Chapter 106
“You dog slave, get out of here!” Xiao Yanzi slapped Jin Suo on the face and kicked her hard. Jinsuo fell to the ground. The pain made her almost unable to breathe, but she still struggled to get up.
"Golden Lock..." Ziwei was furious. She picked up the brick that she had hit at Little Swallow and hit it with all her strength. Xiao Yanzi dodged sideways and avoided the bricks. At the same time, he kicked Ziwei in the chest, then pressed her head and pierced her again with the golden hairpin. " Ziwei!" Erkang was heartbroken when he saw this scene. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he still cherished the dream of Princess Shang. Ziwei was of true royal blood, and even if the emperor was angry again, he would never really abandon her. Seeing that Ziwei was about to die, Erkang was at a loss and hurriedly took out the flying knife hidden in his boot to protect against accidents. With a wave of his hand, the flying knife shot out quickly and pierced into Xiao Yanzi's chest.
"Ah!" Xiao Yanzi screamed, her body collapsed on Ziwei's body, and the blood stained the ground red. Jinsuo and Ziwei took the opportunity to fight back. They used all their strength to get out of this desperate predicament.
"Little Yanzi..." Yongqi's eyes were red, and he glared at Erkang, his voice full of anger and despair, "If you dare to hurt Little Yanzi, I will kill you!" After that, he A punch was thrown at Erkang, and the two immediately fell into a fierce fight.
Not to be outdone, Erkang also punched back. He sneered: "Yongqi, do you still think of yourself as the distinguished fifth elder brother? It's not that easy to kill me." Erkang used a series of punches, each punch carrying a fierce wind sound. Ertai, on the other hand, swept out a series of kicks and attacked Yongqi from both sides. The three of them fought inextricably.
Yong Qi was very skilled. He avoided the attack of the two men and fought with Erkang and Ertai, one against two. In the cell, the male and female protagonists killed each other, and the screams, fights, and curses were continuous, as if they were tearing this small space apart.
By the time Qianlong heard the jailer's report and rushed over, the protagonist group had suffered heavy casualties. Ertai died of serious injuries. His body lay quietly on the ground, as if he had lost all vitality. Xiao Yanzi was first hit by a brick, and then a flying knife injured her nerves, resulting in paralysis of her lower body. She lay in a pool of blood, her eyes full of despair and unwillingness.
Ziwei was pricked with a gold hairpin by Little Swallow and her face was covered in blood. Scars like thin centipedes were left on her face. The scars seemed to be eternal pain in her heart. Although there was good medicine for treatment, Ziwei knew that she could never return to her dignified and gentle self.
Yong Qi’s right hand is disabled. He can no longer hold a pen or wield a sword, and is completely disabled. His eyes were full of despair and pain, as if he had lost all hope. Erkang was also scarred. Although he was not disabled, his life span was greatly shortened. His face was full of exhaustion and helplessness.
In this farce of fratricide, the protagonists each had their own misfortunes, and almost all of them were wiped out. Only the loyal Jin Suo survived intact. Tears flashed in her eyes, but she didn't know who to cry for.
Qianlong was angry and angry when he saw this scene, and his heart was filled with shock and grief. Oh my god, what the hell is going on? He originally planned to severely punish Xiao Yanzi and others, but after seeing the miserable condition of his children, he finally gave him a lighter punishment.
Qianlong followed Li Qingge's suggestion and decided to follow the original story line of "Huan Zhu Princess" and reverse the identities of Ziwei and Xiao Yanzi. He issued an order to hand over Princess Ziwei to Erkang in marriage, and to carry Erkang into Manchuria with a blue flag. This honor of carrying the flag was only given to Erkang, the son-in-law. The rest of the Fuji family still had a privileged status.
Immediately afterwards, Qianlong issued a second decree, naming the fifth elder brother Yongqi as Beizi and the title "Rong". He moved out of the palace and opened a new mansion with immediate effect, and gave the maid Xia Xiaoyanzi to Rong Beizi as his attendant. concubine. In this way, the two male and female protagonists in "Huan Zhuge Ge" finally got together. However, what was originally a match made in heaven turned into two pairs of enemies.
Paralysis of the lower body is already a heavy blow to ordinary people, let alone little Yanzi who gets into trouble all day long. When Xiao Yanzi realized that she could no longer move, she almost went crazy. In Beizi's house, she yelled, smashed everything she could, and cursed Ziwei, Erkang and others loudly. Even Yongqi was scolded bloody by her.
What Yong Qi loves is the unrestrained, bright and lively little Yanzi, not this twisted and extremely violent crazy woman. At first, Yongqi was tolerant, but as time went by, he couldn't bear it, so he sent someone to imprison Xiao Yanzi in the woodshed, and only gave her two meals a day, leaving her to fend for herself.
Little Yanzi cried out every day and completely collapsed. She was lying in the corner of the woodshed, her eyes full of despair and regret. She thought of her happy days, the days she spent with Ziwei, Erkang, and Ertai, as if they were like a dream. Now, after waking up from the dream, she found herself plunged into endless darkness.
In the play "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", Xiao Yanzi has an older brother Xiao Jian who is highly skilled in martial arts. He had a blood feud with Qianlong, joined the anti-Qing and Fuming organizations, and has been looking for opportunities to assassinate Qianlong for many years. However, Li Qingge's time travel triggered a butterfly effect, causing many story lines to change.
The original anti-Qing and Fuming organizations gradually disappeared in the Yan Dynasty, a society where everyone had enough food and clothing and everyone was equal. Except for a handful of people who were extremely hostile to the Qing court, the rest became legal citizens of the Dayan Dynasty. Xiao Jian was worried about this matter. He tried hard to stabilize the decline of the organization, but the result was that the harder he tried, the worse it became, and more and more people quit.
In the end, there were only a few people left in the organization, and it was no longer a success. Because his energy was restrained by this incident, Xiao Jian had no time to search for his sister's whereabouts, let alone what happened to Xiao Yanzi. Without Xiao Jian's help and losing Yong Qi's love, Xiao Yanzi really couldn't respond this time.
At this moment, Xiao Yanzi wants to cry but has no tears, and regrets it too late. She remembered why she wanted to steal Ziwei's identity in the first place, and why she wanted to get involved in the right and wrong power circle in the harem. If he had told the truth and allowed Ziwei to become a real princess, remembering the love of sworn friendship and the grace of risking the letter, the emperor would definitely reward him. Even if there are no other rewards, wouldn't it be nice to live in a large courtyard, perform with Liu Qing and Liu Hong, and travel freely in the world?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. If you commit evil, you will eventually reap the consequences. Xiao Yanzi was gloomy, and her heart was filled with endless regret and despair. Ziwei was equally unhappy. When she woke up and saw the scars on her face, she wished she could die immediately.
"My face! No, this is not my face. How could it be like this? How could it be like this?" Ziwei lost her former dignity and gentleness, and her voice screamed, as if to Let out all the pain and despair. Beauty is the second life for a woman. Her mother relied on her beauty to have a romantic relationship with Qianlong and gave birth to her. Now that she has lost this beauty, she seems to have lost all hope and future.
Which man in the world doesn’t value beauty? These words echoed in Ziwei's heart, like the last fallen leaf in autumn, slowly falling with endless desolation and helplessness. She stood in front of the window, looking at the withered garden outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart. Now, she is married and is in an unprecedented predicament.
Ziwei, the former Princess, now the Wufujin, her life is not as glamorous as outsiders imagine. Her husband, Erkang, who was once a brave man in her eyes, has now become the deepest pain in her heart. Not only did he dislike her ordinary appearance, he even refused to have sex with her, and even insulted her with words, saying that she was just a humble slave. Whenever it is late at night, Ziwei will lie on the bed, tears falling silently, soaking the brocade quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes.
The Fulen couple, the parents-in-law who once had high hopes for Ziwei, are now extremely indifferent to her. They originally thought that Erkang could marry the princess and that the family would get the honor of carrying the flag. However, they did not expect that Qianlong's decree came down and only Erkang was promoted to the Xianglan Banner. He was the last one among the Eight Banners. . Coupled with Ertai's death, the Fuluns hated Ziwei even more, as if she was the source of all misfortunes.
Ziwei’s appearance was completely ruined by a sudden illness shortly after she married into the Fu family. She looked at the scarred face in the mirror, filled with despair. She tried to cover it up with makeup, but those scars, like the pain in her heart, could not be erased no matter what.
What makes Ziwei even more devastated is that Erkang is impotent. For a woman who longs to be favored by her husband, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. She had been married to Erkang for more than a month, but she had never received any tenderness from him. She had cried secretly countless times in the dead of night, but no one knew her pain.
Ziwei was disheartened, but thought of having a child to comfort her loneliness, otherwise the rest of her life would be hopeless. Since Er Kang was unwilling, she would forcefully ask for it. So, she decided to take extreme measures and gave Er Kang a strong aphrodisiac.
While scolding Erkang for his incompetence, she sought comfort in the arms of those men. Erkang was cuckolded several times and was so angry that he wanted to kill Ziwei. But Ziwei is not afraid. She knows the dignity of her bloodline and the plight of the Fu family. She looked at Er Kang with a sneer, her eyes full of resentment and ridicule.
Before her death, Ziwei’s mother warned her not to become the second Xia Yuhe. Xia Yuhe guarded Aixinjueluo Hongli all his life, but ended up with a miserable end. Ziwei didn't want to make the same mistake again, and she didn't want to hang herself on the crooked tree of Erkang. She decided to pursue her own happiness, even if that happiness was short-lived and illusory.
She opened the door of desire and degenerated day by day. She is no longer the innocent princess, but a woman who will do whatever it takes to satisfy her desires. She looked at Er Kang's angry and resentful eyes, but her heart was filled with pleasure. She smiled evilly and said to Erkang: "I have already gone to hell, so just go down with me. Don't feel wronged. It was you who betrayed me first!"
As the protagonist group returned to their positions, , the farce between the real and the fake has finally come to an end. Li Qingge stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes. When she saw Ziwei's depravity, she didn't have much trouble in her heart. She knows that everyone has their own choice, and Ziwei chose such a path, which was her own decision.
Li Qingge is a smart woman, and she knows the role she plays in this farce. Unwilling to stay for a long time, she took a plane to leave the Forbidden City and returned to Dayan to continue her development. Before leaving, she specifically reminded Qianlong to crack down on corruption and not to expect her to clean up the mess.
When Qianlong returned to the capital, he was confused by the true and false affairs, and had long forgotten about it. Now when I heard Li Qingge mention it, I remembered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs paid ten taels of silver for an egg, and my blood pressure rose sharply. He hates corruption as much as anyone else. He decided to send the Sticky Branch to thoroughly investigate the industries related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and royal procurement.
The sticky pole is the secret service left by Yongzheng. They act secretly and have ruthless methods. They soon discovered the staggering depth of corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those members of the Baoyi family have been servants of the royal family for generations, but they have been corrupt from generation to generation, colluding with each other, and protecting each other. Not only did they covet people's wealth, they also coveted royal money, and even dared to covet Qianlong's internal funds.
Qianlong was furious and decided to severely punish these corrupt officials. He ordered that all those involved in the case be arrested and tortured, forcing them to hand over their embezzled property. For a time, the capital city was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. Corrupt officials who were once arrogant and domineering are now running around like lost dogs.
However, this anti-corruption storm did not last long. After Qianlong severely punished a group of corrupt officials, he gradually relaxed his vigilance. He began to indulge in pleasure and cared less and less about government affairs. When the surviving corrupt officials saw this, they began to take action and try to restore their former glory.
The story of Ziwei and Erkang also spread in the capital. People talked about their grievances and grudges, and lamented the impermanence of the world. Ziwei's depravity and Erkang's helplessness became people's talk after dinner. However, for those involved, those past grievances have long gone with the wind, leaving only an unbearable memory.
After Li Qingge returned to Dayan, he continued to develop his career. With her intelligence and perseverance, she gradually distinguished herself in the business world. Not only did she make her business successful, she also actively participated in charity work to help those in poverty. As a result, her reputation spread further and further, and she became a legendary woman in people's mouths.
However, she has not forgotten the story of Ziwei and Erkang. She often thinks of the woman who sank in the Forbidden City, and her heart is filled with emotion. She knows that everyone has their own destiny and choice, and Ziwei's choice of such a path may be her destined fate.
Time flies, and decades pass in the blink of an eye. Li Qingge has become a legend in the business world of Dayan, and the story of Ziwei and Erkang has long been forgotten by people. However, in the ancient Forbidden City, their legends are still circulated. Those stories about love, hatred, grievances, and entanglements are like paintings that will remain in the long river of history forever.
Everyone in the world accused Qianlong of being lecherous, but they didn’t know the number of concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, Emperor Kangxi was the most numerous. Kangxi's harem was like a complicated picture scroll. There were more than fifty named concubines, and the number of unknown palace maids was like stars, numbering in the hundreds. In this huge harem group, women from a wealthy family account for a large proportion. They are either gentle, intelligent, or witty, and they each interpret their own stories in the world of the harem.
Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine De, and Concubine Rong, these four famous concubines in Qing Dynasty time-travel novels, may have been born in Baoyi, but the dust of history is too thick to reveal their origins accurately. puzzle. However, there is no doubt that the Kangxi Dynasty had many concubines. Either because of their beauty, intelligence, or chance, they were able to stand out in the harem and became an indispensable presence around Emperor Kangxi.
After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, and the concubine Wu Ya, who was born in Baoyi, ascended the throne of the Queen Mother because her son became the emperor, and her mother was more noble than her son. This incident caused the forces of the aristocratic families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to grow crazily like weeds in spring, becoming arrogant and domineering. They control the power of the harem openly or covertly, causing the entire harem to be shrouded in a haze.
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he doted on women who were born in a wealthy family. The first person to be favored was Gao, his maid when he was the prince. Gao had a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament. Qianlong fell in love with her at first sight. After he came to the throne, he made her a noble concubine and gave her the honor of carrying the flag. This move undoubtedly announced to the world that Gao's status in his heart was extraordinary. On the other hand, the Queen Nala who came from a wealthy family was just a concubine at the beginning, and was suppressed by the Gao family who came from a wealthy family. Nala was indignant in her heart. She came from a famous family and received strict court education since she was a child. She was first-class in both talent and appearance. Now, how could she be willing to be pressured by a maid with a good background?
Qianlong looked at those shocking figures and felt angry. Although he has not officially raided his home, just looking at these corrupt properties, he knew that the amount was huge, far exceeding the revenue of the national treasury. He was so angry that he ran to Kunning Palace overnight and told the queen and the twelfth prince Yongxu to be careful. He also ordered the two guards Balang and Batu to protect their safety at all times.
After years of penetration, the power of the Baoyi family has become ubiquitous. Qianlong knew how powerful they were and was afraid that they would jump over the wall and perish together with everyone. Therefore, he specially asked the queen to strictly guard the door, seal the Kunning Palace, and then mobilized a group of capable guards to prepare for a general purge.
That night, heavy rain poured down, as if God was also crying for the coming storm. The Ouchi guards acted quickly, because the news had not been leaked, and no one had noticed the corruption problem in these years, so the Baoyi family had almost no precautions. When the guards rushed into their mansion like wolves and tigers, they suddenly realized, but it was too late.
While the harem was being cleaned, Qianlong also sent another group of guards to inspect the Baoyi family's mansion outside the palace. Regardless of whether they were resisting or making noise, they were all arrested. Those who resisted were executed on the spot without mercy. This inspection operation was presided over by several ministers of Qianlong, one of whom was Fulong'an, who had previously exposed the truth and falsehoods.
Fu Longan is the leader of the Fucha family. He has a tall body, a resolute face, and a pair of bright eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts. After receiving the order, he immediately took thunderous measures. He was sitting in the main hall of the Baoyi Family, watching boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques being carried out from the warehouse, and was deeply shocked. He had thought about the possible corruption problem in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he never expected that it would be so serious.
The level of corruption in these wealthy families is simply outrageous. Not only did they embezzle a large amount of money, but they also hid countless antiques and treasures. These properties should originally belong to the country and the emperor, but now they are taking them for themselves. Fulongan looked at these belongings, his heart filled with anger and pain.
When the country is prosperous, there will always be auspicious things; when the country is destroyed, there will always be evil spirits at work. These evildoers are either evil concubines or corrupt officials. An institution like the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually produced so many corrupt officials, let alone the entire Qing Dynasty? Fulongan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he thought of this. He knew very well that these moths had emptied the Qing Dynasty's treasury, causing the country to decline day by day. The rise of Great Flame has made the existence of these moths even more dazzling.
The gold and silver belongings are piled up in the whole yard, and they haven’t finished searching yet. Fulongan had no choice but to ask the guards to stop first, transport the belongings to the palace, and then slowly clean them up. This thunderous anti-gang operation lasted for seven days. During these seven days, the palace and harem were shaken. Those corrupt ministers were trembling with fear, fearing that Qianlong would raid their homes next. After all, confiscating homes is easy to get addicted to, and the late Emperor Yongzheng was particularly fond of doing it. None of them are innocent. If they are targeted by Qianlong, they will be doomed.
The results of seven days of house searching are very remarkable. Both the national treasury and Qianlong's private treasury were filled. Qianlong looked at the list presented by the Minister of Finance and Statistics, and his blood pressure soared. The amount of money these dog slaves took out of their homes actually exceeded 100 million taels of silver! This is several times the annual revenue of the national treasury! Qianlong was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. He roared angrily: "Li Yu! Pass on the decree! The guy with the most serious corruption will be executed in Lingchi! All the adult men in his family will be beheaded in public!" All the adults and female relatives were sent to Ninggu Tower to be slaves to the armored men! They will never be pardoned!"
"Yes!" Li Yu responded and was secretly glad that he was not involved in this incident.
The forces that control the aristocratic families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are intertwined and involve a wide range of things. In this thunderstorm, all adult men were beheaded, Caishikou was bleeding like a river, and the executioner's knife was curled. According to incomplete statistics, thousands of people died, and tens of thousands were exiled as slaves. For a time, everyone in the palace and harem was panicked. Except for the queen who sat firmly on the Diaoyutai because she had a daughter to rely on, everyone else was like a frightened bird, fearing that they would become the next one to be liquidated.
In this storm, your concubine's Wei family was also implicated. Although there was no great corruption in the Wei family, the Wei brothers Yingmin and Debao secretly withheld the tribute. You must know that tributes are things that officials give to the emperor for his enjoyment. The emperor has all the good things in the world, so officials will contribute the best things to the emperor and cannot hide them secretly. Tributes must first be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for sorting and filing, and then presented to the emperor for selection and enjoyment or as rewards to clan ministers. Detaining or using it privately without the emperor's consent is an act of trespass and can be punished by death.
When Qianlong heard this, he was so angry that he threw the cup. He said angrily: "These dog slaves are so audacious! They dare to withhold tribute without permission! I must punish them severely!" So Yingmin and Debao of the Wei brothers were sentenced to death, and their family was implicated. This storm not only cleared away the corrupt forces in the harem, but also shocked the officials of the previous dynasty. This made them act more cautiously, not daring to offend the majesty of the royal family easily.
Considering your concubine’s dedicated service in the harem for many years and her fragile state of being pregnant at the moment, the emperor couldn’t help but feel ripples in his heart. He knew very well that this woman who had accompanied him through countless days and nights could not be severely punished just for a momentary mistake. Therefore, the emperor was particularly merciful and only gave her a sixty-year-old cane and exiled her for three thousand miles as a warning. This kind of forgiveness, in the eyes of others, is truly a majestic and unparalleled imperial favor.
After hearing the news, the queen felt mixed emotions in her heart. Sourness and anger were intertwined, sweeping over like a violent storm. She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to swallow up all the dissatisfaction and jealousy. "The emperor just favors that witch," she cursed in a low voice. "She secretly withheld the tribute and committed a heinous crime. In the end, she was only exiled for three thousand miles. I am really angry to death."
Aunt Rong saw this from the side. , quickly She stepped forward to comfort her: "My queen, don't be angry. The emperor also has to consider the child in your belly. It's not easy to deal with it like this." There was a hint of helplessness and persuasion in her words, trying to calm the queen's anger. anger.
When the queen heard this, she frowned and said angrily: "How could I not know this, but I just can't swallow this breath. How can her concubine be so virtuous and capable that she can make the emperor be so partial?" There was a hint in her voice. There was a bit of unwillingness and indignation, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger in his heart.
Seeing this, Aunt Rong approached the Queen with a sinister smile and whispered: "My Lady, don't worry. The Wei brothers have been exiled for three thousand miles, which may have a greater impact on your concubine than you imagine. Bigger. In the harem, mothers are honored by their sons. The honor and disgrace of the prince are closely related to his biological mother and his natal family. The child was a prince, and he was born safely, but with two criminal uncles, his future was in doubt. The ministers of the previous dynasty were all very smart, who would support a son of a sinner unless the emperor had no other sons? "
When the queen heard this, her curiosity was aroused, and she asked doubtfully: "Oh? So what? The imperial edict on the throne has been written, and when everything is settled, the throne will be passed on to my family, Xiao Wu. No matter how much crime your concubine’s brother commits, the overall situation cannot be changed.”
Rong. Mammy smiled, with a sly light flashing in her eyes: "My queen, you are confused. The life experience of the fifth princess has not been made public yet, and everyone in the former harem has I didn't know that the emperor wanted to give the throne to the fifth princess. Now the concubine still fantasizes that this baby will give birth to a prince, and the mother will become the second empress dowager Xiaogong in the future. The emperor has blocked the news from the concubine. Now that the concubine has learned that her brother has become a sinner, what do you think she will think?"
When the queen heard this, she was overjoyed. She seemed to see the despair and pain on her face after hearing the news, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart. Because of the real and fake situation, it was not easy for the concubine to conceive this child. If she knew that her brother was in trouble and that the fetus in her belly had no hope of succeeding because of her uncle's crime, even if she did not have an abortion, the fetus would not be safe.
The thirteenth prince's premature death made the queen gnash her teeth in hatred towards her concubine. She is not someone to be trifled with. If anyone harms her children, she will definitely make them feel the pain of losing their children. The death of the fourteenth prince could not dispel the hatred in the queen's heart. Only if the concubine's pregnancy could not be preserved could she be relieved of her hatred.
"Let's find a chance to tell her. After all, we are brothers, so we have to let her care." The queen showed a cold and vicious smile, as if she had seen the painful appearance of the concubine.
Nanny Rong also smiled sinisterly: "I obey, my slave." She was secretly proud, knowing that this time she could vent her anger on the queen again.
The queen asked about the homework of the twelfth elder brother Yong Cang again: "How is Yong Cang's recent homework?" Although she knew that the twelfth elder brother had no hope of succeeding, it was the nature of parents to hope that their children would succeed, and the queen also hoped that he would succeed. Can become useful.
Nanny Rong replied: "My twelfth brother is very talented and learns everything quickly. He is just a child who loves to play and always studies intermittently. The emperor used to ask about it, but now he doesn't care." She There was a bit of regret and helplessness in his words, as if he was also worried about the future of the twelfth brother.
The queen became anxious when she heard this: "How can that be done? If you don't study hard at a young age, what will you do in the future? How can the emperor indulge him so much?" There was a bit of anxiety and dissatisfaction in her words, obviously she was dissatisfied with the emperor's actions. Feel dissatisfied.
"Don't be anxious, my queen," Mother Rong comforted her softly, "The emperor knew that the twelfth prince had no hope of succeeding, so he let him go. The future of the Qing Dynasty and the hope of the queen lie in the fifth princess. "Even if the twelfth elder brother fails in his studies, the fifth princess will not treat his younger brother badly. It will be good for him to enjoy the honor of a prince in the future." Her words contained some comfort and persuasion, trying to calm the queen. of anxiety.
The queen sighed: "Brothers with the same father and mother can never maintain harmony for the rest of their lives. The two sons of Empress Dowager Xiaogong are a lesson learned from the past. The late emperor and the Fourteenth Master were born from the same mother, but they turned against each other. On the contrary, The Thirteenth Master, who has the same father and mother, has a deep brotherly love. The words "I want to make you fat" are really true. It’s very touching. Even the ruthless emperor’s family has such a sincere brotherhood. With the example of Thirteenth Master, I also hope that the brother-in-law harmony between Xiaowu and Twelfth Brother will become a good story.” There was a bit of emotion and expectation in his words, as if he was praying for the future of the fifth princess and the twelfth prince.
The imperial concubine Wu Yashi was extremely eccentric, and she was simply a negative example for the Qing palace. Whenever brotherhood or mother-child love was mentioned, the queen would take her as a warning and flog her repeatedly. If Wu Yashi had a spirit, I'm afraid the coffin boards wouldn't be able to hold it down. She knew very well how luxurious and rare these emotions were in the imperial family.
Mother Rong understood the Queen's worries and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, Madam, the Empress Dowager Xiaogong is partial to her younger son, which led to fratricide. As long as the Queen's bowl of water is fair, all five people will be treated equally." The princess and the twelfth brother, they will definitely get along harmoniously." Her words were filled with determination and comfort, as if she was painting a beautiful picture for the queen's future.
The queen nodded in agreement: "Yes, if a bowl of water is balanced, the relationship will always get better." There was a bit of determination and expectation in her words, as if she had seen a future where the fifth princess and the twelfth prince would live in harmony.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day comes when Grandma Rong takes action. She found an opportunity and quietly told Ling Fei about the Wei brothers' criminal exile. As soon as your concubine heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her fetus was shaking violently. There was a sudden chaos in the Yanxi Palace. The maids and eunuchs were running around trying to stabilize the concubine's pregnancy.
The imperial doctors came after hearing the news. They walked into the Yanxi Palace with solemn faces and quickly administered acupuncture and medicine to the imperial concubine. After some intensive treatment, her fetal pressure was finally stabilized. However, your concubine's heart was like a turmoil, unable to calm down.
She hurried to the Yangxin Hall and took off the hairpin on her head to apologize. Her face was haggard and her eyes were filled with tears, as if she might collapse at any moment. Qianlong was so angry, how could he forgive her? He gave your concubine a cold look and ordered Li Yu to drive her out.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful and spare my concubine's brother, right?" Your concubine knelt in front of the Yangxin Hall and begged bitterly. There was a bit of desolation and despair in her voice, as if she wanted to pour out all the pain in her heart. However, Qianlong was as stone-hearted and unmoved.
She is not doing it for her brothers. In fact, she is doing it for the future of her unborn child and her own ambition that the mother is more valuable than the son. If the Wei brothers were really convicted and exiled, not only would the mother family be humiliated, but the future of the fetus would be completely hopeless. She had planned her whole life just to be supreme in the harem and honor the world as the Mother Queen Mother. I originally thought that after using Xiao Yanzi to destroy Yong Qi, I could safely give birth to the prince and get rid of the queen and her son, and the future would be bright. Unexpectedly, Qianlong suddenly investigated corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her dream was shattered instantly.
Your concubine kowtows unwillingly: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and the fetus in your belly. He really cannot be the uncle of a sinner!" Her forehead was already red and swollen from the knock, but the feeling in her heart was The pain and despair have not diminished at all. However, Qianlong remained unmoved. His eyes were cold and firm, as if he had made the final decision.
Seeing that his concubine was crying endlessly, he became angry and not only ordered people to drag her back, but also demoted her to his concubine. This move was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the concubine. She seemed to have all her strength taken away and collapsed on the ground.
When the queen heard the news, she felt as happy as drinking ice-cold Coke. She was secretly proud in her heart, knowing that this time she finally made your concubine taste the pain. However, she was not satisfied with this, but instead became more determined to get rid of her concubine.
...
While the Forbidden City in the north was busy fighting corruption, the Great Yan Dynasty in the south also ushered in a wave of financial reforms. The Great Yan Dynasty had just been established, and its rapid development was as difficult to control as a drag racing car. However, in this wave, many new challenges and opportunities have also emerged. For the Dayan Dynasty, this was both an era full of hope and an era full of challenges. All of this is in sharp contrast to the power struggle in the Forbidden City.
