Chapter 111 Insist on Marrying Yunyan
The ninth and tenth brothers also explained what happened in the past two days. The eighth brother sat on the bed, smiling, thinking about the next step. He just hoped that his father wouldn't do anything too extreme!
Suddenly, Lao Ba said, "Lao Jiu, Lao Shi, can you two do me a favor?"
Old Eleven asked curiously, "What help?"
Lao Ba: "You two help me go to the prince's residence and tell Tie Zhu to find someone to protect Yan Er!"
Old Eight's words made Old Nine and Old Ten frown instantly. Although they were not the smartest ones, they were definitely not stupid and naturally understood what Old Eight meant.
Lao Jiu pointed in a direction and said thoughtfully: "Myna, you mean...!"
The direction that the Ninth Brother pointed to was exactly the direction of the Qianqing Palace. The Eighth Brother and the Tenth Brother all understood what he did not say, but they did not say it out loud. That was because they were inside the palace and the walls had ears. Even if they were in their own residence, they could not completely guarantee that there were no spies!
Lao Shi showed a puzzled look and asked all the questions in his mind!
Old Ten: "Eighth Brother, what do you want to do? I can't see clearly what you want to do. You have already guessed what the emperor will do. Why do you suddenly provoke him? You know that if the emperor is angry, thousands of people will be killed. Why do you do this?"
Lao Jiu also reacted and continued speaking along with Lao Shi's words.
Lao Jiu: "Yes, Brother Ba, why did you do this? What you did the past two days completely pushed Miss Yunyan into the fire pit. Based on our understanding of the Emperor, he should be venting all his anger on Miss Yunyan! Maybe he has already taken action now. Aren't you afraid of harming Miss Yunyan?"
When Old Eight heard what Old Nine and Old Ten said, he showed a sad look. Although Old Eight usually acted like he didn't care much and refused to admit that he cared, there was still a trace of resentment deep in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have taken that opportunity to vent all the resentment in his heart on the day he came back!
Eighth Brother: "It is precisely because I understand the Emperor that I want to do this. I must tell the Emperor that I really want to marry Yunyan, not just for fun. I know that Manchus and Han people cannot intermarry, but because of this, I will automatically be out of the game and will no longer be caught up in the fight between my eldest brother and the prince. This is not necessarily a bad thing for me! Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, you also know that I am not interested in the throne at all. In exchange for our safety, it is a good thing to have the best of both worlds, isn't it?"
After Lao Ba finished speaking, he looked at Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, who were hesitant to speak. He knew that they were doubting his feelings for Yun Yan in their minds. Was it true or not? He was a little amused. He thought he had shown it clearly enough, but it was not enough!
Lao Ba said helplessly: "What are you two thinking about? Don't doubt my feelings for Yunyan. Although I shouldn't drag Yunyan into this, I have no other choice. If possible, I don't want to drag Yunyan into this trap. But, do I have any other way? I can only give it a try. The gambling king still has a little kindness in his heart for me!"
Lao Jiu disagreed and said, "But Brother Ba, have you ever thought about it? What if you lose the bet? If you study, then Miss Yunyan will...!"
Lao Jiu's words made Lao Ba clench his fists involuntarily. When Lao Jiu and Lao Shi saw the eight bird's clenched hands, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts!
Lao Ba: "That's exactly why I asked you to pass on a message for me!"
Lao Jiu and Lao Shi looked at the determined look on their starling's face and could only nod helplessly. They didn't know why, but they always had a bad premonition in their hearts, as if something bad was going to happen!
The ninth and tenth brothers didn't stay for too long. The ninth brother hadn't copied the Filial Piety Sutra yet, so he had to go back and copy it! His fourth and fifth brothers took turns staying with him. If he hadn't suddenly found an excuse to run away, he would still be copying now! The tenth brother went to the eighth brother and brought the eighth brother's instructions. Tiezhu, the eighth brother's personal eunuch, quickly arranged it! At this time, Tiezhu didn't know that the people he arranged would never come back!
Ever since the Eighth Prince woke up, he has been like a possessed man, demanding credit for his own achievements. People in the former court and the harem have all been saying that the Eighth Prince has gone crazy. Kangxi has lost his temper more than once, and has punished the Eighth Prince more than once. Once, he even broke the stick. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince and the others pleading for him, the Eighth Prince would have been beaten to death!
Concubine Liang looked at the bloody body and just sat beside Lao Ba's bed, wiping her tears and saying nothing, because she had already advised him once. She thought that for the rest of her life, she would remember Lao Ba crying and telling her that he only wanted Yunyan. Lao Ba had always been strong since he was a child. He had never shed tears in front of her and never begged her for anything. She was a useless mother and could not help her child. He had never had any ambitions. His greatest hope in this life was to hope that his child could live happily!
Therefore, as long as the Eighth Prince is willing, she, as his mother, will have to stop being a hindrance. However, the only thing that comforted Concubine Liang was the medicine box that the Eighth Prince brought back. The medicine in it was really effective. This was one of the reasons why the Eighth Prince was still full of energy after being punished several times and could not anger his royal father!
Kangxi, even the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi had privately asked Concubine Liang to persuade their son more than once, but Concubine Liang loved her son so much and could not bear to see her son look so desperate, so every time someone tried to persuade her, she would muster up the courage to speak good words for the Eighth Prince, asking them to help him, and even went to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager to beg for help. As a result, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager were a little reluctant to see her, thinking that they had never met such a confused person, and that all their efforts were in vain!
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Liang is confused, but in her own opinion, she has thought about this matter very clearly. They do not seek imperial power or wealth, they just want to live a stable life. What they ask for is not much!
