Little Lady of the Red Chamber

In less than half a year, the two emperors died one after another. Even though the last emperor was in his sixtieth year and his body was not considered healthy, it was normal, but the emperor passed away in his prime, and people in Beijing were fluctuating. There were private rumors that the royal family was immoral. , I do not know how there is a tendency to intensify.The people below did not dare to hide it, so they reported it immediately, and sent it all the way to the young Xinjun.Prince, the current Emperor Tu Mingjue naturally has no way to deal with such a thing. "What do you think, Uncle Ming?" The young Xinjun asked Tu Yuanrui beside him.

There are all the cabinet members in Wenyuan Pavilion, the new monarch is the first one, and the regent Mingwang is slightly lower and side by side with the new monarch.Naturally, there is no problem with this seat, as it was before.But there are no fools in Wenyuan Pavilion. Compared with before, the new monarch's attitude towards King Ming has undergone a subtle change.No one can say what this change is for.But the new monarch is still young, and there are still seven or eight years before he will be in power. What to do in the middle, they, the cabinet, have to weigh it.

"It's just some unscrupulous thieves who are disturbing people's hearts. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This matter will be handled by the minister. It won't take a few days for the rumors to dissipate." , but everyone only felt chills in their hearts.Su Xun frowned, "People's words are scary, if you use heavy methods, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"Your Majesty Su is worrying too much. How did this king ever say that we must use heavy methods!"

"Your Highness, it's not..." Su Xun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly changed his mouth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, please forgive me, Your Highness." He bowed his hands to Tu Yuanrui in apology.He is the chief assistant of the cabinet, even the emperor should give some face. Tu Yuanrui accepted his gift, and said with a smile to the new king, "Lord Su acts prudently, and he is the most important thing for the late emperor. This time, he is too worried. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it. "

Xinjun smiled and glanced at Su Xun before saying, "Uncle Wang's words, I have written them down."

Outsiders don't know about Wenyuan Pavilion, Su Xun's complexion is not good after leaving the palace, if not for the emperor's great actions, I'm afraid he will complain of illness and leave court.But now the late emperor is still inactive, he knows very well that if he dares to say that he will not be sick at this time, he is afraid that his family will also be affected by him.Thinking of King Ming's tone of mentioning Liu Anran with a faint smile when he was leaving the palace, Su Xun trembled, and sent his servants to take out a booklet from a hidden compartment in the study room, and threw it into the brazier without hesitation. , peace of mind.

What Su Xun didn't notice was that a shadow on the roof flew away after the fire went out.The corners of Tu Yuanrui's mouth curled up slightly after receiving the news, as expected of being the chief assistant of the two dynasties, the emperor used him, and the first emperor also used him.That's good, save him trouble.

The autumn wind blew a burst of coolness. Walking in a secluded alley in a sedan chair, he turned a few turns and entered a courtyard. The sedan chair stopped in the courtyard.It was Mu Xin who was supposed to cry in the palace to greet him.

Seeing Tu Yuanrui coming out of the sedan chair, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are not afraid of leaving the palace at this time!" Although the new monarch is young, he will not die.

Tu Yuanrui said lightly: "The crying sacrifice will be over in another hour, you go back first."

Mu Xin didn't realize it at first, but then realized that the crying ceremony was over, that is, everyone could disperse and rest.Mu Xin gritted her teeth, it's great to have a wife, and she has a fiancé!Although Tu Yuanjun hasn't responded yet, is it important?Tu Yuanrui had already given her his younger brother.

"Anyway, you are now the regent with the most power, you have the final say." After leaving these words, Mu Xin sat in Tu Yuanrui's previous sedan chair.It would be fine if he could hurry back, otherwise the mother and concubine would have to talk about her for a long time.

Mu Xin left, Tu Yuanrui entered the room, the room was very dark, the surrounding windows were nailed shut, only a faint light came in, there was only one bed in the empty room, and there was a person lying on the bed with his head turned He was looking at Tu Yuanrui at the door, dumbfounded.Seeing nothing, Tu Yuanrui walked over a few steps, "Tell me where the secret order is, and this king can spare your life."

It's a pity that the person on the bed didn't respond at all, Tu Yuanrui was not in a hurry, he reached out and grabbed the man's chin with a movement, and connected it, the man just frowned slightly in pain. "The hidden guard is already in the hands of the prince, why bother to ask where the secret order is." Bai Lan said calmly, as if the person in front of him was not an enemy who provoked his tendons.

"Although the dark guards are there, there are still death guards. Commander Bai really doesn't know?" Tu Yuanrui didn't do anything again. It's useless to torture a person who was born as a dark guard, and picking his tendons and tendons just didn't want him to run away.

There was a flash of struggle in Bai Lan's eyes, "When did King Ming find out the identity of this subordinate?" He is the commander of the hidden guards, but he has never shown himself before. He followed that time, but it shouldn't be.

"Since Commander Bai wants to know, I will tell you. I knew from the beginning." Tu Yuanrui sneered, and it was never his style to sit and wait for death.

Bai Lan was silent, and after a long time said: "The secret order is in the hands of Liu Anran." So what if he doesn't say anything, Liu Anran can't live, it doesn't matter whether he has the secret order or not.After getting the answer, Tu Yuanrui left satisfied.

"My lord!"

Bai Lan shouted, "Your Majesty has never ordered the prince's life, please take this into consideration, and don't let down your majesty's trust!"

Tu Yuanrui's footsteps did not stop, and he went out of the house and told the people outside: "Take care of him, if he wants to die, let him go." He has always kept his word, since Bai Lan recruited, he naturally spared his life, but If he seeks death by himself, it has nothing to do with him.Looking up at the sky, Tu Yuanrui frowned, it's getting late, anyway, let's go back to the palace first, if Yu'er can't see him when he comes back, he should probably be worried again.Tu Yuanrui smiled but went back to the palace directly, but he did not forget to send someone to find the secret order.

"Master, Bai Lan is the leader of the dark guards. Although we have mastered the dark guards now, wouldn't it be better if we can use them?" Tu Yuanrui's confidants carefully suggested.After all, since Bai Lan is willing to reveal the whereabouts of the secret order, she must have already become obedient, and such a person should be kept.

Tu Yuanrui glanced at his confidant lightly, "Go to the dark department to get twenty whips." His confidant was taken aback for a moment, and he only responded "Yes!" He didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and he was sure that the master really wanted Bai Lan to die.

The emperor made a grand trip, and the clan entered the palace to cry for sacrifices. Daiyu and Princess Chen were together. Fortunately, they had already experienced it once.The two stood next to each other and wiped their eyes with kerchiefs dipped in pepper from time to time.Daiyu accidentally wiped it on too much, she really burst into tears, startled Princess Chen, but she couldn't laugh or cry when she found out why, "It's just a little bit, how could you be so careless?" The two of them stood next to each other and lowered their voices the way.

While wiping her eyes with a clean veil, Daiyu said: "I just thought things would be unpredictable for a while." This was not a lie, she just found out that Mu Xin was not in the hall at any time.Now she is stupid if she doesn't know who Mu Xin is. Since Brother Rui and Princess Mu have an agreement, then if Princess Mu is not here at the moment, Brother Rui has any plans.I was so dazed that I didn't notice that my handkerchief was stained with chili peppers. It wasn't so hot that I burst into tears.

Concubine Chen wanted to laugh more and more when she heard the words, she only cared about the occasion, so she could only bear it.Finally, the crying sacrifice was over, and everyone withdrew according to their grades. Daiyu caught sight of Mu Xin and was about to go there, but Princess Chen stopped her, "What is Yu'er looking at?"

Daiyu looked again, there was no trace of Mu Xin, she just turned her head and said, "It's nothing, I just saw Princess Mu and wanted to say a few words to her."

"Where is Mu Yatou with her mother and concubine? I'm afraid I won't be free if I rush out of the palace right now. You can talk to her tomorrow. The mother and concubine are also going out of the palace. You and Rui'er are staying in the palace. Not too long after the late emperor's funeral, he will move back to the mansion."

When Concubine Chen said this, Daiyu naturally did not disagree, "When I go back, I will tell Brother Rui. I am also willing to accompany Concubine Mother."

Concubine Chen nodded in satisfaction, she still has one thing to say, her husband has been looking for the eldest son for the past few days, but Rui'er is alert, and has been avoiding seeing him through funerals and state affairs, obviously he knows why.If you want her to say, it's okay to say anything at this point, the son has his own ideas when he grows up, and their parents are completely hidden.It wasn't until the end that I realized that even if my husband said it, he still couldn't change his mind.

Daiyu didn't know this, she just thought that they were not in the mansion, and the concubine mother was a little lonely, so she said something to make Princess Chen happy.

"Princess, let's have some snacks first!" Upon returning to Jingfu Palace, Xueyan brought some snacks and asked Daiyu to put on the mat first, so that the crying ceremony lasted so long so that the princess wouldn't be hungry.Naturally, the weeping ceremony in the palace could not bring too many people, so Daiyu only brought Zijuan, leaving the snow geese to watch the house.

"Leave it for now, the lord is back." Daiyu has no appetite at the moment, so she let Xueyan put it away and only asked about Tu Yuanrui.

"My lord hasn't come back yet, do you want to send someone to ask?" Xueyan asked for instructions.

Daiyu said, "Since you haven't come back, there must be something else going on in the court. This is the palace, not the mansion. Don't mention such things in the future."

Xueyan hurriedly said, "It's because I was thinking about it for a while, and I won't do it in the future."

Daiyu was happy to be clean, and she cried and sacrificed for this day, and she couldn't bear it now. Seeing that Tu Yuanrui hadn't come back, she just ordered her to go down and take a bath first.

When Tu Yuanrui came back, Daiyu had just changed her clothes, her black hair was loose and wet.Tu Yuanrui walked behind Daiyu, took the dry cotton towel from Zijuan, and gently dried Daiyu's hair.The strength of a man is naturally different from that of a woman, even if it is relaxed, Daiyu noticed it at once. Looking at the snow goose beside her who was pursing her lips and giggling, Daiyu didn't turn her head and just let the big hand behind her wipe it carefully.
