Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

And...is this the end?How can it be!

Even if King Yizhong is not in the capital, and Prince Yizhong's mansion has been slapped in the face like this, how can he still "hold back"?It's too small to look down on the prince, especially the princess Yizhong.

The concubine Ling and the others can't move...because touching the concubine Ling is equivalent to touching the emperor, but it's definitely not a problem to find someone who has something to do with it...such as King Suduan.

Therefore, when Lin Hai was chatting with his boss in the yamen the next day, Guo Zheng, Minister of the Household Department, started with an "interesting anecdote", "The fourth son of Suduan Wang's family came out of the restaurant last night and fell off his horse accidentally... It is said that he lost his face."

Why accidentally fell off the horse?

Most likely, he surrounded the fourth son of Su Duan Wang's family in a dark alley, and then put on a sack and beat him up severely.

Lin Hai laughed when he heard this: This way of revenge is a bit childish...Of course, we have to look at the second move.Concubine Yizhong almost died twice, how can this matter be settled with a beating?

In other words, Prince Yizhong wanted to beat Prince Suduan violently.

It's a pity that King Suduan has only one son, and the prince and concubine love him like a treasure.In addition, since Prince Suduan lost his face last year, he doesn't go out very casually now, and every time he travels, there are quite a lot of battles. With King Yizhong taking away many masters from the palace, Prince Yizhong is really not very happy. It's good to attack the son of Prince Suduan.

In addition to the eldest son, the fourth son of a concubine belonging to King Suduan is highly valued by his father, and this king often goes out on behalf of King Suduan's mansion—well, it's you!

So the fourth young master was punched and kicked.But it's just a flesh injury, and it's not like a muscle injury... Yizhong Wang's son has always been measured: If the fourth son is really treated, it is true that Su Duan Wang is heartbroken, but it is also cheaper for the mother and son of Su Duan Wang.

After Lin Hai laughed, he asked again: "How did King Suduan react?"

Guo Zheng replied: "The younger generation is just playing around. If the prince really jumped out to ask for an explanation, it would not be him." Guo Zheng had already heard that Princess Yizhong had directly disposed of her two personal servants.

Lin Hai nodded, and first praised the prince for his calmness—after all, Guo Zheng is the "mother's family" of the prince Yizhong, and he loves to hear good things from the prince.

Seeing Guo Zheng's smile lines getting deeper, Lin Hai said again, "Your Majesty has always had hills and valleys in his chest, and he has the air of a sage."

Of course, the character of Prince Yizhong's son is like his own father: Compared with the calm and restrained Shengshang, King Yizhong's character is more clear and direct.

Guo Zheng smiled without saying a word, and nodded while listening, looking very proud.

Lin Hai met his "nephew and uncle" again: Guo Zheng doesn't need to act now.After all, for Lin Hai, it is not difficult to meet Prince Yizhong's son face to face, and it is not difficult to verify it face to face.

Thinking about it, Jia Lian has not contacted his uncle for many years, but once he took the initiative to say something nice, his uncle immediately changed his mind and took care of his nephew.

It's a pity that Daiyu's two uncles... are exceptions, ha ha.

In other words, Princess Yizhong was not afraid of being ashamed of "being fooled by her personal female officer for many years". The next day after disposing of the two, she sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter—it was the son of Prince Yizhong who entered in person. The palace delivers the letter.

It didn't take long for the Holy Majesty, all the concubines and princes to know all about it.

On the night when Guo Zheng and Lin Hai were chatting, Shengshang came to Concubine Xian's palace, and both of them felt a lot of emotion about Princess Yizhong's almost being recruited this time.

Concubine Xian helped the Holy Majesty to take off his coat, and personally served delicious tea, "I heard from the fourth son yesterday," she paused deliberately, the fourth prince succeeded her for a while, and she couldn't change her words for a while, but the Holy Majesty obviously had no intention of fussing , So she continued, "Second Sister-in-law's two close-fitting girls are not smoked like tiger and wolf medicine. Every time I pour tea, I shake some medicine powder into it. It accumulates over time, and replace it with a younger one. This medicine powder is taken from pregnancy. When it comes to childbirth, I'm afraid it's useless. But the second sister-in-law is already in her [-]s, and she's already taking tocolytics...there's something wrong with this baby, it's a dead body and two lives."

The Holy Majesty has also heard the reports of several imperial physicians, and just hearing the method, he feels familiar: who is behind this matter?

Don't look at his second brother and Suduan Wang to the point where you have no me - because of the diametrically opposed ideas and interests of each other, the struggle cannot be reconciled, and the two sides can also "point to the end".

If you fight to the death, you will never hurt your opponent's life, let alone kill your opponent.

Because King Yizhong and King Suduan are both clans!

Tai~zu~ established the rules when the country was founded: internal fighting is allowed, but killing is not allowed, otherwise they will be punished together!

For so many years since the founding of the dynasty, there is no precedent of beheading a clan, let alone slaughtering sons and grandchildren.This is also the fundamental reason why King Yi'an rebounded so strongly when he discovered the "Taishang Huanghu Poison Eater".

So not only did the Holy Majesty not believe that King Suduan would do this, even Princess Zhong, who was serious and bitter, didn't think that her family's political enemy King Suduan would make an exception because of her.

It is true that King Suduan loves money like his life and will repay his grievances, but he has not done so much harm to women and children.

However, Suduan Wangfu received a "slap" from Princess Yizhong, and it was not wronged: because Lingfei was recommended by Suduan Wang at the beginning, before the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, Suduan Wangfei would visit Lingfei every time she entered the palace.

Therefore, the Holy One is willing to let his second sister-in-law who has a good reason to vent her anger first, even if the Suduan Palace and Zhongshun Palace are very quiet after the army goes out.

So he listened to Concubine Xian's muttering, served tea and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law has a sense of propriety, just wait and see."

Seeing Sheng's calm expression, Concubine Xian could vaguely feel that his heart was on fire.

All the sons in a row made it difficult for the seductress to make the heirs difficult. If it weren't for the fear of getting the title of "father murderer", and the emperor still held about half of the imperial army in his hands, the emperor could really chop the concubine Ling into meat to vent his anger .

Therefore, in terms of "emotion" and "reason", even if the Taishang Emperor became more "pure-hearted and ascetic" after practicing Taoism, he could be unkind, but the Holy Majesty and even King Yizhong dared not be unfilial.

Well, if you can't deal with the temptress for a while, the Holy One can send someone to get rid of the temptress' minions outside... If you can bring out the mud during the process of pulling out the bamboo, and even expose the root system of the large bamboo forest... that would be even better. alright!

Concubine Xian could only murmur these words in her heart, she never expected that she had a tacit understanding with the Holy Majesty: Why hasn't there been any useful news from those who went south?

At the same time, in Fengzao Palace, it was heard that the sage was with the concubine Xian and did not need to serve the master, just for Yuan Chun to think about it quietly.

The message he just got from Baoqin has already made Yuan Chun sit up all afternoon.The imperial concubine rubbed her lower abdomen, her expression was gloomy and she didn't say a word for a long time - at that time, the big girls holding the piano and the servants on duty were all frightened.

Baoqin didn't look good, so he bit the bullet and went up to ask Yuan Chun if he wanted to invite a doctor.Thinking about how she went out of the palace to meet her relatives today, and when she came back, she immediately told the mother what she had said... The matter happened because of her, so naturally she was the first to ask.

Yuan Chun raised his head, frowned, and ordered his confidantes who were close to him not to move lightly, and continued to think after giving the order.

It wasn't until dinner time that Yuan Chun seemed to "come back to his senses", and said to Baoqin, "I'll make a pot to eat tonight, I've been thinking about it all afternoon and I'm hungry." As he said that, he also laughed, stroking his belly and said , "I don't dare to starve this little ancestor in my belly even if I am hungry."

Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "What is what the empress said."

Yuan Chun could clearly hear the overtones of the most trusted girl. She patted the back of her hand holding the piano, "So what if my mother's family is in trouble? I'm a girl, talk...not to mention my cousin in the East Mansion, but my own." Parents may not really take it to heart."

Yuan Chun also expressed his feelings.

For example, she forbids her mother and sister-in-law to lend money outside, but the mother and sister-in-law are only a little restrained; another example is that she forbids her natal family to build a luxurious family-saving villa, but the family didn't hear it, and it seems that the construction was suspended because of the money shortage caused by the father's deficit ... Later, because she was pregnant, she couldn't go home to visit her relatives, so the matter was left alone.

As the empress' eyes and ears, Baoqin knew all these things, and she didn't know how to persuade her for a while.

This news came from the second master Lian. When Baoqin heard it from her own mother, she didn't think much of it, but the last sentence added by her mother made her have to pay attention: Mr. Lin said that this matter is not easy, and your mother should pay attention to it. If you knew earlier, maybe you should have planned earlier.

However, after seeing the empress's reaction, Baoqin also knew that this matter was no small matter.

It is said that the news spread from Jia Lian to Yuanchun here... There are quite a few twists and turns.

It is reasonable to pass the news, usually when Mrs. Wang enters the palace, she will tell the noble concubine herself - small text messages in black and white, if they are intercepted, it will be troublesome, naturally it is not as good as "get out of my mouth, into your ears" This way is safe.

Jia Lian was indeed not shrewd, but he was sure that it was not appropriate for his aunt to bring the news into the palace.

First, Second Aunt didn't think it was logical for Dongfu to send people to King Zhongshun's territory to buy medicinal materials.Second, Second Aunt... is very stubborn.My uncle had already endorsed this matter, but my second aunt felt that this matter was nothing serious, so when she passed the message to the noble concubine, she didn't know how it would change...

Because the second aunt seemed to have nothing on her face, but she didn't get along well with her aunt and uncle's family.With the promotion of my uncle, the confidant who had talked about Daiyu behind her back was also thrown into Zhuangzi, and the unease of the second aunt became more and more obvious.

Therefore, the way for the second aunt to spread the news is not going to work, so I can only think of ideas from the concubine's confidantes.

When the chief eunuch Xiu Mu in the imperial concubine's palace left the palace, he naturally had the opportunity to get in touch with her, but this chief eunuch couldn't guarantee that he would be loyal to the imperial concubine...

In short, Jia Lian always felt that there was no accurate word from the imperial concubine, and he didn't know if this person could be trusted...so it was left to let Baoqin's parents carry the letter.

Baoqin has served the imperial concubine since she was a child, the key is that this girl was taught by the old lady, and the mother of Baoqin still works in front of the old lady.

Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and went directly to talk to Jia's mother.

Ever since this grandson became an official, he often ran to her side... spending more time with her than his father and second uncle combined.

The old lady had a smile on her face, and she was very relieved in her heart.

At this time, Jia's mother was still not old and confused, and she did not put all her hopes on the prosperity of the family on Baoyu, who was born with visions.

She also valued her eldest grandson Jia Lian who often came to talk to her.

Jia Lian came here with something on his mind, and these days the relationship between his grandparents and grandchildren is quite harmonious, so he came in and shouted, "Grandmother save me."

The old lady was taken aback, and then squinted her eyes to take a closer look at her grandson: his face is not pale and his forehead is not sweaty, he is not embarrassed or scared... Does he look like he has caused trouble?It seems that he has something on his mind to ask her to explain his doubts.

Jia Lian didn't make any preparations, so he told his uncle about it by accident when he learned that people from Ningfu went to the southwest to buy medicinal materials, and his uncle asked him to let the imperial concubine know as soon as possible. Report a letter, the eunuchs around the empress don't know whether to believe it or not, please show me the way."

After the old lady listened quietly, she said, "Being cautious is the right thing to do." Brother Lian was afraid of the sourness of the second family... Compared with the daughter-in-law, the grandson and son-in-law are more popular with the old lady.

It is said that the old lady already knew that the two sons had turned to the Supreme Emperor, or King Suduan... She also acquiesced to this.

Even if you choose the wrong path, there is still a noble concubine at home, and it's just a few years of low-key, after all, the scenery remains the same.

And it's hard to say other benefits of being biased towards King Suduan, official positions and so on are not easy to have, but money is very plentiful.

Jia Zheng took and embezzled more than before, and he was not afraid of King Suduan's disciples finding fault again.How long has it been since then, half of the 3 taels lost at that time has already been recovered.

Jia Amnesty also made a lot of money from several businesses: the money that Lai Da led people to bring back a few days ago was earned by the old man through the relationship with King Su Duan this time—this is the bonus of surrender. .

Of course, after the money is credited, a part of it has to be donated, but the family has indeed benefited.Even more because of this east wind, the concubine's birthing villa was successfully completed.

Seeing the real benefits, Mother Jia will naturally not object to the choices of her sons, but the old lady also knows the truth that "eggs should not be put in one basket": grandson Jia Lian's uncle and uncle still favor King Yizhong, while The grandson listened to his uncle and uncle very much, and the old lady also acquiesced to this.

Not to mention grandson Jia Lian, the old lady also trusts her son-in-law Lin Hai: she trusts his character and his judgment.

So the news finally reached Yuan Chun's ears smoothly... It's still the original version.

Yuan Chun was different from her mother-in-law who couldn't read many words. She grew up beside the old lady, and her knowledge may not be inferior to Jia Zhu who was elected at a young age.

Many scholars in this era, especially those from relatively wealthy families, are proficient in medical science.When Yuan Chun was studying, her grandfather was still alive, needless to say that condition, when she entered the palace and became a female historian and then became a concubine, Yuan Chun spent most of her free time studying.

In short, Yuan Chun is not only proficient in medical theory, but her medical level is very good.After listening to Baoqin's report, she had some guesses about the medicinal materials purchased from the Ning Mansion, and with her uncle's words "let the imperial concubine know as soon as possible", she was sure that her uncle had thought of a place with her.

What kind of medicine it is, and what is its use, Yuan Chun can guess at least seven or eight points.Don't forget that Yuan Chun got into the eyes of the Holy Majesty just because of the credit of a certain confidant of Concubine Ling.

By the way, from the confession of the concubine's confidant, the Holy Majesty cut off the Mu family's wealth and information line from the northwest to the capital.

The more Yuan Chun thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed secretly: If you don't go sooner or later, you must have made such a thing after the death of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, plus it is King Zhongshun's territory...

Qin Keqing's life experience, Yuan Chun's heart is like a mirror.

That medicine... definitely has something to do with it... It's just that this kind of thing can't be hidden from the Holy Majesty!

Because several princes have been tricked by Concubine Ling, the Holy One has already sent people to leave Beijing to search for clues.

Thinking about this matter for the better, Elder Brother Zhen is just curious, or is it to avenge Qin Keqing, and went to find out about the Zhongshun Palace and the Mu family, but when this opportunity occurs, it is likely to hit the south wall, and then it will fall to the Holy Majesty. , I can't tell what is under the plum in the melon field!

Anyway, she didn't believe that big brother Zhen could collude with the Mu family - because the one who got rid of Qin's biological father at the beginning was Ling Taifei's general brother, and it was his uncle Jia Daihua himself; The orphaned person is still his uncle Jia Daihua.

As far as the Qin family is concerned, the Ning family has both kindness and hatred towards her; but for the Mu family, there is only hatred and no kindness!

Perhaps not much is known about this matter by the natal family, and Yuan Chun only learned of this not-so-secret secret only after listening to the words of the Holy Majesty himself.

In short, after thinking about it for a while, Yuan Chun decided that the next time the saint came up, she would let her know in advance.

After sorting out these thoughts, Yuan Chun finally remembered that she had been sitting for too long and had to move around. Only then did she realize that her legs were numb...

Yuan Chun walked slowly around the room holding the hand holding the qin, thinking as he walked: the only way to pass the news is by holding the qin...the more I think about it, the more I can't justify it.

But she was pregnant and couldn't do many things.So she ordered Baoqin to say, "Tell your parents, and every time from now on, ask my second elder brother Lian if you have anything to say."

Baoqin quickly responded, "Yes."

Mother may want to control her outside eyes and ears... imagine controlling her like Baoyu.

Yuan Chun just doesn't care about it - how much knowledge she has gained since entering the palace, even if there was something she didn't understand before, now... can she hide it from her?

The mother has taken a fancy to the title of the head of the house, and it is not easy to make it too obvious now, but she wants to make it impossible for the head of the house to talk to her easily.

Yuan Chun couldn't help sneering at this thought: petty.So what if my uncle is a first-class general?Did he keep his word in the court?

If the mother's family wins the title due to a crime, can the second family guarantee that they will not be involved in the slightest?Would it be more safe to not be downgraded to the title?

Mother thinks too highly of her.

Yuan Chun expressed his feelings, and in front of his sister and confidant who grew up with him, he had nothing to say, "Mother is also not worrying. The second brother Lian dared not let her send a message, maybe because he was afraid of involving his uncle. Over there, my mother made a mistake with pantothenic acid."

Baoqin persuaded: "My wife is a concubine, my wife is naturally happy, and my heart is... naturally different from before."

To tell the truth, Baoqin is worthy of Yuan Chun's trust in her.

Yuanchun suddenly felt blessed: the queen's father and brother will definitely be able to become a prince!

When she first became a concubine, the title her mother mentioned should be referring to this!At that time, my uncle Wang Ziteng was a first-rank official, and it seemed that he still had a chance to join the cabinet. It was not unusual for my mother to think this way.Afterwards, my uncle had a stroke and had to recuperate behind closed doors. When my mother entered the palace again, she mentioned the title of title in a nonsensical manner, always accompanied by how my uncle was out of tune. After Lian's second brother became an official, he didn't care about his family... At this time, my mother thought about it. It must be the title of Dafang.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chun couldn't help but have a headache: Mother is really proud and arrogant, and she only wants to be sharp and strong.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

When Mrs. Wang married into the Rongguo Mansion, she was first overwhelmed by her sister-in-law, who was Jia She's original spouse, Jia Lian's mother-in-law, and then by the real eldest daughter and sister-in-law Jia Min. Apart from her appearance, Mrs. Wang at that time was no matter what her background was. Knowledge or knowledge, none of them can be compared with sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Mrs. Wang is really full of jealousy and has nowhere to complain.

After more than ten years, after suffering these two to death, she still has the mountain of Jia Mu on top of her head...

When her elder brother is fully developed and her daughter becomes a concubine, Mrs. Wang feels that she can feel proud for a while, but the fact is still not as she wished.

Especially Mrs. Wang found that even if she had a pregnant concubine daughter, her status in the family didn't seem to change.The real financial power and important human connections are still in the hands of the old lady.

Even though she knew it was not appropriate, Mrs. Wang who entered the palace could not help complaining to her daughter, and then mixed her own wishes into these fragmentary complaints.

Yuan Chun didn't pay much attention to it all the time, but now that he has completely figured it out, he also...doesn't want to pay attention to it.It is true that her mother is not easy, so is it easy for her in the palace?

Although her uncle was indeed her help, he was holding her back for a longer period of time.The concubine can't take charge of the palace affairs, and it's probably a beating by the sage.

It is estimated that she and her uncle are not completely of the same mind, so the Holy One gave her a lot of face.

Yuan Chun got close to Concubine Xian, and heard a lot about the affairs of the court.A few days ago at Concubine Xian's place, I heard some anecdotes about my uncle, Yuan Chun didn't even want to call my aunt into the palace anymore.

To use the current language, it means that knowing that my uncle is a political speculator who "knows both ways" means that Yuan Chun is not well.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang Ziteng seems to be touched by something. These days he is recuperating at home, and Concubine Xian also said that avoiding the limelight and criticism is getting less and less, Yuan Chun is a little relieved.

Having said that, just because Jia Yucun was investigated for selling an official, Wang Ziteng would be so angry...half angry and half frightened that he would have a stroke...how is that possible?

It just so happened that in the palace at this time, Wang Ziteng sat on the rocking chair, tapped his temples with his fingertips, "Are you almost in the capital?"

The eldest son sitting next to him replied in a low voice: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, just go to the government and settle the matter. He probably never said anything that shouldn't be said."

The father and son were talking about Jia Yucun.

Wang Ziteng nodded, "Over there," he sighed softly, "I didn't find him either. Let him calm down and talk about the recovery."

The eldest son responded, and reminded, "I heard that Jia Zhen from the Ningfu sent his confidants to the southwest...he didn't want to avoid people either."

Wang Ziteng waved his hand, "If you can find anything, you will underestimate the Zhongshun Palace. If he wants to cause trouble, let him go."

"Where is that lady?"

Wang Ziteng pressed his hands on the armrests, sat up straight gently and deftly, "I will let your mother enter the palace to remind you later." After a pause, he said emphatically, "Your Majesty is different from my sister, she is a sensible person. In the future Maybe you still have to expect your mother to say a few words, don't be negligent. Don't talk nonsense with your mother."

The eldest son shook his shoulders slightly when he heard the words... He didn't have to act in front of his father, "Yes. The son knew he was wrong."

Wang Ziteng nodded, "Princess Yizhong must have been really angry this time..." He still has some tricks against King Suduan, "I will write a letter later, and you can send it to Prince Yizhong's residence."

He also didn't ask Princess Yizhong to write down this favor... As long as King Yizhong can return safely, he can be regarded as half a regent, not to mention a complete turnaround.All he did was to bring back a little bit of impression points, so as not to make King Yizhong hate him so much anymore.
