It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 189

When the death knell sounded, Yinzhen and Zhou Ting were at a loss to respond. They both knew that Kangxi was still alive. Although the old man looked weak recently, no one thought about it.

The other courtiers and elder brothers had already thought of a way out, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.I thought that the old man had survived the great heat and it was winter, but who knew that the genius would cool down and the pain would disappear, so he just left like this.

The old man left without leaving a word, and the chaos turned into a pot of porridge. The prince just faded out of the courtiers' sight, but was pushed to the front again.

Regardless of others, the Tong family is the first to agree. Others don't understand how the prince fell, but they themselves know it well. If the prince returns to the throne at this time, then there is no way for the Tong family to survive. ?At this time, I don't care about holding the eighth elder brother to the throne, as long as it is not the prince, whoever wins will not worry about my life.

If the elder brothers who are adults holding the flag say that they are not alive, then there really are no ones. For example, the third elder brother, if the old man really didn't leave a word, he is now the oldest prince, so he will naturally have a contender; Another example is the eighth elder brother, who always cared about the big position. Although he has been suppressed by the old man for so many years, there are also loyal nine and ten elder brothers by his side.

Everyone has their own thoughts, Kangxi's funeral was not the first thing they arranged, several people confronted each other openly and secretly in front of Kangxi's remains, it was Yinzhen who woke up from the shock and said calmly: "Khan Ama Da Containment is important, and it should be passed on in all provinces and regions, and the rest will be discussed later.”

The brothers were silent, and rarely blushed. It is not yet the time when swords were facing each other in the previous life. Everyone maintained their face. The argument just now seemed a bit out of face. They looked at each other and there was no objection.

Yinzhen has been infiltrating since seven or eight years ago. If anyone can compete with him, he will be the emperor for nothing. After he finished speaking, he ordered Su Peisheng to go to Dongsan School to teach some brothers who were going to come to attend classes. Let's talk about it once and tell them to stay in the room honestly today.

The former dynasty was in chaos, the rear palace was even more chaotic, those with sons were in fear, those without sons were even more restless, everyone flocked to the front of Ningshou Palace, but the empress dowager lost her anger when she heard the death knell, if the maids around her were not killed Choking Renzhong, Xu just followed Kangxi.

The empress dowager became ill, not only could she not recognize people, but she even started talking nonsense. The hours of waking up every day were limited, and when she was able to speak, she could not leave Kangxi with three sentences. She took the maid's hand and asked why Kangxi didn't come today. Say hello to her.

The four concubines and concubine Tong were naturally in the room, and Zhou Ting also rushed into the palace immediately. She glanced at the sad-faced young concubines and the heads of the palaces who had deep meanings.

The master is dead, who can take that seat?
Concubine Hui knew that there was no hope, and she also knew that no matter who took the position, she would have to support her. As for the eighth child, his mother-in-law managed to become a concubine with great difficulty, and he was ill for more than half of the year. Just say it's not good, maybe I will go with the Long Live Lord, whether he can climb it or not, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't worry if I sit still.

Concubine Yi is still pregnant with her second son, Brother Nine has always worn the same pair of pants with Brother Eight, who doesn't know that Brother Eight is so careful?Every mother hopes that her son will be peaceful. Knowing that Brother Jiu is hopeless, she doesn't want him to go from Long. Even without Cong Long's credit, he is also the son of Long Live Lord, the righteous Ai Xinjueluo .If the treasure is wrongly pressed, the honor and disgrace of the family will be over.

Concubine Rong thinks more, her third elder brother is now the oldest son of the old man outside, and the first two have fallen, so it should be the third elder brother's turn in the ranking according to age.She thought so in her heart, and glanced around, looking forward to it.

Concubine De lowered her eyes and twirled the beads, her face was motionless, but her heart was burning like fire.The old man also revealed a few words to her before he was alive, praising Yinzhen for a while, and Hongzhao for a while. If she said that she never thought about it before, she slowly started to think about it after the prince fell.

Who knew that Lord Long Live left so suddenly, without that oracle, those things would have become empty talk, Concubine De couldn't calm down after reciting the mantra of purifying her heart over and over again, she gritted her teeth and refused to mention it, at this time But don't go over there.

Concubine Tong has no children, and she is even more afraid that the new emperor will send the empress dowager to the North Palace Garden if the empress dowager dies. At this time, she has no time to think about who will be the emperor.

I hope the Empress Dowager will not just die like this, please Tang Wenyao is so busy, I have been a daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and I haven’t talked to the Empress Dowager as much in the past three days, and I have to recite Amitabha Buddha thousands of times a day I just hope that the empress dowager can wake up so that she can rely on her in the future.

Concubine Tong is really meticulous, but no matter how meticulous she is, she can't stand the empress dowager's age. She has never counted on her husband in this life. It is so easy to have a filial son who is still ahead of her. The elderly can't bear it the most. The most important thing is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. Kangxi is not young, but the empress dowager feels that she has lived too long. These days, she occasionally cried when she was sober.

After Kangxi's death, she lost her heart and soul, her mind was confused, her speech could not be smooth, and she had the symptoms of apoplexy in panic.Half of her body was paralyzed and unconscious, the corners of her mouth were drooling, and it was impossible to ask her to take charge of the overall situation.

The empress dowager couldn't handle the matter, and the quarrel became more lively. Yinzhen had been in business for a long time, and more than half of them supported him in the open and in the dark, but the matter was not so easy to handle.

In the previous life, he held the will and asked people to falsely usurp the throne. The brothers used this as an excuse, and none of them were willing to submit to him, even his own younger brother was unwilling to be subordinate to him.The current situation is even worse than it was then. Apart from the ten and thirty-four standing up for him, if he wants to be justified, he can only hope that the empress dowager will suddenly wake up and make an order.

All the concubines understand this truth, these days the palace restrictions have been loosened, brothers often go to the harem to see their own mother-in-law, without exception they ask their mother-in-law to guard in Ningshou Palace.The empress dowager is getting old, if there is something good or bad, she must at least pick out an ambiguous sentence.

Zhou Ting formed a group of her own, and the sisters-in-law also became tense, one stared at the other, and no one dared to leave the front hall, for fear of causing trouble to others at that moment.

Concubine Liang may not be able to squeeze in among the five even if she is in good health, let alone she was lying on the bed crookedly, and when she heard that Kangxi was gone, she almost went with her, and Yinhu had to take care of the big one again. He had to take care of his own mother again, and at this critical moment, his son-in-law was actually sick.

Yiwei couldn't let go of her husband and her son, and she lost weight all her life. These people in Ningshou Palace don't look like human beings. Their plain clothes and silver ornaments set off their pale faces, and their words and smiles are full of meaning. , Back and forth non-stop.

Zhou Ting waited for a few days to think of another way. After the empress dowager had a stroke, no one of the younger generation came to see her. The big girl and the second girl didn't mention it at home, so Hongzhao just passed a few palace gates. After her birthday, she would be seven years old, and the empress dowager didn't suffer from an infectious disease, so calling her to show her face in front of her made her appear filial.

She brought people over before asking Concubine Tong for instructions. Concubine De knew it well, and covered her mouth with a veil when she heard her say this: "It's hard for you to be thoughtful, the old man is sick, and there is a child who told her to relax It's good to be relaxed."

Sanfujin didn't expect that there was no suitable child in Bafujin's family, so Zhou Ting took the initiative.Although the words were silent, the smile on his face was ugly. At this juncture, who would pretend to be polite, Sanfujin immediately asked the girl next to him to go to Dongsan to call Hongsheng. After all, it was too late, Hongzhao was already lying in front of the empress dowager's bed It's called "Mother Wuku", and the people from Sanfujin haven't reached Dongsan Institute yet.

Zhou Ting raised her face, and Hongzhao provoked the big drama by herself. The empress dowager would wake up for a little while at this point every day, and whether she was conscious or not was a rule.

Xu Shihongzhao was lucky, he just showed his face, the empress dowager called out his name with trembling lips, the several empresses looked at each other, Concubine Rong stood up, and with a smile, she was about to go over and talk to him .

Everyone knows that the empress dowager is willing to go to whomever she likes in her heart. At this time, the empress dowager can't be reminded of how much she likes the children of the fourth elder brother's family.
Only Concubine Hui sat still, Concubine Yi stood up, and Concubine De moved her legs before she could speak. Hongzhao had already crawled to the Empress Dowager's side. He was used to seeing Zhou Ting take care of others at home. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, he imitated her and gently stroked the back of the Empress Dowager's hand, blowing lightly, and said in a low voice: "Take the medicine and you will be fine."

The empress dowager smiled with her mouth crooked, she couldn't move half of her body, it was scary to smile like this, but Hongzhao took out the handkerchief he was carrying with him and wiped the saliva from the corner of the empress dowager's mouth, this action touched Concubine Tong's heart With a heart, she stroked Hongzhao's head lovingly, and praised: "Our Hongzhao is really a good boy with filial piety."

As soon as the word "filial piety" was uttered, the empress dowager immediately thought of Kangxi. She moved her lips for a long time but couldn't speak clearly, tremblingly raised her moving hand and nodded for a long time. No one in the room knew her. What was ordered? In the end, Concubine Tong stepped forward and found a box under the old lady's pillow.

As soon as the brocade box came out, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Everyone knew what was inside. Zhou Ting's heart was pounding, and Concubine Tong was even more frightened. She tried to open it with trembling hands, but bit her lips again: "Why don't you please open it?" The prince is here, let us all be a witness."

Kangxi was really concealed, he didn't make a crown prince first, but he drafted the imperial decree when he was seriously ill, and handed it over to the old lady when the empress dowager went to visit him. People will spread the news, even the empress dowager has never seen what is written in it.

Apart from the elder brothers, several ministers also arrived at the Ningshou Palace together, the Fujins hid behind, and Concubine Tong delivered the box in full view.

The voices outside could not be heard clearly. The women pursed their lips tightly, and their nails were firmly pinched into their flesh. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. land.

Zhou Ting looked out through the stained glass screen at the empress dowager's place, and couldn't see which one was Yinzhen, but when all the others had kneeled down and only one person stood still in the crowd, she His vision became clear all of a sudden, and the last one standing was Yinzhen.

Feeling ups and downs, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yinzhen felt her gaze, looked sideways at the screen, he couldn't see who was standing inside, but he knew that his wife and son were inside, witnessing this moment.

The two couldn't see each other's eyebrows, but they both knew that the other was looking at them. Zhou Ting held his son's hand tightly, and Hongzhao raised his face and said, "I am the emperor now?"

Zhou Ting didn't respond to him, the Fujin standing behind the screen, starting from Yining Huirong, fell to the ground one by one, one outside and one inside, even if they saw each other's eyes clearly, they all faced each other. laugh.
