The noise of a person falling down is very loud, not to mention that everything is so quiet except for the sound of shallow breathing.
Yinzhen withdrew his hand, took a step back, turned his head away nervously, then lowered his eyes, opened his red palm and blew it.
There was a loud noise in the courtyard, which immediately alarmed the guards with swords on night patrol, as well as the wet nurse Chen who was not far away. Their faces froze, and they quickly ran towards the wedding room. The door was wide open, with candlelight shining through. When the guards saw the woman rolling in front of Yinzhen, their hands and feet suddenly turned cold and they were almost speechless.
Chen was so frightened that her soul was about to be blown away. She burst into tears immediately: "Eleventh Prince!"
Assassin. An assassin has sneaked into Yuqing Palace!
If the eleventh prince got hurt, their lives would be lost. Thinking of the crown prince's wedding today, the guards felt even more frightened, and swarmed forward and restrained Chunlin fiercely.
The four men tied her up tightly with ropes, and then pulled Chunlin's hair to expose her face. The blood blurred her face, and it was hard to recognize her for a while. They were all shocked, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky and incredible.
The Eleventh Prince was only six years old, but he solved the problem by himself... the assassin?!
The others were still unaware of the situation. Seeing Yinzhen standing outside the door with his hands behind his back, they all knelt down and said anxiously and ashamedly, "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Eleventh Prince. Was you frightened? I have sent someone to look for Your Majesty and Concubine Yi..."
"I'm fine." Yinzhen cleared his throat, took a long breath, and slowly calmed his heartbeat. His eyes were watery, and he stretched out his hand and said embarrassedly, "It's just that the medicine powder is a little hot..."
Mother said that this was a good thing she had the Imperial Hospital equipped with for self-defense. The red and white powder would not cause any harm if held in the hand, but once it got into one's eyes, it would be no less cruel than the torture of lingchi - although Yinzhen did not know what lingchi was, he listened to Mother.
In the past few years, Yinzhen lived with Yunxiu and often listened to his mother's persuasion: "If you meet someone with bad intentions, just sprinkle it on his face. The powder will always float into his eyes. Mother knows that Yinzhen is a good boy. Don't open the brocade bag on weekdays. Do you understand?"
The eleventh prince nodded heavily, and then asked in a low voice: "Why didn't mother tell the fifth and ninth brothers?"
Yun Xiu recalled the scene in his dream and did not speak for a long time.
She knew that Yinzhen was smart, courageous, well-behaved and lovable since he was a child, but when he was ten years old...
Covering up her gaffe, she finally said softly, "Mother has reached this position now. I don't know how many people want to get rid of her." Then she laughed again, "Yinzhen is still young, just take care of yourself. Your fifth and ninth brothers are smart, so there is no need for medicine powder."
The eleventh prince remembered every word of this in his heart. Now when he recalled it, Yinzhen was slightly excited, his black eyes sparkled, and a little pride spread from the bottom of his heart.
He had already noticed that Chunlin was not right. He did not embarrass his mother, nor was he frightened, but...
I opened my palm in distress and realized that my mother was wrong. This powder was clearly hot.
******
The pain was so severe that she couldn't even make a sound. Chunlin only felt the burning pain in her eyes. She was tied up tightly and a dirty cloth was stuffed in her mouth. She was so desperate that she wished she was dead!
The other side.
The front yard was filled with drums and music, and the bridal sedan stopped in front of Yuqing Palace. The guests were exempted from the formalities, and Kangxi was both grateful and relieved. On the other side, the Ninth Prince looked as if he had seen a ghost, while the Tenth Prince excitedly called out "Mother".
After all, the Imperial Concubine was a concubine's mother, and there had never been such a rule in the past, but since the Emperor had spoken, no one could make a comment. Imperial Concubine Wen was originally smiling, but when she saw this, she glared at her own fool, and then led the palace servants to slowly entertain the female family members and went to the side hall to count the gifts.
I only heard Concubine Wen smiling and saying to Yunxiu, "I am really bored staying in Yongshou Palace all day. This time, thanks to our Concubine Yi, even though I have to come out to 'work', it is good to be able to get some fresh air."
Seeing Yun Xiu smiling but not saying anything, and looking like she was willing to help, Concubine Wen waved her hands and quickly pushed her out: "You are already a married woman, why do you need to worry about this."
As they were talking, there was a commotion ahead and vaguely heard exclamations, saying that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had arrived.
The prince rode up on horseback, with a big red ball hanging around his neck, looking extremely high-spirited. He dismounted neatly, took the red arrow handed to him by the servant, and drew his bow and aimed with ease—hitting the beam of the bridal sedan with his arrow, which was greeted with applause from the whole room.
A wedding veil blocked Jingchu's sight, and she saw a pale red. Her heart was beating fast. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard the words "get off the sedan chair." A rustling sound came into her ears, like the sound of a curtain being lifted, or the sound of shallow breathing, and finally turned into the prince's smiling voice: "Hold me."
Jingchu's heart suddenly calmed down.
"Worship Heaven and Earth—"
He clasped his hands in the wide sleeves, then loosened them for a moment, looking rather reluctant to leave. Kangxi sat high up at the head of the table, so he could not see clearly; Yunxiu, who was watching the ceremony from the side, felt relieved and nodded slightly.
Holding the red silk, he knelt down, the smile on the prince's handsome face was genuine and never faded. When he saw Yun Xiu from the corner of his eye, a trace of surprise and joy flashed across his eyes, and his smile became even wider.
Finally, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over—"
A group of people surrounded the Crown Prince's wife and walked towards the bridal chamber in great joy.
…
Kangxi usually didn't indulge in food, but today he was in the mood, so he asked Liang Jiugong to bring a pot of wine, intending to have a few drinks. Knowing that the guests dared not look directly at the emperor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked for permission to set up a separate table, which was all for the emperor to enjoy, and Yunxiu, who had quite a lot of free time, got a chance to enjoy it.
Liang Jiugong was standing outside with a smile on his face, but suddenly his expression changed slightly. The guard who looked like he was looking for someone and was covered in dust was someone he recognized. He had been working in the Qianqing Palace yesterday.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, and the guard who finally found the chief steward was extremely excited, as if he had found a savior. He wiped his face and said with difficulty: "Eunuch Liang, I have something important to report to His Majesty. There was an assassin mixed in among the servants selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was working in the main courtyard, which led to the attack of the eleventh prince... Fortunately, the prince is safe and the assassin was killed..."
Liang Jiugong's head buzzed and he no longer cared to listen to the second half of the sentence. His hands were shaking badly.
Eleventh Prince...how could such a thing happen
He said in a trembling voice: "Come with us!"
Inner room.
Upon hearing that Yinzhen had been assassinated, Kangxi's face changed drastically. He stood up suddenly, and the wine bottle fell with a "bang". Yunxiu's face turned pale immediately.
Fortunately, the guard quickly finished his words, saying that the eleventh prince had knocked down the assassin with the powder and was safe. Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief and recovered a little. However, the feeling of fear still filled her heart. She felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.
As a mother, you hope that your children will be able to protect themselves and that this ability will come in handy someday. But when the crisis really comes, who can be truly happy
The people behind the scenes had sinister intentions to attack the prince on his wedding night. They thought that if something happened to Eleven, the emperor would inevitably vent his anger on Yinreng Jingchu, and she would be even more resentful. Not only would they alienate her, but she would probably be immersed in great grief, and in this case, it was unclear whether the dragon fetus could be saved.
In addition, the prince's prestige and reputation will suffer a devastating blow. It's fine that an assassin has sneaked into the main courtyard, but he can't even take care of his younger brother in the bridal chamber. How can he have the face to live like this
Be the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty
This wedding was a joke. There might even be rumors that the Crown Prince's wife was doomed to fail - that she was not worthy of the position of Crown Princess.
After opening up the joints one by one, Yun Xiu's eyes turned cold. It was a great move that killed four birds with one stone.
"How could there be an assassin in the main courtyard? Investigate!" The imperial concubine was able to remain calm, but Kangxi could hardly suppress his rage.
With Yunxiu by his side, he finally retained some rationality. He closed his eyes and said after a while: "Suppress the information and keep it secret from the Crown Prince and Guaerjia clan tonight. Interrogate the assassin thoroughly for me." Then, he squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Don't let her die easily..."
Hearing this, the guard bowed in response, lowering his head and becoming more and more uneasy.
The emperor said coldly: "For poor guarding, each of you will receive twenty strokes of the cane."
In an instant, the guards' hearts finally settled down, and they kept kowtowing and thanking the emperor for his grace. Twenty strokes of the cane were indeed a sign of the emperor's mercy, and they would be fine after a period of recuperation. And since they had made such a mistake while on duty, no punishment was too much.
After finally regaining strength, Yun Xiu slowly stood up, her tone concealing her unstoppable worry: "Is Yinzhen frightened? Is he still in his second brother and his wife's wedding room?"
She couldn't help it and wanted to take a good look at him.
Kangxi was anxious and turned his jade ring anxiously. He only heard the guard say respectfully, "The eleventh prince is in a calm mood. I can see that he is not frightened at all... Not only did he hurt the assassin, but he also asked someone to clean up a room and wait for the emperor and his wife. The prince also asked me to tell the prince that he is sleepy and can't hold on any longer. He really can't be the boy who presses down the bed. I hope Your Highness won't blame him."
As Yunxiu listened, she couldn't help curling her lips, immediately diluting her worries. Kangxi was shocked, and his anger disappeared without a trace. He felt relieved and even happy.
Although it was a little inappropriate, his joy could not be ignored. He said in a deep voice: "Good! You are worthy of being my son."
Liang Jiugong opened his mouth wide, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He followed the emperor and the imperial concubine in a trance, and the group quietly went to the room where the Eleventh Prince was.
When the eleventh prince heard the noise, he ran out immediately. He looked extremely happy and called out obediently, "Father, mother!"
Kangxi looked him up and down for a long while, and finally he was relieved. He was about to praise him for being "fearless in the face of danger", "brave and extraordinary", "a real man"...
Yunxiu's eyes were slightly red, and she was about to hug him, but she saw Yinzhen stretch out his red palm and pout his lips and act coquettishly: "Mother, I'm hot." Please remember:, website mobile version m. computer version., free and fastest update without anti-theft without anti-theft.
