Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 251 The Cold War ([-])

Yinzhen got up in the morning under the service of Gao Fu, put on the court clothes and went to the court. He didn't say anything in the court hall, but just stood there coldly and listened carefully.The prince did not spare any effort to crack down on the officials who were close to the eighth elder brother, and seized the impassioned Chen Zuo.Naturally, the people in the eighth elder brother's family were not to be outdone, and kept picking on the prince's disciples.Of course Kangxi was very satisfied with this situation, and took advantage of the situation to dismiss all the officials on both sides, and even reprimanded the prince in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for being magnanimous and caring for his brothers.

Yinzhen lowered his head and showed sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. The eighth elder brother stood behind Yinzhen and looked at Yinzhen with a complicated expression. He was really not sure about the fourth brother. This time, he just wanted to use fourteen Elder brother tried him, seeing Yinzhen's reaction as if he really didn't care about that position, thinking of Jiu elder brother persuading himself, eighth elder brother also felt that he should look at Yinzhen like this first, so as to save innocent enemies, and recently Old Fourteen is not very honest.

After the court was over, the prince called Yinzhen to stop him, and said some comforting words, explaining that his illness was really serious at the time, and secretly hinted that most of the imperial doctors were still at the old fourteen's place. Yinzhen listened to the prince's words calmly, With a gratified smile, he said, "As long as the crown prince is in good health, it will be the blessing of the Qing Dynasty. The younger brother will never have any ideas." The crown prince looked at Yinzhen for a long time, then patted Yinzhen on the shoulder in satisfaction and said, " Fourth brother, you are really a good brother of Gu, and you don't have so many unreasonable thoughts like others. You understand your loyalty. Don't worry, Gu will remember Hongmin's affairs, even if you search the world, you will find him Good medicine, cure Hongmin."

Yinzhen nodded gratefully, looking at the back of the prince leaving, Yinzhen's eyes flickered darkly.Yinzhen didn't go to the household department, but went to Liulichang with the guards of the palace.Gao Fu leaned closer to Yinzhen and said in a low voice, "Master, just now a servant told the Fourteenth Elder Brother to meet the Concubine De. It is said that Prince Zhuang's son disapproved of that Fourteenth Fujin's cousin, saying that the girl misbehaved."

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear those words." Yinzhen turned the wrench in his hand and rode to Liulichang.After entering the Zhenbao Pavilion, Boss Qin greeted him quickly, "Please greet Prince Yong." Yinzhen nodded, looked around, and saw that he was wearing a light blue robe with a green slanted breast and buttoned mandarin jacket.Holding a few ancient books in his hand, Qi Huan saw Yin Zhen stunned for a moment, but still smiled and asked Yin Zhen to press his hands to salute. Yin Zhen looked at Qi Huan carefully and found that he had grown up, and he was the same as Ling Zhu. They don't look alike, their facial features are softer, and they don't have the coolness of Ling Zhu, but rather elegant and elegant.

Qi Huan, who was neither humble nor overbearing, said a few words to Yinzhen, expressing his concern for Qi Luo, then took his leave and left.Yinzhen looked at Qi Huan's back. Although he might not be able to win the number one prize with his knowledge, he is expected to be among the top three. It's just that he was born in the Zhiyuanhou's mansion by mistake. Although he was rich and honored, he couldn't take a step forward in his official career.Yinzhen knew that Qi Huan was now a sixth-rank assistant in the Ministry of Rites, and that Kangxi had awarded Qi Huan the title of third-class captain of light vehicles. This title may not be attained by ordinary people in their lifetime, but Qi Huan also said that , I am really aggrieved.

However, Yinzhen didn't see any complaints or dissatisfaction from Qi Huan's eyes, only calm and prudent. Yinzhen thought of the arrogant and elf Qi Jue and the changeable Qi Luo, Yinzhen felt that God really loves Ling column.Qin Wu didn't dare to disturb Yinzhen's train of thought, but just stood respectfully and cautiously beside him.

Yinzhen looked around at the surrounding decorations, and said to Qin Wu, "Didn't you find any unusual items here? I think these are all old." Qin Wu's eyes flashed clearly, "If you go back to the prince, there are some new ones inside. It's a treasure, your lord might as well go and have a look." Yinzhen nodded and followed Qin Wu into the inside.Qin Wu opened the secret compartment, and Yinzhen walked in.

Qin Wu knelt down again and said, "The slave knocks on the master, and the master is safe." Yinzhen sat on the chair and said lightly, "Get up." Qin Wu poured tea for Yinzhen, stood respectfully by the side, and waited for Yinzhen's order .Xu Zhen touched the teacup, and asked with some doubts, "Qi Huan, do you come here often?"

"Yes, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhiyuan often comes." Qin Wu said cautiously in a low voice, "He has good eyesight and a lot of knowledge, and he especially loves isolated copies of ancient books. The slaves know him from the side. He is a capable person, but"

"I will consider his matter, treat him well, maybe it will be useful in the future." Qin Wu nodded.Yinzhen took a sip of tea, "You know what's going on in the mansion, right?" Qin Wu knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, master, there is no one who betrays the master in this slave."

"Really?" Yinzhen looked at Qin Wu carefully, "I'm too confident that this kind of thing happened. Your movie is not bad, but I can't be completely relieved now. I came this time to want You are checking carefully to save yourself a slave who betrayed the master, is there really nothing abnormal about you?"

Qin Wu nodded affirmatively, and assured, "Master, please rest assured, the slaves have checked carefully, and no one has the intention of betraying the master. The slaves will definitely be loyal to the master and do things for the master."

Staring at Qin Wu with sharp eyes for a long while, Yin Zhen said, "Get up first, I have something to do for you." Qin Wu stood up, Yin Zhen put down his teacup, thought for a moment, then squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" How is the person who mentioned it at the prince's place?"

Qin Wu replied in a low voice, "Master, he has completely gained the trust of the Crown Prince, and the disciples of Eighth Prince also want to bribe him recently. Master, do you mean to let him do things?"

"The old eight is also buying him? This is a good move." Yinzhen chuckled a little complacently, "However, can you guarantee that he is really loyal? He won't really be bought by the eighth brother, right?"

"Master, he is very elf-able to speak, and he is very good at both sides. It is feasible to use it once." Qin Wu lowered his voice, "The most important thing is that he doesn't know anything, and he can clean it up at any time. It was really a coincidence to gain the prince's trust. A godsister I recognized actually got the prince's favor overnight, and got some tonics for the prince. Let people find out."

"In this case, then use him." Yinzhen whispered, Qin Wu nodded again and again, a little hairy in his heart, this prince seems to have really angered the master, Yinzhen looked at Qin Wu and ordered "afterwards, Push it on the eighth elder brother, and then clean it up, I don't want to leave any traces, causing people to suspect."

"Please rest assured, master, the slave will make arrangements." Qin Wu looked at Yinzhen, took out a secret report from his arms and presented it to Yinzhen, "Master, the background and preferences of Nian Gengyao that you asked the slave to check are all in above."

Yinzhen opened it and looked at it carefully, and said hesitantly, "I still have to try him, let's put it aside for now." The news about the eighth elder brother has been disclosed to the disciples of the prince, Jiangnan should also be lively, and it will save them too much time."

Yinzhen stood up and told Qin Wu, "Pick some rare gadgets, so that I can take them back to the manor, and I will send an order to all people to find famous doctors or have prescriptions for ear diseases, and send them to the capital immediately." Qin Nodding at five, he personally selected two rare antiques from the previous dynasty and put them in a box for Yinzhen.

In Concubine De's palace, the fourteenth elder brother knelt in front of Concubine De in Baylor attire. Yinzhen had been kneeling for a long time, and his knees were aching. She said coquettishly, "Emiang, what's the matter? Let my son kneel here without saying a word? Is Emiang uncomfortable? Or is there something wrong with my son?"

Concubine De took a deep breath, slowly sat up straight, said softly, "Emiang is not feeling well, so she will tell the imperial doctor, and now the imperial hospital does not dare to go out to see and treat all of them. Make the emperor angry again, and assign Ninggu Tower to the armored men as slaves."

Yinzhen chuckled twice, knelt and climbed two steps towards Concubine De, grabbed De Concubine's hand and shook lightly, "Emiang, how can you say that Hongming was also sick back then? That is your most beloved grandson .”

Concubine De stretched out her finger and tapped Yinzhen's forehead, then shook her head lightly, "Yinzhen, you are in a hurry, how can you intervene in this matter? After all, you and Yinzhen are brothers, whoever can do this matter, Only you can't do it, besides, why don't you tell Er Niang the truth? Still keep it from Er Niang?"

Yinzhen gently hung his legs for Concubine De, and said with a trace of jealousy, "Emiang, the son didn't hide it from you on purpose, the son just doesn't like the way the fourth brother regards himself as the adopted son of Empress Tong, but he is your son." Dear son, the way he looks at outsiders makes his son really angry, and, Er Niang, when the fourth brother got the epidemic, Huang Ama looked anxious and angry. It is hard to guarantee that Huang Ama would not have any thoughts? What's more, Hong Min Ke, but the grandson of Marquis Zhiyuan, isn't it better now?"

Concubine De sighed, thinking of Yinzhen's usual expression, she felt a little upset, Concubine De took Yinzhen's hand, "I know that eighth elder brother told you about this, and I also know what you think, but, Yinzhen Zhen, you have to remember that now Yinzhen is Prince Yong, the prince conferred by the emperor, needless to say, the prince, although the fifth elder brother was raised by the empress dowager, he has never been liked by the emperor, and he is not very sensible. It’s the third elder brother and Yinzhen. Although the eighth elder brother is a big deal, even the emperor said that he came from a lowly background, and he is just a Baylor.”

Seeing what Yinzhen wanted to say, Concubine De patted his hand lightly, and then said, "You have such a temper, listen to what Er Niang has to say, I know you want to take advantage of the power of the eighth elder brother, and now the eighth elder brother is being killed." The emperor alienated him, and it was a good idea to take advantage of his influence. Yinzhen promised Erniang that you must never offend your fourth brother again? Seeing his expression, Erniang was a little worried. I've taken it on for you, from now on you must not hide it from my mother."

Yinzhen looked up at Concubine De and said softly, "Emiang, you don't have to be afraid of what fourth brother will do to me? Fourth brother doesn't have the guts either." Concubine De covered Yinzhen's mouth and said sternly, "Emiang, tell you Didn't you listen to the words? Yinzhen was on a business trip early, and even if he was an adult prince, he would not be weak at all even if he was hiding from the world. No matter what I said, it was his mother, and he dared not talk to her. How, otherwise, the emperor will not be able to make it through."

Putting down the hand covering Yinzhen, Concubine De touched Yinzhen's head and confessed, "Yinzhen, you have to remember that this is the palace, you can't trust anyone, and you can't treat everyone as a fool. It's not bad for the eighth elder brother to support you so much." It's not that you have other ideas, you must be careful, you are all of Er Niang's hope, you must be careful, Er Niang has been in the palace for most of her life, and she has seen too much."

"Emiang, don't worry, my son knows how to do it, and my son will visit the fourth brother in two days." Yinzhen looked at Concubine De and assured her earnestly, "Emiang, don't worry, my son will definitely live up to you and let you know." above the crowd."

Concubine De patted Yinzhen's head in relief, pulled Yinzhen up, and asked with concern, "Does your knee hurt? Do you need some medicine?" Yinzhen frowned and said bitterly, "Mother, you don't feel sorry for your son anymore. Concubine De rubbed Yinzhen's knee nervously, and Yinzhen immediately said, "Emiang, son is fine, son knows that Emiang loves her son." Concubine De smiled lightly and nodded Yinzhen's head, pampering her. He said, "You, you really make Erniang feel at ease."

Yinzhen returned to Prince Yong's mansion in the evening, and after a long while of contemplation, he brought the items he had selected in the afternoon to Qi Luo's yard. When he saw Yinzhen coming in, Qi Luo saluted coldly, "My lord, please be well." Yinzhen was stunned. After a moment, he felt that Qi Luo's attitude was a bit inappropriate, but then he thought that she should still be angry, and he felt relieved. Yinzhen knew that Qi Luo's temper would improve after a while.

Yinzhen handed the antique to Qi Luo and said, "My Lord personally picked this for you. Do you like it?" Qi Luo took the box, opened it for a look, then closed it, and said calmly, "Thank you, Lord, for your reward." , I will take good care of it." Qi Luo told Mother Qin to put it away carefully, looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Is the prince going to eat here?" Yinzhen nodded, Qi Luo ordered Ziying to serve, Qi Luo Still serving Yinzhen for dinner as usual, but Yinzhen felt very awkward, always felt that Qi Luo seemed far away from him, Yinzhen looked at Qi Luo who was calmly serving him dishes without any emotional fluctuations with a complicated expression Luo couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Still angry? Or Hongmin?"

Seeing that Yinzhen was almost used up, Qi Luo ordered people to remove the food, served good tea for Yinzhen, and said flatly, "My lord, you are overthinking, shouldn't this be made by Prince Fujin? I'm young and ignorant, so it's in line with the rules now. Hong Min is fine now, except that he can't hear whispers, everything is fine."

Yinzhen closed his eyes and didn't know what to say. Qi Luo said mockingly, "Hongmin is just a small problem. I should really thank God for his kindness. I will go to the temple to pay for Hongmin in two days. Even the Buddha will believe it." Yin Zhen stood up abruptly, grabbed Qi Luo's wrist, and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do? Do you still have a master in your eyes?"

Qi Luo looked up at Yinzhen, with fear in his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What did the prince say, and what did I do wrong?"

Yinzhen stared at Qi Luo and said softly, "Okay, you are fine, you have to obey the rules, right? Then come and serve me, today I will teach you how to behave." Qi Luo bit her lip and took a deep breath. With some regret, he said, "My lord, I am inconvenient to serve you today? Why don't you teach me the rules some other day, and" Qi Luo stared at Yinzhen and continued, "Besides, I have to take care of Hongmin, what is he like now? How can you leave me?"

Yinzhen slowly let go of Qi Luo's wrist, and repeated "Hongmin...Hongmin" mutteringly, with a touch of loneliness, Yinzhen walked to the door, took a deep breath and said, "Take good care of Hongmin, Grandpa will go to the study to resettle."

Qi Luo saw Yinzhen leave and sat on a chair weakly, and Qin Nanny looked at Qi Luo and shook her head, "Fu Jin, why are you doing this?" Qi Luo calmed down and stood up, and said slowly, "This is good , I will take good care of Hong Min and Wu Xi, this is the best and most correct." Only in this way can he continue to be Prince Yong's sensible and well-behaved Fujin, and he can live in peace.
