The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 587
After Zhang Lizi moved the charred elm box back there, he studied the situation for nearly a year.He touched every inch of the inside and outside of the box dozens of times, and carefully inspected the inner and outer layers of the box many times at night by lighting a candle, but he never found anything suspicious. Could it be that Was what Aunt Du told him true?There is nothing special about this box.

That night, he took another candle to study the box, and accidentally dropped the candle into the box. With a muffled sound of "dong~", Zhang Lizi's eyes suddenly lit up: this box has compartments. !
Excitedly, he found a pair of scissors to pry the compartment. The elm box was very strong. Although the inner wall was a little scorched, the box was not damaged at all.It took him nearly half an hour to carefully open the compartment.He was afraid that if he used too much force, the things hidden inside would be damaged.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, he carefully opened the partition.

On April [-]th, Hongzhou's concubine Fujin gave birth to a son, Concubine Yu was overjoyed, and gave a gift or two to everyone who was happy.Zhang Lizi took advantage of this opportunity this day, and was going to find his aunt Du Shi again.He was illiterate and did not understand the notes that were taken from the partition of the box.He took out a few sheets and wanted to give them to Mrs. Du to see how she could learn the secret on the note.

He didn't know that two eunuchs had been following him since he walked out of the House of Internal Affairs.

That Mrs. Du is a fine person, when he saw Zhang Lizi from a distance, he wanted to go to a hidden place to talk to him.But before Zhang Lizi followed, Mrs. Du's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly disappeared without a trace.

"This dead woman!" After Zhang Lizi raised his eyes and couldn't see Du's figure, he said that she was in a panic again, deliberately not seeing him, only spat in the direction where she disappeared, and walked back cursing in a circle .

Mrs. Du saw someone following Zhang Lizi just now, afraid of exposing herself, she hurried to the crowded place and hid.She looked at the two eunuchs who had been cautiously following Zhang Lizi, and felt a chill in her heart: It seems that he has been exposed, and he may not live long, so she must not have any contact with him in the future.

After the Guerjia family sent the box to Jingren Palace, the maid she placed in Jingren Palace happened to be on duty that night for Concubine Xi, so she heard her sleep talking at night, such as "Master Thirteen, you Why are you so stupid" and so on.Because of this, Mrs. Du suspected that Concubine Xi was having an affair with Prince Yi, so she arranged for someone to tell Zhang Lizi about it, so Zhang Lizi went to ask for the box.

It's just that after such a long time, she didn't see any news from Zhang Lizi, she just said that Zhang Lizi didn't find anything.She felt that it was time for her to tell those two court ladies that she should not break up with Zhang Lizi again, so as not to reveal her identity...

Zhang Lizi didn't expect that when he left the House of Internal Affairs, eunuchs would go looking for Su Peisheng.After Su Peisheng heard what he said, he immediately found Wei Changan in a hurry, and told Wei Changan what Zhang Lizi found out from a box.

"My lord, this...do you want to continue to investigate who he is conspiring with?" When Su Peisheng heard Wei Changan say that Zhang Lizi was not trustworthy, he was startled for a while.He single-handedly pulled out that plum. Although he was not his apprentice, he was more promising than the few eunuchs he had taught.Just like Qian Gui, he felt that he was worthless and thought he was sincerely avenging the Lord, but in the end he caused such a big disaster.

The people in this palace all hide their little thoughts, and few of them are really honest.

Wei Changan has always used his own experience to judge that there are people behind Zhang Lizi who are plotting wrongdoing, so he has been letting him act all the time, wanting to see who is the person who conspired with Zhang Lizi.It's just that he didn't expect that the people in this palace are much smarter than those servants in the hidden mansion back then. It's been more than a year, and he still hasn't found out who the other person is.

Wei Chang'an was silent, it seems that the plan now is to startle the snake.He intuitively felt that the thing that Li Zi found out of the box was very important, and he was afraid that something serious would happen if he let it go like this.

"Eunuch Su, you send someone to Zhang Lizi's house first, and search for that box." Wei Changan made a decisive decision and stopped waiting...

"Your majesty, the emperor invites you to the Wanchun Pavilion in the imperial garden."

Because of Hong En being carried out of the palace, Yan Hua has been in a bad mood.Every time she couldn't hear the children's laughter, she felt that the entire Jingren Palace was much empty.

It was the end of April now, and she knew that there were a few peach trees beside Wan Chunting who were in full bloom.Those peach trees bloomed relatively late, and when all the other peach blossoms in the imperial garden had failed, they began to vomit their pistils.

Yanhua didn't want to go there at first, but couldn't bear to ignore Yinzhen's kindness, so she left Jingren Palace listlessly.

In the past few days, he has been thinking of ways to make her happy, and she always suppresses the unhappiness in her heart and cooperates with an insincere face, which is really tiring.

She wanted to give herself some time to comfort herself, but he never let her be alone.In the past half a month, he let her stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day, but she was not in the mood to be with him, so he just hugged her to rest every night.He felt that she was ignoring him, but she really couldn't bring herself to make out with him, because she felt sad.

The roses outside the Wanchun Pavilion are very lively, red like fire, white like snow, yellow like gold, pink like clouds... colorful and charming, even more gorgeous than neon.

Yinzhen was standing behind the white jade railing in front of the pavilion admiring the flowers, when he saw her coming, he walked over with a smile on his face.

Yanhua took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, she already had a smiling face on her face: "Did the emperor ask the concubine to come here to enjoy the flowers?"

Yinzhen glanced at the flowers next to him, and said: "I want to give you a brighter morning for the Hongli family boy, and I want you to help me with the details. When the flowers bloom in spring, I have no time to enjoy the flowers. Now I follow the end of late spring. Take a look, but it's very good. Chanchan is willing to accompany me to enjoy it?"

Yanhua sighed helplessly, he knew that he was pitiful when he said that he would feel sorry for her if he caught her.

"I know, you say you don't blame me, but you still complain in your heart. The old twelve has a good temper and will definitely take good care of Hong En, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

As soon as Hongen was mentioned, Yanhua felt sad, she turned her eyes away and said: "I know that Twelfth Uncle can take good care of En'er, but Chenqi... Chenqie just can't bear him... I'm afraid he is here After staying outside for a long time, I don't remember my concubine..."

"Hey...then what do you want me to do? Withdraw that decree and bring Hong En close to the palace again?" But there has never been such a precedent. It was obvious that he had already adopted, but he regretted it not long after.

He just asked this softly helplessly, but Yanhua's heart trembled suddenly.Hey, blame her, being so sad, it's really embarrassing him.She secretly wiped away the tears from her eyes, and reached out to hold his hand: "The emperor has issued that imperial decree long ago, how can we go back on it? The emperor is a golden man. Let's stop talking about Hong En, okay? After a while Days later, the concubine will no longer be like this."

"Okay, you don't have to avoid me anymore." Yin Zhen suddenly softened his voice, and discussed with her like a child.

"Where are the concubines hiding from the emperor, don't they go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation every night?"

"Don't even let me touch it, what kind of servant is that?" He tightened his hand resentfully, his voice filled with grievances.

In fact, she really wanted to talk about him, he is an emperor, how could he like to guard an old woman like her who is already forty years old?If it were someone else, they would definitely prefer to let the nobles in the harem who are less than twenty promise to sleep with them.

But she just made up a few words in her heart, and didn't really say them out, otherwise he would say that she was tired of him again.In fact, he clings to her like this, which makes her feel very sweet.

"If you want to tell those ministers, they must not believe that the emperor looks like this in front of his concubines." Yanhua reached out and touched his face as a comfort, and looked up to see An Guiren in the distance. While visiting the garden in the distance, he dragged Yinzhen into the Wanchun Pavilion to sit down for a while.Look, she is actually quite stingy, and she doesn't want Mrs. An to disturb her time alone with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen just smiled, and let her make fun of herself: "I've already thought of a name for the boy Hongli and his wife gave birth to. It's called Yonglian, and the country will live in peace forever. How does Chanchan feel?"

Lian is a ritual vessel in the ancestral temple, implying the meaning of governing the country and maintaining the country.

Yanhua was slightly surprised when she heard this, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Yonglian?" She didn't know what Yinzhen's intention was, did she have some other purpose or simply remembered the name?
Yinzhen nodded, she looked so cute just now, he couldn't help holding her face with his hands: "I want to kiss you, okay?"

Yan Hua was startled, and looked into his eyes strangely, not understanding why he suddenly changed the subject.The corner of her mouth twitched helplessly, and she was a little speechless: "Zhen Lang is joking? I've been married to you for so long, when did you ask for my permission even for a kiss?"

"You haven't let me touch you recently, am I afraid of being rude to you?" He raised his lips slightly with a half-smile, making Yanhua feel very embarrassed, "Looking at the entire harem, only you dare to treat me right? "

Yanhua cleared her cough, turned away her eyes but had nowhere to place her gaze: "The emperor is being unreasonable again, obviously it was the emperor who said it, when there is no one else, the emperor is just Zhenlang, not the emperor. I respect and love Zhenlang , of course you can say no.”

"Hehehe..." He let out a muffled laugh, took her face in his hands and leaned forward to kiss her.His Chan Chan has become more interesting again.

Outside the Wanchun Pavilion, An Guiren saw Su Peisheng leading a group of people waiting outside the pavilion, he was overjoyed: "The emperor is also in the imperial garden."

Following her two little promises, upon hearing this, both of them felt happy, but they didn't dare to go forward, so they could only please An Gui and said: "The nobleman is going out today, it must be the blessing of the Buddha, tell the nobleman to let the nobleman go today." Let's have a small gathering with the emperor, the nobleman will definitely be able to sleep tonight."
