Chapter 102
Xiao Yanzi knows that she is no match for Balang, but she has rich experience in the world and has many clever ideas. When she saw her companions in danger, she quickly came to her senses and sprinkled lime powder to save the situation. Although this move is a bit disgraceful in the world, and can even be said to be despicable, it can only be done at this moment. As she sprinkled the lime powder, she said to herself: "I'm sorry, Brother Balang, this is also unavoidable."
Barang had never seen such a battle before, and his eyes were opened by the lime powder. He couldn't open it, and the pain caused him to yell: "Despicable! Shameless! You thieves actually resorted to such despicable methods!" He waved his hands, trying to disperse the fog in front of his eyes, but the lime powder was like maggots attached to his bones. Hard to get rid of.
Little Yanzi didn't care whether he scolded him or not, and sprinkled a handful of lime powder on the guards who rushed over, and then quickly helped up the three companions. Their bodies were as heavy as mountains, but she gritted her teeth. He tried his best to lift them up one by one. Under the cover of the mist, the four people took advantage of the chaos and fled, disappearing quickly in the night like four agile civet cats.
When Emperor Qianlong heard that assassins had entered Kunning Palace, he was shocked and rushed over angrily. Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he looked extremely majestic, but at this moment he could not hide the anxiety and worry in his heart. Seeing that the queen and Yongxu were sitting safely aside, he was slightly relieved, but then he started to slap the case again and loudly rebuked the guards: "How did you guard the palace? You actually let the thieves disturb the queen! What if it happened? What's wrong, don't even want your head!" His voice was deafening, making the entire Kunning Palace seem to be shaking.
The guards were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This slave deserves death! The slaves must do their best to hunt down the thieves and never let them have another chance to disturb the Queen and the Emperor." Their voices trembled and were filled with emotion. Fear and trepidation.
The queen advised from the side: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not the guards' fault, it's the thieves who are too cunning. Fortunately, Balang received Xiao Wu's guidance and improved his martial arts, so he was able to defeat the thieves. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous." Her words were gentle and firm, like a warm current flowing into Qianlong's heart.
When Qianlong heard this, he happily praised Balang: "Balang, Balang, you really did not disappoint me! You performed so well this time! I will reward you heavily!" said Then, he waved his hand to the eunuch to bring the reward, and then handed the reward to Balang with his own hands. Balang received the reward and felt an indescribable excitement and pride in his heart.
At the same time, Qianlong ordered the imperial guards to conduct a strict search of the entire palace, vowing to catch the thieves. His voice was firm and powerful, like an irresistible will. The guards took the order and acted quickly, turning the entire palace upside down.
Balang wanted to wash away the lime powder in his eyes with water, but fortunately the imperial doctor arrived in time to stop him: "Master Barang, this is quicklime! It will heat up when it comes in contact with water. If you wash your eyes, It's useless!" Balang's face changed with fright, and he quickly put down the kettle in his hand. The imperial doctor took rapeseed oil, dipped the leaves in the oil and gently wiped Balang's eyes. Balang grimaced in pain, but his heart was filled with gratitude and admiration. He knew very well that the imperial physician had superb medical skills, and he also knew that his ability to save his eyes this time was all due to the imperial physician's timely treatment.
Balang was filled with hatred for Xiao Yanzi's dirty tricks. He vowed to take revenge and let those thieves know how powerful he was. Before his eyes were sharp, he ran to Qianlong and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although the thieves escaped, they were all hit by my Heart-Breaking Palm. This Heart-Breaking Palm is very powerful, it can make people's hearts turn. Dead in pieces! I guess they are at the end of their rope now. As long as we step up the search, we will definitely find their traces!" His voice was full of determination and determination, as if he had seen the fate of those thieves.
Balang slowly shook his head, with an undoubted determination in his brows. He said seriously: "Slave, I am still young in cultivation, and my skills have not yet reached the level of proficiency, so I can't do it yet." However, people who have been hit by my heart-breaking palm may only feel a little chest tightness at first, which is not a big deal. The power will surge like a tide, and the pain is simply difficult to describe in words. Unless someone who has also practiced internal strength comes to rescue them, their hearts will not be able to bear it in less than ten days and a half. If you hold on to this power, it will burst, your bloodline will be cut off, and you will eventually die."
When Emperor Qianlong heard this, a trace of curiosity and excitement flashed in his eyes. He leaned forward and seemed to be very interested in Balang's words: "You mean, although these thieves escaped temporarily, they were actually seriously injured. If they want to survive, they can only come to you or Batu for help?"
Barang nodded, with a confident smile on his face: "That's it. I boldly suggest that we can use this to set up a The trap will lure the thieves to show up. This will not only catch them all, but also show the emperor's majesty and wisdom." After hearing this, Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed and exclaimed: "What a great idea. ! I want to see who these ignorant guys are, how dare they run wild under my nose!"
Therefore, Emperor Qianlong immediately ordered people to spread the news everywhere, claiming that the thieves who broke into Kunning Palace at night had been seriously injured. If they did not want to die, they must surrender themselves and strive for leniency.
Let’s talk about Xiao Yanzi using lime powder to save Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai.
That night, Xiao Yanzi and the three of them fled back to Shufangzhai in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she looked at the miserable and disgraced appearance of the three of them, and said triumphantly: "How is it? You can't compare to my ability. If I hadn't come to the rescue, you would have been very ferocious tonight. It’s a shame.”
After hearing this, Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai felt a little ashamed, but more than happy. They looked down at the scars on their bodies, then looked up at Xiao Yanzi's confident face, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, Xiao Yanzi is here, otherwise we would really be in danger.
Erkang said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect that the queen would have such a master beside her. The three of us can't defeat his blow. It seems that we have to be more careful in the future."
Ertai touched his chest and grinned and said: "I don't know what kind of palm skills that eunuch practiced, but he is so vicious. After receiving his slap, my chest still hurts badly."
Yong Qi He also echoed: "Yes, my back is numb and very uncomfortable. It seems that we have to find some healing medicine quickly."
Xiao Yanzi smiled and comforted them and said: "It's okay. Last year I was punished by Huang Ama and received dozens of blows. It hurt like hell. Later Huang Ama gave me Zijin Blood-activating Pill, that medicine It's going to be effective. If you take this and have a good sleep, it might be better."
After that, she told Mingyue and Caixia to get the medicine. After a while, the two people came over holding a small porcelain bottle. Xiao Yanzi took the porcelain bottle, poured out three purple gold blood-activating pills, and handed them to Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai respectively.
The three of them each took two purple-gold blood-activating pills, and then went to rest under the arrangement of Xiao Yanzi. However, they didn't know that although the Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill was a good medicine, the power of the Heart-Breaking Palm couldn't be resolved by ordinary medicines.
When they woke up, they found that the pain in their bodies had not lessened, but had intensified. They tried to use Qigong to heal their injuries, but found that their internal energy seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not flow smoothly at all.
Later, they heard the news that those who broke into Kunning Palace at night had been hit by the Heart-Breaking Palm, and Emperor Qianlong had ordered them to surrender, otherwise they would die. The three of them were so frightened that they couldn't believe that the power of the Broken Heart Palm was so incomprehensible.
They tried several healing drugs, but none of them worked. Instead, they made the pain more severe. Whenever it was late at night, they could clearly feel the palm force lurking in their bodies ready to move, as if it was about to tear their bodies apart.
The two brothers from the Fuji family, Erkang and Ertai, endured unspeakable pain from day to night. Their faces were pale and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat. They were obviously suffering from great pain. Finally, their abnormality alerted their parents.
Fu Lun walked into the room angrily, looked at his two sons moaning in pain on the bed, and shouted: "You two evildoers! What good things have you done? Tell me clearly!"< br>
Mrs. Fulun also cried out distressedly: "My son, please tell E Niang quickly, otherwise E Niang won't be able to help you."
How could Erkang and Ertai dare to say that they broke into Kunning at night? Regarding the affairs of the palace, they could only lie and claim that the queen sent people to harm Xiao Yanzi, and that they were plotted to protect Xiao Yanzi. However, their lies were full of loopholes and could not deceive the shrewd Fulun at all.
Fu Lun is well-informed and has long known what happened in the harem last night. Combining the words of his two sons, he quickly guessed what they did last night. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointed at them, and angrily shouted: "You two unfilial sons! How dare you break into Kunning Palace at night! Do you know how big a crime this is! If the emperor finds out, our Fu family will be finished. !”
After saying that, Fulun was so angry that he fainted. The Fu family suddenly became a mess. Mrs. Fulun and the maids hurriedly stepped forward to help, calling Fulun's name, and the entire mansion fell into a panic.
In the deep halls of Jingyang Palace, Yongqi was suffering unprecedented pain. The remaining energy of the Heart-Shattering Palm was raging inside his body, like thousands of sharp blades, traveling through every inch of skin and every bone, cutting into his will and vitality. He lay on the bed, his body curled up unconsciously due to the severe pain, his hands clenched into fists, blue veins protruding, as if to resist the invisible destruction. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the hair on his forehead was stuck together. The expression on his face was horribly distorted. Sometimes he gritted his teeth, and sometimes he let out deep gasps. He was like a beast trapped in a desperate situation, helpless and helpless. despair.
This Heart-Breaking Palm is a long-lost vicious martial art in the world. Its power is far more powerful than the terrifying torture methods of the Shenxing Division. Even a tough guy with strong bones can't hold up under this palm force, let alone a royal child like Yong Qi who grew up in the palace since childhood and is used to rich clothes and fine food, and has never experienced real suffering. Every heartbeat was accompanied by unbearable pain. Unprecedented fear and despair surged in Yongqi's heart. Several times, he wanted to kill himself in order to find relief. However, reason told him that he could not give up so easily, let alone let others discover his fragility, so he could only endure it, burying all the pain deep in his heart, and letting the pain consume him little by little. Devour.
In the end, when the limit of the body was exceeded, Yongqi could no longer hold on, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into a coma. Xiao Shunzi, who was serving beside him, witnessed all this and turned pale with fright, almost crying. He hurriedly ran out of the dormitory, stumbling all the way, first went to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor, and then rushed to report to Emperor Qianlong, his heart full of worry and fear for his fifth elder brother.
......
Emperor Qianlong was in the imperial study room, reviewing memorials. When he heard Xiao Shunzi's urgent report, he frowned and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He put down the ink pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then secretly summoned Balang. Balang walked into the royal study and bowed with a respectful expression. Emperor Qianlong looked sharply at Balang and asked in a low voice: "Heartbreaker Palm, is there really a way to save it?"
Balang lowered his head and replied in a calm voice: "Yes. "Your Majesty, there are two ways to rescue the fifth elder brother." Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianlong quickly asked for details, with a trace of eagerness in his eyes. Balang explained in detail. Although his voice was low, his words were clear: "The first method is for me or Batu, the slave, to use deep internal strength to help the fifth elder brother dredge the meridians and allow the blood to flow smoothly, so as to To resolve the palm force; the second method is to have the fifth elder brother beat the piles continuously for four hours at noon when the Yang Qi is strongest, and insist on this for seven days, using the power of the Yang Qi to gradually resolve the palm force."
Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but worry after hearing this, and frowned: "The sun at noon is so strong, how painful would it be if we use the second method?" Balang smiled, with a coldness flashing in his eyes: "More The painful thing is that when beating the pile wood, you have to burn cow dung, so that the fifth brother will continue to inhale the smoke. The two methods are used together to achieve the best effect." Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. Looked at Balan He glanced at it and said meaningfully: "Those thieves who sneaked into Kunning Palace can be pardoned for their death penalty, but they cannot escape the crime of living, and they deserve to suffer a little. If the queen asks about this matter, you should know how to answer, right?" Ba Lang replied with a sinister look on his face: "I know this, and I will keep it secret and never let the Queen know."
...
On the other side, in Jingyang Palace, the atmosphere was tense and solemn. . Emperor Qianlong heard that Yongqi had fainted. Although he was dissatisfied, he felt more love for his son. He hurried to Jingyang Palace, and as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Yongqi lying on the bed, unconscious, his face as red as fire, and his body was sweating, as if he was being burned by invisible flames. Emperor Qianlong's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked angrily: "What on earth is going on? How could my son become like this?"
When the imperial doctors heard the emperor's angry rebuke, they were all frightened. At a loss, he knelt on the ground, trembling. Emperor Qianlong was even more furious when he saw this, and his voice was like thunder: "You are all a bunch of quack doctors! What use do I have in raising you?" After a while, all the imperial doctors arrived, and together they diagnosed Yongqi, their busy figures under the candlelight. Seeming extremely nervous.
As the chief of the Taiyuan Hospital, Dr. Hu had beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead. He carefully reported to Emperor Qianlong: "Brother Five, the yin energy has invaded the body, causing the meridians to be blocked. Qi and blood are in disorder, and the heart and lungs are damaged. If it is not cleared in time, it may be life-threatening." Emperor Qianlong was shocked when he heard this, and quickly ordered the imperial doctors to give full treatment, with unquestionable dignity in his voice. Dr. Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said solemnly: "If it were ordinary Yin Qi, Wei Chen could still use Yang medicine to clear it. But the Yin Qi that invaded this time was very strange and extremely sticky. It was deeply entrenched. The eight extraordinary meridians of the fifth elder brother seem to be closely connected with the vitality of the fifth elder brother, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to separate them.”
When Emperor Qianlong heard this, his heart sank, and his eyes revealed deep worry. He looked at Yong Qi who was unconscious on the bed, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart. This son, who was both civilized and military, had always been his pride, but now he suffered such a disaster. How could he not feel heartbroken? He clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails into his palms, but he didn't even notice it. He made up his mind to save Yongqi no matter what, and he could not let this outstanding son perish like this.
So Emperor Qianlong ordered that a way to rescue Yongqi should be found at all costs. He sent the most elite secret guards in the palace to find famous doctors in the world. At the same time, he also asked Balang and Batu to be ready to clear Yongqi's meridians at any time. A battle of life and death quietly began in Jingyang Palace. And in this contest, where will Yongqi's fate go? Everyone is looking forward to the once high-spirited fifth elder brother standing back up and shining his light again.
In Jingyang Palace, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on everyone's face, making them look particularly dignified. Doctor Hu stood by the bed, his brows furrowed, sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping silently on the embroidered carpet. He raised his sleeves and carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead. The face covered with traces of time was full of embarrassment and helplessness. "Old minister, I have been practicing medicine for so many years, but I have never encountered such a weird evil disease. Now I really don't know what medicine to use." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting aside, wearing a dragon robe, but his majestic face was full of confusion and anxiety at this moment. He stared closely at Yong Qi on the bed. His son, who was usually energetic and capable in both civil and military affairs, was pale and unconscious at the moment. "The weather is getting colder, and it's common for people to feel a bit cold. Why is Yongqi so strangely ill?" His tone was full of confusion and worry, as if he was talking to himself or asking for help. Everyone present seeks answers.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Hu examined Yongqi carefully. He gently placed his fingers on Yongqi's wrist, feeling the weak pulse. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he heard that the harem was not peaceful recently, so he thought about it in his mind. He estimated that Yongqi probably secretly went to Kunning Palace at night, and ended up bumping into the masked man with the heart-breaking palm of Balang. Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tighten. The secrets and entanglements in the harem were far more complicated than he imagined.
Yong Qi is a prince, and the queen is his aunt's mother. For him to break into his aunt's palace without permission is extremely disrespectful and unfilial! If this spreads out, where will the royal family's face be put? These people present may all suffer. Doctor Hu couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought of this. He looked up at Emperor Qianlong and then at Yong Qi on the bed, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The people in Tai Hospital are all carefully selected. They are all very shrewd and cautious when serving the nobles, for fear of making any mistakes. If you talk too much, you are simply seeking death. Therefore, although Dr. Hu had some guesses in his mind, he did not dare to say them out easily. He looked at Emperor Qianlong and swallowed the words as they reached his lips. He just pursed his lips tightly, as if to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.
When Emperor Qianlong saw this, he was even more anxious. He slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Speak quickly! Don't hesitate! If you can't save my son, you will all be buried with him!" His voice was deafening, shaking the entire Jingyang Palace. As if shaking.
Dr. Hu was so frightened that he trembled all over. He gritted his teeth and risked his life: "I dare not deceive the emperor. The fifth elder brother was injured by the power of his family's palm. This palm method is extremely vicious and can It made people's hearts burst and die in an instant. Fortunately, the person who applied the palm was not strong enough and could not kill him with one blow, so the fifth elder brother was lucky enough to survive..." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to do it again. Look into the eyes of Emperor Qianlong.
Emperor Qianlong was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened, as if he wanted to carve the words of Imperial Physician Hu into his heart word by word. "Internal palm power? How could there be such a master in the harem..." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what Barang said last night. Balang once said that the three masked men in Kunning Palace were all hit by his Heart-Breaking Palm, and he could use this opportunity to lure them out. Thinking of this, Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
The sinister palm power specifically attacks the heart? Could it be that Yong Qi was one of the assassins last night... This thought flashed across his mind, and Emperor Qianlong shook his head violently, as if to get rid of this terrible idea from his mind. "No, it's impossible! How could my son, who has always been virtuous and filial, do such a treacherous thing? It must be a coincidence!" He murmured to himself, as if he was convincing himself or seeking some kind of comfort. .
However, the doubts in his heart grew like weeds, making him unable to rest at ease. He stood up suddenly and ordered Li Yu beside him: "Go and call Balang!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if to cut off all doubts and entanglements.
“Cha!” Li Yu responded, turned around and left quickly. He secretly muttered in his heart: "Fifth elder brother, fifth elder brother, you are playing with fire and burning yourself!" However, he did not dare to show any slightness and quickly brought Balang to Jingyang Palace.
As soon as Balang walked into Jingyang Palace, he felt the solemn atmosphere. He knelt on the ground and saluted: "I see you, Your Majesty." His voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.
Emperor Qianlong waved his hand: "No courtesy, go and see the fifth elder brother." His tone was full of anxiety and expectation, as if all his hopes were pinned on Balang.
“Cha!” Balang responded, walked to Yongqi’s bed and looked at his face carefully. A complicated light flashed in his eyes, as if he was seeing through Yong Qi's body, and as if he was seeing through all the entanglements and secrets in the harem. He took Yongqi's pulse again, and after confirming it was correct, he turned to Emperor Qianlong and said, "Your Majesty, the fifth elder brother was indeed struck by the Heart-Breaking Palm. The pulse showed that this palm was indeed issued by a slave." His voice was calm and calm. Firm, as if stating a fact or pronouncing a verdict.
The palm technique Balang learned from Queen Dayan is of great significance to him. He is well aware of the power and insidiousness of this palm technique, as well as the secret and mission behind this palm technique. Moreover, he is now ordered to protect the queen, so he is not afraid of Emperor Qianlong's wrath. He stood there as if he were an unshakable mountain, quietly waiting for Emperor Qianlong's decision.
Hearing Balang's words, Emperor Qianlong seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his mind was buzzing. Yongqi! It turned out to be Yong Qi! The son he had placed high hopes on and wanted to establish as the crown prince actually wanted to kill the queen! This fact hit him like a bolt from the blue, almost too much for him to bear. He widened his eyes and stared at Barang closely, as if he wanted to find some comfort and explanation from him. However, Barang just stood there quietly, without speaking or expression. There was a deep helplessness and sadness in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for what Yong Qi had done, and also seemed helpless about the entanglements and secrets in the harem.
Emperor Qianlong took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock and anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time for an attack. He must calm down and deal with this matter properly. He waved his hand to signal Balang to step back, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yong Qi quietly. His heart was full of complex emotions and entanglements, including disappointment and anger towards Yongqi, as well as worry and love for him. He didn't know how to face this fact, nor how to deal with it. He only knew that this incident would have a profound impact and shock on the entire harem and the entire royal family. And he himself will also fall into an unprecedented dilemma and choice.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair in Jingyang Palace, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms, but he felt no pain at all. His eyes were as sharp as knives, as if they could penetrate all hypocrisy and concealment, and look directly at the truth hidden in the darkness. Although he still didn't know that the queen was actually the mother of Queen Dayan, this identity was lurking in the unknown abyss like thunder. Once she made a mistake, the entire Aixinjueluo family would be buried with her. But at this moment, what shocked him even more was that the queen, that dignified, virtuous and caring woman, turned out to be Yongqi's aunt! A son killing his mother, such an act of defiance and treason, is simply the most unforgivable crime in the world!
Qianlong's chest rose and fell violently, and anger burned in his heart, almost swallowing up his sanity. He was shaking with anger, and his eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed. He was like an enraged lion, ready to pounce on any enemy who dared to challenge his authority. However, as an emperor, he must remain calm and not let his emotions influence his judgment.
He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked in a low and powerful voice: "Barang, how are you going to cure this injury from the Broken Heart Palm?" His eyes were fixed on it. Looking at Balang, he seemed to place all his hopes on this highly skilled guard.
Barang could not help but feel a shiver in his heart when he felt Emperor Qianlong's burning eyes. He replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the injury caused by the Heart-Breaking Palm is not trivial. It can be resolved by beating the pile for four hours at noon every day for seven consecutive days, and then using the smoke of cow dung to bake it." After that, He glanced at Qianlong secretly and saw that Qianlong's face was unpredictable, as if he was both surprised and helpless about this treatment method.
When Qianlong heard this, he was so angry that he smiled, with a bit of bitterness and ridicule in his smile. "Using cow dung to smoke and bake is quite unique." There was a bit of helplessness and anger in his words, as if he was laughing at the absurdity and injustice of the world.
When Balang saw this, he was secretly glad that he had not angered the emperor. He went on to say: "The assassin I slapped last night, the other two yelled 'you' and ran away. The fifth elder brother Yongqi has always had a good relationship with the two brothers from the Fu family. I would venture to guess that those two The individuals may be Falkang and Fultai."
When Emperor Qianlong heard this, his expression changed and he shouted angrily: "Bold!" His voice was deafening, as if the entire Jingyang Palace was shaking. "Everything in the world is the land of the king; within the four seas, everyone is the king's ministers. In this harem, only the men of the Aixinjueluo family can be called 'Lord'. What are Fulkan and Fultai? But what are they?" You are just a slave, but you dare to call me 'Master' in front of me?" His tone was full of anger and disdain, as if those two names were an insult to his authority.
Balang was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and confessed, saying in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is what you call me in the palace. It's a slave who made a mistake." His forehead was bruised, but he didn't. Dare to have the slightest pause. Qianlong became even more angry after hearing this. He slammed the table so hard that all the tea cups on the table jumped.
Recalling that in the past, Qianlong granted the Sixth Palace and promoted the Wei family to his concubine. I also heard that her cousin had two sons who were both civil and military. Because he felt pity for his concubine's poor background, he promoted the Fu family brothers to serve as imperial guards. At that time, he still felt that these two young people were ambitious and talented, and they were rare pillars of talent. I don’t know when, these two people got so close to Yongqi, and they even learned to call them ‘Master’. He didn't realize it before. Firstly, he was fascinated by the story of Princess Huanzhu. Secondly, he was a longevity king with stable luck, so he didn't pay too much attention to these details. However, once you have such thoughts, it is difficult to change them.
Coupled with the appearance of Li Qingge, a time traveler, the original story was disrupted. Li Qingge, that mysterious and intelligent woman, her arrival seemed like a breeze, blowing away the dullness and depression of the harem. However, her appearance also brings countless mysteries and variables. There was an agreement between her and Qianlong to abdicate, and the sixty-year destiny of being emperor was about to be abandoned halfway. In this way, the previous mysteries slowly surfaced.
Qianlong's thoughts were like a wild horse running wild, galloping endlessly. He was furious and immediately ordered Li Yu to check whether the Fuji brothers had also been hit by the Heart-Breaking Palm. Li Yu followed the order and disappeared outside the door of Jingyang Palace like a ghost. Not long after, he came back to report, and it was exactly what Balang said. In order to cover up the truth, Fulun also lied that the two of them were possessed by evil spirits and were asking Taoist monks to exorcise them.
When Qianlong heard the news, he became even more convinced that Yongqi, Erkang, and Ertai were the assassins who broke into Kunning Palace. There were many doubts in his heart. He didn't know why Yongqi took the risk to break into the queen's palace. There must be some important hidden secret in it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down. However, the anger and doubt were like wildfire that could not be extinguished.
He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes burning like fire, as if he wanted to penetrate all the fog and lies. He knew that he had to find out the truth himself, no matter how cruel and ruthless the truth was. Because he was Emperor Qianlong and the ruler of the Qing Dynasty. He could not tolerate anything that threatened his authority and the country.
So, he ordered Yongqi, Erkang, and Ertai to be placed under house arrest in their respective palaces, guarded by heavy troops, and no one was allowed to visit. At the same time, he secretly sent his confidants to investigate the matter secretly, vowing to get to the bottom of it. A palace storm is brewing quietly...
What on earth is going on? The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the Forbidden City deeply. The moonlight filtered through the clouds and dappled the splendid palace, but could not shine into the complicated and indistinguishable heart of Emperor Qianlong. His face flickered in the dim candlelight, red and white, as if it was an external reflection of his inner struggle.
Emperor Qianlong's thoughts were like fallen leaves in the strong wind, flying around. A thought was like a sudden lightning, piercing the fog in his heart - Could it be that Yong Qi, the always gentle and elegant fifth elder brother, had already understood the ulterior secret between the Queen and the Great Yan Queen Li Qingge? After realizing that he had no hope of inheriting the throne because of this secret, he decided to break the pot and drag the Queen and the Twelve Elders into the water at all costs?
Li Qingge, the queen from Dayan, her name caused ripples in Qianlong's heart. Not only does she have the beauty to captivate the country, but she also has the intelligence and courage to match that of a man. Qianlong could imagine that once something unexpected happened to the empress and the twelfth prince, Li Qingge would be furious, and the raging flames would be enough to devour everything, including his fantasy of abdicating the throne. By then, Dayan's iron hoof will surely break through the northern border, the Qing Dynasty will be in danger, the Aisinjueluo family's hundreds of years of foundation may be destroyed, and even he himself will not be able to escape misfortune.
Thinking of this, the anger in Emperor Qianlong's chest seemed to be doused with oil, and instantly burned into a blazing flame, almost swallowing him whole. He was furious, like a volcano about to erupt, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white with anger. If you don't get the throne, you will destroy everything, and even drag the whole clan to be buried with you. This is simply crazy and a crazy move to perish together!
"Aixinjueluo Yongqi, are you really my son? How can your heart be so vicious?" Emperor Qianlong shouted in his heart, but his voice was so low that only he could hear it. However, just as he was raging with anger, another thought extinguished his anger like cold water - fortunately, there is no way out. Li Qingge had already taken precautions and sent two masters, Balang and Batu, to practice the Heart-Breaking Palm to protect the queen at all times. If not, the Aixinjueluo royal family might have ceased to exist.
Emperor Qianlong's mood wandered between anger and happiness. In the end, he picked up the red sandalwood stool next to him and raised it high. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he wanted to pour all his anger into eternal life. On Qi. However, before the stool touched Yong Qi's hair, it fell heavily back to the original place, making a loud "bang" sound that made the candlelight in the hall sway unsteadily.
Emperor Qianlong let out a long sigh, which contained too much helplessness and pain. He recalled that when Queen Xiaoxian died, he reprimanded his eldest brother Yonghuang and third brother Yongzhang in a fit of anger, which resulted in the death of his two children due to fear. That incident became an eternal pain in his heart and made him feel guilty to this day. However, as an emperor, he has a huge reputation, so even if he is wrong, he cannot admit it easily.
Although Yongqi is unfilial, she has been his sweetheart for many years. Yonghuang and Yongzhang are already dead. If Yongqi is killed again, then... Emperor Qianlong felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart: "Children are all debts from previous lives. The Qing Dynasty is about to fall. Raising one more evil son will not harm the country and the country. Just give him a mouth to eat."
With a "clang", the heavy red sandalwood stool fell weakly to the ground, which seemed to symbolize the heavy decision in Emperor Qianlong's heart. He immediately ordered, his voice low and powerful: "When the fifth elder brother wakes up, tell him the method of transforming palms taught by Balang. In addition, the imperial guards Fulkang and Fultai, who have misbehaved and offended the Holy Spirit, will be punished." Play forty times as a warning to others!"
After a short pause, Emperor Qianlong gave Li Yu a meaningful look, with a warning in his eyes. He also had expectations: "After the beating, send the imperial doctor to treat their injuries. Don't leave any hidden dangers. It will not be good if it affects the fertility." Li Yu was shocked when he heard this, and then responded respectfully: "I obey my orders!" < br>
"I know, hurry up and get ready, make sure it's done properly!" Emperor Qianlong's voice sounded again, with unquestionable majesty. When the queen is assassinated, there must be an explanation; when the emperor is angry, someone must be punished.
