The Fate of the Red Chamber

"Han'er, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor is dead, Lin Ruhai can't care about being sad, the most important thing right now is whether there is any doubt about the emperor's death.

Although Mo Han doesn't know much about the ancient ways, he has heard of the emperor's death occasionally. Usually, the whole country is buried, and the news of the death will spread throughout the country as quickly as possible.And this time the emperor's death seems very strange, not to mention that there was no movement from the government, but the news came from the capital through private channels. It is reasonable that private information channels will not be faster than the royal ones.Unless there is something wrong with the emperor's death, the royal family is deliberately concealing it.

"Father, does the son think it's not that simple?"

Lin Ruhai nodded in relief. Mo Han's insight is already very good. He can see the problem from the little clues in front of him. He can safely hand over the Lin family to him.

"Let's stand still for the time being and wait for further news, but we will have to work hard for you."

Mo Han hurriedly shook his head, and replied calmly: "What did the father say, the child can still say that he is working hard for his family. It's getting late, father, take a rest, I'm afraid I will get up early tomorrow."

Waiting for Lin Ruhai to sleep well, Mo Han went out again to inquire about news.In the early morning of the second day, the report from the mansion reached Yangzhou, and everyone was shocked. The emperor died, but he was poisoned by the prince. Now the empress has supported the twelfth prince Liu Xuan to succeed him.The queen is the successor of the emperor, the prince is the son of the emperor, the twelve princes are the queen's own sons, and the queen becomes the queen mother.

As soon as Mo Han heard it, he knew that there were too many twists and turns here, so he hurried back to report to Lin Ruhai.

"Father, you slept so late last night, why did you wake up so early today? My brother is here for everything." Daiyu complained dissatisfiedly while helping Lin Ruhai wash up.

"Yo, Han'er is back." Lin Ruhai was about to reply to his daughter's words, so he might as well look up and see that Mo Han had already come.

Daiyu followed the voice and looked towards the door, and it was really her brother, but her eyes were darkened and her face was haggard, but she was still in good spirits, feeling pity in her heart, she hurried up a few steps to meet him.He insisted on pressing Mo Han on the seat, called the servant girl to scoop up water for him to wash up, and asked Fang Fei to go to the kitchen to have a look, and bring him over soon.

Lin Ruhai and Mohan saw that Daiyu was already looking like a housekeeper, so they felt relieved, and let her direct everyone to go about their business.The father and son had just finished washing and washing, and Fang Fei had already brought a group of maids and women over with big holding boxes in their hands: "Master, master, girl, breakfast is ready, where is it?"

"Let's just put it here, there are no outsiders on the left and right." Daiyu said, ordering the maids to adjust the tables and chairs, serve the food and set the meal, and after seeing that it was almost done, she and Mo Han helped Lin Ruhai to sit down.

"Father, drink more japonica rice porridge. Although it's not a precious thing, it calms the liver and nourishes the stomach and is easy to digest. My sister can't just drink porridge, but eat more shrimp dumpling, so as to grow some meat." Mo Han said I will give Lin Ruhai some food for a while and then urge Daiyu not to be picky eaters, but I am so busy that I have no time to eat.

Daiyu put a large crystal dumpling into Mo Han's bowl, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't patronize us, you should eat more when you don't sleep all night, and go to sleep later. I am no longer I'm a child, don't take care of me."

Yesterday, Daiyu was scared to death by Lin Ruhai. After returning to her room, she thought about it all night, knowing that her father's days were numbered.In order not to make my father worry that it would be difficult for me to go down-to-earth, and not want my brother to be exhausted to death, I made up my mind to be stronger in the future and support half of the family.Therefore, I tidied up early in the morning, with a smile on my face, as if nothing happened yesterday.

But looking at Lin Ruhai and Mo Han felt even more distressed. She is only a nine-year-old girl, and she has to take on so many responsibilities as a housewife.

After eating, I just started to talk about the business: "Father, the imperial palace has been reported. The emperor died. It is said that he was poisoned by the prince. Now the prince has been imprisoned in heaven. The queen supported the twelve princes to inherit the throne."

Lin Ruhai had long thought that something was unusual, but never expected such a result. Is it true or not?He has seen the prince's face before, he is gentle, respectful and thrifty, but he lacks a bit of arrogance to look down on the world, he is filial to the emperor, it is hard to imagine that he would do such a thing as murdering his own father.Not to mention, the throne will be his sooner or later. Although he is now in his thirties, he will not take risks.

Back then, the princes were born and left within half a year. The harem could not remain empty. Under the pressure of all the officials, the emperor appointed King Zhongshun's younger sister as the queen.The queen gave birth to the third princess and the seventh princess first, and gave birth to a son 16 years ago, who was the twelfth prince, named Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was still young, he seldom appeared in public, he only knew gentleness and elegance, but he didn't know anything else, setting up a little prince under sixteen as the emperor was afraid that the country would be unstable.

"Han'er, Yu'er, this is a matter of the royal family, it's not something we can discuss at will, but since we are in the officialdom, we must be confident about many things, otherwise we may become the target of some people. Especially Yu'er, You are from a girl's family, so naturally you don't understand these things, and you must listen to your brother's opinions in everything in the future, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others."

Daiyu was surprised in her heart, why did her father say such strange words so politely, those nasty things are not something girls should listen to, so could they still have something to do with her?But still nodded meekly.

But he didn't know that Lin Ruhai's heart was full of turmoil at this time, such a major event would inevitably involve him, who would let him be in charge of half of the world's money, let alone he couldn't let the emperor die inexplicably like this.It is important to keep the Lin family alive, but as important ministers of the country and deeply trusted by the late emperor, the Lin family must take responsibility.It's just that Daiyu is the one who worries the most. Mo Han is completely capable of protecting herself, but Daiyu is too kind and simple to avoid being plotted against.

"Yu'er, you go to the council first, Daddy still has something to discuss with your brother."

Daiyu naturally knew that her father wanted to discuss the matter with her elder brother, and it had nothing to do with her anyway, so she followed through.
