The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

After everyone set off one by one, Ning Shan immediately started to transfer Princess Yinghua.Fortunately, the emperor was stingy, and the new Duke Huguo Mansion built for him was rebuilt on the basis of the original Ninghou Mansion, and the previous tunnels and darkrooms were preserved intact.

Princess Yinghua has been in a coma since she gave birth. Nanny Hua wrapped her tightly in a cloak, making it airtight. Ning Shan picked her up and sent her to the dark room behind the study with the maid who served the princess. inside.That place is the safest place in the entire Ninghou Mansion. Four tunnels connect all directions, and the farthest one leads directly to the outside of the city.Speaking of which, this Ninghou Mansion was rebuilt by a previous royal mansion. I don’t know what kind of mentality the prince had at that time. He dug the bottom to extend in all directions, and repaired the darkroom and cellar one on the left and one on the right. Food, drinking water, and hiding in a vanguard of 3000 people are enough to live for more than half a month.

Ning Shan watched as Nanny Hua led a group of maids to put Princess Yinghua in place, then turned around and said to the old imperial doctor Zheng who was following leisurely, "Are you planning to stay here too? Or do you want to go home?"

The old doctor Zheng said: "What are you doing at home? I will stay here to take care of the princess. If you ask someone to call me before dawn today, I will know that there is something important. The old wife and grandchildren hid away. Anyway, I am the only one in my family with a real job, and the others just leave as they say, and I am afraid that they are all in Cangzhou by now."

Ning Shan cupped her hands in salute: "Yinghua will get rid of you when you are old." After finishing speaking, Long Xinghu stepped out of the dark room, sealed the secret door from the study above, changed into court clothes, and prepared to confront the Supreme Emperor head-on.

The Supreme Emperor in the palace was still immersed in the excitement of Baochai bringing him the legendary secret medicine, when he suddenly heard someone coming in from outside to report that the Emperor brought people over in a hurry, and there was only half a stick of incense left before he arrived at Daming Palace. .The Supreme Emperor sneered and said: "It's the emperor's misfortune. It just so happens that the widow has brought something good here, so I just give it to him." Baochai knelt on the ground and shivered violently.

This trembling movement was a bit big, and the Supreme Emperor caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and simply ignored the matter, saying: "Then girl, you can handle this matter. When the emperor comes in later, you can serve him the tea." .”

Baochai knocked her head on the ground, shaking like fallen leaves in the cold wind, thanks to her quick wits at this moment, she shouted: "It's not that slaves don't obey the emperor's orders, it's just that slaves serve Princess Yinghua, and the princess and the emperor If the relationship is not harmonious, the emperor will not drink the tea that the servant respects."

The Supreme Emperor raised his hand and stroked his beard, and thoughtfully said: "This is also the reason, then you step back..." Baochai was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again, but when the Supreme Emperor changed the subject, he said again: "By the way, you Didn't you bring a few girls outside? Find someone to replace you."

Baochai got up tremblingly, backed out of the door, and saw Baoqin, Xiangyun, and Tanchun all standing with their heads bowed on the steps of the white marble wall, all sweating profusely. Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe out, everyone held their breath, and no one was interested in entering the palace for the first time to look around.

Baochai looked at the three of them, thinking quickly who should be chosen to replace her.It is said that Baoqin is the smartest, but this is her family, if Baoqin is accused of assassinating the emperor, their Xue family will still be unlucky;

Xiangyun listened to her the most, but this girl was a silly elder sister. Baochai didn't dare to tell her clearly, but hinted that she was afraid that she wouldn't understand. Besides, she was the most ordinary-looking girl among the three, and she wanted to seduce her. For the emperor to drink tea with added medicine, at least it must have an outstanding appearance, which can make his eyes shine, and he is not on guard;

With such a consideration, it can only be Tanchun.She is Yuan Chun's concubine sister, and can be regarded as a half-in-law's sister-in-law. Presumably the emperor would not be wary of the concubine's family.After Baochai quickly analyzed the pros and cons, she ran down and took Tanchun's hand, and said affectionately, "Third sister, the Supreme Emperor announces your audience, and come with me."

Tanchun's legs went limp, and he immediately fell to the ground.Baochai didn't expect Tanchun to be so courageous. With her psychological quality, when she came up with tea later, wouldn't she just hang herself on the ground?Things have developed to this point, don't even try to hide, you can only bite the bullet.

Baochai turned back and suggested to the Supreme Emperor: "Report to the Supreme Emperor, this servant thinks about it and thinks it would be better not to administer the medicine in the Daming Palace? I'm afraid the Emperor is afraid of you..."

The Supreme Emperor said impatiently: "Anyway, this matter is entrusted to you. If you do well, the widow will naturally reward you. If you don't do well, just wait for the whole family to be executed." The threats made Baochai's legs weak, and the whole body Limp on the ground like a pile of cotton, tremblingly watched the Supreme Emperor walk towards the apse.

Dai Quan came up, flicked his fly whisk, and asked in a long voice: "Ms. Xue said the truth, but I don't know what to do now?" When he arrived at the princess mansion, Baochai's appearance was striking enough, and Dai Quan remembered him after seeing her twice.As a low-level female official, it is really something to be proud of to be remembered by Dai Quan, who is known as the inner minister.But now Baochai has completely lost the ambition of Guangzong Yaozu, she just turned her head desperately, thinking about how to save the life of the whole family.

Fortunately, Baochai has always been calm, and I don't know how her father, Ziwei Sheren, taught her back then. Her psychological quality is so strong that she is not like a girl of her age. Today, she was frightened one after another, but she was always quick-witted, and said to Dai Quan: "Trouble." Neixiang, how can I think of a way to send Miss Jia to the palace of the concubine Jia, if it is in the palace of the concubine to serve tea to the emperor, it will be much easier." She was determined to throw the blame on the Jia family, anyway. The medicine came from their family, and the idea of ​​harming people was mostly thought up by their family. Now there is a ready-made empress in the palace who can take the blame. Who will they cheat?

Dai Quan shook his fly whisk again, called a young eunuch, and simply ordered: "Send these four people to the palace of the concubine Jia, and when the emperor comes, just say that the emperor is here to take a nap." You don’t need to inform me.” After finishing speaking, he took the medicine bag into Baochai’s hands again, and said with deep meaning: “Ms. Here, trying to put on a calm look, he backed out and went out.

Probably because Princess Yinghua sent people into the palace, the emperor was a little more stimulated. Baochai and others retreated to the open space in front of the Daming Palace, and the emperor rushed over with a sullen face. He fell to the ground to say hello, and before he could say anything, he was kicked to the ground by the emperor, only to hear a loud shout from above his head: "Where are the people sent by Yinghua? Tell them to get out!" He has become an embarrassing imperial sister—there was no emotional basis at all, she helped the Supreme Emperor everywhere, not to mention stumbling him, and there is a dead brother pressing on his head—the Emperor has already decided that once the Supreme Emperor dies, he will kill him. Yinghua was buried in the imperial mausoleum.As for how the Supreme Emperor died, his beloved concubine Jia Bin had already promised to contact her mother as soon as possible to send the family secret medicine to the palace. As soon as the treasure was in hand, he would be worthy of the title of emperor.

The Taishanghuang and the emperor had exactly the same idea, but the other side moved much faster. Baochai knelt behind, knowing that he would not escape this catastrophe today.She has always been an ambitious person who believes in "the good wind will send me to Qingyun by force", but now that she is forced to the top, she also has a bloody attitude - just like Mrs. Wang's first attack on Dafang was just with a try mentality, Baochai also went all out to earn a living for herself.

Curly and Tingting raised her head, Baochai's beautiful eyes looked forward, and the brilliance flowed in her eyes. Just that shy smile, delicate demeanor, and lips that were not even parted, already made the person who was facing him more tender. The gentle voice, "Greetings to the emperor" said thousands of times, lingering endlessly.

The emperor also recognized Baochai at a glance. He was taken aback for a moment, and then saw her female officer's attire clearly. He was overjoyed and blurted out: "Where did you go? Why didn't I find you later?"

To say that today's emperor is really depressed, power and rights are out of touch, money and money are out of hand, and even the harem is dominated by middle-aged and young ladies.What's more, when he was still a prince, he was not favored and had no status. All the main concubines and side concubines were picked from others, not to mention his family background, even his appearance was at a level that was submerged in the crowd.

It's hard to succeed once, but he can't choose the show when he becomes the emperor. The freshest among his concubines is Jia Yuanchun, who was only accepted after entering the palace. He is also in his thirties, no matter how beautiful he is, he doesn't look good up.Not to mention Baochai's youth and tenderness, she is far superior to all his concubines in appearance alone, and it is only natural that the emperor will never forget her when he sees her.

Baochai was waiting for this reaction, she was going all out, if the emperor cared about her and intended to make her a concubine or concubine, then this medicine would be her certificate of honor, and she helped kill the emperor, not to mention being an empress , at least worth a noble concubine;

If the emperor doesn't remember her, or has no intention of paying attention to her, then he will turn his back on the Supreme Emperor completely. Even if the Supreme Emperor doesn't give her a reward, there are a lot of advantages in her status as a maidservant for Princess Yinghua .After all, Princess Yinghua is the most powerful daughter of the Supreme Emperor. With the great military exploits and power of her son-in-law, General Ning Shanning, the next emperor will have to confess to Princess Yinghua no matter who he is, even if it is the current son. He has no guts to avenge the murder of his father.

Now, the emperor's attitude is already clear.
