The Heavenly Dao of Red Mansions was traversed

The third master remained calm and listened to Concubine Jin's "storytelling" with everyone.

Concubine Jin hesitated for a while. Seeing that everyone was surprised but did not question her, she seemed relieved and continued:

"That day, my concubine was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone, so I didn't take anyone for a walk by myself. When I walked to the flower corridor near Fengzao Palace, I vaguely heard someone talking."

"Chenqie... Chenqie wanted to be alone for a while, so she planned to avoid it, but the speaker mentioned... mentioning... taking medicine, and... blood collapse..."

Concubine Jin's tears finally couldn't help falling down, she wiped away the tears with a silk handkerchief, and shrank back.

Seeing her frightened look, the queen frowned inwardly, but she couldn't show it on her face.He had no choice but to sigh and walk over, stroking her back to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid."

Concubine Jin looked at the queen gratefully, wiped away her tears and continued.

"The concubine thought of something bad at the time, and was terrified in her heart. It's not that she didn't dare to leave if she stood still... I saw... I saw... I saw Huigui's mother coming out of the flower gallery! The concubine was anxious at the time, so she hid in the nearby flowers, and after a while, another person came out from the flower gallery, it was... Mrs. Fang!"

"At that time, the concubine's mind was blank, and she just wanted to leave early. After returning to the palace, she remembered that it was the day when Huigui's mother came to the palace to visit Huigui, but she didn't dare to think about anything else, and kept pretending that she didn't know anything. I know, until just now Fang... died..."

When mentioning Fang's death, Concubine Jin seemed to be stimulated, her body softened, and she knelt down on the ground again.

"Queen Mother, my concubine... I'm afraid!"

Everyone present understood what Concubine Jin was afraid of.

According to Concubine Jin, Fang was instructed by Xue Baochai's mother, Mrs. Xue, to give Jia Yuanchun medicine that would cause her to collapse. It is not certain whether Fang's suicide was a real suicide or was killed. .As an insider, Concubine Jin didn't reveal it at first, but that doesn't mean she won't reveal it in the future.Concubine Jin was timid, and Fang's death made her, who was always timid and sensitive, feel that she would be killed because she knew the truth!

Xuan Zhiyuan pinched his brows, it was indeed out of political considerations that he brought Xue Baochai into the palace.But Xue Baochai is smart enough to keep himself safe after entering the palace, and what he asks will not be too much. He originally thought that when everything is over, he will give her what a concubine really deserves for the sake of her being so quiet. award.As for the Xue family, for her sake, he will not go too far.Now it seems that I really think too much!

Gritting his teeth, Xuan Zhiyuan felt that it was better for the Queen Mother and Queen to handle this kind of matter.He said weakly:

"The queen mother will figure it out."

The Empress Dowager had obviously sorted out her thoughts.Hey...Gong Dou, I get used to it after fighting.When I calm down and think about it, isn't that all the tricks of the women in the palace?Having lived in this palace all her life, what else has she not seen?

Take out the majesty of the queen mother, and tell Ma Huaide:

"Go! Honorable Xuanhui is here to meet Ai's family!"

The hierarchy of the Daqing harem is similar to the combination of Han, Tang, and Qing harem.The queen is the main palace, and there are four concubines below, of which the noble concubine is the first rank, and the other four concubines are not necessarily the first rank.There are six instruments under the four concubines, from the second rank to the third rank.The four concubines and six ceremonies in Xuan Zhiyuan's harem are full, so although Xue Baochai has always been favored after entering the palace, he can only be an indeterminate number of regular fourth-rank nobles after Liuyi. The ranks of Hua, Cainv, and Guannv are also indefinite.

For the birth of a concubine like Jia Yuanchun, the nobles are not qualified to come and visit without calling.So Ma Huaide summoned Xue Baochai to enter Fengzao Palace at this time, and everyone in the harem inevitably had some guesses.However, Ma Huaide observed Xue Baochai secretly, but found that she was not panicked at all, and Ma Huaide, who was used to the wind and rain beside the Queen Mother, was a little confused by her innocent look.

When Xue Baochai entered Fengzao Palace, the Empress Dowager asked Concubine Jin to tell the story again and asked Xue Baochai:

"You really did this? Why do you want to kill Concubine Yuan?! Do you have anything else to say?"

Xue Baochai knelt on the ground, straightened her back, and listened to the queen mother's repeated questioning, not only did not panic as imagined, but smiled.She turned to Concubine Jin, and asked sharply with a serious face:

"The concubine just wants to ask the concubine Jin a word. Please answer truthfully: what you said just now is not a single lie?!"

Even the Empress Dowager was overwhelmed by Xue Baochai's instant boost of momentum, and Xuan Yi and the third master couldn't help but look sideways.

Shi Dongxiao, Si Yao: (⊙-⊙)! ! !Is this really Sister Bao from the Dream of the Red Chamber? !It won't be replaced by someone, right? !

Xue Baochai's face was full of awe, but it was Concubine Jin who was at a loss again when she asked her this question.With her head down and her lips biting, her eyes flickering, and her grumpy expression, there is obviously something wrong!

"Concubine Jin?!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly. It seems that the always timid Concubine Jin is not as simple as everyone thinks!

Concubine Jin shivered violently when she was scolded by the Queen Mother, but she still lowered her head and shook her body without saying a word.

The third master shifted his gaze to the hairpin on Concubine Jin's bun, and played with Xuan Yi's fingers, actually communicating with Xuan Yi.

Third Master: Since you don't care about it and mess up now, it doesn't matter if I play a little older, right?

Xuan Yi: Hehe... what does Huan'er want to play?It's a matter of time before things get messy, so have fun.

His eyebrows frowned, and in front of everyone, the third master made a 'slap' and imprinted a watermark on Xuan Yi's face.Then she turned her face without blushing at all, and directly set her gaze on Concubine Jin's bun.

"Concubine Jin, the silver hairpin on your head doesn't look like something from our Daqing?"

The third master stared at Concubine Jin with a smile, and said something completely irrelevant to what they were discussing.

Even though they didn't understand what he meant, everyone still reflexively looked at Concubine Jin's head.

A silver hairpin was inserted into Concubine Jin's beaded bun, but the silver hairpin was inlaid with gemstones and agates. Although the style was a bit peculiar, it was not conspicuous in the hairpin rings of Concubine Jin's full head.

Everyone didn't see anything strange, but Xuan Zhiyuan pulled his face down after taking a look.Xue Baochai stared at the hairpin on Concubine Jin's head, her face full of disbelief, but in an instant her face was expressionless again, only the faint trembling of her hands showed that she was not at peace at the moment.

"I don't understand, why do you all like to put clues on your own heads?"

The third master's smile remained unchanged, but what he said made Concubine Jin turn pale.

"The chief royal craftsman of Nantu Kingdom used rare snow silk mithril to forge five hairpins. One was in the hands of the queen of Nantu, and two tributes were given to us in Daqing. They should be with the queen mother and queen. But the craftsman The teacher was greedy for money, and lied at the beginning that he only built three, and there were two more, which were sold to..."

The third master looked at Xue Baochai with a smile all over his face, and curled his tongue.

"...Two big businessmen. One of them is a Persian. After getting the hairpin, he paid tribute to the Persian royal family, and the other is from Daqing... Do I need to continue?"

Nantu Kingdom is located in the south of Daqing. Its geographical location is somewhat similar to that of Myanmar and Vietnam relative to China. It is rich in precious metals.Snow Silk Mithril is a precious metal unique to Nantu Country, and its annual output does not exceed two taels.When the new king of Nantu Kingdom married his queen, he spent more than a catty to make jewelry for his queen.In the end, the craftsman made five identical hairpins, but only three were paid as tribute.Because of the preciousness of Xuesi Mithril, after this matter was discovered, there was an uproar. Unfortunately, the craftsman died early, and there was no news about the remaining two hairpins.

Speaking of businessmen, everyone with aspirations looked at Xue Baochai, but such a precious hairpin can not be overstated as a family heirloom, why would Xue Baochai give it to Concubine Jin?If Xue Baochai really poisoned Concubine Yuan, because Concubine Jin knew the truth and wanted to seal Concubine Jin's mouth, there are many ways, why send such precious and obvious evidence to her? Is it a big hidden danger?

Others were thinking about the hairpin, but Xuan Zhiyuan looked at the third master thoughtfully.

Jia Huan calmly told the information about the hairpin. On the surface, he said that the hairpin was rare, but in fact he revealed a lot.

First, the emperor could not find out the whereabouts of the two hairpins, but Jia Huan did, which shows how well-developed his news network is.Second, Jia Huan mentioned the Persian royal family, which shows its sphere of influence.Third, others don't know, but Xuan Zhiyuan knows that some of the economic lifelines of Daqing and its surrounding countries are in the hands of Jia Huan.And people like Tang Wuli and Si Yao are not ordinary subordinates or maids.All this shows that Jia Huan, the little favorite of King Yuchen in the eyes of everyone, is not much less powerful than the emperor, and may be much greater than he thinks.

Xuan Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, but he wasn't too worried.When Xuan Yi brought Tang Wuli in front of him, he had a vague feeling in his heart.Would it be an ordinary and simple character who could be seen and loved by the No.1 Yuchen Wang of Daqing?He was also worried that Jia Huan was too powerful, but when he thought about it, with King Yuchen around, what was he afraid of?

Thinking about it this way, his eyes fell on Concubine Jin again, let's figure out what's in front of him first.

It has to be said that for King Yuchen and the people of Daqing, from the emperor to the pawns, there is a kind of blind worship and trust.

Concubine Jin stared at the third master in horror, opened her mouth silently, and finally closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, a string of tears fell down her face as she closed her eyes.

"Yes, I'm lying."

Without the panic and bewilderment just now, the timidity and cowardice of the past faded away, Concubine Jin seemed to be a different person, suddenly became calm and indifferent.

Concubine Jin took the hairpin from her head and said quietly:

"This hairpin was not given to me by Huigui, but I asked Mrs. Xue for it."

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, shouting in his heart that it was impossible, and stared at Jin Fei as he continued.

"The Empress Dowager also knows that although I come from a family, my mother died early. My father has always disliked me. After the rebirth, under the instigation of my stepmother, my father disliked me even more. At the beginning, I entered the palace with my sister to be elected. I hope my sister can be selected, if you didn't feel sorry for me and let the emperor choose me, I'm not sure what will happen now!"

Concubine Jin told her life experience with a wry smile, and there was a trace of gratitude to the Queen Mother in her words.Thinking of the time when she entered the palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help sighing.Unexpectedly, Concubine Jin suddenly became hysterical.

"But you don't know, I don't want to enter the palace at all! I don't want to be the emperor's concubine at all!"

"I already had a lover of my own, but I entered the palace! Originally, I had already given up on it. I buried this friendship in my heart and became the emperor's Concubine Jin peacefully, but she!"

Concubine Jin pointed excitedly at the delivery room,

"That day, Dian Cui who was next to Jia Yuanchun suddenly came to tell me that my lover was in their hands. I entered the palace for ten years, but he waited for me for ten years!..."

Concubine Jin broke down in tears as she spoke, and everyone was terrified by her performance, but the third master didn't feel anything, but always felt that Concubine Jin's behavior was a little strange.Seeing her speaking slowly and unclearly, the third master became impatient.

"Tang Wuli, come out! What's going on, tell me clearly!"

Tang Wuli appeared in everyone's sight like a ghost, even Xuan Zhiyuan who knew his existence was startled, let alone the others.Concubine Wu, on the other hand, twitched the corner of her mouth, and she didn't show anything else.

Tang Wuli raised his brows, the master asked him to be a killer to do the investigation, he can accept it, he has learned a lot after watching too many harem battles.But the love between children, storytelling, etc.... can make him shake off goose bumps every time.
