Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2501 Eight Volumes 26
After sending Wanxi, Yuqin and Xiao Shiwu away, the emperor returned to his palace, all the warmth on his face was suppressed.

As the Son of Heaven, he should kill and make a decision.He can be the most sage benevolent ruler and the most filial son in the world, but he is also willing to be the most merciless judge.

Clan Nala has already set off to return to the north, and the next step is to arrange various matters for Clan Nala to return to the palace.

Jiu'er doesn't need to know this.

They don't even need their mother and son to see his facial expression like this.

On the 21st day of the second lunar month, the emperor sent a letter to Fu Long'an: "Payer followed the queen, and when she escorted her, she ordered her to make two stops on the day. According to Antai's return, the trip went well and nothing happened. In this case If it is too fast, the local officials will not be able to make preparations, and the trackers and others will complain about the hard work. You should estimate the distance and proceed as appropriate, and there is no need to rush. Afterwards, I will issue an order to you. .”

From Hangzhou back to Beijing, the journey has a fixed frequency every day, and is planned based on the stations on the shore.The emperor ordered Fulong'an to make two stops a day.

Sending such an edict is naturally not the emperor's change of heart.What the emperor thought of was Little Sixteen, who was still in the process of being vaccinated.

After all, Nala is the queen of the palace, if the journey is too fast, it may be able to catch up with the little sixteen's pox.At this time, he and Jiu'er are not in the capital, and Nala can completely preside over the consecration ceremony in person as a queen... Thinking about it, it is always worrying.

Only then did he decide to pursue an edict, preferring to ask Fu Longan to slow down during the trip.

Everything is waiting for Jing Zhong Pan Feng's greeting book.

As long as Xiao Shiliu successfully delivered the news to the saint, Fu Long'an could take Nala back to the palace as soon as possible.
.
All the way back to the north by boat, Wanxi replaced Nala and served on the empress dowager's boat.

After experiencing Nala's uproar, the empress dowager's support for the Manchu harem was also frustrated, and she was much more pleasing to Wanxi.

Besides, there is Xiaoshiwu here.

But the empress dowager is the emperor's biological mother after all, how can the empress dowager not see through the little things in the emperor's heart?

After all, Wanxi is still a woman with a Han surname from Xin Zheku. The emperor asked Wanxi to serve her instead of Nala, so she was still somewhat defensive.

This harem of the Qing Dynasty has never been out of the middle palace with a Han surname!

Therefore, the empress dowager's attitude towards Wanxi was somewhat reserved after all.Thanks to the company of Yuqin, Wanxi can still have someone to talk to, instead of being surrounded by people in the empress dowager's palace alone.
.
The subtlety of the relationship between the empress dowager and Wanxi has long been seen by Yongchang Zaizi.She was also careful, in front of the empress dowager, she did not take the initiative to get too close to Wanxi.

Only at night, when the empress dowager had stopped serving, she found another excuse to come over to greet Wanxi.

Wanxi stared at her and smiled, "Ling Zhi, you have something on your mind."

Yongchang bit his lips lightly, "The Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Qing have come here, isn't it true that only the Empress Rong is left before the Emperor?"

Wanxi raised her eyebrows quietly.

After a long while, she just smiled lightly, "What's wrong with that? Concubine Rong is all over the country, and the emperor is the only one who favors some, so it should be."

Yongchangzai pursed his lips, and lowered his head heavily, "The imperial concubine is a good-natured lady!"

Wanxi was not in a hurry to speak, and looked at Yongchang for a while, then smiled slightly, "Ling Zhi, you entered the palace late, and the days to come will be long. Don't worry, let alone spread your anger on others go on."

Yong Chang Zai made a big red face, raised his eyes to look at Wan Xi, he was so embarrassed that he was at a loss and felt ashamed.

Wanxi smiled, and stretched out her hand to grab Yongchang's hand, "Ling Zhi, do you know that there is a chaos in Wushi in the northwest at this time?"

Yongchang frowned, "My concubine knows, I vaguely heard it mentioned in front of the empress dowager in those few days. But, hasn't it been extinguished?"

Wanxi shook her head, "It's not yet known how long it will take to put down the chaos."

Always biting his lip, not speaking.

Wanxi softly persuaded, "In the Western Regions, Concubine Rong's mother's family is a Hezhuo of the Baishan School and has an outstanding status. Even if not all the returning to the city are under the control of her mother's family, but those Burkes who returned to the city are also under the control of her mother's family." They all respect the Baishan faction and Zhuo's. Therefore, if Wushi is to put down the rebellion, he must first ensure that other Huicheng will not join in the rebellion, and this requires the influence of the concubine's family the most."

Yongchang nodded slowly, "Then... the imperial concubine is not afraid, the empress Rong is going to steal your favor?"

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid. Concubine Rong is so beautiful, if she really wants to compete with me, or if the emperor really judges people by appearance, then I will definitely lose."

Yongchang was startled, then suddenly raised his eyes, looking at Wanxi.

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "Ling Zhi, in this harem, not all concubines just compete for favor with each other, but there is still a sincere friendship; even the emperor, he never judges people by their appearance alone. My God."

Yongchang took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, "Then... the imperial concubine said, how can I get the emperor's favor like the imperial concubine?"

Wanxi lowered her eyes quietly, "It's not difficult to say, it's actually just two words - understand him."

Yongchang was stunned for a while in amazement, but finally turned away dejectedly.

Those two words are simple to say, but to her, it is really difficult - in the past two years since entering the palace, she has never had a single day where she dared to say that she understood the emperor's heart.

Thinking about it this way, even the previous moment's great ambition, even wanting to use the credit of helping the noble concubine Ling to ask the noble concubine to help her get favored... But now, that little thought has been extinguished.

Maybe she is too young herself, she still has to continue to practice in this harem life.
.
On February 26th, Sheng Jia and his party returned to Suzhou. Together with the next day, February 27th, they stayed at the Suzhou Palace for two nights.

The capital is far away from Suzhou, and Wanxi didn't know it at this time, but on the 27th day of the second lunar month, Beijing had already received good news: Xiao Shiliu was sent to the saint on this day.

This news was sent from the capital on the first day of March.

On the first day of March, the emperor was entrusting the empress dowager to cross the river and stay in the Jinshan Palace.

Crossing the river and returning to the north is a grand event, and officials and people on both sides of the strait cheered in unison.The emperor looked at Fu Heng's complexion with something wrong.

After returning to the palace and settling down the empress dowager, the emperor hurriedly summoned Fu Heng.

Fu Heng fell to his knees with a puff, "Slave, slave... just received the memorial from Beijing. It's about Brother Sixteen."

The emperor also took a deep breath, and smiled vigorously, "According to the date, is it true that Xiaoliu has already been consecrated? It must be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to submit incense, ceremonial guards and other arrangements for the consecration. I am not in Beijing. The matter is to ask them to discuss with the minister in Beijing."

Fu Heng lowered his eyes, and clenched his fingertips in his cuffs, "Return to Master, Master Shengming... It really is a copy of the inner palace's announcement. The sixteenth elder brother was sent to the Holy Spirit on the 27th day of the second lunar month."

The emperor was overjoyed, stood up and clapped his hands lightly, "Hurry up, hurry up and go back to your noble concubine and master, so that she can feel relieved!"

Fu Heng breathed in, but the circles of his eyes were already red.Fu Heng kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

The emperor's smile didn't stop, and he was suddenly surprised.

What has the 55-year-old emperor not experienced in his life?But now he just stared at Fu Heng, but didn't dare to speak for a while.

Fu Heng could hear the emperor's sudden silence, so he couldn't help but shed tears, "Going back to the emperor... only one day later, on February 28th, the sixteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother...he repeated again and again. gone."
.
The emperor suddenly laughed, "Repeated? Don't be afraid! It's not uncommon for the vaccination to be repeated several times! Not to mention others, even my Ninth Princess just thought she was going to be a saint, but after a few days, the place where the cheeks were vaccinated Then it swelled up again...but it's not a serious problem, the imperial doctor called Xiao Fangmai took care of it for a few days, didn't it heal as expected?"

"Besides, Xiao Shiliu is still a prince, so the foundation of his body should be better than Jiujiu. It's okay, I know it, it must be okay!"

Fu Heng also said with tears in his eyes, "This servant thinks the same way. Elder Sixteen, he must be auspicious, and he will definitely send Sheng Daji to him."

Today's Fu Heng has long been a man who never flicks his tears easily.But in front of the emperor today, he couldn't control his emotions no matter what.

——He couldn't help it, he was hurting for Jiu'er!
If Jiu'er knew the news, how would Jiu'er's heart ache like twists and turns, wishing she could fly back to the capital with both wings?
It's a pity that whether it is the emperor or him, the chief of the military aircraft, he can control the power of life and death in the world, but he can't control this matter.

The emperor looked at Fu Heng's expression, and shook his head, "Fortunately, she is not here, so I can hide it from her for a while. Remember, if she is counting the days and trying to find out the news, you will have to tell everyone to keep their mouths shut." No one is allowed to tell her that Little Sixteen's situation has been repeated..."

Fu Heng sniffed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will watch this matter personally. Whoever dares to talk too much, the servant will definitely not forgive!"

After Fu Heng went, the emperor nestled in the chair and sat for a long while with his eyes closed.

Gao Yun watched something wrong from the outside, so he hurried in and asked the emperor if he felt uncomfortable, and if he needed to send the imperial physician.

The emperor shook his head tiredly, "No need, I am fine. Gao Yuncong, go and deliver the order to Fu Longan, telling him to slow down on the way... As for when he will be able to enter the palace, tell him to wait outside for my order. Until my order catches up with him, the Nala clan is not allowed to enter the capital!"
.
Under the joint efforts of the emperor and Fu Hengjun and his ministers to conceal it, Wanxi did not know the news of Xiaoliu until March.

Although worried, Yuqin also persuaded: "If there is no news, this is good news, isn't it?"

It doesn't matter if the vaccination period is longer, it all depends on the children's physical foundation.If there is any accident in the middle, the Tai Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try to rush the news over six hundred miles.

If not, then it's fine.

Wanxi herself nodded with a smile, "Yes, we are all on the way after all, we will see each other soon."

In fact, Wanxi was also worried that Nala's early return to Beijing would affect Xiaoliu's vaccination, so she was also carefully listening to the news of Nala's itinerary.

On the third day of March, local officials in Shandong announced that the Nala fleet had arrived at the border of Shandong.

On the fifth day of March, the emperor was in the Qixia Palace, and wrote a royal pen and Zhu Zhu at the invitation of Fang Guancheng, governor of Zhili, and ordered Fang Guancheng to "investigate the camp on the river road and wait for the queen's boat" at the border of Zhili.

It can be seen from this that until the fifth day of March, the Nala clan had not yet arrived in Zhili, let alone returned to Beijing.It made Wanxi breathe a sigh of relief.

Counting the days with pinching fingers, the days for Little Sixteen's pox vaccination will be extra long, and in March, there should be a result.

Neither Wanxi, the emperor nor Jiuye Fu Heng would have thought that on March [-]th, Xiao Shiliu still couldn't survive the vaccination...

The news of Xiao Shiliu's death was not sent to the emperor's palace from central Beijing until March 23.

After hearing this, the emperor stood in the hall for a long time, and suddenly couldn't see the world clearly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Gao Yuncong hurried in and supported the Emperor.

However, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he turned his head to stare at Gao Yuncong, "If you dare to leave out half a word about today's matter to your noble concubine and master, I will never forgive you!"

Gao Yuncong shuddered from fright, and kowtowed on the ground, "How dare you slave! The noble concubine master is kind to the slave, if it weren't for the noble concubine master, the slave would have been beaten to death by the queen master..."

The emperor couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "Why don't the damned die?!"

Under the great grief of the emperor, he ordered Gao Yun to pass down two orders:
The first one was addressed to Fu Long'an: "According to Fu Long'an's report, he will arrive in the capital on the 23th of this month. I wrote a letter to Fu Long'an, and I ordered Yinglian to set off from Shunheji on the [-]rd to pursue him. There is an order. After Fulongan has received this decree, Yinglian can catch up in just one or two stops; or choose a place to stay temporarily, before entering the capital, and wait for Yinglian to pass the decree before going."

The second decree is about Nasuken, the nephew of the Nala family, Nasuken who inherited the Duke Cheng'en title from Nala's mother's family: order Nasuken to return to Beijing with the competent officials in the northwest, and wait for the discussion.

Two decrees were passed down, and the emperor ordered Gao Yun to retreat.

He personally took out two greeting cards: the ones Pan Feng sent from Beijing twice on the [-]th and [-]th of the second lunar month.

The two greetings package listed in detail the greetings of all the princes and princesses, the emperor's grandson Fujin and others.In the greeting note on the [-]th day of the second lunar month, Pan Feng also clearly wrote "Brother Bitong Academy" and also paid his respects.

With tears in his eyes, the emperor stretched out his hand and slid over the title.

On that day, the child was still fine; but at this time, he and the child were separated forever...

Huge hatred, overwhelmed
The emperor stretched out his arms to pick up the brush, dipped it in the cinnabar colored ink, thought for a while, and wrote the imperial pen and vermilion commentary at the end of the two memorials.

The pen and pen are cinnabar, just like every word is blood.

"Original decree that elder brother and princess Fujin are not allowed to meet, but now: she will be served elsewhere on the day she arrives in the palace. Once she enters the back hall of Yikun Palace, then you go in with Fu Longan and read the decree. No way. If we meet in advance, we don’t need to be on guard when things are over. Don’t tell the concubines other than this, just tell them the rest.”

"To Wang Cheng: The queen's matter is very perverse. From this point of view, she must hate me deeply. You and Mao Tuan should carefully check his residence and clean room in Yuanmingyuan outside the palace, and don't let others know. If there are traces of evil ways, I will play it again when I return to the palace, it will be more secret."

On the second copy of the invitation, Zhu commented:
"On the day she arrives at the palace, you will be taken to the Zhaihua Gate, followed by Fu Longan, and walked from Cangzhen Gate, Jihua Gate, and Duanze Gate to the back hall of Yikun Palace, and then let elder brothers and princesses Fujin go in. Fu Longan There is a will to go, you watch, brothers read, how he listened, what he did, write down one by one, there is no need to write notes, Zhuozhou will pick you up and play again."

"On the day you arrive at the palace, you take the ceremony with you. Once the decree is over, lock the apse. Tea and rice are served every day, and the ceremony is in charge. Two honest women in her palace are not allowed to change. The rest of the women And all the work was moved to Duanzemen for a temporary stay. Yikun Palace kept ten honest eunuchs, and no one else was allowed in. After the ceremony, he was the leader of that palace. Three women followed, now you and Fulongan Interrogate them, why didn't they pay attention to how they cut their hair on the [-]th, did they go out when they were told? Would they pretend not to know if they wanted to kill themselves? My elder brother, Princess Fujin and himself are watching. The little eunuchs are not allowed to stay, and they are assigned to work everywhere. The outside is also scattered, and only eats tea and food in the tea room every day, and his quota can't be exhausted. The bosses will discuss again."

"Decree to Wang Cheng: Find out and seal up all the queen's belongings in the palace and in the Yuanmingyuan. Once you enter the palace, please pass the decree to Pan Feng and others: 'The queen is crazy. You are not allowed to see anyone when you are recuperating. Princess Elder Brother, please only ask Pan Feng and others. This decree will be passed on one day before she arrives in the palace, and cannot be announced in advance. Only the two women who came with her are allowed to serve in the room, and no one is allowed Go out." (Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen Zhu Zhu, which was exhibited in Nanjing Museum.)
The emperor finished writing in one go, and threw down the imperial pen after finishing writing.In the blink of an eye, tears flowed in the end.

He yelled, "Bring Yinglian here! I have a secret decree, telling him to bring it back with him when he rushes back to Beijing, corner Fulongan!"
.
Ying Lian also returned to Beijing ahead of schedule because King Hongluo of Guojun also passed away.

The two sons of the king of Karma are still young, and the emperor will send the minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs to assist in handling all matters related to the funeral.The emperor then handed over the matter to Ying Lian and Hull, and this made Ying Lian return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

Ying Lian didn't know what kind of secret decree he was carrying from the emperor. He set off on March 23, and finally caught up with Fu Long'an before March [-] to pass down the emperor's secret decree.

Fu Long'an unfolded the secret decree with a dignified expression.
.
Fu Long'an had a solid idea in mind, so he formally came to see Nala.

Nala was already impatient with the wait, and shouted sharply: "Fu Long'an, you are so courageous, what exactly do you want to do to this palace?! Stop and go, stop and go along the way, today will be faster and tomorrow will be slower , are you deliberately tossing Bengong!"

"Besides, we have arrived in the capital a few days ago, and you are so bold that you dare to stop me and not allow me to enter the capital! I want to ask you, how many heads do you have, and how many heads does your family have? It's the middle palace, it's the empress, how dare you do this to me!"

Nala was still supporting the Queen's airs until now, which made Fu Long'an feel quite cold.

Fu Longan raised his jaw high, "When the master enters the capital and when he returns to the palace, it is naturally up to the emperor to decide. The servant dare not stop him, but the servant also dare not wait for the emperor's will!"

"The master lost his temper today, and it is considered to be out of temper. The emperor's will has finally come. The master can go to the capital and return to the palace."

Nala breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! I've had enough of staying in this aggrieved place outside the city! I'm going to the city now, and I'm going back to the palace!"

Only by returning to the palace can she regain the dignity and confidence of being in the middle palace.

The emperor's words were all said during the southern tour, maybe after the emperor returned to the palace, the strict rules of the court would wake up the emperor again, and maybe he would change his mind.

Nala rushed into the city and returned to the palace excitedly, but she never expected that what was waiting in the Forbidden City was no longer her dignitary in the middle palace, but a prison with a golden roof and red walls.
.
Back at Yikun Palace, the princes and princesses all came to welcome him.

Nala looked happy, but couldn't help but notice that the faces of the chief eunuchs standing behind the princes and princesses were all cold.

Before the twelfth elder brother Yong Xing came forward to get close to his mother, he also sensed that something was wrong.

Nala could not help but sneer, "What kind of rules are you guys doing!"

Wei Zhu and Mao Tuan'er led Wang Cheng and several others to come forward and knelt down to pay their respects.

After the etiquette was complete, Wei Zhu stood up, bowed with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Slaves, please invite the queen master to receive the order from the main hall!"

As soon as Nala returned to the palace, the imperial decree arrived right after him.This is a rare thing, and several adult princes have noticed it.

Wei Zhu turned around, walked up to the fifth elder brother Yongqi with the imperial edict, knelt down and saluted, "Please also ask the fifth elder brother to read the imperial edict."

Yong Qi was also taken aback, seeing that something was wrong with the situation in front of her eyes, but it was too late to dodge.

Yong Qi could only ask cautiously, "Wei Wenda, are you sure I am the one to read this edict, is it appropriate?"

Wei Zhu knelt and replied, "Among the princes and elder brothers, the fourth elder brother has already succeeded Prince Lu, so naturally the fifth elder brother should be the head."

In the past, Yongqi had always been happy to be the actual eldest son of the emperor in this way, so now that Wei Zhu said this, Yongqi could no longer refuse.

Yong Qi also took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

But when Yongqi unfolded the imperial decree and glanced past before reading, Yongqi was also frightened and turned pale!
He couldn't imagine what Nala had done to make Huang Ama furious; he couldn't help but worry, even if Nala made a mistake, before Huang Ama officially gave an explanation, Nala would still be the queen , is his aunt!

As a concubine, he had to personally read out the imperial decree in front of his aunt—she was only worried that sooner or later someone would use this as an excuse to call him unfilial.

Yong Qi closed his eyes fiercely, the struggle in his heart caused his legs to hurt even more, the pain was so painful that he could no longer support his weight.

He simply followed the trend, then knelt on the ground, held up the imperial decree towards the south, and shouted tearfully, "Huang Ama, please forgive my son for being unfilial. My son really cannot read this imperial decree!"

"My son begs Huang Ama, please bypass the Queen's mother..."

Others didn't know what was written in the imperial decree, but they were even more surprised when they saw Yongqi like this.

Fu Long'an and the others did not expect Yong Qi to act like this. When they were in trouble, the eighth elder brother Yong Xuan, who had always been a retreat, suddenly stepped forward and stepped forward, no longer caring about the eyes of others.

"Since it's Huang Ama's order, if Fifth Brother doesn't want to read it, then I will."
