De Fei smiled and answered one by one. Kangxi chatted with her a few more words, and then he drove back to the Palace of Qing Dynasty. After Kangxi left, Jade gently walked to Concubine De's side, and asked in a low voice: "Niang, why did the emperor talk about the prince, the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother?"
De Fei was silent for a moment, and did not answer, but instead asked: "You said that the prince mistakenly wore the dragon robe, is it the fourth or the old man's hands and feet?"
Jade thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The slave servant doesn't know."
De Fei whispered: "My palace sees that this is probably done by the fourth man secretly."
Jade was very surprised when he heard it, and said in doubt, "No? Brother Si was not in Beijing at all a while ago, how could he do it."
Concubine Deji laughed, "The son born in this palace, this palace knows best, Jade, you can arrange it, tomorrow the palace will invite the prince and the fourth son to the palace to have a light meal."
Jade didn't understand De Fei's thoughts, and replied "Yes" in a low voice, and stepped back.
On the second day, Concubine De concubine took advantage of washing the dust for the fourth elder brother to hold a banquet in Yonghe Palace and invited the prince and the fourth elder brother to come. Because the prince lost his mother since he was a child, although he grew up with Kangxi, the concubine De concubine was generous and caring and took care of her. Therefore, the relationship between the prince and concubine de concubine was deeper than that of other concubines, except for festivals or concubine de concubine. Come to Yonghe Palace to greet her on her birthday. Therefore, the prince didn't think much about this banquet for the concubine De Fei. He only brought a small eunuch who was close to him.
After drinking for three rounds, De Fei said: "When you were young, you liked to sit next to your house every time you had a meal. Now that you get older, your chances are getting less and less."
The crown prince laughed and said, "Where is the Concubine De consort, as long as you give an order, we will come over immediately, fourth child, don't you think?"
Si elder brother did not know why his mother invited the prince and him to come. Hearing this, he just nodded faintly, "The second elder brother said yes."
De Fei smiled, if she looked at Si elder brother deeply, and said: "Yesterday the emperor came up to my place, he said, the old man is now alive, and everything is ahead of your brothers, my palace thought, We don’t compare with others, but we can’t be too far behind, can we? So we organized this banquet specially to ask your brothers to be of the same mind and to cut money."
The prince was simple and didn't think too much. He just nodded and said, "Don't worry, Empress Defei, I will work very hard. Besides, the fourth child will help me."
Concubine De Fei nodded gently, but told Jade to take out an envelope and handed it to the prince in front of the fourth prince. He smiled and said: "The palace believes that you are all good children, but the prince has always been honest and honest. There are a lot of ghost ideas. It doesn’t matter if you were a kid to make jokes. When you grow up, you still have to understand the distinction between inferiority and inferiority."
The prince glanced through the envelope, and wondered: "What is this?"
Concubine Defei glanced at the fourth elder brother with a smile, and replied seemingly: "This is evidence that the fourth child made a mistake. If he doesn’t respect your brother one day, it’s not good for you. You can use this to find your emperor Ama to punish him. ."
The prince felt a little surprised for a while: "This..."
The Si elder brother next to him suddenly got up, walked over to Concubine De, and knelt down, and asked: "What the hell did the fourth elder brother make, please tell me."
The prince also looked at Concubine De concubine in a puzzled manner, but Concubine De Concubine smiled and helped the fourth elder brother, and said warmly, "Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing special. Yesterday morning, I heard that there was a small eunuch named Xiao Wuzi. Hanged in Kunning Palace, Emiya went there and took a circle, where I remembered something about your childhood. The fourth child, Emiyah has no other ideas, I just hope you two brothers can hold your hands tightly. It's tight. Don't fight between snipe and clam, let the fisherman benefit, understand?"
Si elder brother already knew in his heart that he must have designed to frame the prince, and the matter of changing the python robe to the dragon robe was already known by De Fei. De Fei was deliberately beating herself. He paused and replied with a respectful voice: "Erchen understands. ."
Concubine De Fei smiled and gave the prince and the fourth eldest some food, and said with satisfaction: "That's good, eat, eat, eat together."
Si elder brother glanced across the envelope in the Prince's hand, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
After eating, he came out of the Defei Palace. The prince swept the envelope in his hand casually, and couldn't help but smiled, and said, "With our brothers' friendship, how can you be against me? Defei Empress is really strange. Give me such a thing."
Before he could finish his words, Brother Si turned to him and knelt down. The prince was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and asked, "Hey, what are you doing? Get up."
The fourth elder brother said earnestly: "Second brother, the fourth child will not say anything nice, but please believe that the fourth child is absolutely loyal to you, and the world is a lesson."
The prince heard him expressing his thoughts, and was very moved. He helped him up and explained, "Of course I believe you. I should have returned this envelope to you. But since Empress Defei gave it to me so carefully, If I return it to you, I will look disrespectful to her old man. If this is done, I will keep it first, and I will let Empress De Concubine return it to you when I find a suitable time."
Si elder brother said boldly after hearing the words: "The old fourth line sits upright, and he is not afraid of any handle falling into the hands of others. Just leave it on the second elder brother."
The prince was afraid that the brother's heart would be chilled by this, and asked uneasy: "Are you angry?"
Brother Si smiled, "No."
The prince was relieved, and patted his shoulder with a smile: "It’s fine if we don’t. We are brothers, two of us are killed. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable... By the way, have you been to Tanglin recently? ?"
Brother Si did not expect that the prince would suddenly ask about this, and he was slightly startled, and then replied, "No."
The prince heard a look of loss on his face, and whispered: "I don't know how Xiangu is going? I have been dreaming about her recently. I hope she has nothing to do."
Si elder brother was secretly shocked, Qingchuan was seriously injured, and he was afraid that he would still be recuperating in that small town at the moment. How could the prince suddenly mention her? Could it be that the prince heard some wind and knew that Qingchuan was in his hands? Thinking about it this way, when I look at the prince's smile, I feel that it contains some profound meaning.
Seeing that Brother Si had no response for a long time, the prince couldn't help but patted him, wondering: "Hey, what are you thinking? Did you hear me when I was talking to you?"
Si elder brother came back to his senses, smiled, and said: "I heard it, I heard it, isn't it just seeing Xiangu? When I have time that day, I will definitely help you to see her, right?"
The prince did not know the thoughts of Bai Zhuan in the belly of the four elder brothers. He just said with joy: "This is a good brother, go, and have a few more glasses at my place!"
After that, he pulled the fourth elder brother to his Yuqing Palace.
It was past noon when Si elder brother came out of Yuqing Palace again, and Zhao An, who was close to him, was still waiting outside the palace gate. Seeing him coming out of the palace, he greeted him and said: "Siye, you finally figured out. Now, Fujin has sent someone to ask several times."
The fourth elder brother frowned upon hearing this, and ignored it. After a while on the horse, but didn't know what he thought of, he suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped out of the city. Zhao An was taken aback, fearing that the fourth elder brother might have an accident, he hurriedly greeted several entourages and guards who followed him.
More than a hundred miles south of the capital, I arrived at the small town where Qingchuan lived temporarily. Brother Si ran all the way. When he got outside the town, the sky was already dark. Looking down from the hillside, the town was bright. The lights glowed yellow in the night. Si Agele stopped his horse, quietly looking at the small town in the night in a trance.
A few of the Si elder brothers chased after him, and when they saw that their master had arrived outside the town but refused to enter the town, they felt a little strange, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to guard silently not far away. Si elder brother stood silently for half an hour, but he turned his horse's head and walked slowly along the original road with his bridle.
Zhao An was puzzled, followed behind, and couldn't help but ask: "Si Ye, since I'm here, why don't you go in and see that girl?"
Si elder brother shook his head gently. Since there is no hope, why should he be involved again. Today, the prince suddenly mentioned Qingchuan. Whether he was tempting or not, it explained one thing, that is, the prince has always been obsessed with Qingchuan. In that case, it is better to send Qingchuan to the prince. Maybe it can be repaired with the prince. The relationship between.
He opened his mouth, and in the end he told Zhao An in a harsh voice: "After her injury stabilizes, let the two of them take her back to Beijing."
As soon as he uttered the words, his heart suddenly became empty, and he sent Qingchuan to the prince, in order to unite the prince to attack the old eight. This is obviously the most sensible way, but why is he still so sad in his heart? Is it just because she gave her life to save him? If only so, why didn't he dare to look at her when he came here? For a time, Si elder brother only felt that his heart was extremely complicated, and he was also a little confused.
In the Yongwang Mansion, Jin Zhi also stayed up all night. The fourth elder brother went to the palace for a day. She sent someone to ask a few times. At first, she only said that it was the Concubine Dee who hosted a banquet. Later, she said that the prince asked him to go. not coming back
Since the incident in Nanyuan, although Si elder brother said that he forgave her, his feelings towards her have been much colder. She has already noticed in her heart, for fear that Si elder brother will abandon her, but she never understands people like him. He was thinking about something, so in order to keep him, she could only take him closer.
The last time he came back from the palace, she had a beautifully embroidered purse on her body. She secretly took it off. Seeing that he didn't notice it, she felt relieved. No matter which vixen gave him, as long as he had never Just keep it in mind, but this time, for whom is he staying away all night
Just thinking about it like this, he stayed up until dawn and didn't see Si elder brother, and then sent someone to ask, but said Si elder brother was already in the upper dynasty. Jin Zhi secretly hated in his heart, and asked the fourth elder brother's personal long to follow Zhao An to ask. Knowing that the man had always been strict in his mouth, afraid that he could not ask anything, he simply sent his mother Liu next to him to inquire about yesterday. Who will wait next to Si elder brother? Ask Si elder brother where he went last night.
Liu Ma was a confidant brought by Jin Zhi from her natal family. After listening to her master’s instructions, she went out busy. She didn’t come back until noon. She returned to Jin Zhi and said: "Fu Jin, I have already inquired clearly. Yesterday Si Ye went out directly after coming out of the palace. Jing, went to Wuliu Town in the south of Beijing, but didn't enter the town. He just stood outside for a while and rushed back overnight."
