My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 43 It’s snowing, the capital is under martial law
The next day.

Towards evening.

Hongli was lying in Haitang's arms, and was using his right hand to playfully twist Haitang's black hair that fell like a waterfall in front of him.

Haitang didn't sleep, nor did she blow out the lights. Instead, she rubbed Hongli's right arm and smiled gently at him. Then she looked up at the light and shadow falling outside the window and said, "Master, it's snowing."

"Ok!"

Hongli took another look at the calendar.

It is confirmed that today is the 13th day of the 12th month in the 61st year of the Kangxi reign.

He didn't know what the current situation was in Changchun Garden, or whether Kangxi had passed away.

Ever since Princess Shushen came and left, there has been strict security outside, and people are not allowed to go out even during the day.

From princes and ministers to peddlers and porters, under the strict order of the Infantry Commander's Office, no one had the privilege to move around at will. Even those who were preparing for a wedding or attending a funeral were ordered to go home and wait for another day.

Therefore, the exchange of information was almost cut off.

Even the Eighth Prince's Mansion, which was adjacent to Prince Yong's Mansion and was always bustling, suddenly became quiet.

Hongli simply sat up.

Seeing this, Haitang looked at him and said, "Master?"

At this time, Niu Hulu also pulled back the bed curtains from the outside and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep anyway, so I'll just continue copying Buddhist scriptures."

"Princess, go to sleep."

Hongli said.

"Ok!"

Haitang agreed and put on her clothes. She dressed Hongli first, then walked to the table, took out her hairpin, picked up the wick, and then dripped water into the dry inkstone.

As soon as the ink stick fell and was rubbed, the clear water in the inkstone suddenly became turbid.

Princess Niu Hulu did not go to sleep. She got up from bed, put on her clothes, and took her needlework to sit beside Hongli.

Hongli glanced at her.

"Let me borrow some light to clear my eyes."

“Although it feels much quieter outside than usual, I can’t feel at peace in my heart.”

Niu Hulu said with a smile.

Hongli smiled slightly and said nothing more.

It is not surprising that everyone in Prince Yong's mansion was nervous at this time.

Because once the emperor is really changed, no matter who it is, the fate of everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion will change significantly.

This change is greater than the changes of who gets the opportunity to sleep with the emperor, or the changes of father, son and brothers getting promoted.

The light and shadows on the window are falling more and more densely.

The number of words in the Buddhist scriptures written by Hongli also increased.

suddenly!

The hurried sound of horse hooves seemed to appear outside the door. Niu Hulu put down her needlework, lifted the curtain herself and looked out.

"An imperial decree has been issued, summoning Eighth Prince Yinsi to the palace immediately!"

Hongli also stopped writing and heard a loud voice coming from not far away.

……

……

Yongzheng's study.

The barking of dogs still appeared in the bottomless darkness.

Hongshi, who was under house arrest here, became increasingly irritated.

The paper in front of him on which he had copied the Buddhist scriptures was still as white as the ground outside the house, without a single mark on it.

He himself did not write, but just clung to the window and asked Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng, where is my father?"

Su Peisheng replied: "I don't know!"

“You can’t possibly not know!”

"You little dog slave, don't think that just because my father trusts you, you can ignore me."

"You have to remember, no matter what the outcome is, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

"So, you must answer honestly!"

"Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to kill you!"

Hongshi lost his temper and started cursing Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng suppressed his anger and smiled: "Third brother, please calm down. This servant really doesn't know. The Fourth Master also doesn't like people around him asking questions that they shouldn't ask."

Hongshi suddenly changed his tone: "I beg you, Eunuch Su, Master Su, if you don't tell me where my father is, how can I concentrate on copying Buddhist scriptures here?"

"I really don't know."

"Then you can always tell me about Uncle Eight's situation, right?"

Hongshi asked again. Su Peisheng said with a wry smile, "Third Prince, you are joking. How would I know what is going on with the Eighth Master?"

"You can't possibly not know! You are the most trusted eunuch beside my father. In the past, not to mention Uncle Eighth's affairs, even if it was Aunt Eighth who did something, you would always inform my father in time."

Hongshi scolded angrily.

Su Peisheng did not answer, but only said: "It's late, Third Prince, you should go to bed early."

"Whether I rest or not is none of your business!"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have shown my face in front of Uncle Eight by now!"

Hiroshi replied in annoyance.

Then, when he was about to vent his anger on Su Peisheng again, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from outside.

The barking of the dogs also stopped at this time.

"An imperial decree has been issued, summoning Eighth Prince Yinsi to the palace immediately!"

Therefore, Hongshi also heard the announcement that the eighth prince Yinsi was entering the palace soon after.

"It's rumored that Eighth Uncle has entered the palace. Does that mean he's going to pass the throne to Eighth Uncle, or is he going to pass on Fourteenth Uncle's will to Eighth Uncle?"

"I don't know what my father is doing right now. If he still goes to the temple to burn incense and pray, then the entire Prince Yong's Mansion will really have to rely on me in the future!"

At this time, Hongshi muttered to himself in words that only he could hear.

"That's great!"

"All these years of my hard work have finally paid off! Even if Hongli has made contributions, he will only be a Beizi, but at least I can inherit the position of Prince Yong! I can also strive for the iron hat!"

Then, Hongshi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he quickly turned around in circles in the room, and then he shouted to Su Peisheng outside: "Old man, let me out quickly!"

Su Peisheng did not respond.

……

……

When Hongli heard the sound of Xuan Yinsi entering the palace, he did not say much and just continued to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

"Yes, where would the Fourth Master be at this time?"

It was at this time that Niu Hulu took the initiative to ask.

Hongli smiled. He was actually able to determine where Yongzheng was now.

But he still didn't say anything.

He had to act calm in front of Haitang.

Because he knew that Haitang might tell all this to Fu Jin, and then tell Yongzheng through Fu Jin.

clap clap!

But at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Not long after, a young eunuch came in and said, "The Fifth Prince and Geng Gege want to see you."

Niu Hulu glanced at Hongli and said, "Please come in!"

"Whoo!"

Soon.

Geng and Hong Zhou walked in holding hand warmers.

When Hong Zhou came in, he saw Hong Li still copying Buddhist scriptures and was very surprised: "Fourth brother, you are still copying this. I thought you might have fallen asleep."

“We must not slack off in praying for Khan Mafa’s blessings.”

"Why are you and Gege here so late?"

Hongli asked.

Without waiting for Hong Zhou to speak, Geng asked, "Did you hear the voice just now? The Emperor has summoned the Eighth Master to the palace!"

"We heard it, but we don't know if it was just the Eighth Master who was summoned. Furthermore, we don't know where the Fourth Master is right now, so it's not easy to ask the Concubine."

Niu Gulushi replied.

Geng was a little disappointed: "So you don't know where the Fourth Master is either."

Hong Zhou even took the initiative to ask Hong Li: "Fourth Brother, don't we really need to rush to show our good will to the Eighth Master?"

"Didn't I say that?"

"Let's wait and see! Besides, I believe Khan Mafa will not pass the throne to Eighth Uncle."

Hongli said at this time.

Geng was shocked when she heard this: "Fourth Prince, be careful with your words! Be careful, there are ears. If your Eighth Uncle finds out, and he really becomes the Emperor, it will affect your own future!"

At the same time, Geng also hurriedly covered Hong Zhou's mouth, for she was afraid that Hong Zhou would say something bad.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard again.

"I have ordered that all princes, beile, beizi, dukes, princes, princesses, grandchildren, granddaughters, wives, ministers, grand secretaries, generals, and chancellors, immediately come to the temple to see the emperor!"

Everyone's face turned pale.

Because if the emperor was not seriously ill, the news would not have been announced to so many people, regardless of whether they were from the inner or outer courts, the palace, or even men or women.
