Chapter 679 A sudden letter

But the Long Live Lord was busy, and he was also angry with Concubine Xi for what he did. He refused to see her and just asked her to kneel outside.

Now it's almost October, and the weather is too good for anyone, even though Concubine Xi is accustomed to being so delicate and delicate, she has never been able to kneel for such a long time. She only knelt for less than half an hour, and her knees and calves were as numb as tens of thousands of people.

An ant was biting her, and Concubine Xi gritted her teeth. Why couldn't she persevere for the sake of her eighth prince?

I thought that Long Live the Lord would at least ask her to kneel down for two hours before calling her in, but who knew that this kneeling was almost dark and no servants came out to invite her in. In the middle, brothers came in and out holding articles, but there were also some

Unable to bear it, she asked someone to give her tea and a mat.

But how could Concubine Xi accept it? She was riding a tiger and had no choice but to grit her teeth and persist. Otherwise, she would get up because she was tired from kneeling and it hurt. Wouldn't it mean that the Eighth Prince was not that important in her heart.

Seeing that the day was getting dark, Concubine Xi licked her dry lips. She was very tired and hungry. Suddenly she heard the creak of the door opening. Concubine Xi straightened her back and looked eagerly.

When Liang Jiugong came out, she felt that it was most likely because Long Live the Lord was soft-hearted and wanted to invite her in.

But Liang Jiugong didn't even look at him, he just hurried out and came back in about two-quarters of an hour, bringing a man in a hemp-colored robe behind him.

The man was probably in his early thirties, with a fair face and no beard. He held his waist and lowered his head and walked quickly. Concubine Xi looked at him up and down and felt that he was probably a father-in-law, but she didn't know where he came from.

Could it be that he's from Prince Chun's palace? The Shangjia family doesn't want the Eighth Prince anymore?

Concubine Xi had some vague hopes. During this period, she did not hold her eighth prince in her arms. When the time came to say goodbye, she could not change the minds of the Long Live Lord and the Empress Dowager, so she asked someone to communicate with Shang Jia on her behalf.

I'll discuss it carefully, but it's not impossible.

It's not that Shang Jia's son is the eighth prince, it's just that this is the good intention of Lord Long live and the empress. It's hard for her to refuse. However, if she gives enough benefits to Shang Jia, I don't think Shang Jia's embarrassment can be considered an embarrassment.

.

Shangjia has lost both her husband and her son. It is a time when she is pitiful. She will not accept anyone she wants or not.

It's just that this Shangjia family is really cautious and doesn't dare to offend anyone. Concubine Xi has called people to visit her several times, but she hasn't come up with an answer. She had given up hope, but Concubine Xi is really looking forward to this.

While thinking about it, the father-in-law who came from outside followed Su Peisheng in to see the saint. Concubine Xi, who was tightly closed at the door, could not hear what was going on inside, so she had no choice but to kneel down and go.

"This servant is sending greetings to your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed. This servant came here rashly because he has something important to report."

The man who came was indeed his father-in-law, and Emperor Kangxi still had some impressions of him. This was Longxi's father-in-law, Ankang, who was the most trusted by Longxi in the past.

After Longxi left, Shangjia didn't want to treat his old friend badly, and originally wanted to keep Ankang in charge of the house, but Ankang focused on his own affairs and asked himself to guard the mausoleum of his father. Maybe he lived a poor life, and Ankang looked down on him.

I used to be whiter and fatter.

"But what's wrong with Tanglin?"

Longxi was buried in Dongling. Now that Ankang could no longer serve his master, why would Ankang be so important? Emperor Kangxi could not imagine that there might be something wrong with Longxi's mausoleum.

Ankang shook his head slightly and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over. Liang Jiugong took it and inspected it carefully. He didn't find anything harmful contained in it and then handed it over to Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi took a look and saw that the words "Emperor Brother Qinqi" written on it were actually Longxi's handwriting.

Emperor Kangxi was not in a hurry to open it. He only looked at Ankang first and waited for someone to explain. He had stayed by Long Xi's bed to see Long Xi off for the last time. Long Xi had already explained everything he needed to explain, so why was he so careless?

An autographed letter from Long Xi appeared. What was the purpose of this letter?

Emperor Kangxi rubbed the slightly furry corner of the envelope and felt that this matter was probably for the child. Longxi was dead and there was no explanation for it, but if someone used the guise of Longxi to achieve their own goals,,,

, Emperor Kangxi thought about the man kneeling outside, and suddenly became filled with doubts. Even Long Xi's close confidants could not trust him.

Ankang felt a lot of pressure under Long Live Lord's scrutinizing gaze, but there was really nothing fishy about the matter. He didn't even know what was written in the letter.

"Back to Lord Long Live, this letter was given to me by our prince two months before he left. I don't know how to read and dare not open the prince's letter. I just keep in mind the prince's instructions."

"The prince had a premonition that his life was not long, but he was thinking about Fujin and his unborn son, so he had to prepare for the worst."

"The prince said that if Fujin fails to give birth safely or the child unfortunately dies young, he will deliver this letter to you in the palace. If everything is fine with Fujin and the child, there is no need to let the masters know about this letter, so as not to add to the sorrow.

"

Emperor Kangxi quickly figured out what was wrong with Ankang's words: "Since your master has arranged it this way, why did you only send this letter half a year after the prince's death?"

"I won't mention it if I'm not in the capital before August, but it's already October. What could possibly cause you to delay sending this letter to me for two months?"

Ankang became more and more guilty, and lowered his head again: "It's embarrassing to say that I have been guarding Dongling all day long and didn't know anything about the situation outside. After the young prince died, he couldn't be buried with the prince because of his young age.

It was already more than a month before I found out."

"This is also a servant who neglected his duty. Previously he only knew that Fujin and the Crown Prince were living well and had almost forgotten about it. It rained suddenly half a month ago, and the servant was cold and ill for several days. He had a high fever and dreamed of the prince. This time

Only then did I remember the prince’s previous instructions, don’t delay, the slave will come as soon as he recovers from his illness, please long live the Lord to punish him.”

Ankang spoke sincerely. Emperor Kangxi asked Ankang again if he had anything else to say. When Ankang shook his head, he sent him away.

Regarding Longxi's last wish, Emperor Kangxi did not dare to make a rash decision. He was not even in a hurry to read the letter. He only summoned Balshan again to find out the details of Ankang and find out whether there was anything shady in private in the past six months.

If there is anything wrong with the money transactions, the trust cannot be trusted.

Emperor Kangxi waited for the news and did not go anywhere. When he thought of Longxi, he felt depressed and felt sorry for his brother.

Emperor Kangxi was in a rare daze. He sat in front of the case and remained motionless. It was not until Balshan returned in the middle of the night that Emperor Kangxi raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"how?"

"Back to my brother, I haven't found anything about Ankang's private exchanges. He hasn't seen anyone since the day he moved to Dongling. He sweeps and cooks alone all day long. His life is quite simple. It's true that he lived a simple life in the past few days.

After a serious illness, the servant who delivered food found that Ankang had not come out to help him for a long time, and then he realized that Ankang was so ill that he lost consciousness."
