Against the Dream of Red Mansions: The Phoenix Comes to the World Lin Daiyu

Last time, I mentioned that based on what Xue Baoqin had vowed to say, Lin Daiyu judged that she was poisoned in Jia's mansion, and she must have something to do with the Jinling royal family. I also thought of the old servants of the Lin family and Zijuan, a total of more than a dozen people who were burned to death If you think about it carefully, the real culprit is very likely that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue joined forces, but unfortunately I have no evidence, so I can't appeal for the wronged soul who died.

Lin Daiyu was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, watching the curling sandalwood rose, meditating on the relationship between these things, and suddenly the eunuch reported: "The emperor is here."

Without saying a word, Xuan Ming had already walked in, hurriedly stepped forward and took Lin Daiyu's hand and asked softly: "I heard that you have passed on the imperial physician, what's the matter?"

Lin Daiyu looked into Xuanming's eyes, smiled wryly for a moment and said: "It's just acting, I'm fine, the emperor who got involved came back to see me, and I'm really sorry."

Xuanming probably knew about it, and sat on the side of the couch and said to Lin Daiyu: "The previous dynasty was not stable, I can't just offend a few well-established concubines for no reason, and let you be wronged for the time being."

"What did the emperor say, even now I dare not conclude that they are guilty without evidence. It is really a blessing for the emperor to be so considerate of his concubines." Lin Daiyu said quietly as she rested her pillow on Xuan Ming's lap.

Xuanming generally knew that Xue Baochai wanted to make Lin Daiyu jealous, so he explained resentfully: "Yu'er, I have no choice but to marry the princess of the Western Regions, and I have indeed gotten closer to her recently. It is really a bit difficult..."

Lin Daiyu laughed, got up from his lap, looked at him with a pair of almond eyes and said: "I have already had a heart-to-heart relationship with the emperor, so I believe in the emperor, why bother to explain it like this?"

Xuan Ming hugged Lin Daiyu into his arms, staring at the scene outside the window with his deep purple eyes.After a while, Lin Daiyu said again: "There are still a few days before the day when the queen can be conferred. If this is an ordinary family, it can be considered married. I want to settle my old grudge before I get married, and I also want to ask the emperor to lend me someone , I want to find out an old matter."

Xuanming realized that Lin Daiyu couldn't let go of the past in Jia's house, so he immediately drafted an order to send Xu Jin, the censor of the Inspectorate who has always been a god in solving cases, to Lin Daiyu in secret.

How Lin Daiyu suspected that she was poisoned in Jia's mansion, and how her maid Zijuan and nanny and other old servants suffered, she told Xu Jin in detail one by one. The servants found in Jia's mansion waited, and they withdrew.

It is said that Xu Jin was born as a poor scholar in the countryside. He suffered from childhood and was a slave in the prince's mansion for many years. Later, he made his fortune after passing the exam.Although he didn't have a thorough understanding of the current situation and the government, he had a good understanding of the struggle in the deep house.Therefore, after Xu entered and exited the palace, together with the concubine who was born in the fourth house of Jianghu jugglers, they secretly disguised themselves and sneaked into Jia's mansion. Within five or six days, the two of them found out the ins and outs of what Lin Daiyu was suspicious of, and provided all the evidence. After collecting them, they entered the palace the next day in front of Xuanming and reported them to Lin Daiyu one by one.

Xu Jin's fourth concubine named Qingxue, who was seventeen years old, was sold into an opera troupe since she was a child.After following Xu Jin, she is even more intelligent in every way, unlike ordinary officials' wives who sit in the back house and pamper them, but often advise Xu Jin.This Xu Jin is also enlightened, he doesn't think that Qingxue's women shouldn't take care of men's affairs, but thinks that Qingxue's idea is quite insightful and unconventional.

On this day Xu Jin received a secret letter from the emperor to investigate the old case of Lin's old servant being burned. He knew that the matter was of great importance, so naturally it was no different from ordinary cases and must not be ambiguous.He went back to the mansion and entered the study to plan the matter carefully. When everything seemed to be flawless, there was one thing that could not be perfected: he planned to pretend to be a Taoist on a slope, and sneak into Jia's mansion to treat Jia Baoyu's disease.He had worked as a servant in the official mansion in his early years, and he knew that this big family believed in the words of these monks and priests the most, so there was no loophole.It's just that with his status, he can only meet men like Jia Baoyu, but he can't get close to the female family members of Jia's family. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are the most suspected suspects in this case, and he can't get close to them. How can he find out?After thinking about it for a long time, I ordered my fourth aunt to come.

Qingxue walked in with a smile and blessed a blessing: "I woke up this morning and heard the magpies outside the corridor screaming, so I knew there must be a happy event today. I didn't expect to hear the master calling my concubine here. Master, please tell me what's the matter?" Is it possible for a concubine to be filial to the work of a dog and a horse? The concubine must be as heartless as possible."

Xu Jin smiled and pushed Qingxue on the chair to let her sit down, and said: "No one can say that you have such a clever mouth, my fourth aunt, today's matter really uses your cleverness." Mouth."

Xu Jin told her about Lin's old servant, and added at the end: "Although this is an old case, it is of great importance. If it is not handled properly, your husband and I will lose our lives, and even more so." What's more, it will affect the lives of hundreds of members of our Xu family."

What was said was light and calm, but Qingxue was terrified to hear it, and said in a serious voice: "Master told this concubine such an important matter, it shows how much trust he has in this concubine, and I will not be able to trust her. It's just what the master mentioned just now. Mrs. Jia and Aunt Xue are the two sisters of the Wang family from "The Dragon King is here to invite the King of Jinling"? I have long heard that the two sisters of the Wang family are quite scheming and vicious, and their roots are also thick: Then Mrs. Wang's daughter used to be the Empress Dowager Yuan, and Aunt Xue's daughter is now a concubine in the palace...Master, it's not that concubines are afraid of danger, with their basic power, how can we move them?"

Xu Jin smiled, "Of course we can't move, but if the emperor wants to, you can't move?"

Qingxue suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I understand. I have made friends with a few sisters in the opera troupe since I was a child. Now one or two of them are doing well in Jia's mansion. I will go to dredge them up tomorrow." Clearly, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak into Jia's mansion as a storyteller and singer..."

The two planned to rest until the third watch in this way, and in the next few days, both of them successfully sneaked into Jia's mansion.

It is said that although the inner bag of Jia's mansion has long been empty, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng insisted on putting on airs, and there was an endless stream of handymen of all kinds entering and leaving Rongguo's mansion.That Jia Baoyu had already participated in the palace examination, and had already passed the examination, but he had been dragging his illness and did not enter the court to be an official. It happened that the Taoist on the foot of Xu Jin pretended to be able to see a doctor, and Mrs. Wang should be regarded as the honored guest.
