cold light in her eyes, and asked sideways: "You stole the firecrackers in her room, but did she know about it?"
Yu Ludai shook his head: "I sneaked in while Shu Lu was not in Jingren Palace!"
Wen Xi smiled coldly, "That must have fallen into the eyes of some palace maids and eunuchs in the Chengqian Palace...and there are less of her treasures, how could she not notice it?" - She thought she had intentionally blown herself up, so she
Can this be settled?! Wen Xi saw it as true. Although her injury was serious, it only hurt the palm of her hand. She was not disabled. Compared to Xiaomi Tao's disability, this was nothing.
?!
Originally, Wen Xi was not sure that it was her fault, but now she is sure! Shu Lu must have panicked to come up with such a clumsy strategy to clear herself! Although the strategy was clumsy, it was quite effective. Although Wen Xi
Xi has already confirmed that it is her, but others will think that it is even more unlikely to be her! I am afraid that even Kangxi will not doubt her! And she can catch the firecrackers that are about to explode with her hands - she is not a little peach, I don't know
How dare you do this if you are so powerful at holding things?! It’s okay for a person to be cruel to others, but it should not be underestimated to be cruel to yourself! Although doing this, there is no reason why he was forced into a desperate situation and had to be like this, but it is also
Don’t underestimate it! This kind of ruthlessness is something Yu Ludai doesn’t have!
Shu Lu's cry was loud and violent. Listening to her cry, Wen Xi became more and more disgusted. You turned your head and said, "Go back to the palace!"
Yu Ludai hurriedly grabbed Wen Xi and said, "Mom, we can't just let her go!"
Wen Xi glanced at the impatient Yu Ludai, "Do you have any evidence?"
Yu Ludai was speechless, and then said angrily: "She must have done it!"
Wen Xi said coldly: "The princess is of royal blood and is extremely noble. She is not one of those slaves. It's okay to kill her casually. Without conclusive evidence, nothing can be done to her!" After saying that, he pulled Yu Ludai.
gone back.
Chengqian Palace.
Shu Yierha was led by her wet nurse, Grandma Lian, to the main hall to pay her respects to Wen Xi. Shu Yierha was not Shu Lu. Although she was born from the same mother, she was extremely well-behaved. Except for the first few days and nights when she came here, she would be distressed.
Concubine Ping, and then slowly became quiet.
"Greetings to the noble mother and concubine!" The dough-like child said hello in a polite manner, with a soft and waxy voice, which indeed made life a bit likeable.
Wen Xi waved her forward. Because she had to take care of Xiaomi Tao, Wen Xi didn't pay much attention to the daughter she brought back. She only followed the rules that a princess should have, and asked people to arrange her life according to Yu Ludai's example.
That's all. She has enough food and clothing, so I won't treat her badly, but I don't care about her too much.
Pingbi said, Shu Yierha knew who did it. Something happened to Xiaomi Tao, and Pingbi had been grounded for more than half a month. How could she understand it, but Wenxi had doubts. After returning, she also tried to think of a solution.
After prying Shu Yierha's mouth open, it turned out that this kid accepted death and strictly abided by the concubine's instructions. Unless the jade certificate was revised, he would not say a word! There was nothing he could do about Wen Xi.
Wen Xi gently opened her sleeves, and the scars left by the canes were almost gone. However, the child's skin was delicate and must be taken good care of. She waved her hand and asked Aunt Lian to step back. Wen Xi did not leave any outsiders in the palace.
, then asked: "Is it Shu Lu?"
Shu Yier's eyes suddenly widened, "How did the noble concubine know?!" As soon as she said the words, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her chubby little hands, which looked really cute. No wonder she was so cute.
Even if the concubine is about to die, she still has to plan for her. Everyone can't help but like such a lovely child. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
