The Red Chamber Collection

On the surface, the Lin Mansion looked calm.However, at night, there were two figures swaying outside the yard.While patrolling outdoors, they were never found.It can be seen how alert they are.Lanterns are hung around the courtyard wall.There are two guards guarding the inner courtyard from time to time.For the distribution of guards in the Lin Mansion.Outsiders don't know.Li Shiwei, Xiaocui, and Lin Yushi's father, Yu Jihai, were all in Linfu Garden.

Moreover, when building the Linfu Garden, Yang Mingyuan considered that the bandits had crossed the wall, and discussed with Daiyu about raising the courtyard wall, and Daiyu asked him to make the decision to raise it.Therefore, no matter how skilled the gangster is, if he wants to quietly enter the small garden island surrounded by water at night, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.

However, this time the person came back not to stare at Daiyu, but at Daiyu's child.This made no one think of it.And because there were many victims, people came and went, and the two of them were mixed in, and no one could see through.

This night, the two shadows had been observing for some time, and they took the opportunity to put on their masks.I had to flip over to the top of the wall and lie down on it to observe the movement.Under the dim light, I saw the two guards below patrolling.They lay on it, not even daring to breathe.After waiting for a while, I saw the two walking away.One of them said: "Quick battle and quick decision. Remember, you would rather fail to complete the task than be caught or killed, otherwise the whole family will be wiped out!"

The two jumped down and walked around the building, but they couldn't make a move.They didn't dare to make any noise, and they had to move lightly, so they could only choose to break in through the window.And when we got upstairs, we had to pry open the bolt.It was difficult. They pried open the windows of the hall, but fortunately no one noticed.He went upstairs quietly, identified the direction, and confirmed the upper room.He took out his dagger and began to pry the latch.

Qing'er is asleep.A sound was faintly heard.Opening his eyes, he was sure that the latch was moving.Scared out of my wits.Trembling, he got up, threw himself on the door, and yelled loudly. "Come on, come on, come on!"

Qing'er's cry was like a ghost's cry in the silent night sky, which made the listener's hair stand on end.The door bolt was pushed firmly.Black Shadow pushed the door open.After shaking it twice, it didn't open.

I only heard that the opposite door had opened with a creak, and a man came out.Holding a stick in hand.

Qing'er is inside the door.I heard a voice outside saying: "Run, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Who are you?" Li Xiao's voice was heard rushing towards.There was only a bang, like the sound of a stick falling to the ground.The sound of chaotic footsteps ran downstairs.Qing'er heard Li Xiao's voice again, "Someone is coming soon. There are thieves!"

The children on both sides of the second floor were awakened and began to howl.Hearing the sound of Li Xiao picking up the stick, he chased after him.Qing'er paralyzed by the door in fright.Hear the child cry.Trembling and trying to stand up, I couldn't stand up no matter what.She crawled to the bed, took the child in her arms, and sat on the floor. *Stuffed in child's mouth.The child turned away and howled.

Outside the Lin Mansion, the guards had been alarmed, and they began to shout: "Get up quickly. Catch the thief!"

These restless sounds woke Liu Qibiao from his sleep.Before he could put on his coat in time, he rushed out with a machete in his hand.He heard the biggest movement from Zijuan, and thought of the young master in his heart.Straight to the yard where the stone lived.

On the other side of the garden, although it was far away, they vaguely heard movement from the Lin residence.The well-trained guards rushed over here, shouting: "Catch the thief, there are thieves in the Lin residence."

Guard Li got up from the bed.Seeing Xiaocuilin Yu come out with her clothes on, she said, "Close the door quickly and protect Gege!"

"I'll go with you!" Xiaocui said, "If she leaves here, even if bandits come, they won't be able to enter this small island.

The two walked out quickly, instead of going through the main entrance, they jumped up to the top of the wall, saw two black shadows not far away, and ran after them.Unexpectedly, the shouts alarmed the victims, and they came out of the shed sleepily one by one.Those two black shadows didn't stop when they saw someone chasing them, and disappeared into the night in an instant.Li Shiwei and Xiaocui came to the front, there were people everywhere, they looked at each other, at a loss.The kung fu of these two people's feet is very good.

When the two came back, Yu Jihai was already at the bridge leading to the island, waiting there with his sword in hand.It can be seen that at the critical moment, Daiyu's life is more important than anything else.Xiao Cui recalled what happened in the Lin Mansion, and suddenly said, "Young Master!"

At this time, Daiyu had already followed Lin Yushi out of the house, and when she heard those two words from Xiaocui's mouth, she was out of her wits, and almost fell into the water when crossing the bridge.Guard Li left a sentence: "Protect Gege!" and disappeared into the night sky.

Guard Li came over, and the children on both sides were still crying.Seeing that there is nothing wrong, she was relieved, and said to Daiyu from afar, "Don't worry, Gege, it's all right! It's alright!"

When Daiyu came in, Liu Qibiao hurriedly greeted her: "Miss, you should call the door! This Qinger refuses to open the door anyway! I'm afraid I'm scared!"

Daiyu walked to the door and said with a trembling voice, "Qing'er, open the door, it's me!"

When Qing'er heard Daiyu's voice, she held the child and opened the door and said, "Miss!" After saying this, she burst into tears.Zijuan hurriedly put her arms around Qing'er and said to Daiyu, "Qing'er was also frightened, and refused to open the door even when I called."

Daiyu held the child in her arms, and the child was bending over, twitching!Daiyu was very annoyed in her heart, feeling that she was sorry for the child.One should not listen to their advice and put the child aside.Daiyu growled, "Move there now!"

Zicuckoo remained silent, busy packing up the child's clothes.

It was Zicuckoo's idea to keep the child here.She was afraid that the child would cry at night and disturb Daiyu, which would disturb Daiyu's life and affect Daiyu's rest, so she came up with this idea for Daiyu.If something happens to the child, Zijuan will be killed if he hits him head-on, and he can hardly absolve himself of the blame.

Daiyu looked at Zijuan, who was busy, and said, "You also move there, right now!"

Zicuckoo said: "Miss?"

"This is Ben's child! I don't know what's going on! You go there first!"

Li Xiao and his mother listened, and felt that Daiyu's words made sense.Silently obey Daiyu's arrangement.They escorted Daiyu and the stones to the garden, and it was dawn already.Daiyu threw herself on the stone to coax her to sleep.

On the other side of the Lin Mansion, Guard Li and Xiao Cui were quietly inspecting the path of the gangsters. Xiao Cui saw a sign behind the courtyard window.When I picked it up, it was the badge of the guards in the palace.Xiao Cui asked, "Is it yours?"

Guard Li touched on his body, but he took out a waist card.Both of them are strange, but they are the same Ouchi guard's badge after taking a bright look.The two stayed for a while.Li Shiwei said: "I will discuss this matter with Miss later, and I will report it to the emperor. It seems that someone in this palace is going to attack Princess!"

"Is it her?"

"Who?"

"Queen Mother!"

Guard Li hurriedly covered Xiao Cui's mouth. Seeing that there was no one around, Fang let go of his hand and said, "You are crazy, you are too courageous. There are so many people coming and going. It's amazing to hear that? Are you Don't die?! I don't know how the princess trusts you?!"

"This is called near Zhuzhechi, the princess is used to being careless! How is she like you?! You are a ghost, be careful everywhere!" Xiao Cui rolled her eyes at Li Shiwei.See Guard Li staring at him.He quickly retracted his neck.Sticking out his tongue, he followed Guard Li to the front.I looked around again and saw nothing unusual.Went outside again.I saw a long bamboo pole leaning against the courtyard wall, which was originally used for tents, so these two people must have climbed up from here.

Guard Li called Xiao Cui to the inner courtyard, and looked around for no one.Into a yard.Close the courtyard door and go to the second floor.Then he said: "Do you suspect it is the queen mother? The queen mother will attack the young master?"

"Then how do you explain this brand? Last time you assassinated Miss, you also saw it at that time. Is this the trick of the gangsters?"

"You mean because of the emperor?"

"Gege refuses to enter the palace, and the emperor's mind is here again. If the queen mother thinks about it from the Qing Dynasty, it is understandable to do so!"

"But why do you want to lay hands on the child?"

"Son, maybe the queen mother thinks it belongs to the emperor! But it's not right, if it belongs to the emperor, the queen mother should protect it!"

Xiaocui's analysis was correct, and she pulled the time back.At the beginning of the death of the old emperor.I once had such a conversation with the queen mother: "I don't have much time, the prince has not long since succeeded to the throne, and many problems have not been eradicated. Especially in the matter of the bed curtain!"

"In this regard, he looks like his grandfather!" The queen mother said, "I just wonder if he has the means of his grandfather?! If only he can devote his mind to government affairs, and devote himself to the country like the emperor, it would be great!"

"In the future, you have to pay attention in the harem. Because of the matter of favor, the arrogance and domineering of foreign relatives are not uncommon in history! If I am gone, you can exceed your authority to govern the harem and protect the Qing Dynasty!"

The queen mother kept it in her heart.After the old emperor passed away, the queen mother deliberately went to the harem to ask the elderly father-in-law to pay more attention and report any movement immediately.Fortunately, the queen is virtuous, behaves dignifiedly, and the harem is relatively stable, so no one dares to trip the queen!Plus the majesty of the queen mother, the emperor is extremely filial.Therefore, during the emperor's reign, there was no competition for favor!

However, what the Queen Mother is most unwilling to see is the emperor's love for Daiyu.If it's in the harem, it's fine.But this woman is so capricious and doesn't enter the harem.

The frightening thing is that there have been rumors in the palace that a promised woman was promoted to concubine, her image was very similar to Daiyu, and the emperor favored her very much.This had to alert the Queen Mother.Think of the entrustment of the old emperor.Then he sent someone to find Xiaocui and told the emperor about the situation at Daiyu's place.This undoubtedly forced Xiao Cui to become a spy.

However, Xiaocui's reply could not satisfy the Queen Mother.

The emperor went to Suzhou again and again, whether it was a private visit in a micro-service or looking for a reason to go there, the queen mother could not rest easy.The emperor's thoughts can't be used on Jiangshan Sheji, but on this woman.The queen mother moved to kill Daiyu, and it was for this reason.

Unexpectedly, the three masters sent there failed to succeed.According to their description, the sword cannot hurt Daiyu.Although they may seem exaggerated, they are all loyal guards!Thinking about it in my heart, it turns out that Daiyu is not a mortal, and it is understandable that she failed in the assassination.So I had to tell the three guards that this matter will rot in my stomach until I die, and I must not let outsiders know about it.

However, the queen mother's actions failed, how to hide it from the queen?The news of Daiyu's assassination has already reached the palace!It is inconvenient for the queen to speak to the emperor.Then he directly remonstrated with the Empress Dowager and said: "The hairpin is not only a strange person, but also a poor woman. What she has done is not a capital crime. Why should the Empress Dowager care about her?"

"I know I can't hide this from you. If you want to say that this child is pitiful, I know better than you. I love her too, but in front of Jiangshan Sheji, what is she?"

"But to treat the symptoms, you need to get rid of the root cause. If you get rid of the frown today, there will be a second and a third frown tomorrow. Does the Queen Mother have to settle all of them?! Besides, if the emperor finds out about this, I'm afraid it will be you all." There was a quarrel between the mother and the son. The emperor became self-willed, he didn't listen to the mother's words, and even acted mischievously outside. At that time, the country and the country were really in danger. But the root cause, can you cure it? Hearing that the first emperor was good at this, he also He is the late emperor's favored grandson. He has been contaminated with many of the late emperor's habits. Not only are there bad things, but there are more good ones after all. It is hard to find a perfect person in this world."

The queen mother said silently, and it took a long time before she said: "Forget it, let go from now on, I can't do anything to her, let her go!"

"If the emperor is really in love with Yan'er, the queen mother may not let her go."

The two chatted for a while.Fang spread out.

But I don't want to, let the queen speak.This time, I went to the south of the Yangtze River with the emperor and met Daiyu's child.Go back and report this matter to the Queen Mother.

"This little stone is definitely not raised by a frown. Look at those eyes and brows, it looks like a frown everywhere!"

"You mean he is the illegitimate son of Yan'er?"

"I'm 60.00% sure about this. They're all women, can we hide this?"

The Queen Mother thought for a moment.Said: "Like the emperor?"

"I didn't see this!"

"If it's not the emperor's, who could it be?" The queen mother thought for a while.He also said: "With this girl's heart, she must be very strong! How can she use this low-level mistake to make people laugh?! It doesn't matter whether she has an affair with the emperor or the emperor forces her. But after all, this child belongs to the royal family. Blood, how can it be lost among the people?"

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Verify the child!" The Empress Dowager said: "If the royal lineage is confirmed, I will not be raised outside. If the little girl is willing to enter the palace, let her be raised. If she is not willing to enter the palace, you can take it by your side and raise it!"

"Then don't let the emperor know about it! You can only use another name. Bring him into the palace."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "I have made a decree to recruit children into the palace! Just say that I want to be a child, and she vowed not to enter the palace, to see her adopted children, that's okay! What's the reason?"

"This is reasonable. Empress Dowager, it is not easy to publicize this matter. I just said that I want my father-in-law to go to the Linfu Garden to watch the fun. When I get there, I will come up with a decree and catch her by surprise. Otherwise, I may cause trouble!"

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly.

The conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Empress reached Nala's ears.Because the empress dowager's behavior towards Nala's family last time, she has become more and more kind to this woman.Nala is also loyal.For the people around the queen mother, she respects even more, and occasionally there will be small favors.Therefore, the maids around the queen mother are willing to chat with Nalashi.Inadvertently, this conversation was leaked by the maid beside the queen mother.

Just when the queen mother issued a secret order to take the two father-in-laws to Suzhou, Nala also gave them a step ahead.

Why did Nalashi attack the stone?This has to start with the last time the swallow kicked her.After being kicked that time, it was a blessing in disguise for Nala, and gained the trust of the Queen Mother.However, there is really no way to hate the princess.She knew that no matter what, she was no match for Yanzi.The emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, which one didn't indulge her? !To be hostile to her is undoubtedly to seek death.

In the final analysis, it was because of this Daiyu.So he passed on his hatred for Yanzi to Daiyu.However, there was no way to retaliate.Fortunately, Daiyu left the palace, and she suffered a little loss.Just let go of your hands.However, the conversation between the two queens shocked her!Shake this hatred out of my heart again.

She thought to herself, if the child really belonged to the emperor, how could Daiyu follow the child into the palace and have her own fruit to eat? !When Daiyu entered the palace, the swallow followed her.At that time, you can imagine what your life is like.That is the whole day in fear!Instead of living like this, it is better to fight for yourself.

Nala asked his close Eunuch Deng to discuss.Eunuch Deng never stopped doing anything, and directly said: "Small size is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband. Think about what kind of tricks Empress Wu is doing?! Concubine Dan learns from her, and Concubine Dan will use her for a lifetime!"

Hearing this, Nala became more courageous.So he conspired with Deng Gonggong.Eunuch Deng recommended himself as a shield for Nala. If the incident fails, he will bear it alone and prevent Nala from participating in the assassination plot, which makes Nala very moved.In fact, Eunuch Deng understood that if the matter was revealed, he would not be able to escape the crime of beheading.It's better to show your loyalty first.

Eunuch Deng is determined to follow this little-known Nala family, although she is not happy at the moment, but Eunuch Deng is aware of the Queen Mother's trust in her.So he played tricks and pulled two guards into the water.Eunuch Deng said to the two: "If you get it, don't get it. If you don't get it, don't leave a clue! Don't kill people and cause trouble, you must protect yourself!"

After the two missed, they came back to report.Another way is that the waist card is lost.Eunuch Deng was so frightened that he secretly stole a waist card for him.Go back and report to Nalashi, and just leave the matter alone.Nala served in front of the Queen Mother all day long, never leaving her left or right.It looks very virtuous!
