The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

After all, he is his biological brother. Lao Wu feels that if he is asked to watch his biological brother die, he cannot just sit back and do nothing.

But the Emperor's explanation is definitely not acceptable. He has been moody and increasingly irritable in the past two years. He doesn't even want to count how many unknown corpses have been pulled out of the Qianqing Palace.

Now the only one who has a say is Fourth Brother.

When the fifth brother came over, Yinzhen was still testing Honghui, Hongyan and Hongzhao's homework.

Even though we are on a carriage, we cannot neglect studying.

As soon as he heard Su Peisheng say that the Fifth Prince had arrived, he knew exactly what was going on.

If we wait until we get back to Beijing, it will be too late. There are many spies in Beijing, and it would be bad if the news got out.

Now they were in the carriage, it was dark, and there was a huge group of horses, so no one could see each other clearly, which was just convenient for them to talk.

Yinzhen sighed, asked the children to go back and recite their lessons, and went to see the Fifth Prince himself.

"Fourth brother! You have to help your younger brother!" As soon as the fifth brother saw Yinzhen coming in, his eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward and held his hand.

Yinzhen looked calm, just nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing. However, seeing his expression, the fifth brother felt a pang in his heart, thinking that something was not right.

After Yinzhen sat down, he looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "Fifth Prince, I know what you mean. Do you want to plead for the Ninth Prince?"

The Fifth Prince nodded hurriedly: "Fourth Brother, I know that Old Nine has made a big mistake and has done a lot of stupid things in his daily life, but he is still my brother and the biological son of the Emperor. I just want the Emperor to spare his life. Whether he is demoted to a commoner or sent to the clan house, at least give him a chance to live."

Yinzhen looked into his eyes, saw him chattering on and on trying to plead for his brother, and sighed.

"Old Five, do you really not know what Old Nine did to me?"

After these words were spoken, the Fifth Prince was stunned for a moment.

What have you done?

"Hongyan and Hutuli were born not long ago and were placed in Yonghe Palace for education. Concubine Yi once tried to teach these two young children a lesson."

Hearing this, the five old men were stunned.

Is his mother bored?

Why did you attack two children?

Although Concubine Yi has always been at odds with Concubine De, who among her fourth brother and nephews and nieces has offended her?

Almost instantly, he knew that it must have been Concubine Hui who instigated it!

That Concubine Hui was treacherous in her heart. She would not take the initiative and instead instigated her mother to do everything.

Before the fifth brother could calm down, Yinzhen continued.

"A few days ago, she arranged a concubine in my house as a spy, and she has been investigating the news in my house and the inner courtyard."

Rumble…

The fifth brother felt as if he was struck by lightning. No matter what he did, he could not stop his mother and brother from committing suicide...

Even the princess given to the prince has to intervene. Could it be that mother and ninth brother have already prepared for rebellion?

Lao Wu was not only angry and confused, but also tired.

He was raised by the Empress Dowager and was never as good as his ninth brother who was raised by his mother. Moreover, he was not good at Chinese and could only speak fluent Mongolian. In his mother's eyes, he was a waste and was not as good as his ninth brother in using sweet words to make her happy.

Therefore, he was not very close to his mother since he was young, and later he moved out of the palace early.

But he asked himself if he still treated his mother and younger brother with a sincere heart. When the ninth brother went astray, he also tried his best to persuade him not to interfere in the fight for the throne between the eighth brother and others. But what did the ninth brother say?

He still remembers Lao Jiu's sarcastic tone at that time.

"My brother has no ambition, let alone his ambition. If I rely on my brother's talent in the future, how can I let my mother continue to live a dignified life?"

The fifth brother's eyes turned dark and he rushed to Yikun Palace almost the next second. Even though he couldn't cure his younger brother, his mother could, right?

But when he complained to his mother indignantly about his brother and was heartbroken, what did his mother say?

"Old Fifth, you want to be a good brother, mother knows. But your ninth brother is grown up, so just let him do whatever he wants. Don't worry about it, go back and get along well with Mrs. Fujin, mother is waiting to hold a big fat grandson, and adopting one is not the right thing to do."

The fifth brother was dejected. It seemed that his mother and brother had made up their minds, and he could not change them. He knew to protect himself as much as possible. He did not want to get involved in this mess. As early as when his mother sent him to the Queen Mother, he had no chance of becoming the emperor.

But they are blood relatives after all. If the Ninth Brother plots rebellion, it will inevitably implicate Guo Luoluo and E'niang. As a brother and a son, how can he not do his part?

But when he heard what his fourth brother said, his lips trembled but he couldn't say anything.

How should he say it?

Let Fourth Brother repay evil with kindness?

Are you going to risk going against the world and beg for mercy from the enemy who has attacked you time and time again?

The fifth brother couldn’t explain it. He himself couldn’t do it, let alone the fourth brother?

He was so ashamed and felt powerless to save the situation that he could not help but cover his face and cry.

Seeing his usually honest brother covering his face and crying, Yinzhen felt bad.

He patted Lao Wu's shoulder, his tone heavy, but he also had to comfort him: "Lao Wu, it's not that Fourth Brother holds a grudge and refuses to lend a hand. This matter is too big, no one can make the decision, only the Emperor has the final say. Fourth Brother can do his best to get you out, you have a good character, the Emperor will not vent his anger on you. As for the others, Fourth Brother is unable to help."

When the fifth brother heard Yinzhen's voice, he hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeves and nodded repeatedly: "Fourth brother, you are a sincere person, I know that. Seventh and Thirteenth are very discerning. I am ashamed to have such a good brother like you. Although I was completely kept in the dark about what my mother and ninth brother did, I am still a son, so I apologize to you now."

"Alas!" Yinzhen hurriedly stopped him and pretended to scold him, "Nonsense! This is none of your business. Now, wash your face quickly and don't make any noise, or there will be another storm. Your wife and my concubine have always had a good relationship. You can let them walk around more when you have nothing to do."

The fifth brother was secretly happy, thinking that it seemed that the fourth brother understood and accepted his surrender, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law is pregnant recently. I haven't congratulated you yet."

Yinzhen smiled: "Thank you, fifth brother. She is indeed pregnant."

Lao Wu is not stupid and he thinks he can understand the implication of this statement.

Little Fourth Sister-in-law, Little Fourth Sister-in-law. Although it is Fourth Sister-in-law, it still has the word "Little" at the beginning, right?

Now I heard that my fourth sister-in-law, Ulanara, had died, so the next concubine...

Lao Wu understood that Fourth Brother wanted him to add fuel to the fire at the critical moment.

No problem, it's just a favor.

But this pure lady is really amazing...
