Chapter 105
Qianlong was so frightened that his face changed. He stood up suddenly and stared at his concubine closely. "Why didn't I know when your concubine was pregnant?" There was a hint of panic and confusion in his voice.
Lamei replied: "My fourteenth brother was not saved before. My mother was afraid that something might happen to the fetus, so she waited until the fetus was stable before telling the emperor. Who knew that something like this would happen today." Her There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice.
When your concubine heard this, she showed a wronged and helpless expression, and her tears rolled down again, like pearls with broken strings. "Your Majesty, I am guilty, but the child in my belly is innocent." Her voice was soft and plaintive, as if she was begging Qianlong for mercy.
Li Qingge looked at your concubine and felt sick in his heart. She secretly thought: "As soon as I saw something was not going well, I hurriedly got pregnant with a child. This concubine is really good at scheming." She scolded her bloody in her heart and was determined to make her pay the price. Her eyes were like sharp swords directed at the concubine, as if she wanted to see through her.
The concubine, on the other hand, sneered in her heart, pretending to be weak and helpless on the surface, but actually she hated him terribly. She secretly thought: "When the child in my belly grows up and inherits the throne, you will regret it terribly." Her eyes flashed with resentment, but she concealed it well and did not let anyone notice.
Li Qingge seemed to have read through her thoughts, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. "Who are you, and you dare to accuse me? Don't think that I don't dare to touch you because you have a child. There is no one in this world that I dare not kill." Her voice was cold and biting, like a child in winter. Cold wind.
When your concubine heard this, her face turned as white as paper, and she shed tears of grievance. She knew that she had really angered Qianlong this time, and also angered Li Qingge, a woman who usually seemed gentle but was actually ruthless. She was filled with fear and anxiety, not knowing what her future would be like.
When Qianlong saw this situation, he said to Li Qingge: "Look at this..." There was a hint of helplessness and hesitation in his voice. He knew that Li Qingge was a smart woman, and he also knew that she would not let her off easily. But he is worried that if it is not handled properly, it will cause a bigger disturbance.
Li Qingge sighed, her eyes softening. "The child is innocent, Doctor Xuan." Although her voice was soft, it carried unquestionable firmness. She knew what this child meant to Qianlong, and she also knew how Qianlong would be furious if this child had any shortcomings. So she decided to keep the child first, and then slowly deal with the concubine.
Qianlong quickly ordered Li Yu to go to Xuan as the imperial physician. He glanced at Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and others with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Take all these people to the prison, and I will deal with them when I think about it." His voice was as biting as ice, making people feel heartbroken. chill.
Everyone knew in their hearts that they were doomed this time. They were wailing one after another, and their voices were as harsh as the howls of ghosts and wolves. But Qianlong remained unmoved. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he wanted to send these people to hell. Li Qingge, on the other hand, looked at this scene coldly, thinking secretly in his heart about how to clean up this mess.
Ziwei burst into tears, her voice so choked that she could hardly speak. Her eyes were full of despair and unwillingness. The tears rolled down like broken pearls, wetting her delicate embroidery. Patterned skirt. "Your Majesty, I am your flesh and blood. Before my mother died, she told me to ask you. Just like the tenacious pampas grass by the river, no matter how the wind and rain damage it, it still sticks to its roots. Your Is your heart as firm as pampas grass? You have let down your mother, and now you refuse to recognize me. Why are you so ruthless, cruel, and indifferent?" Every word she said seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. With unspeakable pain.
Erkang and Ertai also knelt on the ground, their eyes full of pleading and helplessness, their foreheads pressed against the cold ground, as if they could get closer to the emperor's heart. "Your Majesty, we have always been loyal to you. Those deceptive behaviors in the past were all because we loved you too much and were too afraid of losing your trust. I hope you can see clearly and not be blinded by our temporary mistakes!" Their voices said. With trembling, it was obvious that he was trying his best to control the fear and uneasiness in his heart.
However, Li Qingge stood majestically at the side. Her figure looked particularly tall in the candlelight, and her deep eyes revealed unquestionable determination. Although Qianlong sympathized with them, he did not dare to let them go easily. After all, the majesty of the royal family could not be violated.
"Drag them down!" Qianlong's voice was cold and decisive. Regardless of everyone's pleas, he ordered the Ouchi guards to escort them all away. The guards acted quickly, picking up Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai and others one by one and dragging them out of the Yangxin Hall.
Except for the pregnant concubine, everyone else was imprisoned in a dark and damp prison. There was an aura of decay permeating the prison, and the sound of the clashing chains and the groans of the prisoners intertwined together to form a desolate picture. Ziwei and others were held in different cells, their eyes full of helplessness and despair.
The queen had been persuaded by Li Qingge before, and she already understood that Xiao Yanzi and others were not good people, so during this trial, she had been pretending not to know anything, for fear that she would be implicated. At this moment, she was waiting anxiously in Kunning Palace, clasping her hands together and rubbing them constantly, showing her inner tension and uneasiness.
When Li Qingge and Nanny Rong walked into Kunning Palace, the queen hurriedly greeted them, her eyes full of eagerness and expectation. "How did it turn out?" she asked impatiently, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, and that smile revealed a kind of calmness and confidence. She motioned for Nanny Rong to answer, while she stood quietly aside, as if everything was under her control.
Aunt Rong understood the situation and said with a smile: "Madam, Xiao Yanzi and the others have been imprisoned." There was a kind of joy and pride in her voice that could not be concealed.
When the queen heard this, she was extremely happy. A long-lost smile appeared on her face, as if the spring sunshine suddenly shone into her heart. "Really?" she confirmed again, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
Nanny Rong said with certainty: "It's absolutely true. What the slave and the fifth princess saw with their own eyes can be false? Only your concubine escaped temporarily because she was pregnant." Her tone Full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with your concubine.
The queen had known about her pregnancy for a long time, so she was not surprised. She asked again: "What about fifth elder brother?" Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, including hatred and pleasure.
"They are also in jail, except for your concubine, everyone else is the same." Grandma Rong's answer made the queen even more satisfied.
The queen listened and smiled from ear to ear, as if this was the happiest moment she had had in years. "Since the two legitimate sons born to Empress Xiaoxian died young, the fifth elder brother has become the emperor's favorite. Everyone calls him the invisible prince. The empress dotes on him, the concubines respect him, and the courtiers fawn over him, even if he is His biological mother died young, leaving the maternal family with no support and no influence. He is so popular that even his legitimate son, Yong Cang, has to stay away. Now it seems that his luck has come to an end." Her voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction with the fifth elder brother. Years of frustration finally found an outlet.
The queen has been in the middle palace for more than ten years, and she has always felt aggrieved. Even her status as legitimate son is embarrassing. Mother and son have been suppressed by Ling Fei and Yong Qi for many years, and their mentality is somewhat distorted. Now that they have suffered a big setback, and there is no day for them to turn around, how can the queen be unhappy and excited?
She said with a smile: "When the prince makes a mistake, the mild punishment is kneeling, grounding, and copying the "Book of Filial Piety", and the serious punishment is to enter the clan's mansion and be reprimanded by the clan. Now the fifth elder brother is actually with two members of the Fuji family. "The two slaves were thrown into prison together, which shows that the emperor is really angry." Her tone was full of awe for the emperor and ridicule of the fifth elder brother.
Nanny Rong added: "Not only that, the emperor also publicly reprimanded the fifth elder brother for being unfaithful and unfilial." There was a sense of gloating in her voice.
"Oh? Really?" The queen's eyes flashed with excitement, as if she had heard great news.
"It's absolutely true." Grandma Rong's answer made the queen even more proud.
The queen is well aware of the power of the four words "unfaithful and unfilial". Qianlong deposed Yonghuang and Yongzhang with just these four words, causing them to die in depression. Now the fifth elder brother has also been charged with this crime and is imprisoned. It is really the end. Thinking of this, the queen smiled even more happily, and the laughter was full of pleasure and satisfaction.
"I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years, hahaha..." The queen's laughter echoed in Kunning Palace, which seemed particularly harsh. Her smile revealed a twisted sense of satisfaction and revenge.
Mother Rong was also very happy: "My queen has been wronged for so many years, and today I can finally vent my feelings." There was a kind of sympathy for the queen and sympathy for the fifth elder brother and others in her voice. Hated.
"Speaking of which, the fifth elder brother took advantage of the early death of the legitimate son of the Yuan Dynasty. His mother's family does not have any outstanding talents. How can he be compared with you, the empress?" Grandma Rong's words made me sad. The queen was even more proud, as she seemed to see a brand new future waving to her.
Li Qingge was very happy to see the queen so happy. She understood the queen's frustration and dissatisfaction, as well as her excitement and pleasure at the moment. She knew that for the queen, this was a rare opportunity for catharsis and an opportunity to regain her status and dignity.
As for the aggrieved queens of the Qing Dynasty, apart from Empress Alute of Tongzhi Xiaozheyi, it was her cheap biological mother who suffered the most. It's all because Qianlong was so scumbag that he kept doing all kinds of tricks and his life span was surprisingly long. It was really difficult to be his successor. But now that she has traveled through time, the situation has been reversed, and the countdown to Qianlong's abdication has begun. When the north and the south are unified, the queen's good days will come. Thinking of this, Li Qingge smiled brightly, and that smile was full of expectations and confidence for the future.
"Mom, don't worry about those unworthy people. You just need to live a good life. Leave other things to me." Li Qingge's words made the queen feel extremely gratified and moved. She nodded, tears flashing in her eyes, as if she saw a new life coming towards her.
"Okay, I'm just waiting to enjoy the blessing!" The queen's voice contained a sense of longing and expectation for the future. She knew that with Li Qingge here, her future would be brighter.
Nanny Rong suddenly frowned and asked: "Princess, are Xiao Yanzi and the others really hopeless this time?" Although there was some worry in her tone, she was more concerned about it. Li Qingge’s trust and dependence. She knew that as long as Li Qingge was here, nothing was impossible.
If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it! Grandma Rong is well aware of the abilities of Xiao Yanzi and others. Unless they are completely eliminated, sooner or later there will be another disturbance. Her worries were not unreasonable. After all, Xiao Yanzi and others had brought too much trouble and chaos to the palace.
Li Qingge said: "Not necessarily. If I were Xiao Yanzi, there are at least two ways to get out of the predicament." Her voice was calm and confident, as if everything was under her control. She knew that only by being thoroughly prepared could nothing go wrong.
When the Queen and Aunt Rong heard this, they both became nervous and asked in unison: "What two methods?" Their eyes were full of expectation and trust for Li Qingge. They knew that only Li Qingge could give them the most accurate and reliable answers.
Li Qingge said: "The first method is that although Yongqi has been imprisoned, he has been in business for many years, has a wide network of contacts, and has his concubine to help outside. They just need to spread the news as soon as possible Go to Wutai Mountain and let the Queen Mother know, and the Queen Mother will definitely intervene." Her tone revealed an understanding of the Queen Mother's power and recognition of Yongqi's ability. She knew that the Queen Mother had always doted on Yong Qi, and if she knew about this, she would definitely find a way to save him.
The queen nodded: "The emperor is very filial, and the queen mother has always doted on Yongqi. If she knew about this matter, she would definitely find a way to save him. Furthermore, the queen mother has been driving a wedge between me and your Majesty for many years. Concubines quarrel , balancing each other, while she herself reaps the benefits. Now that the imperial concubine has lost power and the harem is out of balance, how can she sit back and ignore it?" Her tone was full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards the Queen Mother, but more towards Li Qingge. trust and dependence. She knew that only Li Qingge could help her overcome this difficulty.
Aunt Rong asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?" Her eyes were full of expectation and anxiety for Li Qingge. She knew that only Li Qingge could point out a clear path for them at this time.
Li Qingge said with a smile: "Delay time and make a quick decision." Her smile revealed a calmness and confidence. She knew that only by seizing the key factor of time could victory be ensured.
Nanny Rong asked in confusion: "I am ignorant, don't you understand what you mean?" Her eyes were full of doubts and curiosity about Li Qingge. She knew that Li Qingge's words always had profound meaning and unique insights.
Li Qingge explained: "It is a long way from Mount Wutai to the capital, and there are no means of transportation such as trains and trains. In addition, the Queen Mother is old and it is not suitable to bother. It will take at least a month for her to return to Beijing in a grand way. . If we can solve this matter within this month, even if the Queen Mother comes back, it will not help." Her tone revealed an accurate grasp of the situation and confidence in the future. She knew that only by seizing this critical window of time could victory be ensured.
Nanny Rong frowned and said with a smile: "Far mountains cannot quench the thirst of the near." She understood what Li Qingge meant and saw the hope of victory. She knew that as long as Li Qingge was here, nothing was impossible.
Li Qingge's voice echoed in the empty palace. Her face looked particularly calm and decisive under the candlelight, and her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the deepest secrets of the human heart. "If we let Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi exchange identities, and let Ziwei replace Xiaoyanzi and marry Erkang, then she will become the married Fuxia family, and all the problems will be solved." There was an intolerance in her tone. She was firm in her doubts, as if she had already considered all this in her mind a thousand times.
The queen was sitting on a high phoenix throne. After listening to Li Qingge's words, she nodded slowly. Her face looked majestic but also had a hint of imperceptible compassion under the candlelight. "This is indeed a good idea." Her voice was low and powerful, as if every word had been carefully considered. "If Ziwei can correct her mistakes, change her name to Xiaoyanzi, continue to be her daughter-in-law, and then get rid of her old old friends. servant, and then ask the emperor to issue an edict to bring the real If the princess of Princess Ziwei is betrothed to someone else and warns the concubines in the harem not to discuss the matter afterwards, then the crime of deceiving the emperor by confusing the royal bloodline can be covered up." Grandma Rong stood beside the queen and said. Her face was anxious, and her eyes were filled with fear of the unknown consequences. "We can't let them know about this plan, and we have to persuade the emperor not to do it." There was a bit of urgency in her voice, and she was obviously worried about the possible consequences of this plan.
Qianlong, the emperor of the Qing Empire, always valued face, whether he recognized the fake princess Xiao Yanzi or let the real princess Ziwei fall into the Baoyi family, A royal scandal. Once word spreads, his face will be lost. Qianlong knew very well that many things, even if he tried his best to conceal them, could not escape everyone's eyes. He knew this very well and had already made plans in his mind.
However, Li Qingge's method is undoubtedly the best solution to solve two problems in one fell swoop. With Qianlong's character, he would definitely be happy to do this. But Li Qingge made an unexpected suggestion: "No, we should let everyone know that this method can get rid of guilt."
The Queen and Aunt Rong looked puzzled when they heard this, obviously not understanding Li Qingge's intention. Li Qingge smiled, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, a kind of hidden wisdom and determination. "Although this method can get rid of the crime, Xiao Yanzi must pay the price. Not only will she lose her noble status, but she will also be forced to become a slave. The fifth elder brother has always wanted to marry Xiao Yanzi, but according to the rules of the royal family , It is difficult for a woman born in Baoyi to be a side Fujin, let alone a direct Fujin?" There was a trace of imperceptible sarcasm in her voice, as if she had foreseen the coming storm.
Bao Yi, this word is like a curse in the palace. It represents the status of a slave and is the lowest existence in the Forbidden City. If you marry a minister or an ordinary family, you may be able to be a wife, but if you marry a royal family, you can only be a concubine. This is almost an iron rule. Although Emperor Jiaqing's Queen Xitala was an exception, her special situation was related to Qianlong's strange operation of secretly appointing a heir apparent, and was not ordinary and comparable.
After hearing this, the queen immediately understood Li Qingge’s intention, and smiled and said with a sudden realization: "Yes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Little Yanzi has become accustomed to the honor and glory of Princess, How can you be willing to serve people? What about her slave? If she had really given up her status as Princess Huanzhu and told the truth from the beginning, she would not have ended up in this situation. So, even if she knew that this method could help her get away with it, she would not agree to it. ”
Content When Mammy heard this, she said with joy: "Even if Xiao Yanzi is willing, Fifth Elder Brother is not willing. Ever since he shot an arrow in the paddock to return the princess, Fifth Elder Brother has been fascinated. The Emperor may not have noticed it, but I have seen it." It's very clear. The fifth elder brother has been confused for a long time. , He will definitely not take Xiao Yanzi as his concubine, nor will he allow his higher-born wife to bully his 'beautiful and cute' little deer."
Li Qingge smiled, and there was a deep meaning in her smile, as if everything was wrong. It's all within her control. "This is exactly the crux of the problem. Neither Xiaoyanzi nor Yongqi will agree to exchange identities, but Ziwei, Erkang, Fulun, Lingfei and others will definitely find ways to facilitate this matter. After all, they have been struggling for so long, The most fundamental purpose is to raise the flag for the Lord. They can get away with it and raise the flag, so why not do it? If the two sides disagree, there will definitely be disputes. "
Aunt Rong nodded and praised: "Princess, what a wonderful idea. Just now in the Yangxin Palace, they were like fighting cocks. If they know this method now, they will definitely kill each other in prison, and they will all be finished in the end."
"Hehe, that's right!" Li Qingge smiled sinisterly, her voice echoing in the empty palace, with an indescribable chill.
"Then what are you waiting for? Send someone to the prison to tell them quickly." The queen was extremely disgusted with Xiao Yanzi and others and wanted to kill them all. Now there is an opportunity for them to kill each other, and of course they have to try to make it happen.
After a while, a strange little eunuch appeared in the dark and damp prison. He lied that he was sent by your concubine and told in detail the method of getting out of prison. The candlelight in the prison flickered, reflecting the different expressions of everyone.
After hearing this, Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai, and Jinsuo all thought this method was wonderful. A trace of desire flashed in Ziwei's eyes, which was the longing for her former identity and the longing for a noble life. Erkang clenched his fists, as if he saw the dawn of hope. Ertai had a complicated look on his face. He hoped that Xiao Yanzi could get out of trouble, but he was also worried that this method would cause more trouble.
However, the little swallow suddenly became angry as if a cat had stepped on its tail. Her eyes seemed to be burning with fire, which was her fight against unfair fate and her persistence in her noble identity. "I'm already used to enjoying Gege's glory and wealth, so why would I want to be a servant serving others? In this case, it would be better to kill me with one knife!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, full of fear and unwillingness for the future.
Yong Qi was filled with anger. He shouted: "Absurd, so ridiculous! How could your concubine come up with such a method? It is so cruel and ruthless!" His voice echoed in the prison. , with anger and helplessness towards the unfair fate.
Ziwei was emotional, tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice was full of grievance and unwillingness. "Where is this ridiculous? The position of Huanzhugege was originally mine, and giving it back to me now is nothing more than returning it to its original owner. I haven't disliked the name Xiaoyanzi yet, but you hate it instead. How shameless!" She said There was a cry in his voice, as if all the grievances had burst out at this moment.
Hearing the word "wrapped" from the mouth of the palace maid and eunuch, Ziwei's heart felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. She was once such a proud person, but she fell into such an embarrassing situation because of a misunderstanding. After being brainwashed by Grandma Rong, her mind became twisted. Now that she knew that everything was irreversible, she simply broke the pot and wanted to drag those who had wronged her to go to hell. Now that she knows there is a way to save her, Ziwei is like a drowning person grasping at straw, hoping that Xiao Yanzi will return her position to her.
However, how could Xiao Yanzi agree? She got her unique position based on her ability, why should she give it back? Not only did Xiaoyanzi not return the favor, but he mocked Ziwei. "Don't use your royal blood to pressure me and try to steal my position. Let me tell you, from the day you were naturalized and became a palace maid, you have been a slave, only worthy of serving me as your master! Even if I am a fake, I am still the emperor. Amma's pistachio, and who are you!" Her voice was sharp and mean, and every word was like a knife, piercing Ziwei's heart.
Ziwei's face turned red with anger, and she yelled: "You, how can you say such shameless words? You are so abominable! I was so blind at the beginning, how could I become sworn sworn friends with you? I have seen shameless people, but not I've never seen you so shameless!" Her tears finally fell and fell onto the cold ground, making splashes of water.
Jin Suo was also so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Xiao Yanzi and angrily yelled: "Little Yanzi, you are going too far! You obviously stole my lady's position and made her a slave, and now you are still laughing at me. She. There is a god in your head. Aren't you afraid of thunder?" Her voice was full of anger and unwillingness, as if she wanted to seek justice for the young lady.
"Bah, what kind of thunder and shamelessness?" Xiao Yanzi felt a little guilty at first for saying these words in front of Yongqi, Erkang and others, but after being scolded by Ziwei and Jinsuo, she I don’t care about face anymore. She pointed at Ziwei and said in a sharp and decisive voice: "If God has eyes, you should be the unfilial daughter who deserves to be struck by lightning! You keep accusing me of not keeping filial piety for your mother. What did you do? You lived in the filial piety period. The Fuji family has an affair with two foreign men, Erkang and Ertai, and has a secret meeting with Erkang in the deep valley. Is this the proper behavior to be filial to a daughter?" Her voice echoed in the prison, with a hint of concern for Ziwei. Anger and disdain.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Yanzi's mouth, and there was endless sarcasm and chill hidden in that smile. Her eyes were like two bottomless cold pools, shining with a cold light: "Speaking of Unfilial, you and your mother are the most unqualified people in the world to mention this word. Your mother had an affair before she left the court, and actually seduced a married man. Your Majesty, giving birth to a scoundrel like you has brought shame to the Xia family and brought disrepute to the Xia family. Your parents cannot hold their heads high in front of others, and even the sisters in your clan have been blocked from getting married because of your mother's affairs. This is you. The so-called filial daughter's behavior?"
Her voice echoed in the dark cell, and every word was like a knife, piercing Ziwei's heart. Xiao Yanzi's face looked particularly cold under the dim light, and there was an unquestionable determination between his brows.
"For the so-called love, you two, mother and daughter, are simply obsessed. Etiquette, morality, and ethics are all just decorations in your eyes. Others may not know that you two, mother and daughter, are so hungry that you want to throw yourself into the arms of a man when you see them. Hugs." Xiao Yanzi's tone was full of disdain and disdain, and her eyes wandered over Ziwei, as if she was watching a clown perform.
Beside Ziwei, Jin Suo clenched her fists nervously. Her eyes shuttled back and forth between Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei, trying to find an opportunity to interrupt, but she still failed to speak.
"The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Your mother gave birth to you before we were married, bringing shame to the clan. And you, during the period of filial piety, had secret meetings with outsiders. You are even more despicable and shameless than the women in the brothel. !" Xiao Yanzi's words were like poisonous arrows, shooting at Ziwei one after another, leaving her nowhere to hide.
At this time, Xiao Yanzi seemed to be swallowed up by the flames of hatred, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with revenge. Her voice echoed in the cell, carrying an indescribable sadness and determination.
After hearing this, Ziwei's heart was as sharp as a knife. She opened her eyes wide and glared at Xiao Yanzi, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with a thousand knives. "You bitch, it's okay to scold me, but you dare to involve my mother! When you were a princess, you got into so many troubles. You used my mother as a shield every time, which caused my mother's reputation to be damaged. This money I haven't settled the debt with you yet, but you still have the nerve to mention my mother? You, you..." Ziwei was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
Upon seeing this, Jinsuo quickly supported Ziwei, her eyes full of anger and worry. She glared at Xiao Yanzi and said in a trembling voice: "Little Yanzi, Miss is so kind to you, how could you do this? Has your heart been eaten by a dog? Repaying kindness with hatred, aren't you afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell after death? We No matter what happens to Miss Jia, she is still The emperor's flesh and blood, the emperor is just angry for a moment, and she will definitely resume her position when the anger subsides, and you will be finished by then."
When Xiao Yanzi heard this, he sneered, and the voice sounded in the dark cell. It seems particularly harsh. "Are you scaring me? How could I be scared? I am a slave. Once I am a slave, I will be a slave forever. Ziwei has fallen into obscurity. The emperor loves face so much, how can he recognize her again? If you want to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, just dream! "Her tone was full of disdain and ridicule, as if she was watching a joke.
Although she doesn't understand the rules in the palace, she also knows that women who wear flags may give other Manchu families a chance to regain their status and clear their identity. But if royal blood is involved, it will be difficult. The royal family has a special status. The Han people call themselves "subjects" and the Manchus call themselves "slaves". Manchus outside the royal family, regardless of their status, were slaves in front of the emperor and the royal family. There is a world of difference between the status of master and slave. Aixinjueluo is the master and cannot be a slave. On the contrary, once they become slaves, it will be difficult to return to being their master's son, and the royal family will not accept their self-contempt. These truths, Yongqi once told her, gave her more confidence when facing Ziwei.
Ziwei was so angry that she couldn't speak. She opened her eyes wide and glared at Xiao Yanzi, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces. However, Xiao Yanzi was extremely proud. Seeing Ziwei speechless, she felt even more happy. When she first learned that Ziwei was the emperor's illegitimate daughter, she was envious and jealous. They are all lonely and helpless people. Why can Ziwei become a golden branch and enjoy all the glory and wealth after recognizing her ancestors, but she is living on the street as a performer, with no clothes to cover her body and no food to eat. What an injustice! What made her even more twisted was that in addition to having a noble bloodline, Ziwei was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was talented, gentle and beautiful, which all set off her vulgarity. Now that the truth has been revealed and he is behind bars, Xiao Yanzi's inner distortion and darkness can no longer be concealed and completely explodes.
At this time, Erkang angrily said: "Xiao Yanzi, how could you do this to Ziwei? She treats you as a sister, why are you so cruel." His voice echoed in the cell, with an uneasy feeling. Metaphorical anger and disappointment.
Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, and Jinsuo were locked in the same cell, while Yongqi, Erkang, and Ertai were locked in another cell. Hearing them insult each other, the three of them were very irritable. Seeing that Ziwei was in a weak position, Erkang was furious and blamed Xiao Yanzi.
Seeing Erkang accusing Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi couldn't help it: "Erkang, what did you say? Xiaoyanzi is the most innocent in this matter. Ziwei wanted to take her position, but she was scolded twice. What's wrong?" There was an undeniable dignity and anger in his voice.
"What do you mean by snatching Xiaoyanzi's position? This position of Huanzhugege originally belongs to Ziwei. Fifth brother, don't confuse right and wrong." There was a hint of helplessness and anger in Erkang's voice. He tried to Let Yongqi see the facts clearly.
However, Yongqi said angrily: "Erkang, you are a slave in prison, dare to talk to me like this, do you want to rebel? I am the master." His voice echoed in the cell, with An indescribable majesty and anger.
"What kind of master? You are already a prisoner now, why do you still show off your prestige? I advise you to save it." There was a trace of ridicule and disdain in Erkang's voice, and he tried to make Yongqi recognize the reality. .
Yongqi was about to scold Erkang angrily when he suddenly heard Ziwei's scream. He raised his head suddenly and saw Xiao Yanzi kicking Ziwei away and slamming her into the wall. Ziwei's body fell like a fallen leaf and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ziwei!" Erkang and Jinsuo exclaimed, their eyes full of worry and anger. Jin Suo rushed to Xiao Yanzi and hugged her: "Don't hurt my lady." There was a hint of trembling and pleading in her voice.
However, Xiao Yanzi struggled to get rid of the golden lock. She roared: "Let go, you bitch!" There was an indescribable anger and determination in her voice. However, the golden lock became tighter and tighter, refusing to let go. She hugged Xiao Yanzi tightly, as if to restrain her in place.
Ziwei was furious and her blood rushed to her head, and she lost all reason. She saw a green brick with a missing corner not far away, quickly picked it up and hit Xiao Yanzi hard on the head. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone stared at this scene with their eyes wide open. Xiao Yanzi's head was smashed open and blood flowed out. She screamed and fell to the ground.
“Little Swallow!” Yong Qi’s eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty monster that wanted to tear people apart. He slapped the cell door to get out, but couldn't open it, so he could only roar.
