After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 98 The Source of Poison

No wonder Xia Dequan was so surprised. Princess Haijing was not someone else, but the younger sister of the late emperor, the aunt of the current emperor. Not long after her birth, Princess Haijing was taken to the Qianqing Palace and raised by the late emperor himself. much spoiled.

Decades ago, Russia came to propose marriage. Princess Haijing married to Russia for the sake of peace, and became the queen of Russia after the death of the old tsar.

The peace between the Great Jin Dynasty and Russia for so many years has something to do with the sacrifice of Princess Haijing back then. With her status, what do you want, let alone the mere Tianshan snow lotus?

Furthermore, if the princess really wants Tianshan snow lotus, she only needs to write a letter and tell Emperor Pingkang that she and Emperor Pingkang are aunts and nephews who grew up together. The dark guards came to ask them for Tianshan snow lotus.

Of course... the most important thing is that Xia De fully understands that Princess Haijing passed away a few years ago, just to avoid court turmoil, this matter was not widely announced, and not many people in the Jin Dynasty knew about it Well, how could a dead person ask for anything more from the Dark Guard camp?

But looking at the official letter with Princess Haijing's mark on it...

Xia Dequan pondered for a long time, "I'll go there myself to see that person."

If he guessed correctly, the one who really wants Tianshan Snow Lotus is probably someone else.

Sure enough, when Xia Dequan arrived there, it was none other than Steward Mo that he saw.

Steward Mo saluted Xia Dequan, and said with a smile, "Ling Yi has met Eunuch."

"It really is you." Xia De showed emotion all over his face, "I thought you followed the princess to Russia."

The Dark Guard Battalion is ranked based on strength, and the number zero one in the Dark Guard Battalion shows its ability.

Back then, the late emperor loved his younger sister far more than his own son, and he gave his precious little sister first, and then it was Emperor Pingkang's turn. Naturally, the masters in the dark guard camp gave the princess first, but he didn't expect that, It turns out that Zero One has been staying in the capital all these years.

Butler Mo said with a smile: "The princess is worried about the little master, and keeps the old servant in Beijing to serve the little master."

It's also a good thing that he stayed, otherwise the old man would have to look for this medicine everywhere.

Xia Dequan nodded slightly, there is no impenetrable wall, he had already found out one or two of Jia She's life experience, but...

He really couldn't figure it out, how could the princess have sex with Jia Daishan?

To put it bluntly, the princess mainly showed some interest in Jia Daishan back then, and there was no need to wait for the Russian tsar to propose marriage.

Not to mention a child was born between the two of them?Is it rare that the Russian Tsar is dead?You don't care if you put such a big green hat on your head?

Xia Dequan has great confidence in his intelligence network. Since his people found out that Jia Amnesty was born to Princess Haijing, he must be the son of Princess Haijing; as for whether Jia Amnesty is Jia Daishan's own son...

There is no need to ask, anyone who has met Jia Daishan will know that Jia She's appearance is the same as Jia Daishan's. If it is said that he is not the father and son, who will believe it.

Butler Mo was also a little embarrassed about this, "Ahem, that incident back then was just an accident, as for the Russian Tsar..."

Speaking of this, Butler Mo paused strangely, showing a bit of a weird look, "It can only be said that you will get used to it."

"What!?"

Butler Mo briefly explained that in Russia, finding a lover after marriage is nothing. The second sons of many families are actually illegitimate children.

The old Russian tsar already had an heir, no matter how old he was, he was the grandfather of Princess Haijing, and marrying Princess Haijing was just for the sake of stability between Dajin and Russia, not really treating Princess Haijing as his wife.

Even the old tsar encouraged the princess to find another lover to pass the time because he was too old to stay with the princess, so he didn't take the fact that Princess Haijing had an illegitimate child at all.

At the beginning, the old tsar kindly asked Princess Haijing if she wanted to keep Jia Amnesty in Russia. How can I say that a proper prince cannot escape after all, but Princess Haijing refused. She chose Send Jia Amnesty back to the Jia family and let him grow up as the eldest son of the Jia family.

As for Ling Yi, it was one of the insiders that Princess Haijing specially sent back to protect Jia Amnesty, but as time passed, many of the hidden guards and maidservants who were sent back back then were old and dead, and they are now Only Butler Mo was left alive.

Originally, neither Jia Daishan nor Princess Haijing had any intention to let people know about Jia She's life experience. It was also this time that Jia She was poisoned and had to use the Tianshan snow lotus that was more than a hundred years old to save his life. Steward Mo had no choice but to use the life-saving talisman left by Princess Haijing , so I beg Tianshan Snow Lotus for help.

Xia Dequan frowned slightly, and taught dissatisfiedly: "How can you bully the Holy Majesty for such a big matter? If the Holy Majesty finds out, will you let that bitch of the Jia Shi family teach the Elder Master like this?"

Xia Dequan directly called Jia Mu as a bitch, which shows that he is extremely dissatisfied with Jia Mu.

Thinking about the first princess's fame, giving birth to a son and being taught to be such a waste, he just wanted to beat Jia Daishan, that bastard who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife!

Even though Jia Shishi is Jia Daishan's official wife in name, but in Xia Dequan's heart, compared with Princess Haijing, Jia Shishi is just a concubine!And it's still the most unreliable kind!

Butler Mo said with a helpless smile: "The princess doesn't want others to know about the elder master's life experience, besides, the princess only hopes that the elder master can be his wealthy idler for the rest of his life."

Back then when they saw the Elder Master being taught badly by Jia Shishi, they were not angry, and they wrote to inform the princess, but the princess only wanted Jia She to be a rich and idle person, as long as they stared at Jia Shishi, they would not harm the Elder Master. Well, they have nothing to do.

"Stupid!" Xia Dequan kept on cursing because he was in control so much, "Jia Daishan is blind and doesn't know right from wrong. The princess is a queen of a foreign race, so it's hard to control her, but don't you guys want to mention something to the old man in private? ?”

If the Eldest Master doesn't learn to be bad himself, what can others do to him?Even if it's not easy to trouble Jia Shishi on the face of it, it's not difficult to give her a good look secretly?Mountains don’t turn around, roads don’t turn around, people don’t turn around, methods are dead, people are alive, masters can’t control them, so it’s possible that they are servants and they really have nothing to do?

Butler Mo was embarrassed and touched his nose.

At that time, he only thought that no matter what the old man said, he would always be able to handle it, so that's all. Besides, the old man is not very bad, it's just that he is a little useless.

"Hmph!" Xia Dequan scolded more and more vigorously, and Butler Mo couldn't lift his head when he was scolding.

Speaking of which, Xia Dequan certainly has the qualifications to scold Steward Mo. He is not only the leader of the hidden guard camp, but more importantly, he ranks zero in the dark guard camp. He can only obediently listen to the training.

In the end, Xia Dequan gave him a heart attack, "Besides, you said that you want to let the old man be a wealthy idler for the rest of your life, and you didn't see that you took good care of the old man, so why did you let the old man be poisoned!"

Butler Mo: ...

This time, his head was so low that he didn't even dare to lift it up.

Xia Dequan asked coldly: "Who poisoned the elder?"

If they found out, he wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tear the man into pieces.

"I don't know." When it comes to this matter, Steward Mo is really a little strange. Speaking of it, although the Rongguo Mansion has not been peaceful these years, no matter what, it is just a small disturbance, and no one has dared to kill anyone. .

The death of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu was an exception. The Zhang family committed the crime. Jia Daishan privately did not want this daughter-in-law, so he acquiesced to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. There is Wang's handwriting behind it.

However, excluding these two incidents, there have been small disturbances in the Rongguo Mansion these years, but no one was killed, and even he didn't know how the elder was poisoned.

Xia Dequan gave Butler Mo a contemptuous look, "In the final analysis, you are always incompetent!"

Incompetence is incompetence, no matter how many reasons to explain, it is still incompetence.

Butler Mo lowered his head in shame.

"That's all." Xia Dequan said in a deep voice: "Since we know what kind of poison it is, we can just use it to find people."

Since the poison came from the palace, it is impossible for many people who came into contact with the poison to go there. If you check carefully, you can always find out who did it.

Butler Mo's eyes lit up, "Elder-in-law, Tianshan Snow Lotus...!?"

Xia Dequan frowned slightly, and finally sighed: "Our family has no control over this matter."

If it was other medicines, it would be a trivial matter for him to get Jia She in private, but this Tianshan snow lotus, especially the Tianshan snow lotus that is more than a hundred years old, is different. Even if it is a life-saving medicine like this, it is not enough for the holy master. Not many, he is just a father-in-law and has no right to use it.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "This matter... I'm afraid the Holy One must know about it."

Unexpectedly, the secret that Princess Haijing had kept all her life had to be revealed after all.

Although the medicine prescribed by the chieftain of Miaojiang can suppress the poison of Jia Amnesty for another seven or eight years, who in this world would think that they would die after only seven or eight years? Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was busy with Tianshan Snow Lotus for a while.

Although Jia Amnesty knew that the prince might not be able to help much, he still bit the bullet and begged the prince to see if he could ask the Holy One for medicine, or he could buy it directly with money.

To put it bluntly, because some time ago all the servants who were close to Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu were arrested to pay off their debts, Jia Amnesty quietly made a fortune from it. There are also about two.

Hearing this, the prince was also a little moved, but when he heard that what Jia She wanted was the heavenly snow lotus that was more than a hundred years old, he immediately shook his head like a drum.

"It's absolutely impossible."

The prince also spoke very directly, "There is no market for Tianshan snow lotus of more than one year old, let alone Tianshan snow lotus of more than a hundred years. Even in the palace, there are only a few Liao Liao plants, all of which are for the emperor's father. Prepared. General Jia, I really can't help you with this matter."

To put it bluntly, can Jia Amnesty's life be compared with the Holy Majesty's?No matter how sympathetic he is, the prince can only help him.

Jia Amnesty sighed helplessly, in fact, he also knew it, but after all, it was his own life, if he didn't give it a try, he would be reconciled.

Not only Jia Amnesty begged the prince here, but even Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others either went back to their natal family or sought help from friends, but Tianshan snow lotus is so precious that it is rare even in the palace, let alone ordinary people. , In the end, everyone returned without success, looked at each other, and sighed helplessly.

The news that Jia Amnesty was poisoned and urgently needed Tianshan Snow Lotus was spread, and even the Lin family knew about it.

Without saying a word, Lin Ruhai asked people to search in the Lin family's private warehouse. They didn't have any Tianshan snow lotus that was more than a hundred years old, but there was a Tianshan snow lotus that was about ten years old. What is the ratio.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked the old housekeeper to personally bring the ten-year-old Tianshan snow lotus to his elder brother, hoping to be of help.

When it comes to Jia Min, after hearing that Jia She was poisoned, his face has been extremely ugly, and then he heard that the poison is colorless and tasteless, and he didn't realize it until after death. Come to Rongguo Mansion and see my elder brother and mother."

Lin Ruhai sighed, "After all, this is a matter of the Rongguo Mansion. You couldn't help much in the past, but it was just to cause trouble. Besides, you have a big belly, so it's really inconvenient. Let's just forget about it."

Although the eldest uncle is a rich man, he is a rare house rich, and he rarely offends people. In addition, he is born well, and he has some contacts in Beijing. yes.

Although many people were offended by the idea of ​​giving the crown prince a dowry list, but for some reason, most of them started to trouble Jia Zheng, and very few people would really trouble Jia She.

The eldest uncle will be poisoned suddenly, I am afraid that it will be caused by the infighting in the Rongguo Mansion again. Whether it is Jia's mother or Jia Zheng's attack, it is always Jia Min's brother and mother. Lin Ruhai also couldn't bear Jia Min's embarrassment, so he advised her to forget it.

Jia Min shook her head, "It's because it's about my mother and elder brother that I have to go."

She really didn't understand, at this time, the mother was still poisoning her elder brother, what was she thinking?

Of course Mother Jia was very happy at this time. Once she learned that Jia She had been poisoned and died soon, she was very happy for several days. She even ate an extra bowl of rice than usual. Everyone, she's gloating.

Yuanyang saw it in her eyes, secretly anxious in her heart, and persuaded: "Old lady, something happened to the elder, should I send someone to take a look?"

After all, they are both mother and child, if people know what the old lady looks like, wishing the old man would die early.

"Should we go and see?" Mother Jia agreed in a rare way, "Go and see what happens to that unfilial son!"

How dare you disrespect your aunt, this guy deserves to die!

Under the resentment of Jia's mother, she even directly cursed Jia Amnesty.

Yuanyang's face turned pale, and before he had time to say anything, he heard Jia Min angrily say: "Old lady, what are you talking about?"

She was thinking that maybe it wasn't her mother this time, maybe it was Wang's hands again, but she didn't expect to hear Mother Jia curse her elder brother so viciously, what's more... she also said that elder brother disrespected his aunt, Doesn't this clearly say that Jia Amnesty was not born to Jia's mother?

Jia Min felt uneasy and couldn't help but glance at Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty's face was quite calm, and he didn't know if he took that disrespectful aunt to heart.

"Brother, don't worry too much." Jia Min bit the bullet and explained, "If you want to come to the old lady—"

Jia Min was about to say that the old lady didn't mean it, but Jia Amnesty replied directly: "Of course the old lady is sincere."

He had long since despaired of Mother Jia, and besides, he was not born to Mother Jia. Mother Jia's statement of disrespecting her aunt was not wrong in a certain way, but if he wanted to respect her, Mother Jia had to put on a show. .

Not to mention his childhood, the futile deaths of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu, and other miscellaneous things. As for his poisoning right now, he also wants to ask, is it the hands of Jia Mu?

Although everyone around Jiamu was replaced by his staff, he shouldn't be ignorant of what Jiamu did, but after all, Jiamu is the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion and has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for decades. Maybe there is really some secret hand that he doesn't know about.

Mother Jia said angrily, "It's none of my business. You have offended many people. You should be poisoned."

She was secretly refreshed, and she knew that girl Yuanchun couldn't hold back, and sure enough... Girl Yuanchun couldn't help but make a move after all.

Back then when she gave Yuanchun the box of medicine, she really didn't have any good intentions. She knew Yuanchun's temperament, which was the same as Wang's in his bones, and he was the most vicious. Because of his temperament, she lost her status as the eldest granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion. It's no wonder that Jia She hated it to the bone.

However, girl Yuanchun is still a little too impatient. If she waits until she gets married before making a move, Rao Jia pardons her as a villain, and she will never think of girl Yuanchun. After all, she is still a bit dangerous now, but that's all, anyway. Girl Yuanchun is already useless, and now that she is useless, Mother Jia doesn't bother to care about Yuanchun's life and death.

Jia's mother was not afraid of what Jia She would find out, she knew in her heart that everything about her was under Jia She's surveillance, and Jia She could only know if she made a move. Did you come to settle accounts with him only now?

Jia Amnesty did not find out anything. Although he was suspicious of Jia Mu from the very beginning, the people he sent to watch Jia Mu all reported that Jia Mu had been keeping her place these days and had done nothing she shouldn't do. That's all, until...

Jia Min is here!

He also knew a little about Jia Min's younger sister. If she hadn't known something, she would never have suddenly asked to see Jia's mother.

Sure enough, although Mother Jia had planned everything, she never thought that her daughter would betray her.

Jia Min bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "Mother, quickly take out the antidote!"

Jia Mu was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

As soon as Jia Min said this, wouldn't it be confirmed that she poisoned Jia Amnesty?

How could this child frame his own mother so ignorantly.

Mother Jia's heart was pierced, and she cursed: "What kind of soup did Lin Ruhai give you to make you ignore your own mother? You must know that your surname is Jia!"

Without her mother, she thought she and Jia She were only half siblings, would Jia She really care about her?If there is something, I'm afraid that girl Min's fate will be worse than Mrs. Wang's. Only her mother-in-law is wholeheartedly for Min'er.

The lesson from the past is right in front of us. Min'er didn't follow her as a mother, but instead betrayed her and took Jia Amnesty's side. Not only was she unfilial, but she was also stupid.

In a rage, Mother Jia picked up the crutches and beat Jia Min angrily. Jia Amnesty quickly blocked it, otherwise if the crutch landed firmly on the body of Jia Min who was about to give birth, she would still be injured. It's hard to tell what happened.

Even Jia Min caressed her stomach, feeling regretful and afraid. She almost forgot that she still had a child in her womb. If she was really hit by her mother...

She looked at her elder brother who was protecting her, then at Jiamu, finally bit her lower lip, lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiamu's face, and said in a low voice, "I know it was my mother who poisoned me. That poison...was exactly the same as the poison that Wang wanted to use on Brother Wu! And Wang's poison...was from his mother."

If it wasn't for sure, how could she ask her mother for the antidote!

In the eldest brother's situation, it is impossible to ask the Holy One to bestow a hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus. The only hope is to get the antidote from Jiamu.

Jia Min never felt pain in betraying her own mother, but her elder brother... was her own elder brother after all, no matter what she did, she was unwilling to see her elder brother die.
