Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Wan Yu just came in, Wu Shi finished offering incense and was about to leave, she wanted to say a few more words but was afraid of being seen by someone who cared, so she just nodded and was about to pass by.

"The Layman is here." At this time, Master Lianyin greeted Wanyu, but she didn't know whether she was intentional or intentional, "You come every time for the Buddhist rituals in the nunnery, and the Bodhisattva will be happy to see you."

Wu's eyes lit up when she heard this sentence, the ceremony is on the [-]th day of every month, if you come every time, you won't be afraid that you won't have the chance to meet each other.As a result, her complexion improved a lot, and she nodded slightly at Master Lianyin, "Master, next time you have a ritual, the believer wants to offer two scriptures in front of the Bodhisattva."

It was Master Lianyin who said this, but his face was directed at Wanyu, Wanyu smiled slightly, and Mrs. Wu took the three children and left.

The decree of abolishing the crown prince did not include treason, which everyone knew well, not even the four words of leading troops into the palace. Instead, it said that there was a lack of virtue, which was the crime the emperor condemned to the crown prince.

For this reason, Lin Ruhai also vaguely talked about it to Wanyu later, firstly, the prince was taught by the emperor himself, and he rebelled against him, and there was also a sense of embarrassment in the emperor's teaching.Secondly, it was Lin Ruhai's selfish speculation. After all, it was related to his interests. He always felt that his guess was biased: he didn't explain the reason, it was because the emperor didn't intend to abolish the crown prince!Or the emperor regretted it.

You can see a thing or two from the handling of the whole thing.

First, the prince led troops into the palace on the first night, and was later taken down by the emperor. At that time, the prince was kneeling in the hall wearing armor.The armor was still worn at night, as well as the group of soldiers who entered the palace with swords, what the prince planned to do, he didn't need to think about it.

But when the emperor was furious, all the ministers were fined to kneel for two days and then sent home, and then went to the palace, the armor disappeared.This is not because the emperor is kind. You must know that the armor on the third and fourth princes has not been replaced. The fourth prince still has a knife wound on his arm. It was ripped from the hem of someone's clothes.

Then there was the vague statement. The situation was urgent at that time, and there was no time to think about it. I always thought that the emperor was heartbroken. Now that I think about it, the possibility of repentance is not small.

Even the members of the princelings were liquidated. It can be said that the emperor hated it deeply, but it can also be said that the emperor did it for the prince's good, so he dealt with all the officials around him who taught him to be bad. It is a bit far-fetched, but it is not unreasonable.

The crown prince was abolished, but he still lives in the Yuqing Palace where only the crown prince can live. Well, this residence is restricted, but does it also show that the emperor has softened his heart?

If you really think about it in this way, the deaths of the three and four princes can also be explained as the emperor wanting to kill people and get rid of all the insiders that night.

Wanyu kept thinking about this question on the way home, and Wu Shi, if she can call the prince by his real name, does it imply that she is close to the prince and what errands the prince has entrusted to her?

When she got home, Wanyu went to Lin Ruhai's study to say hello, but she didn't tell Lin Ruhai when she saw the prince's concubine, she just had a face-to-face meeting, and it wouldn't be too late to come back if she really said something.

However, Lin Ruhai's complexion was a little uneasy.What's going on here?Wanyu asked a few side-by-side questions, but Lin Ruhai's face became darker and darker, which made her a little scared, and hurriedly said "go and see my sister", and left.

"Who came to the house today? Why do I feel that my father's face is not very good." Wanyu asked as soon as she entered the door.

Daiyu was practicing calligraphy, and when she heard Wanyu come in, she naturally lost her sense of using the brush. She put the brush on the inkstone and said, "I didn't hear that there were any guests coming. By the way, it seems that I heard that the Ning Mansion is holding a wedding today, so I didn't invite you." Father."

"Father can be upset about this?" It's impossible to think about it with her toes, Wanyu went to Daiyu's bed, "His face has turned black, it's scary."

"I heard that the bride's surname is Qin." Daiyu thought for a while and added.

Wanyu immediately regained her spirits, she got up from the bed, she knew only one family whose surname was Qin, and said, "I'll go ask."

This question really revealed an acquaintance, Qin Keqing.Wanyu suddenly felt like she was looking at flowers in a fog. Didn't she say that Qin Keqing was not the illegitimate daughter of the deposed prince? Wasn't this marriage promiscuous?Why did you start committing suicide again?

What is the purpose of Ning's mansion marrying such a daughter-in-law who seems not at all well-matched on the surface?Could it be that Qin Keqing really has something to do with the royal family?But she is definitely not the daughter of the abolished prince. The abolished prince has no chance to commit crimes.

Who else?Wanyu went through it again. According to Qin Keqing's age, if she were the prince's illegitimate daughter, she would be ranked up to the fifth prince at most, and it would be impossible for her to go down. In addition, the third and fourth two have already died. Marry them under their names. Her own daughter has nothing to gain, and Wanyu doesn't believe that marrying a daughter-in-law in a place like Ning Mansion really only considers character and appearance.

So it's either the second child or the fifth child?Or... Considering that the young king of Beijing County also came when Qin Keqing was going to be buried, maybe it was his family.

No, the Ning Mansion's ambition is probably not too small, and it must be linked to the next emperor.

This dinner was boring, and the minds of the two people who could adjust the atmosphere were all filled. One Wanyu was going back and forth between Qin Keqing and the deposed prince, and Lin Ruhai was thinking of his dead wife. The mother of a child, Jia Min.

Why?Because the spies he sent out didn't come back with any news, let's put aside the fact that they couldn't find any news for the time being, let's talk about why those two people did something to Jia Min.

What can Jia Min's death or immortality affect?Or someone she had offended, who could have started doing it 15 years ago.

Fifteen years ago, Jia Mincai had just married into the Lin family for two years. What kind of enemies could a girl raised in a deep boudoir have?The only person who has a bad relationship is her natal sister-in-law, but can Mrs. Wang kill others because of a few quarrels?And why did it take 15 years to start.

Therefore, their target should not be Jia Min. Besides Jia Min, there are Lin Ruhai and three children in the Lin Mansion. Who would have trouble with the children?Looking at it this way, the target is Lin Ruhai herself, the most likely possibility.But Lin Ruhai couldn't figure it out, what did he do during that time?He has just been promoted to a cabinet bachelor.

Because it was discovered late, there is no evidence in Lin's mansion, but looking at Ye Pozi's errands, the only two places that can basically be used are boiling water and boiling medicine, so it is very likely that it was in the water where the medicine was added. and was drunk by Jia Min.

These too are analyses, not confirmed.

Another point is that since 15 years ago, there are really not many people who have been able to make arrangements, especially since Lin Ruhai can't find any news, there are even fewer people in this circle.

Being involved with Lin Ruhai, who has been in power since 15 years ago and can still stand for 15 years, there is really no one else except the emperor's family.

Fifteen years ago, Lin Ruhai was 15 years old. The prince grew up with him. He had never been out of the palace except with the emperor on tour. The second prince was 24 years old and had been out of the palace for two years. The third prince was 22 years old and still lived in the palace.

The emperor also has four brothers, Dongping County King, Nan'an County King, Xining County King and Beijing County King.The king of Nan'an County has military power, and the king of Beijing County passed away last year and passed the throne to his son.Both Dongping and Xining are idle clans, apart from appearing at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve every year, they usually don't interact at all.

Lin Ruhai shuddered suddenly, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he felt that it was actually quite good to be refrigerated in the Imperial Academy.

Lin Ruhai didn't tell anyone about her conjecture, so Wanyu still thoughtlessly counted the days to see the deposed prince's concubine.

This time there seemed to be a tacit understanding, and the two of them went quite early.After burning incense in the main hall, the two walked towards the back mountain silently.The back mountain of Guanyin Nunnery is actually a scenic area, and it is also a scenic area that belongs to VIPs. Today this area is completely owned by the two of them.

Wu walked in front, holding her daughter with her left hand, followed by her two sons, while Wanyu was half a step behind, walking at the back.

"I remember that there is a gazebo at the corner in front, how about we go and sit there?" Wanyu suggested after walking for a while, after admiring the flowers and trees that were completely unidentifiable.

Mrs. Wu nodded, and said to the children while walking, "I won't let you go, but you can't run too far, just walk around the gazebo and don't leave my sight."

The implicit meaning here is: I have something to say to this person, just find a place where I can see but not hear.Wanyu understood, and thought that even though she hadn't seen anyone these days, her skills had not declined.

The gazebo is often used by people, and there are all kinds of cushions and other things. After the two sat down respectively.Wu looked at the children outside, and said sadly: "Ruiyong and the concubine live in the palace, I feel sorry for these children. Last time when Jingqi was ill, I went to the palace to beg the empress several times, but I didn't let the concubine. Come out and have a look. Later, Jingqi recovered from her illness, but she lost a lot of weight, and I heard from the nanny that she cried several times at night."

Wanyu thought for a while, and said: "I think the nature of father and son will always be indelible. Princess Jingqi is also old, so you don't have to worry too much."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu turned sideways and whispered: "I heard that the girl has seen Guanyin appear many times. I wonder if the girl can pray for the Bodhisattva for Princess Jingqi. The princess will get married next year, and her parents must be present."

Wanyu recited the Buddha's name and said: "The Bodhisattva is merciful, as long as the heart is firm, the Bodhisattva will hear it."

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Now we live outside, although we can still enter the palace, but it's not easy to see the prince and concubine, it's nothing more than saying safe through the door."

Wan Yu accompanied her with a sigh, and said: "When I entered the palace, the empress took good care of me. If the empress enters the palace next time, she will also say hello to the empress for me."

Mrs. Wu agreed with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty has also mentioned you to me several times, otherwise how could I recognize you as soon as we met last time. But now you have filial piety on your body, so you won't be able to enter the palace."

Wanyu smiled, but said nothing.

In the first round of trials, both parties were quite satisfied.Wanyu knew that although the abolished prince was shameful, the news could be passed on.

As for the Wu family, after three days, he came to Guanyin Nunnery again, invited back the scriptures he enshrined, and went directly to the palace to give it to the queen.

"Queen, she said that she has a way, but only in front of you."
