Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, the atmosphere was stagnant.

Today is the official day, and the Queen Mother also came to pay her respects. "Queen, I don't know how many times I can greet you with my body, so don't try to persuade me. I will also do my filial piety for the late emperor."

Who can smile when they hear such words?Who can be in a good mood after seeing a person with a sallow complexion and skinny bones who can float when the wind blows?

not a single one.

Even the empress dowager thought: Don't come out, it will make people sad to watch.

The Empress Dowager had obviously entered the stage of getting through life, she talked about doing her filial piety for the late emperor, and seeing the old sisters, but all she brought was heartache.

Concubine Wu Gui's face was visibly stiff, she turned her head and drank tea and stopped talking.She didn't deal with the queen mother, and she had long thought that it would be great if the queen mother went, but this idea did not include the queen mother dying in front of her.Watching a healthy and healthy person suffer little by little until the fuel is exhausted and the lamp is dry, nothing but heartache is heartache.

Wanyu sat a little behind, she was faintly showing signs of falling out of favor.

Originally came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she was the most proud person in front of the Empress Dowager, she always sat on the small stool next to the Empress Dowager, the stool was a bit short and uncomfortable to sit on, but it was a kind of honor and dignity .But since the former empress was imprisoned and became a virtuous concubine in a flash, the empress dowager didn't like Wanyu very much.

According to her status as the third generation daughter-in-law of the imperial palace, Wanyu sat near the door.

The big head doesn't want to see her anymore, can Wanyu's life be easier?

No way, she is still doing well.

This time the empress was deposed, people can't help but think of the current empress dowager, although the incident was tightly concealed, but the paper can't contain the fire, the final conclusion still has something to do with Wanyu.

She has planted two queens in her hands, and the rest of them are not enough to lower their status before their surnames, so most people respect Wanyu at a respectful distance.

As for the servants in the palace's so-called watching people order food, deducting their share, etc., it must be backed by the master. Let the maids and eunuchs jump out and offend the prince and concubine by themselves.

"You really don't have the same temperament as your mother." Qing Wangfei who was sitting beside Wanyu said.

There are two rows of chairs in the Compassion Ning Palace, each with ten chairs, which are roughly divided into three small groups.The first two or three people could hear the Empress Dowager questioning, this was the most favored wave, and the middle three or five, not too small, talked about themselves.The few in the back are far away from the Empress Dowager, and they are obviously the kind of people who take up a position.Talking to the people in front of you also has to raise your voice, so it is another small group.

Wanyu is now in the last small group, after listening to Princess Qing's accusation, she smiled and said, "Do you know my mother?"

Chatting with someone about your mother is a good way to build a relationship, but since the mother is dead, the effect is greatly reduced.

"In the early years, I was in the draft with her." Princess Qing had a slight nostalgia on her face, "Your mother is a transparent person, if it weren't for... she is also a person with great fortune. Now it is you, and it is the same." The memory ends , the expression on Princess Qing's face seemed to say something that shouldn't be said, she was a little embarrassed, and said: "Hey, look how I told you this."

Wanyu had a formulaic smile on her face, she was not at all curious about this.Her parents have a very good relationship, so there's no need to provoke dissension, it's useless.

Wanyu didn't answer the question.

"Cough, it happened many years ago, why do you keep mentioning those things." The voice was gentle and soft, and it belonged to Yin, the concubine of Kang Qi, the eldest son of the first emperor.

The Yin family was sitting under Wanyu, and because Kant fell in front of him, his job of repairing the imperial mausoleum was rejected by Kang Qi.It is not a good job to build the imperial mausoleum, and it will take more than ten years to build it slowly, so the Yin family is very grateful to Wanyu.

She and Kang Qi didn't get along very well.

So ever since Wanyu sat over, Yin Shi expressed kindness to her from time to time.

"Yes." Wan Yu smiled at Yin Shi, the corners of her eyes turned to Princess Qing. "I'm already married, and my mother drafted the show. If it weren't for... not many people would remember it."

This clearly means that Princess Qing is telling lies.But before she could think of anything to refute, a group of guards rushed into the Ci Ning Palace, the leader said: "Your Majesty has an order, Princess Xuan Qing is going to ask questions!"

They were talking about questioning, but this posture was obviously in the rhythm of arresting people. The Compassionate Ning Palace was full of pampered nobles and wives. Where had I seen this scene before? It was a mess for a while.

The older one was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair, while the younger one was busy avoiding people.

Concubine Qing was sitting next to Wanyu, the guards didn't dare to attack her, they stood in front of her, and the one who led the way did a thousand things, "Princess, please."

When the guards rushed in, Wanyu and Yin Shi had already held hands and hid in the curtain behind the door. They came out only when the guards retreated.

The Compassionate Ning Palace is already full of people.

The Empress Dowager pouted again, and the Empress Dowager said bluntly: "Unfilial son!" I don't know whether it is the Prince of Qing or the Emperor who scolded.

At this time, it was Aunt Cuizhu who came out to speak. She dismissed the irrelevant people first, and then sent someone to invite the imperial physician.Wanyu doesn't know what happened next, she is also an irrelevant person now.

Wanyu and Yin's went out of the Cining Palace together, one went to the south three houses, and the other wanted to leave the palace through the Shenwu Gate in the north.After walking two steps, Yin said: "A man from this family!" After speaking, he snorted.

But no, Wanyu also wanted to scold.

Let the guards directly rush into the Palace of Compassion and Ning to arrest people. The queen mother is not his real mother, and the empress dowager is not his real grandmother.

When I went back to the Nansan Institute, I asked, how is it? It is said that the Qing prince was angry.

When the Qing prince was building the imperial mausoleum, he slept with two young eunuchs in front of his ancestors. Of course, this is Kant's euphemism.

"Why is Second Uncle so confused?" After closing the door, Kant dared to complain to Wanyu.However, there are two explanations for this sentence. One is that the second uncle did something stupid, and the other is that the second uncle is so stupid that he was unprepared to be framed.

This Prince Qing is so old and has two young eunuchs, Wanyu was also shocked.She doesn't know how old Prince Qing is, but she knows that Prince Qing has an older brother, the First Emperor, who is as old as her father, so this Prince Qing is at least forty-five years old.

"Supposedly it shouldn't be." Wanyu thought for a while about the comments she had heard about Prince Qing, and said: "He has been a general for so many years, so he should be a strong-willed person, but he doesn't look like it anyway, I'm afraid he misunderstood Bar."

What a misunderstanding, he was framed by someone. "Let's have a look again." Kang De said.

The imperial mausoleum is a few days away from the capital, and it takes three to five days to come and go.The palace was barely calm, but the outside of the palace was already jittery.

Lin Ruhai scolded the emperor while jumping around at home.

Too impatient, framed people don't take such framed, rough enough to know at a glance that someone has set him up.Prince Qing has been abstaining from desires for the past few decades, and he has not been to the imperial mausoleum for a month, so he is so anxious?

Moreover, Prince Qing is so easy to catch?The emperor thought too simply.

It took two days for Prince Qing's incident to spread to the capital, and two days for the emperor to send someone to arrest Prince Qing after he was furious. Four days of coming and going was enough for Prince Qing to prepare.

Lin Ruhai only hoped that the emperor would think of this in advance, it was an excuse that he only thought of after he controlled Prince Qing, otherwise, according to Prince Qing's temper, it would be possible to lead troops directly into the capital, and then...he would really plan to rebel.

Early the next morning, the emperor was messed up again.

He arrested his seventh uncle again...

Lin Ruhai was already so angry that she didn't know where to complain.

The emperor's own father is dead, and the emperor can't learn anything from him. There is only one emperor in the palace, who is still a fool. Could it be that the emperor learned from him?

Why didn't he follow the rules?

Putting aside distracting thoughts and eagerness to complain, and leaving aside the emperor's declining IQ, just look at this change of throne.

The emperor was actually very successful, but I don't know if he used up his intelligence when he usurped the throne, and the rest of the rest were all stupid tricks.

When did the first emperor die, the end of July, and what time is it now? It's not yet the twelfth lunar month.In this short period of 120 days, the queen was deposed, and the two brothers of the first emperor were imprisoned one after another.

The emperor also plans to take action against his brothers, and eliminate dissidents when he is in power?He is not in such a hurry, the only explanation is that he has usurped the throne, and what he has to do now is to kill all those who might overthrow him.

It's the kind of mentality of "everyone in the world is dead, and then I can only be the emperor".

Lin Ruhai can see it, so can other people see it?

……

Wanyu was still having dinner in the morning, and Ruile, who lived next door to her house, brought his newlywed wife to visit.Hesitating in his mouth, he faltered and asked for a long time: "Does the Bodhisattva have any explicit instructions, can my seventh brother and second brother hide this time?" If they can't escape, will it be me next, Ruile Very worried.And he was wronged, he is completely the role of an innocent passer-by, Rui Le is actually not very good at anything, the previous emperor did not focus on training him, and the first emperor was on guard against him, if he was placed in an ordinary family, he could be said to be proficient in poetry and books, But if you put it in the royal family, your proficiency will drop several levels and become a little proficient.

Wanyu persuaded him for a long time before telling him to leave, but she also felt that it was not very good when she looked back.Ever since she killed the queen, she knew everything that Kant knew about the important affairs of the court.

So...if the emperor starts to mess up, wouldn't her father be safe, and then she still has a husband?Regardless of whether it is beauty in the eye of the beholder or not, at least in Wanyu's eyes, Kant is one of the best, even if he is not the dragon and the phoenix, and it is not a loss to occupy half of the thorn in the eye.

After thinking about it, the imperial doctor who came to ask for Ping'an pulse arrived.

At this time, even the eunuchs in the palace bent their waists much lower than usual, for fear that their heads would be chopped off if they were too high.But the imperial doctor was very calm, took the pulse pillow without haste, and put it on Wanyu's wrist.

"Has the princess slept well these days?"

Wanyu nodded.

The imperial doctor said again: "I feel a little impetuous when I feel the pulse of the princess. There are many things today, and the princess must take care of herself."

There is something in the words?Wanyu hummed, and said, "Go get some tea."

There are two court ladies in Wanyu's room, one is assigned by the palace, and the other is Yi Bai who came in with her.The work of pouring tea must not be allowed to the concubine's confidants, so the little maid assigned by the palace went out.

The imperial doctor raised his eyes and looked at Yi Bai, who was obviously much older than the court lady, and said: "I served in the Qing prince's army in the early years. The first emperor was killed, and the throne of this one is unknown."

Before he could finish speaking, Wanyu interrupted him. "I'm a woman." Wanyu felt puzzled, and if she didn't look for Kant or Lin Ruhai, it wouldn't be of much use to tell her.

The imperial physician spoke quickly, "There are people watching those two, only your place is safe." After the imperial physician explained this sentence, he returned to the topic. "Prince Qing has evidence in his hand, and he has united with many people. We must take him down."

After saying these two sentences, the maid serving tea came back again.

The imperial doctor returned to his slow old man's appearance, and said: "The weather is cold and dry, the princess needs to drink more water."

After sending the imperial physician away, Wanyu began to ponder.Today's words can be regarded as a temptation at most, after all, there is no plan, no trump cards, no one can fool anyone with just these two sentences.

Precisely because the imperial physician's words were obviously just tentative words, Wanyu thought that Prince Qing would not be able to rebel for the time being, and guessed that he should be pushed back by the emperor's people on the surface, and as for the actual situation, we can only wait and see at that time.

It is true that the emperor is a bit angry and resentful. Listening to Kant's words, he is full of dissatisfaction. It is said that there are more and more people who do not speak in the early court.

If we really change the emperor...

Leaving aside the possibility, Wanyu voted for her father first. Having an emperor father is much safer than having an emperor husband. After all, husbands can be changed, and there is only one father.

Wanyu shivered, and hastily stopped her terrible thought, and then she began to think, if she joins in the fun with Prince Qing, will she still be able to win the throne in the future?

Wanyu recalled the words about the emperor that were not mentioned in the original book again. In short, the Seventh Emperor uncle married to her cousin Yuanchun cannot be the emperor, otherwise all her efforts to plan so much would be in vain.

But now it seems that the Seventh Emperor Uncle is unlikely to be the emperor, so even if the Qing prince becomes the emperor... no, the Qing prince is not as good as Kant.

Wanyu thought about the Wanmin Umbrella in Father Lin's study, and the officials who usually came to visit her home, etc.If you hold the banner of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty or avenge the late emperor, there is probably no big problem, and the background of the family is enough for civil servants, and the side of the military officer... I have to discuss it with my father.

It is impossible for Mao Maoran to say that he wants to see his father, there is no such rule in the palace.

So what to do?If we can't meet in public, then we can only meet in private.

Either she disguised herself as a court lady and went out of the palace, or Father Lin pretended to be an eunuch and stayed in the palace, and risked being discovered.

Another way is to dig a tunnel.

Both the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Palace of Kunning have authentic tunnels, Tongjing Mountain to the north, and a tunnel to the west, but it has been abandoned for a long time.

Then if she opened another one in Nansan Institute, it would not be regarded as destroying cultural relics.Counting the time, Wanyu felt that she should be able to dig a crude tunnel from Nansan to her home before Prince Qing entered Beijing.
