The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 183 Arsenic
When hearing the news, Gu Huaishu was extremely calm, which was expected.

However, the prince's viciousness has exceeded Gu Huaishu's expectation.

If you talk about it in terms of thickness and blackness, this person has a poisonous heart, but his skin is not thick enough, so it is not easy to make a big deal happen.The eighth elder brother is dark enough, and he is not very capable of humiliation...

Speaking of which, the royal princes are all too thin-skinned.Compared with the world, they are naturally thick-faced and dark-hearted, but if they compare with Aixinjueluo's family, they are all dark-hearted and not dark enough.

There is only one fourth elder brother who can directly rely on the prince when he is not in power, rely on the prince to do things, and help the prince, but he does not go out by himself to form gangs and hatred.

Whatever the fourth master does, he does it under the banner of the prince. Whatever he does, he does what the prince does. Any hatred is directed at the prince.

However, apart from being thick-skinned and flattering the prince, this person has a dark heart, and secretly plotting against the prince, he is no better than the Baye Party.

Thick-faced and dark-hearted, both are complete, and Gu Huaixiu himself would not believe that Yinzhen would not ascend to the throne.

Similarly, with a thick face and a dark heart like Zhang Tingyu, if he can't achieve great things, Gu Huaixiu won't believe it either.

Too many people's hearts are dark enough, but their skin is not thick enough.

However, people like Da Qiansui Yinti are thick-skinned and not dark enough.

Counting back and forth, among so many sons of Kangxi, I am afraid that only Yinzhen has a deep and dark way, and he is like a finger...

Thinking about it, Gu Huaixiu asked Qingdai to change her clothes, and asked Huamei to pick out a piece of jewelry with a greener color.

While combing her hair, Qing Dai said, "Elder brother Hong Jin is gone, but I don't know what's going on with Lin Jia..."

"Without a brother, the emperor will definitely intervene. This matter is so big, people who are interested will naturally stab it. Lin Jia will fall out of favor, but he will not die... Save face is always done, but in the future I can’t see her walking in front of her proudly. Without the third elder brother, she is nothing. Now I just watch what’s going on in the palace.”

Such a big incident happened in the Crown Prince Yuqing Palace, I'm afraid that many people are staring at it, wanting to take the opportunity to put the Crown Prince to death.

The big elder brother and the eighth master party are not vegetarians.

As for the fourth master, since he was originally part of the prince's party, he couldn't move at this time.

Come to think of it, fourth master can hold his breath and is not afraid of so much.

Huamei was listening, but suddenly she touched her hand, as if she had touched a wound, and dropped a jade hairpin in her hand to the ground.

"Damn slaves!"

Gu Huaishu was taken aback by her, seeing that the blood on the back of her hand was still wet, she immediately said: "I was confused, I was too busy with things yesterday, and there were constant news from the palace, so I forgot that your hand was still wounded. But did you apply the wound medicine? You don’t need to wait in front of me today, just ask Duofu to come in, and come in to serve you after you recover from your injury.”

She spoke very gently to people she was familiar with, and now she had finally got rid of half of her serious problems, so she even breathed a lot more freely.

Qing Dai took another look at Hua Mei, only to feel that since she was injured yesterday, she has been a little out of control.

There are also some rumors in the mansion recently, saying that she admires Shi Fang or something...

Qing Dai thought, perhaps it was because of this reason.

Thrush picked up the broken jade hairpin, still a little embarrassed.

"This……"

"Isn't it just a jade hairpin? Just take it and throw it away." Gu Huaishu comforted her, not paying much attention.

Huamei said: "Then you can give the servant a different job."

"You just can't stay idle..." Gu Huaishu thought for a while, and said, "You can't move your hands, but your mouth is still clever, go ask Xiao Shifang if there are any new dishes, if not, you will pay the money Go out for a walk and see if there is anything delicious in other places."

After all, a person's brain is limited, no matter how capable Shi Fang is, he can't come up with a few dishes every day, and it's good to go out to eat more.

Everyone in the mansion said that this was the treatment only given to the second wife's cook.

Now accepting Gu Huaishu's words, Huamei went out holding the pieces of jade hairpin.

After she exited the curtain, she only followed Gu Huaishu's instructions and threw away the broken jade hairpin before heading towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was quiet, just finished eating in the morning, Shi Fang was used to being alone.

He was standing in front of the chopping board, touching his left hand.

After being tied for a long time, he felt that the blood in his left hand was not flowing well. He shook his wrist all the time. He was stabbed by a fishbone this morning when he was picking fishbone, and now there are many scars on his hand.

After untying the piece of cowhide tied to his wrist, Shi Fang knew that there was no one there at the moment, and only wanted to find some medicine to wipe it off, but he didn't expect that in the silence, a water-green shadow appeared in front of the window.

Huamei felt apprehensive in her heart, she already knew Shi Fang's attitude towards her.

Presumably Shi Fang also knew her intentions, but he never revealed anything.

Impossible for two people.

When Huamei came over, she only caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a square pattern on Shi Fang's wrist from the window, and wrote a few words, but she didn't look at it carefully, and just said: "Master Shi Fang..."

Shi Fang held his wrist, his movements seemed ordinary, and then he looked at Huamei in a serious manner.

He didn't see any abnormality on Huamei's face, he only said: "Miss Huamei, but what's the matter with Madam?"

"Madam asked if you have any new dishes. If you have no idea, you can go to the cashier to pay money and go outside to have a look."

Thrush said with a smile, but her eyes were still a little uncomfortable.

Shi Fang seemed to know that she was uncomfortable, so he just said: "I see, if there is nothing else, Shi Fang will continue to be busy."

"Oh, the thrush won't bother you anymore."

After speaking, Thrush turned around and ran away immediately.

When she returned to the house, Gu Huaixiu had already left, and today she said she would go to Qi Yunzhai to make two clothes, and the seasons would change, although there are maids in the mansion, the style of the capital is the style of the capital after all.A year is different from year to year...On that day when I was praying for rain at the Ganlu Temple, Gu Huaishu heard the concubines talking, and then realized that his clothes were going to be outdated again.

but……

In fact, she never went to Qiyunzhai to make clothes.

In recent years, Qing Dai has a deeper understanding of Gu Huaixiu's habits.

She helped Gu Huaixiu pack up her things, and arranged a party?The sedan chair went to Qiyunzhai together.

Bai Qiaoniang is also getting older now, and the white hairs on her head are all coming out, but her hands are still well maintained, her face is that of a person in her forties, and her hands are still similar to those of a teenage girl. Like a little girl.Those who do needlework should take care of their hands.

When Bai Qiaoniang saw Gu Huaishu coming in, she was stunned for a while, and hurriedly asked her to come in and sit down.

Gu Huaixiu didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, presumably something happened.

"Sit inside, there is no one in the backyard."

Bai Qiaoniang lifted the curtain for her, and Gu Huaixiu also went in, and said: "I haven't seen you for a while, but now that I see you, I feel that so many years have passed in a daze."

When Gu Huaixiu was a girl back then, Bai Qiaoniang was the one she hated the most, and she only thought that this person was a little devil under the hands of Fourth Master, who was a minion for tigers.

But thinking about it now, if there was no fourth master, maybe she would have lost her head, but if there was no fourth master, her life would be much easier.

In the end, there are gains and losses, you can't have both.

Bai Qiaoniang said: "Look at what you said, although I haven't seen you for a long time, you still look the same as before, but your overall demeanor is better. It seems that Qiaoniang and others don't dare to call you indiscriminately."

Now Gu Huaishu is a married woman, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the emperor's former celebrity, and she will be even more powerful in the future.

Gu Huaishu recalled his state of mind back then, and now, in this deserted backyard, he suddenly felt a sense of security.

Ups and downs, so many years have come.

She bent her lips and smiled: "Qiao Niang can call me whatever she likes, even if she calls Gu San, I don't dare to say anything. But fourth master, it's getting worse now... Go outside and wait." , I'm afraid that the fourth master will come after the imperial court."

Those who should go to report should go, what is the situation in the palace, what is the plan of the fourth elder brother, the letter is not clear at all.

About half a cup of tea had been drank, and the person in front said that he was going down.

Yinzhen came out of the Forbidden City in a python robe.

He walked very fast. After the crown prince was grounded, he did nothing more and more, and he didn't say a word during the court meeting.

Acting under the banner of the prince has advantages, but now that the prince has been grounded by his own calculations, the disadvantages also follow.

He hid it so well that even Kangxi thought he was part of the prince's party.

Now Yinzhen does not seek meritorious deeds but seeks no faults, as long as he endures this for a while, there should be a broad road.

As he was walking forward, Xiao Shengzi came up from behind: "My lord, there is news from Yuqing Palace... Today, the emperor gave the crown prince a severe reprimand and asked him to bury elder brother Hong Jin. After finding someone to rule Lin Jia's family... , Miss Bixiu said, Lin Jia knew she was wrong, and someone told you that she will be your slave in the future."

"She is also worthy of being the master's servant?"

Yin Zhen couldn't hold back a sneer when he heard it.

Even if he is as smart as Gu Huaishu, who treats him as his slave and his dog, he is not as disobedient as Lin Jiashi.

Accepting her as a slave is flattery, and Yinzhen will not like a slave who is disobedient and wants to bite his master.

Xiao Shengzi hesitated: "Then...you see..."

Yinzhen walked and said: "I haven't figured out how to play this chess, don't ask, ask Bixiu to deal with her perfunctorily. She is no longer useful, I still need to see..."

As he said that, Yinzhen suddenly turned his head to look at the Forbidden City.

The prince is getting more and more manic, maybe it's not far away.

Gao Wuyong, who was guarding beside the sedan chair in front, said, "Master, there are people waiting in Qi Yun Zhai."

Yin Zhen guessed that Gu Huaixiu couldn't sit still, remembering how she used Lin Jia's evaluation of him back then, she shook her head and sighed: "Go."

Go to Qiyunzhai.

In the backyard, Gu Huaixiu's tea was already cold.

She asked someone to make a new pot for herself, and she could see the blue tea leaves floating inside through the fine-bodied white porcelain teapot from Ru Kiln. Suddenly, her thoughts drifted to the matter of Jiangnan's illness, and she hadn't recovered yet. Come, I saw fourth master striding in.

"For fourth master, please—"

"Fake."

As soon as Yinzhen came in, he sat down directly, picked up the teapot and poured himself a drink.

A good greeting was blocked by the fourth elder brother, Gu Huaishu curled his lips, and could only pretend that nothing happened.

Originally it was her seat, but now it is Yinzhen's, Gu Huaishu dare not say anything, who made Yinzhen the master?
She sighed inwardly, and couldn't help becoming suspicious when she saw Yinzhen drank half a bowl of tea in one gulp.

But Yinzhen said: "It's hot, so drinking tea, it's not that the court has come back from a war of words. The crown prince's confinement has been changed to three months. I'm afraid he will have to wait until the imperial examination is over before he can be released." Come out, your family Zhang Tingyu can also do things with peace of mind."

Gu Huaixiu said: "Fourth master shows love, I'm ashamed to dare to take it."

This is because he is afraid that he will unknowingly accept Yinzhen's love and pull Zhang Tingyu into the fourth master's party, which will cause serious trouble.

Yinzhen said: "Ms. Lin Jia can't die... It's just that it's not easy to find out... The eighth younger brother's people stabbed the matter of Yuqing Palace to Huang Ama. After all, Huang Ama was soft-hearted. She is very popular, but a bit unruly and naughty... Now that she is killed by the crown prince, it is the crown prince who has gone mad, which is worthy of diagnosis and treatment."

Once the emperor intervenes in this matter, Lin Jiashi will not die.

After all, she was just an innocent woman—at least in the eyes of the emperor.

Hong Jin's crime is not enough to cause death, but now that he is gone, it is still due to various reasons in Yuqing Palace.

The crown princess Shi Shi actually watched people die like this, I'm afraid she is not in a good mood.

Yinzhen only told what he had seen and heard in the palace, and Gu Huaishu listened.

Hong Jin went there in the middle of the night, his body was cold and had a high fever, the crown prince was pampering his concubine, Lin Jia was crying outside, she was so impatient, she just told people to go away.

If there is no Lin Jiashi, no son she gave birth to, and there will be no such thing as shouting rain, how can the prince be reduced to the point of being grounded?
Now all the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty are watching Yinreng's jokes. It is right for Yinreng to be resentful towards his son, but he is too poisonous.

Lin Jiashi cried until her voice became hoarse, and she was tortured so badly that she even went to kowtow in the princess' room, saying that Hongjin was going to die.

But from the masters in the palace down to the maids and eunuchs, none of them dared to come out to save people.

Everyone knows that the prince is no different from a lunatic now, he can't afford to provoke him, and he dare not provoke him.

No one knows what the Crown Princess Shi Shi was thinking, only that she ordered the maid to open the door, and when she was looking for someone to ask for the imperial physician, Hong Jin, who was being held by Lin Jiashi, just passed away. It was cold and hard.

It's too late to save.

Yuqing Palace just lost another grandson, how could the emperor not be angry?
Kangxi only ordered to educate the emperor and grandson, how could he have thought that the prince would do such a thing that is not as good as a beast?
Hearing the news the next day, Kangxi was so angry that he had a headache and almost failed to go to court.

Yuqing Palace only received the imperial decree yesterday, and received another one today, and even stopped using the money from the House of Internal Affairs. It also said that Lin Jia's pain of losing his son in such a disaster was wrong, but It is wrong to be guilty of this crime, so I specially invited the imperial physician to treat him.

Speaking of it, Lin Jiashi was a blessing in disguise.

but……

Hearing this, Gu Huaishu suddenly said: "To you, this bad chess piece is tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away..."

This is exactly what Yinzhen finds difficult to deal with.

Now that Lin Jiashi knew that the crown prince could not be relied on, and was in the pain of losing his son, she returned to Yinzhen and expressed her loyalty to him. If he can use Lin Jiashi again...

It's just that this person, does he really dare to use it?

Yinzhen looked at the tea bowl, sat there very calmly, and said, "What's your opinion?"

Gu Huaishu said: "I am not your think tank."

"Just act as a think tank for a while, so what?" Yinzhen didn't care, he just looked at Gu Huaishu, "Say, forgive your innocence."

This master is getting more and more powerful now, so forgive her for her innocence?
She laughed lowly: "I just want to tell you a lie, that is, this person has three surnames as a slave, and even his own sisters are plotting to frame her, so be cruel, who would trust her?"

As soon as these words came out, Yinzhen's eyes suddenly became colder.

He looked at Gu Huaixiu, and said: "Then what is it?"

A person who framed even his brothers, even his own nephew...

So cruel and merciless, what else is he afraid of?
So what Gu Huaishu said was a lie.

She buried her head and said: "The truth is, you continue to win over her, use her, and keep making people deepen her wounds in her ears. She likes Hong Jin, so let her remember her forever and live in hatred for the rest of her life. Now the emperor Open Jinkou, you can't touch her, before the prince's building collapses, what you have to do...isn't it to keep her from turning against the prince?"

With a son's death ahead, as long as there is no way out, Lin Jia's family should only be able to rely on the fourth master.

No matter how bad Lin Jiashi is, as a mother, she...

After thinking about it, Gu Huaixiu couldn't continue.

Yinzhen looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you still have the heart of a Bodhisattva?"

"I'm also a mother..."

But with such a loving mother's heart, she happened to plot against Lin Jiashi, and even came up with such a poisonous plan.

Using the softest part of people's hearts in the world to make the most vicious calculations, without changing face, even complacent...

Gu Huaixiu didn't know what he was.

She only knew that if Lin Jiashi gained power again, or voted for the crown prince, or sold the fourth master, she would be the one who would be unlucky in the end.

The two sisters are old enemies, Lin Jiashi will definitely not let Gu Huaishu go.

Gu Huaishu didn't dare to give her any chance to breathe.

This is where her heart is dark.

It can be said that this is the best way now.

Yinzhen never expected that a random strategy at the beginning would be led to such a development by the prince's "madness". No matter whether Lin Jiashi can use it or not, it is better not to let her turn against her.

What's more, Yinzhen also made a wonderful move on Lin Jiashi.

just wait...

The east window incident happened.

Thinking about it, Yinzhen said: "You just want to ask now, what's the next plan, sir?"

Gu Huaixiu nodded: "If the master makes any big moves... I hope I can inform the servant..."

She didn't want to be beaten completely passively.

At any rate, he can be regarded as a nominal fourth master's slave now, so he can't be too nameless.

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen actually said: "Collect debts, farm, and assist the prince."

Debt collection refers to the deficit of the household department; farming refers to his one-acre three-acre land in Sibei Le Mansion; assisting the prince means that he still has to continue to pretend by the prince's side.

It has come to this kind of time, Chaozhong eldest brother, eighth elder brother and others can't sit still at all, yet Yinzhen can still sit here and say these eight words calmly.

Gu Huaishu didn't know what to say, but as long as Yinzhen said this, then she might be able to live in peace in the past two years.

If the master doesn't make a fuss, what are the servants below doing?
At any rate, after asking a certain question, Gu Huaishu bowed to Yinzhen and said, "The slave is retiring."

"get out."

Yinzhen is still accustomed to using the word "roll" to Gu Huaishu.

Gu Huaishu was too lazy to mind so much, so he withdrew and left.

On the way back to the mansion in the sedan chair, I learned that Zhang Tingyu had gone to Shuntian Gongyuan to do Zhang Luo's work, and I thought I would have to eat alone again at noon today.

She went back to the house by the side door, but saw that Duofu knew she was coming back, came up and wept softly, and said: "Madam, Thrushcross girl... the arsenic is gone..."
