Eighth brother asked: "What's the matter?"
Qingchuan opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "My mother is gone."
Eighth Brother was startled, and subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"
Qingchuan looked back at the dry well and said, "Emama is gone. She fell into the well. All the maids and eunuchs went down to fish, but they couldn't."
Eighth elder brother stared at her blankly, as if to see if she was telling a joke. After a long while, he shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Qingchuan hurriedly took Ba Ge's hand and said, "You calm down and listen to me to finish."
But Ba Ge was still calm at this moment. He grabbed Qingchuan’s wrist with his backhand and asked in a little panic: "You and E Niang are cheating on me, aren't you? Where is she? You quickly take me there. See her."
Qingchuan looked at him sympathetically, but didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Ba Age shook her hand abruptly, walked around her and walked towards the fire. Qingchuan was afraid that something might happen to him, so he hurried to chase after him.
The fire was brightly lit, and Kangxi, who rushed over after receiving the report, stood in the courtyard, looking motionless at the dry well. Doubts, sadness, anger... All kinds of emotions rushed into my heart, and Kangxi said angrily: "This well has no water at all. How can it be drowned? You all have the crime of deceiving the king, and all of you will be put to death."
Seeing Kangxi's anger, all the people in the courtyard knelt down, and the eunuchs who saw the concubine Liang disappeared at the mouth of the well kowtow again and again, and said in a trembled voice: "The emperor, the servants dare not lie, the servants do look. Until the concubine Liang disappeared at the mouth of this well."
Just as he was talking, eight grandpa pulled Qingchuan and ran in from outside. Kangxi saw him, grabbed him, and asked, "Old Ba, you tell me, is your mother joking with me? Just like you lied to Qingchuan that time, is it a situation? You say, you Say..."
Eight princes are in confusion in their own minds, how can they return to Kangxi's question.
Kangxi seemed to be eager to get confirmation, and asked anxiously: "Come and see, there is no water in this well, and it's so shallow. How could your mother disappear? Do you believe the legends outside and take you? Do you treat your mother as a monster?"
Qingchuan thought for a while, and stepped forward and said: "The emperor, the concubine was also there at the time, and the concubine also saw the entire process of the disappearance of the concubine Liang. The concubine thought that whether it was a human or a demon, a god or a ghost, the concubine Liang was present. After entering the palace for so many years, I have never done anything to harm the Qing Dynasty or the emperor. Let's treat her as a fairy in the sky, and the merits will fly away successfully. Please stop angering anyone."
Kangxi was stunned. Didn't Liang Fei really hurt him? But how did he feel that he was already bruised all over. He suddenly remembered that she had spoken a lot to him in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty during the day. It turned out that she was leaving. She walked so clean that she didn't even leave a dead capital. No, he can't let her leave as she wants, stay as she wants, no matter whether she is a fairy or a monster, she can't!
Kangxi turned his head to look at the dry well and exclaimed angrily: "Li Dequan, seal up all the places in this area, and find a craftsman to dig this well for me. I want to see people when I live, and the corpse when I die. Even if I dig three feet in the ground, I want to find Concubine Liang, do you hear me?"
Li Dequan hurriedly responded loudly: "Hey!"
Kangxi walked away, angrily back to the Palace of the Qing Dynasty. Li Dequan personally led someone to seal off the entire fire scene, and asked someone to dig the dry well, but he dug it straight to the end, but he couldn't find the trace of the concubine Liang.
Li Dequan had no choice but to report the result to Kangxi cautiously. Kangxi sat on the throne with a gloomy expression. He didn't make a sound for a long time. It took a long time before he waved his hand faintly, "Go down."
Concubine Liang disappeared out of thin air in the palace like this, and everyone in the palace got news, some were happy and some were worried.
In Yonghe Palace, Consort De Fei did not respond to the news for a long time. Jade looked at her and said carefully: "I heard that the emperor shut himself up for a day, and came out the next day as if it had never happened before. As usual, he went to court to deal with political affairs."
A hint of bitterness flashed across De Fei's face, and she whispered: "The emperor feels bitter in his heart."
Jade hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Is the master going to see the emperor?"
De Fei thought for a moment, but shook her head, "I can’t go now. I know the emperor’s temperament, the more he doesn’t care about it, the more he cares about it in his heart. Liang Fei suddenly disappeared, and he must have resentment in his heart. Let's bump into him recklessly at this time and it will make him angry."
Sure enough, seeing the concubine Liang disappeared suddenly, a concubine wanted to take the opportunity to invite pets, but unexpectedly received a reprimand from Kangxi and was banned.
After hearing the news, Jade hurriedly went back to tell Concubine De, flattering: "The master still understands the emperor's thoughts."
Concubine De Fei had just read the letter from Elder Fourteen, and she was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "After all, she has been with the emperor for so long, so she is better than the younger ones."
Jade saw that she was in a good mood, glanced at the letter paper, and said jokingly: "I don't know what Elder Brother Fourteen wrote to the master to make the master so happy."
As soon as De Fei said this, the smile on her face became stronger, she raised the letter paper in her hand, and smiled: "Look, the old fourteen child will make the palace happy. He said that he fell in love with Mongolia. A Mongolian gege, planning to stay in Mongolia and not coming back, was so scared that my palace sweat came out. But fortunately, he said later, because he missed my palace, he decided to give up his love and go back to the palace to serve Erniang. You said this child How does the mind grow? It's cold for a while and hot for a while, making people look up and down."
Jade smiled and said, "The master is also happy, isn't he?"
Concubine De nodded and said: "Yes, I am worried, and I can get a word of words. I am naturally relieved. By the way, is there any news from Lao Ba recently?"
Jade replied: "I heard that the emperor was particularly indifferent to the eighth elder brother. Several times after the eighth elder brother and the Eighth Fukujin asked for peace, they have not seen him.
De Fei sighed softly and whispered: "This is the same good concubine, no one is alive, no corpse is to be seen, and she has to take her clothes and go to the burial. She died a hundred, and she would suffer for her by leaving a son. ."
Jade was in a bad mood because she was afraid that Concubine Dee would think of the matter of concubine Liang's special pet, and said hurriedly, "Why don't it be better for the master?"
De Fei nodded lightly and sighed, "Yes. I thought about how much effort it took, but I didn't expect even God to help."
"Master, don't worry, the master has suffered so much in this life, and he will definitely be blessed." Jade said, changing the subject without showing a trace, and asked: "Hey, count the days, the fourteenth elder brother should be back. Right
As soon as the fourteenth elder brother was mentioned, all of Defei's troubles disappeared immediately, and she only said: "It is said that these days, it has not been written yet. This child has been casual since he was a child, and it is a little uncontrollable. Maybe he has already arrived in the capital by now. , It’s just that we don’t know. If you want to subdue his heart, you have to spend a lot of time."
Jade heard this and laughed: "The master is not afraid. Elder brother Fourteen has listened to you the most since he was a child. Didn't he say it? He is the grandson monkey, and you are the Tathagata Buddha. No matter how powerful the grandson monkey is, you can't find the Tathagata Buddha. In the palm of his hand."
When she said this, De Fei chuckled and laughed, and said with a smile: "You, you're going to learn like him soon. Nothing is good, just sweet."
Jade hurriedly smiled and responded, "Don't dare to slave servants!"
The two of them were talking and laughing, and a court lady came in from outside and reported: "Master, someone from the Qianqing Palace is spreading a message. It is said that the fourteenth elder brother is back. First, I went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor. Then I will come over to the master. Please peace."
Concubine De Fei didn't expect that Elder Fourteen would enter the palace so soon. He was surprised and delighted when she heard the words, and hurriedly told Jade to go down and prepare what Elder Fourteen loved to eat. Seeing that she was so happy, Jade hurriedly turned around and went out. Concubine De was anxiously waiting in the hall, and from time to time she sent people to the palace gate to see if the fourteenth elder brother had come. After a short half an hour, the fourteenth elder brother was accompanied by the fourteenth brother into the Yonghe Palace.
The fourteenth elder brother entered the door, knelt down in front of Concubine De with a puff, knocked her head, and said: "The child minister is back, and the child minister is not filial, so E Niang is worried."
Concubine De Fei hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the fourteenth elder brother up, raised her head and looked at his face carefully, and shed tears happily, and said: "You are tall and dark. You boy, why don't you want to come back as soon as you go? !"
The fourteenth elder brother grinned and helped Concubine De to walk to the chair to sit down, and smiled: "I'm not back now, Elder mother, don't train me, I urged the horse to run all the way in order to see Elder mother earlier. I'm still hungry for a while."
After hearing this, Concubine De hurriedly greeted Jade to serve Elder Fourteen’s favorite food, and then turned her head to ask Elder Fourteen’s situation in the army. The mother and son talked affectionately for a long time, and Concubine Dee watched. Until the fourth elder brother was still standing in the house, his face felt a little embarrassed, and he smiled under cover, and said: "The fourth brother, come and sit down too, what are you doing while standing there?"
Si elder brother smiled faintly and said: "No, when I came just now, Erchen had already chatted with the fourteenth brother. Erniang and the fourteenth brother have a good story. There is still something in the Erchen mansion, so leave first. Up."
After speaking, he resigned from Concubine De and fourteenth princes and left the palace.
When he returned to the Yongwang Mansion, Jin Zhi was still waiting for him to eat. Seeing him entering the door, he hurriedly fetched water and served him to wash, and asked casually: "Si Ye, the purple potato Emperor Amak we sent still likes it."
Since the last time he was reprimanded by Kangxi, Si elder brother has not participated much in the court affairs. He has been cultivating his character in the mansion. Later, he opened a vegetable plot in the back garden and planted some fresh fruits and vegetables. A few days ago, the purple sweet potato was new in the garden, and the fourth elder brother sent some into the palace. He never thought that Kangxi had eaten it but was happy, and by the way, even the fourth elder also praised it.
Brother Si smiled and nodded when Jin Zhi asked. When Jin Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "In fact, it's good to be a farmer with the Fourth Master like this, even if it's a little bit more tiring, I feel pure in my heart."
Si elder brother was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold the hand of the golden branch. Jin Zhi returned to his senses and hurriedly said with a smile: "Look at what nonsense I said, Si Ye is a man of great ambition, please don't be like my wife."
