Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Wanru was surprised and said, "Is the imperial doctor in the palace not good enough? Do you still need to look outside?"

Lin Daiyu remained silent, since it wasn't a matter of medical skills, there was only one reason, the empress didn't want people in the palace to know.

Lin Wanru also thought about this. She thought of Concubine Jia Xian holding the little princess in a hurry just now, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart. If the little princess was not in good health, so many imperial doctors and maids in the palace would have discovered it a long time ago. It may be hidden until now, but I don't know what disease the little princess has?Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan were sweating profusely from playing, and when they came out, they saw Lin Wanru standing aside, and said, "Fool, come and play, what are you doing standing there?"

Lin Wanru hastily declined: "When the time comes, I will be covered in sweat and sticky, which will be uncomfortable. Please forgive me."

Shui Rou came up behind and said: "It's so lively after all, if you don't come, it will be a pity."

Lin Wanru was dragged by several people to play around on the ice. She was not very proficient in the first place, so she fell several times. Once they dragged each other, Shi Aizhu, Liuxuan and Shuirou both fell on the ice. But they all laughed, as if there was something funny.

When it was time for the banquet, a court lady came to deliver a message, and the girls gathered around to receive the banquet in the main hall, and Lin Daiyu and Lin Wanru also went back to their respective mother-in-laws.

Lin Wanru keenly noticed that although Shen had a smile on her face, she was very reluctant, and when she looked at the concubine Roujia, Concubine Chen Ying, and Concubine Wu, who were sitting first, they all looked unhappy.

Lin Wanru was sure that something must have happened in between.

Everyone also quickly felt this weird atmosphere, and the laughter gradually quieted down. Everyone ate the meal almost silently. Before it was over, several concubines left the table one after another. That's when I remembered the buzzing whispers.

Lin Wanru didn't ask Shen, and Shen didn't say anything.It was originally said that there would be singing and dancing after the banquet, but it was canceled temporarily, and all the female family members were ordered to go home before dark.

When Shen Shi and Lin Wanru went back, they found that Chen Yi, Chen Yongming and Chen Ruiwen had already returned, and they all had serious expressions on their faces. Seeing Shen Shi coming back, Chen Yi asked anxiously, "How is your majesty?"

Shen Shi didn't even have time to drink tea, and said: "Don't worry, Father, Madam is fine. Fortunately, there are four princes this time, otherwise I would not be able to clean up if I fell into the Yellow River."

Lin Wanru became more and more confused, but Chen Yi and Chen Yongming were angry.They didn't say much, and went back separately.

Back in Taoranju, Lin Wanru asked Chen Ruiwen: "What happened today?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "Concubine Jia Xian carried the little princess to pay her respects to the queen mother, but when she turned the corner, she collided with the fourth prince, and the little princess almost fell to the ground."

Lin Wanru couldn't help exclaiming.How old is the little princess, if she fell to the ground like this, wouldn't she be dead?

Chen Ruiwen said: "Fortunately, the fourth prince has quick eyesight and quick hands. He jumped up and caught the little princess, but he fell down the steps and broke his leg. The emperor was furious when he heard this. He hurriedly asked the imperial physician to treat the fourth prince and the little princess. Who would have thought that the imperial physician found out The little princess seems to be handicapped, and her ears can't hear the sound. The emperor didn't believe it, so someone brought a gong to knock in front of the little princess, but the little princess didn't respond at all. The emperor was very sad, and he didn't attend the banquet."

Lin Wanru frowned and said, "Sister Baochai pulled her over and whispered to her today. It has something to do with asking for a doctor. It seems that the little princess is not good. So the concubine Xian wants the Jia family to help find a doctor outside the palace."

Chen Ruiwen said: "This makes sense, Concubine Xu Xian is afraid that the emperor will know, and wants to cure it secretly."

Lin Wanru thought back and forth, and said, "What does this matter have to do with our mother? I see that grandfather and father are very angry."

Chen Ruiwen said meaningfully: "If there is no fourth prince, the one who collided with Concubine Jia Xian would be an aunt. It was only because she happened to meet the fourth prince that the aunt asked the fourth prince to find the sixth prince, and the fourth prince agreed. In the front, I heard from the little eunuch who was present at the time that Concubine Jia Xian seemed to have tried her best to run over. Think about it, there are usually maids of honor who lead the way by the side of nobles, so why did Concubine Jia Xian not follow? If it's just an accident, it's fine, what if it's not an accident? I'm afraid Concubine Jia Xian is planning to plot against the aunt instead of the Fourth Prince."

Lin Wanru figured this out almost immediately. Concubine Jia Xian first found out that the little princess could not hear, fearing that the emperor would be angry, so she simply plotted against Concubine Chen Ying and let the little princess fall so suddenly, even if someone found out later, it could be said It was that fall.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether it is an accident or intentional, in short, Concubine Chen Ying can't get away with it, but it's a pity that this happened to the fourth prince, but the fourth prince caught the little princess with quick eyesight and quick hands , Concubine Jia Xian's plan came to naught.

Lin Wanru said: "Then why does Concubine Jia Xian ask the Jia family to help find a doctor? Isn't it unnecessary?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "So there must be someone behind this."

Lin Wanru suddenly realized: "It's the prince! The little princess fell to the ground, and it is very likely that she will die. As the biological mother, Concubine Jia Xian should not be so cruel. Her original intention should be to secretly cure the little princess. It was the crown prince who knew about this and let Concubine Jia Xian take the opportunity to frame the empress."

The prince wanted to use this incident to frame Concubine Chen Ying, and then let the second prince be dragged down by his mother and lose the favor of the emperor. This trick was really cruel, and Concubine Jia Xian agreed, and she actually bet on her daughter's life.

You must know that the little princess is still a baby, and the possibility of surviving the fall on the ground is very small, but it is not clear whether Concubine Jia Xian is voluntary or forced.

Chen Ruiwen said: "This time, Concubine Jia Xian was stealing chickens and wasted money. The emperor was angry and said, how can a good little princess be deaf? Ask the imperial doctor to check to see if Concubine Jia Xian committed any taboos during her pregnancy. This made the little princess congenitally deficient. The queen mother also said that Concubine Jia Xian was not careful, and the child was still in her hands. Even if she fell, she should hug her tightly. Why did she throw the little princess out? It might as well be the fourth prince who broke his leg and sacrificed his life to save him. After hearing this, the emperor told Concubine Jia Xian to stop and think about it, and handed the little princess to Concubine Roujia to raise her temporarily, saying that she had raised Princess Chaohuang, and that she would be of great help to raising her daughter. Based on experience, I sent an imperial doctor to treat the little princess, and also rewarded the fourth prince with a lot of things, saying that he loves the little sister, and his kindness is commendable."

Lin Wanru remained silent. It seemed that the Jia family was going to be very anxious tonight. What would the prince who failed in his plan do next?

It is impossible to hide such a big event, but it was spread all over the capital in just two days, because it was almost the end of the new year, and even the joy and excitement of the new year had been diluted a bit. Concubine Jia Xian was grounded, and the Jia family even It is trembling, fearing that someday disaster will befall us.

Lin Daiyu came to Chen's house to visit Lin Wanru at this time.

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, Lin Wanru could also guess her purpose in her heart, so she kept Lin Daiyu for dinner affectionately, and Lin Daiyu didn't refuse. I am very worried, because all the eunuchs who used to ask for news are afraid of avoiding it. Although the emperor is only grounded, the people in the palace are used to flattering others, and the little princess is handed over to Concubine Roujia to be raised. The old lady is really afraid The empress was ashamed and angry for a while, she did something, she called me here today, she just wanted to ask my brother-in-law to find out, as long as she knows that the empress is well, everything will be at ease."

However, Lin Wanru felt that this matter was a bit troublesome. You must know that Concubine Jia Xian wanted to plot against Concubine Chen Ying at the beginning, but the plot failed. Now that the Chen family is asked to help the Jia family find out about Concubine Jia Xian, the Chen family will definitely not want to .

It's just that I don't know if the Jia family knew about Concubine Jia Xian's plan, if they knew, it would be a bit cheeky to call Lin Daiyu again, if they didn't know, then it would be justifiable for them to visit this time.

Where did Lin Daiyu ever ask for help, even for her own sister, she felt a little ashamed, Lin Wanru couldn't bear her embarrassment, so she agreed, saying: "If I find out the news, I will ask Xie Niang to give it to my sister. Send things."

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said yes repeatedly, Lin Wanru said: "Speaking of which, why didn't the old lady go to ask for the Bao family? It is more convenient for the Bao family to walk in the palace, and Sister Yingchun is here."

Lin Daiyu felt sad when she mentioned this: "Don't mention Sister Yingchun. Sister Yingchun is like a living dead in Bao's house. She eats and drinks like a servant on weekdays. Baochang Ling is not a thing. She moved to live in another place. I haven't seen Sister Yingchun for almost half a year. Sister Yingchun cried several times and begged the old lady to take her back, but the girl's family is married, so how can she live with her natal family? I divorced Sister Yingchun, and I went to see it twice with Sister Feng, and it was really heartbreaking to see."

Lin Wanru said angrily: "The Bao family bullies people so much, it's better to make up quickly and find a good family for sister Yingchun, it's better than suffering like that."

Lin Daiyu said: "A woman's reputation is so important, even if she remarries, she won't be able to find a better one. Either it's a remarriage, or she's getting older. There's always something unsatisfactory."

Lin Daiyu stayed for dinner before leaving, Shen's heard this and called Lin Wanru over: "Your sister is here to inquire about Concubine Jia Xian?"

Lin Wanru said: "Yes, the Jia family still doesn't know what's going on, and they are very worried. The old lady called her sister, and wanted to ask Ruiwen for help."

Shen didn't say anything, and told Lin Wanru to go back, but Lin Wanru knew that this meant objection.

If Concubine Jia Xian wanted to plot against Concubine Chen Ying, maybe the Chen family would still help out for the sake of having relatives, but now that you have hurt me, I still want to help you. How is it different from Mr. Dong Guo?Outsiders would only laugh at the Chen family's stupidity if they knew about it.

But if you don't help, nothing else, Daiyu will have a hard time in Jia's house.

Lin Wanru couldn't just watch her sister humiliate her before begging others.
