Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 277
In the evening, Haifeng didn't wait for Duobu to come home, but the imperial guards came to the door.

"Good luck to the fourth princess. Following the emperor's instructions, I have come to welcome the fifth princess back to the palace."

"Oh, that's great. I'm worried about what to do."

Zhang Shun, who entered the palace with Duobu and the imperial guards, stood behind the crowd and winked.

Haifeng excused himself to call the fifth princess and walked away. Zhang Shun understood and immediately followed.

When they arrived at a secluded place, Haifeng began to question him carefully.

“What did Khan Amma say?”

"The servant doesn't have the dignity to enter the South Study Room, and even the master can't get in. But since the master has become the royal steward, he always has a way. At first, the emperor was not happy about his master deceiving Shun Anyan. Uncle Tong Guo helped. I tried to plead with you and said that the master was also worried about my sister, so the emperor said, then forget it."

"Forget it? The fifth princess is going to be seated in this car."

"No, no, it's my fault that the slave is not articulate. It's not that. Forget it. The Emperor doesn't care about you helping the Fifth Princess and Shun Anyan to arrange a meeting. Uncle Tong Guo said that there will be discussions outside about whether to move the wedding date forward. The Emperor He didn't say anything, but the master said that the emperor agreed. As for catching the murderer, Admiral Jiumen didn't even enter Qianqing Palace. Seeing this, the emperor doesn't intend to ask him to take charge of the investigation. "

As Zhang Shun and Liang Jiugong, they could only inquire about this. It seemed that the situation was serious.

"Go and have a rest. We might have to work hard tonight. It's been a hard two days, so I need you to bear with me."

"Oh, if the master says this, what will happen to the slaves?"

After Zhang Shun left, Haifeng thought about it and finally sent Shutai to invite Zhong Jihai.

"I won't say those polite words. Are you willing to accompany the fifth sister to the palace to stay for a few days?"

Zhong Jihai didn't care, he just felt that Haifeng was too worried.

"She lives in the palace, are you still afraid of someone plotting against her?"

"Yes. I'm just afraid."

Every time Haifeng thinks of that incident, he feels lingering fear.

It was this incident that made her no longer have any illusions about Kangxi.

"I originally had a younger sister, who, like the fifth princess, was born to Concubine De, and she only lived to be 11 years old. Although she is not as smart and beautiful as the fifth princess, she is pretty good among the princesses. Three years ago , Khan Amma goes to Junggar.”

Zhong Jihai's face was obviously a little uncomfortable, so Haifeng changed his explanation.

"He was not in the capital at the time. My sister's wet nurse gave her some rotten food, and she had diarrhea for two days, and then she left."

"Do you suspect that she was killed?"

"I have no evidence and no one can doubt it. What I want to tell you is that I gave Khan Amma a secret code and asked for a thorough investigation. But he refused and only accused the wet nurse and her family."

"Why? Isn't he your Ama? Isn't he sad when his daughter dies?"

Haifeng didn't answer.

Zhong Jihai understood.

The emperor who lives in the Forbidden City is really not sad.

Her Abu Galdan died of illness, and the Qing emperor had won a great victory and had all the land in Mobei. There was no time to worry about a daughter.

At that time, Eji was the only one who cared about whether she had enough food and clothing.

Abu only thinks about how to marry her off as soon as possible in exchange for a piece of nomadic land.

If she died accidentally, Abu, I'm afraid not a single tear would fall.

It's not that I can't check, I just don't care.

"I'm going to pack my bags and go to the palace to accompany the fifth princess."

After Zhong Jihai left, Haifeng was wrapped in complicated emotions and fell onto the bed, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

If there were some personal reasons for her death in the previous life, this little princess was a completely innocent victim.

Kangxi's indifference caused the entire Forbidden City to remain silent about her death.

Concubine De is really smart.

In those palace-fighting TV dramas that Haifeng had watched before, the mother, as a concubine, would become disheartened once she lost her children, and would ignore the emperor, and then be severely slapped in the face by the cold treatment after falling out of favor. He ran to the emperor and tried to find a way to regain his favor.

A person with foresight and foresight, like a concubine, will skip these twists and turns.

She knocked out her teeth and swallowed it, pretending to be nothing, smiling when she needed to, and dressing up when she needed to.When Kangxi returned from the victory in Junggar, what he saw was the smiling face of Concubine De, and he felt a little guilty. He often turned over her name and summoned his attendants to comfort her.

Although it was painful for Concubine De to lose her daughter, she still had two children to take care of, the fifth princess and the fourteenth prince. She knew that she must not lose the emperor's favor and must remain standing in the harem.

Only in front of Haifeng did she cry happily once.

After crying, it’s over.

This kind of character is worthy of the status of Queen Mother.

"What are you thinking about? You didn't pay any attention to me when I came in."

Haifeng was suddenly brought back to reality. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Duobu who was back.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost in thought. Oh, I have to go and see my fifth sister off."

Duobu reached out and pulled Haifeng back, pressed him on the bed, and lay down to rest.

"Fifth sister is coming in. I saw that you looked wrong, so I sent her and Zhong Jihai out. Cheer up. Listen to what I learned in Qianqing Palace."

"it is good."

"What Khan Ama means is that it is necessary to check, but it cannot make too much noise. You don't know it yet, but when we went out, we were so grand that the news has spread all over the capital. It is said that the fifth princess sneaked out. , secretly meeting Shun Anyan, whatever. If this case is investigated with more fanfare, it will be more solid."

"Master, who do you doubt?"

"Let's talk together."

Duobu and Haifeng had a clear understanding of each other, and at the same time they stretched out their right thumbs, alluding to the eldest brother.

Li Guangdi's governorship of Zhili did not fall from the sky.

Haifeng wanted him to do it, because with Chen Menglei in hand, he was not afraid of being duplicitous.Pulling Li Guangdi out of the princeling camp can greatly weaken the power of the princelings.

Tong Guowei played a big role here.

It would make sense if the eldest brother noticed the changes in the Tong family and wanted to take revenge.

But why didn't he take action against Shun Anyan, but instead pointed at the fifth princess?

After the couple looked at each other for a long time, they reached out their right hands in tacit understanding.

This time, it's not just the thumb, but also the index finger.

"Yes, if it were him, this would make sense."

Haifeng murmured to himself and retracted his hands into his sleeves.

The eldest brother is cruel, but his thoughts are always straightforward.Maybe Kangxi also saw it, so he was given the title "Zhi".

The whole plan is so shrouded in fog that it's hard to figure out the motives behind it.

Only the eighth elder brother can hide in the shadow of the eldest elder brother and set up such a tortuous plot.

The target is not the fifth princess, but her, the fourth princess.

With Eighth Prince's mind, if he knew about the tryst arrangements from Shun Anyan, he could easily guess that the fourth princess would never allow her own sister, a royal princess, to do such an outrageous thing.

But for such a confidential matter, you can't just find someone to take over.

If Zhong Jihai hadn't appeared this year, Haifeng would have sent either Axiang or Shutai.

Whichever one of these two broke, Haifeng was heartbroken and would never give up. He must find the murderer.

But in the eyes of others, for her to be an insignificant maid and cause trouble in the Forbidden City was tantamount to losing her mind and going crazy.

"Good step, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Feng'er, the eighth elder brother sent the ninth younger brother here to lure you to think of the eldest elder brother or the prince. When you two start fighting, he can reap the benefits."

"More than that. I was so bold that I caused the fifth sister's reputation to be damaged; the eldest brother and the prince did not consider the brotherhood and killed the sisters. Maybe we will all be despised by Khan Amma. Let a group of children who do not let Khan Amma worry are set off , when the time comes, shouldn’t we reveal him? The rectification of officialdom is about to be effective, and the most important finishing step is left. I was squeezed out by Khan Ama, and he is probably the one who took the lead. Such a man who wins over the ministers and is in Khan Ama How could Lao Ba pass up the opportunity to show his face in front of Ma?"

After analyzing the matter to this point, Haifeng can basically conclude that the person in charge is the eighth prince.

But what's the use of this?

There is no evidence at all.

Since Eighth Prince dares to take action, he is sure that he will not be caught at all.

Even if something unexpected happens, he can throw the eldest brother out to block the gun. Maybe the ninth brother will happily use the illusion he saw to serve as a witness for him. "Bago is kind-hearted and asked me to report the news to Fourth Sister. Otherwise, Fifth Sister will have to get into trouble."

Thinking of Brother Ninth, Haifeng couldn't help but hesitate.

If I accidentally hurt him, I would not be able to explain it to my aunt, Concubine Yi.

"Dobu, can't I just endure it?"

"Feng'er, why don't you try and use the seventh brother to force the eighth brother out."

This guidance helped Haifeng find a breakthrough point in his thinking.

"That's right. How much money and thought has Lao Ba spent? If these arrangements end up being used as someone else's wedding dress, how can he be willing to do so? He will definitely make a mistake while busy and expose his flaws!"

"Without further ado, I'll go find my seventh brother."

After Duobu set off, Haifeng walked around the room excitedly, his brain cells working crazily.

She wanted to take this opportunity to get the eighth prince out of the race in Kowloon early; not only that, she also wanted to beat the eldest prince and the prince in succession.

Three birds with one stone.

Haifeng himself felt a little disgusted with his talkative state. Sometimes he was writing and drawing in front of the desk, and sometimes he was mumbling and quickly rattling off a series of names of people who could be used.

However, when she finished thinking, Duobu still didn't return, which made Haifeng worry.

Could it be that with the husband's skill, he could be plotted against?
When the hands of the grandfather clock crossed twelve o'clock, Duobu came back with his seventh brother, a cold and angry man.

"Tell him yourself. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore and I'm going to beat him."

Duobu angrily threw away his hands and left, leaving the seventh brother, who was full of shame, standing in the reception room, saying nothing.

What else can't Haifeng understand about this situation?
"What, you don't want to? You don't want to help the fourth sister to help the fifth princess vent her anger?"

"Fourth sister, I, I can't do anything to my brothers."

Hai Feng could clearly hear the sound of blue veins popping up on his forehead.

What was flowing rapidly inside was her hot blood.

Quickly, rush to the brain.

"Your brother-in-law, let me make it clear to you. The eighth prince will kill women who may be Shutai without mercy."

"The fourth sister has no evidence, how can we conclude that the eighth brother is the mastermind?"

"I asked you to help me find evidence."

"That's enough! Fourth sister, I think this is wrong!"

The seventh elder brother held his head in pain and squatted on the ground.

"The fourth sister wants to be the princess of the country. Didn't the second brother agree? He is the eldest son and should have inherited the throne! As long as the eldest brother is willing to find his way back and give up these overt and secret fights, can't we be a family in peace and harmony? ,Then."

"Shut up. Did Brother Ba tell you this?"

Haifeng tried her best to restrain herself, not allowing her mind to be immersed in it, and calculating the cost she had sunk in the seventh prince.

What is the use?

Just spilled milk.

Even if you cry, it will not automatically return to the cup.

"Aixinjueluo Yinyou, listen to me. If you help, I will mention you in front of Khan Amma; if you don't want to help, I will mention you the same way. If you are so ungrateful and ready to expose me in front of Lao Ba, you Just go. Get out. Get out of the princess’s house. Dirty my house.”

The seventh elder brother has never seen the fourth sister, who is always kind and cheerful, be so cold and utter evil words.

He was in a trance, and subconsciously obeyed and walked out the door. When he opened the door, he saw Shutai.

She had obviously been standing there for a while, and the tears oozing out of her eyes turned into the most exquisite frost flowers on the autumn night.

"how do you"

Brother Qi wanted to reach out and help her wipe her eyes, but Shutai got angry and pushed his hand away.

"Why is Master Qi so disrespectful? Who is this slave, and who are you? How could you do anything to me?"

Haifeng's angry voice came from deep in the room.

"Still not leaving? Do you really think that the princess's mansion is your home for my frivolous personal maid in the middle of the night?"

The seventh elder brother had no choice but to wrap up his cloak and trot out.

Shutai wiped his eyes clean and went in to take care of Haifeng.

"Master, please give me a cup of hot tea."

"No. If you think about it, I will find you a well-matched family and you can become the main wife. It would be better if there are no parents-in-law in the family. You don't have to be angry and you can be the master of your own family."

"Slaves listen to their masters."

"I'm going to see my brother-in-law."

"Master is in his room. Little Princess is also over there."

Step by step, Haifeng walked resolutely through the lightless night and walked to Duobu's house.

The door was unlocked, leaving a gap.

Warm, hot air from the charcoal fire hit my face.

Obviously, Duobu knew that his wife needed him, so he kept the door open.

Haifeng calmly stepped across the threshold and walked in.

Dobu was asleep on the bed, face inside.

However, Haifeng could tell that the ups and downs of his breathing were not what he looked like when he was sleeping.

They have been together for too long, and the illusion cannot be hidden from each other.

Frankness is the best answer.

"Come here quickly and hold me tight."

Duobu was crying a little when he heard her, and he rushed to Haifeng in two or three strides.

The intensity of the hug was suffocating.

"Don't worry, there is always a way."

"I'm not anxious, I'm angry. I hate myself for being so stupid and putting my treasure on Lao Qi."

Just like the fourth elder brother's policy of raising honest banks did not make a splash in history, the seventh elder brother had no sense of presence in the history of Kowloon's inheritance, and there must be corresponding reasons.

He's just not that stuff.

There is no ambition, and kindness is overflowing.

The rewards he received from him were not as good as those from Zhong Jihai.

"Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain. I have learned something. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else."

"you mean"

"I want to ascend the throne, I want to be the emperor. I have worked so hard and even sacrificed time with my daughter. Why should I give the resources I got to my brothers? If I want to use them, I will use them on myself! If I lose, As a family of three, we can take these loyal servants with us and take refuge in the Rakshasa Kingdom, or we may have our heads in different places, anyway, it’s better than regretting it!”

Haifeng had enough crying in Duobu's arms, wiped away her tears, and walked over to see her daughter.

A child over one year old has no idea of ​​his parents' sorrow. His cheeks are pink, he sleeps soundly, and his mouth is drooling.

"Dobb, I can't wait for you. I want to name her."

"What's it called?"

"Lian."

"The lotus of the lotus?"

"No."

Haifeng wrote this word in Duobu's hand with great patience, stroke by stroke.

"It is a vessel used for sacrifices in the ancestral temple. I want our daughter to be the first female prince to inherit the ancestral temple in the history books!"
