The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 616
"Demon concubine?" Yinzhen snorted coldly, and threw the confession in his hand to the ground, "Why haven't you been sentenced? Are you waiting for the order from me personally? If you confuse people with such demonic words, why don't you beheaded as soon as possible?" hour?"

"Your Majesty, this Lu Siniang somehow knew about Qian Gui's matter, this servant... is interrogating herself."

This person Qian Gui is innocent, his fault lies in his self-righteous avenging for Yan Hua.He was the chief culprit for the death of the eighth and the ninth. Yinzhen did not order his family members to be beheaded, but showed mercy and asked Wei Changan to move Qian Gui's family to live in another place.

For so long, no one has investigated these matters, but in order to find all the forces that can be united, Lu Siniang investigated all the "remnants of the previous dynasty" who were beheaded back then, and immediately found that the incident was very suspicious.Especially when she saw that Qian Gui's family members were still alive and well, she became more suspicious!How could a normal emperor tolerate a family member who was a remnant of the previous dynasty alive?Because of those poems, her family was ruined!How could the family members of the remnants of those who tried to blow up the emperor live well?

When Yinzhen heard Wei Changan mentioning Qian Gui, he frowned slightly.

He didn't remember much about Qian Gui, but he knew that he had done a lot to prevent Yan Hua from being involved.

He personally agreed to let Qian Gui go back to Jingren Palace to bid farewell, and he also ordered Qian Gui to lie to Yanhua that he was going to Lama Temple to work as an errand.As for labeling Qian Gui as a remnant of the previous dynasty, it was also planned by him.

At that time, where there were any remnants of the previous dynasty, they were all just excuses that he fished out at will.

After it was revealed that Qian Gui had poisoned the eighth and the ninth, Yinzhen was very angry.Although they have been kicked out of their clan, their former identities are there after all, and the world knows it.At that time, Bafujin and Jiufujin committed suicide one after another, and the capital was full of wind and rain. All kinds of turbulent undercurrents seemed to be surging, and Yinzhen had to find a way to calm it down.

The way he calmed down that matter was to behead Qian Gui.What Qian Gui did could not only be ended by beheading?But Yinzhen didn't want to get involved with Yanhua, if people knew that Qian Gui was the chief eunuch in Jingren Palace, then the disturbance would not be ordinary small waves.At that time, the front court will be uneasy and the harem will be unstable, and it will be really difficult for him to control it.

That's why he made people plan such a turmoil while Yanhua was holding a lantern festival in the imperial garden.Otherwise, how could someone walk freely with gunpowder in the heavily guarded palace?Can you still hide the gunpowder in the lantern so carefully?The most important thing is, how can ordinary people get gunpowder?
The reason why he made such a big battle was to let people know that not only the old eight and the nine were killed, but even him, the emperor, was wanted to be killed!Therefore, it is perfectly appropriate for him to push those things to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

If it is said why he refused to doubt Yanhua at that time, it was because Yanhua had no reason to poison the eighth and ninth brothers.Although the fact that she vomited blood was due to the letter and painting that Lao Jiu submitted, considering Yanhua's status at the time, it was impossible for her to do such a dangerous thing.

It is precisely because Yinzhen understands Yanhua's temperament and knows that she will not ruin the future of a few children for her own selfish desires, so she tries her best to keep her out of the whole matter.He doesn't need her gratitude, as long as she can stay with him forever.

"I don't want anyone else to know about that matter. After you interrogate clearly, pass on my order to have Lu Siniang beheaded." Su Peisheng came in and announced that Concubine Xi had arrived, so Yinzhen hurriedly ordered, Then he waved his hand to let Wei Changan back down.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao is sick." Xiaoxiao has a healthy body, and she rarely got sick once in a whole year.But this time he fell ill in such hot weather in June, it must be because of Zhang Ruoai's affairs.

"Tell the imperial physician to take a look."

"It must be because Zhang Ruoai didn't agree to be the forehead son-in-law, she felt uncomfortable and fell ill." Yanhua frowned worriedly, wishing that Yinzhen would make a decree right now and directly marry Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ruoai.

"Don't you still have two days left for today and tomorrow? I don't think she is really sick. Xiaoxiao doesn't look like someone who would give up so easily. If you care about everything, you will be chaotic. Don't worry about it, you may not be able to pinpoint her." You're pretending to be sick." Yinzhen was already prepared to lose this bet, so talking about Xiaoxiao was easier than the previous two days.

Yanhua rolled his eyes at him angrily, then lowered her head to review the paper after seeing what he had said, feeling quite helpless towards the two father and daughter, feeling that she really broke her heart.

Yinzhen couldn't hear her voice for a long time, and when he looked up again, he saw her in a daze beside him: "Su Peisheng, send someone to the Shang's study to see if Editor Zhang is here today."

When Yanhua came back to look at him, he sighed and said aggrievedly: "Does Chanchan think that I don't care about Xiaoxiao? Among the children, she is the most like you. Based on this alone, I am I don’t care about her. Otherwise, what do you think I’ll let an editor go to the Shang’s study? There’s no need for Xiaoxiao to go to the Shang’s study, right? You can’t always ignore me for the sake of a few children ..."

He said a lot of grievances, which made Yanhua feel a little helpless.

She walked over to him and squeezed his shoulders very familiarly, and said softly: "When did the concubine ignore the emperor? The emperor must not wrong the concubine like this. The concubine stood there without saying anything, and the emperor just looked after himself." Have you said so many words, are you talking nonsense? If someone else heard it, they would really think that the concubine doesn't care about the emperor."

The two of them said some personal words as if no one was there, and after a long time, the little eunuch who was sent to the Shang's study rushed back: "Your Majesty, Editor Zhang is here today. Eunuch Fang was talking to editor Zhang. The servant waited for a while and asked Eunuch Fang what illness the little princess had, but he invited the imperial doctor... As a result, Eunuch Fang said...that the little princess was not sick. The princess was... on purpose I sent someone to Shangshufang to lie to Editor Zhang that he was ill..."

Yinzhen glanced at Yanhua complacently, but unexpectedly she spat out sullenly: "Look, my concubine, the smile looks like the emperor's [-]% of the time, this bad spirit is really carved out of the same mold." Thanks to her After worrying for so long, he rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation early in the morning, trying to find a way to ask Yinzhen to point them to the marriage.Hey, it's really useless to worry.

Yinzhen chuckled a few times, then raised his eyes to the little eunuch kneeling in front of him: "How did you react to the editorial? Just tell the truth, don't speculate."

"Back to the emperor, editor Zhang kept frowning, pulling Eunuch Fang to refuse to leave, and asked Eunuch Fang to explain how the little princess got sick, how long it should be, how the current situation is, and how the imperial physician diagnoses and treats... ...After asking them one by one in detail, I saw that after Eunuch Fang left, Editor Zhang was still pacing inside..."

"From this point of view, Zhang Ruoai is not ruthless towards Xiaoxiao, but why doesn't he agree to marry Xiaoxiao?"

Su Peisheng waved his hand, and after pushing the little eunuch away from the screen, he also quietly stepped aside.Seeing someone approaching from a distance outside, he retreated quietly.

"A man always wants to save face, but if Zhang Ruoai would rather save face than go back on his promise, then in my opinion, don't blame this marriage." Since he decided to keep Xiaoxiao in the capital, he naturally wanted to point her out. It's good to be a wishful gentleman, if this Ruoai is so stubborn, then don't mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Peisheng walked in with a smile: "Your Majesty, Editor Zhang didn't hand over the sign, but he wants to see the Emperor..."

"Quickly pass it on!" Yinzhen glanced at Yanhua, motioning for her to sit in the East Nuan Pavilion first, Yanhua nodded, and retreated with a smile.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I have the courage to ask you for something." Zhang Ruoai saluted respectfully, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his eyebrows.

"Zhang Qing, but it's okay to say." Yin Zhen's face has long since returned to its cool and solemn face, completely gone from the gentleness when he and Yan Hua talked with a smile just now.

"I heard from the fifth princess that the emperor wanted to marry the princess to Mongolia for marriage. I felt that this matter...was inappropriate. I didn't dare to discuss the matter of marriage. I just felt that...the fifth princess has a straightforward temper. , not suitable as a candidate for marriage." Zhang Ruoai's face turned pale, as an editor, he was not qualified to discuss such important matters with the emperor.

He heard that the Junggar tribe had been defeated, and they were already lingering on their last legs. He wondered if the emperor would marry the princess to the Junggar tribe?The people from the Junggar tribe have repeatedly attacked, he is afraid that they have no peace at all, and they will only suffer if they marry Xiaoxiao.

"Zhang Qing is the editor of the Imperial Academy. It is really bold to discuss this matter." Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, feeling a little angry.It's such a time, and he still doesn't want to ask for marriage in person?
Zhang Ruoai secretly pinched himself, in fact, even now, he is still not sure if he is willing to be Xiaoxiao's forehead.Xiaoxiao is too different from the wife he had in mind. He can't recite poems, fight against each other, and he is not proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Although she inexplicably gained the title of "Wonderful Woman with Sword, Brave, Qin and Heart" after she danced a sword dance on August [-]th last year, in his opinion, she was nothing more than a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

Although his affection for Xiaoxiao is gradually increasing day by day, the idea that Xiaoxiao is a useless princess has long been deeply rooted in his heart.

Hongli talked with him many times. Hongli once asked him: "You are the son of Mr. Zhang, and now you are in the officialdom. Do you know that your marriage is not up to you? Who is my emperor Ama referring to?" You, whether you like it or not, you have to marry. If not, you will be against the decree. You are also aware of the consequences of rebellion. When I first learned that Xiaoxiao fell in love with you, I did not agree. Since ancient times, If you talk about fickleness and ignorance, don’t send out people who read sage books widely. Xiaoxiao is simple-minded, if you can’t find someone who treats her sincerely, you will let her down..."

"If there is nothing else, Zhang Qing will step back." Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Yin Zhen had a hint of impatience in his eyes, and he did not want to talk to him anymore, so he waved his hand and stopped looking at him.
