The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

The rain gradually stopped in the second half of the night, and when the sky turned a little white, Daiyu looked out the window, and saw the flowers and leaves that had been ravaged by the wind and rain all over the ground, showing a mess.

"I don't know what's going on with Shizi..." Before Danju finished speaking, Lin Ji barged in.

"Sister," Lin Ji's tone was hurried and trembling with depression, "Someone asked to see me outside the door, saying that my brother-in-law was seriously injured in the palace and wanted to see my sister..."

Daiyu staggered when she heard Lin Ji's words, but fortunately Danju and Lin Qi supported her, and asked sharply, "What did you say?"

Seeing that Daiyu was frightened, Lin Ji spoke quickly and suppressed his voice, and said again: "Sister, don't worry, I heard from Brother Han that this news is probably false, and it's just to trick you out, so that you must not be fooled." .”

Daiyu took a deep breath and calmed down, but subconsciously bit her lower lip.She tried her best to recall what Zhuang Yu said yesterday when she left, and desperately told herself to "calm down, calm down". Zhuang Yu had already expected this situation, and he had already taken precautions, so he would be fine.But in the depths of Daiyu's heart, she couldn't help but think: Swords have no eyes, could Zhuang Yu really be hurt?Worried while trying to deny it, Daiyu's lips and teeth had a faint smell of blood.

Seeing Daiyu like this, Lin Ji couldn't bear it, but just like what Han Linluo said, he is not qualified to handle this matter, no matter whether the news is true or not, he must tell Daiyu.

Daiyu calmed down faster than Lin Ji imagined. She lightly licked her bitten lips, looked around at the maidservant who heard the movement, and forced herself to calmly say: "Who is here?"

"It's Eunuch Jiang next to Eunuch Chen." Lin Ji said, "Eunuch Jiang and his party only consist of a dozen or so people."

Eunuch Chen was the chief eunuch of Emperor Chunyou, and Eunuch Jiang was one of Eunuch Chen's apprentices.

Daiyu's eyes flashed, and she said, "Let guards Han and the others protect you and let Eunuch Jiang in."

Seeing that Daiyu had stabilized her mind, Lin Ji felt relieved, nodded and left.

Accompanied by Lin Ji, Daiyu met this Eunuch Jiang in the main hall of the Lin family, while the other people brought by Eunuch Jiang were left in the outer courtyard.

Eunuch Jiang is about 30 years old now, because he is a eunuch, so his face is white and beardless, a little fat, and he looks amiable.

Eunuch Jiang had seen the ceremony for Daiyu, and he looked very anxious, saying: "My Concubine, Yu Shizi is in the palace. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured in order to protect the emperor. Now the imperial doctors are helpless. Eunuch Mo I have already gone to Prince Chengke’s mansion to invite the concubine into the palace, and the servant was sent to pick up the concubine, so please hurry up and go with the concubine.”

Daiyu snorted coldly, and said, "Grandpa Jiang must have made a mistake, right? Brother Yu and my father were both trapped in Hunan, how could they appear in the palace again? Besides, the palace is heavily guarded, and brother Yu wants to protect the emperor. Injured, this...is too unbelievable."

Eunuch Jiang saw that Daiyu was not in a hurry at all, and he felt a little guilty and uneasy, he said: "The concubine does not know, tonight the loyal prince plotted against the emperor and the emperor, unexpectedly, the prince Yu had expected it, set up Ambush and captured Prince Zhongshan and others in one fell swoop, but did not investigate for a while. At this moment, someone fired a hidden weapon at the emperor. Prince Yu couldn't react in time, so he used his body to save the emperor. Unfortunately, the hidden weapon shot Prince Yu in the chest. Is there any way to save Princess Keqin?"

Eunuch Jiang's words sounded reasonable. Zhuang Yu had indeed expected it, but no one could guarantee that the accident would not happen.Daiyu's heart was also shaken for a moment, but she still chose to believe in Zhuang Yu.Because she knew that if what Eunuch Jiang said was false, she would be tricked out of the house and fall into the hands of others, and she would become a chess piece to restrain Zhuang Yu. Can't take that risk.

Daiyu held back her worries, and sat on the chair calmly, unmoved, but her palms hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but turn red.Daiyu flicked the hem of her clothes, and glanced at Eunuch Jiang indifferently, but the eyes were so real that Eunuch Jiang felt a little panicked.

Daiyu lightly opened her lips, and said, "Eunuch Jiang wants me to believe that Brother Yu, who was supposed to be far away in Hunan, suddenly appeared in the palace. There must be some evidence, right? There is also the matter of Uncle Zhongshan's rebellion. With your red mouth and white teeth , If you want me to believe it, it would be too underestimating me."

Eunuch Jiang’s heart skipped a beat, but Prince Zhongshan’s rebellion was true, so he was a little confident, not to mention that Eunuch Jiang was also an old man who had been in the palace for 20 years, so he wouldn’t be so She was easily fooled by a teenage girl, and immediately she stomped her feet and clapped her hands and said, "Oh, concubine, how could this servant lie to you? If it wasn't for the emperor's order, why would this servant leave the palace at this time?" What?" As he spoke, he turned around in a hurry, his eyes were red and couldn't help weeping, with an appearance of loyalty to the Lord.

The uneasiness in Daiyu's heart is growing, but no matter what, she has to keep herself steady: "Brother Yu's letter just arrived yesterday, and the letter said that it is absolutely impossible for him to return to Beijing at this time. What you say is simply untenable, how can I trust you?"

Eunuch Jiang's heart jumped wildly, and he asked: "What the concubine said is true? Is it true that the son has not returned to Beijing?"

Daiyu seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly showed a wary look: "Why do you ask this? Didn't you just say that brother Yu is in the palace?"

Eunuch Jiang rolled his eyes, and immediately said in a hurry: "Oh no, is that Prince Yu in the palace a fake? Could it be that he is pretending to be unfavorable to the emperor at this moment? No, the servant must rush back to the palace immediately to report to the emperor." After speaking, he bowed his hands and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Daiyu stopped him, "You must have something in mind when you pass on fake news. I will never let you leave so easily. Ji'er, bring someone to stop them."

Lin Ji quickly responded, "Yes, sister."

Eunuch Jiang exited the hall, but was stopped by Zhang Wu and Li Liu and detained.

Eunuch Jiang struggled and said, "What is the concubine Shizi doing? Let go of the servant quickly, the servant has to report back to the palace, if there is a delay, the emperor will be in danger, the slave's head will be lost, and the concubine Shizi will also bear the responsibility."

Daiyu seemed to be intimidated, looked at Lin Ji, hesitated back and forth, finally gritted her teeth, and said: "I can let you go back to report the letter alone, but all the people you brought must stay and be kept as Witnesses. When it is daylight, I will take them into the palace to seek proof from the emperor, if you lied, just wait to be dealt with by the emperor."

Eunuch Jiang agreed again and again.

Eunuch Jiang left the Lin family, and all the people he brought with him were knocked down and tied up by Han Linluo and others.

Eunuch Jiang did not report back to the palace as he said, but entered an inconspicuous courtyard in a secretive way.

The person Eunuch Jiang met was actually Prince Zhongmin Zhuang Xi.Zhuang Xi, who has always been indifferent to fame and wealth, unexpectedly showed a trace of anxiety and hesitation in his eyes at this moment.

Contrary to the panic and eagerness that Eunuch Jiang showed in front of Daiyu, he calmly reported to Zhuang Xihui: "The servant has taken the words of the prince and concubine sincerely. The letter from the son of Yu was only delivered to the concubine yesterday. Although the slave does not know the truth Prince Ke’s mansion is the way to deliver letters, but he knows that it’s not too slow to expedite the [-] miles, so it’s absolutely impossible for Prince Yu to return to Beijing today, let alone set up a trap for Prince Zhongshan to sneak in. "

Zhuang Xi caressed the teacup in his hand, the water in the cup was already completely cold, the reason why he chose to let Eunuch Jiang go to the Lin Mansion to coax Daiyu instead of going to Prince Chengke's Mansion to find Qiu Qingyu, was naturally because he thought it was easy for Daiyu to be young. Concealing and deceiving, and Eunuch Jiang can be regarded as a scheming figure, so Zhuang Xi does not doubt Eunuch Jiang's judgment.
