The little lady in the palace

Chapter 141
Forbidden City, Yongning Palace.

A Zuo himself felt bored after staying in Yongning Palace for a day, so Concubine Ding asked A You to be brought in too.

In the following days, Yongning Palace was bustling with activity because of the existence of these two brothers.

Concubine Ding really likes these two brothers, no matter how she looks at them, she can't get enough of them.They also love to play with Concubine Ding, and they have to talk to grandma about any interesting things. The maids said in private that when the two young masters came, the concubine looked younger.

Right now, it was time for the two brothers to practice calligraphy, so the bedroom was relatively quiet.Concubine Toffee herself couldn't bear to stay still like this, after thinking about it, she brought two bowls of yogurt to the side hall with her own hands.

In the side hall, Azuo and Ayou were writing seriously, one stroke at a time. Ayou heard the footsteps first, looked up, and called out crisply: "Grandma!"

"Hey." Concubine Ding responded with a smile, and brought them the yogurt, "Come on, take a rest, practice after eating the yogurt."

Ah You was greedy, and looked at his elder brother hesitantly. A Zuo noticed his gaze and turned to him, and said to Concubine Ding: "Grandma, let's eat after we finish training, and we'll be fine in two minutes!"

Ah You looked at the bowl in Concubine Ding's hand very reluctantly, but when he heard what his brother said, he nodded his head and said, "We'll eat later!"

Concubine Ding didn't persuade much, she put the yoghurt aside, the more she looked at the two brothers, the more interesting she felt.

The two are obviously twin brothers, although it took a night because of the time-consuming relationship of giving birth to a child...but if you calculate more, A Zuo is only a day older than A You.But A Zuo looks like a special brother, and A You also listens to his brother in everything, as if he is a brother who is three or two years younger.

Concubine Ding sat next to Ah You, watched him practicing calligraphy and asked with a smile, "Do you listen to brother like this at home?"

"...?" Ayou tilted his head and looked at her, "My brothers are right, so I'll just listen?"

Brother "men"?
Concubine Ding was stunned, and asked deeply: "If the elder brother and the second elder brother are right, will you listen to it?"

"Yeah, since it's right, why don't you listen?" Ayou dipped his ink and continued to write while talking, and continued, "My concubine often asks us to learn from elder brother, saying that elder brother is the most sensible, so elder brother is right. Yes, we all listen. Sometimes the elder brother is wrong but we don’t know he is wrong, so we will listen, and if the father, mother and concubine say us...the elder brother will explain it for us!"

So how many children get along very well?
Concubine Ding couldn't help being a little surprised, she had thought that with Concubine You's temperament, Ah Li and Ah Qi would definitely be serious with these two brothers.Then for the safety of A Zuo, the eldest son, and the harmony of Prince Yi's mansion, she should find a reason to bring A Li and A Qi with her.

Now that I think about it, is it because I am supercilious?

Concubine Ding was in a better mood unconsciously, she patted Ah You's head and told them to practice hard, then she left the side hall and closed the door so that no one else would disturb them.

Seeing the door of the palace closed, Ah You couldn't bear it any longer: "Hey, brother!"

A Zuo frowned: "Can you concentrate?"

"I'm talking about business!" Ayou simply put down his pen, and ran to Azuo's side, "Look, is what the maids said true? Grandma asked us about our eldest brother and second brother for the first time!"

A Zuo brushed for a while, curled his lips and began to think.

He knew that Ah You was referring to the conversation of the court ladies who overheard a few days ago, saying that Concubine You had been competing with their concubine mother, so after Concubine Ding asked Concubine You to go back, she quickly took them in.He also said that their two older brothers had such a mother, so it must not be easy for them. The two of them are at a disadvantage in age, and they will inevitably be counted in the future, and the position of the son may not be preserved.

It was also from that day that Ah Zuo realized for the first time that he might not be too safe as a prince?He never thought before that his eldest brother might also want to be the heir, he just thought that if Uncle Huang gave him the position of heir, he would just accept it.

Now that it came out suddenly, it made him feel weird.

"Hey, brother, talk!" Ah You urged, with a troubled expression on his face, "Grandma seems to be worried about this too? But elder brother is very kind to us, what should we do?"

"Hmm..." A Zuo thought for a while, then shook his head, "I think... the eldest brother treats us well, so we should treat him well! What if grandma isn't worried about this matter? What if what the maids say is wrong... ...We are a family, and we cannot just listen to other people's words and doubt our own family!"

"That's right..." Ah You nodded in thought, then tugged at his brother's sleeve, "Let's eat the yogurt first, and then continue practicing calligraphy?"

"...No way!" A Zuo glared at him, "Don't make trouble! When the father, mother and concubine come back, they find that you are not doing well in your homework, and they will blame you again!"

"I'll just eat a bowl of yogurt..." Ah You refused to accept, seeing his elder brother's expression from the corner of his eye, he didn't dare to say anything again.

In Jinguan City, the moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are sparse, and every house in the city is lighted up. This is the time when the night market is lively, but now it seems that the streets and alleys are particularly deserted.

And this situation has actually been going on for several days.

The two sides confronted each other, the shining sword was drawn out of its sheath in an instant, and the arrow would fly from which direction at any moment. How could ordinary people dare to take to the streets in such a situation?So every family shut their doors and stayed in their own rooms to seek peace.

Outside a large mansion on the east side of the city, people holding swords, guns, swords and halberds surrounded the four directions.It looks like an officer and soldier, but it is different from the uniform of the officer and soldier.

The atmosphere in the house was solemn, and there was no movement around.

As soon as he entered the side room, You Zexu lay on the ground staring at the patterns on the beams in a daze, idly wondering how many hours he could live.

This feeling is actually very interesting.He had thought before that if he joined Jinyiwei, he would live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, and he might die at any time. He asked himself that he was not a very capable person, and he always felt that he must be afraid of death when he was facing death, and It must be very unwilling.

But now, he didn't have any fear, nor any unwillingness.

He was unexpectedly calm, recalling the recent events one by one, and then recalling the events of a long time ago, and the events of a long time ago, recalling everyone he has met since he was a child, and his love or dislike for everyone.

Then thinking about it, he actually wanted to laugh.

Among the pleasant memories of the past few years, few of them are related to "family".

In fact, in recent years, he rarely saw his family.When I was in the mansion, the only one I could see was my aunt. The east courtyard always seemed to be dead, and my aunt kept asking them to make progress, but no matter how hard they worked, they didn't hear any praise.

It's rare to go home, and the home is similar.Except for his parents who often say some caring words to him, the elders beside him expect far more than they care about him.

The matter of Princess Duanrou was a flashpoint. After his aunt kicked him out of the palace, the family didn't want him because of this incident.His grandfather even beat him with his own hands. He thought about these things, and he probably would never forget them for the rest of his life.

But it doesn't matter, his "life" is not long.

The door squeaked, You Zexu sat up vigilantly, and took a closer look, it was Qian Wu's junior brother, Fang Liu, who came in.

He stared at Fang Liu, Fang Liu was holding a bowl of porridge, made a silent gesture to him, and then walked in front of him.

"Come, have a bowl of porridge." Fang Liu looked at the benevolent eyebrows, and after giving him the bowl, he sighed, "Oh, haven't you eaten for two days? My senior brother is really too, in fact, you are also doing errands for others. Why bother? I just think you're not bad! Eat some food first, and I'll try to get you something else later."

Suspicion arose in You Zexu's heart, he brought the bowl to his nose and took a deep sniff, and then he sneered, "I'm taking the liberty to tell you that it's okay to put drug in the diet and ask the prisoner until the prisoner gets dizzy from eating. Jin Yiwei plays the rest of the way."

The color of Fang Six changed suddenly!

Soon, he calmed down again, and with the same sneer, he replied: "Then let me tell you, Dongchang has played this trick much earlier than your Jinyiwei!"

You Zexu slammed the bowl against the wall, the porcelain bowl shattered, and the hot porridge splattered everywhere, but in the next moment, Fang Liu kicked him hard in the waist, and then stepped on his hand, causing him to cry out in pain!
"You boy, don't toast and refuse to eat! In terms of methods of making people bow their heads, Jinyiwei is not as good as Dongchang Wanyi!" Fang Liu's boots were crushed on his fingers, "I tell you, Prince Yi's people have been waiting outside for two days. Dare to attack rashly, it can be seen that you are worried about you. You are weak just because of this, you guys show me a little bit, and quickly ask people to withdraw, let's make it easier for each other!"

You Zexu had been hungry for two days and was powerless to resist. After hearing this, he was silent for a while, but forced a laugh out of his throat: "Heh..."

He gritted his teeth and looked up at Fang Liu: "His Royal Highness Prince Yi fell into a weak position because of me, but His Majesty will not."

Fang Liuyilin: "What?"

"You saw that pigeon when you caught me, but you didn't shoot it..." You Zexu said, with a gleam of joy flashing across his face, "That's to prevent Jin Yiwei from finding something important but being in danger and unable to take it away." The message was delivered to the arranged carrier pigeons and sent directly to the Qianqing Palace... Now that the emperor knows where you are hiding, do you think he will tolerate you again?"

"You..." Fang Liu's face turned pale.

"You assassinated clansmen and poisoned the eldest son of the emperor, hoarded private soldiers to buy officials and sold officials...forced good men to sell private salt for prostitution, these emperors know all about it." You Zexu gritted his teeth and smiled, "You killed me, I will wait for you on Huangquan Road." You go together!"

Fang Liu's eyes lit up with murderous intent, the foot that stepped on his hand did not move, and the other kicked fiercely on the arm...

In an instant, screams resounded throughout the courtyard.

You Zexu was sweating profusely, laying on the ground in convulsions, looking at his arms, his eyes were in a trance again and again, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak again.

"If we are dead, you will have no bones left." Fang Liu said with a contemptuous smile, removed his feet from his hands, and walked away.

In the house where Jin Yiwei lived, everyone was worried, and Yuyin, who had nothing to do with Jin Yiwei, was no exception.

In the beginning, she was still able to chant the Buddha's name to seek peace, but now she no longer even has the heart to chant the Buddha's name. All she wants is to come up with an idea, to rescue You Zexu first, and then deal with those eunuchs.

What's more, she still has a thought that she is very ashamed of Buddhism: kill him without leaving a piece of him.

However, more than two days have passed, but no one has thought of a safe solution.You Zexu is in the opponent's hands, it seems that if they want to deal with them, they must give up on him.

that kid...

She didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to think too much about it.The military book in hand turned one page after another, it was jerky for her to read, but she was eager to learn it again.

"Aunt." Xizhen walked in with her head down, served her a cup of tea, stood beside her in silence for a while, and then said, "Is You Zexu... still alive?"

Yu Yin's hands trembled, and she forced herself to smile: "He must be alive. They want to save their lives now, and the only bargaining chip is You Zexu. How could they kill him rashly?"

Xizhen nodded and said, "I just heard from them that there is an imperial decree coming... what do you think it will be?"

Yu Yin was startled suddenly: "Imperial decree?"

After a little thought, she walked forward quickly, and when she was two steps away from the front yard, she just saw the official who delivered the order come in.

Meng Junhuai, Xie Jiqing and a group of higher-ranking Jin Yiwei were kneeling down to listen to the order.Yu Yin's thoughts moved slightly, and she didn't kneel down in the "disrespectful" way, but quietly avoided behind the stone screen.

Then she heard the imperial decree saying that Jin Yiwei should immediately arrest all the rebellious officials and thieves, and escort them back to Beijing for questioning.

"This..." Meng Junhuai hesitated slightly, and when he raised his head, what caught his eyes was the word "imperial decree" on the bright yellow silk.

He exchanged looks with Xie Jiqing, kowtowed down: "Your brother, accept..."

"Your Highness, wait!" Yu Yin stepped out quickly, causing all the Jinyi guards to be stunned.

She paused behind the crowd for a while, her gaze resting on Meng Junhuai's face: "This decree...you can't accept this decree."

"Princess!" The officials who came to deliver the decree were frightened by her, they winked and smoothed things over, "Princess is not satisfied with the weather and is not feeling well, and she said faint words, but I didn't hear them."

"No, I'm serious, you heard it too." Yuyin forced herself to gather herself in the panic, and walked to the front step by step, "We have family members in their hands, we can't attack by force, and I will bear the charge of resisting the order."

"Yuyin!" Meng Junhuai and Xie Jiqing called out at the same time.

Yuyin turned her head, and for some reason, she suddenly had an idea: "Is the Qianhusuo that my brother practiced for several years is there?"
