The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Daiyu suddenly said: "Father will send a message to His Highness the Crown Prince some other day, asking His Highness to strengthen precautions, and don't be found by others."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, the daughter's thinking had always been off-kilter, and she didn't know how to start with building a navy for robbing and training the soldiers' ability to resist fainting suddenly shifted to the prince's vigilance.Lin Ruhai asked: "What did Yu'er think of?"

Daiyu said: "It's nothing. It's just that the little prince's action is a little bigger this time. We can see the trick, Uncle Jing can see it, and other people can naturally see it. Let's fight for the right to build a navy. The most important thing is to prevent the military power of the navy from falling into the hands of Cheng'en Gongfu again, and after Changkang Palace sees it, the first consideration is how to continue to get the support of Cheng'en Gongfu.

As far as Duke Cheng'en's mansion is concerned, it makes no difference whether the prince ascends the throne or the nine princes aspire to the throne.But if any one of the crown prince or nine princes is lost, the Cheng En Gong Mansion can only fully support the remaining one.Otherwise, three years ago, Changkang Palace would not have taken action against Donggong when the Second Prince's family was still in glory.

At that time, the Second Prince was very powerful, and according to common sense, His Royal Highness and the Ninth Prince should watch over and help each other.At that time, the East Palace had extremely low defense against Changkang Palace, and it was easier for Changkang Palace to succeed. "Actually, in the previous life, Changkang Palace did succeed in one blow three years ago, gathering all the forces of Duke Cheng's Mansion. Because of the military power in hand, they succeeded in forcing the palace.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Yu'er's words are justified, as a father, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Just as Daiyu expected, the purge of military discipline in the Beijing camp was initially misunderstood by various forces as the three fires of Jia Jing's new official appointment.But Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince's IQs are really not bad, even the Second Prince's residence has very smart and knowledgeable counselors.So after pondering for a while, Changkang Palace and the second prince also vaguely guessed about this matter.

Although the second prince was very depressed, since the case of the Zhen family happened three years ago, he has been in a slump.It is definitely not enough for the remnants of the forces in his hands to fight for the big position. If the crown prince successfully ascends the throne, it will not even be enough to protect himself; the second prince has no choice but to secretly join the ninth prince and strive for success.

As for the Ninth Prince, in fact, since Iron Net Mountain framed the Crown Prince was discovered three years ago, there is no way out.On the road of seizing the heirloom, there is no turning back after opening the bow.

When Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince were discussing this matter, she first lamented the careful planning of the Eastern Palace, and then she was a little annoyed, and said, "Have you seen it, my lord? Starting from the Ministry of Housekeeping changing the bookkeeping method of Lao Shizi, later A series of plans seem to be within Lin Ruhai's plan."

Although after Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, the Ninth Prince was restrained everywhere, but he still had to admit that the Ninth Prince was a person with sufficient IQ.Even when they were competing with each other, the Lin family's father and daughter took the lead everywhere, but the Ninth Prince at least understood how he lost.It's like playing against a top player. If you can understand how you lost, that's an extremely high level.

The Ninth Prince slapped the huanghuali wood table hard, and said: "Lin Ruhai used the reform of the account book to clear up the debts and win the favor of the father; The monopoly of sea trade has cut off the possibility of us strengthening our strength through sea trade; now the sword is aimed at the navy who protects the sea trade routes. Moreover, the military expenses for the training of the navy have long been available, which is to clear the outstanding debts and seize the proceeds of the Zhen family and the Wang family. No amount of training can be done by a single navy. Calculated carefully, since Lin Ruhai defeated Zhen Yingjia in the south of the Yangtze River, the East Palace has benefited later, which can be said to be a white wolf with empty hands." This is a closed loop, and each link is advancing steadily. Support, able to complete all of Lin Ruhai's plans.

Little Concubine Zhong nodded and said, "Then what does the emperor plan to do next?"

The Ninth Prince murmured: "If you want to build a navy, it's better to recruit southern soldiers. Although Jia Jing has a vision, now the training is mainly from the northern soldiers. At that time, there will be some competition in the court. The navy may not be easy. It will fall into the hands of Jia Jing. What Haier is more worried about now is that people will change their minds, and the allies we thought were unbreakable will gradually turn against each other."

Ever since the Baolinghou Mansion communicated with the Lin family and the plans for the Changkang Palace were 'leaked', Concubine Zhong's mother and son had a sense of crisis that Cheng Engong's Mansion would defect to the East Palace.But the human heart is also the most difficult thing to grasp, and it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Whether it is Cheng'en Gong's mansion or Bowlinghou's mansion, when they feel that the Eastern Palace has a better chance of winning, it is human nature to favor the Eastern Palace; unless the Ninth Prince proves that he is stronger than the Eastern Palace, there is no way to stop this kind of thing .

Little Concubine Zhong naturally knew this truth, and sighed: "The emperor knows why three years ago, my palace knew that the second prince was in full swing, but he attacked the East Palace first."

What Concubine Zhong said three years ago was of course the hunting at Iron Net Mountain.Originally, the plan that time was also seamless, but who knows how the Lin family in Yangzhou suddenly reported that Lin You fell into the water, and it was found that it was related to Jia Min's cronies.What happened in the Lin family reminded Donggong, and Donggong also began to thoroughly investigate the usual cronies.

After that time, the secret work of Changkang Palace buried in the East Palace was unearthed inexplicably, and the East Palace avoided the iron net mountain for a calculation, and then began to go smoothly.

The Ninth Prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and said gratefully: "I thank my mother and concubine for thinking far and wide for my son."

Concubine Xiao Zhong said: "The emperor's son is so motivated, better than your brothers. Everything I do is worth it." After a short pause, Concubine Zhong said: "Of course I know that as long as the prince is still alive Therefore, I planned to get rid of the crown prince three years ago. As far as the Cheng'en mansion is concerned, without the prince, they can only assist our mother and son wholeheartedly."

These were also guessed by the Ninth Prince, but it was the first time that Concubine Zhong said it herself.The Ninth Prince held his breath involuntarily, squeezed Shuangquan tightly, and said: "I will not let my concubine down."

Little Concubine Zhong laughed and said, "If any of what I have done is exposed, I will die. My son, there is no way out for our mother and son."

Hearing the words 'no retreat', the Ninth Prince's expression gradually became firmer, and he said with a bit of sternness, "Mother and concubine, don't worry." As for what to worry about, he didn't say anything, and there is no need to say anything.

The mother and son pondered for a while, and the little concubine Zhong suddenly said: "The crown prince is just like the eldest sister back then, but he is the eldest son. The eldest sister is not as good as me in every way, and the prince is not as good as you in every way. I should leave it to you. But that Qilang in the East Palace is actually a wicked one. How come Jia Jing is training soldiers on the front foot, and he sent the strange machine on the back foot to make the soldiers resist dizziness."

The Ninth Prince frowned and said, "This, I have also been suspicious. But Donggong Xiaoqi's obsession with carpentry does not seem to be fake. Moreover, after Donggong Xiaoqi sent those two weird guys to Jia Jing, he became obsessed with other things. , and now I have gone to toss the Ministry of Industry. I'm afraid this is a coincidence, right?"

Little Concubine Zhong frowned and said: "There are so many coincidences, this Qilang should check it out, he, that girl from the Lin family, and Shui Lan next to your sister are all evil."

Both Situ Zhuo and Daiyu are the opposites of Changkang Palace. If the opposite side becomes a rising star, it will naturally be a threat to his mother and son, but Shui Lan is now reading with his compatriot sister, and standing on the side of Changkang Palace early in the morning, what problem can there be? ?

The Ninth Prince was surprised and said: "Mother and concubine said that girl Shuilan is also evil? Could it be that Shuilan was actually a secret work arranged by the East Palace in Changkang Palace?" Because Changkang Palace once arranged a detailed work in the East Palace, the Ninth Prince judged others by himself, afraid is this.

Concubine Zhong sneered and said, "You think highly of that girl Shui Lan. I have tested her several times, but her ability is not good enough for fine work. If she is fine work, it will save me a lot of effort."

"What does the concubine mean?"

Concubine Xiao Zhong said: "I see that girl Shui Lan, she doesn't seem to be very scheming, so why did she appear to be so outstanding when she said she was sick and refused the marriage of the second prince and the second son, and cast herself in the Changkang Palace?" Is it like a prophet? Also, after Jia Zheng and his wife, the second room of the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion, I just brought Yuanchun from the Jia family to Changkang Palace to see if it will be of any use in the future. That girl Shui Lan seems to be very Dissatisfied. In terms of status, that girl from Jia's family is just a court lady, and she can't threaten Shui Lan at all. What is she dissatisfied with?

The strangest thing is that ever since I found out that Shui Lan was a bit evil, I asked Aunt Qilan next to your sister to pay attention.You also know that the girl Shui Lan is also arrogant. Last time in Cheng'en Gong Mansion, the girl of the Lin family was provoked by many rich and noble women, and before that, the girl of the Lin family did not show the slightest ability to fight the crowd. With her usual temperament, she must step forward and follow her, but guess what Shui Lan did that day? "

Little Concubine Zhong didn't seem to expect the Ninth Prince to answer, she paused for a moment, and continued: "Qi Lan said that Shui Lan showed fear on her face, and even took a few steps back, looking like she was terribly afraid of Lin girl. Moreover, that kind of Fear, what Kelan described to me was like seeing a ghost."

Hearing this, the Ninth Prince also felt strange. "Shui Lan usually doesn't look timid, and the sky is bright and bright, so how can there be any ghosts? After the concubine mother said so, I really want to see that girl Lin."

Concubine Xiao Zhong smiled and said: "I have seen Lin girl in this palace, she is first-class in terms of appearance, even though she is still young, she can faintly see that she will be prosperous in the future." After a pause, Concubine Zhong glanced at her son with a smile With a glance, he said, "Don't change the subject. There is one more thing. After the disturbance at the Peony Banquet that day, Jia Min wanted to leave, and Mrs. Shi naturally wanted to keep him. It so happened that at this time, Donggong Xiaoqi sent a servant Come to rescue. Qilan said that Shui Lan's expression at that time was too weird to describe.

Just think about it, the place where the grandson Wang and the ladies are not in the same place to enjoy the flowers, how could it be such a coincidence that it was Donggong Xiaoqi who came out to do something bad.The Xiao Qi in the East Palace seemed to be doing nothing on weekdays, but when it came to critical moments, he would seemingly unintentionally help the Lin family.Moreover, why did Shui Lan react abnormally when he met these two people, as if he knew the secret of these two people. "

The Ninth Prince pondered the meeting, and said, "Shui Lan is a little strange. Is mother planning to test Shui Lan?"

Little Concubine Zhong sneered again, and said, "That girl Shui Lan has a simple mind, so if you are a little scared, just ask directly."

After a few days, Concubine Zhong really asked.

At first, Shui Lan didn't want to talk about it, but her wisdom was no match for that of Concubine Zhong, after all, Concubine Zhong cheated her out of the truth.Another one, since Shui Lan took refuge in Changkang Palace, she was worried that she couldn't let Concubine Zhong discover her own value. Since Concubine Zhong had noticed something herself, Shui Lan also revealed some of it half-covered.

Of course, the idea of ​​rebirth is too unbelievable, and Shui Lan still has something to hide.He only said that three years ago, when he was negotiating marriage with the second prince's second son, he really fell ill. During his illness, he dreamed day and night, and the scenes in his dreams were as realistic as reality.Moreover, things in the dream are coherent.Because the things in the dream were too unimaginable, I was frightened, so I broke off the marriage with the second prince's mansion.

At this point alone, Concubine Zhong probably already guessed, and asked, "Did you dream that the Zhen family would lose in the case of private salt?"

Shui Lan showed fear again on his face, and said: "No, what I dreamed was that Zhen Yingjia won, the only son of the Lin family died, and Jia Min died soon after, and... when the prince was in Iron Net Mountain, The cronies around him attempted to assassinate the Holy Majesty, and they were imprisoned when they returned to Beijing."

Little Concubine Zhong has long practiced the ability to distinguish between emotions and anger. Hearing this, she was so excited that her body trembled slightly. In Shui Lan's dream, the elaborate plan she had planned three years ago turned out to be a success?

Little Concubine Zhong asked: "Since the second prince won the East Palace, why did you plan to postpone the marriage with the second prince's mansion, and then take the initiative to approach Thirteen, to be her companion, and then approach Changkang Palace? The second prince won, Wouldn't it be great for you to marry into the Second Prince's Mansion?"

Except for the rebirth, I can’t say anything else. Since I used the excuses in the dream, Shui Lan didn’t hide any more, and said bluntly: “Because in my dream, in a few years, the second prince will also be defeated. The emperor abdicates to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

Perhaps as far as the Ninth Prince is concerned, his mother and concubine have been extremely strict in his education since he was a child, but planning to fight for the throne has been a matter of recent years.But Concubine Yu Zhong, she has been preparing for this for more than 20 years.Back then, she had made a great wish to surpass her elder sister, and she planned to enter the palace as a concubine by herself, and she was planning all the time.

The eldest sister is the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and the only way to surpass the eldest sister is for her son to ascend to the throne and become the empress dowager herself.

So even if she just heard from Shui Lan that she succeeded in her dream, Concubine Zhong's face flushed with excitement and her eyes sparkled.For so many years, the direction of my devotion is not wrong, but some things happened here, which broke the original direction.

But after all, she still has something to ask Shui Lan. Concubine Zhong quickly suppressed the excitement in her heart, calmed down, and pushed the teacup in front of Shui Lan: "Drink some tea and speak slowly, your dream is What year did it start, which ones became true, and which things were different from the dream.”

Since Shui Lan was reborn, this so-called 'dream' was naturally from the year she remembered, but to say what things have changed from her previous life, Shui Lan turned her head and thought carefully: "Probably Since the Lin family caught the person who murdered the little master, everything changed.

In my dream, after Lin You and Jia Min died one after another, Lin Ruhai sent Lin Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion, and died in office the year His Highness Ninth Prince succeeded to the throne.Lin Daiyu died in the year when the Supreme Emperor, who is now the Holy Majesty, died. "

Little Concubine Zhong was nervous and excited at the same time, so Shui Lan was not in a hurry and spoke slowly.Shui Lan is naturally not as smart as Concubine Zhong, a woman who subverted the political power in her previous life, but she was born in the Beijing Palace and received a good education. Her own quality is actually not bad among ladies of the same age.Therefore, Shui Lan's narration was fairly methodical, and Concubine Zhong's heart was surging when she heard it, and at the same time she gritted her teeth secretly.

His heart was surging because in Shui Lan's dream, he had succeeded; Yin Ya secretly gritted his teeth in real life. Since Lin You was rescued, reality and Shui Lan's dream had gone astray.

Little Concubine Zhong has been planning major events for more than 20 years, especially after having a son, she has devoted herself to educating her son, cultivating power, and finding opportunities.As for the main arm of the Eastern Palace, Little Concubine Zhong knew everything about it.

When Lin You fell into the water, the Lin family did not hide it.It's just that it was rumored that Lin Daiyu, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, saved her younger brother. Because the Lin family girl was young at the time, such a thing was against common sense, and a smart person like Concubine Zhong didn't believe it.I always think that the Lin family has some purpose in covering up the truth.Now it seems……

"Lan'er, in your dream, what is the difference between the girl from the Lin family and now?" Concubine Zhong quickly grasped the core of the problem.

Shui Lan said: "Is the lady talking about Lin Daiyu? In fact, the fate of the girls in the Lin family is different from my dream."

Because Jia Baoyu, a young girl friend, made friends with her elder brother Shui Rong in the previous life, and because Jia Baoyu was a daughter who loved to show off her purity and innocence, I don’t know how many times I have heard about the girl Shui Rong from the Grand View Garden in the previous life, and she also met the girl from Rongguo Mansion from Baoyu. After listening to their elegant poems, Shui Rong thought of taking Daiyu as his concubine.Naturally, Shui Lan also knew some gossip about Grand View Garden from Shui Rong.

Therefore, Shui Lan really knew something about the three girls of the Lin family.

Just listening to Shui Lan said: "In my dream, the daughter of the Lin family was weak and sick since she was a child, and died when she was 16 years old. Looking at her now, she seems to be deficient. As for the two adopted daughters of the Lin family, the son of Su Hanshan The daughter became a nun, and the other adopted daughter was not so lucky, but was sold to the son of the Xue family as a concubine, that is, Xue Pan, the successor of Ziwei."

Speaking of this, Shui Lan said some details that she knew, so there is no need to elaborate.

Concubine Zhong thought to herself: Shui Lan's expression of being afraid of the girl of the Lin family that day at the Peony Banquet, I'm afraid that's the problem.But of course Concubine Zhong would not directly ask you why you are afraid of Daiyu, isn't that clearly telling Shuilan that I am watching you?

Concubine Zhong asked skillfully: "Lan'er, what do you think is the difference between Miss Lin now and the Miss Lin in your dream? What adventure do you think she had?"

Sure enough, there was a look of fear on Shui Lan's face, and he said: "My lady, don't blame me for being crazy, I always think Miss Lin is too good to be human. The girl Lin in my dream is already a first-class beauty knowledge in the world, and now Miss Lin is more beautiful than in her dream.

Besides, Miss Lin in my dream was a bit petite and easy to cry, but that day at the peony banquet in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, Miss Lin encountered such a situation, not only did she not show any timidity, her expression was very frightening, with a faint murderous look .I have never seen such a look in the eyes of any woman, let alone a child, the empress thinks, is it possible that Miss Lin is a ghost? "

In fact, Daiyu's eyes on that day were the firm and confident eyes unique to soldiers, but Shui Lan had never seen such eyes before, and it could only be described as murderous.

Concubine Zhong is such a strong woman, she only believes in herself and not in ghosts and gods, but she also knows that Shui Lan's dream is by no means fabricated.

Three years ago, I planned to frame the prince in Iron Net Mountain, and I was only one step away from success. This kind of confidential matter is definitely beyond the knowledge of Shui Lan, a boudoir girl. If she wanted to make it up, she would definitely not be able to make it up.

And how did Iron Net Mountain's Tian|YiSeamless plan come to light? Wasn't it because after the Lin family found out the inner thief, the East Palace began to track down all the cronies around the prince and princess for many years, and finally found out the person who was buried next to the prince. what?

In other words, what happened in Shui Lan's dream was most likely what should have happened, but the appearance of the girl from the Lin family became a variable that changed everything.

So how did all this happen?Even if it wasn't for Shui Lan's theory of ghost possession, the girl of the Lin family must have had other adventures.

Little Concubine Zhong's thoughts turned, she had already thought of a lot, but she asked: "Aside from that girl from the Lin family, who else is different from your dream? It's not that their experience is different from your dream, but their appearance. Personality is completely different from your dream. For example, in your dream, do I, the emperor, Thirteen, and even your parents and elder brother have the same appearance and character as in the previous life? Who is completely different from the previous life?"

Shui Lan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Although many things have changed from my dream, most of the people I know are the same as in the previous life. It is Su Lan, the adoptive daughter of the Lin family, whom I met once in the previous life. Except most of the encounters are different, the appearance is also the same as the previous life.

The most different is Miss Lin.I have never seen Miss Lin's mother and brother, but in my dream, they have been dead for several years.In addition, there is another person who is extra, and there is no such person in my dream. "

"Who?" Concubine Zhong couldn't help asking.

Shui Lan frowned and said: "The seven young princes in the East Palace. In my dream, there were only six young princes in the East Palace." Shui Lan knew that the so-called dreaming was just an excuse, and that she had actually lived a life in her previous life, and there was no such person as Situ Zhuo. Obviously, Shui Lan couldn't figure out how there would be an extra person.

Concubine Zhong thought for a while, but she had a faint guess, and said: "You are young, and there are some things you don't know. Situ Zhuo's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to him. She cried aloud when she was about to wrap her body. If the girl from the Lin family was possessed by a spirit, Situ Zhuo might have been possessed by a spirit at that time."

In broad daylight, Shui Lan flinched in fright at what Little Concubine Zhong said, but she also felt that what Little Concubine Zhong said was very reasonable.
