Dang Yin? After rushing back to the palace from the western suburbs camp. The news he received was that
Imperial Consort Nian had safely given birth to a healthy little prince.
Su Peisheng looked at Yongzheng's expression. He really couldn't tell what expression he had.
Was he happy or …
In the end, he didn't make any wild guesses. As servants, they were the best at observing people's expressions, but they also knew when to advance and retreat. There were some things.
Even if you wanted to, you had to secretly think about it.
Don't let your imagination run wild under the nobles' noses.
"Follow me to the Yi Kun Palace. Imperial Consort Nian has worked hard to give birth to little brother. She needs a lot of rewards."
Dang Yin? When they came to the Yi Kun Palace, the Empress, Madam Li, and Madam Nianhulu were also present. They were all in the Yi Kun Palace. When they saw Yongzheng coming over,
They hurriedly bowed.
The Empress had been ill these few days. Her face was a little pale, and she was about to fall when she got up.
Yin? After seeing her, he hurriedly supported her and said worriedly, "The Empress has just recovered.
You shouldn't be so tired. "
Dang Yin? His concern made Ulanara's pale face blush. She shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm fine.
It's mainly Imperial Consort Nian.
She just gave birth to little brother. Her body is weak. "
"Servants,
Quickly bring little brother here for the Emperor to see. "As she spoke, Ulanara also became happy." I just saw him.
Little brother is really a healthy and beautiful child. "
Yin? Hearing this, he nodded lightly.
His expression was thought-provoking. Ulanara's smile didn't change. She didn't seem to notice this.
Xiang Lan had been taking care of Siyang in the room. When she heard the news that the Emperor had arrived outside, she hurriedly said to her master, who was already panting, "Master, the Emperor is here."
Siyang didn't care whether he came or not.
However, since he was here, she couldn't be indifferent.
"Go and take the child out. Tell him that I'm still unconscious and you know what to do."
Xiang Lan was stunned for a moment. Her eyes focused and she nodded lightly. "I understand what you mean."
Siyang liked Xiang Lan's cleverness. After a slight smile, she closed her eyes. She needed to quickly recover her strength. Otherwise, how could she fight the next battle?
Each and every one of them revealed their true forms on the day she gave birth. That was good too. He would get rid of them one by one so that she wouldn't have another chance in the future.
After hearing the Empress's voice, Xiang Lan immediately lifted the curtain and walked out. She bowed and carried the little Ah Ge in her arms forward.
Yin? She did not reach out to hug the child. The Aisin Gioro family believed in hugging grandchildren and not children. This wasn't strange at all. Xiang Lan was the one who killed him. Yin? She lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes and saw the baby's little face.
He was not as red and wrinkled as other children. Instead, his skin looked white and tender. The little guy closed his eyes and smacked his lips. He looked like he was sleeping soundly and was exceptionally cute.
This was his son.
Yin? After thinking about this.
Finally, a ripple appeared in that pair of calm eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
After seeing this, Su Peisheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since the former Marquis of the Mansion had become an Emperor, many things had changed in the blink of an eye.
Being with the Emperor was like being with a tiger. The Emperor's character was getting more and more unpredictable. Even he, a personal attendant, had to be careful.
After seeing this scene, Madam Li and Madam Niuhulu were smiling, but their hands were clenching the handkerchief so tightly that it was almost wrinkled.
No matter how hard they tried, Imperial Concubine Nian still managed to escape this time. She even successfully gave birth to a healthy little brother.
Now, in the entire palace, only Imperial Concubine Nian had two children by her side. They were both little brothers. In addition, her elder brother was powerful. Now, he was so favored. It was hard to know what would happen in the future.
Xiang Lan was waiting for Yin? After looking at the child, she lowered her head and her eyes flashed. Then, she turned around and handed the little brother to the little palace maid behind her. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yongzheng repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I beg you, please do justice for Imperial Concubine Nian. Someone did something evil during the delivery. Imperial Concubine Nian almost, almost lost her life …"
Xiang Lan kept kowtowing as she begged.
Yin? He frowned, looked at Xiang Lan, and said in a low voice, "What else happened? Tell me the truth. "
Ulana had expected all this. Madam Nian had suffered so much during the delivery. How could she let it go just like that? But this time, it shouldn't have anything to do with her. Anyway, she just had to watch from the sidelines. The child wasn't her child, and she wasn't the one who started this. She would clean herself up and let them fight.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me." The Empress's face was pale. She knelt in front of him.
Yin? He took a step back and looked at them. His eyes flickered.
Ulana immediately told him what happened during Siyang's delivery.
"It's my body that failed me. When Imperial Concubine Nian was giving birth, I couldn't get out of bed. Although I sent someone to visit her, I still neglected my duty. I let a lowly servant almost hurt Imperial Concubine Nian and little brother. "
"It's really unexpected that the midwife would poison the decoction that Imperial Consort Nian was carrying. I am the Empress. I am in charge of the six palaces. I have neglected my duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty. "Ulana said sincerely. Coupled with her sickly appearance, it made people feel sorry for her.
The Empress had begun to apologize. How could Madam Li and Madam Niohulu escape? Madam Niohulu even wiped her tears.
"Your Majesty, I have also done something wrong. Fourth Elder Brother fell from the back of the horse. It was really too serious. At that time, chenqie panicked and directly called for the imperial physicians from the Imperial Academy of Medicine, afraid that something would happen to fourth elder brother. But who knew that at this time, imperial concubine niangniang would act. It actually delayed her search for the imperial physicians. But later, I quickly arranged for the imperial physicians to go over. Finally, we made it in time. But Imperial Concubine Nian still suffered a little. "
Yin? When he heard this, his expression changed. He immediately pointed at Madam Niohulu and said, "Fourth Elder Brother fell from the back of the horse. How is he?"
Madam Niohulu, who was lowering her head and wiping her tears, had a flash of joy in her eyes. She knew that the Emperor must be very concerned about Fourth Elder Brother. When she heard this, she frowned and bit her lips. There was obvious worry on her face. She said with tears down her face.
"Fourth Elder Brother fell and hurt his leg. The imperial physicians said that he also suffered some internal injuries. He even spat out a mouthful of blood. I was so scared. "
Yin? After hearing this, he couldn't sit still. She couldn't sit still any longer and said directly, "Take me to see Fourth Elder Brother first."
Xiang Lan had been kneeling on the ground. She didn't dare to interrupt when the Empress and others were talking. But when she saw that the Emperor was going to put down the things here and go to see Fourth Elder Brother who fell from the back of the horse, she was stunned. Her heart sank. Seeing that the Emperor was about to leave the Yi Kun Palace, she immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty. Imperial Concubine Nian is still lying in bed in a coma. She was almost killed by a villain. Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for Imperial Concubine Nian. "
Yin? The Emperor paused. He looked back at Xiang Lan, who was looking at the closed door of the inner room. He said in a deep voice, "I will naturally uphold justice for Imperial Concubine Nian. Now, you take good care of Imperial Concubine Nian and Little Elder Brother first. And keep those slaves in custody for the time being. I will uphold justice for Imperial Concubine Nian. "
Speaking of Yin? After a pause, he bent down to help the Empress up. "You can't blame the Empress for this. You take care of the Yi Kun Palace first. We will talk about it after I find out everything. "
The Empress was moved. Her voice trembled. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Yin? He still left the Yi Kun Palace. Madam Niohulu followed closely behind.
Madam Li originally wanted to see Madam Niohulu make a fool of herself. She wanted to see how she would quibble in front of the Emperor, but who knew that she would mention Fourth Elder Brother.
What serious injury? Her Hong Shi was also at the martial arts practice field. He was just startled by the horse and injured his leg. It was not as serious as she said. However, Madam Li couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she saw that the Emperor valued Fourth Elder Brother so much. Thinking of her son, she felt hatred in her heart.
Yi Kun Palace had just gained a new Little Elder Brother. This should be a happy time. However, when the Emperor left the Yi Kun Palace just like that, everyone felt a little confused and couldn't believe it.
Ulanara glanced at the people in the Yi Kun Palace, then pointed at Xiang Lan and said, "Take good care of your master and Little Elder Brother. I am not feeling well, so I won't stay here for the time being. "
Imperial Concubine Nian is not feeling well. Why don't I send Imperial Concubine Nian off? " Madam Li quickly said. It was best that she didn't have anything to do here.
Ulanara glanced at her and nodded. She agreed.
Madam Li didn't know why the Emperor left the Yi Kun Palace at this time and went straight to the Jingren Palace to visit Fourth Elder Brother. For her, she was jealous of the Emperor and valued Fourth Elder Brother.
However, if Madam Nian knew what Niocoulu had done and the Emperor's reaction, she believed that the two of them would become mortal enemies. At that time, she just needed to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Wouldn't it be better if they both suffered?
Niocoulu had always been careful and cautious. She even pretended to be innocent like a little white flower. This time, she would suffer a little first and explore the way.
Madam Li, who thought that she had a plan in her heart, went forward to help Ulanara.
The Empress had no children. If only she could help her at this time. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with her?
"Your Highness, you just recovered. I still have a few old ginseng in the warehouse. I will ask someone to send it to you later. Your Highness is the master of the harem. You have to manage us, the concubines, and solve problems for the Emperor. It's really hard on you. "
"Sister Qi, you are so considerate. These are all things that this Consort should do. "
The conversation between the two of them gradually faded away. Xiang Lan witnessed all of this. She was angry and tangled in her heart. In the end, she almost cried. Her master had suffered so much, but the Emperor didn't say anything to comfort her. He just said a few perfunctory words. In the end, she didn't know how to deal with it.
Xiang Lan, who was angry and angry, returned to the room with little Ah Ge in her arms.
Siyang watched her come in without batting an eyelid. She had heard everything they said outside clearly. Yin? His performance was both within her expectations and beyond her expectations.
Nian Yaoyao had recently received Yin? He had been put in an important position. When he returned to Shaanxi, he had received a series of rewards. At least in the next two or three years, he should be the backbone minister. Even if he was Yin? If he wanted to be afraid, there was no need to make it so obvious now.
She had just given birth, and he had come to take a look. Moreover, she had been plotted against during the birth. Although he had spoken fiercely, he didn't seem to want to deal with those women in the harem at all.
Although there was no evidence, who else could have plotted to kill the Imperial Consort and the imperial heir other than those jealous concubines in the harem?
"Master, don't be sad. The Emperor has just said that he will definitely give you justice. It's just that Consort Xi said that Fourth Ah Ge fell off the horse and was seriously injured and vomited blood. That's why the Emperor wanted to go over and take a look." Xiang Lan blamed all of this on Lady Niubalu.
Her Highness had called the imperial physician to her Jingren Palace when she was giving birth. Her master suffered because of it. Now, she even used Fourth Ah Ge to make trouble.
Siyang felt bad? That was impossible. However, she had remembered all of this. When the time came, she would slowly settle the score with those people.
"This time, I still have too much hope for the Empress Dowager." Although Siyang wasn't afraid of the tricks of the imperial concubines in the harem, she had discussed it with the Empress Dowager, Wu Ya. When she was giving birth, she would take good care of these people so that they wouldn't cause trouble.
In the end, it was useless. Siyang felt very unhappy.
The next day, Yin came to Emperor Palace. He came to Yi Kun Palace again, but because Si Yang was in confinement, it wasn't convenient for him to enter the room. The two of them talked through a curtain.
"We know that you have suffered. Yao 'er, don't worry. Take care of your body. We have already sent someone to deal with the midwife. When the time comes, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Siyang leaned against the bed and held her youngest son in her arms. She touched the child's tender face and smiled slightly. However, she said sadly, "This concubine thanks Your Majesty. It's enough to hear Your Majesty's words. Even if it's a narrow escape, this concubine is already satisfied to be able to give birth to Your Majesty's children."
The hand that was gently tapping on her knee paused. Yin? She pursed her lips and sighed. Then, she said firmly, "We will definitely investigate thoroughly."
Investigate thoroughly? What could they find out? Siyang didn't know who made the midwife this time, but it was just a few people.
"Your Majesty, this concubine knows about Sister Consort Xi. Please don't blame her. She has a motherly heart and cares about Fourth Elder Brother. Who knew that it would be so coincidental?"
The words came from the room. Yin? At first, he didn't react. Later, he understood that Siyang was talking about the imperial physician that Lady Niotuolu asked to leave. After he saw Fourth Elder Brother, he actually didn't want to blame her at all. However, now that he was picked to say it, he didn't know how to answer.
"Ahem … It's best that you can relax. Fourth Elder Brother's injuries are indeed serious."
Gently shaking her son, Si Yang's lips curled into a cold smile.
Siyang was now raising two little brothers. According to the order of teeth, Fuhui was the sixth elder brother. When Fuyi died, he was too young and didn't have any order.
She didn't know who was next, Yin? What was she thinking? She didn't give Fuhui any order. Everyone called him little brother. She didn't know if it was because she cherished Fuhui and was afraid that he would die early with his siblings, so she didn't give him any order. Or … she knew that he wouldn't live long.
Now, there was another little brother, Yin? When she named her youngest son Fupei, she officially made Fuhui the sixth elder brother and Fupei the seventh elder brother.
"I hope that these two children will have good fortune for a long time."
Therefore, among all the elder brothers in the palace, the word "Fu" was in front of her children. It was not arranged according to the order of the Aisin Gioro Family.
Siyang didn't mind this. She didn't care about it. She really hoped that these two children would have good fortune as he said.
Siyang hadn't finished her confinement yet. Yin? There was also progress in the investigation of the midwife's poisoning.
The midwife didn't die after being forced to drink the medicine by Xiang Lan. Xiang Lan only drank half of the medicine and left the other half for the imperial physician to examine. That medicine wasn't poison. It was medicine that made the pregnant woman bleed heavily. If the medicine was good, it wouldn't be a problem to kill the mother and the child. The person who did it must be vicious.
Following the investigation of the midwife, it finally pointed to Concubine Geng.
Concubine Geng gave birth to a son. It was Fifth Elder Brother. He usually looked quiet and didn't stand out. He was also an inconspicuous existence among the concubines. When this clue pointed to him, no one expected it.
Even though Concubine Geng cried and said that she was wronged, even the palace maids in her palace admitted it directly. They even found the remaining medicine in her palace. She couldn't defend herself.
Yin? In anger, she wanted to banish her to the Cold Palace. Later, because she gave birth to a son, she was demoted to Chang Zai. Fifth Elder Brother was also taken away.
It was only after the dust had settled that Si Yang found out about all of this.
"Yu Chang Zai moved out of Zhong Cui Palace and lived in a small side hall at the back. He was not allowed to walk around without an edict. Fifth Elder Brother was taken to the Empress' side to be raised temporarily."
Xiang Lan twisted a handkerchief and wiped Siyang's hands carefully. She slowly said this.
Siyang narrowed her eyes slightly and listened. Then she sneered, "They really found a scapegoat."
"Master, you mean?" Xiang Lan heard something wrong and stared at her with wide eyes.
"It wasn't Yu Chang Zai who drugged her." Siyang shook her head. She felt pity for Concubine Yu's unexpected disaster.
Thinking, Siyang withdrew her hand and unfolded a piece of paper. She felt ridiculous when she saw what was written on it.
Wuya really knew how to speak after the fact. She actually told her at this time that it was Concubine Li who did it. The midwife was Concubine Li's person. But where was the clue? She understood everything. Wasn't it a waste of time?
But it was also good. Concubine Geng was Niutuolu's person. Now, she had broken one of her arms. But …
"Fifth Elder Brother is now given to the Empress." Siyang slowly folded the paper.
Xiang Lan put away the things and went forward to massage Siyang's body. She nodded and said, "The Emperor said so. But it should be considered foster care. After all, if Fifth Elder Brother is recorded under the Empress' Yu Die, this matter will be big."
It was indeed so.
The Empress had no children. Now there was a Fifth Elder Brother. If he was recorded under the Yu Die, he would be a legitimate legitimate son. No one would want to see that.
"I'm just afraid …" Handing the paper behind her, Siyang shook her head, "The Empress is thinking too much."
Xiang Lan stopped and silently took the paper. She took it to the back and lit it on the candlestick.
"It's about to start. We have to slowly plan and then act." Siyang said.
"Master is right."
After Siyang finished her confinement, the weather became hot. It was a good day.
At this time, Yin? He suddenly ordered the border guards, including the ministers of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, and other places to use grain and other things to listen to Nian Jaoyao's orders. Therefore, Nian Jaoyao's power was further expanded. In addition, Yin was full of praise for Nian Jaoyao. It made people feel that this was a popular minister and did not dare to underestimate him.
At the same time, in the imperial harem, Siyang was more favored than the other concubines.
The imperial harem and the previous dynasty had always been closely related. Not to mention that the imperial harem could not interfere in politics, that was on the surface. In the dark, their influence could not be ignored.
Right now, Imperial Consort Nian was in the limelight. Even though she did things according to the rules, her title of Imperial Consort, the two princes by her side, her capable family, and the Emperor's favor made her stand out no matter how one looked at her.
Just as the women in the imperial harem were jealous, explosive news suddenly spread to the palace.
The governor of Shaanxi, Nian Jaoyao, was accidentally injured when he was suppressing local bandits. The injury was serious. Even though his life was saved, the injury was so serious that he could not continue with his official duties. Therefore, he specially submitted a memorial to the Emperor to resign in advance and return to his hometown.
All of this happened so quickly that people were caught off guard.
Just a moment ago, they were still envious of the Nian family's merit of ascending to the throne. In the blink of an eye, the pillar of the Nian family, Nian Jaoyao, was crippled.
Other than Nian Jaoyao, there were other officials in the Nian family. However, they did not have the power that Nian Jaoyao had. His resignation was very straightforward. He handed over all his military power and other things.
Yin? When he received this news, he was also very shocked.
He had thought many times about how to get rid of this malignant tumor that he had raised, but the result was something he had never expected.
He was indeed wary of Nian Jaoyao, but he also needed him. Therefore, on one hand, he gave him power and status to raise him. On the other hand, he secretly guarded against and schemed. Even … even the person he liked, his child.
But now …
He got what he wanted? He was not happy, but he also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Imperial Concubine, regarding your brother's matter, it really makes my sister sad."
Siyang had expected this when she greeted her in the morning. Looking at Madam Li's pretentious appearance, she glanced at her. She was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Madam Li spat in her heart. What was she so proud of? The Nian family was about to fall. Let's see how long she could smile.
"Swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. This is inevitable. Governor Nian was born as a military officer. In fact, it's not bad for him to return to his hometown and enjoy his old age," Madam Niocoulu said with a smile.
Looking at Madam Niocoulu's gentle smile, Madam Li felt that it was an eyesore. Wasn't she just pretending? She had hurt someone before, but now she had recovered. Madam Niocoulu was really vicious.
Siyang turned to look at Madam Niocoulu and raised her eyebrows. "Imperial Concubine, sister Xi, how is Fourth Elder Brother recently? Has his injury healed?"
Madam Niocoulu's smile froze. Then she covered her mouth and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine. It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Fourth Elder Brother has just been able to walk. At that time, I was really scared."
"That's good."
Madam Niocoulu's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy. She glanced at Siyang again. However, she was holding the teacup, blowing on the hot steam, and slowly sipping the tea. She looked very calm.
She suddenly felt that Madam Nian had changed.
Nian was the youngest when she entered the mansion. At that time, the Emperor, who was still a prince, doted on her the most. Because of this, her personality was spoiled and she spoke very straightforwardly. However, ever since she entered the palace, she seemed to have changed. She became unpredictable.
Ulanara sat on the main seat and watched all of this with a cold look in her eyes. Siyang happened to see this and narrowed her eyes.
"If your Nian family falls, what will you use to save my fourteenth son?"
Siyang was invited to Yonghe Palace by the Empress Dowager's people after she left Yongshou Palace.
As soon as she arrived, Wuya was very straightforward.
Looking at the grief and anger in Wuya's eyes, Siyang smiled faintly and said, "Empress Dowager, you didn't keep your promise. I thought you had terminated the cooperation."
"You …" Wuya choked. She knew that Siyang was talking about her delivery.
At that time, Wuya did not try her best. Knowing that she almost made a mistake, she regretted it. After all, if Siyang died, what would happen to her fourteenth son? Later, she told Siyang the information she found, thinking that she had tried her best.
Wuya lay on the chair, touched her forehead and said, "It's useless to say these things to me now. You are already useless. Do you think I will let you tease me?"
She thought that she could use the power of the Nian family to save her fourteenth son from the pain of imprisonment. However, she did not expect that the Nian family would fall so quickly. Wuya trembled with hatred.
Siyang was very calm. She took a piece of the snack from Yonghe Palace and ate it. When she wanted to drink water, she found that there was not even a cup of water.
"Empress Dowager, you are wrong." Siyang put down her hand helplessly and shook her head at Wuya. "It's just that Nian Yaoyao fell, but the Nian family did not."
"Nian Yaoyao represents the whole Nian family." Wuya was clear about this.
"I know what you are worried about, Empress Dowager. Why don't you wait? Anyway, you can't get Fourteenth Master out in a short time. Let's see how Fourteenth Master will be released by the Emperor."
Wuya frowned. The Nian family had lost its power. What could they do? However, Siyang's calm appearance made her want to believe in her.
"Can you really do it?"
Siyang blinked and said, "It's all up to you, Empress Dowager. We have a good relationship. Don't let me down."
"Fourth Elder Brother, slow down." Xiao Gaozi jumped behind and chased after the young man in front.
The young man was about twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a prince's robe. His identity could be deduced from the little eunuch's shout.
"What are you shouting for? I have been lying in bed for more than two months. I just came out to stretch my muscles. What's the fuss about?" The young man, who was Fourth Elder Brother Hong Li, turned around and scolded the little eunuch with a glare.
The little eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to refute. However, after thinking for a while, he reminded him in a low voice, "Fourth Elder Brother, Imperial Concubine Xi said that your leg has not recovered. You can't move around. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get sick."
Hearing this, Hong Li snorted. He stretched out his leg and kicked it hard. Then, he stomped his foot hard. The dust on the ground was kicked up. "See? I'm fine. "
"Oh, Fourth Elder Brother, you can't do this." Xiao Gaozi rushed forward in a flurry and hugged Fourth Elder Brother's right leg. His voice was trembling as he said, "Master, they all said that you haven't fully recovered yet. If Imperial Concubine Xi sees this, she'll beat this servant to death."
Seeing that Xiao Gaozi was about to cry, Hong Li kicked him and said, "Go."
"Then you should stop talking."
