Red House Farm Stay
Chapter 106 Collusion
King Zhongyong has recently been favored again, because he collected a lake stone ornament for the emperor, which naturally has the word "long live" on it. Presenting such an auspicious omen at such a time really makes the emperor very happy.
And the women who entered the palace with Hushi, said to be the women who took care of Hushi, were all stunning beauties, and soon the emperor accepted them one by one.
The empress is as virtuous as before, and placed these beauties in her palace to facilitate the emperor's summons.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the queen's palace, these beauties fell ill one by one.The last investigation turned out to be poisoned.
The concubines who consciously found opportunities in the harem fell into trouble one after another and pointed their swords at the queen.
The women in the palace entangled the emperor, making him upset, and King Zhongyong took the opportunity to join forces in Jinling. When Jia Lian found out that something was wrong, he probably had reached an agreement with General Gao who was staying in Jinling City.
Jia's family has moved, Ping'er bought many servants and came back, and Fu'er was redeemed by Jia Zhuo as promised.After being redeemed by her aunt, she soon married her cousin, and Jia Zhuo gave her 50 taels of silver as a gift.
"Among them, 20 taels are your net worth, and most of them are my make-up for you. You live a good life outside, and everything about the Jia family is just a dream, forget it."
"Miss, I understand that everything around you is that you don't say a word to your cousin. In fact, you are really nice, but you are fierce on the surface. In fact, you put yourself in other people's shoes better than anyone else." Fu Er'er resumed her original name, she was called Chunniu, and she spoke a lot more boldly.
Sending off Chunniu, there are two more people in Jia Zhuo's room, and they are the personal maids that Ping'er gave her.After moving to the big house, Jia Zhuo also had his own small world, besides the personal servant girl, there were also two rough envoy women and two rough envoy girls.
Going to Suyunfang again, Xiao Cai asked her, "Are you sure that Fu'er has redeemed her body?"
"She wants to be a free person, so I won't force her to stay." Jia Zhuo nodded, seeing that Xiao Cai's face was not right, "If you want to, I will agree."
The other masters wished that the servants would not have two hearts, and would always be loyal to the master.Jia Zhuo naturally didn't think so. She couldn't change the status quo of buying and selling people, but at least she could support these slaves to redeem themselves and become commoners.
Even a little change is better than nothing.
"I, I don't think so. It's Haiyue. Last time Fu'er came to say goodbye to us, Haiyue asked me in private if she could also redeem herself."
If it was another master, Xiao Cai would definitely let her get rid of this idea, and even scold her for being uneasy.But because the host is Jia Zhuo, she naturally has a sense of trust, thinking that Jia Zhuo will not be angry because of this incident.
"Tell her, yes." Jia Zhuo appreciates this kind of people who have the courage to change themselves, but the money for redemption is a threshold.
Xiaocai's eyes flickered, and she sighed softly, "Haiyue is the smartest of these maids, I really can't bear it."
"It's not just a matter of time before she leaves. After a few years, the business will still be so good. Let's add more people." Jia Zhuo patted Xiaocai and laughed.
Jia Zhuo took the letter written by Baner to Wang Gou'er to Wang Gou'er, went to Wang's house again, and then returned home.
As soon as he entered the room to say hello to Ping'er, he saw Jia Lian walking up and down the room. It was rare to see him staying at home in broad daylight.
"What's the matter, you don't want to tell me, you can talk to the child." Ping'er hugged An Ge and patted her. Jia Lian walked around, and she was dizzy.
"Father, what's bothering you so much?" Jia Zhuo waved back and poured himself a glass of water.
"Why am I so stupid?" Jia Lian blamed himself first, and then said: "The captain of the city defense army is Lin Jia who used to go out with King Zhongyong, and General Gao who was stationed outside the city is also flirting with King Zhongyong now. I How come you didn’t see it until now, tell me, isn’t it very dangerous.”
Jia Zhuo thought to himself, these are not the most important, the most important thing is King Suqing's attitude.If they are willing to come, King Zhongyong will definitely turn against him. If they refuse to come, King Zhongyong may have to hesitate and think again.
"Where is the empress?" Jia Zhuo looked at Ping'er.
Ping'er shook his head, "Recently there has been a lot of trouble in the palace. Because of the poisoning of several beauties, the empress was in a state of distress. She handed over the sign several times, but I was not allowed to enter the palace."
"Can I contact Aunt Duan to pass on a message?" Jia Zhuo frowned. If King Zhongyong rebelled, he would never let Jia's family go. At that time, she would really be the meat on her chopping board and let him slaughter her.
"I'll give it a try." Ping'er was not optimistic. Just after the incident of poisoning in the harem, King Zhongyong heard another change. The beauties who were poisoned in the harem were all respected by King Zhongyong. No one would believe that it wasn't him. .
"Our emperor is really..." Jia Lian sighed deeply, not knowing how to describe it.
Jia Zhuo didn't know how to describe the emperor, when he received the first good news from the army, his eyes and brows were filled with joy.Naturally, the court sang praises, as if he was the most enlightened emperor in the world.
"Mingjun, hehe." Jia Peng snorted in his heart, he couldn't even see such a simple trick in the harem, and a few beauties could lose their head after crying, and they could also be called Mingjun.
"I was careless." Jia Peng had to admit that she was also at fault.She thought she could control the emperor's heart, but it turned out that a few beauties could shake the emperor's trust in her.
Maybe he doesn't believe in anyone, he always only believes in himself.
Jia Peng laughed at herself, if she doesn't even have the trust of the emperor, what is left for her?What can she use to secure the Seventh Prince's accession to the throne?
"Your Majesty, the Emperor will understand sooner or later. Those little goblins have gone to the other concubines' palaces, and they will make trouble if they should. Then they will watch." Aunt Duan tried her best to appease the Empress, and the Emperor was quite upset. The sky has not come, which makes the whole palace very tense.
"You mean, they have been very quiet in other palaces, and nothing happened?" A thought slipped through the Queen's mind, and she held on tightly.
"For the time being, but..." Before Aunt Duan finished speaking, Jia Peng impatiently raised her hand, "You don't need to say anything, I understand."
This was aimed at her at all, with a clear purpose.
Jia Peng knew whether or not she had poisoned her, so these beauties must have been responsible for their troubles in her palace.
Living in the queen's palace, the chance to see the emperor is the most, plus, the queen is generous and not jealous, there is no beauty in the palace who does not want to live in the side hall of the queen's palace.
But they ignored such a gift, and left by themselves, but they went to other concubines' palaces, but there was no more movement.When you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense at all.
Aunt Duan also understood, and asked in astonishment, "Who could it be?"
These beauties are purely for disgusting the empress, not for their own promotion, nor for other concubines as helpers.
"Who sent them into the palace." Jia Peng completely understood that the King Zhongyong basically didn't touch the harem before, so Jia Peng relaxed his vigilance in this regard.Unexpectedly, he still reached out to the harem.
"He won't do this for no reason. Check, has anyone from my natal family passed a sign to enter the palace recently?" The queen regained her anger. The defeat of the past few days made her extremely depressed, but finding out the truth would only arouse her to be aggressive. side.
"Yes." Aunt Duan led the order to go down, and came back after a while, her face was ashen, "Someone dared to stop the empress and sister-in-law from handing over the signboard for entering the palace."
"Hmph, a villain who sees the wind and steers the rudder. Go, the Seventh Prince occasionally feels a cold, so call the imperial doctor."
"Yes." Aunt Duan stepped back without saying a word. As for the healthy Seventh Prince, it doesn't matter if he drinks some tonic occasionally.
The emperor hurried to the queen's palace. He loved his youngest son very much.Seeing the queen's red eyes, my heart softened.
The imperial physician frowned and said, "The Seventh Prince's illness came a little strangely, and logically the wind and cold wouldn't come so quickly."
"I also find it strange, what's going on." Jia Peng frowned, not responding to the love and pity in the emperor's eyes.
"Your Highness, have you eaten anything you don't understand today, or touched something you rarely touch?" the imperial physician asked.
The seventh prince's voice was weak, and after thinking for a long time, he said nervously: "When I finished class, a little eunuch gave me a sachet, saying that it was a beauty who lived in the mother's harem before, and it was for the mother. Empress Mother feels ashamed, she is too embarrassed to go in person, and specially asked me to pass it on."
"Where's the sachet?" Jia Peng snatched the sachet out of his sleeve from his son, and it was almost deformed before Aunt Duan handed it to the imperial physician.
Opening it and pulling it open, the imperial doctor's face changed suddenly, "I'm afraid it's the problem with this sachet, the spices inside are poisonous. And it's exactly the same poison as the beauties in your palace were poisoned before."
"Check, what is it, and how did it enter the palace." Jia Peng's face was ashen, and he didn't even look at the emperor's face.
"This kind of spice is not sold in Jinling, and it is only produced in the far western border." The imperial physician replied respectfully.
In the western border, Hu Shi and those beauties are all from the western border.
The emperor's complexion immediately became ugly, and Jia Peng's complexion was even more gray.As soon as the imperial doctor left, he patted his son, saw that he was asleep, got up and went out, and ignored the emperor.
It was the emperor who took the initiative to follow to the queen's bedroom and held Jia Peng's hand, "Zi Tong, I blamed you."
Jia Peng tried hard to withdraw her hand, but the emperor held it tighter and tighter. She suddenly threw herself into the emperor's arms and burst into tears.
Aunt Duan tactfully exited the door and closed the door quietly.The Seventh Prince, who was sleeping soundly next door, also smiled in his sleep.
Ping'er was finally able to enter the palace, and with what happened before, and comparing what Ping'er said, Jia Peng understood everything.
"This beast, what the hell is he trying to do?"
Ping'er didn't dare to answer. In fact, everyone knew what else he could do. He rebelled while Huo Shangshu and Mr. Zhou were away.
Once the emperor died, he ascended the throne, and Huo Shangshu had to recognize it or not.
"Go back and tell your second brother to keep an eye on him."
Sending Ping'er away, that night, the queen used the Seventh Prince's illness as an excuse to cook in person and invited the emperor to come to the banquet.
Holding the invitation card written by his son, the emperor stepped in with a big laugh, "My family is still posting, Zi Tong is drinking at the player's house."
"Isn't it just for fun? He has a child's heart, and his illness is just right, let him play." With a loving mother's expression on his face, Jia Peng gave the emperor an affectionate look, which greatly benefited him.
After the family dinner, the two chatted about family affairs, Jia Peng seemed to have no intention of saying: "Yong Er doesn't seem to have a concubine yet, should I add two more people, so that the emperor's grandson will be born earlier, and the emperor will not worry about him."
King Zhongyong doesn't even have a concubine son, let alone a concubine son, so it's naturally a heart problem.
The emperor nodded heavily when he heard the words, "Since you say that, have you already taken a fancy to some beauties?"
"Your Majesty, you don't care too much about Yong'er. I'm afraid he already has someone he likes, otherwise he's always going to Lieutenant Lin's house these days. Who doesn't know that Lieutenant Lin has a beautiful younger sister."
"Lin Jia?" The emperor's expression completely changed.
"That's right, didn't they go to the battlefield together? They had a good relationship, Your Majesty, do you think this is a good relationship?"
"Yong'er's side concubine Zhen has her own plans, but Xiao Qi, what kind of wife do you want to marry him." The emperor changed the topic to the seventh prince.
"It's a pity that my natal family doesn't have a girl of the right age, otherwise the concubine really hopes that he can marry a daughter from the Jia family."
"Why?" The Jia family has nothing to show off now, and they can't help the Seventh Prince with anything, instead they want to benefit from his glory in the future.
Jia Peng's voice lowered, "You also know the concubine's natal family, the current situation is really sad. If Xiao Qi can find a daughter from Jia's family, someone will take care of her in the future."
The emperor showed a slight smile, "You are just careless."
Jia Peng blushed, and innocently hugged the emperor's arm like a girl, acting like a spoiled child, "What do you want to do with your heart, isn't it true that everything depends on the emperor?"
The queen is careless, so naturally there is someone who has a mind.
The emperor did not stay in the queen's palace, nor did he go to any of the concubines' palaces, he went straight to his own Guanghua palace to review the memorial, including summoning several secret guards.
Lin Jia was suddenly transferred, and the defenders of the city defense were replaced by Feng Duwei, the emperor's confidant.
While the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief, Marshal Huo also sent back good news. Although the Japanese pirates were brave, they were on land instead of sea, and they didn't know how to deploy troops.Only relying on the bravery of an individual cannot control the situation of the battle.
The only pity is that Marshal Huo also suffered heavy casualties here.
"As long as Marshal Huo and the others come back from victory earlier, King Zhongyong will not dare to act rashly." Jia's family comforted themselves in this way, only Jia Zhuo felt that there was no turning back when he opened the bow.
Not long after, the emperor fainted suddenly, and Jia Peng ordered the palace gate to be closed.As soon as Jia Lian came home and said, Jia Zhuo jumped up.
"King Zhongyong wants to rebel, this is the best opportunity."
"But Lieutenant Lin has been replaced, and now the city gate guards are in the hands of the emperor, and the empress ordered the palace gates to be closed, and no royal children are allowed to leave the city."
"Feng Duwei is in charge of the city defense for the first time, can he really plug all the loopholes he dug before?" Jia Zhuo didn't believe it. Lin Jia had been cultivating the city defense for several years. How could the old and cronies be that Feng Duwei, who just took office, could clean it up in a few days? of.
"Then what should we do?" Jia Lian didn't have an official position, but he really couldn't reach them.
"Keep an eye on Lieutenant Lin and see what he's doing?" It's unrealistic to stare at King Zhongyong. When a prince travels, there are at least dozens of people shouting and hugging him.If he deliberately hides from view, it's really not something ordinary people can keep an eye on.On the contrary, Lin Jia was moved to a quiet position, and there were not so many people following him in and out, so he was easy to watch.
This stare led to a shocking case, Lin Jia let King Zhongyong out of the city privately, Jia Lian called him out on the spot.But helplessly, it was still a step too late. King Zhongyong had already left the city. Fortunately, Lin Jia was arrested. Feng Duwei learned under interrogation that if Jia Lian hadn't figured it out, his next step would be to instigate rebellion against the city defenders.
At the moment, Lian Lian was sweating coldly, secretly calling for danger.
King Zhongyong, together with General Gao, the garrison outside the city, held high the banner of the Qing emperor, spreading the news that the emperor was kidnapped by the demon concubine, causing chaos to the court.
If Lin Jia hadn't been captured by Captain Feng, there would be no need to siege the city right now, and he could directly attack the palace.
It happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.The whole city of Jinling was in chaos, so Jia Zhuo simply closed the shop, and took all the Wang family and the maids from the shop to his own home and settled them down.
Jia Peng also panicked. The emperor had already woken up, but when he heard the news of King Zhongyong's rebellion, he passed out again. When he woke up again, he had a stroke and was bedridden, almost unable to speak a complete word.Seeing that the emperor could not be counted on, Jia Peng took out the phoenix seal, took the seventh prince to preside over the government, and asked the officials how to deal with it.
The opinions of the ministers were almost unanimous, that is, to send the letter urgently at eight hundred miles, and let Marshal Huo return for help.
Jia Peng immediately passed on the letter and stamped it with the phoenix seal. The messengers rushed out from several city gates at the same time, but they didn't know when they would reach Marshal Huo, let alone whether Marshal Huo would return in time.
Fortunately, the Jia family changed to a bigger house, not only taking over the Wang family, but also taking over Li Wan and Du Yue.Originally, Jia Lian wanted to ask if Du Yue wanted to go back to her natal family. Although General Du was not there, the nursing home at home was not comparable to other homes, but Du Yue insisted on staying with Li Wan.
Jia Zhuo arranged a small courtyard for the Wang family, and Xiao Cai and several maidservants were also placed in this courtyard together.Li Yan and Du Yue also lived in the same courtyard, and Du Yue also brought his guards to Jia's house.
There were so many people living in the house at once, and Ping'er was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, so An Ge couldn't see his mother for several days, crying with tears in his eyes, so Jia Zhuo consciously took on the burden of the housekeeper.
She didn't take care of it alone, and took Qing'er with her.At the same time as the director, she also taught her how to be in charge of the house.
Qing'er likes to be lively the most, but at this time, she doesn't see joy at all, the army outside the city is overwhelming.What happened to Xiaodongshan that day actually happened again.
How long the siege will last this time, and whether the army will break into the city, no one knows.
Jia Peng stood on the palace wall, holding the seventh prince tightly by the hand. The emperor suffered a stroke and was bedridden.It seems that the scenery is incomparable, and it seems that she has achieved everything she thought of one step ahead of schedule.
But at this time, she knew what real fear was. It seemed that overnight, all the responsibilities and responsibilities were on her shoulders, making it inevitable for her to avoid it.
Whether their mother and son can resist, everything is unknown.
Jinling City was besieged, and all supplies became tense. Fortunately, Jia's food was not worrying, but vegetables, fruits, and fish were increasingly difficult to buy.Fortunately, Jia Zhuo saw that the new house was big and deserted when no one lived in it, and he didn't want to let the servants idle to make trouble, so it was full of vegetables.
At this moment, these vegetables have become life-saving things.
"Miss Zhuo, I heard that Mrs. Lan was not feeling well at dinner yesterday. Her personal servant girl wanted to invite the doctor, but she stopped her. But I see her face today, it seems that she is still not good." Qing'er said Xiaocai and a few servant girls are not idle in the mansion, and they run errands with them, so naturally they know everything about them.Xiao Cai has a very good relationship with Qing'er, she will tell her anything.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, and quickly sent someone to invite the doctor."
"That's what I said, but it's very chaotic outside now. I heard from the people at the door that many shops are closed."
"If you are sick, you have to be cured. Let the disciples directly ask for it. If the doctor doesn't come, he will go to the doctor's house. If he doesn't come, he will say that we will pay with food and vegetables."
The one on the door took the cart to the door, and sure enough, he invited the doctor back. Jia Zhuo took someone directly to Li Wan's room to see Du Yue's symptoms.
"Auntie, father, mother, and I sincerely invited you here. We are afraid that you will be outnumbered in the house. If anything happens, we will be beyond our reach. If you feel so uncomfortable when you come to our house, it doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable. Said, then didn’t we do bad things with good intentions.”
"It's none of Mother's business, I didn't tell Mother." Du Yue's cheeks were flushed, and she stretched out her wrist to give the doctor's pulse. Although her face was nervous, there was a hint of joy.
Everyone in the room understood at once, especially Li Wan who had already touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist and began to recite the Buddha's name in his heart.
Following the doctor's congratulations, Li Wan almost cried with joy, and then said angrily, "You child, why didn't you say it earlier."
"It's just a little disgusting, I'm not sure, I want to wait and say. I never thought, my sister is like riding a hot wheel, so I invite the doctor." Du Yue covered his mouth and chuckled, and Li Wan followed the crowd laugh it out.
She hadn't laughed like this since her son went to the front line, but she was very happy.
Jia Zhuo hurried to send the doctor, and delivered food and vegetables as promised.When the doctor saw the vegetables, his eyes lit up. His family was not bad, but he had a lot of food in his house, so he couldn't stop cooking for a while.But at this juncture, vegetables are really rare items, and they are more expensive than food.
After a while, the whole family knew about Du Yue's happy event, and they all came to congratulate him.
Jia Zhuo hurriedly sent someone to Du's house to deliver the good news. The family affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and the interpersonal relationship outside was also taken care of.
Jia Lian went out every day to find out the news. The Jun family was sealed off on the day King Zhongyong left the city, and everyone was thrown into prison. This kind of thing happened.
The long history of the palace is mostly empty, and I don't know when it was sent away, and Jia Rong is even missing.But she, the princess, was left behind by her, regardless of life or death.
"The imperial court can't do anything about the Jun's family now. After all, King Suqing's eldest son and concubine are also from the Jun's family. They don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face." Jia Lian returned home and sent back the news of the past few days, and then turned to Jia Zhuo, "Tell my sister-in-law that there is nothing wrong with General Du's mansion."
The in-laws are old at home, and Jia Lian always goes there every few days to see the situation.
"understood."
As soon as Jia Zhuo finished speaking, he saw servants coming in like a wind, and shouted at them, "King Suqing sent troops, sent troops, sent troops, sent troops, sent troops."
Jia Lian was startled, "You take care of the house, I'll come back after I go out to inquire about it."
"I'll go with you." Wang Gou'er, who also got the news, also rushed over, and the two left together.
The rest of the people gathered together, waiting for the news with trepidation.
At night, Wang Gou'er returned first, seeing Jia Zhuo's face turned pale, he hurriedly said: "Second Master has entered the palace, and will be sent back by the imperial army in a while, don't worry."
"Outside, what's going on." Since Jia Lian was fine, what happened outside was what everyone wanted to know most.
"Prince Suqing's son has brought troops and is already stationed outside Jinling City, but he doesn't know what his purpose is." Wang Gou'er sighed, it's okay to help the court, but it would be really bad if he helped King Zhongyong.In terms of military use in the whole of Da Viet, only Marshal Huo can compete with King Suqing. However, Marshal Huo is already old, and the son of King Suqing is better than blue.
"Where's Baner?" Jia Zhuo's face was completely pale, and it was terribly white.
There was no letter from Ban'er, not even a secret letter.Prince Suqing's son came first, what happened to him and Mr. Zhou, are they safe?Although there were such and such settings before, it was a gamble after all, betting that King Suqing would not dare, betting that King Suqing would not.
But in front of the throne, what are a few human lives worth? If he really dared, would he really do it?
Wang Gou'er shook his head. He kept silent, just because he didn't want to make everyone, especially Jia Zhuo, worry, but Jia Zhuo called him off.Everyone knows what Ban Er followed Mr. Zhou to Andu Mansion.Now that Prince Suqing's son is here, they have no news about what it means, and no one is worried.
Jia Zhuo was on the verge of falling, and Ping'er supported her, "You have to trust him, we all can't mess up by ourselves at this time. With you waiting for him, how could he not come back, no matter what, he will come back, Yes or no."
"Yes, he will definitely come back." Wang Ping'er kept showing her eyes, letting her look at Liu Shi who was about to faint. Grandma was getting old, and she was accompanied by Qing'er in her yard and did not come over.
Jia Zhuoqiang stabilized his mind, went to sit next to Mrs. Liu, and quickly organized his words, "Auntie, Mr. Zhou who is following Ban'er is the teacher of King Suqing. Don't worry, King Suqing will never treat his teacher like you." Let's do it, otherwise he won't be able to hold his head up as a man in his life."
Respecting teachers and valuing education is an understanding that is immersed in everyone's thinking. After hearing this, Mrs. Liu really felt much better. She held Jia Zhuo's hand and refused to let go. Don't tell grandma.
Jia Lian didn't come back until midnight, and everyone else had already gone to sleep, only Ping'er and Jia Zhuo were waiting for him.
"It's so late." Jia Lian came back, rubbing his eyelids and screaming hungry.
Ping'er hurriedly asked the kitchen to use chicken soup to pour out noodles and serve them up, "If you don't come back, how can we sleep."
Jia Lian ate a large bowl of noodle soup with soup and water in three or five bites, "The Empress asked me to go with the people in the court to meet Prince Suqing's son and see what his intentions are."
"Why did I let you go? If you are not an official or a job, why should it be you?" Ping'er looked aggrieved. Uncle Guo's score had never been displayed once, and he had never enjoyed any preferential treatment. matter, let him go.
"Those who have been favored by the emperor, why don't you go." Ping'er added bitterly, his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Because the empress wants father to use this opportunity in exchange for meritorious service, so that rewards can block Youyou's ranks in the future." Jia Zhuo sighed. At this time, she thought of Jia's family.
"Wealth and wealth are in danger, and my mother said so, as long as I go, Jia's house will be the Duke's mansion when I come back." Jia Lian was not as angry as they were, he had already thought clearly, and Jia Peng was connected because of this trace of kinship. into a cooperative relationship.They each take what they want, but whatever they want, they have to give.
"Don't think of her as the eldest lady of the mansion, just think of her as the empress." Jia Lian took Ping'er's hand and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ping'er quickly knocked off his hand, and she felt embarrassed in front of Jia Zhuo.
"Will Daddy go?" Jia Zhuo knew that he had to go.Even if he didn't want to go, if the members of the Jia family found out in the future, how could he pretend to be the main family member of the direct line.There is also Jia Lan, although their uncle and nephew have a good relationship, but Jia Lanke has been admitted to the official and has military exploits. What does Jia Lian have?
Most importantly, there is An Ge.I'm afraid Jia Lian would rather risk his life to get a title for his son, and also be worthy of the Jia family's ancestors.
Jia Lian acquiesced with a wry smile.
Jia Zhuo had nothing to say and could only ask, "My daughter has nothing else to say, she just hopes that she can take me with her."
"No."
"No."
The couple said in unison, Ping'er's eyes widened in horror, "What nonsense, that's not the place you can go."
"Listen to me, Prince Suqing owes me a condition. Anyway, at least our father and daughter can come back safely."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "That's not okay, you don't understand the sinister people, what you owe you, if you kill you, you don't owe anything."
This is the throne, the whole country of Dayue, how can it be stopped by the promise of one or two people.
"Father thinks it through himself. If you don't take me there, I will go by myself. You know what will happen to the charge of trespassing. As for locking me up at home, don't even think about it. After being in charge for so long, one or two foolish and loyal servants can still give orders."
"Even if I agree, it's impossible for other adults to agree." Jia Lian was so angry at his daughter that he really had a temper, why didn't he find out earlier.
In the end, Jia Zhuo changed into the clothes of his subordinates, pretended to be a long follower, and followed Jia Lian out of the city.
The military camp of King Suqing's son was stationed outside the city. When Jia Lian and his party entered, they saw Jia Rong and several senior officials from the palace coming out of the military tent.
Jia Lian and him looked at each other. When they were young and absurd, they were friends of wine and meat, playmates of fooling around.Seeing each other now seems like a world away, and there is only hatred and contempt for each other in their eyes.
Someone ushered them into the military tent, and someone was clearing up the leftover teacups of the previous people. Liu Shangshu, who led the team, took the lead in cupping his hands and said, "Your Majesty brought troops into the capital without receiving an order. You know, it is already a capital offense."
Those who followed were shocked, but they only dared to mutter in their hearts, knowing that you are not afraid of death, but we don't want to be buried with you.Offending people to death as soon as he opened his mouth, could it be that he wants to die here to gain a clear name? These clear thoughts are really hateful.
Prince Suqing smiled instead of anger, "Since it's a capital crime, why didn't the imperial court send a large army and send you here instead? They don't think that you can arrest people with just a few of you."
"Of course I can't, so I dare to ask Shizi why he came here." Liu Shangshu is also one of Mr. Zhou's disciples. This time he went inside to find out the truth, not only to find out the truth about the son, but also to find out the whereabouts of the teacher.
"Huh, I still have the face to ask why this general came here. The whole of Da Viet is ruled by you, and there are rebels everywhere. I have gone quite a lot, is this the fate of you noble literati running the country?"
Prince Suqing's son seemed to be suffocating for a long time. In his opinion, the anti-king could have been wiped out a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. It is a pity how many people will be lost and how much land will be desolate.
It was so easy to send out the army to encircle and suppress, and the Zhongyong King rebelled. One of the emperor's sons was like this, and the other was still like this. It can be seen that they are broken from the root.
Liu Shangshu's face was burning with panic, but he retorted in a deep voice, "Andu Mansion lives in a remote corner, with few lands and few people. In addition, it is dominated by military households, so it is easy to manage. Now that the Japanese pirates have come ashore, and the royal blood is involved, it is natural. Handle it carefully, it will inevitably take more time. It’s just that everything is under control, if the son is really for the good of the people, he shouldn’t take this troubled water again.”
"Do you really think that Marshal Huo is in control of everything? Didn't you realize that the military report that should have been sent back a long time ago has never been sent back?"
Liu Shangshu really aroused his vigilance, and then a person walked in outside the tent, Liu Shangshu almost rushed forward when he saw it, "Sir, you are well."
"I can't die." Mr. Zhou looked at his student and sighed softly, "Huo Shuai may be in trouble."
Marshal Huo had already defeated the Japanese pirates against the king, but he didn't expect that the anti-king secretly colluded with several rebels who claimed to be kings and surrounded them in several ways. The Japanese pirates also discovered their own shortcomings and agreed to let them The anti-king led his own troops.
Moreover, they revealed the means they had been hiding all along. All the horses were equipped with Japanese pirates' long knives. This kind of knives was extremely lethal. Putting them on the battlefield would cost the imperial court a lot of money in a short time.
Originally, Marshal Huo's advantage was not that great, but with these factors, the advantage gradually disappeared, and now he has fallen into a hard fight.Not to mention returning aid, if the troops were withdrawn now, the anti-king would probably lead his troops all the way to Jinling.
Liu Shangshu's face turned pale, but he still didn't believe Mr. Zhou's words, "How do we know what Mr. Zhou said is true."
"You don't have to believe it. I have to believe that it's only a little earlier than you. Soon you will have military reports." Mr. Zhou sighed. Grandpa had a sincere talk once.The son spoke eloquently, and almost every sentence predicted today's events.He didn't believe it at the beginning, but he had to believe it when he received a letter from Fei Ge yesterday.
Liu Shangshu's thoughts changed sharply, he already knew that Da Yue had reached the most dangerous moment, and his life and death depended on King Suqing's thoughts.
He handed over again, but this time he was much more sincere, "Mr. is walking with the son, the son must not have the heart of disobedience, if you have any request, you can make it to the court."
Prince Suqing was about to speak, but he saw a pair of black and white eyeballs rolling around, and smiled inwardly.This woman is really brave.
"Protecting the family and defending the country is not a business, how can it be weighed in terms of weight." The son shook his head.
"Will Mr. Zhou come back to the city with us?"
"What are you doing back with you guys? I want to stay and watch the battle." Mr. Zhou flicked his sleeve and almost touched Jia Zhuo's face. She gave him a wry smile and knew that he had seen her identity on purpose.
But this also shows that there is nothing wrong with Ban'er, otherwise Mr. Zhou would not be so confident.
Liu Shangshu and his party went back safely, not to mention Jia Zhuo, even Jia Lian had no chance to speak.
Jia Lian was about to enter the palace, but Jia Zhuo went home first and told the Wang family that nothing was wrong.
"Although I haven't seen it, Mr. Zhou is here, and he gave me a glare when he saw me. Ban'er is definitely fine."
Wang Gou'er nodded repeatedly, "That must be the case."
"Ban'er is just outside the city, why doesn't he go home." Mrs. Liu was still a little dazed and didn't understand the situation.
"Ban'er worships Mr. as his teacher, so naturally he wants to serve him." Wang Gou'er said firmly, "Why did Ban'er leave Mr. alone?"
What they didn't know was that Ban'er was really not by Mr. Zhou's side. He was riding on horseback with Li Hong beside him.
"It's almost there, hold on." In Li Hong's heart, Ban'er was always a scholar, so he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up because of his weak body.
"I can keep up, just go faster." Ban'er saw Li Hong's speed slowed down, and said anxiously.
Soon, this small group of people accelerated and rushed forward again.
And the women who entered the palace with Hushi, said to be the women who took care of Hushi, were all stunning beauties, and soon the emperor accepted them one by one.
The empress is as virtuous as before, and placed these beauties in her palace to facilitate the emperor's summons.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the queen's palace, these beauties fell ill one by one.The last investigation turned out to be poisoned.
The concubines who consciously found opportunities in the harem fell into trouble one after another and pointed their swords at the queen.
The women in the palace entangled the emperor, making him upset, and King Zhongyong took the opportunity to join forces in Jinling. When Jia Lian found out that something was wrong, he probably had reached an agreement with General Gao who was staying in Jinling City.
Jia's family has moved, Ping'er bought many servants and came back, and Fu'er was redeemed by Jia Zhuo as promised.After being redeemed by her aunt, she soon married her cousin, and Jia Zhuo gave her 50 taels of silver as a gift.
"Among them, 20 taels are your net worth, and most of them are my make-up for you. You live a good life outside, and everything about the Jia family is just a dream, forget it."
"Miss, I understand that everything around you is that you don't say a word to your cousin. In fact, you are really nice, but you are fierce on the surface. In fact, you put yourself in other people's shoes better than anyone else." Fu Er'er resumed her original name, she was called Chunniu, and she spoke a lot more boldly.
Sending off Chunniu, there are two more people in Jia Zhuo's room, and they are the personal maids that Ping'er gave her.After moving to the big house, Jia Zhuo also had his own small world, besides the personal servant girl, there were also two rough envoy women and two rough envoy girls.
Going to Suyunfang again, Xiao Cai asked her, "Are you sure that Fu'er has redeemed her body?"
"She wants to be a free person, so I won't force her to stay." Jia Zhuo nodded, seeing that Xiao Cai's face was not right, "If you want to, I will agree."
The other masters wished that the servants would not have two hearts, and would always be loyal to the master.Jia Zhuo naturally didn't think so. She couldn't change the status quo of buying and selling people, but at least she could support these slaves to redeem themselves and become commoners.
Even a little change is better than nothing.
"I, I don't think so. It's Haiyue. Last time Fu'er came to say goodbye to us, Haiyue asked me in private if she could also redeem herself."
If it was another master, Xiao Cai would definitely let her get rid of this idea, and even scold her for being uneasy.But because the host is Jia Zhuo, she naturally has a sense of trust, thinking that Jia Zhuo will not be angry because of this incident.
"Tell her, yes." Jia Zhuo appreciates this kind of people who have the courage to change themselves, but the money for redemption is a threshold.
Xiaocai's eyes flickered, and she sighed softly, "Haiyue is the smartest of these maids, I really can't bear it."
"It's not just a matter of time before she leaves. After a few years, the business will still be so good. Let's add more people." Jia Zhuo patted Xiaocai and laughed.
Jia Zhuo took the letter written by Baner to Wang Gou'er to Wang Gou'er, went to Wang's house again, and then returned home.
As soon as he entered the room to say hello to Ping'er, he saw Jia Lian walking up and down the room. It was rare to see him staying at home in broad daylight.
"What's the matter, you don't want to tell me, you can talk to the child." Ping'er hugged An Ge and patted her. Jia Lian walked around, and she was dizzy.
"Father, what's bothering you so much?" Jia Zhuo waved back and poured himself a glass of water.
"Why am I so stupid?" Jia Lian blamed himself first, and then said: "The captain of the city defense army is Lin Jia who used to go out with King Zhongyong, and General Gao who was stationed outside the city is also flirting with King Zhongyong now. I How come you didn’t see it until now, tell me, isn’t it very dangerous.”
Jia Zhuo thought to himself, these are not the most important, the most important thing is King Suqing's attitude.If they are willing to come, King Zhongyong will definitely turn against him. If they refuse to come, King Zhongyong may have to hesitate and think again.
"Where is the empress?" Jia Zhuo looked at Ping'er.
Ping'er shook his head, "Recently there has been a lot of trouble in the palace. Because of the poisoning of several beauties, the empress was in a state of distress. She handed over the sign several times, but I was not allowed to enter the palace."
"Can I contact Aunt Duan to pass on a message?" Jia Zhuo frowned. If King Zhongyong rebelled, he would never let Jia's family go. At that time, she would really be the meat on her chopping board and let him slaughter her.
"I'll give it a try." Ping'er was not optimistic. Just after the incident of poisoning in the harem, King Zhongyong heard another change. The beauties who were poisoned in the harem were all respected by King Zhongyong. No one would believe that it wasn't him. .
"Our emperor is really..." Jia Lian sighed deeply, not knowing how to describe it.
Jia Zhuo didn't know how to describe the emperor, when he received the first good news from the army, his eyes and brows were filled with joy.Naturally, the court sang praises, as if he was the most enlightened emperor in the world.
"Mingjun, hehe." Jia Peng snorted in his heart, he couldn't even see such a simple trick in the harem, and a few beauties could lose their head after crying, and they could also be called Mingjun.
"I was careless." Jia Peng had to admit that she was also at fault.She thought she could control the emperor's heart, but it turned out that a few beauties could shake the emperor's trust in her.
Maybe he doesn't believe in anyone, he always only believes in himself.
Jia Peng laughed at herself, if she doesn't even have the trust of the emperor, what is left for her?What can she use to secure the Seventh Prince's accession to the throne?
"Your Majesty, the Emperor will understand sooner or later. Those little goblins have gone to the other concubines' palaces, and they will make trouble if they should. Then they will watch." Aunt Duan tried her best to appease the Empress, and the Emperor was quite upset. The sky has not come, which makes the whole palace very tense.
"You mean, they have been very quiet in other palaces, and nothing happened?" A thought slipped through the Queen's mind, and she held on tightly.
"For the time being, but..." Before Aunt Duan finished speaking, Jia Peng impatiently raised her hand, "You don't need to say anything, I understand."
This was aimed at her at all, with a clear purpose.
Jia Peng knew whether or not she had poisoned her, so these beauties must have been responsible for their troubles in her palace.
Living in the queen's palace, the chance to see the emperor is the most, plus, the queen is generous and not jealous, there is no beauty in the palace who does not want to live in the side hall of the queen's palace.
But they ignored such a gift, and left by themselves, but they went to other concubines' palaces, but there was no more movement.When you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense at all.
Aunt Duan also understood, and asked in astonishment, "Who could it be?"
These beauties are purely for disgusting the empress, not for their own promotion, nor for other concubines as helpers.
"Who sent them into the palace." Jia Peng completely understood that the King Zhongyong basically didn't touch the harem before, so Jia Peng relaxed his vigilance in this regard.Unexpectedly, he still reached out to the harem.
"He won't do this for no reason. Check, has anyone from my natal family passed a sign to enter the palace recently?" The queen regained her anger. The defeat of the past few days made her extremely depressed, but finding out the truth would only arouse her to be aggressive. side.
"Yes." Aunt Duan led the order to go down, and came back after a while, her face was ashen, "Someone dared to stop the empress and sister-in-law from handing over the signboard for entering the palace."
"Hmph, a villain who sees the wind and steers the rudder. Go, the Seventh Prince occasionally feels a cold, so call the imperial doctor."
"Yes." Aunt Duan stepped back without saying a word. As for the healthy Seventh Prince, it doesn't matter if he drinks some tonic occasionally.
The emperor hurried to the queen's palace. He loved his youngest son very much.Seeing the queen's red eyes, my heart softened.
The imperial physician frowned and said, "The Seventh Prince's illness came a little strangely, and logically the wind and cold wouldn't come so quickly."
"I also find it strange, what's going on." Jia Peng frowned, not responding to the love and pity in the emperor's eyes.
"Your Highness, have you eaten anything you don't understand today, or touched something you rarely touch?" the imperial physician asked.
The seventh prince's voice was weak, and after thinking for a long time, he said nervously: "When I finished class, a little eunuch gave me a sachet, saying that it was a beauty who lived in the mother's harem before, and it was for the mother. Empress Mother feels ashamed, she is too embarrassed to go in person, and specially asked me to pass it on."
"Where's the sachet?" Jia Peng snatched the sachet out of his sleeve from his son, and it was almost deformed before Aunt Duan handed it to the imperial physician.
Opening it and pulling it open, the imperial doctor's face changed suddenly, "I'm afraid it's the problem with this sachet, the spices inside are poisonous. And it's exactly the same poison as the beauties in your palace were poisoned before."
"Check, what is it, and how did it enter the palace." Jia Peng's face was ashen, and he didn't even look at the emperor's face.
"This kind of spice is not sold in Jinling, and it is only produced in the far western border." The imperial physician replied respectfully.
In the western border, Hu Shi and those beauties are all from the western border.
The emperor's complexion immediately became ugly, and Jia Peng's complexion was even more gray.As soon as the imperial doctor left, he patted his son, saw that he was asleep, got up and went out, and ignored the emperor.
It was the emperor who took the initiative to follow to the queen's bedroom and held Jia Peng's hand, "Zi Tong, I blamed you."
Jia Peng tried hard to withdraw her hand, but the emperor held it tighter and tighter. She suddenly threw herself into the emperor's arms and burst into tears.
Aunt Duan tactfully exited the door and closed the door quietly.The Seventh Prince, who was sleeping soundly next door, also smiled in his sleep.
Ping'er was finally able to enter the palace, and with what happened before, and comparing what Ping'er said, Jia Peng understood everything.
"This beast, what the hell is he trying to do?"
Ping'er didn't dare to answer. In fact, everyone knew what else he could do. He rebelled while Huo Shangshu and Mr. Zhou were away.
Once the emperor died, he ascended the throne, and Huo Shangshu had to recognize it or not.
"Go back and tell your second brother to keep an eye on him."
Sending Ping'er away, that night, the queen used the Seventh Prince's illness as an excuse to cook in person and invited the emperor to come to the banquet.
Holding the invitation card written by his son, the emperor stepped in with a big laugh, "My family is still posting, Zi Tong is drinking at the player's house."
"Isn't it just for fun? He has a child's heart, and his illness is just right, let him play." With a loving mother's expression on his face, Jia Peng gave the emperor an affectionate look, which greatly benefited him.
After the family dinner, the two chatted about family affairs, Jia Peng seemed to have no intention of saying: "Yong Er doesn't seem to have a concubine yet, should I add two more people, so that the emperor's grandson will be born earlier, and the emperor will not worry about him."
King Zhongyong doesn't even have a concubine son, let alone a concubine son, so it's naturally a heart problem.
The emperor nodded heavily when he heard the words, "Since you say that, have you already taken a fancy to some beauties?"
"Your Majesty, you don't care too much about Yong'er. I'm afraid he already has someone he likes, otherwise he's always going to Lieutenant Lin's house these days. Who doesn't know that Lieutenant Lin has a beautiful younger sister."
"Lin Jia?" The emperor's expression completely changed.
"That's right, didn't they go to the battlefield together? They had a good relationship, Your Majesty, do you think this is a good relationship?"
"Yong'er's side concubine Zhen has her own plans, but Xiao Qi, what kind of wife do you want to marry him." The emperor changed the topic to the seventh prince.
"It's a pity that my natal family doesn't have a girl of the right age, otherwise the concubine really hopes that he can marry a daughter from the Jia family."
"Why?" The Jia family has nothing to show off now, and they can't help the Seventh Prince with anything, instead they want to benefit from his glory in the future.
Jia Peng's voice lowered, "You also know the concubine's natal family, the current situation is really sad. If Xiao Qi can find a daughter from Jia's family, someone will take care of her in the future."
The emperor showed a slight smile, "You are just careless."
Jia Peng blushed, and innocently hugged the emperor's arm like a girl, acting like a spoiled child, "What do you want to do with your heart, isn't it true that everything depends on the emperor?"
The queen is careless, so naturally there is someone who has a mind.
The emperor did not stay in the queen's palace, nor did he go to any of the concubines' palaces, he went straight to his own Guanghua palace to review the memorial, including summoning several secret guards.
Lin Jia was suddenly transferred, and the defenders of the city defense were replaced by Feng Duwei, the emperor's confidant.
While the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief, Marshal Huo also sent back good news. Although the Japanese pirates were brave, they were on land instead of sea, and they didn't know how to deploy troops.Only relying on the bravery of an individual cannot control the situation of the battle.
The only pity is that Marshal Huo also suffered heavy casualties here.
"As long as Marshal Huo and the others come back from victory earlier, King Zhongyong will not dare to act rashly." Jia's family comforted themselves in this way, only Jia Zhuo felt that there was no turning back when he opened the bow.
Not long after, the emperor fainted suddenly, and Jia Peng ordered the palace gate to be closed.As soon as Jia Lian came home and said, Jia Zhuo jumped up.
"King Zhongyong wants to rebel, this is the best opportunity."
"But Lieutenant Lin has been replaced, and now the city gate guards are in the hands of the emperor, and the empress ordered the palace gates to be closed, and no royal children are allowed to leave the city."
"Feng Duwei is in charge of the city defense for the first time, can he really plug all the loopholes he dug before?" Jia Zhuo didn't believe it. Lin Jia had been cultivating the city defense for several years. How could the old and cronies be that Feng Duwei, who just took office, could clean it up in a few days? of.
"Then what should we do?" Jia Lian didn't have an official position, but he really couldn't reach them.
"Keep an eye on Lieutenant Lin and see what he's doing?" It's unrealistic to stare at King Zhongyong. When a prince travels, there are at least dozens of people shouting and hugging him.If he deliberately hides from view, it's really not something ordinary people can keep an eye on.On the contrary, Lin Jia was moved to a quiet position, and there were not so many people following him in and out, so he was easy to watch.
This stare led to a shocking case, Lin Jia let King Zhongyong out of the city privately, Jia Lian called him out on the spot.But helplessly, it was still a step too late. King Zhongyong had already left the city. Fortunately, Lin Jia was arrested. Feng Duwei learned under interrogation that if Jia Lian hadn't figured it out, his next step would be to instigate rebellion against the city defenders.
At the moment, Lian Lian was sweating coldly, secretly calling for danger.
King Zhongyong, together with General Gao, the garrison outside the city, held high the banner of the Qing emperor, spreading the news that the emperor was kidnapped by the demon concubine, causing chaos to the court.
If Lin Jia hadn't been captured by Captain Feng, there would be no need to siege the city right now, and he could directly attack the palace.
It happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.The whole city of Jinling was in chaos, so Jia Zhuo simply closed the shop, and took all the Wang family and the maids from the shop to his own home and settled them down.
Jia Peng also panicked. The emperor had already woken up, but when he heard the news of King Zhongyong's rebellion, he passed out again. When he woke up again, he had a stroke and was bedridden, almost unable to speak a complete word.Seeing that the emperor could not be counted on, Jia Peng took out the phoenix seal, took the seventh prince to preside over the government, and asked the officials how to deal with it.
The opinions of the ministers were almost unanimous, that is, to send the letter urgently at eight hundred miles, and let Marshal Huo return for help.
Jia Peng immediately passed on the letter and stamped it with the phoenix seal. The messengers rushed out from several city gates at the same time, but they didn't know when they would reach Marshal Huo, let alone whether Marshal Huo would return in time.
Fortunately, the Jia family changed to a bigger house, not only taking over the Wang family, but also taking over Li Wan and Du Yue.Originally, Jia Lian wanted to ask if Du Yue wanted to go back to her natal family. Although General Du was not there, the nursing home at home was not comparable to other homes, but Du Yue insisted on staying with Li Wan.
Jia Zhuo arranged a small courtyard for the Wang family, and Xiao Cai and several maidservants were also placed in this courtyard together.Li Yan and Du Yue also lived in the same courtyard, and Du Yue also brought his guards to Jia's house.
There were so many people living in the house at once, and Ping'er was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, so An Ge couldn't see his mother for several days, crying with tears in his eyes, so Jia Zhuo consciously took on the burden of the housekeeper.
She didn't take care of it alone, and took Qing'er with her.At the same time as the director, she also taught her how to be in charge of the house.
Qing'er likes to be lively the most, but at this time, she doesn't see joy at all, the army outside the city is overwhelming.What happened to Xiaodongshan that day actually happened again.
How long the siege will last this time, and whether the army will break into the city, no one knows.
Jia Peng stood on the palace wall, holding the seventh prince tightly by the hand. The emperor suffered a stroke and was bedridden.It seems that the scenery is incomparable, and it seems that she has achieved everything she thought of one step ahead of schedule.
But at this time, she knew what real fear was. It seemed that overnight, all the responsibilities and responsibilities were on her shoulders, making it inevitable for her to avoid it.
Whether their mother and son can resist, everything is unknown.
Jinling City was besieged, and all supplies became tense. Fortunately, Jia's food was not worrying, but vegetables, fruits, and fish were increasingly difficult to buy.Fortunately, Jia Zhuo saw that the new house was big and deserted when no one lived in it, and he didn't want to let the servants idle to make trouble, so it was full of vegetables.
At this moment, these vegetables have become life-saving things.
"Miss Zhuo, I heard that Mrs. Lan was not feeling well at dinner yesterday. Her personal servant girl wanted to invite the doctor, but she stopped her. But I see her face today, it seems that she is still not good." Qing'er said Xiaocai and a few servant girls are not idle in the mansion, and they run errands with them, so naturally they know everything about them.Xiao Cai has a very good relationship with Qing'er, she will tell her anything.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, and quickly sent someone to invite the doctor."
"That's what I said, but it's very chaotic outside now. I heard from the people at the door that many shops are closed."
"If you are sick, you have to be cured. Let the disciples directly ask for it. If the doctor doesn't come, he will go to the doctor's house. If he doesn't come, he will say that we will pay with food and vegetables."
The one on the door took the cart to the door, and sure enough, he invited the doctor back. Jia Zhuo took someone directly to Li Wan's room to see Du Yue's symptoms.
"Auntie, father, mother, and I sincerely invited you here. We are afraid that you will be outnumbered in the house. If anything happens, we will be beyond our reach. If you feel so uncomfortable when you come to our house, it doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable. Said, then didn’t we do bad things with good intentions.”
"It's none of Mother's business, I didn't tell Mother." Du Yue's cheeks were flushed, and she stretched out her wrist to give the doctor's pulse. Although her face was nervous, there was a hint of joy.
Everyone in the room understood at once, especially Li Wan who had already touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist and began to recite the Buddha's name in his heart.
Following the doctor's congratulations, Li Wan almost cried with joy, and then said angrily, "You child, why didn't you say it earlier."
"It's just a little disgusting, I'm not sure, I want to wait and say. I never thought, my sister is like riding a hot wheel, so I invite the doctor." Du Yue covered his mouth and chuckled, and Li Wan followed the crowd laugh it out.
She hadn't laughed like this since her son went to the front line, but she was very happy.
Jia Zhuo hurried to send the doctor, and delivered food and vegetables as promised.When the doctor saw the vegetables, his eyes lit up. His family was not bad, but he had a lot of food in his house, so he couldn't stop cooking for a while.But at this juncture, vegetables are really rare items, and they are more expensive than food.
After a while, the whole family knew about Du Yue's happy event, and they all came to congratulate him.
Jia Zhuo hurriedly sent someone to Du's house to deliver the good news. The family affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and the interpersonal relationship outside was also taken care of.
Jia Lian went out every day to find out the news. The Jun family was sealed off on the day King Zhongyong left the city, and everyone was thrown into prison. This kind of thing happened.
The long history of the palace is mostly empty, and I don't know when it was sent away, and Jia Rong is even missing.But she, the princess, was left behind by her, regardless of life or death.
"The imperial court can't do anything about the Jun's family now. After all, King Suqing's eldest son and concubine are also from the Jun's family. They don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face." Jia Lian returned home and sent back the news of the past few days, and then turned to Jia Zhuo, "Tell my sister-in-law that there is nothing wrong with General Du's mansion."
The in-laws are old at home, and Jia Lian always goes there every few days to see the situation.
"understood."
As soon as Jia Zhuo finished speaking, he saw servants coming in like a wind, and shouted at them, "King Suqing sent troops, sent troops, sent troops, sent troops, sent troops."
Jia Lian was startled, "You take care of the house, I'll come back after I go out to inquire about it."
"I'll go with you." Wang Gou'er, who also got the news, also rushed over, and the two left together.
The rest of the people gathered together, waiting for the news with trepidation.
At night, Wang Gou'er returned first, seeing Jia Zhuo's face turned pale, he hurriedly said: "Second Master has entered the palace, and will be sent back by the imperial army in a while, don't worry."
"Outside, what's going on." Since Jia Lian was fine, what happened outside was what everyone wanted to know most.
"Prince Suqing's son has brought troops and is already stationed outside Jinling City, but he doesn't know what his purpose is." Wang Gou'er sighed, it's okay to help the court, but it would be really bad if he helped King Zhongyong.In terms of military use in the whole of Da Viet, only Marshal Huo can compete with King Suqing. However, Marshal Huo is already old, and the son of King Suqing is better than blue.
"Where's Baner?" Jia Zhuo's face was completely pale, and it was terribly white.
There was no letter from Ban'er, not even a secret letter.Prince Suqing's son came first, what happened to him and Mr. Zhou, are they safe?Although there were such and such settings before, it was a gamble after all, betting that King Suqing would not dare, betting that King Suqing would not.
But in front of the throne, what are a few human lives worth? If he really dared, would he really do it?
Wang Gou'er shook his head. He kept silent, just because he didn't want to make everyone, especially Jia Zhuo, worry, but Jia Zhuo called him off.Everyone knows what Ban Er followed Mr. Zhou to Andu Mansion.Now that Prince Suqing's son is here, they have no news about what it means, and no one is worried.
Jia Zhuo was on the verge of falling, and Ping'er supported her, "You have to trust him, we all can't mess up by ourselves at this time. With you waiting for him, how could he not come back, no matter what, he will come back, Yes or no."
"Yes, he will definitely come back." Wang Ping'er kept showing her eyes, letting her look at Liu Shi who was about to faint. Grandma was getting old, and she was accompanied by Qing'er in her yard and did not come over.
Jia Zhuoqiang stabilized his mind, went to sit next to Mrs. Liu, and quickly organized his words, "Auntie, Mr. Zhou who is following Ban'er is the teacher of King Suqing. Don't worry, King Suqing will never treat his teacher like you." Let's do it, otherwise he won't be able to hold his head up as a man in his life."
Respecting teachers and valuing education is an understanding that is immersed in everyone's thinking. After hearing this, Mrs. Liu really felt much better. She held Jia Zhuo's hand and refused to let go. Don't tell grandma.
Jia Lian didn't come back until midnight, and everyone else had already gone to sleep, only Ping'er and Jia Zhuo were waiting for him.
"It's so late." Jia Lian came back, rubbing his eyelids and screaming hungry.
Ping'er hurriedly asked the kitchen to use chicken soup to pour out noodles and serve them up, "If you don't come back, how can we sleep."
Jia Lian ate a large bowl of noodle soup with soup and water in three or five bites, "The Empress asked me to go with the people in the court to meet Prince Suqing's son and see what his intentions are."
"Why did I let you go? If you are not an official or a job, why should it be you?" Ping'er looked aggrieved. Uncle Guo's score had never been displayed once, and he had never enjoyed any preferential treatment. matter, let him go.
"Those who have been favored by the emperor, why don't you go." Ping'er added bitterly, his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Because the empress wants father to use this opportunity in exchange for meritorious service, so that rewards can block Youyou's ranks in the future." Jia Zhuo sighed. At this time, she thought of Jia's family.
"Wealth and wealth are in danger, and my mother said so, as long as I go, Jia's house will be the Duke's mansion when I come back." Jia Lian was not as angry as they were, he had already thought clearly, and Jia Peng was connected because of this trace of kinship. into a cooperative relationship.They each take what they want, but whatever they want, they have to give.
"Don't think of her as the eldest lady of the mansion, just think of her as the empress." Jia Lian took Ping'er's hand and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ping'er quickly knocked off his hand, and she felt embarrassed in front of Jia Zhuo.
"Will Daddy go?" Jia Zhuo knew that he had to go.Even if he didn't want to go, if the members of the Jia family found out in the future, how could he pretend to be the main family member of the direct line.There is also Jia Lan, although their uncle and nephew have a good relationship, but Jia Lanke has been admitted to the official and has military exploits. What does Jia Lian have?
Most importantly, there is An Ge.I'm afraid Jia Lian would rather risk his life to get a title for his son, and also be worthy of the Jia family's ancestors.
Jia Lian acquiesced with a wry smile.
Jia Zhuo had nothing to say and could only ask, "My daughter has nothing else to say, she just hopes that she can take me with her."
"No."
"No."
The couple said in unison, Ping'er's eyes widened in horror, "What nonsense, that's not the place you can go."
"Listen to me, Prince Suqing owes me a condition. Anyway, at least our father and daughter can come back safely."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "That's not okay, you don't understand the sinister people, what you owe you, if you kill you, you don't owe anything."
This is the throne, the whole country of Dayue, how can it be stopped by the promise of one or two people.
"Father thinks it through himself. If you don't take me there, I will go by myself. You know what will happen to the charge of trespassing. As for locking me up at home, don't even think about it. After being in charge for so long, one or two foolish and loyal servants can still give orders."
"Even if I agree, it's impossible for other adults to agree." Jia Lian was so angry at his daughter that he really had a temper, why didn't he find out earlier.
In the end, Jia Zhuo changed into the clothes of his subordinates, pretended to be a long follower, and followed Jia Lian out of the city.
The military camp of King Suqing's son was stationed outside the city. When Jia Lian and his party entered, they saw Jia Rong and several senior officials from the palace coming out of the military tent.
Jia Lian and him looked at each other. When they were young and absurd, they were friends of wine and meat, playmates of fooling around.Seeing each other now seems like a world away, and there is only hatred and contempt for each other in their eyes.
Someone ushered them into the military tent, and someone was clearing up the leftover teacups of the previous people. Liu Shangshu, who led the team, took the lead in cupping his hands and said, "Your Majesty brought troops into the capital without receiving an order. You know, it is already a capital offense."
Those who followed were shocked, but they only dared to mutter in their hearts, knowing that you are not afraid of death, but we don't want to be buried with you.Offending people to death as soon as he opened his mouth, could it be that he wants to die here to gain a clear name? These clear thoughts are really hateful.
Prince Suqing smiled instead of anger, "Since it's a capital crime, why didn't the imperial court send a large army and send you here instead? They don't think that you can arrest people with just a few of you."
"Of course I can't, so I dare to ask Shizi why he came here." Liu Shangshu is also one of Mr. Zhou's disciples. This time he went inside to find out the truth, not only to find out the truth about the son, but also to find out the whereabouts of the teacher.
"Huh, I still have the face to ask why this general came here. The whole of Da Viet is ruled by you, and there are rebels everywhere. I have gone quite a lot, is this the fate of you noble literati running the country?"
Prince Suqing's son seemed to be suffocating for a long time. In his opinion, the anti-king could have been wiped out a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. It is a pity how many people will be lost and how much land will be desolate.
It was so easy to send out the army to encircle and suppress, and the Zhongyong King rebelled. One of the emperor's sons was like this, and the other was still like this. It can be seen that they are broken from the root.
Liu Shangshu's face was burning with panic, but he retorted in a deep voice, "Andu Mansion lives in a remote corner, with few lands and few people. In addition, it is dominated by military households, so it is easy to manage. Now that the Japanese pirates have come ashore, and the royal blood is involved, it is natural. Handle it carefully, it will inevitably take more time. It’s just that everything is under control, if the son is really for the good of the people, he shouldn’t take this troubled water again.”
"Do you really think that Marshal Huo is in control of everything? Didn't you realize that the military report that should have been sent back a long time ago has never been sent back?"
Liu Shangshu really aroused his vigilance, and then a person walked in outside the tent, Liu Shangshu almost rushed forward when he saw it, "Sir, you are well."
"I can't die." Mr. Zhou looked at his student and sighed softly, "Huo Shuai may be in trouble."
Marshal Huo had already defeated the Japanese pirates against the king, but he didn't expect that the anti-king secretly colluded with several rebels who claimed to be kings and surrounded them in several ways. The Japanese pirates also discovered their own shortcomings and agreed to let them The anti-king led his own troops.
Moreover, they revealed the means they had been hiding all along. All the horses were equipped with Japanese pirates' long knives. This kind of knives was extremely lethal. Putting them on the battlefield would cost the imperial court a lot of money in a short time.
Originally, Marshal Huo's advantage was not that great, but with these factors, the advantage gradually disappeared, and now he has fallen into a hard fight.Not to mention returning aid, if the troops were withdrawn now, the anti-king would probably lead his troops all the way to Jinling.
Liu Shangshu's face turned pale, but he still didn't believe Mr. Zhou's words, "How do we know what Mr. Zhou said is true."
"You don't have to believe it. I have to believe that it's only a little earlier than you. Soon you will have military reports." Mr. Zhou sighed. Grandpa had a sincere talk once.The son spoke eloquently, and almost every sentence predicted today's events.He didn't believe it at the beginning, but he had to believe it when he received a letter from Fei Ge yesterday.
Liu Shangshu's thoughts changed sharply, he already knew that Da Yue had reached the most dangerous moment, and his life and death depended on King Suqing's thoughts.
He handed over again, but this time he was much more sincere, "Mr. is walking with the son, the son must not have the heart of disobedience, if you have any request, you can make it to the court."
Prince Suqing was about to speak, but he saw a pair of black and white eyeballs rolling around, and smiled inwardly.This woman is really brave.
"Protecting the family and defending the country is not a business, how can it be weighed in terms of weight." The son shook his head.
"Will Mr. Zhou come back to the city with us?"
"What are you doing back with you guys? I want to stay and watch the battle." Mr. Zhou flicked his sleeve and almost touched Jia Zhuo's face. She gave him a wry smile and knew that he had seen her identity on purpose.
But this also shows that there is nothing wrong with Ban'er, otherwise Mr. Zhou would not be so confident.
Liu Shangshu and his party went back safely, not to mention Jia Zhuo, even Jia Lian had no chance to speak.
Jia Lian was about to enter the palace, but Jia Zhuo went home first and told the Wang family that nothing was wrong.
"Although I haven't seen it, Mr. Zhou is here, and he gave me a glare when he saw me. Ban'er is definitely fine."
Wang Gou'er nodded repeatedly, "That must be the case."
"Ban'er is just outside the city, why doesn't he go home." Mrs. Liu was still a little dazed and didn't understand the situation.
"Ban'er worships Mr. as his teacher, so naturally he wants to serve him." Wang Gou'er said firmly, "Why did Ban'er leave Mr. alone?"
What they didn't know was that Ban'er was really not by Mr. Zhou's side. He was riding on horseback with Li Hong beside him.
"It's almost there, hold on." In Li Hong's heart, Ban'er was always a scholar, so he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up because of his weak body.
"I can keep up, just go faster." Ban'er saw Li Hong's speed slowed down, and said anxiously.
Soon, this small group of people accelerated and rushed forward again.
