The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

About ten days later, the trial results of the murder of Princess Qin came out.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Concubine Xi, who visited and ate a few snacks with Princess Qin that day, and Prince Qin's concubine, Shu, are cousin sisters. It should be that Shu, who has been shunning rain and dew for a long time, was jealous of Princess Qin when she was pregnant with her little grandson. Only loved by King Qin, Concubine Xi colluded with Concubine Xi in the palace to kill Princess Qin.

Concubine Xi died violently out of fear of crime. After the crime was confirmed, Mrs. Shu was killed with a stick. Concubine Xi and Shu's mother's house were immediately raided.

As soon as the result came out, Jia Cairen was released from the bondage and returned to his original residence. After hearing about it, the people in Jia's mansion finally relieved the heavy burden of more than 20 days, and ran happily.Later, some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin were given by the emperor in order to appease the unfortunate families.

Mrs. Wang immediately came out of the room and ran into the palace again.

Mother Jia heard that Mrs. Wang had gone to the palace again, but it was too late to stop her. First she complained to Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, and she was very angry. Said: "What a stupid thing! I didn't argue a few times, and she got more and more face! Zheng'er, you have been an official outside for so many years, so you should know it well. Where is the palace? It's just a random walk ? It’s not enough to suffer a serious crime, but you have to run to the palace if you have nothing to do! She thinks that she will be all right now, and she can start to die again? Does this mean that our Jia family will not be reconciled if they don’t drag it down to death?”

Jia Zheng was obedient, and finally said: "Mother, don't worry about your ignorant son and daughter-in-law. When she comes back, my son will reprimand her."

When Mrs. Wang arrived at Yuanchun's place, she saw that although her daughter had lost a lot of weight, she was in good spirits, so she cried a few words to comfort Yuanchun, and then turned to the main topic, still begging Yuanchun to see how she could manage to get Jia Baoyu Come out, it's been almost a month, Baoyu's body is weak, don't die in the Jinyiwei prison.

Yuan Chun'e frowned slightly, with a sad face, and said helplessly: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help my own brother, it's that I am also a 'Nud Bodhisattva crossing the river - I can't protect myself', how can I save him? Mother You can ask someone else to figure it out."

Mrs. Wang wept and said, "I want you to think about it because I can't find anyone else. Alas, my precious jade is so miserable. Why did I meet such an evil spirit as the king of Qin, and I will ruin my life for life!"

Yuan Chun hurriedly stopped and said: "Mother! What kind of place is this! Don't talk nonsense!"

Yuan Chun looked at the maids who were close to him and watched the door. He expected that there would be no ears on the wall, so he said slowly: "Mother, why don't you know that this time, if the King of Qin didn't say righteous words to help our family, I'm afraid that this will be a good time." Our family has been ransacked and beheaded long ago, and the grass on the grave is already tall!"

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she trembled all over.

Only then did Yuan Chun explain how Concubine Hui pestered the emperor to demand the killing of the three clans of Jia's family that day, and how the King of Qin spoke uprightly, and finally said: "I don't think the King of Qin has any malice towards our family. Don't let Baoyu be long and Baoyu short, the king of Qin really wants to do something to him, so what if he is killed quietly? Our family can only swallow it! After all, Baoyu has something to offend the king of Qin. They have taught him a lesson, even if he is staying in prison, he hasn’t suffered much, so just wait. When King Qin’s anger dissipates, he will naturally be released.”

Mrs. Wang was still talking, Yuan Chun said wearily: "Mother, you should think about your daughter anyway. Do you think this matter is over? I don't think so. Let me tell you the truth, this time it is my daughter who is lucky. , survived, and saved the whole family by the way. If my daughter is not healthy, she will die in the inner punishment hospital first, and it may become a suicide in fear of crime, which will drag down the whole family, so I can't die even if I endure this breath There. Fortunately, some people can't stand it first."

Only then did Mrs. Wang understand that Concubine Xi might not be the real culprit, but the House of Internal Affairs had tried for many days without any results, and was forced by the emperor. It happened that Concubine Xi, who had a bad heart, died violently in the Internal Punishment Court. The two things were mixed together, and it became Concubine Xi died in fear of crime, and it happened to be discovered that Concubine Xi had a cousin who was one of the concubines of King Qin, so the connection became an excellent motive.

Only then did Mrs. Wang feel fearful, and she stopped pestering Yuan Chun to complain to the emperor and sued King Qin to release Jia Baoyu.

Here, Jia Huan was also discussing this matter with the King of Qin. Jia Huan said: "I don't think this is right. If it's really your concubine who wants to poison the princess, why doesn't she do it when she is in the palace, and insists on delaying irrelevant things?" Concubine Xi going into the water?"

Qi Qian also felt that there was something suspicious about it, so he frowned and remained silent.

Jia Huan stroked his chin and said, "It feels like the idiots in the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't find the culprit, so they just made two unlucky guys to top the tank!"

Qi Qian said: "Forget it, great detective! The whole family has been beheaded, what are you talking about! That's the result."

Jia Huan was very dissatisfied and said: "It's like a bear killed someone and fled into the woods. The emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take the bear, but the rice buckets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't hold the bear, so they got a rabbit. The rabbit was beaten half to death, and finally the rabbit yelled 'Stop hitting, stop hitting, I am a bear!'”

Jia Huan remembered something again and said, "By the way, my brother, he should have been frustrated enough, let him out."

Jia Huan teased the little Huangsun again, and found that the child was very smart. Although he was blind, he was very sensitive to voice. After Jia Huan came a few times, he could distinguish Jia Huan's voice. Sometimes he would turn his head to listen carefully, and when Jia Huan put his finger next to his hand, he would hold it tightly.

Jia Huan said: "Oh, by the way, I'm getting the medicine for the baby's eyes, but it's a bit troublesome. It won't be cured all at once. There is a gradual process, and it will be cured when it is about one year old." It's probably like the recovery process of high myopia, but it's better to see blurry than nothing at all.

Qi Qian came over and put his arms around Jia Huan's waist, lowered his head, leaned his face on his shoulder affectionately, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Jia Huan turned back and smiled and said, "That's not hard work, and at the same time, I also found a herb in it that can help people to memorize, so I made a few pills for myself, and now—haha, Four Books and Five Classics , recite it backwards!"

Qi Qian smiled and said, "Then this year's champion in the palace examination must be my Huan'er? Haha, wait and see."

Here, the eldest grandson Qipei also breathed a sigh of relief as the dust of Princess Qin's murder settled, and eagerly prepared to come out for activities.

Of course, the first important thing is to check and accept the results of the victory and hook up with Qi Qian.

However, Qi Pei was a little confused. On that day, in front of the emperor, the emperor's grandma, and Qi Pei's father, Qi Qian mercilessly reprimanded him, and it didn't seem like he had any affection. What should I do if he is still upset and says some merciless words that make people feel uncomfortable?

It happened that when Qi Pei got up early to pay his respects to Grandma Huangzu, Grandma Huangzu was reading with a big box.

Qi Pei went over to have a look, and it turned out to be a whole box of longevity locks, all of which were red gold collars or chains, and the gold locks in the middle were inlaid with precious gems such as sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and opals.

Qi Pei guessed that it was for Qi Qian's blind young son, and felt very disdainful, and felt that the emperor's grandma was really eccentric, such a good gem, all made of longevity locks, why didn't he want to leave two pieces for his eldest grandson? Mounted on a hat for decoration?

Qi Pei smiled and said, "Yo, Grandma Grandma's treasures are all for my little cousin, why are there so many?"

The empress dowager smiled and said, "Pei'er, don't be jealous. I just thought that the child was pitiful. He was born without a mother, and his eyes were not good, so I loved him a little bit more. It just so happened that these gems were formerly For the filial piety of the prince of the Xi Dynasty, I asked someone to inlay this gold collar and gold padlock, and hang it on the child so that I can pray for him."

With a bright smile on his face, Qi Pei said, "Where can I get such a good thing from my little cousin? Speaking of which, I just happened to want to visit my little cousin today, and I happened to talk to my little uncle, so I brought along a handbag." Grandma take it there."

If you go there, you can say that you are going to give the gift of the emperor's grandma, or you can say that you are going to visit the little cousin. Well, this is a good way of saying it.

The Empress Dowager did not doubt that she had it, and she really handed over the whole box of longevity locks to Qi Pei.

Who knew that when he arrived at Prince Qin's mansion, Qi Pei was stopped and not allowed to enter, saying that King Qin took the little emperor's grandson for a lunch break, and strictly ordered no one to disturb him.Qi Pei scolded the chief official of Prince Qin's mansion, and said: "Stupid thing! Even I dare to stop! Besides, I brought something that my ancestors gave to my little cousin!"

That Changshi went in again to pass on a message, but came out and said: "The prince said that he is very upset today and doesn't want to see guests. In addition, the little emperor's grandson is still sleeping at this time, so it is not suitable for people to visit. Please be considerate of your highness. If your highness I came here to give the empress dowager something, so please leave the things behind, the prince will kowtow to the empress dowager next time he enters the palace."

Qi Pei rushed over excitedly, and was rejected by the boss. Feeling that he lost all face, he was so angry that he only gave Chang Shi a gold necklace inlaid with diamonds, which seemed to be the most valuable, and left angrily.

Qi Pei walked halfway, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly he remembered what happened a while ago, frowned, and shouted to the driver outside the carriage: "Stop!"

The carriage stopped, Qi Pei thought for a moment, made up his mind, and said, "Go to Ningrong Street, Rongguo Mansion!"
