Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 426
Although Cao Yong was not in danger of his life, it was inevitable that he was shot in the chest by an arrow.According to the doctor's opinion, the lungs were injured, and some "phlegm, fluid and dampness are abundant", and because of the heavy mind, "the fire is stagnant and the interior is full".

It's okay to say anything else, the only thing Cao Yong misses most at the moment is Chuyu, and it's really that the dream is so weird and frightening.

The letter sent by Mr. Zhuang through the Yamen arrived on the day Cao Yong woke up.

Because the letter was sent by the Sixth Ministry, there is an act of selfishness in it, of course Brother Sixteen will not care about that.He listened to Cao Yong talk about it a few times, and he naturally knew that Cao Yong was worried about Chuyu who was waiting to give birth in the capital.

Cao Yong always received letters from home the next day, but he didn't receive any letters from home after waking up, so he was very uneasy.It's just that he was seriously injured, and the imperial physician added soothing medicine to the prescription, so he was less awake and more sleepy.

Fortunately, only two days later, Cao Bian, the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion, came to Rehe to announce the good news, and the sixteenth elder brother felt at ease.

At this time, it was already June, and Cao Yong was lying on the bed. When he heard that Chu Yu had a daughter on May 29th, he was both happy and worried: the happy thing is that he really added a daughter, and now he will have both children; What is worrying is that Chuyu gave birth one month prematurely, fearing that her body will not be able to bear it.

Although he thought of returning to Beijing, how could he make it if his wounds had not healed?
I don't know what Elder Sixteen said, but he begged a lot of imperial ginseng and deer antler from Kangxi, and asked someone to send them back to the capital quickly.

Cao Yong can only be raised, according to the meaning of the imperial physician, it will take ten months before he can leave.

Today, a distinguished guest came to his residence, not another one, but Duoluogegebaoya who married to Horqin the year before last.

Seeing Cao Yong lying on the bed with a pale face, Bao Ya couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Cao Yong, why are you always hurt? The older you are, the more precious you are. Even going out to hunt, Can be accidentally injured, is it stupid or not?"

That day, when the unknown Cao Yong and the bloody Brother Sixteen were carried out from the paddock, many people saw it and couldn't hide it, so they could only say it was "accidental injury".

Cao Yong smiled bitterly, and he did not want to do so.

Looking closely at Baoya, although her complexion is not as fair as before, she is full of energy, and she looks stronger than when she was in the capital.For the first time, she wore a royal blue flag dress and a floral white bijar, dignified yet elegant.

Cao Yong pointed to the stool in front of the bed, asked Bao Ya to sit down, and asked: "Is this a horse race? Looking at the flushed face, he is more energetic than the capital."

Baoya nodded with a smile, and said: "Seeing the sky is not counted, it is possible to sneak around for ten days and eight days. Now I have a little yellow horse, which was caught by a servant from a herd of wild horses. Cheng Cai is good, not worse than what Sukhbaru did back then."

Because of talking about the past, Baoya showed nostalgia on his face, and after a while he recovered and sighed in a low voice.

Suhebalu is the third son of King Darhan of the Horqin Left Middle Banner. He worked as an errand in Beijing two years ago, and now he has returned to Horqin with his wife and children.

Listening to Baoya mentioning Suhebalu, Cao Yong followed the words and asked: "By the way, Suhebalu is the left-wing middle banner, and you are the left-wing rear banner. They are all in Horqin. Are they far apart?"

Baoya thought for a while, and replied: "Although the two banner grasslands are next to each other, the residence of the palace is not close, and it takes two or three days for a fast horse. However, I saw Suhebalu in Naadam last year. Now he speaks much more quickly, and I heard that his wife took a lot of effort to help him get over it."

Sitting bored, Baoya saw several melons on the round table, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took one over, peeled the skin with the Mongolian knife she carried with her, cut half a piece, and handed it over with the tip of the knife. To Cao Yong.

Seeing her so proficient, Cao Yong couldn't help being surprised, took it with a smile, and said: "This is the benefit of being married? Our Baogege has also learned to serve others."

Baoya held the remaining half of melon in a handkerchief and ate it by herself.

Listening to Cao Yong teasing her, she said with a bit of pride: "Now, I am also a mother-in-law, so naturally I can do everything. Don't talk about cutting melons, it is my Alsleng's little clothes and jacket. , I also sewed it myself."

Cao Yong has served as a retinue several times, and he also knows a little bit of Mongolian. This "Alslen" means lion in Mongolian: "You came up with this? What a grand name!"

Bao Ya nodded vigorously: "Of course I started it. Arslen is strong. He is now one and a half years old, and he is running all over the place. It's just that it's a long way to pay homage to the Lord Long Live. It's not easy to bring him here. I always want him When you are six or seven years old, you can go to Rehe to get it."

Speaking of the child, Baoya thought of something, and said: "Just now I met Uncle Sixteen before I came here. I heard that you added a daughter a few days ago, but I want to congratulate you. As an aunt, I also have to prepare It’s better to have a backup gift.”

Speaking of Li Lai, Cao Yong thought of the things sent by the Pingjun Prince's Mansion, and said: "If you are ready or not, wait first, but on my side, my sister and brother-in-law have brought you a lot of things."

When Baoya heard that there was something, she was very happy and asked Cao Yong to send someone to bring it up immediately.

There are big bags and small bags, many boxes and boxes, most of which are the things that Baoya liked to eat, wear and play with in the early years, and the rest are all kinds of toys for the little prince.

Baoya looked at the things, her eyes were a little wet, she turned sideways, tried her eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, you really think I am a little girl, and I love these things. I heard that my brother and sister-in-law I have already added a letter to my sister-in-law and said that if I stay in Beijing in the future, it will be fine; if I also come to Mongolia, I will ask the palace to show me a daughter-in-law."

The child is still in its infancy, so how can you take it seriously when you talk about kissing?Cao Yong listened, just smiled, did not respond.

Bao Ya gave him a dissatisfied look, and said: "The child fell from the mother, so it hurts to the bone. You don't have to laugh at me, even Chu Yu appointed him to treat his son like a lifeline."

Cao Yong listened and remembered that when Tianyou had just followed his grandparents to Jiangning, Chu Yu couldn't sleep well every night, and felt very guilty.

When Baoya said that, he remembered that the eldest grandson of the Cao family was not in the capital, but in Jiangning, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Not only my niece, but also my eldest niece in your family, I am also thinking about it. Which one looks good, just tell my Alslen, if it doesn’t work, tell that little guy the second wife.”

Cao Yong hasn't seen his daughter yet, but just thinking about it, it hurts so much.Although he knew that Bao Ya was talking about a joke, Cao Yong still smiled and said: "Hurry up and stop thinking about it, my precious girl will stay in front of you from now on, invite a son-in-law to come and live next to the door. "

Bao Ya smiled and said: "Whose girl is born, the parents didn't plan like this, thinking that Dudu is just like you? It seems that you are so rare about girls."

Before Cao Yong's injury was healed, he said four or five sentences in a row, but he was a little out of breath.

Bao Ya saw that he was not energetic enough, so she didn't want to bother him too much.Furthermore, even though they are real relatives, men and women are different after all, there are about a dozen maids guarding the house outside, and it is uncomfortable to speak.

After saying a few more gossips, Baoya asked someone to take the things from Prince Ping's Mansion with big bags and go back to his other courtyard in Rehe.

Although Baoya has been smiling since he entered the door, but when he left, his back was somewhat indescribably deserted.

Cao Yong thought of Baoya's past years in the capital, and Liu Zidan, who is now disabled, really felt like a world away.

Cao Yong was also tired, and Xiaoman helped him to lie down.In a daze, he was still thinking about his daughter, no matter what he said, he couldn't let her marry so far...

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Today is the day when the eldest daughter "washes three", and Chu Yu's spirit is also better.It's just that due to her severe injuries, she is still unable to breastfeed the child herself, so the Chunjun Prince's Mansion found two proper breasts from the people under her banner and brought them over.

In the past few days, every time Chu Yu wakes up, she must ask about Cao Yong's news, except for this, she just looks after her daughter.

When Tianyou was born, he opened his eyes shortly after birth; this time, after his daughter was born, it was three days before he opened his eyes.

Chu Yu was terrified, and Grandma Ye tried to persuade her. There are children who don't open their eyes for seven days, let alone three days.

Fortunately, during the "bath three" today, perhaps the nanny's nagging made the baby upset, so she slowly opened her eyes, and Chu Yu finally felt relieved.

Not to mention Cao Yong and his wife, who are separated by two places, how can they miss each other.The sixteenth elder brother is already on fire in Rehe.

How can we not be annoyed, when Cao Yong's life is in danger, Elder Sixteen thinks of the scene at that time, and he is also very afraid.As a noble prince, he never thought that death would be so close to him.

Even if he was in a hurry to dodge at that time, he still got an arrow on his arm.Now, before any of the messy things have been found out, the soldiers of the guard camp involved in the case have already "killed themselves in fear of crime", and they have nowhere to vent their breath.

Could it be that the arrow was shot in vain?Sixteen elder brother how willing to rest in peace.There was a commotion in front of the imperial court, although the soldiers of the guarding barracks died, but all their family members were wiped out, all adult men were exiled, and women and children were enslaved.

Not only the few soldiers involved in the case, but also the guards and deputy commanders above them were charged with dereliction of duty.A Ling'a was also fined for one year because of improper nursing, which caused the sinner to commit suicide.

Elder Sixteen's temperament is not flamboyant, but he couldn't swallow this breath.The feeling of being treated as a prey is very bad, and every time I recall that feeling, it makes my hair stand up.

After this incident, the elder brothers of the other attendants were also trembling, and the number of attendants increased several times.Of course, the other elder brothers have different ideas.

The third elder brother has read a lot of books, and his mind is full of various conspiracies of the past dynasties.Regardless of whether those guards really "shot by mistake", in his eyes, this is definitely tricky.

Although the sixteenth elder brother has never had anything to do with seizing the heir, he still has some weight in front of the emperor's father.Since the thirteenth elder brother "rested", he went on tour every year, and only the sixteenth elder brother followed him every time.

When the sixteenth elder brother added the younger elder brother and the little Gege, the emperor gave him a big reward.Although Empress Wang is not young now, she is still a bit of a holy family.

Although the sixteenth brother's life is not necessary, maybe this is just an introduction, deliberately confusing the eyes, the other party's ulterior motive is not drinking, but what about the remaining princes and elder brothers?
After all, the three who have the opportunity to be on the reserve are now in Jehol.In terms of superiority, there is his third elder brother; in terms of nobleness, there is the fourth elder brother who is adopted by the queen;

No matter which one is killed, it will be of great benefit to the remaining two.

Injured Xiao Shiliu, did he accidentally startle the snake, or did he intentionally start this imperial lawsuit and create chaos?
The third elder brother is a life-saving person, so he is reluctant to take risks by himself, so except for necessary trips, he stays in the garden and does not wait to move.Even if they want to go out, they are all in full battle, and the guards are doubled to protect them tightly.

For the behavior of the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother naturally saw it in his eyes, and also had a bit of disdain.Sixteen elder brother's matter is strange, but there is no need to confess to yourself in such a hypocritical manner.

The fourth elder brother is envious, and the sixteenth elder brother has Cao Yong by his side.If the thirteenth brother was by his side, he would defend him in such a situation, right?
However, the fourth elder brother felt that something was wrong, not only him, but even the guards with him felt strange, that was someone was peeping.It seemed that someone who didn't know was staring at the fourth elder brother's garden in secret, and every time he went out, someone followed him, and his movements were extremely agile.

The guards of the palace were also afraid, if something went wrong, it would not be a joke.

The fourth elder brother doesn't believe in evil, is it possible that someone really has the guts to murder the prince in Rehe?He didn't agree to add guards, but in the end even Si Fujin Nala came forward, he didn't want Fujin to worry, so he had to Yi.

Although the eighth elder brother is also trembling, he neither thinks as much as the third elder brother, nor notices abnormalities like the fourth elder brother.But after the two elder brothers added guards, it would be a bit of an eyesore if he didn't add them here, so he added them too.

In the Danbo Jingcheng Hall, Kangxi heard about the situation of the elder brothers, just snorted coldly, and said to the man in front of the imperial court: "Have you found out, what is the relationship with the fourth elder brother?"

Kneeling in front of the emperor was Fu Erdan, the Minister of the Guards, who bowed his head and replied: "Long Live Lord, although those people are indeed inlaid with white flags and belong to the same leader as the fourth elder brother, they are not the assistant leader under the fourth elder brother. At Brother Yuanzi, the slaves have also attracted people's attention these past few days, and there is nothing unusual..."
