The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

After hearing what Wang Taiji said, Yuan Chun immediately remembered what Baochai had said to her back then, and his complexion turned pale again.Doctor Wang saw that Yuan Chun understood what he meant, so he went to the flower hall to prescribe a prescription, shook his head and went back to the imperial hospital.

Baoqin didn't dare to give her hands to others, so she followed the medicine boy to the imperial hospital to get the medicine, then went to the small kitchen to see that it was fried, and then brought it to Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun looked at the medicine, and tears fell down , Concubine Chen stayed by her side all the time, seeing Yuan Chun like this, she hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, it's not good for the child."

With tears in his eyes, Yuan Chun held Concubine Chen's hand and cried, "Sister, what should I do?"

Concubine Chen didn't know how Yuan Chun conceived this child, so she couldn't understand Wang Taiyi's words, but who can survive in the palace, which one doesn't have a heart with exquisite seven apertures, Concubine Chen only comforted softly: "Your Majesty As long as you relax your mind, your body will get better, you must know that overthinking is the most harmful to the body. My sister advised the empress not to think so much, as long as the little prince is born safely, even the big things will disappear."

Yuan Chun frowned, and it was difficult to explain to Concubine Chen, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you sister Jiyan."

Concubine Chen brought the medicine to Yuan Chun and said, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine first."

Yuan Chun took the medicine and drank it with a frown, wiped the residual juice from his lips with a handkerchief, took Concubine Chen's hand and said: "My good sister, I only trust you in this palace now, my sister begs you for one thing. "

Concubine Chen knew that Yuan Chun wanted to inquire about Jia's affairs by herself, so she frowned slightly and said, "The empress wants me to inquire about the affairs of the family. The empress doesn't need to tell me to do it. Although I don't know what's going on, I don't want to do it." It would be too serious, the civil and military families in the Manchu Dynasty are not like that, not only the Jia family, if there is something, I'm afraid it's still on cousin Ling, who in the palace doesn't know that cousin Ling is the heart of the emperor and empress, just a few of them The prince will also be held high by his cousin.I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is especially fond of Cousin Ling, and Cousin Ling may not be the Crown Princess. In my sister's humble opinion, the empress should work hard on Cousin Ling. "

Yuan Chun sighed softly. Although she seldom goes out, she also pays attention to the news inside and outside the palace. Daiyu's favor is well known to Yuan Chun, but her mother has done everything first, so now she wants to It is difficult to turn around.

Concubine Chen knew why Yuan Chun was sighing, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, we are a family after all, if there is anything we can't do, it's fine for the empress to talk to my cousin."

Yuan Chun rubbed his stomach with his hand, thought for a while, bit his lower lip and said: "What my sister said is very true, but now my cousin is not in the palace, and I can't see her, so what should I do?"

Concubine Chen smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Sister, did you forget that the empress's birthday is still six days away? When the time comes, the cousin must enter the palace to congratulate her. At that time, the elder sister will be able to see her cousin. She is just a For a little girl, as long as my elder sister speaks soft words to her, she will naturally change her mind. As long as she acts coquettishly in front of the empress, and has a few words with His Royal Highness, won't the matter be over?"

Yuan Chun nodded and said: "What my sister said is very true. It is all thanks to my sister who reminded me. When the old lady and the others come out safely, I will thank my sister."

Concubine Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't say that, the old lady has a deep affection for our family, what my sister can do is not as good as the old lady." Concubine Chen stayed with Yuan Chun for a long time, and left after Yuan Chun's mood stabilized.As soon as Concubine Chen left, Yuan Chun called Baoqin to her side, dismissed the other palace maids and eunuchs, and said in a low voice, "Baoqin, you send someone out of the palace to look for Xue Baochai."

Holding the piano for reasons: "Your Majesty, it's not like before. All the people in Fengzao Palace have their exit badges taken back, and people in our palace can't go out at all."

Yuan Chun lowered his voice and said: "Whoever wants you to report before going out, I want you to send someone out quietly, find Xue Baochai, and just tell her to be ready for election."

Baoqin didn't understand Yuan Chun's meaning, the palace didn't intend to choose a talent, she looked at Yuan Chun suspiciously and said softly: "Your Majesty, but the palace doesn't want to choose someone."

Yuan Chun lowered his face and shouted, "You just pass on the word, don't say much else."

Baoqin thought for a while, then said softly: "If you want to send a message, you can only buy Eunuch Wu from the imperial dining room, but is it appropriate to let him send a message?"

Yuan Chun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's not right. In this way, you take two gold Ruyi buckles, untie one of them halfway, and then seal it in a box, and let him hand it over to Xue Baochai, that girl from the Xue family. She is scheming, she will definitely understand after reading it."

Yuan Chun had a very good idea, as long as he cheated Baochai to get the antidote, and tried to get rid of her, the matter would be unnoticed, and he could give birth to a child safely. I underestimated myself.

Baoqin used the name of making medicinal food to find Eunuch Wu quietly. This Eunuch Wu is a greedy person. Baoqin first gave him ten taels of gold, and said that he would give him twelve taels after the matter was completed. Eunuch Wu went to buy, then I have done too many things such as conveying messages with entrained things, so I didn't pay much attention to them, and I just agreed.

Holding the piano back to Yuanchun, Yuanchun waited patiently for the reply.One day later, Baoqin went to look for Eunuch Wu again, only to see Eunuch Wu with a livid face, without saying a word, he threw the twelve taels of gold and the small box sealed with Ruyi to Baoqin, Baoqin asked in surprise: " Eunuch Wu, what did you say?"

Eunuch Wu snorted heavily and said, "I went to Mr. Wang's mansion as you said, and when he heard that he was looking for Xue Baochai, he beat me out with a stick. Look, my old waist I was injured. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been twisted and sent to prison by Mr. Wang's servants. What do you think you are doing? I have been working in the palace for so many years. When have I suffered such a disadvantage?" Baoqin I was taken aback, and hurriedly accompanied the ceremony and said: "I really feel sorry for Eunuch Wu, you have been wronged. But what's going on? Miss Xue should inspect Prince Teng's mansion in the nine provinces up?"

Eunuch Wu said angrily with a dark face: "Fuck, the mother and daughter of the Xue family are both locked up in the prison, who can see it, bah bah bah, bad luck!"

Baoqin hurriedly picked up the gold and the small box with a smile, and she stuffed the gold into Eunuch Wu's hands. Although Eunuch Wu was hot-eyed, he had been in the palace for many years and knew what money he could get and what money he couldn't, so he didn't hesitate He throws the gold back to Baoqin, and he won't take it according to Baoqin's good words.Baoqin had no choice but to take the gold and the small box back to Fengzao Palace.

When Yuan Chun heard that Xue Baochai was locked in the prison, her heart sank, she sat on the bed blankly without saying a word.Baoqin was terrified, and hurriedly shook Yuan Chun and shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Yuan Chun just kept silent, and Baoqin cried anxiously: "Girl, what are you talking about..."

When Yuan Chun heard this sound, "Girl"'s eyeballs moved, her throat thumped, and she cried out holding the piano with a wow.

Baoqin hugged Yuanchun and coaxed softly: "Madam, you can't cry now, you have to think about Xiaolongzi. Doctor Wang has repeatedly told you not to get too emotional."

Yuan Chun cried loudly: "Baoqin, I have no hope..."

Baoqin's heart trembled, he quickly hugged Yuanchun's shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, you still have the Emperor and Xiaolongzi!"

"Your Majesty?" Yuan Chun suddenly called out coldly, with endless hatred in his voice, "The Emperor made me a noble concubine because of my meritorious service that day, but he never liked me. I married the Emperor for 12 years. In this palace, except for the queen, no one is more senior than me, but I can only watch those later ones climb up to me one by one. If my mother didn't help me with meritorious service, how could I become a noble concubine? , I am not as honorable as a favored concubine, my mother tried to help me get pregnant, but was plotted by the traitor again, hold the piano, my life is so miserable..."

Baoqin was speechless, and could only let Yuanchun vent the hatred in his heart, Yuanchun paused, and then said: "Baoqin, I don't hide it from you now, my mother gave me the medicine to help me conceive, so I have this body, but this medicine was given to my mother by the Xue family. They tampered with the medicine and threatened me to bring Xue Baochai into the palace to accompany the king. Now if I don’t get the antidote, I will be able to give birth to a child. Our mother and son can't survive, they are so vicious!"

Baoqin was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she never expected that there would be such a tortuous inside story.It's just that this kind of thing is not something that she, a slave who works as a handmaid, can interfere with.She could only murmur: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

Yuan Chun bit his lower lip and said: "I don't know how long I can last, so I have to get Xue Baochai out as soon as possible, as long as she is in my hands, there will be salvation. Baoqin, you have been with me in the palace for 12 years. You have a wonderful youth, now I just ask you to do one last thing for me, this thing is over, I will find you a good family, let you be the wife of the house in a good way." Baoqin said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, just tell me, the matter of your Majesty is just a matter of holding the piano, for the sake of your Majesty, you are willing to die while holding the piano."

Yuan Chun touched the hand holding the piano, and said in a low voice, "Good sister!"

Baoqin knelt down, looked at Yuanchun and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the servants?"

Yuan Chun was very confused, she thought for a while before saying: "You are not young now, and the empress's birthday will be six days later, and then I will ask the empress to let you go out of the palace. After you leave the palace, find a way to go." Mrs. Tan and the prisoner of Xue Baochai, no matter what method they use, they must get the antidote. After you get it, send a letter and I will arrange for you to enter the palace."

Baoqin wondered: "My mother will obey Baoqin's orders, but Jia's family has been confiscated, everyone has been locked up, and the servants are weak, but what should we do about this matter?"

Yuan Chun smiled mysteriously and said: "As long as you can visit your wife's prison, she will arrange for you. If your wife can't do it, you can go to the old lady. With the old lady here, it's not difficult."

Baoqin was skeptical, and thought to himself: "The old lady has been locked up, so what can she do if she is capable?"

Baoqin went to the outhouse with a lot of worries, and sat alone at the table in a daze, Yuan Chun knew that Baoqin had to think about it, so he didn't ask her to wait on her.Just like that, Baoqin thought about it all night...

Concubine Li went to Fengzao Palace to make a fuss, the emperor and the empress got the news very quickly, the empress said with a smile: "Concubine Li is indeed a disobedient master, no wonder the emperor likes her."

The emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xin'er, I don't want to recruit other concubines any more, so let's stop your jealousy. It was all my fault before, okay? Xin'er, you have a lot, so let it go!" Let me be your husband, okay?"

The empress rolled her eyes at the emperor, her red lips parted slightly and said: "You're greedy again, and he doesn't mean that much, it's no good just talking and laughing for a while."

The emperor put his arms around the queen's shoulder and smiled and said: "OK, please, Xin'er, your birthday will be six days away, what gift do you want?" Zhao He, it’s not interesting, on that day, I just want to cook a few small dishes myself, and then our family will have a warm meal, and that will be enough.”

The emperor agreed deeply, nodded and said: "What Xin'er said is that I don't know what I am eating every day when I eat the dishes cooked in the imperial dining room. It was when we were young that our family and He Meimei had a lively meal. , that’s called incense. Hey, when it’s your birthday, of course you still have to accept congratulations during the day, so change the banquet to noon, and at night, my husband will take you and Qi’er Qing’er to the Lin’s house quietly, borrowing them The kitchen at home will cook for you."

The queen laughed and said, "That's a good idea, but we are free, and the Lin family will be disturbed."

The emperor smiled confidently: "Oh, let's go out of the palace quietly in low clothes, and don't want them to pick you up, just like sneaking to Ruhai's house back then."

The queen sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that Ru Haimin'er is gone, otherwise we would be happy together."

The emperor patted the queen's shoulder lightly, and said warmly: "But Yu'er is still there, she is the painstaking effort of Ru Hai Min'er's life, and it's the same with her."

The queen nodded and said: "What brother Tian said is that Yu'er has only left me for a day, and I feel uncomfortable, as if she has been away for a few years. If she is older, it will be fine. Let Qi'er marry her in the door early. , I also have a daughter-in-law."

The emperor jokingly said: "With a mother like you who robs her son of a daughter-in-law, our Chi'er will suffer in the future."

The Queen pouted her neck and said: "No, I don't care about other girls except Yu'er."

The emperor agreed deeply, nodded and smiled and said: "What you said is true. In addition, Yu'er is not very talkative, but she can point to ideas whenever she says a word. Her talent will never be inferior to Ruhai. If it weren't for She is a girl, and I want her to be an official in the court.

Xin'er, you don't know, Yu'er seems to have said a few words to me unintentionally, and then she feels like pulling out the clouds and seeing the moon for me, and she can compete with her fox father. "

The queen pushed the emperor away and said angrily: "You are not allowed to say that about my Yu'er, she is the most obedient, cutest, most beautiful and smartest girl in the world, fox, thank you for thinking of it!"

Daiyu was reading a book in the study, and suddenly sneezed several times fiercely, scaring the snow geese and Zijuan who were guarding outside to rush into the study, one holding a sable waistcoat and sable warm hat, the other holding a Silver hand stove.The two of them rushed into the study room, one snatched the book from Daiyu's hand, stuffed the hand stove over it, and the other quickly put the waistcoat on Daiyu's body, put the warm hat around Daiyu's head, and waited for Daiyu to react. At that time, she was fully armed.

Looking at the two nervous girls, Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she shook her head and said, "I just sneezed with an itchy nose, and I didn't catch a cold. Why did that happen? Let's see how you wrap me up. The floor is caged in this room." Long, the orchids are in full bloom, so how can they keep me cold. Quickly take off this warm hat, and this waistcoat, are you going to heat me to death?"

Xueyan couldn't hear the word "death", so she turned her head and poohed several times before saying: "Miss, you are talking nonsense again, it is very cold today, we dare not be careless."

Daiyu wiped the thin sweat that was oozing from her forehead, and said with a wry smile, "What do you think it is? Some people still sweat in the winter. If this is really a disease caused by covering up, I won't take medicine."

Zijuan went up to wipe Daiyu's forehead with a handkerchief, and saw that she was sweating slightly, so she smiled embarrassedly and said: "The girl has been afraid of the cold these past few years, we are all used to it, and I don't want to go back to my home , the girl's body is much better than before."

Xueyan laughed heartlessly and said: "It's natural. When I return to my home, everything will be comfortable, and I don't have to be tricked by anyone. The girl's body will naturally get better. In fact, it's not only the girl, but also sister Zijuan. His complexion is much better than before.”

Zijuan hurriedly laughed and said: "It's all thanks to the girl. The Lin family is really different from other families. It's really comfortable to be here." Daiyu smiled and took off the sable waistcoat and handed it to Zijuan, saying softly : "I have been serving me since I came to the capital, and I will always remember it in my heart."

After hearing this, Zijuan blushed, knelt down and kowtowed.Daiyu frowned and said in surprise: "Well, what's the matter with you, Xueyan, help Zijuan up and talk."

Xueyan pulled Zijuan up, and Zijuan cried with tears all over her face: "Girl, please save my mother and elder brother!"

Daiyu frowned, "What happened to them?"

Zijuan still cried: "Jia's house has been raided, and all the servants have been arrested and thrown into prison."

Daiyu sighed lightly and said, "Oh, that's it. Don't worry, Zijuan, but all the servants of the criminal official's family will be bought by the official after the case is over. If your elder brother is innocent, you will Just go and buy them back. You have been with me all these years, and you have received money according to the monthly rules of the Lin family. Speaking of buying ten or eight people, you can afford it. If you don’t have enough money, I will give you some more. .”

After Zijuan heard this, she didn't dare to say anything, but she secretly thought in her heart, this case was handled by His Highness the Crown Prince, and my old lady is just a slave. His Highness can let them go with a raise of his hand, so why bother? Wait until the official sale?

Daiyu took a look at Zijuan, seeing all her thoughts in her eyes, Daiyu suppressed her smile and said lightly: "Zijuan, the law of the country is greater than the sky, and as the head of the county, I should be more self-disciplined. Slowly speaking, I can't open it." If you use this precedent to save people, even if you can save, I can't break the law. You are the son of the Jia family, and you know everything about the Jia family's actions. It is because they did not abide by the law that today's disaster happened."

Zijuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "I understand that I don't have any complaints. I just worry about my family and ask the girl for forgiveness." , if you want to visit the prison, just say it on the door, and they will let you out. Zijuan, you have been with me for many years, and you know my temperament. I can't want you anymore."

Zijuan was stunned, and hurriedly kowtowed to say yes.Daiyu asked her to go down, and Zijuan backed out of the door, then hurried back to her room.She understood that Daiyu would not come forward to save her old lady, so she had to count how much money she had left, and if she could save one, it was one.

After counting all the silver, Zijuan found that since he followed Daiyu, he had saved more than 130 taels of silver. Thinking about the price at the official sale, Zijuan estimated that he could buy all his parents, brother and sister-in-law for only 50 taels .Zijuan thought for a while, took out a fraction of the thirty taels of silver, and put away the 100 taels.Changing into purple clothes, Zijuan took the silver to see Daiyu, and begged Daiyu to let her inquire about the news.

Daiyu nodded and said: "Xueyan, you accompany Zijuan to see your aunt, and your aunt will tell the people at the door. Zijuan, you should be careful when you go out by yourself, but you are not allowed to visit the prison in the name of the Lin family."

Zijuan hurriedly agreed, and went to see Huiyun with Xueyan. After the two of them left, Daiyu sighed softly: "Zijuan, you have to grasp yourself, don't let this master-servant relationship go wrong."

Huiyun saw that the snow goose accompanied Zijuan to find her, and before Zijuan opened her mouth, Huiyun knew why Zijuan came, so she said lightly: "It's only natural that you want to see my mother, we won't Stop it. In fact, you can’t be regarded as a girl of our family. Your slave bond is still in the hands of Jia’s family. I think those people didn’t come to arrest you because they were thinking about the girl, otherwise they would punish you as a fugitive slave. , we can't protect you either."

Zijuan knelt down and said: "What madam said is that Zijuan is very grateful to madam for taking her in."

Huiyun turned to chuckle and said: "You don't have to say that, you are meritorious for serving the girl once, and our Lin family will remember that. You must be careful when you visit the prison. The servants of the Jia family are all locked in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. You Go to the door so that you can enter the prison with a few silver coins, so don't look for the door. Also, you have to come back before dark, so as not to encounter any criminals and suffer." Huiyun has both soft and hard After a phone call, Zijuan didn't know what it was like, so he could only kowtow and say, "Thank you, Ma'am, for your guidance."

Seeing Zijuan go out, Huiyun beckoned and ordered the little maid to call the guards in the mansion. After a few words, two guards followed her secretly behind Zijuan. Zijuan was serving Daiyu. Maid, Huiyun will never let her go out casually.Asking the guards to follow secretly not only protects Zijuan, but also monitors Zijuan.
