[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

The affair of the former crown prince's suicide caused a lot of uproar, and to some extent, it was even bigger than the incident of the former crown prince forcing the palace.

After all, it is common for the prince to force the palace, and it is unprecedented for the princess to burn the East Palace.

No one knew why the Crown Princess did that, but the final result was that everyone in the capital was so frightened that they closed their doors tightly and hardly dared to go to the streets.These people don't have a source of news, so they are naturally worried that they will be caught if they say something wrong.

Now that the emperor is very angry, being caught at this time is not just going to jail, I'm afraid he will lose his head.

The emperor's confidants and ministers are more informed than ordinary people, but facing the news they just received, they find it difficult, wishing they never knew the news——

The former crown prince had a daughter with a certain brothel woman.

This child changed hands through the Ningguo Mansion and arrived at the Yangshengtang. Now, Qin Ye, the former prince's confidant, has adopted him as an adopted daughter.

And this news was obtained by the emperor by pressing Jia Zhen.

These people only knew that a baby had appeared in Ningguo Mansion, but no one paid attention to the child who had appeared in Rongguo Mansion.After all, no one would have imagined that someone would be so bold as to play "civet cat for prince" under everyone's noses.

Therefore, after these people knew about Qin Keqing's existence, and found out that the brothel girl was indeed in close contact with the late prince, they directly believed that she was the only surviving child of the late prince.

In the eyes of these people, this is already the only blood of the late prince.

Because of the matter of the crown prince, now the emperor feels the most guilt towards the prince, so the only blood of the former prince, even if it is only a daughter, is extraordinarily noble.

It's a pity that the child's biological mother is really not on the stage.

These people were worried that the emperor would recognize the child as the princess of the royal family because of his guilt towards the former prince.They were also worried that the emperor would call them to the imperial study to discuss the matter after today's court meeting.

In order to let the emperor get rid of this idea, several ministers typed up countless drafts and rehearsed countless times at home before they got a "suggestion" that was barely satisfactory and the tone was unmistakable. Questioning in the study.

Even when they were waiting outside the gate of the main hall to go to court, each of them was still muttering words, lest they might make mistakes or omit words when discussing with the emperor how to deal with Qin Keqing.

However, from the last court to the next court, the emperor did not mention this matter at all.

Confidant ministers: "..."

But that's a good thing.After they were lost, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when they saw that the emperor pretended not to know about it and asked Qin Ye to continue raising the former prince's daughter, they were even more relieved and really relieved.

They didn't know that the emperor was looking for this child with great fanfare, just because he still held the hope that the child would be a boy, but now he found that the child was just a girl, and he couldn't continue the incense for the former prince at all. The emperor's enthusiasm was naturally greatly reduced. He didn't pay much attention to the existence of this child.

After Qin Ye took him home, he treated him as his own and raised him well.

After careful consideration, the emperor finally chose to pretend not to know the existence of this embarrassing child.

After the imperial court, Lin Ruhai's immediate superior, the current doctor of Lantai Temple, walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice: "What I told you before, you must not tell the third person, otherwise people will know that you will also agree with me." Knowing the facts, I am afraid you will not be able to maintain your current neutral position.”

Lin Ruhai naturally knew the seriousness, and nodded quickly when he got the reminder: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will keep their mouths shut and will never let others know."

Jia Min is his wife, so naturally she is not an outsider.

Doctor Lantai Temple nodded: "It's good that you know."

After a pause, he asked again, "I asked you to inquire about the news before, but there is no result?"

The doctor of Lantai Temple naturally knows that this matter is of great importance, and he should not let others know easily.But the other person involved in this matter is Lin Ruhai's in-law Jia Zhen who lives next door to the Rongguo Mansion.

After he knew this, he always felt that Jia Zhen had concealed other things.

Coupled with the fact that the time of Jia Zhen's wife's death was too close to the time when Qin Keqing appeared in Ningguo Mansion, he always suspected that the death of Jia Zhen's wife was inextricably linked to Jia Zhen.

The doctor of Lantai Temple is a big brain. He always thinks that Mrs. Jia Zhen's death is directly caused by him.

In other words, he felt that Jia Zhen was the murderer of his wife.

It's just that he has a bad relationship with Jia Zhen, and he can't find a suitable excuse to come to investigate.So I could only find a way to ask Lin Ruhai to find an opportunity to come and inquire, to see if he had heard similar rumors.

If so, he will impeach him when he is in court, and after the emperor's attention is drawn, he will naturally let the officials of Dali Temple come to investigate.

Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I've never heard any rumors about this."

He wanted to say, after all, Jia Zhen's wife was a living person, and she couldn't be murdered just because she broke a certain secret of Jia Zhen, and no one would avenge her after she died.

But Lin Ruhai knew better that Mrs. Jia Zhen's death was definitely not his idea alone——

At that time, the first prince was not dead, so no matter what important matters were discussed, the first prince was the one who took the lead.If Jia Zhen wanted to kill his wife, wouldn't she ask the first prince for instructions?If the former crown prince did not allow Jia Zhen to kill his wife, would Jia Zhen dare not listen?

And since Mrs. Jia Zhen is dead, it is enough to explain the attitude of the first prince.

Even if the truth is found out, the emperor may not agree to expose the truth, and even for the sake of Jia Zhen's mouth, he may turn black and white and cover up the matter.

So it doesn't really matter whether it's true or not.

If he told the doctor of Lantai Temple about this matter, after the emperor knew the truth, he and this upright doctor of Lantai Temple might really be remembered by the emperor.

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he cupped his hands: "If your lord has nothing to do, I will resign first and go to deal with official duties."

The doctor of Lantai Temple still believed in himself as a subordinate, so he waved his hand and asked people to leave.

It was another busy day, and by the time the time came, Lin Ruhai already had a sore back and back pain, wishing he could just sit on the stool and not get up.

Seeing this, the colleague joked a few words in good faith, and the two went out together and left Yushifu.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Ruhai went directly to Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing Lin Ruhai coming in, Jia Mu's eyes flickered, and she said, "Why did you think of coming to the house today? Didn't I tell you before that you don't come here if you have nothing to do? If you want to see me, the little Guiling's full moon banquet in half a month's time, I'll be there myself."

Lin Ruhai was startled: "The old lady beat me to death..."

Mother Jia raised her hand, stopped Lin Ruhai from speaking next, and said with a smile, "Recently there have been a lot of things going on in the house. When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had neglected a lot of the children in the house. I thought that Min'er would stay with you all day long. At home, there is no one to talk to, so I am thinking about sending the three children in the family to the Lin family for a period of time."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun are brought up by the second elder brother Zheng and the second sister-in-law Zheng, and they are a bit old, so Min'er can't stop being naughty, so they don't have to be sent to my house, right?"

Mother Jia nodded unsurprisingly: "Then on the day when little Guiling is full moon, I will personally send Lian'er to your house. If you are naughty, you can just hit him, don't worry about me, old woman!"
