The Opening of the Red Chamber

After receiving Qin Keqing, Lin Fan's journey along the way naturally accelerated.

During the journey, Qin Keqing was full of doubts in her heart, thinking about where Lin Fan was going to take her.But every time she wanted to ask a question, seeing Lin Fan's eyes that made her feel a little terrified, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.The uncle driving the car rarely took the initiative to remind Lin Fan on the day of departure from Gaoyi, to be especially careful along the way.

There are hints in these words, and when Lin Fan heard it, his heart naturally became clear.Qin Keqing, on the other hand, has never traveled far before, and has suffered from pseudo-illness for such a long time, so she is dying, and naturally she can't keep up with her thinking.After a long interval, when I came back to my senses, I naturally understood what I was talking about.

In late August, the carriage bumped all the way and finally left the territory of Shandong.

Lin Fan did not take a boat on this journey, but a horse-drawn carriage, and all the roads were official.To Lin Fan's surprise, when she was waiting day and night for assassins to come to her door, no one came.Along the way, I was a little nervous, which greatly reduced the mood of watching the scenery.

However, what Lin Fan didn't know on the trip was that something really happened in Beijing.

In the 25th year of Jianyuan, the 26th day of the eighth lunar month.

This morning, the long-sick sage seemed to have returned to his former glory, and summoned his elder sister, His Royal Highness the Princess, into the palace early in the morning. The two were discussing matters in the study, and there was a fierce quarrel in the middle.After that night, the saint died at Haishi.The eldest princess died suddenly and suddenly less than an hour after the saint passed away.

This happened so strangely, the saint passed away after a long illness, everyone understood this.But Her Royal Highness's body has always been strong and well-maintained. This sudden sudden death is a naked indication that there is something inside.There is no paper to wrap fire in the world, so of course someone knows the inside story.The person who knew the inside story was naturally the chief eunuch who was guarding outside the saint's study that day.

However, the head eunuch immediately took poison and committed suicide the next day after learning of the saint's death, without giving anyone an excuse to torture him.However, things will always show their feet, because they were intimidated by too many royal secrets during the day, and when they were resting in the middle of the night, this inexplicable inside story was revealed.Piansheng was heard by the little eunuch who came to serve him again. This was something that Lin Fan and the Seventh Prince only learned about after a long time.

The inside story of this matter is very simple, not complicated, but it is the most naked confession of people's hearts.

The sage has chosen an heir, but this heir has many shortcomings. In his eyes, he is still unable to compete with his own sister.The sage is even more aware that if his sister is not eliminated, the chosen heir will not be able to secure his seat at all.Therefore, the eldest princess was summoned into the palace, and the lives of the eldest princess' husband and child and the seventh prince Shui Junhui were threatened in the study to force the eldest princess to drink alcohol mixed with alcohol.

After the death of the sage, followed by the sudden death of the Eldest Princess, the families of the nobles in Beijing were in an uproar when they heard the news.

Fortunately, before the saint passed away, he had already moved out his will and announced to the world his chosen successor.The golden throne was about to be replaced, and in an instant, there was another turmoil in the elite circle in central Beijing.

At that time, Lin Fan and his party, who were still on the official road, naturally would not know about it.

The old sage had passed away, and the news that the new prince was about to ascend the throne spread quickly.

Among them, the happiest one was Jia Zhengyifang who was separated.

When Jia Zheng and his wife, who lived on a street behind the General's Mansion, heard the news, they were in high spirits because their eldest daughter, Yuan Chun, was about to enter the palace and become a concubine.Such a good thing made Mrs. Wang, who had been suffocated with frustration, finally feel elated in an instant, and her breathing was smooth.Now she can't wait to go to the eldest room immediately and tell Jia Mu this old lady, and let the old lady know that it is their second room who will go to the head again in the end.What is even more greedy is that he still wants to use this matter to return to Rongguo Mansion.

At this time in the General's Mansion, Jia Amnesty was busy with things.

Because when Lin Fan left Beijing, he left a letter for Jia She. In addition to telling Jia She that she had quietly gone to Yangzhou, the letter also told her that in late August, he would stay in Yangzhou. "Lin Fan" from the General's Mansion was sent back to Yangzhou to visit his widowed father in Yangzhou.This matter is very important and must be done properly.

Therefore, when the whole capital was busy discussing the change of power, Jia She of the General's Mansion, his wife and the whole family were packing big and small bags for the niece to visit relatives.

As for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, they came here specially to tell Jia's mother that Yuanchun was going to be a concubine, and the old lady nodded her head to show she knew.Mrs. Wang's behavior made Madam Wang very uncomfortable. For a while, she wondered whether the old lady was still angry about her misappropriation of property when she was the housekeeper. Therefore, Mrs. Wang said a lot of things in front of Mrs. Jia Finally, Mother Jia waved her hand impatiently, signaling that she could leave after she finished speaking, and don't bother her to rest.Mrs. Wang hated Mrs. Jia's attitude of driving people away, but no matter how much she hated, she couldn't do anything to an elder, so she could only leave the general's mansion full of anger.

It's normal for Mother Jia to have such a reaction. Don't forget, Mother Jia has been drugged and controlled by the eldest princess's people since a long time ago.Now that she was able to sit up and talk, it was a special kindness.Not to mention the death of the eldest princess, as long as there is no one who orders these chess pieces, Mother Jia will probably have to live with the symptoms of 'senile dementia' until Mother Jia dies naturally.

Of course, Jia Amnesty was going to send his niece back to Yangzhou to visit relatives. Naturally, he couldn't hide it from the fourth child, but he was too busy now. He had to deal with the former prince's subordinates, and he also had to guard against the actions of the fifth and seventh children. Power, eradicating dissidents, simply has no time to be distracted to manage this matter.It was precisely because of his lack of time to be distracted that Lin Fan's actions could go smoothly in the near future.

The news in Beijing spread quickly, and the fourth prince had already chosen the day of enthronement.

The driver who was driving the car had received the news from the pigeon, which really made Lin Fan sleepless for several days.

But Lin Fan, who received the news of the eldest princess's death, said that it was not a good day. She never thought that the eldest princess would "die" so quickly in the battlefield without gunpowder smoke.But the task left by Her Royal Highness has not been completed, and she has to continue.She wanted to send Qin Keqing to a reliable place in the south of the Yangtze River for resettlement, and she had to go back to her father to discuss this shit as soon as possible.Similarly, this matter also shocked Lin Fan, especially the eldest princess.When Lin Fan asked the guard if he wanted to return to Beijing after reading the news, Lin Fan remembered the guard's answer even more.The guard said: Even though Her Royal Highness is dead, the chess game she arranged is still going on, and he only needs to carry out his mission.

Lin Fan couldn't figure out what was going on in the mind of the person standing at such a high position.What she can see may only be a small part of the whole chess game.

After leaving Shandong Province and arriving in Xuzhou Prefecture, their itinerary changed to taking a boat.

From the perspective of the canal, the scene in autumn is extremely busy.Ships of all sizes are constantly traveling on the river, carrying goods back and forth from north to south.After smelling the damp water smell in the air, Lin Fan's anxiety hidden in his heart receded a bit.

After all, Qin Keqing is the pampered aunt in the deep house compound, unlike Lin Fan who has cheated to modify her body, and Xueyan's good spirit, but after getting on the boat, she became seasick and vomited violently.Lin Fan stayed in the cabin and talked with her.

Qin Keqing's seniority is a generation lower than Lin Fan's. According to her title, Lin Fan has been promoted to Qin Keqing's cousin.Therefore, Qin Keqing made Lin Fan lose her merits by calling her aunt, and she had to correct her title again: "Don't call me aunt, I am obviously a little girl, but calling you like this makes me old for no reason." It feels like I’m in my dozen years.” Sitting by the window, listening to the sound of paddles beating against the water, she said with a faint smile, “You call me Xiaolin, but I still call you sister. There are too many ears on the road. , I can’t guarantee that there will be some accidents.”

When he was about to leave Shandong, Lin Fan took a suitable opportunity and told Qin Keqing about the matter.This report includes all aspects, Qin Keqing's identity, her life experience, the people who used her, and those bad things that happened in Doufengxuan.After Qin Keqing listened, she was as if she had lost her soul, and it took a few days for her to return to normal.Seeing that she had returned to normal, Lin Fan gave an overview of where he was going to take her, and told her that it was arranged by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.But before Qin Keqing went to thank her, the princess disappeared.

Listening to Lin Fan's words, Qin Keqing, who was dizzy from vomiting, smiled helplessly on the bed, and Lin Fan continued: "Get well soon, we will separate when we arrive at Huai'an Mansion. The uncle will Take you to a new place to live, and you can take good care of your body and start a new life. Don’t think about the rest, it’s all in the past.” Lin Fan, she and Qin Keqing will not go the same way, this matter is the secret guard’s makeup Cheng's uncle told me.He will come to Yangzhou Mansion to look for Qin Keqing after he has settled down.

"It's just a matter of one sentence, but it's not easy to forget." Qin Keqing looked weakly at the bed curtain, and said softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of my body within a year or two."

"I know, after he gave you abortion pills, you couldn't get sick anymore." When Lin Fan met Qin Keqing, the non-human colleague in his mind used high-tech means to do it for Qin Keqing. A whole body scan, so she is very clear about Qin Keqing's physical problems. "Don't be in a hurry to come see me after you've settled down. It's not too late to come see me after you've taken care of yourself. The most important thing for you now is to live well. As for the people of the Qin family, you don't have to worry, naturally Someone will arrange it."

"Well, I know. It's just that I'm worried, I just disappeared, will it happen over there?"

"Don't worry, if we can get you out, we will take care of the affairs over there." Lin Fan comforted her and said, "The chaos in Beijing and the old and new forces are changing, so no one cares about what is in the coffin. Not you!"
