Chapter 18 The waves are rising (1)

"Oh, Uncle Sixteen, early!"

Days passed day by day, and it was already midsummer in June. It was so hot that it was full of sweat when it moved. Even so, Hongqing never thought of skipping class. She entered the palace early in the morning and walked up to the study room. She had just turned the screen in front of the door and saw that the old Sixteenth Yinlu, who had been absent from class for a long time, appeared in the study room, and was stunned. But without thinking too much, she walked forward quickly and bowed with a smile and asked.

"Okay, don't do this, will you die if you don't play these false gifts?"

Although the sixteenth man was young, he was particularly wild. The most annoying thing was that Hongqing was very kind. When he saw that Hongqing was a regular gift, he immediately rolled his eyes and waved his hand angrily and said.

"Hey, Uncle Sixteen, we are familiar with each other, but etiquette is indispensable. You must know that this is the study room. If my nephew has a bad attitude and is ginseng, it must be a joke. Didn't you see that all the prince replied yesterday?"

Hongqing has been familiar with Yinlu these days. Whenever she has free time, she either brags and chats together or travels to the construction workshop in the south of the city to look forward to a great dream of money. The relationship is very harmonious, and when she speaks, she is always casual.

"Crown Prince? Hehe, he is afraid he will be in trouble this time."

It was fine if Hongqing didn't mention the prince. After this, Yinlu became energetic. His eyes were shining wildly, and he snapped his fingers with a "slap", and he laughed gloatingly.

"Well? Where did Uncle Sixteenth say this?"

When he heard Yinlu say this, Hongqing's heart suddenly jumped. He had guessed it vaguely, but it did not reveal it. Instead, he widened his eyes in a daze and asked suspiciously.

"Ha, you don't know this. It's spread in the palace, saying that the Emperor Ama has had enough of Soetu's arrogantness, so he plans to take down the dog slave!"

Yinlu obviously enjoyed Hongqing's surprised expression, and he snapped his fingers complacently, then looked around in a mysterious manner for a few times before he could tell the truth with a flash of eyebrows.

This is the beginning? What a quick hand!

The unlucky thing that Soetu was originally Hongqing deliberately missed to the Fourteenth House. He could have expected that the eighth House, who was unwilling to be lonely, would have some action. For this reason, he made many plans for adapting to this situation. However, he was still a little scared when the eighth House could stir up the storm so quickly. You must know that the prince returned at noon yesterday. In less than half a day, there were rumors in the palace, which shows that the potential power of the eighth House was already amazing. This is really not good news for Hongqing, who wanted to make profits in chaos.

"Hey, Brother Qing, why are you stunned? You're so stupid?"

Hongqing was teasing his brain, and he couldn't help but think about it for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing this, Yinlu was impatient and stretched out his hand to shake Hongqing's eyes, and even more whirring.

"Uncle Sixteenth, Is there a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Although he was a little worried about the current situation, it was obviously not the time to think deeply. After Yinlu made such a fuss, Hong Qing woke up from her thoughts, temporarily put her thoughts aside, her face turned solemn and her expression spoke cautiously.

"Okay, Brother Qing, you can sell less mysterious things. Whoever we are with? Just say anything."

Seeing that Hongqing looked wrong, Yinlu was stunned, but soon he regained his nature. He waved his hand carelessly and responded with a bold voice.

"We can't interrogate the affairs of the court. The rumors are heard but not trustworthy, and it's best to forget them."

The sixteenth brother was carefully selected by Hong Qing and was preparing to be a top thug. He didn't want to see him early and get involved in the struggle between the adult princes. Besides, this place is in the study room. Although there are only two young men in the study room at this moment, I don't know how many eyes and ears are staring at it outside. If you have any slight mistakes in your words, it is a disaster. In view of this, Hong Qing was speaking very seriously.

"What a big deal, this matter... OK, okay, can I make up for it? I'm so angry, are you tired of being like an old man all day long?"

Lao Sixteen was a bold and unrestrained person. He really didn't take Hongqing's words to heart. He whispered and said something wildly. But when he saw Hongqing's face darkened, his heart was indifferent, not for anything else. It was just because he had been together for more than half a year. Lao Sixteen really admired Hongqing's ability, and even felt a little afraid of this nephew who was only half a year younger than him. But when it came to the specific reason, Yinlu couldn't tell why he was afraid. When he was unhappy, he could only respond.

"Cough, cough."

When Hongqing heard the comment of Lao Shiliu giving him a "little old man", he was really amused and laughed. Just as he thought of retorting, he was interrupted by two fake coughs. When he looked back, he found that Maqi had appeared in the room at some point.

"I've met Mr. Fucha."

Although the strange appearance of Maqi again, Hongqing did not reveal anything, but bowed respectfully.

"Sit, sit, haha, Liang Hanlin has something to do today, so he took a leave of absence. I was entrusted by someone, so I had to do it. Isn't you not welcome me?"

Ma Qi nodded with a smile, as if he had returned the gift. Then while explaining, he put the chessboard and chess box in his hand on Hongqing's table, dragged a chair, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and showed a posture of preparing to start a war.

OK, this old guy, you are not a substitute? You are just a chess addiction.

Hongqing was very agile. When she saw Maqi's impatient look, she had already guessed a rough idea, but she didn't say it out loud. Hongqing left and right was thinking about getting along with Maqi. Now the person came to her door by herself, and she didn't continue to wait for it. She smiled indifferently and didn't say much, but just made a gesture of "please".

"Bang!"

When Ma Qi was addicted to chess, he would not be polite. He picked up a white piece and slapped the chessboard heavily. It was a game. Hongqing smiled and picked up a black piece. He responded. The old and the young started fighting silently. Soon, the chessboard was already full of smoke, and it was very lively...

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, another Song porcelain vase in Yuqing Palace's study was broken. This is Song porcelain. Take out any one. On the market, you can exchange for at least three or five thousand taels of silver. But now two pairs are broken. The eunuchs standing in the study didn't even dare to say anything, for nothing else, just because the crazy spending man there was the owner of Yuqing Palace, the current crown prince Yinreng!

Yinreng was in a good mood - as the prince, he seemed extremely honorable, but in fact he was just a bird in a cage. He had a rare opportunity to go out of the palace to play. He had a rare minor illness in Dezhou. Not only did he get rid of the tedious task of serving Mr. Kangxi, he also got a casual leisure. He played wildly in Dezhou for a long time without saying anything. He went back to Beijing and played all the way, and was extremely happy. However, when he woke up, everything changed. The rampant rumors in the palace made Yinreng's good mood a mess.

Soetu is not an ordinary person, but a dignified uncle and a chief prime minister who has been in power for more than 30 years. But this is not the point. The point is that Soetu is Yinreng's most important support. If he falls down, Yinreng's throne, which is already faintly unstable, will be in a precarious position. Because of this, the rumors spread in the palace are really a sword of heart-killing for Yinreng, but it is hard to stop everyone. Even if Yinreng has ordered to kill several eunuchs and palace maids who have spread rumors in the East Palace, it can barely stop the chaos in the East Palace, but Yinreng is out of reach for the inner forbidden area. Seeing that the rumors are getting more and more intense, Yinreng is already extremely angry. Even if he smashes more than a dozen decorations in the study, he cannot calm down his anger.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I've been here."

Just as Yinreng picked up the jade pen holder on the copy and was about to fall to the ground, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside, lowered his eyebrows and reported it with a pleasing voice.

"Xuan, hurry up!"

When he heard that Suo'ertu had arrived, Yinreng's anger immediately calmed down, but his impatient intentions were not rare. He threw the pen holder onto the copy, stomped his feet, and roared.

"twitter!"

At this time when Yinreng was furious, the little eunuch who came to report naturally did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly responded and ran out of the study. Without hesitation, he had already accompanied the famous tall and strong white-haired old man to return from outside. The old man was the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace and the Minister of the Inner Guard Soetu.

"Suo Xiang, you are here. Alas, rumors are everywhere now, and my heart is in chaos. What should I do?"

Yinreng was anxious. When he saw Soetu arrive, he took a few steps without waiting for Soetu to see him, and grabbed him closer and started shouting in panic.

"Your Highness, don't worry, some rumors are not worth worrying."

Looking at Yinreng's panicked face, Soetu couldn't help but feel disappointed. Soetu had already put all his wealth and life on Yinreng. In order to support Yinreng, he had spent a lot of energy and effort, but even so, Yinreng still couldn't really grow up. His calmness and keenness on weekdays were just appearances. When a big thing happened, it became like this now, which was really embarrassing. Of course, even though he was disappointed, Soetu did not bring it to his face, but just responded with a plain face.

"Rumor? Seeking the truth, this is probably not as simple as rumors. There must be something strange about it. One must be that there is a villain in secret, and the consequences are unpredictable."

Yinreng is not stupid by nature, not only not stupid, but also a very intelligent person. Therefore, he can see the strangeness hidden behind the rumors. It is precisely because he can see the crisis that Yinreng is very frightened. This fear cannot be eliminated by a simple comforting word from Soetu.

"Um."

Suo'ertu was able to dominate the government for decades, so he was naturally not a mediocre person. Yinreng could see that it was strange, so how could he hide his plan? It was just that Suo'ertu seemed unwilling to say too much, but just said a dull voice, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped...
