Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

The Queen Mother did not return to her room until nearly dawn.

No matter how carefully he takes care of it, he is still an old man in his sixties. After staying up all night, it is obvious that he cannot stand up mentally.Haifeng and the fifth princess were given acupuncture and massage, and they didn't even bother to eat breakfast.

However, the Queen Mother was thinking about the Prince, and after taking a breath, she took Haifeng's hand and asked her to help check the situation.

"The emperor locked Suo'etu in the study and gave the prince two hours to decide what to do next. I was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and return to protect Suo'etu. After all, they are all blood relatives who have served him since childhood. If the prince is reluctant to let go , I don’t think it’s strange. It’s just that I think the emperor’s expression is not good, you don’t know. When we were in the capital, the emperor mentioned to me once that he wanted to depose the prince.”

"It's such a big deal to abolish the reserve."

"Well, when the emperor told me about it, I was shocked just like you. After he turned 50, his temperament changed a bit and he was always depressed. The number of times he came to pay me respects every month was increasing. . Just go ahead and say I asked you to go."

Haifeng asked the maids to come in to help with dressing up. The fifth princess packed several snacks without soup and handed them to Axiang.

"I just noticed something was wrong. Why don't you see Shu Tai?"

"The master left her to look after the house in Mobei. Didn't Lian Gege have some trouble and didn't come with her?"

The Queen Mother, who had been lying down, heard this and sat up again.

"Ask someone to go to the Forbidden City and bring back some good medicinal materials. My memory is not as good as before. When the fourth princess mentioned it two days ago, I thought about doing this. As soon as I got busy, I forgot about it again. ”

Haifeng happened to be thinking about sending a message to the capital, so he whispered a few instructions to the fifth princess before taking Axiang to the study.

The person in charge of guarding was indeed Gao Shiqi.

After Liang Jiugong was sacked, the person Kangxi trusted most now was Brother Zhuchuang, who was both a teacher and a friend.

Suo'etu in the room was scolding Gao Shiqi loudly, and his words were extremely vulgar.

Not only did he attack him personally, but he also brought his elderly mother and deceased wife along with him. He also cursed his son, saying that he would accomplish nothing and have no descendants.

However, Gao Shiqi didn't show any signs of anger and happily chatted with Hai Feng.

"Your Highness the Fourth Princess, you got up so early."

"The Queen Mother's decree, I dare not delay for a moment. How about Suo'etu?"

"That's what Your Highness heard. Mad dogs bite people randomly."

Haifeng discovered that the imperial guards guarding the entrance were all sculptured stone statues with sullen faces, as if they were deaf and blind. They could not hear Suo'etu's curses and could not see the princess coming to say hello. He knew that at this time, it was already The most critical moment has come.

Kangxi must have given them a death order. No one was allowed to have contact with Suo'etu, and no one was allowed to show mercy.

Under the pretense that the Queen Mother had something to ask, she invited Gao Shiqi to have a secret conversation in a secluded place.

"Prince refuses?"

"Yes. God bless the Fourth Princess. The prince is still grateful to Suo'etu. Suo'etu is a strong man. He is scolding me here just to make me angry and complain about him in front of the emperor. Please give me a quick reply. Die, so as not to implicate the prince. Has His Highness made up his mind on which side to stand?"

"Whoever has a greater chance of winning will be chosen by me. Why should I be rigid? Anyway, the garrison closest to here, the right guard and the tiger's mouth are all under my control. However, the crown prince's ascension to the throne is not only justified, but also better than Khan's. Ma is easy to deal with, but privately, I still hope that the prince can be strong."

"Then it depends on what His Highness told him."

Before Haifeng went to lobby the prince, he had one last doubt and needed to rely on Gao Shiqi's wisdom.

"Khan Amma will not hastily execute Suo'etu in Guihua City. This is what I estimate. Where is Bachelor Gao?"

"I think so too. If the emperor doesn't care about the prince and Queen Hesheli, doesn't he also care about the civil and military affairs of the dynasty? He is a good minister, and he doesn't leave it to the Yamen to discuss a few crimes and then kills him lightly. Isn't it the emperor? The style of his pro-government for decades. Originally, there has been a lot of discussion in the capital about starting an alchemy furnace."

"Okay. Have you got Suo'etu's confession?"

"How dare you see His Highness if you don't get it. I kept a copy when I drafted it."

Haifeng took it in his hand and read it twice at a glance.

Except for the murder of Queen Hesheli, which was not written on it, Suo'etu confessed to all the charges of bribery, clique, favoritism and other crimes over the years. "It says here that Sibeile is encouraged to find alchemists to refine the elixir, which implies that he would carefully prepare a golden elixir and add poison to it. Does Suo'etu also recognize it?"

"It doesn't matter whether a person who is about to die has one more sin or one less sin. In my humble opinion, the prince is the mastermind of this matter. After being the prince for more than 20 years, the emperor still doesn't have a single gray hair. The newly added Brother, he is younger than his own son, how can the prince not be impatient?"

"It would be nice if I could see Suo'etu before going to the prince's place."

"I don't think so. Not seeing you has its own benefits."

"Don't the problems all fall on me? That's so easy to say."

Hai Feng and Gao Shiqi discussed the future matters and helped A Xiang to go to the prince's residence.

The imperial guards were also densely deployed here, but since she had the name of the Queen Mother to bluff, she managed to meet the Prince successfully.

Kangxi only gave the prince two hours, that is, four hours to think about it.Counting from the time the Queen Mother returned, half of the time has passed.

The breakfast on the table was completely cold, not even a bite was touched.The prince looked pale and lay in bed, lost in thought.Haifeng shouted several times before he noticed someone came to see him.

"It's really hard on me, fourth sister. You can sit down by yourself, Khan Ama didn't even leave me a eunuch, and there's no tea here."

"It doesn't matter if there is tea or not. If there are no eunuchs, it's the same as calling my maid. Axiang, please help the prince to wash up."

A Xiang brought the face wash water to the bed. The prince stared at himself reflected in the water and laughed at himself bitterly.

"The days of being served by people have come to an end today. Fourth sister, do you still remember that more than ten years ago, Khan Ama hit me with a paperweight?"

"Brother, I really can't remember it even if I don't mention it. That year, it was also for the sake of asking for the Etu."

"Yes. At that time, the only one who dared to come see me and have dinner with me was my fourth sister. As a brother, with my virtues, I am really ashamed of myself. You are here to persuade me to listen to Khan Amma's idea and kill him Suo'etu?"

"Ma Ma has good intentions, brother, please don't get it wrong."

"No. I just realized it last night. Although the Queen Mother is not too close to our brothers and sisters in terms of blood, she loves the princes and princesses as her own grandchildren. She is afraid that I will be soft-hearted and afraid that I will be deposed. , and said a lot of heartfelt words of wisdom. Fourth sister, when I become a commoner and be imprisoned for life, don’t come back again. I’m afraid I’ll drag you down and be despised by Khan Amma.”

Haifeng signaled Axiang to take action, so Axiang poured hot water on the prince, causing the prince to scream.

The guards outside the door rushed in and were greatly relieved to find that it was just a small misunderstanding.

Haifeng sat on the chair, frowning and scolding Axiang.

"Yesterday I lost the gift I gave Khan Ama, and today I burned my brother the prince's hand. You girl is becoming more and more useless. Why are you still standing there? Go get some dry clothes and change them for your brother!"

Axiang cried and went to look for clothes in the cupboard. The guards felt that they were in an awkward situation if they stayed there, so they knelt down and went out anyway.The prince's arms and chest were covered with red burns, and there were also marks on his face.Haifeng took out the ointment that he had prepared earlier and applied it on him.

"Brother, my sister couldn't bear it. She watched you and sister Rong being imprisoned in the house until they died together. If you really don't want to kill Suo'etu, then take him and escape! Everything needs to be taken care of, and it's all on my sister. I sent people to the capital to bring Sister Rong and several children over."

The prince was so mesmerized that he didn't even feel any pain in the burned area. He grabbed Haifeng's arm and asked carefully.

"Fourth sister, why are you doing this! If Khan Amma knows about it, how can he bypass you?"

"I'm not afraid. Besides, Mama is there to help intercede. The seventh brother thinks the same way. When you go out, he will lead troops to pick you up. Go to Mobei and reach the border of Oros. Khan Mama may not be able to find you. . Or go east and take a boat out to sea. It doesn’t matter where you go, you must make a decision as soon as possible!”

"Can you escape?"

"Khan Amma has been looking for Prince Zhu San for 40 years. Where is he? Is he in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"

The prince was moved by what she said and hesitated to make up his mind, but Hai Feng did not allow him to think about it. He put away the medicine bottle, called Axiang and left.

"I'll call an imperial doctor over to treat the injuries on my brother's face. Knock him out and put on the imperial doctor's uniform. Then just wait and feel at ease."

For the rest, Haifeng arranged the plot of adding Huangpao.

If the prince doesn't want to create this rebellion then, he will have to create it!
