The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 40
Gu Qinghuan stretched his neck and looked at the golden cake carefully.

It's worth the money just by looking at it.

No wonder at that time Eunuch Ying took such a big risk to wrap her in a straw mat and throw her out of the palace.

"Cough cough."

Yinzhen coughed lightly, which immediately interrupted Gu Qinghuan's thoughts.

Gu Qinghuan immediately came back to his senses, and continued to interrogate Ying Gonggong: "What is this? Is there anything special? Can it be used to testify against Suiyuan?"

"Miss Qinghuan, please take a closer look."

Eunuch Ying squatted down his fat body, picked up the gold cake with difficulty, and brought it to Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan glanced at it with disgust, but didn't take it.However, she could clearly see the pattern on the golden cake.

That's Di Bird!

She remembered it all at once.

During the Chinese New Year this year, among the gifts from Lord Kangxi, there were several gold cakes like this.

However, the gold cake that Empress Xiaoyi got had the pattern of a phoenix on it.And on top of the golden cake in front of him is Di Niao.

The shape of the luan bird is similar to that of a phoenix. In ancient times, emperors have always been known as the real dragon emperor, while the queen is a phoenix.

At that time, Empress Xiaoyi was just an imperial concubine, so naturally she couldn't use the pattern of a phoenix.But... she is the same queen, so it is appropriate to use a phoenix that is very similar to a phoenix.

As for Zhai Bird...

Gu Qinghuan remembered that the gold cake that Concubine De got at that time had this pattern on it.

So to say…

It's really inseparable from Concubine De.

"This thing was given to me by Sui Yuan."

Yinggong said: "At that time, I didn't know that she was Aunt Shuyi's niece. Now that I think about it, maybe it was the concubine De who gave the things to Aunt Shuyi as a reward, and then it went into Suiyuan's hands."

There are not many things about Sui Yuan that can make Eunuch Ying, a small steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fall in love with him.

This gold cake is also one of them.

"Fourth brother."

When Gu Qinghuan asked here, he already had a plan in mind, so he looked at Yinzhen and said, "It's true that this thing came from the palace of the Concubine De. It's just..."

"This thing seems to be precious, but it is actually nothing to Empress Defei. If this proves it, if Empress Defei says that she rewarded Aunt Shuyi, and Aunt Shuyi says that she lost it..."

Even if they cannot be convicted.

Instead... Concubine De would question why she brought the offender back to the palace again, and even wanted to pour dirty water all over her.

"Ah."

Yinzhen nodded.Of course, he understood this truth.

Eunuch Ying's eyes widened, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.He stepped back and fell to the ground.

Just at this time...

The purse hanging from Eunuch Ying's waist happened to fall down.

At the same time, a thing that was tied to the purse was also scattered beside it.

"and this!"

Eunuch Ying glanced at the things scattered on the ground, pointed to it and said, "With this, it can prove that this matter is inseparable from Sui Yuan and Aunt Shuyi!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Yinzhen led Su Peisheng to the gate of Yonghe Palace.

Everyone in the Yonghe Palace was busy, and they were very surprised to see Yinzhen coming.After being stunned for a while, someone went in to report.

Not long after, Aunt Shuyi came out.

"Why is fourth elder brother here?" Aunt Shuyi was also slightly surprised.At the same time, in my heart, I was also on guard.

"Can't I come to visit Empress Defei if I have nothing to do?" Yin Zhen's tone was very cold, and asked: "I don't know where is Empress Defei at this time?"

"Please come with me, Brother Si."

Aunt Shuyi had no choice but to lead Yinzhen inside.

In the dormitory, Concubine De was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, and was feeding the little guy in front of her spoonful by spoonful.

The little guy's face was a little sallow, and his cheeks were thin.Although his eyes were bright, his whole body looked sick no matter how he looked.

The one on the bed was Defei's second son, the sixth elder brother Yinzuo.

Yin Zuo has not been in very good health since he was born, and he has been raised carefully until now, but he still gets sick every now and then.

Concubine De was very worried about this, and she always stayed by the bedside to take care of Yinzuo.

"Empress Defei, the fourth elder brother is here."

Aunt Shuyi jumped over the screen to report, with a bitter expression on her face.

Just now Concubine De asked her to find a way to get rid of him.

But what kind of person is the fourth elder brother, how can he be dismissed so easily?

Sure enough, Concubine De frowned slightly, and took a look outside.

Yinzhen was waiting outside.Looking at that posture, he must come in.

"Let him come in." Concubine De said lightly, and took the spoon in her hand to feed Yinzuo medicine, saying: "My dear Yinzuo, this is the last bite."

Yinzuo finished drinking the medicine obediently, before he could put a plum in his mouth, he hurriedly asked, "Is the fourth brother here?"

A gleam of joy suddenly appeared on the sickly little guy's face.

"Yes."

At the same time as Concubine De nodded, Yinzhen had already entered.

"Fourth brother?" Yinzuo glanced at Yinzhen and asked, "Is fourth brother here to see me? I haven't seen fourth brother for a long time. This illness has been half a month..."

"Cough cough cough-"

Yin Zuo had just finished speaking when he coughed violently.

"You stop talking."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzuo, with rare caring in his eyes, and said: "You have to listen carefully to what the imperial doctor said, and you will get better soon, you know?"

"I know the fourth brother."

Yinzuo nodded vigorously, smiled again, and said, "When I get better, I will go to the Imperial College with my fourth brother to study."

"All right."

Concubine De interrupted the conversation between the two brothers at this time.

"You are still sick, take care of yourself first. Take the medicine and rest for a while, I have something else to say to your fourth brother."

"En." Yin Zuo obediently responded, and pulled Concubine Lade's sleeve.

As if, she hoped that Concubine De would be able to talk to Yinzhen better.

Yinzhen and Concubine De arrived in the side hall very quickly.

The charcoal fire in the side hall was very hot, and Yinzhen felt a little uncomfortable, so he tugged on his neckline, hoping to breathe a little bit.

"Tell me, what's the matter here?"

Concubine De got straight to the point, and didn't even bother to say anything superfluous.

"Empress Defei, do you still recognize this?"

As Yinzhen spoke, he glanced at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng immediately stepped forward and presented the golden cake to Concubine De.

Concubine De went in without knowing it, took a look, her pupils shrank slightly, she looked at Yinzhen, and asked, "How did you have this thing?"

Her intuition told her that something was wrong.

"Madam Defei, don't you remember that you once rewarded Aunt Shuyi with a gold cake?"

As Yinzhen said, he looked at Aunt Shuyi beside Concubine De, and said, "Later, it seems that Aunt Shuyi gave it to Suiyuan?"

"I don't know if you two know how I got this golden cake?"

Aunt Shuyi's face was a little flustered, and she looked at Yinzhen.

"This... I got it from Eunuch Ying!"
