Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Chapter 292: Death of Citi

"The Citibank Playboy is so smart."

The father-in-law sighed.

Citi pulled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.

It has come to this point, what’s the use of all these praises?

The eunuch said, "Sir, I have no grudge against you. I really had no choice but to do this."

"Is it because I have affected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The eunuch paused and nodded heavily.

"Yes, there are many people in the court who are impeaching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all of them are accusing him of reveling every night."

Party every night?

I’m afraid the words used by the court officials were even more unpleasant.

Citi gave a bleak smile, "Is it only if I die that I can help His Highness?"

The eunuch was stunned again and sighed.

"Yes."

What he just said was not a lie to Citibank, and he indeed had no grudge against it.

As a subordinate of the same masters, he even felt a sense of sympathy - he knew that Citibank was also helpless.

"Is there a choice of how to die?"

The father-in-law said, "They are all outside. Choose one of the three: white silk, dagger, or poison."

Citi thought about it and asked her father-in-law, "Which one died more beautifully?"

The eunuch smiled bitterly, "If you use white silk, your tongue will fall out and you can't help it; if you use a dagger, the blood will spurt several feet away; if you use poison, you will bleed from all seven orifices and your body will be twisted, neither of which looks good."

"However, if the dagger is stabbed in the right place, as long as it is not pulled out, the blood can be reduced."

"My father-in-law knows a lot, so I will choose the dagger." When Citi heard his father-in-law say this, he knew that his father-in-law recommended the dagger.

The father-in-law laughed and scolded, "I know how to do a lot with this thing. You really don't know how to praise people."

"Yeah, I'm not good at talking." Citi said with his head down.

That eunuch followed Emperor Kangxi and was in charge of granting death sentences. Over the years, he had seen many people crying and begging to save their lives. Among those who died calmly, Citi was the first one.

Seeing him like this, the eunuch coaxed him with a few words, "You are not good at talking, but you have won the Crown Prince's sincerity. It can be seen that the Crown Prince's interest in you is not because of your clever mouth. From this point of view, you are much better than many people."

Citi laughed.

"Okay, then wait for me to change my clothes."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a beauty lover, and so am I. Since I have made plans and want to help the Crown Prince, I should leave in a dignified manner."

The father-in-law said, "Please ask someone to bring the clothes to you. I can't let you leave alone."

Citi went out and asked someone from the Prince's Mansion to fetch the costume he wore when he first met the Prince.

He has a handsome appearance and has always played female roles.

As soon as she put on the Huadan costume, it was as if there were stars in her eyes.

He smiled and said to his father-in-law, "How about I sing a song for the last time?"

"Row."

Although my father-in-law knew that he had to make a quick decision, he also wanted to give Citibank a decent performance.

However, when Citi opened his mouth, he did not sing any opera, but instead sang "Song of the Yue People".

"What a night it is today, I am floating on an island in the middle of the stream.

What day is today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

To be ashamed and disgusting, not to be ashamed.

I was so upset that I learned of the prince.

There are wood in the mountains and branches in the wood, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.

I love you, but you don't know it."

Even though the father-in-law had been killing people for ten years and his heart was colder than the knife in his hand, he was still very moved.

Citi knew that this song was destined not to be sung to the prince.

"Father-in-law, let's start."

The eunuch asked the young eunuch to bring in the tray.

Huaqi picked up the dagger and said with a silly smile, "What a rich and noble family! Even the dagger used to kill people is so exquisite."

He lay on the couch, holding the dagger in both hands, and said to his father-in-law, "I'm sorry, father-in-law. If I can't use my strength later, please help me and don't let too much blood flow."

My father-in-law nodded heavily.

Citi plunged the dagger into her heart, her pale face hidden under her stage makeup.

He used his strength extremely ruthlessly, leaving no room for his father-in-law to move.

It was obviously an extremely painful thing, but he didn't tremble at all, as if it was a fake dagger.

-----------------

Yinreng was in a very good mood when he came back.

Emperor Kangxi had a deep talk with him, and the knot between father and son was largely untied.

However, why are the people in the mansion looking evasive today?

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Citi!"

He quickened his pace and walked towards Citi's house.

The closer he got to his house, the more sad he felt, as if something big had happened, and he was a little afraid to get closer.

At this time, a young eunuch ran out crying, and suddenly knelt down in front of him, sobbing.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Citibank Prince...he...he committed suicide!"

Boom——

Yinreng felt as if his world was falling apart.

He rushed in quickly and saw Citi in a red costume, lying on the couch where they often read and played together.

"Citi, Citi!"

Yinreng rushed over and saw him lying there with thick stage makeup on his face, as if he was asleep.

There was a dagger stuck in his heart.

He recognized the dagger; it belonged to the palace and had the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it.

"Citi, Citi——"

The young eunuch knelt behind Yinreng and said tremblingly: "Today, a eunuch came to the palace to execute the emperor. He... and then the young master... wuwuwu..."

He worked for Citibank and knew that Citibank was a very good person.

Yinreng leaned over Huaqi's cold and stiff body and laughed.

It turned out that Emperor Kangxi called him today to sentence Huaqi to death.

What is the relationship between father and son in heaven?!

What is all for him!?

fake.

all fake!

The wall that Emperor Kangxi spent more than 30 years building for Yinreng.

After one after another of Soetu's family was executed, the dynasty was already on the verge of collapse.

At this moment it collapsed with a loud bang.

-----------------

When the news reached the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Yixiu paused.

Citibank seduced the prince, so he must die.

She had asked Citibank to stop at a certain point, and he could have gotten away with it.

Unexpectedly, Citibank was interested.

The word "love" can cause great harm to people.

"Ask someone to send more silver to Citi's family." Yixiu ordered.

After saying this, she continued to lower her head and embroider clothes for the baby in her belly.

Honghui and Nian Shilan ran in playing and fighting, and became well-behaved the moment they saw Yixiu.

"Mother, Shilan and I are here to see my sister."

Yixiu's heart trembled violently, and then she smiled gently, "How do you know it's my sister?"

Honghui said: "I want a sister as cute as Shilan."

Nian Shilan stamped her feet behind him, "Honghui, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the Fourth Lady?"

Yixiu teased him, "You don't like it because it's your brother?"

Honghui said, "I like it too, but I can't use my money to buy nice clothes for my brother."

Yixiu smiled and said, "Then buy them all for Shilan."

Nian Shilan's face turned red in an instant.

"Fourth Lady, you are making fun of me too!"

After saying that, she ran out.

Honghui looked at Yixiu blankly, "Mother, what happened to Shilan?"

Yixiu looked at Honghui helplessly, "You silly boy."

--------------------------

After one night, the temperature in the capital city rose by several degrees.

On the second night, in the Prince's Mansion.

Red lanterns hung in front of the door, reflecting the moonlight in the sky and illuminating the road in the mansion.

On the road, maids and eunuchs were walking back and forth, busy with their work.

Everything was normal, and there was no sign that someone had just died in the mansion.

Apart from......

Yinreng fell on the hospital bed.

The two maids on duty nearby were quietly communicating:

"In the past, whenever the prince had a headache or fever, the imperial physician from the palace would rush over. Now the prince has a high fever and is unconscious, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

"It's not that the imperial physician is unwilling to come to the house, it's that the prince is unwilling to let anyone go. He said that if anyone goes to invite him privately, he will definitely drive that person out of the house."

The maid who answered seemed to be older. She lowered her voice and secretly introduced it to the maid next to her:

"Our Prince's Mansion is different from other Beile's Mansions because it is not completely out of the palace. His Royal Highness the Prince has always been favored by the Emperor, so he has always hired an imperial physician. There is no palace physician living in the mansion."

As the two were talking, Yuan Liangsheng, who was beside the prince, came out and said, "What are you two doing standing here? Go get some ice!"

Yuan Liangsheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

"Eunuch, you forgot that we have no ice left in the warehouse..." one of the maids replied with her head down.

"How could it be?" Yuan Liangsheng was unconvinced. "Winter has just passed, and it's not summer yet when ice is used more. How could there be no ice left in the warehouse?"

Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking, looked back at the prince's room and stomped his feet.

That’s right, it’s really gone.

A few days ago, Huaqi and a group of young men drank here every night. Huaqi boasted that the prince doted on him and all the expenses in this mansion were with him.

To this end, in addition to giving a lot of things to people, he also took ice from the warehouse to cool the wine.

Although it was only March, these people from outside had never seen an ice storage before, and they came to ask for it every day.

This ice is not easy to get. Even for the empress in the palace, only those with the rank of concubine or above can use it.

Privately, Yuan Liangsheng advised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince several times not to pamper him too much as this would only invite criticism.

However, Yinreng would just wave his hand nonchalantly every time, saying that it was only March and it was not time to use ice yet. It was rare that Citibank liked one, so just go with him.

"Oh!" Yuan Liangsheng stamped his feet helplessly and asked someone to fetch some well water.

----------------------

Forbidden City, South Study.

Kangxi put his hands behind his back and walked around the room. He glanced at Sandezi from time to time and asked, "Why hasn't he responded yet?"

In the past, if Kangxi touched anything belonging to Yinreng, his son would get angry to some extent.

And now, Kangxi has already gone to the house and killed the man, so why hasn’t the prince come to see him?

Sandezi naturally knew in his heart that Kangxi and Crown Prince Yinreng were no longer as close as they used to be, but Kangxi was just unwilling to admit it.

In fact, Kangxi has thought a lot these days.

He wondered if there was something wrong with the way he taught his sons, which caused the child he had worked so hard to teach to become so ignorant.

Without waiting for San Dezi to answer, Yinsi asked for an audience at the door:

"Your Majesty, my men have captured a goshawk from outside. I think it is very brave, so I came here to present it to you, just like you do."

Although Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne in the capital, he grew up listening to Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's stories about the grasslands, and he had a longing for the areas beyond the Great Wall.

After hearing Yinsi's report, although he was still worried about Yinreng, he couldn't help but come out to take a look.

Outside the South Study, there was indeed a goshawk standing in the cage. Although it was locked up, the goshawk's feathers were still bright, and it was obviously in good spirits.

Kangxi looked at the goshawk through the cage and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Old Eight, you are thoughtful. I like this goshawk very much. Tell me, what do you want the Emperor to give you as a reward?"

Yinsi said quickly: "Thank you for your reward, Father. It is my duty to offer you a gift, but I cannot refuse the gift of the Emperor. So I would like to ask you to forgive one person."

Glancing at Yinsi, Emperor Kangxi felt that the Eighth Prince was becoming more and more obedient, so he said, "Who is this person that deserves our Eighth Prince to come and plead for him personally? Tell me, as long as he is not guilty of the most heinous crimes, I will rely on you."

Yinsi knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, he is not a member of the imperial court, but a commoner. He is Gu Mingtang, a talented scholar from Jiangnan. He is quite famous in the Sinology circle. He was imprisoned just because he forgot to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong when teaching."

"Although many Jiangnan scholars have pleaded for him, the local officials in Jiangnan have been unwilling to release him due to the imperial majesty."

"I know that the emperor has been working hard to bring the Manchus, Mongols and Han people closer over the years. You might as well forgive Gu Mingtang and take this opportunity to express the court's leniency to those prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, so that they can work harder for the court in the future."

Kangxi did not expect that the Eighth Prince would actually plead for such a person. He was moved and thought that there were still some of his sons who could understand his painstaking efforts. It seemed that his teaching of his sons was not a failure.

It was because she doted on Yinreng too much that she indulged him!

Kangxi patted the eighth brother's shoulder affectionately, and gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry as extra rewards before letting him return to his palace.

------------------

That night, the prince's fever finally subsided, but he remained drowsy and unwilling to wake up.

Eunuch Su was brave enough to secretly invite a doctor from outside.

After the doctor examined him, he said that there was nothing serious. As for the fact that he had been in a coma, perhaps he did not want to face it and instinctively escaped by sleeping.

Now, everyone was completely at a loss and could only stay by Yinreng's side and wait for him to wake up.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Yinreng finally woke up.

"Citi..."

Yinreng frowned and whispered his name. He had a terrible dream.

In his dream, he dreamed that Citi was dead and was killed by the emperor.

He wanted to rush forward to prevent it, but he was held back by countless hands from behind and could not break free.

Looking up, Yinreng saw the eunuch Su who had served him personally since childhood. He ordered, "Go and call Huaqi."

Eunuch Su lowered his head and said nothing.

Yinreng asked two more questions, suddenly turned over and got out of bed, staggering towards Citi's room.

The house was empty, except for the things he had given to Citibank as a reward.

Tears fell down.

Yinreng fell down at the door. It turned out that this was not a dream...
