【Yuanchun Whistleblower】
Wang Xiluan's expectation was right, Jia Shishi and Jia Zhengjing did not end well together.The Jia Shi family dismissed the title of first-class duke and wife on the charge of disobeying women's morals. Because of her old age and frailty, two generations of emperors did not take her life, but only asked the Jia family to abandon her; Jia Zheng, who usually likes to pretend to be sanctimonious, was dismissed from his post and his family property was confiscated.
After all, according to the thoughts of the two generations of emperors, all of Jia Zheng's family property was bestowed by Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rong who passed away many years ago. Now it is "confirmed" that Jia Zheng's "biological father" is unknown. How can you allow Jia Zheng, who is not a thing, to occupy property that does not belong to him... It would be kind to not take the lives of your family.
Qianlong thought he had dealt with this method leniently, but Wang Xiluan didn't think so.In Wang Xiluan's view, Qianlong was obviously proficient in the method of "letting people die, it is better to make life worse than death".Because how should I put it, although Jia Shishi and Jia Zheng's family are not dead, their reputations have been ruined to such an extent that they were expelled from the clan, became common people, and their family property was confiscated. How can Jia Shi and Jia Zheng's family of Huashi accept it.Therefore, Wang Xiluan did not feel the slightest surprise when he received Qingxue's report that Jia Yuanchun, the fifth rank Shanggong of Fengzao Palace, was kneeling outside Jingren Palace to beg for an audience...
But Wang Xiluan didn't plan to meet Jia Yuanchun, firstly because he didn't have a good relationship with her, and secondly, he was disgusted that Jia Yuanchun used her cousin's name to find various opportunities to get close to Qianlong and try to climb into bed.
In fact, Wang Xiluan didn't dislike Jia Yuanchun's bed-climbing behavior. After all, it's normal to have a low status and aspirations, but if you are self-motivated, don't use your own name. Wang Xiluan doesn't like Jia Yuanchun, and it's also because of this. .....
Fortunately, although Qianlong said that he was a bit lustful, he still knew Wang Xiluan's affairs very well.Therefore, knowing why Wang Xiluan disliked Jia Yuanchun's Qianlong, he never gave Jia Yuanchun a chance; in addition, the main palace of Fengzao Palace lived in the concubine Xian who Qianlong firmly believed to be unlucky, so Qianlong would rather go to the East and West Palaces to find flowers and ask willows, I also don't want to come to Fengzao Palace, which is located outside the East and West Six Palaces and is named after a separate repair.
Wang Xiluan asked Qingxue to send Jia Yuanchun away, but it was a pity that Jia Yuanchun refused to leave. Instead, he knelt firmly outside the Jingren Palace, letting the people in the palace point and point, and refused to move... He insisted on kneeling from the morning As dusk approaches and night falls...
Just when Jia Yuanchun's figure was faltering, Qianlong came to Jingren Palace sitting on the throne.Qianlong sat on the imperial seat and took a look from a distance, and saw a court lady in court lady's clothes kneeling in front of the gate of Jingren Palace.
Qianlong thought that this person made a mistake and was punished by Wang Xiluan, and he didn't care about it. The moment Yu Huan stopped, he skipped her and walked towards Jingren Palace. Who would have thought that Jia Yuanchun would have the courage , unexpectedly rushed to Qianlong with all his eggs in one basket...
Qianlong was startled, and subconsciously stretched out his legs and kicked.Jia Yuanchun, who was desperate to put all his eggs in one basket, was kicked straight by Qianlong.Because Qianlong practiced riding and shooting all the year round, he had great strength in his hands and feet, kicking Jia Yuanchun in the middle, kicking Jia Yuanchun far away, and spitting blood...
After receiving the news, Wang Xiluan quickly came to the gate of Jingren Palace, and happened to see Jia Yuanchun holding his chest and spitting blood, and those beautiful almond eyes were desolate and sad... She stared at Qianlong yelled in a mournful voice. "Long Live!"
What is different from Jia Yuanchun's attitude is Qianlong's reaction.I saw Qianlong's eyelids twitched, and then he ran to Wang Xiluan decisively, rubbing her little hands to comfort his frightened heart.
"Who is this female ghost?"
female ghost!
Wang Xiluan glanced at Jia Yuanchun, who had messy hair, messy clothes, and blood spots on his body, and felt strangely happy. "What a female ghost!"
Wang Xiluan struggled to pull out the wolf claws that Qianlong was kneading his wrist, and stretched out his slender fingers to twist Qianlong's waist. When he saw Qianlong's long face changing so much, he retracted his hand in satisfaction, and said with a smile . "This is Jia Shangshu of Fengzao Palace who has met with Lord Long Live in the Royal Garden many times in recent days."
Hearing the name Jia Yuanchun, Qianlong suddenly realized. "Ah, it's that...the daughter of Jia whose biological father is unknown..."
"Hey, Long Live Feelings remembers so clearly!" Wang Xiluan looked at Qianlong with a half-smile, and said with a cold snort when his big hand hugging her moved irregularly. "Today, this Jia Shangshu didn't know what kind of evil or someone instigated him, but he came to kneel at the gate of my Jingren Palace. I didn't intend to pay attention to it, but who would have expected that Jia Shangshu would have perseverance, and would never Kneeling in the morning till now..."
Qianlong asked Wu Shulai to call someone to take Jia Yuanchun down, and when he and Wang Xiluan had dinner and were about to rest in the Nuan Pavilion, Wu Shulai suddenly came in and reported. "Jia Shangshu has an important secret to share..."
Qianlong didn't take it seriously, but Wang Xiluan had a premonition.Vaguely, Wang Xiluan felt that the important secret Jia Yuanchun referred to should be related to him, so Wang Xiluan pretended to be casual and said to Qianlong. "At first, I thought that Jia Shangshu was here to intercede for his father and grandmother, but who knows that there is an important secret to tell... Why don't you meet with Long Live Lord."
Qianlong mistakenly thought that Wang Xiluan was curious, so it was optional to ask Wu Shulai to bring Jia Yuanchun in.
Although it is late autumn at this time, it is not cold at all.
Jingren Palace has been the residence of noble concubines since the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the main hall of Jingren Palace, which contains East and West Warm Pavilions, there are seven kinds of gardens in the inner hall, which are named Zhujin Tower, Jinlan Garden, and Autumn Garden. Shuangzhai, Yihexuan, Qifan Pavilion, Muxi Pavilion, Juqi Pavilion.
In the main hall where Wang Xiluan lived, the West Nuan Pavilion was used as a study and study room, while the East Nuan Pavilion was used for daily living.The East and West Nuan Pavilions in the main hall of Jingren Palace are large in size. The Dongnuan Pavilion used by Wang Xiluan for daily living has a side room on the left and right besides a room that can be used as an outhouse and has a very good lighting effect.Among them, the right ear room Wang Xiluan is used as a bathroom, while the left ear room is the daily resting place.
The bloodless Jia Yuanchun was led by the palace servants into the outhouse of Dongnuange, which was nominated by Lord Qianlong as the Qingyan Hall.After entering, Jia Yuanchun was scolded by the palace servants for not being polite before he could stand still.
After regaining his senses, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly kowtowed to pay his respects.
"Respectfully, the emperor, the noble concubine and empress, Sheng An!"
Jia Yuanchun originally thought that Qianlong would take pity on her and let her get up after kowtowing in a polite manner, but who would have thought that she had waited for a long time, but Qianlong did not have this intention.Instead, because of her shy and timid eyes, she became angry from embarrassment. "Didn't you say you have an important secret to tell? It's been a cover for not telling it after coming in for so long."
Jia Yuanchun shuddered, and it was at this moment that she just woke up.Perhaps in the past, I had a high self-esteem, and the emperor had no interest in her at all. The reason why she was put in Fengzao Palace as a fifth-rank palace, maybe it was just like what the concubine Xian said, but it was because of the fact that she died many years ago. For grandpa's sake...and now...
Thinking of the results of the blood test not long ago, Jia Yuanchun shuddered again. What should she do now that she has lost even this layer of protection? Could it be that...
Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun bit his red lips, and finally made up his mind and said. "The maidservant overheard Concubine Xian saying that she would do her best to make Jia Rong, who had taken the title of third-class general, marry that..."
When Wang Xiluan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized why he had forgotten about it.In later generations, a group of people speculated on the Internet about the true identity of Jia Rong's wife. Many people speculated that Qin Keqing was probably the (illegitimate) daughter of the deposed prince.Thinking of the news that his aunt's daughter disappeared on the eve of the aborted prince's suicide many years ago, Wang Xiluan thought that Qin Keqing was probably the missing daughter of the abolished prince...
Sure enough, what Jia Yuanchun said afterwards confirmed Wang Xiluan's guess.
"Long live Lord, you still remember the reason why the abolished prince committed suicide many years ago..." Jia Yuanchun, who had left behind his unrealistic fantasies, was calm and composed, but in exchange for a sigh from Lord Qianlong.
I saw Jia Yuanchun kneeling there, saying every word. "The biggest reason for the deposed prince's suicide is that his only legitimate daughter disappeared from the palace for no reason."
"You mean..." Qianlong narrowed his eyes dangerously. Although he always likes to smile and give people the feeling of spring breeze, once he stops smiling, he will give people the feeling of Yongzheng. Like a natural air conditioner, people can survive the winter all the time.It is the same now.Jia Yuanchun shivered involuntarily under Lord Qianlong's sharp eyes, and the sentences he spoke so well became intermittent.
"According to what the servant overheard, this Qin Keqing is the daughter of the abolished prince."
At this time, Wang Xiluan, who heard Jia Yuanchun's answer like this, was relieved, it turned out that this was really the case.But Concubine Xian actually knew whether it was because of the Ulanara family or...
Wang Xiluan didn't dare to think about it, because she had a vague premonition that if she thought about it, she would not only be terrified, but also cause turmoil in the government and the public.But the Wang family and the Wang family should not be involved...
.As for the Jia family...
Thinking of the Ningguo Mansion, which also belongs to the Jia clan, Wang Xiluan felt a sharp pain in his forehead.I don't want to take care of it, but I'm afraid that the people in this room will continue to be naughty and get involved in Jia Lian's room.After thinking about it, Wang Xiluan could only suppress his murderous heart, and asked carefully.
"Jia Shangshu, do you have any evidence to prove what you said..."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yuanchun's face darkened, and he said in a low voice. "I don't have any proof, but my servant never dares to lie to Lord Long Live and Your Majesty. If I lie, I will let my servant be struck by lightning and die."
Wang Xiluan and Qianlong looked at each other, and Qianlong spoke after a long time. "Jia Shangshu, you can stay in this side hall of Jingren Palace and rest well. When I invite the Supreme Emperor tomorrow, you will explain this matter in detail..."
Jia Yuanchun was led by Qingxue himself to rest in the side hall where the servants lived in the Baosha house. At this time, only Wang Xiluan and Qianlong were left in the Qingyan hall.Qianlong frowned as if thinking about it, Wang Xiluan said with a sigh.
"Of course I still can't figure out why I tried my best to facilitate the marriage between Qin Keqing and Brother Rong. Now that I think about it...the reason comes from here. Lord, how can this Ulanara family be so capable? , such secret things can be known. You must know that Huang Ama asked his concubine Ama to block the four gates of the capital, and conducted a thorough investigation from house to house... There was no news of the missing Gege (Qin Keqing) at all... ...Could it be..."
Could it be something...
Qianlong understood the unfinished meaning of Wang Xiluan's words.His daughter is nothing more than to remind himself that the reason why the Ulanara clan is so sure that Qin Keqing is the daughter of his second uncle who has been missing for more than ten years is that the Ulanara clan was probably a participant in the beginning.
Qianlong's face became more and more ugly. He walked back and forth, but his heart became more and more ups and downs.In the end, seeing that the sky was getting darker, Qianlong gently asked Wang Xiluan to rest earlier, and he himself sat on the dragon and drove back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
