Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Emiang." The thirteenth elder brother was frightened, and called Lan Qi softly, and she came back to her senses, patted the child lying beside her, coaxed him a few times, and then called the nurse to take the thirteenth elder brother brother take away.

Huan Chun had already stood up from the ground, and stood weakly propped up on a chair beside her. Lan Qi said angrily: "You used to beat Xiangyue Yukui and others with strength in your hands, but today you are so tired. Is it? I can see that you didn't even use your strength to fight."

"Master, if you really don't feel distressed, why are you still crying?" Huan Chun lowered his head and said with tears, "The hands of slaves and servants are all soft, and it's not a big mistake for such a good child as the fourth elder brother. Why do you want to beat him?" Woolen cloth?"

"If you're like this, you'll get used to it sooner or later." Lan Qi said tough words, but her expression didn't look strong. Instead, she begged Huan Chun to put her down.

Huan Chun came to serve her, Lan Qi saw that her palms were red, and a layer of skin was slightly worn off, and she blurted out, "It's been worn so hard, did you beat him to death?"

"Is your heart hurting at last?" Huan Chun laughed through tears, and after carefully laying down the master, he touched his hand and said, "I don't remember this servant either. It's hard, but seeing the fourth elder brother trembling, I really can't be cruel, but I hit it more than a dozen times, no matter how light it is later, it's useless."

"He deserves it." Even so, the mother's eyes were full of distress.

Huan Chun was puzzled: "Why did the empress insist on beating the fourth elder brother? There is really nothing wrong with telling this matter."

She sighed a long time: "No one would believe such a reason as fishing. I beat him to lie, but after beating him like this, he still refused to tell me. I knew I couldn't ask any more questions. Besides, I never Ding Wan asked not to allow him to get involved with the prince, but he made such a incident, I don't really want him to have contact with the prince, they are brothers after all, but other people don't think so, I beat him Made it for others to see, lest people splash dirty water on him behind their backs."

Lan Qi stretched out her hand to pull Huanchun again and said: "Yinzhen won't remember you, I'll tell him well later, if I can't get up today, I will beat him myself, fortunately it's you, I feel less guilty .It hurts my mother's heart, how can I bear it."

Huan Chun gasped and said: "The slave's hands are still shaking, why did I feel relieved when I beat Xiangyue before, but I lost my soul when I beat Si elder brother just now."

Just when Xiangyue and Yukui came in with the medicine, Xiangyue smiled and said to Lan Qi: "My sister used to beat me to death."

Yukui pushed her away and said: "My lord, the prince has a fever. The fever is very severe. The emperor asked the Queen Mother to take care of him in the Ningchun Hall. Our fourth elder brother can't be negligent. Maybe it hasn't been released yet. Don't punish me any more." Well, at least wait until the body recovers."

Lan Qi was worried about the prince, and sighed at them: "You guys are not allowed to do this when they grow up. I will still discipline them in the future."

They all agreed to wash, wash and take medicine. Huanchun also went to clean up because of crying, and heard a few young eunuchs outside the door saying: "Eunuch Liang doesn't know where to go. The one who is following the Long Live Lord today is his apprentice, will you?" Will Eunuch Liang be cut off by the emperor for the sake of the prince?"

Huan Chun was also a little curious, so she simply sent someone to inquire, but sure enough, Eunuch Liang was not found in the garden, she turned her head and told the master, Lan Qi asked, "Did you go back to the palace?"

At the moment, in the Changchun Palace of the Forbidden City, the court ladies and eunuchs are also recruiting people. Yanzhu said that he went to the respect room early in the morning and did not come back. The things in front of the master are also made by others. Concubine Hui has been used to Yanzhu recently, so naturally she cares Where did she go, the people below couldn't find out why, so they had to send someone to look for it.

But the palace searched all morning, and no one in the respect room saw her go, not even anyone in the palace who had seen her. Concubine Hui gradually became a little uneasy, wondering if Mingzhu had found her, how could she Thinking of it, Director Liang went back to the palace overnight and sent people to guard outside the Changchun Palace early in the morning, and told him to arrest Yanzhu whenever he saw it, no matter what time of day it was, and whether there was anyone around or not. What are you doing, you are almost chasing someone to arrest you.

There is a secret room in the Punishment Department, which is the "underworld" that not many people in the palace know. Eunuch Liang was brought here by his master and told him about this dark place in the palace. He was so scared that he almost crawled out. Year after year, he has also learned to be ruthless, and now he is sitting by the side drinking tea, leisurely.

Yanzhu was tied to a frame, had been whipped several times, passed out twice and was woken up by cold water twice, and now she was dying, and there were several iron irons lying on the stove next to her, which burned scarlet red, as if she would be used to roast her at any time Flesh and flesh, the last bit of persistence is about to collapse.

But seeing Eunuch Liang walking over with a teapot, he tutted and said, "Yanzhu, we are about the same age, you are better than me, a well-rounded person, what can't be done in the future, is now released, married and have children. It's not difficult, I can give you a bright road to go, but if you refuse to go, I can't help it."

Yanzhu panted heavily, people would instinctively want to save themselves in a desperate situation, just after being caught and whipped a few times, she thought to herself that she would let her go if she insisted that she didn't know anything, but obviously that wouldn't work, she It was determined that she knew something, and what awaited her now was a more vicious punishment.

A wretched-looking eunuch on the side wrapped a handful of irons in a thick cloth, picked them up and put them in a bucket. The smoke that captivated the eyes evaporated from the sizzling sound. Yanzhu screamed in horror, and everyone laughed ferociously. A eunuch came up and slapped her and said, "Director Liang asked you, have you thought through it? If you don't answer, the meat underneath you will be burnt to pieces. We have no roots, and we will not see you well."

As he spoke, he pinched her lower body hard, Yan Zhu rolled his eyes white in fright, but was soon pinched by his chin and asked, "Say you?"

Yanzhu cried miserably: "I said... Manager Liang, let me live..."

An hour later, Eunuch Liang walked out of the "Hell of Hell". There was no blood or crying in the outside world. He also took off his vicious mask and let out a long sigh of relief. The matter was finally clarified, and he was finally able to give An explanation from the emperor.An eunuch came out from behind, and handed Manager Liang's hat graciously, and said in a low voice: "The chief manager has worked hard, and now I have to go back to Changchun Garden to do business? Otherwise, I will prepare wine and good food to honor you, you are dusty." The servant ran away, and didn't bother to take a sip of the good tea."

Eunuch Liang felt a little nauseous. He really was a person who had been in the Punishment Department for many years, and he was insensitive to the shouting and killing. At least she didn't want to touch meat for ten days and a half months after watching Yanzhu die.

The eunuch of the Punishment Department asked again: "Chief Chief, what about the body of the maid?"

Eunuch Liang straightened the hat on his head, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and said slowly, "Take the ice and freeze it first, and when I send you a message from the Changchun Garden, whether to throw it in the mass grave or find another place, wait for it." my words."

After saying this, Eunuch Liang left in a hurry, rushing back to the Changchun Garden before dark, the emperor must wait anxiously, if it would take him several days to deal with a court lady, then there is no need to continue eating this meal.

When he returned to Changchun Garden, he didn't care about inquiring about the prince's fever and the fourth elder brother's beating, so he went straight to Qingxi study. Unfortunately, Master Mingzhu answered in the study, and he was a little guilty, and hid aside, waiting for Mingzhu to leave After arriving in front of the emperor, Xuan Ye really asked, "Did you run into Mingzhu?"

Eunuch Liang said that he avoided it, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly said: "Long Live Lord, the servant pried it out of Yan Zhu's mouth. This time there are wolves in the garden. It is indeed Master Mingzhu who did it, but Concubine Hui does not care about it." Knowing this, it’s just that Master Mingzhu asked Concubine Hui to tell elder brother not to show off in front of you, thinking that the two things are compatible, they are afraid that elder brother will save people. The servant asked Yan Zhu, that wolf was obviously raised by the prince’s uncle and grandpa, how could Master Mingzhu ask someone to bring it into the garden? Yanzhu said she didn’t know, and the slaves tortured him and asked him nothing, but he explained that Master Zhu had brought something to the palace , indeed tell Concubine Hui that this matter is the idea of ​​the adults, so that Concubine Hui must tell the elder brother well, if you don’t force yourself, don’t risk your life. There is one more thing..."

Eunuch Liang paused, seeing that the emperor was impatient, he hurriedly said: "Yanzhu said, Master Mingzhu and Concubine Hui are trying to find a way to let eldest brother go to the battlefield earlier to make contributions."

Xuan Ye sneered: "It's unnecessary, I had such a plan." For some reason, after confirming that it was Mingzhu's faction, Xuan Ye was suddenly relieved, unexpectedly not angry, as if he had thought so, more importantly It was the eldest brother who didn't lie to him, the child really didn't know this happened, and the prince... thinking of the prince, he couldn't help but feel worried.

But he will not conclude that this matter has nothing to do with Suo'etu based on Yan Zhu's few words. The two old foxes compete and know each other, just as he can put eyeliner in any corner, and Suo'etu and Mingzhu will do the same with each other. It is not known who the wolf breeder is now, but how could Suo'etu fail to see such a thing? It may not be because he deliberately pushed the boat along with the current and made mistakes. good.

What reassures Xuanye is that the children are innocent this time, and no one lied to him.

Thinking about it this way, last night the matter between the prince and the fourth elder brother was on the mind again. Someone had already come to report that the prince's fever had subsided and his condition was stable. On the contrary, the fourth elder brother was severely beaten. He probably couldn't get out of bed in three or two days. In Ruijingxuan.

Xuan Ye told Eunuch Liang at this moment: "Send someone to Ruijingxuan to send the fourth elder brother back to Taoyuan Bookstore."

The injuries on Yinzhen's body were all on his buttocks. Before the swelling subsided, he couldn't sit and study, but his father sent someone to tell him to go back to Taoyuan Bookstore immediately. He was only given one day off. homework.For some reason at that time, the fourth elder brother wanted to see Eniang, thinking that it would be much easier than begging for forgiveness from Eniang, rather than being "cheered and warmed up" by his brothers when he went back to the lake. The brothers asked questions, and watched him lying on his stomach, regretting so much that his intestines were green.

Not long after the fourth elder brother was carried away, it was reported that the holy driver was coming. Huanchun and the others rushed in to pack up and prepare to pick him up. Lan Qi hadn't seen Xuan Ye for several days, and asked them to comb her hair and wipe her face A layer of makeup, I don't want him to see her mess.

As soon as Xuanye entered the door, seeing that Lan Qi was still lying down, he said, "Are you afraid of the pain so you dare not move, but you've already recovered? You have been moving, but you really can't move."

Lan Qi blinked at him, secretly felt that Xuan Ye seemed to be in a good mood, and a smile appeared on his face, feeling relieved.
