My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 42 Sending Yongzheng to Changchun Garden

When Yongzheng saw the bloodstained handkerchief, he naturally understood everything.

Hongli saw that his eyes first opened wide, with a bright light dancing in them, and then he took a few steps back in front of him and Shushen, and choked with sobs in a low voice: "Khan Ama!"

Hongli also stood up with a sad look on his face.

"Royal sister, how is Khan Mafa now?"

Hongli then asked Shushen a question.

Shu Shen shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's very bad. I'm breathing in less than I'm breathing out, and my complexion is getting more and more terrible! If it gets any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize people."

"I came here because I wanted to see you and I missed you. Khan Mafa asked me to come."

After hearing this, Yongzheng nodded gratefully to his niece and said, "Take Hongli to see Fu Jin first. I'll ask Fu Jin to prepare some food for you."

Shu Shen hummed, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle!"

Yongzheng, with a worried look on his face, smiled slightly and left.

Hongli, Shushen and others bowed and saw him off.

After Yongzheng left, Shushen asked Hongli, "Why did Fourth Uncle suddenly appear?"

"Maybe he already knows that you're here."

Hongli replied.

Princess Shushen nodded solemnly, stroked her chest, and then said to Hongli, "I remember what you said in the past, and I think you are right. If Fourth Uncle can take the throne, it will be more suitable for me than for my father and my brother to become emperor themselves!"

"So, when Khanmafa asked me why I was crying, I told him that I was crying because I missed him, my younger brother. This gave me the opportunity to tell my uncle about Khanmafa's current situation."

"Who would have thought that Khan Mafa would be so understanding and tactful as to have someone send me directly to Prince Yong's Mansion to see you."

"It can be seen that Khan Mafa has long been interested in Fourth Uncle!"

Princess Shushen continued at this time.

Hongli smiled slightly and said, "I am lucky today. Thanks to my sister, I can go to Fu Jin's place and have a good meal."

"Your blessings are more than just this."

Princess Shushen also smiled.

Not long after, the Fourth Lady sent someone to pick up Hongli and Princess Shushen.

And because Hongshi saw Princess Shushen suddenly come to Prince Yong's Mansion, he hurried out to inform the Eighth Brother of the situation.

But just as Hongshi was leaving, Su Peisheng suddenly stopped him and said, "The Fourth Master wants you to go to the study."

Hongshi had no choice but to go to Yongzheng's study with Su Peisheng.

But Yongzheng was not here.

Hongshi asked Su Peisheng: "Where is my father?"

"The Fourth Master wants you to finish copying the Buddhist scriptures he gave you here. You are not allowed to leave his study without his permission. Meals will be brought to you by servants, and you will sleep here as well."

Su Peisheng replied.

Hongshi was shocked when he heard this.

"Why did Amma do this?"

"This, I don't know."

Su Peisheng decisively pretended to be stupid.

Hongshi clenched his fist with one hand and then his palm, striking each other, and paced around the room, muttering, "What is Father doing?"

"Brother, please copy the Buddhist scriptures."

Su Peisheng replied.

Hongshi looked impatient: "I don't have the mood to copy that stuff right now!"

……

……

"Haitang, I want to copy Buddhist scriptures and grind ink."

After Princess Shushen left, Hongli returned to Niohuru's courtyard, sat behind his desk, and prepared to continue copying Buddhist scriptures.

"Ugh!"

Haitang agreed and went to Hongli's side, pulled up her red sleeves and picked up the ink stick.

When Niohuru saw that Hongli really started to continue copying the Buddhist scriptures seriously, she couldn't help but smile. She found that her child was really patient.

As quiet as the entire Prince Yong's Mansion.

On the contrary, the Eighth Prince's Mansion next door was noisier than usual. Even in the middle of the night, hurried footsteps could be heard.

"Eighth Master, Princess Shushen left Changchun Garden and said that His Majesty allowed her to go see Hongli!"

"Eighth Master, I just received news that the Fourth Prince has not been seen since he was recalled!"

"Eighth Master, there is an imperial decree to the Infantry Commander's Office, sealing off all nine gates of the inner and outer cities and imposing martial law. No one is allowed to enter or leave the residences of princes and ministers even during the day. I can only ask Eighth Master to temporarily shelter me in the guest house tonight." At this time, the Eighth Prince's Mansion was brightly lit. Indeed, princes and ministers kept coming to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, ignoring the upcoming curfew and martial law, to report the news to the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and others.

Hongchun, who was also here, was already extremely upset. He couldn't help but look at Lao Ba and said, "Uncle Ba, it's impossible that Khan Mafa will die before he even sees my father come back."

Hongchun stopped talking here.

The ninth one just laughed secretly in his heart and asked the eighth one:

"Eighth brother, what do you think Fourth Brother is doing now?"

"That's what I'm worried about. Go and see why Hongshi hasn't come yet!"

"Shu Shen suddenly went to Fourth Brother's place. Could it be that she really just wanted to see Hongli?"

Lao Ba frowned, looking thoughtful, and simply ignored Hongchun's concerns.

Hongchun widened his eyes and clenched his fists in anger.

Lao Jiu replied: "I'll go right away!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't see Hongshi. Remember to find out if Fourth Brother followed Shushen out."

……

It is said that Shushen and Yongzheng came out in the same car, so outsiders could not see that Yongzheng had left the house.

Shushen was in the car at this time, looking into Yongzheng's eyes. The whole car was so quiet that one could hear the rustling of the wind outside.

"Fourth uncle, your niece forgot to tell you that before I left, Khan Mafa asked Twelfth uncle to take charge of the Bordered Yellow Banner."

Princess Shushen was the first to break the silence.

Yongzheng nodded without saying anything.

The Bordered Yellow Banner, the Plain Yellow Banner, and the Plain White Banner were the three upper banners of the emperor's personal guards.

The Upper Three Banners Guard Camp, which was composed of troops drawn from the Upper Three Banners, was the important force responsible for guarding the palace, not Longkodo's Infantry Commander's Office.

The military power of the guard camp of the upper three banners has always been commanded by the guard commander appointed by the commander-in-chief of the eight banners.

In addition to the guard camp in the palace, there is also a personal camp composed of guards who are responsible for the safety of the palace and the emperor.

The personal guard camp was commanded by the Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard, and two Grand Ministers of the Imperial Guard took turns on duty.

Therefore, if Yongzheng really wanted to usurp the throne, he could not just bribe Longkodo alone. He needed to bribe the commander of the guards appointed by the commander-in-chief of the upper three banners and the two ministers of the imperial guards who were on duty that night.

This is very difficult.

Yongzheng also knew what it meant that the twelfth prince Yinlu was now in charge of the Bordered Yellow Banner.

Because Yinlu was already the commander-in-chief of the Plain White Banner.

This means that two of the top three flags are in the hands of Old Twelve!
But since Yongzheng didn't say much, Princess Shushen couldn't help but curl her lips, folded her arms, and looked outside when the wind lifted the curtain of the car.

Outside, soldiers carrying lanterns from the Infantry Commander's Office were running around with heavy bows and rifles, setting up fences at the entrances of many alleys, making it impossible for anyone to get through. They even seized the carriages and sedan chairs of some officials.

But no one stopped her car.

Princess Shushen's imperial carriage arrived smoothly at the north gate of Changchun Garden.

Princess Shushen got off the car first.

Afterwards, Yongzheng also got out of the car.

But at this time, the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang and Longkodo suddenly appeared.

This surprised Princess Shushen greatly.

"Fourth brother!"

"Fourth Master!"

Yongzheng was not surprised, he just ordered: "Go see the Twelfth Master, he is also in charge of the Bordered Yellow Banner!"

Yinxiang and Longkodo looked at each other and then mounted their horses.

Here, Princess Shushen entered Changchun Garden.

But as an adult prince, Yongzheng could not enter casually. He could only kneel outside and hand over a sign to invite people into the garden and pay their respects.

"Your son, Yinzhen, requests an audience with the Emperor and wishes you well!"

Princess Shushen arrived at Qingxi Study, Kangxi's studio, and soon after, she saw Wei Zhu walk in and say, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Master has arrived at Changchun Garden to greet you!"

Liang Jiugong, who was here, looked at this scene in great astonishment, and also looked at Princess Shushen.

Princess Shushen didn't say much, just looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi seemed to have anticipated this and smiled: "Very good, just say that I am feeling better!"

"Whoo!"

Yongzheng did not leave after knowing this.
