Chapter 238 Guess
It wasn’t until the fork in the road, each going his own way, that the voices gradually faded away.
Xiao Man helped Qin Rou walk, and the concubine Wusuli could not be seen behind her. Xiao Man was used to it. Every day on the road in the morning and dusk, no one could see the figure of Concubine Wusuli, either in front of or behind her.
She even suspected that there was only one master living in Chengqian Palace: her concubine. Concubine Wusuli lived in another palace.
“In the past few days, there have been a few words in the palace, saying that the queen stayed in the palace where the second elder brother lived every day, and she shed tears when she looked at the house where the second elder brother lived...” In the palace, no one is as ignorant of world affairs as the concubine.
Although Xiaoman often served the concubine, she did not relax her search for news in the palace. Besides, she was not alone. They all served in Zhenshun Zhai, and the entire Zhenshun Zhai was a whole.
Even if she didn't know it in time, Aunt Chen, Fushun and Cangzi would be there to supplement her. She is the concubine's personal servant. She is the concubine's eyes and ears. If she doesn't know anything about the affairs in the palace, then the concubine can only be deaf or blind, and she is not far away from being plotted against.
So Xiaoman doesn’t know everything. Some gossip in the palace will always be leaked out. Once she knew it, she would naturally remind the concubine to avoid making mistakes.
"It is natural for parents to love their children! The second elder brother is also three years old this year. He has been pregnant for ten months, nearly four years, so many days and nights, and he has only cried since he was a baby. The Queen was still crying in the morning when she saw him grow up to be able to run and jump with his second elder brother. This little person will be left with only a cold little body in the next moment, and no parent can accept it." She could understand this pain all too well.
Even if you have not personally experienced it, there is some pain and suffering. Just imagining its coming is enough to make people heartbroken and hopeless.
Parents in this world may have children they don't love, but those who have a little bit of love will inevitably be sad. What's more, he is the second elder brother. The queen loves him very much, and Qinrou has no doubt about this.
As a queen, the second elder brother can also be a bargaining chip for her stable position. He is also a strong competitor for the future throne. He is an important pillar for forming cliques for personal gain and fighting for huge power.
For the departure of her second elder brother, the queen's complicated mood is probably beyond words. That was her child, whom she had painstakingly raised for countless days and nights, and placed countless expectations on the Queen.
The queen loved him unusually!
But suddenly, the second elder brother disappeared, the queen’s son disappeared, and the expectations placed on the second elder brother also disappeared. How should the queen accept the fact that the son she had so much hope for passed away?
The queen is also a mother!
"The slave also felt that the matter was too sudden. The second elder brother had been doing well, but on that day, everything suddenly turned bad. Even though the second elder brother has been buried in peace now, the slave still feels that it is as if the second elder brother has been buried in peace. My elder brother is still doing well." Xiaoman also felt that the second elder brother was dying too fast.
There is no trace at all, a good person will be gone if you say no! It's quite annoying.
The servants in their palace have never known much about the second elder brother.
The queen has always protected the second elder brother in a very tight manner, and few words about the second elder brother have left the Kunning Palace.
They are all used to it, and the second elder brother is doing well in Kunning Palace. Although I couldn't hear a single word from him, I could really feel that the second elder brother was in Kunning Palace.
"None of us can accept it, let alone the biological mother of the Queen." Qinrou understood that if such suffering befell her, she would only be more miserable.
"That's right!" Xiaoman nodded. Xiaoman will not feel any pain, the most he will feel is uneasiness. The disappearance of the queen's brother is a good thing for the entire harem and concubines. The second elder brother is gone, and another elder brother will appear!
Without the pressure of the second elder brother, the elder brothers can stand out. Although the concubine has no children, when will Bao Buqi have a child?
However, Xiaoman would also be worried. Xiaoman whispered to his concubine: "Second Brother is gone in a hurry, and everyone is uneasy. The nannies, wet nurses, and all the slaves are waiting around. They are all still being held in the Shenxing Department! The results will soon come out!”
Without waiting for the concubine’s response, Xiaoman asked and answered himself again, muttering. "It is said that whenever a slave enters the Shenxing Division, the result will be produced within three days. It has already been five full days!"
The slaves next to the second elder brother are still locked up in the Shenxing Division, and they are also By not telling what the problem is, and not saying there is no problem, isn't this deliberately asking people to guess?
The problem is that if you can’t guess clearly, you won’t be able to reassure people.
Logically, the results should have been released a long time ago, but it has been delayed until today. Maybe the second elder brother is really just suffering from a sudden illness. Or maybe Kangxi and the empress had suspicions, but no traces could be found, so the emperor and empress made a show to lure the snake out of its hole.
In short, no matter what happened, Kangxi and the Queen would not be in a good mood.
“Don’t talk too much!” Qin Rou only glanced at Xiao Man lightly, and the meaning behind her words was self-evident. "Whenever there is a result, we will just wait. Not to mention that it is about the legitimate elder brother, even if it is about the emperor's heir, we should be cautious."
Qinrou is not in a hurry. The emperor's heir died in infancy. Logically speaking, it should not be a trivial matter. Since the Emperor and Empress were concerned, they would naturally have to investigate more carefully.
Where is this? Just five days.
Xiaoman also understood that she had said the wrong thing. Even if the second elder brother died, she was not someone she could discuss. If not for anything else, it was because the second elder brother had a direct relative, Eni, the empress, who was in charge of the Sixth Palace.
It is better to be in charge than to be an official now. The Queen Mother dealt with a slave in the harem, but with just a glance, someone rushed to deal with him.
"I just hope that the matter of the second elder brother will come to light as soon as possible, and the emperor and queen can sleep in peace as soon as possible." Xiao Man quickly added.
"The second elder brother has a distinguished status. Not only the harem is concerned about this matter, but also the empress dowager and empress dowager who live in Cining Palace and Ciren Palace are always concerned about this matter; as well as the former dynasty All the ministers are watching with their eyes, and the servants of Shenxing Division are always investigating carefully." Qinrou said softly.
In the previous dynasty, the Queen's mother's family, the Hesheli family, was not a powerless family. The death of the second elder brother was too sudden. Even though the second elder brother lived deep in the palace, he was right under the eyes of the empress.
But Suo'etu and the sons and daughters of the clan could not help but murmur in their hearts. Heavy pressure.
The affairs of the harem involve the former dynasty. From this point of view, one move affects the whole body. The matter of the second elder brother's death at a young age is both small and big. From all aspects, it seems that the matter of the second elder brother's death at a young age must have been decided long ago.
Otherwise the court will be unstable! That's it for the past few days.
