The group returned.
When he arrived at the door of the second house, Brother Thirteen showed hesitation on his face.
It's too late now. What should I do if I go to the study?
Brother Jiu saw this and said, "Don't go back yet. Go in and accompany Fourteenth. There's no need to go to the study..."
At this point, he lowered his voice: "Khan Amma will probably come over to see Fourteen, or send someone from the royal family over!"
Don't stay with me all night, don't show off when you should show off, in case you are misunderstood as cold-hearted, unfriendly brother, and can't fall behind.
Brother Thirteen understood what he meant and nodded.
The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother again and said: "I am tired and impatient to move. Go to the study and Qianqing Palace. You can go there..."
The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother.
He understood that the intention was just to give him an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.
Otherwise, even father and son would have no chance to meet each other.
The tenth prince appreciates it in his heart.
But he didn't want to do that.
He smiled and said, "I'm not going! My brother is tired too, so he and Thirteen should stay here with Fourteen. Brother Ninth, please do more work if you can!"
With that said, he pulled Thirteen inside.
Brother Jiu hurriedly pulled his arm and said with disapproval: "Old Ten, listen to me!"
The tenth elder brother stopped laughing: "Brother Ninth, my younger brother is just right now, there is no need to do anything else, too much is not enough..."
The ninth elder brother disagreed with what the tenth elder brother said.
But I also know the temperament of the tenth prince. He seems to have no temper on weekdays, but in fact he is very upright.
On weekdays, between the two brothers, only the tenth prince persuaded him, not him.
Brother Ninth Brother could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll go over there! It was your Sister-in-law Ninth who noticed something was wrong in the fifth house, and she was worried about it in her heart. Don't forget to tell your Sister-in-law Ninth before you go in..."
The tenth elder brother agreed, and the ninth elder brother took He Yuzhu along the corridor and out of the elder brother's house.
The Thirteenth Brother was puzzled. He glanced in the direction of the Fifth Institute and muttered to the Tenth Brother: "Tenth Brother, why is the Twelfth Brother worried so much? He is the prince's brother. Even if he called the imperial doctor in the middle of the night, would anyone still say anything? Can’t he?”
The tenth prince's face looked ugly.
He could see that the twelfth prince had grown crooked.
This "crooked" does not mean that the character is flawed, but that the behavior is not correct.
There is no respect from the prince's elder brother.
This kind and respectful attitude towards life is no problem for Grandma Su Ma.
Aunt Su Ma is older and more senior. She was the maid of the late Empress Dowager.
The emperor and the queen mother also treated her as their elder.
The concubine didn't go to her to support her.
But he is not a serious master after all.
This is how Aunt Su Ma behaves. She is kind to the people below her and respectful to the master above her. She seeks perfection in everything and does not dare to overdo anything.
I heard that since the death of the Empress Dowager, she has been staying at home and almost died.
Later, the emperor carried the twelfth elder brother over, and the old lady had an idea and tried her best to pull the young master.
But what he taught is like the second Su Ma!
Is this still the prince's elder brother? !
The tenth elder brother couldn't tell the thirteenth elder brother this, so he could only say: "I grew up in the Buddhist hall with Grandma Su Ma. I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, and my heart is too soft. I guess I am afraid that Khan Ama will hold the servants accountable..."
Brother Thirteen showed his disapproval.
But the twelfth elder brother is the elder brother. Even if he has objections to his actions, it is not his turn to comment, so he will not say it again.
Shu Shu has washed herself again.
It wasn't bright outside, but it was already past midnight and it was breakfast time.
When the tenth elder brother came in, he first talked about the injury of the twelfth elder brother.
Shu Shu heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a hypocritical statement about the deep love between uncle and sister-in-law, it's not like that.
Mainly because he was afraid that Kangxi would be angry if things got too big.
Even though the twelfth prince was injured, it had nothing to do with the second institute.
But the fourteenth elder brother insisted on moving here early, but he came under the guise of being close to his brother and sister-in-law.
If you have to insist on it, you can also talk about cause and effect.
Even if Kangxi did not express his anger, the twelfth prince still had his biological mother.
There is also Concubine De, the biological mother of the Fourteenth Prince.
If everyone in the world were reasonable, there wouldn't be so many disputes and disputes.
Especially when it comes to matters of flesh and blood, how many people can reason?
There are some child protectors who habitually excuse their children and place the blame on others.
As the prince of Fujin, Shu Shu actually didn't have to worry about anyone else in the palace except the Queen Mother and Kangxi.
Even the Crown Princess is just a sister-in-law at the moment. She will have to wait until the Crown Prince ascends the throne to become everyone's "Queen's Mistress".
Shu Shu just doesn't like causing trouble.
Being hated by others, who knows how many more things will happen in the future.
Everyone has been busy for most of the night and is already tired.
The same goes for last night's hot pot. I couldn't hold it up after eating it. There wasn't much in it, and I got hungry very quickly.
Now, everyone is hungry.
Shu Shu sent the two of them to freshen up briefly in the west room, and then asked someone to set the dining table.
The hot and sour soup, sweet and sour poached eggs, and various side dishes are appetizing and refreshing.
Two plates of small flower rolls and millet steamed cakes were eaten cleanly.
After the dining table was removed, the two went to the study to see Brother Fourteen.
Brother Fourteen's nanny was neatly dressed and sitting by the kang to keep watch.
Brother Fourteen was snoring and sleeping soundly...
*
At this moment, Brother Jiu has arrived in the study room.
The few prince masters on duty had already arrived and stood at the door of the upper study, all looking at each other in confusion.
None of the three princes came.
I didn't even send anyone over to ask for leave.
The princes' haha beads also looked blank.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, several gentlemen came up to meet him.
The ninth elder brother scanned around and recognized Fahai. The other two strangers told Fahai: "The twelfth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are sick and need to take a long leave. The twelfth elder brother's side will go first." Stop for a month. Brother Fourteen will stay here for three days first... Brother Thirteen is taking care of Brother Fourteen, so he will stop for one day today..."
One sentence, several pieces of information.
Everyone came from the Hanlin Academy and figured it out.
The twelfth prince is seriously ill.
Brother Fourteen should be fine.
Brother Thirteen is fine, but it’s hard to leave his sick brother and younger brother to study.
Is that what it means?
But the prince’s classes are suspended, and they, the prince’s teachers, have no right to make the decision!
Fahai said hurriedly: "Master Jiu, it is related to the prince's studies. The servants have no right to make the decision. The emperor still needs to give instructions."
Even though Brother Jiu came over to report the matter, he had no intention of embarrassing everyone. He nodded and said, "I know, I will go and report this matter to the emperor..."
After saying that, Brother Jiu bowed his hands to several Hanlin officials and strolled to the entrance of Qianqing Palace.
This morning's meeting is not over yet.
The chamberlain led the waiting officials in one by one.
Brother Jiu was not in a hurry to tell anyone.
He was watching from the side.
The clever little eunuch saw Brother Jiu and went to tell Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong came over.
"Master Jiu, do you want to see me?"
The ninth elder brother nodded and said: "I came here to tell Khan Ama that the twelfth elder brother fell and was injured. The imperial doctor told him to stay in bed and rest, and he will have to stop studying in the study for a while."
Liang Jiugong nodded and said: "So it's this. The emperor already knows about it. Just now, the boy next to Master Jiu came to fetch the imperial doctor and let the emperor see it and asked someone to ask."
"Khan Ama didn't ask a few more questions? What if it was me who was injured in the fall?"
Brother Ninth sounded dissatisfied.
Liang Jiugong smiled but said nothing.
It was a cold day, and the palace was surrounded by bluestone pavements.
It's snowing and the roads are slippery. Falling or slipping is not news.
Except for the Queen Mother's fall, which could make the Emperor look at him sideways, other injuries were nothing to the Emperor.
The twelfth elder brother is like this, and the ninth elder brother is almost the same.
Brother Ninth also muttered this sentence.
It’s not easy to talk about Brother Fourteen’s affairs outside.
He just shut up.
When Liang Jiugong saw that he had no intention of leaving, he knew that he had other things to report.
Liang Jiugong said: "Then I will go and report it, so that Lord Jiu will not be exposed outside..."
The sky is slightly bright.
It's almost early morning.
Brother Jiu estimated that there were almost all the officials waiting to meet, so he nodded and said, "Excuse me, I'd like to thank you..."
Liang Jiugong said: "Master Jiu, you are so polite..."
Liang Jiugong turned around and entered Qianqing Palace.
At this time, several people came out.
The two in front are both well built and have belts that are three feet long.
A shriveled one with deep Sichuan lines on his forehead.
Next to him was a young man wearing regular clothes, who also had an expression of bitterness and hatred.
Brother Ninth brought a surprise.
Those who came out were the two Manchu and Han ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, and the fourth elder brother who was walking in the Ministry of Punishment.
The fourth elder brother also saw the ninth elder brother and saw that he was not standing still, so he wanted to scold him.
The ninth elder brother had already come forward, bowed his hands to the two ministers, and couldn't wait to grab the fourth elder brother.
"Fourth brother!"
His cry was extremely close, and he directly grabbed Si Age's arm.
The two ministers bowed in return and looked on, muttering to each other.
I really can’t tell that Sibeile is quite popular.
Brother Ninth Brother has been famous in the past six months, and now he is in the limelight, but he is so close and dependent on Sibeile.
Fourth brother is also stuck.
When the words of reprimand came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
An old saying came to mind: being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief.
Then it felt inappropriate.
This is my brother, not someone else.
I guess I encountered some difficulty.
Brother Jiu glanced around and saw that there were guards and eunuchs at the entrance of Qianqing Palace, not a place to talk.
He grabbed the fourth brother and pulled him towards the door of the side hall.
It's usually closed there, so it's a quiet place.
It wasn't until he reached the door of the side hall that Brother Jiu lowered his voice and talked about what happened last night.
The fourteenth prince's "night running" and "knocking on the door".
The twelfth brother slipped and fell.
Fourteenth Prince's high fever and fever reduction.
The diagnosis of the twelfth prince.
At the end, Brother Jiu said: "Twelve's place, although it was not the direct fault of Fourteen, it was almost the same. He suffered a serious crime. Do you think we should ask someone to visit him and comfort him?"
The fourth elder brother knew that the fourteenth elder brother had moved the palace yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would cause so much trouble in just one night.
His temples were pounding, and he endured his anger and said, "The fever has indeed subsided and it hasn't gotten up again?"
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said, "Yes, everyone was kept awake all night after the tossing. He himself was snoring and sleeping soundly. How can this be justified?"
"Where's Twelve? Which imperial doctor examined it?"
Fourth Brother then asked.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "The imperial doctor named Zheng has a beard. He seems to have good medical skills and is good at bone-setting..."
The fourth elder brother did not ask any further questions.
He also knew that this imperial physician was indeed one of the best among the bone-setting imperial physicians.
A few days ago, Eighth Prince fell down and he was the one who went to see him.
The fourth elder brother was a little relieved, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I will go over and take a look at it in a while. When the day after tomorrow is the day when your fourth sister-in-law comes to the palace to pay her respects, then let her go to visit the twelfth brother."
Brother Ninth has no objections.
He said a few more words, just to let people know that the twelfth prince was implicated.
Otherwise, if no one said anything, everyone would forget this and really think that the twelfth prince accidentally fell and injured himself. Then the twelfth prince would be unjustly accused.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong came out.
He had just informed Kangxi's ninth elder brother about his request.
Kangxi thought that the ninth elder brother was here to talk about the twelfth elder brother's injury, and he was a little concerned, so he summoned him.
As a result, there was no one at the door.
Liang Jiugong asked the guards at the door for advice and found the door of the side hall.
"Master Jiu, the emperor's biography is here!"
Liang Jiugong bowed.
The ninth elder brother responded and told the fourth elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, please wait for me at the door. Don't leave..."
Seeing this, Fourth Brother hesitated and said, "How about I go in with you?"
Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said: "Forget it, we are out on errands. Your Majesty, we should abide by the rules..."
