[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Lin Daiyu drank the medicine and tossed and turned on the bed without falling asleep. She didn't force herself to sleep until she made up her mind.

Zicuckoo was worried about her, so she didn't dare to look at her.She wanted to comfort her, but she was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not be able to sleep even more if disturbed, so she gave up.I only listened to the sound with my ears upright, and only heard that there was no sound inside for a long time, so my heart felt more at ease.

When I got up the next day, I heard Lin Daiyu's order early in the morning: "Find out my county lord's clothes and iron them, and ask Wu Hui to come in. I want to go to the palace to pay my respects to the queen."

Zijuan was shocked: "Please enter the palace? But last night the doctor ordered you to have a good rest. It is not easy to walk in the palace and kneel three times!"

Lin Daiyu smiled: "I don't feel at ease at home. Now Baoyu can't see her eldest sister. Baocong is there day by day, and I always feel that the situation is not good. Why don't I go to the palace to find out the situation, and the worst is to ask for grace." , go see Bao Cong and see if he is alright."

Zicuckoo thought about it too, but she was still worried about Lin Daiyu's body.

Over the years, she was used to worrying, and every day she was afraid that Lin Daiyu's body would be weak and her mind would be heavy.Although she is already healthier and tougher than before, she always feels that Lin Daiyu is still the same as when she first came to Beijing, she was thin and small, coughed when the wind blew, and fell ill when it rained.

What's more, now, she has a person in her stomach, which is more important than a person.

Yes, Lin Daiyu is not sick, but pregnant.On this bone.

Knowing at the beginning, everyone was naturally happy, and Lin Daiyu couldn't wait to tell Bao Cong, but Bao Cong was in prison, and when reality poured cold water on her, she became sober and calm.

Rubbing her stomach, Lin Daiyu was worried and flustered in her heart, but her face became calmer.

I don't know if being a mother is strong, she doesn't want to scare her child.

"It's okay, your father will return safely, and I will be fine too."

As soon as Wu Hui came in, she saw Lin Daiyu rubbing her belly and smiling lightly.He froze for a moment, thinking that Lin Daiyu would shed tears on her face, and she would be in love with each other, haggard all over.

But no, the man was sitting in front of the dressing table, bending his neck slightly, with a gentle smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he could vaguely see those eyes, which were not tearful or decadent, but had an indescribable expression on the contrary.

The beauty of a beauty is the same as that of a fairy.Wu Hui stood there in a daze, not daring to recognize it for a while, that was the mistress he had watched grow up and served for a long time!

Seeing Wu Hui standing at the door in a daze, Zijuan hurried over to tease him, "What are you doing? Why don't you salute grandma?"

Wu Hui was not allowed to enter the house, he just stood at the door and answered.

Seeing Zijuan, he came back to his senses, resumed his usual respectful appearance, and saluted Lin Daiyu: "Grandma, what's your order?"

Lin Daiyu raised her head and said softly: "You pass my post into the palace, and I want to pay my respects to the queen. If the queen summons me, please come back to me immediately."

Princesses, county lords, court wives who want to enter the palace to pay their respects, they always hand over the post first, and then wait for the palace to summon them.The empress is the mother of the world, and she manages a lot of things every day. It is impossible to just sit and wait for others to pay her respects every day.

Lin Daiyu has already made preparations, the queen may not see her, or it may take a long time to summon her.After all, Baocong can't meet each other, and Baoyu can't see Yuanchun.

The members of their Jia family were all isolated.

But we still have to walk this path and give it a try.

Perhaps it was because Lin Daiyu's expression was too calm, and the tone of her instructions was too ordinary, Wu Hui was not surprised. She just felt that Lin Daiyu, who had never been in the palace except for the New Year, suddenly said that she wanted to enter the palace to pay her respects, which was a rare and normal thing.

So, he responded as if nothing had happened, went out and took Lin Daiyu's name card, and went straight to the palace gate.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu couldn't be stopped, Zijuan persuaded her: "It's better to invite the second grandma to go with her. When she went to Beijing, she heard that she invited a female gentleman to learn court affairs. With her by her side, she can take care of you."

When it comes to dealing with people and being considerate in doing things, Baochai is naturally more comfortable than Lin Daiyu, and she can also let go of her dignity.Now, if you want to go to the palace to ask for grace, it seems easier if you have Baochai by your side to talk about it.

However, Lin Daiyu thought about it, then shook her head: "No."

This time she was going to bring things into the palace, if Baochai was by her side, those things would not be useful.

Bao Cong went to see Emperor Zhao after seeing Lin Daiyu.

Emperor Zhao sent him to prison, but he didn't know what his attitude was.But in the middle of the night, Bao Cong also knew that he might not see any useful information.

After patrolling around the palace, he finally found Emperor Zhao.

He rests at Qiaoyan's residence tonight.

It wasn't that Baocong went to Qiaoyan's place to look for it on purpose, but he searched around and couldn't find anyone, and went to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to be there.

But things are a little weird.

Emperor Zhao was sleeping on the bed, but Qiaoyan was kneeling on the ground.No matter how you look at it, it looks like you have been punished.

There is not a single servant around, and the guards outside the house are not court ladies and eunuchs, but two guards...

Qiaoyan's residence has also changed a lot.The gorgeous and warm decorations in the past are all gone, except for the necessities of life, there are a few abrupt jade ornaments.

Bao Cong looked familiar, took a closer look, and was startled, didn't he engrave those pieces and give them to Yuan Chun before?

It's not surprising that Yuanchun gave it to Qiaoyan, but it's obviously not right to place it coldly in the room at the moment.

Thinking of someone trying to capture and rape Qiaoyan and Baoyu before, a guess flashed in Baocong's mind: Emperor Zhao couldn't be... think Qiaoyan had an affair with him, right?

But he and Qiaoyan are innocent, even if Qiaoyan lived in Jia's house in the past, they never talked a few times!

But Bao Cong knew in his heart that if Emperor Zhao had suspicions, why would they need to prove whether they had an affair?Nor can they justify themselves.

So Qiaoyan was punished to kneel in the middle of the night, he was framed in court, Emperor Zhao put him in prison without asking any more questions, and no one else was allowed to visit him...

The more he guessed, the more Bao Cong couldn't believe it.But it happens that all the possibilities converge here.Everything can be figured out in series.

What should the emperor do if he suspects that his courtier has an affair with his concubine?

This kind of cuckold thing is kept secret, and in many novels, it's all about a glass of poisoned wine behind the scenes!

Thinking of this incident, Bao Cong's back suddenly felt chilly, and a sharp pain came out of his neck.

I go!Emperor Zhao would not want to poison him to death, would he?Or do you want to take the opportunity to accuse him of crimes and behead him?

Startled, Bao Cong felt more and more that his life was in danger!

The reason why a foolish king is a foolish king is because he does things for others to avenge his personal revenge, and he only follows his heart without asking right or wrong.If Emperor Zhao wants to be stupid, then he, a little courtier, can't be cut off... What's his job?Teach others to draw maps!

His ability to draw maps is unparalleled in the world!In today's world, there is no one else who draws more exquisite and accurate pictures than him.When marching and fighting, and arranging troops, the map is the most important thing.

But the problem is!

He is now teaching others to draw maps!

Although the students have only scratched the surface, they already have a general understanding of the basic methods.Moreover, he compiled a set of very detailed textbooks, which clearly and carefully wrote down all the drawing methods and key points.Talented students, as long as they study the textbooks and practice more, they will be able to draw very accurate and comprehensive maps in time!

So, he asked why he had to work so hard to compile textbooks and cut off his own way of life?

Bao Cong scratched at his hair, only to feel the pain in his head!

In the middle of the second night, he went to Qiaoyan's residence for a few more glances. Combined with Emperor Zhao's eccentric words and Qiaoyan's behavior of serving tea and water and holding a urinal, Bao Cong became more certain of his guess.

Corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, plotting rebellion... King Zhongshun impeached him, if he was used by Emperor Zhao, it would be a piece of cake to kill him.If it is hard to say, the family members and married women like Yuanchun Yingchun Tanchun will be implicated.

After Rongguo's mansion was raided, several members of the Jia family managed to escape from death. How could the family be folded in because of Emperor Zhao's suspicion?

Thinking about Lin Daiyu again, Bao Cong didn't sleep anymore, staring at him all night, looking everywhere for Emperor Zhao and King Zhongshun.If you don't find it in the capital, look outside the capital; if you can't find it outside the capital, go a hundred miles further and continue looking!

Bao Cong is in a hurry in the prison, and he doesn't know that Lin Daiyu has gone to the palace to meet the queen.

Lin Daiyu didn't expect that the queen would be free to see her so soon, and she had a very kind attitude, offering her tea and snacks, and intimately speaking some poems and songs.

In short, there is no mention of Bao Cong.

The queen bypassed it and didn't mention it. Naturally, she had a plan in her heart. She wanted to suppress the Jia family's arrogance, and then she could make her own request logically.

Bao Cong and Yuan Chun refused her olive branch many times, but she couldn't believe it. This time, the Jia family could still refuse to form an alliance with her?

Thinking about the queen, I also feel very fascinated. What's wrong with forming an alliance with her?Yuanchun didn't have a son, and the prince she adopted became the emperor, which was only good for Yuanchun and the Jia family, and I don't know why they didn't know what to do!

The queen laughed at Yan Yan on the face, but she was already thinking about it behind her back, and she was waiting for Lin Daiyu to take the bait.

Lin Daiyu seemed to live up to expectations, and she couldn't help but said: "Empress Empress, apart from greeting you today, I have one more thing to say." She waved her hand, and Zijuan hurried forward with her things in her hands.

"This is my father's relic. It contains the imperial decree written by His Majesty himself when he went to Yangzhou to take office, and a piece of "Later Master's List" copied by my father. The minister's wife originally wanted to enshrine the imperial decree at home for future generations to pay homage to. Follow the heart of my ancestors who are loyal to the emperor and love the people."

"It's just that this "Later Master's List" is a copy of my father's posthumous work before his death. It is for His Majesty. It shows the heart of loyal ministers and the joy of teachers and friends. The ministers dare not disobey my father's last words, so I brought them into the palace today. present."

Lin Daiyu said, Zijuan and the palace maid took out the imperial decree and silk scroll from the brocade box, opened them, and slowly displayed them in front of the queen.

The friendship between Lin Ruhai and Emperor Zhao can't be finished for seven days and seven nights.From politics to poetry, to calligraphy and painting, the two are both teachers and friends in all aspects.

Although Emperor Zhao didn't say it, when Lin Ruhai was still alive, everyone knew that he was Emperor Zhao's most valued courtier.Otherwise, can you go to Yangzhou to be a patrolling salt censor?Do it for more than ten years?

To control the salt is to control the money bag of the world!Everyone stared at it with red eyes, wishing they could pounce on it and take a bite and get a piece of it.

Therefore, in addition to being the emperor's confidant, the inspector of salt and censor must be a figure who is wise, equal to the powerful, and able to make friends with the common people.

After Lin Ruhai passed away, Emperor Zhao sometimes lamented that there was no Lin Ruhai in the world who could call the Jiangnan Salt Farm Ansheng for more than ten years.

Lin Daiyu recalled her father's appearance before he was alive, and felt a little sad and missed, and her eyes were red involuntarily.But the queen looked at the imperial decree and the copied scroll, her face turned green!

She finally waited for this opportunity that the Jia family had to bow their heads, but she never expected such a thing to appear!

Just a courtier, death is death!After all these years, he still jumped out to make trouble!

The queen was very angry, but she was like a mirror, knowing that she must never say a bad word, and she must not embarrass Lin Daiyu.

"It's really rare for your father to show such kindness. I will definitely pass these on to the Holy Majesty. Presumably, the Holy Majesty will be very happy to see it."

Whether Emperor Zhao was happy or not, the queen didn't know, and she didn't want to know.At this moment, she found Lin Daiyu very unpleasant and wanted to drive her out.

So when Lin Daiyu mentioned that she was going to visit Bao Cong in prison and let him listen to Lin Ruhai's legacy of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the queen agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

In another place, Baoyu is getting angry about Baocong.

After a while, I asked: "Is there any news from Qingwen Qingshuang? Can you see the eldest sister?"

After a while, he asked again: "Do you have any news from the King of Beijing, the Feng family, the Wang family, and the Shi family?"

After a while, I asked again: "Have you asked in the prison? Still can't visit? Have you taken care of everything?"

Mingyan ran in and out to ask for news, was sweating profusely and panting, and felt that she had never met such a difficult Baoyu in her life!

Tada Tat, ran in again, wiped the big man with Mingyan, and said without panting: "Human, man is here!"

Baoyu immediately pricked up his ears: "Quickly tell me, who's the news? How do you say it?"

Mingyan: "Yes, it's Xue..." Before he finished speaking, Baoyu interrupted him and said, "What are you learning? You can speak quickly!"

"It's Uncle Xue!"

As soon as the words fell, Baoyu heard laughter outside. Xue Pan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, strode in with his waist down, and said in a loud voice, "Baoyu, you miss me so much!"
