In the cold palace, Uya sat in the yard, looking at the blue sky above her head. She kept thinking about why she had come to this point. She was supposed to be the queen mother, so why did she end up living in the cold palace with no one paying attention to her?
She had already forgotten how many years she had lived in the cold palace. She had even forgotten what she had done, and even why she lived in the cold palace, she had completely forgotten. But even so, she always had one thought in her mind: hatred for the fourth brother.
The fourth brother clearly knew everything and knew that she was his biological mother, but he still treated him so cruelly. He was already Prince Yong, and his status was so noble. As long as he was willing to plead with the emperor, the emperor would definitely let her go, even if it meant moving her out of the cold palace.
But the fourth brother did nothing, and never even came to visit her once. She really hated him in her heart.
"Mother, your son is here to see you."
Following the sound, Uya saw Fourteenth walking in with two palace maids. They were holding four or five bundles in their hands, which probably contained some seasonal clothes and food. It turned out that her Fourteenth still cared about her all the time.
They would come to visit her almost every half a month, which was why no palace servants dared to bully her even though she was in the cold palace.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?" Fourteen squatted in front of her and looked up at her.
Wu Ya reached out and touched Fourteen's forehead.
"Fourteen, was the emperor nice to you this time?"
At this time, Yinreng had already become the emperor, and Kangxi had already retired in Changchun Garden.
Fourteen nodded, "The Emperor is very kind to me and my fourth brother."
"The Emperor is so kind to your fourth brother. As long as he is willing to plead for mercy, Mother will be released. So, Fourteen, go find your fourth brother and ask him to go to the Emperor to plead for mercy, okay?
Fourteen was a little embarrassed, but after thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Mother, there is no need to bother. I will go to the emperor to plead for mercy later."
Wu Ya hurriedly grabbed Fourteen's hand and said, "You are not allowed to go to the Emperor to plead for mercy. Let Fourth Prince do it."
Fourteen was a little confused. "Mother, it doesn't matter who comes to find my fourth brother, right?"
Wu Ya shook her head. "How is that the same? The Emperor hates me. If you go to plead for mercy, it will inevitably implicate you. The Fourth Brother has always had a close relationship with him. As long as the Fourth Brother pleads for mercy, the Emperor won't vent his anger on him."
Fourteen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
When he was young, his mother always said bad things about his fourth brother in front of him. At that time, he really hated his fourth brother and felt that he was an unkind and unfilial brother who was not worthy of being a son.
But as he grew older and learned about what his mother had done, he only felt sorry for his fourth brother.
Now that he heard his mother say this, he felt even more guilty towards his fourth brother. How could he have the nerve to let his fourth brother do this?
Then he looked at Uya and said, "Mother, we are all your sons. No matter where the emperor sent us, you are our biological mother. This will never change."
"I know you've always been partial to me. Since you were partial to me before, I'll plead for you now, which is worthy of your partiality."
After saying this, he stood up and walked out regardless of Uya's attempts to stop him. The two palace maids who followed him also followed him out, making Uya so angry that she cursed behind him, "You heartless thing, if you go to the emperor, you will owe him a huge favor. Why don't you let the fourth son go? "
Fourteenth didn't want to dwell on these words anymore, but he had just come out of the cold palace and met Fourth outside the cold palace.
The two brothers looked at each other from a distance, one with a calm expression and the other with a guilty look.
Fourteenth pondered for a long while before walking towards the fourth brother. "Fourth brother, you heard everything mother said. I didn't understand why you never came to visit her before, but now I understand. Fourth brother, what mother said just now must have hurt you very much. I don't ask you to forgive mother, but I will never say such hurtful words again. Let me plead for mother."
The fourth brother looked at Fourteen for a long time and finally nodded.
The two brothers walked out hand in hand. The fourth brother went straight out of the palace, while the fourteenth brother went to the emperor to plead for mercy.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the emperor would definitely not agree, but as a son, since he had already promised Uya, he had to do it no matter what the result was.
Sure enough, things turned out just as he expected.
The emperor rejected Fourteenth's request simply on the grounds that it was his father's wish to send Uya to the cold palace.
Fourteenth Master didn't say anything else. After he left, He Yuzhu said, "Fourteenth Master just came back from the cold palace. I heard that Fourth Master was there too. I wonder what these two masters talked about."
Yinreng rubbed his temple and said, "Let's deal with today's affairs here. He Yuzhu, please arrange for us to leave the palace."
He Yuzhu agreed and went to make arrangements. Soon, the two of them arrived at Prince Yong's mansion with their guards.
The fourth brother did not expect that Yinreng would come out of the palace to find him. After a few words, he found out that it was because of the Uya family.
The fourth brother smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. What she said can't hurt me now, but I still want to thank you for coming out to comfort me."
Yinreng looked at his forced appearance and could not help but smile bitterly, "Fourth Brother, why are you doing this? Just say it out if you have any grievances in your heart. Uya has treated you badly, but you know in your heart that you still hope she will live a good life, even...
You have been keeping an eye on her secretly, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to the cold palace, right?"
The fourth brother lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Yinreng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I heard that your relationship with Fourteenth has eased a lot now."
The fourth brother nodded and repeated what he and the fourteenth brother had said in front of the cold palace.
After hearing this, Yinreng nodded and said, "Fourteen has indeed grown up. He is no longer as mischievous as before."
It was a rare occasion for the two brothers to meet outside the palace, so Yinzhen said, "Since my second brother is out of the palace, let's have dinner at my house today."
Yinreng agreed with a smile.
The servants set up the dining table in the garden in the front yard. Today was a good day with a suitable temperature. They had their meal in the garden while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
As the two brothers ate, they could not help recalling the past. The sorrows from before gradually faded away, and only the happy laughter of the two brothers could be heard from the garden from time to time.
"Old Four, don't keep things to yourself from now on. It will make your brain sick."
Yinzhen was surprised and looked at Yinreng with some confusion, "What disease could it be?"
Yinreng just smiled but did not answer him.
It was not until midnight that Yinzhen realized that he had been fooled by his second brother who always behaved well.
