dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 46 The Palace Gate
I held my breath tightly, I had never heard this voice before, but it sounded like he knew Qin Shun'er very well, who could it be... "Slave please greet Mr. De, you are on duty here today." , the voice of Qin Shun'er getting off the horse to greet her came from outside, "De..." I muttered something in a low voice, and looked up at Xiao Tao'er, who shook her head slightly.

Hearing that Master De laughed, "Chief Qin, where are you going? I remember that you went to another courtyard with Master Shisan. Why is your son here again now?" Qin Shun'er accompanied him. Laughed twice, "Yes, the slave was originally there to serve the master, but something happened in the house, so the slave came back first."

"Oh..." Master Nade gave a long answer, as if he was thinking about something, and asked again, "Then the one in this car is...", Qin Shun'er paused, and quickly said with a smile, "It's waiting for ten Only one of the third master's personal maids is not feeling well, but there are no doctors in the other courtyard, so the master ordered the servants to bring them back, so that the doctor can have a look." "Hmph, Master Thirteen is really considerate of his servants." Mr. De snorted.

"Okay, then lift up the car curtain and show me," the Lord De said casually, Qin Shun'er fell silent for a while, as if he was stunned, he never thought that the Lord De would make such a request.My heart is also tense, if it is normal, these people have the guts to investigate the people in the prince's mansion, Qin Shun'er has just stated that we are Yinxiang's personal maids, not to mention they are not afraid of Yinxiang, and are they not afraid of his death fourth master...

"Master De, this...isn't it convenient, they are people close to the Thirteenth Master", Qin Shun'er raised her tone slightly, and there was a hint of threat in her tone, "Hehe, Butler Qin, we are here for you Huangcha, recently, the Jiangnan rebellious party came to the capital to cause trouble, and the emperor ordered the nine gates to investigate strictly, you don't know about it," Mr. De said with a sneer.

"Look at the gate of the city. Aren't all passing vehicles being inspected? Even though they belong to the Thirteenth Lord's Mansion, there is no exception. Besides, they are not Fujins. Why should Butler Qin make things difficult for us, who are just now from the Eleventh Lord's Mansion? It was only put in after checking." Lord De's voice was very calm, as if he didn't take Qin Shun'er's words to heart, but I knew in my heart that it seemed that I couldn't let it go today, and my mind was spinning...

Qin Shun'er lost her mind for a while, "Then wait a moment", when footsteps sounded, Qin Shun'er walked to the car window, lowered her voice and said quickly, "Girl, she belongs to Master Jiu, but she didn't I have seen you, he wants to search, this..." I said in a low voice, "It's okay, let them investigate, I have my own idea", Qin Shun'er paused, although he knew it was wrong, but now I had no choice but to hear him turn around and say, "Master De, if you want to investigate quickly, this girl's body can't stand the wind."

I tightly covered my face with a cotton cloth. They only said that there was a rebellious party, but they didn't see what the rebellious party looked like. They couldn't have turned their face over to see clearly. I had never seen that Lord De before. He You probably don't recognize me... But if you have to see it, it can only prove one thing, that is, Ba Ye and the others already know. times...

Xiao Tao'er's fingers were cold, she tightly grasped my skirt, I slightly shook my head to her to show her to calm down, Xiao Tao'er nodded slightly and then lowered her head.I half leaned against the board wall, pretending to be unwell, only to hear the sound of horseshoes walking slowly outside, Qin Shun'er suddenly exclaimed, "He Yi, why are you here"?
I was a little taken aback, He Yi, this name sounds familiar, it can make Qin Shun'er so panic, he must be someone who knows me, my heart sank, sure enough... I only heard a slightly squeaky voice outside the car The voice rang out, "Brother Qin, this little brother is following the order of Master Jiu to assist Mr. De." He chuckled, "After all, the family members in each mansion come and go, so it's not good for these soldiers and ruffians to bump into each other." , it is more convenient for slaves like us to do things."

He paused, then smiled and said, "I'm on official business today, so I won't talk to you, I'll buy you a drink tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he heard him getting off his horse and walking towards this side.My brain started spinning like a spinning top. The Eight Masters in the other courtyard must have guessed or knew something, but the letter spread really fast. Although I don't know how they did it, they must have their own way Notified the people in Beijing.

But if it is said that my identity is exposed in the street, it is such a stupid act, and a shrewd person like the eighth master and the ninth master may not be able to do it. They probably just want to confirm my identity, and they just want to catch up with those so-called rebellious parties Making trouble just gave them an excuse to check.

Anyone with a brain will think of how the fourth master would not dare to get a criminal like me out of the palace without the permission of "him". Minions who know.Eighth Master probably wants to take a gamble to see if he can catch a hole card. If Emperor Kangxi is alive, I am naturally nothing, but if the Emperor is dead, then I will be a sharp knife against Fourth Master and the others...

All kinds of thoughts rushed out of my mind, and I was thinking, but Qin Shun'er outside the car was stammering, neither blocking nor not blocking, "Brother Qin, let me let you, brother, just take a look." , Mr. Erde here is very busy, so you can take the girl to see a doctor, right?" The curtain of the car was slightly lifted, and He Yi's expression of a smirk suddenly came into my eyes, and I couldn't help but smile... I really have an impression of him, the only time I went to Baye's Mansion, it was he who led the way and took me in.

I sighed slightly in my heart, no wonder the book said that peace can only be won by war, blindly giving in and dodging will not bring happiness to anyone, even if I want to be a mole who only occasionally enjoys the sunshine, it is a luxury... ...The words of taking a step back and the sea and the sky, to these princes who have already killed their eyes in order to win the heir, are like a declaration of defeat. .

Seeing that He Yi slowly opened the curtain, I quietly lowered my head, clenched my fists and prepared...Suddenly there was a sound of piercing through the air, and with a "plop", the carriage was instantly dark again. Already frightened, I fixed my eyes on the front. If I heard correctly, it should be an arrow...a sharp arrow that firmly nailed the curtain of the carriage!

There was silence outside the carriage, and there were only bursts of rapid breathing in the carriage. I turned my head to look at Xiao Taoer, who was looking at me with wide-open eyes, and tightly covered her mouth with one hand. Only then did he realize that the heavy breathing was coming from his own body, so he forced a grin at Xiao Tao'er.

"Tat-tat" there was a sound of horseshoes like a torrential rain, and I subconsciously wanted to secretly lift the curtain to see who it was, but found that I couldn't move at all, and could only sit stiffly... After a horse neighed, the outside It became quiet again, only occasionally hearing the sound of horse snorting.

"Slave pays respects to the Fourteenth Master", the voices of getting off the horse sounded one after another, "Well, get up" the Fourteenth Brother said casually, and my heart trembled. Although I had vaguely guessed it was him before, I did something. Psychological construction, but now when I suddenly hear his voice, my heart is still...

"Master, why are you here? Didn't you go hunting? This is..." After a while, Mr. De's murmured voice sounded, "Hmph, why am I here? I want to ask you , I invited you to go hunting before. Didn’t you just say that you have a stomachache and can’t even get out of bed? Why is my son running here alive and kicking again?” Elder Fourteen’s grinning voice sounded, but one of them The implied cold made me shiver uncontrollably.

"Ah... Fourteenth Master, this is also a public servant, and you can't delay, so no matter how unwell you are, you have to come, ha ha," Master De justified with a dry smile. "Haha" Elder Fourteen laughed, "Deyang, when did you become so dedicated to serving the country and the people, I really admire you."

Deyang... I frowned, the name sounds so familiar, Deyang, a thought flashed through my mind, isn't he the one... "Master Fourteen, it's..." Deyang said a few words in a low voice What did you say? Even though I stretched my ears, I could only faintly hear the word "nine", and couldn't help but sighed softly. It seems that Ba Ye and the others must know something...

Thinking about it, it's been so many years, Fourth Master's trick of transforming into a living person has been hidden for a long time, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone waiting for the opportunity at those moments, waiting to catch the opponent's weakness and kill him. Its torn princes.Yinxiang's release was like opening a Pandora's box, and all kinds of malice poured in. If the previous confinement was just a loss of freedom, then after the release, there would be nothing but freedom...

It's just a little strange in my heart. It seems that Master Ba and the others didn't know about it today. If you don't listen to the meaning of their conversation just now, it seems that Master Jiu and the others want to take Fourteen Branches away, but they didn't hear the tone of Master Ten. As if he knew something... For a moment, his heart was in a state of confusion, and there was a faint idea floating in his mind, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Qin Shun'er" Fourteen suddenly shouted, "Yes", Qin Shun'er outside the window hurriedly agreed, "What are your orders", "The girl in this car is from your house", Fourteen's The voice became a little stiff, "Master Hui, she was the girl who served Thirteenth Master, but one of them was sick in another hospital, so she sent it back to the doctor," Qin Shun'er replied respectfully.

"Well", Elder Fourteen pondered for a while, "Then you go", I was taken aback, Qin Shun'er outside the car also paused, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, the servants will go first", he Paused, "Uh, lord... this arrow", "huh" the fourteenth elder brother chuckled softly, "Tong Xifu, go", "The servant obeys" a deep male voice rang out, and I couldn't help it He took a breath, Tong Xifu, isn't that the name of the guard Dong Lian fell in love with, why did he go to Elder Fourteen's side, what about Dong Lian, she...

In the confusion of thoughts, there was only a soft "poof", the arrow had been pulled out, the curtain of the car was slightly opened by the wind, and the fourteenth elder brother was standing upright, looking at it without blinking. In the car, even though I knew he couldn't see, I still subconsciously covered my mouth with my hands. Qin Shun'er outside hurriedly covered the curtain of the car, beckoning the driver to set off quickly.

Just about to leave, "Master Fourteen, if you are like this, a slave is not easy to explain to his master", Deyang suddenly stopped him, and Fourteen sneered, "You don't need to explain, I will explain, you go to your business Well, um", although I couldn't see Shisi's face, but listening to his teasing tone, I can imagine that even if he borrowed the courage of that Deyang, he would not dare to stop the famously bold and fiery Shisi. Four Baylor.

Although I don't understand what Elder Fourteen is thinking, but no matter what, he let me go after all, and my heart is a little sour. The carriage wobbled and walked for two steps, and suddenly stopped again, my heart Before putting it back in her belly, she hung it up again, "Master Fourteen, this is..." Qin Shun'er's voice sounded a little confused.

"Hmph, didn't you tell Brother Thirteen last time that his bow and arrows are going to be given to me, and I happen to have nothing to do today, so I went back with you to get them," Brother Fourteen said casually, "Brother Thirteen promised me this before leaving the city, saying that he would keep it in the mansion and let me pick it up at any time. Why, it's not inconvenient." "Ah...that's not true, it's just..." Qin Shun'er said awkwardly, Brother Fourteen laughed, "Since there is no one, let's go."

The carriage moved slowly, Xiao Taoer leaned over tremblingly, I forced a smile, and patted her hand comfortingly, my mind turned to Fourteen who was following outside the carriage... What on earth did he want to do? What, I don't want Ba Ye and others to expose my identity, but I just followed here... Yinxiang and Si Ye should have been trusted by the commotion outside the city. As for the other princes, their eyeliner is not blind. What will Ba Ye and the others do, and that person...

My thoughts were constantly ups and downs, the sound of horseshoes seemed to be stepping on my head, and my temples were twitching. Before I could figure it out, it seemed that in a blink of an eye, the carriage had already driven to the small street not far from the gate of the house.

I listened to Qin Shun'er talking about Ai Ai outside, talking to Elder Fourteen about something, trying to get him to enter the mansion, but Elder Fourteen was uncharacteristically saying nothing, just like that The good-natured Qin Shun'er kept nagging.

I smiled wryly in my heart, probably Yinzhen didn't hear what Qin Shun'er said clearly at all...every day I was afraid of meeting each other, if I really met...I pursed my lips, that's all.Feeling the speed of the carriage slow down, I took a big deep breath, turned my head and smiled at Xiao Taoer who had been stiff all the time, she was taken aback, I smiled and said, "Have you heard of the 36 plan", she clicked stupidly Nodding, "Actually, there are No.30 Seven Strategies", I winked at her.

Xiao Taoer blinked her eyes too, and was about to open her mouth when the coachman let out a "wow", and the carriage stopped. I didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Taoer, so I just turned around, straightened my back, and waited for the face-to-face meeting with Shisi a split second.Although my heart is calmer, I still can't help but smile wryly. The matter has come to an end, it's useless to talk more, only the No.30 seven tricks are left, pretending to be stupid, and denying it.

After waiting for a while, but there was no movement outside, I couldn’t help but feel a little strange. I just thought about the courage I had finally mustered up. If he didn’t come for half an hour, then I really can’t guarantee that the courage will come. How much is left...

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the mansion gate, and he was taken aback... "The servant greets the Fourteenth Master", a slightly shrill but unhurried voice sounded. My back that was straight just now seemed to be frozen, and it was broken inch by inch, and even the sound of that rattling echoed very clearly in my ears...

I will never forget this voice. If a newborn animal remembers the first thing it sees in its heart, then a human will also remember the last person it saw and what it heard before it died. ...

Although Li Dequan's voice outside the car was not loud, it was like a curse, making everyone stiff in place and unable to move.I vaguely heard him say something to the fourteenth elder brother in a low voice, but the fourteenth elder brother didn't make any more sound.

I couldn't care less about Xiao Tao'er who was so nervous that she seemed to faint at any moment, my heart went blank... I had thought about how Emperor Kangxi would react to my reappearance after Yinxiang was released.

It's not that I didn't think about the worst outcome, I thought I could face it calmly, but I found out that people who have died once are still afraid of death, a bitter taste rises in their mouths, and they reach out to rub their temples to calm down. I saw that my hands were shaking all the time.

When the curtain of the car moved, my heart skipped a beat and then seemed to stop moving again. I stretched out a hand and slowly opened the curtain, revealing Li Dequan's familiar face.

He glanced at me and saw that I was staring at him, but he didn't seem to know me, the muscles on his face didn't move, he just turned his head to look at Xiao Tao'er, waved at her, and motioned for her get off.

The panicked Xiao Tao'er obviously recognized who he was, as if frozen, she just stared at me, her lips twitching unconsciously.Li Dequan had a good temper, he didn't say anything, he just stood in front of the car and waited quietly, he just turned his body slightly to block the prying eyes from outside.

I took a deep breath, and nodded to Xiao Taoer, although I wanted to squeeze out a smile to comfort her, but... a rush of heat rushed into my eyes unexpectedly, and I was so busy that I closed my eyes. waved to her.After a while, the sound of Xiao Tao'er getting out of the carriage was heard, and the carriage started to move again when it was dark.

In this way, everything seemed to reappear as before, and I was sitting in this darkness again, and was taken to another darkness, but there was nothing I could do, I could only feel the pain of my heart being eaten away by fear...

The capital city should have been shrouded in twilight. The carriage was getting darker and darker. I leaned my knees against the window and guessed where I was now. If I guessed correctly, it was Jingshan, or...

I slowly stretched out my hand, and quietly opened a little gap. In the dimness, the big red looked more and more heavy, but the nail on the palace door not far away was shimmering slightly reflected by the lantern. I retracted my hand, He wanted to laugh at himself, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. After going around for so long, he finally returned to the original point.

"Stop!" There was a shout, and footsteps sounded. It seemed that the guards guarding the palace gate came to investigate, "Ah, Eunuch Li, why is it you?" A flattering voice sounded, but Li Dequan didn't say anything. explain.

I don't know what Li Dequan did, there was a moment of silence outside, "Quick, open the palace door" just then the voice started to shout, there was a burst of chaos, the sound of the heavy palace door "squeaking" slowly opening came in, I just felt that the tight door hinge squeezed as if it was my heart, and I couldn't help stretching out my hand to hold my heart.

The carriage drove for a while, but it was extremely quiet outside, there was no human voice heard along the way, only the "cracking" sound of wheels rolling on the bluestone road. "Okay, just stop here." Li Dequan ordered, I was stunned, swallowed dryly, and stared at the car curtain with wide eyes.

"You all go down first", there was a sound of leaving footsteps, after a while, the curtain of the car was gently lifted, and the palace lantern outside gave off a soft light, illuminating the door of the car, Li Dequan's face was calm , neither arrogant nor servile.

"Hmm..." He cleared his throat, "Get out of the car first." I was taken aback for a moment. With my current status, I naturally couldn't call me Fujin, master, but he didn't call me by my name directly, nor Called girl, but used this very vague "you"...

I can't help but wonder in my heart, what does it mean to me that the chief steward next to Emperor Kangxi uses this kind of polite title? The emperor means... Seeing Sushou standing outside, I suppressed the doubts and fears in my heart , slowly moved out of the compartment.

A hand stretched out, I hesitated, I stretched out my hand to help him get out of the car, Li Dequan's hand was as cold as mine, but his was dry and mine was soaked.Feeling a little embarrassed, I quietly wiped the palm of my hand on the lapel of my shirt, and mumbled "Thank you", but he didn't seem to notice it, just picked up a lantern and made a gesture of please, indicating I follow.

Back to this fairly familiar place, walking slowly in it, looking at those familiar pavilions, I feel a little more at ease. It’s not that I have never worked hard for my life, but the result is never determined by myself. That being the case...

I sneered, but I was taken aback. It hadn't been like this for a long time. At that time, I was still in the palace when I sneered the most. I suddenly felt a little funny. Could it be that sneering is a quirk and has been staying in the palace waiting for me to come back... …

"That's it." Li Dequan suddenly stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around, he saw a faint smile on my face. He was taken aback. His expression, which had always been like a blank sheet of paper, finally had wrinkles. I twitched the corners of my mouth. Hey, he felt a little breathless in his heart, and he didn't speak, just stood quietly like he did before.

Li Dequan drooped his eyelids, and raised his eyes again with a normal expression. I squinted my eyes slightly, this old fritter... "Come with me", I nodded, followed him, and walked along a corridor Walking down, I still didn't meet half a person on the road. Looking around, I can be sure that this is not the West Sixth Palace, could it be...

Not long after walking, a courtyard in the depths of the corridor was exposed. Looking forward, it seemed that it was a large group of courtyards, with faint lights flickering and shadows, but the outermost part of the courtyard was completely dark. It looked very uncoordinated.

I couldn't help frowning, where is this, the only thing that is certain is that I have never been here.Although there are many places in the palace that I haven't been to, I have been to all the places that concubines and maids can go to. The only ones that I haven't been to are...

Li Dequan walked over without stopping, and gently pushed open the courtyard door, which was unlocked, and no one came out to answer.He solemnly invited me in.The doubts in my heart became more and more serious, but there was no way, no matter how slow my pace was, I would eventually walk in.

This is not a small courtyard, and it is no different from other courtyards in the palace. I looked around. The pillars of the house are brand new, and the ground is also cleaned. It is different from the Yunxiu where I lived when I was detained last time. Gong was very different, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seemed that this time he was going to die, and the standard treatment was much better than last time.

"This way, please." Li Dequan, who had covered the courtyard door, came over and pointed to an ear room on his left hand. "You can rest here for now, everything is ready." He paused , Hanging his eyes and said, "Even if you don't talk about many things, you must understand that the servant will stop talking. You can rest, and the servant will come back tomorrow."

Listening to him talking about a servant, my heart became more and more confused. I really don't know whether this re-entering the palace is a disaster or a blessing, but I also know in my heart that if I try to find out from this eunuch, it is just a waste of time. Anyway, this should be what the emperor meant...

Looking back and forth in my heart, looking at the dark houses around me, an indescribable despair of being at the mercy of others but unable to break free suddenly surged into my heart. Looking at Li Dequan's seemingly respectful look, I couldn't help but feel a little faint. He mocked, "Don't dare to be, father-in-law, you are too polite, I can't stand the word slave."

It's a pity that such an ironic breeze didn't seem to even move his eyebrows. He just bent over slightly, put a lantern on the ground, and then turned around and went out. There was a "clang" outside, and I couldn't help twisting the corners of my mouth. Son, do you still need a lock here? I don't know how to fly over the wall.

The yard became quiet in an instant, except for the lantern that drifted brightly or darkly with the chill of the night, so I was always nervous and didn't feel cold.After a moment of silence, the chill seemed to come out of my heart uncontrollably, singing in harmony with the cold wind around me.

"Ah Choo", I rubbed my nose, shook my head helplessly, bent down and picked up the lantern from the ground, maybe the emperor has thousands of ways to get rid of me, but at least I can still choose, it is definitely not because of pneumonia .He walked to the ear room, and subconsciously took a photo in the direction of the main room, and the words "Maoqin Hall" clearly appeared.

I stopped abruptly and muttered, "Maoqin Palace"... I don't know what it feels like, as if I don't even have the strength to smile bitterly. I didn't expect that one day I would come to Emperor Kangxi's daily life. The place.

Maoqin Hall, located in the south of Qianqing Palace, is an integral part of it. It houses the imperial books, the four treasures of the study, and the documents for the emperor's daily use. No wonder it is so clean here. Usually there should be Maoqin Hanlin We deserve it.

I walked quickly into the side room, forced myself not to think too much, and lit the candle on the desk with the help of the light, and found that there were food boxes and warm dendrobiums that I was familiar with on the desk, and felt that the room was not cold, so I looked around Look, I found that a cooked copper brazier had been born in front of the bed, and when I got closer, I found that the bed curtains and bedding were also new.

I untied the cloak and put it aside, sat on the bed, my heart was in a mess, the thrills and surprises I experienced today were much more than the sum of the previous three years, every time I thought I had understood At some point, another variable will rush out, baring my teeth and roaring at me...

I just felt a splitting headache, "Huh", I let out a long breath, and fell on the bed sprawled, with little tassels hanging down from the edge of the curtain, fluttering slightly with the air in the room, the red peony embroidered On the top of the tent, I can't help but think of the Fujin outfit given by the emperor last time, and it is also such a big red peony...

I couldn't help thinking, Yinxiang must be in a hurry, will he break into the palace again like last time and make a big fuss, probably not... Fourth master, he must know, What else can he do this time, people can't step into the same river twice, luck is the same...

"哐啷", I was startled, woke up, sat up suddenly, my eyes were dizzy, it took a while to recover my vision, and I looked around to realize that I didn't know when, I was in a daze He fell asleep without taking off his shoes.

I rubbed my face vigorously, stood up and walked out. As soon as the door was opened, a gust of fresh and cold wind blew in my face. I was cold, but my spirit was refreshed.Look at the gate, there is a new food box and...a clean toilet. I paced over there, looked at this rather weird combination for a while, and took it in with a wry smile.

It went like this for seven whole days, people brought these things for three meals every day, but they never showed up. There were a lot of books, paper and ink in the room, but the main hall and other houses were all locked, and I also I don't care about it, I just read books every day, and if I can't stand the cranky thoughts, I go for a run in the yard.

I don't know whether the waves outside these days are turbulent or calm. I have a faint feeling that the emperor seems to have no intention of killing me, but it's not until the last moment. This is just a delusion.It seems that there is no need to confess to Yinxiang like last time. It has been proved that he can live without me, right? Thinking of this, I can't help but smile...

"Hoo hoo", with white breath out of my mouth, I kept running around the yard, my body was sweating constantly, although my body was tired, my heart felt a lot better, and I kept thinking about things all day long Yes, I was really afraid that I would end up with depression or something.

Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it's fine if I don't have a life. If I have a life, but my body is broken, isn't it the same as not having one? The victory between people is often not who has more, but who lives better. long.

There was a sudden "bang bang" at the door behind me, and I was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that I came here earlier, and it was not yet noon, so I slowed down and stopped while thinking in my heart.I took a few deep breaths quickly to calm my heartbeat, and I turned around, "Ah!" I groaned and took two steps back.

Autumn-colored uniforms, a dark golden beaulieu vest, suede boots, a bright yellow purse at the waist, and a piece of warm and beautiful jade inlaid on the crown. Although there are some gray beards, there are still shining eyes and the corners of the mouth that are always proud Son... I watched in a daze. I haven't seen him for several years, but Emperor Kangxi has aged so much.

Emperor Kangxi did not open his mouth, but stood at the door with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at me who was panting, his eyes were so deep that people could not see the truth clearly, the heavy pressure he had felt once again Pressed on my heart.

"Hmm..." Li Dequan behind the emperor coughed lightly when he saw that I was just standing silently.My heart trembled, and I wanted to kneel subconsciously, but my knees were as hard as cast iron, and it took me a long time to slowly kneel down.

I suddenly realized in my heart that I don't want to kneel down to this person who made me fake death once again. To be correct, I don't want to go back to the days of intrigue and intrigue.No matter what he thought in his heart, the desire to survive still made him kowtow, but the two slaves and servants couldn't say anything, they just said vaguely, "Greetings to the emperor, the emperor is auspicious".

"Well, get up." Emperor Kangxi said lightly, and I stood up clumsily. Kangxi looked at me twice, didn't say anything, just walked towards the side room, Li Dequan hurried up, Respectfully raised the door curtain, Kangxi walked in sideways.

Li Dequan didn't put down the door curtain, but turned his head to look at me, my heart tightened, I took a deep breath secretly, and walked into the room.Passing the door, I glanced at Li Dequan. He lowered his head, but he couldn't see why. I gritted my teeth and walked in with my head down.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that Emperor Kangxi was sitting behind the desk, looking at a piece of writing I wrote in the morning. I couldn't help but frowned slightly. There were a few large characters on it, "How can you know the joy of life without the fear of death" .Seeing that Kangxi didn't speak, I really didn't want to kneel, so I quietly stood aside.

"The handwriting is good, it's a little more upright than before." Emperor Kangxi suddenly said, "ah." At this moment, I don't know what to say, I can only suppress the panic in my heart, and respond to all changes with the same.

In front of this shrewd and wise emperor, such a bad idea as No.30 Seven Strategies, I don’t want to think about it, and I can’t help laughing out... "Hate it?" I don't know when I put down the scroll in my hand and stared at me with piercing eyes.

I lowered my eyes slightly, "No", "Oh, why?" Kangxi leaned back on the chair relaxedly. Although I lowered my head, I could still feel that gaze piercing through me like a sharp sword.I took a low breath, "There is nothing to hate, the most important thing is that people can live."

"Oh..." Kangxi gave a long answer, and the room became quiet again. The pressure of silence was like a sandbag soaked in water, pressing on my heart, and my hands trembled uncontrollably. He clenched his fist.

"In the past few years, Yinxiang's body has survived well." Kangxi said lightly as if talking to himself, "I spared your life in vain." My heart trembled suddenly, and I opened my eyes wide. Xiang Youran looked at the emperor outside the window.An indescribable feeling of wanting to cry loudly and screaming in anger surged up. So this is the real reason why he let me survive...

I have always known that the emperor is ruthless, but when this kind of ruthlessness falls on me, the feeling of grief and indignation cannot be expressed by anger, fear, shouting or crying.

Emperor Kangxi obviously ignored the magma-like emotions in my heart, "You said that they are both my sons, with the same palms and backs, and you shouldn't keep whoever you keep and give up whoever you are." The sunlight outside the window clearly shone on Kangxi. On the emperor's gray temples, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be filled with exhaustion. I was stunned, and my heart was tumbling with various emotions and quickly cooled down.

I seem to grasp something in my heart. It seems that the purpose of the emperor's coming today is not to want my life, otherwise he would not have come at all. Does he need an explanation for killing people?That's why... Could it be, a thought flashed through my mind like a lightning strike.

I stared at Emperor Kangxi in a daze, could it be that he... "Old Shisan is like his mother-in-law, he is a very emotional person. Everyone says that he is full of affection, hum, affection." The emperor turned his head, his gaze Like a knife like a sword, "You are a rare woman, but no matter how rare, I can't let you ruin my two sons."

I couldn't help but took a step back, clutching my chest tightly, is this what he was going to tell me today.Seeing my pale face, the emperor's eyes flashed, he turned his head and muttered, "At that time, you were willing to give up your life for the old thirteen..." He turned his head, "What about now?"
"Same", I answered without hesitation, what I said was the truth, what's more, I have always hidden a thought in my heart, if this is the case, maybe everything will be over, this is just a full-fledged It's just a sweet and helpless dream.

The emperor paused for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly, "What if he and the fourth elder brother can only save one?"... My heart felt as if someone had punched me hard, and my tears were instantly unstoppable Eye sockets overflowed, and I really asked this question. When the fourteenth elder brother asked me this question, I knew that sooner or later this question would become a doom.

I stubbornly didn't want to let the tears fall. Although my eyes were blurred with tears, I still stared at Emperor Kangxi firmly. I heard my voice as clear as an endorsement, "Yinxiang", there is only one answer, isn't it, my heart I kept twitching, if I didn't say that, I would have killed three people, and I swore a long time ago that I would make one person happy, and for the other...

"Really?" Kangxi replied lightly, "Yes" I knelt down slowly, "Si Ye is very good to me, but I didn't do it because of this." I paused, "It's because he treats Yin Xiang Well, to Yinxiang is a real brotherhood, which is normal in common people's homes, but it is so rare here... So I respect him sincerely, respect him... like a brother, it's just like this"... I Said these words seriously.

Emperor Kangxi didn't say anything, just stared at me thoughtfully, watching his leisurely expression, suppressing all kinds of emotions since just now, slapping my chest like a sea tide.My mind became hot, and I blurted out, "Actually, this is normal. Everyone is selfish. When something happens, the first person I think of is the person I love the most." I raised my eyes and looked at Kangxi, "Don't say It's the fourth master, even if you and Yinxiang have an accident together, I will only choose Yinxiang."

Kangxi was slightly startled, squinted his eyes and looked at me, I twitched the corners of my mouth lightly, "It's not about ethics, it's just human nature, isn't it?" Sitting paralyzed on his calf, everything that should be said has been said, and he can do whatever he wants.

The room was quiet, except for my occasional low breathing, "haha" Emperor Kangxi laughed out loud, I shivered, and lowered my head even more, "It's human nature, hum, well said."There was a sound of footsteps, a pair of suede boots slowly walked over, and stood in front of me, I clenched my fists secretly.

The sound of clothes and shoes made the emperor half-bend his waist, and his bright yellow purse was shaking slightly in front of my eyes. He whispered in my ear, "Don't forget what you said today", I couldn't help but flinch. Looking at him, he slowly raised his body, turned around and took two steps aside, suddenly raised his voice, "Li Dequan", "The servant is here" Li Dequan outside the room responded, lifted the curtain and walked in, bowing his hands solemnly .

"Go, ask Brother Thirteen to come here," Kangxi ordered in a low voice, "Yes", Li Dequan slapped a thousand children, bowed and retreated.Emperor Kangxi turned his head and walked to the back of the book case. My heart felt hot and cold. He asked Yinxiang to come over, did he say that this level was over.

"Get up" Kangxi said casually, I was taken aback, "Ah, yes, thank you, Your Majesty", I stood up staggeringly with my hands, I don't know what kind of Yinxiang he is when I meet him expression...

Kangxi picked up the scroll again, looked at it twice, saw me looking at the door, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to the outside, "Fourth, come in first"...
