[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

The wives and grandmothers who came to add makeup to Xue Luo were all trapped in Xue's house, only knowing that the outside world has changed.

Listening to what the officers and soldiers said, it is said that King Zhao and the Wen family intended to rebel, and Concubine Wen poisoned the emperor in the palace. pending disposal.The Xue family is the mother's family of Zhao Wangfei Xue's family. It is not known whether the Xue family is involved in Zhao Wang's rebellion, so the Xue family is also surrounded first to wait for the investigation.

The Xue family elder was shocked immediately, and quickly said: "The general was loyal to His Majesty when he was alive, and His Majesty praised the general for his loyalty. After the death of the general, we will keep our own place and dare not make any mistakes." He was secretly grateful Xue Luo has already left the cabinet, even if the Xue family is implicated by the emperor, it will not implicate Xue Luo who has already left the cabinet.

"Old Xue, don't worry, if your Xue family is innocent, you won't be wronged." The officers and soldiers could only say.

It's just that all the wives trapped in Xue's house are family members of the court officials in the capital, and they can't afford to offend them.

The grandmother of the Xue family entertained the wives and girls in the house, while apologizing for her sins, she never thought that such a thing would happen on the day Xue Luo came out of the cabinet.

When they heard that it was the king of Zhao who had conspired against him, everyone was startled and frightened, and there was a lot of discussion, all afraid that they would be implicated in this disaster.

Second Grandma Liu sneered and said to Mrs. Qi: "The Wen family has done a lot of unrighteous things, and Tian En's support and support is actually wishful thinking and daring to commit treason. Now that they have ended up like this, it is their own fault."

Mrs. Qi saw that she was getting more and more outspoken, so she quickly interrupted: "This is at Xue's house! You are so outspoken, what if people listen to it?"

"That Wenliu is acting hypocritical, I really feel sick when I see her face." Grandma Liu turned her head and said coldly.

Wen Qingyuan was still giving birth to a child in the side room, unaware of all the discussions outside, and Mrs. Li Guogong stayed in front of the door for fear that Wen Qingyuan's unborn child might go wrong.

Second Grandma Liu glanced at this side, but was pulled aside by Mrs. Qi: "If such a big event happened to the Wen family, the third grandma of your family may have a difficult life in the future." Seeing Second Grandma Liu's disdainful look, Qi As a sister-in-law, the wife advised her, "But you must not make things difficult for her, or your mother-in-law will think you are immodest."

"As soon as she entered the door, she pushed me into the arena with Da Fang, but she really wanted to mess with me!" Even though Second Grandma Liu said so, she still responded to Mrs. Qi's words, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't care. Will be out of line."

In the front hall, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Jiang and the others were also chatting gossip, and they were all restless.

Mrs. Zhang heard them talking, and seemed to have a bit of sadness: "Our Majesty is a bit too heartless now. Concubine Wen has been with His Majesty for many years, and King Zhao is His Majesty's flesh and blood... Considering how affectionate His Majesty was with the former Empress back then, he did not have the slightest sympathy for the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Princess."

Normally, Mrs. Zhang would never have dared to speak privately about the Tian family's right and wrong, but now that there is a sudden disaster, she is also panicked.

"You are crazy! How dare you say such outrageous words!" Mrs. Jiang was so shocked that she wanted to cover Mrs. Zhang's mouth, but she agreed in her heart.

Jia Min worked with Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou for many years, and he didn't know much about the capital at that time. Even when he learned that Lin Ruhai was secretly investigating the case under the imperial edict, he didn't ask any further questions.

Now Zhao Wang and the Wen family are also being punished for the crime of treason. How similar is it to the Pingfeng Rebellion that shocked the capital?

Both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang are afraid that the disaster of the past will happen again; the Pingfeng Rebellion implicated half of the courtiers in the court, and those who were demoted and exiled managed to avoid the Pingfeng Rebellion, but there was a wave of unrest Get up again.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help feeling emotional: "It is said that His Majesty values ​​Zhao Wang, and if he wants Zhao Wang to enter the East Palace, even the Zhen family will give Zhao Wang's daughter as a side concubine. Now in the end, Zhao Wang will not become a king, I am afraid that in the end King Jin still sits in the East Palace."

"Sister Jiang, it's not the end yet, but it's still a big deal." Jia Min listened to them talking before speaking.

"You're right! But I'm confused!" Mrs. Jiang stopped quickly, and then pulled away other words.

At dusk, I saw General Feng coming over and ordering the withdrawal of the officers and soldiers surrounding Xue's house, so as to see that Xue's family had nothing to do with Zhao Wang's treason case.

General Feng announced His Majesty's will and summoned Xue Bing to the palace to face the saint.

The veteran of the Xue family brought Xue Bing out in surprise and joy; others also felt strange when they saw it, Xue Bing is the son of Princess Heqing, who has been raised in the temple after the death of his parents, why His Majesty suddenly announced him to the palace Holy?

The wives and grandma got on the carriage one after another and returned home, only then did they know what had happened. It seemed that the capital city changed in an instant.

The carriage bumped away, and the streets and alleys fell into silence, only the officers and soldiers came and went in a hurry.

Yanyu and Daiyu sat on both sides of Jia Min, looking at each other, and felt that their mother was obviously anxious.

When she returned to the mansion, Yan'er had already left the school to trace characters in the back room, when she heard her mother and sisters coming back, she hurried out.

"Yan'er." Seeing the youngest son, Jia Min's thoughts sank and pulled him to sit down at the crescent table. Sister Yanyu and Daiyu also sat down beside her mother. Seeing Yan'er next to her mother, she raised her head and said, " Mother, my husband is sick and I don’t have to go to class for the next two days, so my husband only asks me to trace the characters.”

Thinking of the chaos outside, Yan'er's husband is also from the Imperial Academy, so Jia Min caressed Yan'er and said, "Your father and I are busy these days, you have to listen carefully to what you say, even if you are not in school." Read and write."

Yan'er naturally nodded in agreement.

Jia Min asked Yan'er to go back to the back room to continue writing, and then told their sisters: "Today, when the Xue family girl came out of the court, and turned around to the capital, something like this happened. It's really unpredictable."

Yanyu hurriedly took Jia Min's words and said: "The Wen family was so arrogant in the past, and their wives and girls were all superior to others. I didn't expect that they would suddenly become sinners." In fact, what she really wanted to say was, The fact that Mrs. Zhong Jinghou's wife Wen is so unscrupulous is not because she is Wen's aunt; now that the Wen family is in trouble, Wen's vigor no longer exists.

Just thinking of the Wen family, Yanyu couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Mother, I heard that this treason is a serious crime that affects the whole family. In the Pingfeng Rebellion, even Uncle Xu was implicated and relegated. Now the Wen family is involved in the treason case." Will the third cousin of the Shi family be implicated?" After all, Shi Jin and her sister are still engaged, if the Shi family is really involved, what will Daiyu do?

Daiyu also looked at her mother worriedly, but she couldn't speak up after all when it involved historians.

"That won't happen! As long as Brother Jin has nothing to do with Zhao Wang's treason case, nothing will happen." Jia Min recalled what Lin Ruhai said, and said to his daughter; after all, Shi Jin is the son of Princess Qingdu. To re-investigate the Pingfeng case, Shi Jin must not be implicated because of the Wen family.

Jia Min is still surprised.Since ancient times, kings have been unwilling to admit their mistakes, even if they knew that Dong'an County's treason was an unjust case, and it would only be left to the successor. Unexpectedly, the current emperor wants to investigate this case again. Incredible.

The king's heart is unpredictable, so it is.

Lin Ruhai didn't return home that night, so he only asked the boy to come back and spread the word that Jia Min would stay in the room with the light on until dawn.

Yanyu plays with Daiyu in the Nanjia Courtyard with the remnant chess left before, and tells Yiqing to go back and send a message to Liu Mama and Yiyue, and she rests in the Nanjia Courtyard with Daiyu.

"Sister, don't you dare to go back because you are afraid?" Daiyu raised her eyes to Yanyu and asked with a smile.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just another bloody storm in the capital city. Isn't the capital city a place of right and wrong in the world throughout the ages?" Yanyu smiled lightly, holding a chess piece in front of Daiyu, and Daiyu Yucai stretched out his hand and pushed her away: "Sister, how many people do you think will be involved in this bloody storm? It won't be true that King Jin will become a oriole in the end, right?"

Yanyu just looked at her with a smile: "The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. All those who think they are orioles are actually mantises."

Daiyu nodded after thinking for a while: "After all, the emperor has the final say in this world."

Yanyu just smiled casually: "The lady Li who was so overwhelmed by the country back then couldn't keep the Li family, let alone Concubine Zhen? The emperor was suspicious and seriously ill. King Zhao fell, but King Jin and the Zhen family are the only ones."

"Sister, it's you who told me not to use history to judge the present. After all, the current emperor is not Emperor Wu." Daiyu told Yanyu very seriously. I can't jump out of the box of history books.

"It's just a moment of emotion." Yanyu sighed.

The small kitchen cooked Bazhen Mixie and brought it in. The Mixie was brewed with rose dew, and it was fragrant and delicate; it was just that they could not eat more before going to bed, and the sisters only drank half a bowl before putting it down.

Yu Bai and Ye Zi put down the curtains and put out the candle lamps, Yanyu and Daiyu were lying together on the couch covered with a thin quilt like when they were in Yangzhou.

Daiyu turned around and approached Yanyu: "Sister, Your Majesty has summoned Young Master Xue into the palace. Young Master Xue is the son of Princess Heqing. It seems that the capital is really about to change!"

"What do you think His Majesty will do?" Yanyu asked her younger sister with a smile on purpose.

"Emperor Zhao is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Bo Luhou (note 1)" Daiyu whispered to her, then laughed again, "Sister, is what I said right?"

Yanyu smiled heartily: "Heroes see the same thing."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Sister, you want to be a hero, but I don't want to be a hero yet! Being a hero is too tiring, I just want to be one, an outsider; after all, the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders."

Through the heavy curtains, the moonlight outside the slightly opened window was clear, and she seemed to see fairies shining brightly in the night.

Whether a hero can become a hero, the answer is not far away, and Yanyu is also waiting for the answer.Whether it's King Zhao and the Wen family, or King Jin and the Zhen family, they are all fish lured by Mu Ran with bait, and they are praying mantises about to be swallowed by orioles.

Note 1: The imperial edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enshrined General Huo Guang as Marquis of Bolu
