Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]
Chapter 135 The Dream of the Red Mansion 7
Because of Wang Xifeng's bewitching, Jia Lian personally lived in the temple for seven days, and invited the great monks to perform a religious ceremony. Jia's mother donated a lot of sesame oil money.With lingering fears in her heart, Wang Xifeng made a frightened look, shed tears, and asked Jia Mu's permission to find a famous nunnery to fast for seven days.She ordered Ping'er to prepare a lot of ingot candles, donated sesame oil, and burned the scriptures copied by the old nuns.
Naturally, these things were all burned to Brother Zhang Jin, and she didn't know if they would be useful.
When she came back from the nunnery, she thought about it, called Lai Ping'er and said in private, "Go to Wang's daughter-in-law and take back all the accounts you put up earlier. If you can't get them back, give them to those poor families. Bring back all the chapters."
"Second Mistress, what are you..." Ping'er was in a state of astonishment, and she could tell that she wanted to stop, but this matter would only be done for half a year, and it was because the Second Mistress said that it would cost a lot for the eldest girl to enter the palace. The business will give a share, and the second wife will give a share. The second wife said that the business has no money, so the second wife came up with such an idea.
"Don't ask, just give orders." Without this way of getting money, how could Wang Xifeng not feel distressed?But she just experienced ghost haunting, she couldn't help feeling timid.After thinking about it, it's all right, it doesn't mean that she has to lend money outside. In such a big mansion, she can still starve to death.
In other words, she wanted to be strong and refused to be laughed at, so that the public had no money and had to pay the dowry herself.Although she also made money from it, how much is it?Who doesn't make money in this house?The eldest wife, the second wife, the eldest master and the second master, the more they stand high, the more they earn. Even the old lady probably came here in the same way.Now they don't look down on Gongzhong's little money, so they leave the house to her. She is really a housekeeper worthy of the name. She only takes care of the house, but she can't touch the key to the warehouse.
It's really boring the more I think about it.
Sister Shan came in and sent a message: "Second Grandma, Zhou Rui's family is here."
Wang Xifeng calmed down, sat up straight, and rushed towards humanity with a smile: "Hey, sister Zhou, what kind of wind brought your old man here today?"
"Look at what the second grandma said, it seems that I am the noble man. The second wife ordered me to come, firstly to visit the second grandma, and secondly to send the pair of cards to the second grandma." Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: " I see Second Mistress's complexion is much better, why didn't she go out for a walk? It's not good to be bored in the house all the time, the girls over there are still talking about Second Mistress."
"I know, they want me to have fun. I don't want to go. I'm exhausted all day long. This time, when I get sick, all the problems in my body come out, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere. How can I have the energy to do other things? I'll be nestled in this house." Wang Xifeng snorted coldly in her heart, her good aunt is really good at calculating, seeing that it's the twelfth lunar month and she is just tired of work, she wants to push her out.A few days ago, she was still the housekeeper, and she knew very well that there was not much money in the account of the public school, and it was the end of the year, so she would not be sloppy in every festival of the year, and there were expenses for welcoming and sending, so she didn't fill in the money hole!
Zhou Rui's family was shocked.
You must know that Wang Xifeng is the most stubborn person, never willing to say that she is not good, even if she is sick and insists on being a housekeeper, she is not sloppy at all.At first hearing her cry that she was not feeling well, Zhou Rui's family didn't suspect it, they just thought she was really sick.
"Second Mistress asked a doctor to see it? You can't delay if you are sick."
"I just came back from the nunnery. I feel dizzy, my waist is sore, and I feel cold. I plan to invite Dr. Xu from Huichun Hall to have a look. Dr. Xu is very good at gynecology. I went to the doctor and took the medicine for a few days, didn't I say that I'm much better?" Wang Xifeng said seriously.
Upon hearing about Jia Yuanchun, Zhou Rui's family was honored and said with a smile: "That's right, the second wife sent me to deliver things to Concubine Shu this morning, and checked again. Concubine Concubine's complexion is also better, You can also walk around in the courtyard, I heard that the prince rewarded Dr. Xu for this."
"That's really a happy event!" Wang Xifeng looked at the pair of cards on the table in embarrassment, and said, "Please trouble sister Zhou to take the pair of cards back. It's not right, it's really shameless to see people under the new year, I hope the second wife will forgive me."
"Second Grandma, I sent someone to invite the doctor, and he will be here soon." Ping'er came in from the outside, and smiled when he saw Zhou Rui's family: "Sister Zhou is here."
Wang Xifeng laughed secretly when she heard Ping'er's words, this little hoof must have heard them talking outside and wanted to cover for her.She just didn't know, and said: "Ping'er came back just in time, you went with sister Zhou to see the second wife, and explained my situation in detail, and confessed to the second wife for me."
When the second wife heard what Ping'er said, even if she felt unhappy, she couldn't force Wang Xifeng to be the housekeeper, and she could only mention it in a few days.
Although the new emperor is enthroned now, the official ceremony will not be held until the beginning of the new year, and people with discerning eyes and hearts can see the tricks hidden in the abdication of the Supreme Emperor.The reason why the Supreme Emperor did this was because of his health, and secondly because of the continuous thunder that night, he was afraid that it was a warning from the heavens. If there is a real catastrophe in the coming year, wouldn't it be the fault of the emperor?Therefore, the Supreme Emperor simply abdicated years ago, after all, the power is still in his hands.
Tu Jing became the emperor, full of ambitions, and knew that there would be obstacles in governing, but he was still extremely annoyed when he faced it.The ministers at the bottom were obedient and obedient, and the corpse was a vegetarian meal. He had to ask the Supreme Emperor for instructions on all actions, and he had no control over himself. The Third Prince and others took power in their hands and acted recklessly. The Supreme Emperor repeatedly told them not to wrong them.
The Supreme Emperor deliberately did not want him to secure the throne!
On the contrary, although the Third Prince did not win the throne, other things went well, and the Supreme Emperor treated him even closer than other brothers.Because of this, the original dissatisfaction became more and more swollen, and his heart for the throne became more and more passionate.
Going out for a banquet that day, the conversation was lively during the banquet, so it was inevitable that they drank a few more glasses, and when they returned to the mansion, they went directly to Jia's courtyard.It was not easy for the third prince to bear it during this period, but knowing that Jia Shi was ill, and there were a bunch of people staring at him, it was really hard to get over it.Fortunately, Xu Yan, who was invited last time, was capable. After taking medicine for a few days, Jia's condition finally improved.
Jia Yuanchun greeted him in the courtyard.Although her illness has not been completely cured, it is indeed better than before. She knows that the prince's patience is limited, so she dare not refuse again and again.
The third prince couldn't bear it any longer, he waved his hand to drive away the servants, and rolled into the spring tent with Jia Yuanchun in his arms.
The mandarin ducks put up their tents and were turned into red waves.
Although the third prince had also dated other women recently, he always felt that his interest had faded, so this night he naturally tried his best to enjoy himself to the fullest.Naturally, Jia Yuanchun didn't dare to be disappointed, even though his body was still a little weak, he still followed the magic tricks taught by Fairy Jing Huan as usual to play fish and water.The first time she came down, she was already sweating profusely and her body was limp, but the third prince refused to give up, so she had to accompany her for the second and third time...
Inside the tent, there is passion and tenderness.
The third prince only felt extremely happy, the depression and irritability of the past few days were swept away, and his whole body was filled with endless energy.He couldn't help hugging Jia Yuanchun, and said with a deep infatuation: "My concubine, today I finally understand what is meant by 'death under the peony flowers is a romantic affair', if I have my concubine to accompany me every day, ah!"
Before the affectionate murmurs could be finished, there was a horrified scream, and then the third prince rolled down from the bed curtain unknit, his face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.
"Someone! Somebody!"
The eunuch and maid came in immediately outside.
"My lord?" The chief eunuch, Wang Xi, hurriedly fetched clothes to put on him, mixed up the people, and thought that concubine Jia Shu didn't serve him well, which angered the lord.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince's face was ashen at this time, and he raised his finger to the bed curtain tremblingly: "Concubine Shu, Concubine Jia..."
Hearing that the voice of Baoqin was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to lift up a corner of the curtain, when he saw the scene inside, he screamed in shock, and passed out.
At this time, lying in the Jinxiu Luo tent was the beautiful and beautiful Jia Yuanchun in the past, obviously a mummy.The whole body of this mummy is only skin and bones, its skin is withered and yellow like an old woman, and the flesh has long since disappeared on its face, only a head of beautiful hair is left scattered on the bed, and the emerald jade bracelet on the wrist of the mummy shows that it is indeed Jia Yuanchun.What is frightening is that when Jia Yuanchun died, his expression was still extremely enjoying, as if he had turned into a human being amidst the joy.
The few people in the house who witnessed this scene were shocked and frightened, but they also looked at the third prince in unison.
The third prince managed to suppress the chaotic emotions, and found that several people's suspicious and terrified eyes fell on him, and he couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed: "Someone must have used a demon method to harm Concubine Jia Shu! Wang Xi, go and investigate immediately! Seriously!" check!"
Wang Xixi maintained a little rationality, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, calm down, this matter really needs to be investigated, but there are too many people talking about it, and it is inevitable that some rumors will be spread. From my slave's point of view, it is better to investigate secretly."
The third prince also knew that he had lost his composure, so he nodded: "That's it!"
He said he straightened his clothes completely, as if there was some filth in the house, and walked away quickly without looking back.
Wang Xi ordered people to lock up Baoqin and the two maids who witnessed the incident. No matter what, the bizarre death of the concubine in the palace should not be spread, let alone damage the reputation of the prince.
But said that the third prince came to the study, paced back and forth, and his mood could not be calm all the time.Others don't know, but he himself knows that there was nothing wrong with being with Jia Yuanchun tonight, and suddenly... because of Jia Yuanchun's horrifying and bizarre death, the third prince suddenly realized one thing——Jia Yuanchun's body There are weird!
As the prince, the third prince has had countless daughters, naturally there are also women who are very suitable to his heart and appetite, and there are also women who are very good at serving others, but no one has given him the same enjoyment as Jia Yuanchun.That kind of carefreeness is from the outside to the inside, deep into the bone marrow, and it can be addictive. Once it is broken, it can make food unsatisfactory and even restless.He originally thought that Jia Yuanchun had learned the art of the house, which was part of the duties of a woman in the backyard, but he didn't take it seriously, it was just that Jia Yuanchun was very talented, maybe, he had doubts before, but he got a lot of benefits, Those questions were subconsciously ignored by him.Now Jia Yuanchun's death made him inexplicably terrified, and he couldn't help but suspect——Jia Yuanchun suddenly died suddenly, would he also suffer from it?
"Come on, check Jia Yuanchun for me, but everyone who has contact with her must be checked. In addition, the Jia family must not be missed!" The third prince only felt that there was a knife hanging above his head, and he didn't know when it would come down.
Even though the third prince wanted to keep this matter under wraps, Jia Yuanchun's death couldn't be concealed, and even those with good eyes and ears could smell something special from it.
The one who paid the most attention to the princes was Tu Jing, who got the news almost that night.The death of a little concubine is really nothing, but the occasion of death is wrong, and the reaction of the third prince is even more wrong.While ordering people to follow up, Tu Jing secretly thought about it.
After the third prince calmed down, a second-class steward went to Jia's house to report the news the next day.
Wang Xifeng took care of his illness, Mrs. Wang was still in charge of the affairs of the mansion, not to mention that the person who came was the second-class steward of the Three Princes' Mansion, and the mansion often entrusted this person to pass the news to Yuan Chun.
"Wang Yiren, my condolences." This man's words stunned Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang felt something in her heart, her expression was stunned, and the Buddhist beads in her hand fell to the ground: "What do you mean by this? Could it be the concubine..."
The man sighed: "Concubine Jia Shu's condition suddenly deteriorated last night and she went away."
Mrs. Wang felt dizzy and dizzy. Jin Chuan Caixia hurriedly supported her, pinched someone and poured tea, and finally woke up leisurely.Mrs. Wang was filled with grief, she burst into tears, and cried out in extreme mourning: "My Yuan'er, my daughter, your life is so miserable..."
As soon as Jin Chuan heard that this was wrong, he cried in front of the people of the Three Princes' Palace that the eldest girl's life was miserable. Didn't he mean to criticize the Three Princes?These words can be big or small.Jin Chuan hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang into the inner room, and while comforting her, fetched water to remake her makeup.
Mrs. Wang pushed her away, ordered someone to give the steward tea money, and stumbled to see the old lady.
At this time, the old lady was sitting in the warm pavilion, surrounded by her grandchildren and grandchildren, and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, and two granddaughters-in-law were laughing with her. It was lively.Mrs. Wang rushed in before she could tell, her face was full of tears, and she couldn't help sobbing, which really shocked everyone.
"Second daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" Although Jia's mother disliked Mrs. Wang recently, Mrs. Wang was very particular about appearance and manners, and she would never do anything disgraceful.Jiamu's heart was pounding, and she already had a premonition of ominousness.
Mrs. Wang knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Old lady, concubine, she was ill last night. Just now, someone from the Three Princes' House came to report the funeral. I feel very uncomfortable. I really can't bear it. I hope the old lady will forgive me for being rude. "
Not to mention how other people are, when Jia Mu heard this, her eyes darkened and she fell down.
"Old lady!" Everyone was in a mess.
Jia's mother was furious, and the doctor gave her an injection, prescribed a prescription for recuperation, and told her not to get angry.
It was already night, and the five upper rooms of Jiamu's house were brightly lit, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng stood respectfully underneath. Mrs. Wang was hoarse from crying, but Mrs. Xing had a dull face.Jia Lian stood behind Jia Amnesty, and Wang Xifeng was beside him. The young couple were here purely to fill in the crowd and basically had no right to speak.
Now that Jia Yuanchun is just a concubine in the palace, she died again, and it was a bit unclear, so Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion would not come to join in the fun.
Jia's mother has recovered, but her expression is a bit disheartened. After all, Jia Yuanchun is the hope of Jia's family, and she gets up soon, who knows...
Bracing herself, Jia's mother asked: "What about the concubine's funeral, can Lian'er find out clearly?"
The errands in the mansion are naturally done by Jia Lian, and there is no way to avoid them.
Jia Lian didn't dare to raise his head, and replied softly: "I went to inquire, and there was no movement in the palace at all. I heard that the third prince is a little nostalgic, but there have always been rules. Our concubine died of illness. , and the ranking is not high, so... last night, it was dragged to the Huarenchang."
Gudong!Mrs. Wang passed out.
Mother Jia also had red eyes, but she had already guessed the result when she heard the bad news during the day. It was pulled out and burned.Mother Jia is someone who has experienced a lot, but she instinctively felt that this matter was strange, and she didn't dare to inquire about it, for fear of offending the nobles again.
Jia Lian hurriedly added: "The third prince was sad that his concubine died of illness, and he sat in the Fahua Temple outside the city for seven days to perform rituals for his concubine."
"My lord's move was too much, why did it go so far." Jia Zheng was grateful to the third lord and praised him endlessly.
Jia She didn't say a word, but he was really annoyed.
When Jia Yuanchun entered the Three Princes' Mansion back then, the second room didn't know how happy it was, as if Yuanchun had become a concubine.That's all right, he only cares about the money he threw out.When Yuan Chun was a maid in the palace, she spent a lot of money, all of them went out on business. Later, when she entered the Three Princes' Mansion, Jia Zheng was promoted.It's all right now, the person is dead, and I can't get a penny back!
It wasn't that Jia She was cold-blooded and indifferent to the death of his eldest niece, it was entirely because Jia Yuanchun didn't take him seriously as an uncle.You know, the two families are not separated, and the head of the Rongguo Mansion is the big family, so Jia Yuanchun can do it to save face, not to mention that she was named the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion when she entered the palace.
The people below have different thoughts, and Jia's mother just didn't know what to do, and she only told Jia Lian: "You should be careful to inquire tomorrow, I'm afraid there is something wrong here."
"What does the old lady mean..." Everyone was puzzled.
Jia Mu shook her head: "I hope I think too much."
Jia Yuanchun's sudden death was not well concealed. There would always be such "sudden deaths" in the deep palaces, and it was almost a tacit way of dealing with it.It stands to reason that it would be better for the third prince to put this matter on Xu Yan. The doctor who finally treated Jia Yuanchun was Xu Yan. Do.
Now who in the capital doesn't know that Huichuntang has something to do with the new emperor, if Xu Yan is really involved, wouldn't he be giving his handle to the new emperor?He didn't want to make a fuss about Yuan Chun's death, he just hoped that the matter would settle down as soon as possible so that no one would find out.
Not everyone thinks the same as him, however.
After two days of mourning, Mrs. Wang has gradually recovered, but whenever Jia Yuanchun is mentioned, she must cry a lot.Mrs. Wang had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Jia Zhu, died of illness before he was 20 years old. The youngest son, Baoyu, was raised by the old lady. Because of their wealth and fate, they were sent to the palace early, and the mother and daughter rarely saw each other for many years.Now that Yuanchun is about to come to an end, and the third prince loves him so much, sooner or later he will have a man and a half woman. How do you know that a good person will disappear overnight.
"Earlier, she sent someone to tell me to be relieved. She just asked the doctor to prescribe a new medicine. It was getting better. Why did it suddenly get worse? The children are the heart and soul of the mother. Pearl is gone. She Let go again, how can I live like this!"
As soon as she mentioned Jia Zhu, Li Wan felt his sore spot, crying more and more sadly.
Wang Xifeng and Zhou Rui's family tried to persuade them left and right, but they heard Zhou Rui's family say: "Second wife, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"There are no outsiders, so just say what you have to say." Mrs. Wang said.
"Second wife, concubine concubine's illness has been going on for some time, and the imperial physicians in the palace didn't take care of it, but a young doctor took care of it. It’s gone, could there be something wrong with that medicine?”
The veil in Mrs. Wang's hand paused, and she clenched it tightly: "I remember, the doctor from Huichun Hall was invited, and girl Feng suggested it."
Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: "Auntie, concubine concubine is my cousin, from the second master's point of view, she is also my own sister, I can only hope for her well. I don't dare to have bad intentions when I mention this Doctor Xu. He has been treated for the old concubine of Nan'an, and he has indeed been cured, and the old concubine often praises him."
Mrs. Wang's expression is calm, but her eyes are cold: "Even if you really cured others, not everyone can be cured well. You are so young, but you just hit it by accident, how much real ability can you have?"
Wang Xifeng stopped talking.
After going back that day, Wang Xifeng called the servant Xing'er and asked, "Where is Second Master?"
Xing'er smiled and said, "Go back to Second Grandma, Second Master has gone out to do some errands."
Wang Xifeng sneered: "Just coax me! This time I don't care about you, you quickly find the second master, tell him, let him find an excuse to hide outside for two days, the second wife is about to find the bad luck of the spring hall, why should we bother?" Follow Baidan."
Xing'er took the order and left.
Ping'er said: "Didn't it mean that Doctor Xu took good care of the emperor's illness when he was in the hidden mansion? There is also a background in going back and forth like this, and the second wife bumped into it like this..."
"The second wife is not afraid! The Jia family is the residence of the Duke of the State. She is the second wife of the Jia family and the daughter of the Wang family. Now that my uncle is the governor of the capital, even the emperor should give him some face." Wang Xifeng is still very proud of her family background.
Ping'er didn't understand: "If you follow grandma's words, why do you want the second master to hide?"
"I just don't think it's a good thing." Wang Xifeng couldn't explain it herself, maybe it was because of the serious illness she experienced last time, she was even timid.
Naturally, these things were all burned to Brother Zhang Jin, and she didn't know if they would be useful.
When she came back from the nunnery, she thought about it, called Lai Ping'er and said in private, "Go to Wang's daughter-in-law and take back all the accounts you put up earlier. If you can't get them back, give them to those poor families. Bring back all the chapters."
"Second Mistress, what are you..." Ping'er was in a state of astonishment, and she could tell that she wanted to stop, but this matter would only be done for half a year, and it was because the Second Mistress said that it would cost a lot for the eldest girl to enter the palace. The business will give a share, and the second wife will give a share. The second wife said that the business has no money, so the second wife came up with such an idea.
"Don't ask, just give orders." Without this way of getting money, how could Wang Xifeng not feel distressed?But she just experienced ghost haunting, she couldn't help feeling timid.After thinking about it, it's all right, it doesn't mean that she has to lend money outside. In such a big mansion, she can still starve to death.
In other words, she wanted to be strong and refused to be laughed at, so that the public had no money and had to pay the dowry herself.Although she also made money from it, how much is it?Who doesn't make money in this house?The eldest wife, the second wife, the eldest master and the second master, the more they stand high, the more they earn. Even the old lady probably came here in the same way.Now they don't look down on Gongzhong's little money, so they leave the house to her. She is really a housekeeper worthy of the name. She only takes care of the house, but she can't touch the key to the warehouse.
It's really boring the more I think about it.
Sister Shan came in and sent a message: "Second Grandma, Zhou Rui's family is here."
Wang Xifeng calmed down, sat up straight, and rushed towards humanity with a smile: "Hey, sister Zhou, what kind of wind brought your old man here today?"
"Look at what the second grandma said, it seems that I am the noble man. The second wife ordered me to come, firstly to visit the second grandma, and secondly to send the pair of cards to the second grandma." Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: " I see Second Mistress's complexion is much better, why didn't she go out for a walk? It's not good to be bored in the house all the time, the girls over there are still talking about Second Mistress."
"I know, they want me to have fun. I don't want to go. I'm exhausted all day long. This time, when I get sick, all the problems in my body come out, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere. How can I have the energy to do other things? I'll be nestled in this house." Wang Xifeng snorted coldly in her heart, her good aunt is really good at calculating, seeing that it's the twelfth lunar month and she is just tired of work, she wants to push her out.A few days ago, she was still the housekeeper, and she knew very well that there was not much money in the account of the public school, and it was the end of the year, so she would not be sloppy in every festival of the year, and there were expenses for welcoming and sending, so she didn't fill in the money hole!
Zhou Rui's family was shocked.
You must know that Wang Xifeng is the most stubborn person, never willing to say that she is not good, even if she is sick and insists on being a housekeeper, she is not sloppy at all.At first hearing her cry that she was not feeling well, Zhou Rui's family didn't suspect it, they just thought she was really sick.

Concubine Concubine's complexion is also better, You can also walk around in the courtyard, I heard that the prince rewarded Dr. Xu for this."
"That's really a happy event!" Wang Xifeng looked at the pair of cards on the table in embarrassment, and said, "Please trouble sister Zhou to take the pair of cards back. It's not right, it's really shameless to see people under the new year, I hope the second wife will forgive me."
"Second Grandma, I sent someone to invite the doctor, and he will be here soon." Ping'er came in from the outside, and smiled when he saw Zhou Rui's family: "Sister Zhou is here."
Wang Xifeng laughed secretly when she heard Ping'er's words, this little hoof must have heard them talking outside and wanted to cover for her.She just didn't know, and said: "Ping'er came back just in time, you went with sister Zhou to see the second wife, and explained my situation in detail, and confessed to the second wife for me."
When the second wife heard what Ping'er said, even if she felt unhappy, she couldn't force Wang Xifeng to be the housekeeper, and she could only mention it in a few days.
Although the new emperor is enthroned now, the official ceremony will not be held until the beginning of the new year, and people with discerning eyes and hearts can see the tricks hidden in the abdication of the Supreme Emperor.The reason why the Supreme Emperor did this was because of his health, and secondly because of the continuous thunder that night, he was afraid that it was a warning from the heavens.

The third prince managed to suppress the chaotic emotions, and found that several people's suspicious and terrified eyes fell on him, and he couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed: "Someone must have used a demon method to harm Concubine Jia Shu! Wang Xi, go and investigate immediately! Seriously!" check!"
Wang Xixi maintained a little rationality, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, calm down, this matter really needs to be investigated, but there are too many people talking about it, and it is inevitable that some rumors will be spread. From my slave's point of view, it is better to investigate secretly."
The third prince also knew that he had lost his composure, so he nodded: "That's it!"
He said he straightened his clothes completely, as if there was some filth in the house, and walked away quickly without looking back.
Wang Xi ordered people to lock up Baoqin and the two maids who witnessed the incident. No matter what, the bizarre death of the concubine in the palace should not be spread, let alone damage the reputation of the prince.
But said that the third prince came to the study, paced back and forth, and his mood could not be calm all the time.Others don't know, but he himself knows that there was nothing wrong with being with Jia Yuanchun tonight, and suddenly... because of Jia Yuanchun's horrifying and bizarre death, the third prince suddenly realized one thing——Jia Yuanchun's body There are weird!
As the prince, the third prince has had countless daughters, naturally there are also women who are very suitable to his heart and appetite, and there are also women who are very good at serving others, but no one has given him the same enjoyment as Jia Yuanchun.That kind of carefreeness is from the outside to the inside, deep into the bone marrow, and it can be addictive. Once it is broken, it can make food unsatisfactory and even restless.He originally thought that Jia Yuanchun had learned the art of the house, which was part of the duties of a woman in the backyard, but he didn't take it seriously, it was just that Jia Yuanchun was very talented, maybe, he had doubts before, but he got a lot of benefits, Those questions were subconsciously ignored by him.Now Jia Yuanchun's death made him inexplicably terrified, and he couldn't help but suspect——Jia Yuanchun suddenly died suddenly, would he also suffer from it?
"Come on, check Jia Yuanchun for me, but everyone who has contact with her must be checked. In addition, the Jia family must not be missed!" The third prince only felt that there was a knife hanging above his head, and he didn't know when it would come down.
Even though the third prince wanted to keep this matter under wraps, Jia Yuanchun's death couldn't be concealed, and even those with good eyes and ears could smell something special from it.
The one who paid the most attention to the princes was Tu Jing, who got the news almost that night.The death of a little concubine is really nothing, but the occasion of death is wrong, and the reaction of the third prince is even more wrong.While ordering people to follow up, Tu Jing secretly thought about it.
After the third prince calmed down, a second-class steward went to Jia's house to report the news the next day.
Wang Xifeng took care of his illness, Mrs. Wang was still in charge of the affairs of the mansion, not to mention that the person who came was the second-class steward of the Three Princes' Mansion, and the mansion often entrusted this person to pass the news to Yuan Chun.
"Wang Yiren, my condolences." This man's words stunned Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang felt something in her heart, her expression was stunned, and the Buddhist beads in her hand fell to the ground: "What do you mean by this? Could it be the concubine..."
The man sighed: "Concubine Jia Shu's condition suddenly deteriorated last night and she went away."
Mrs. Wang felt dizzy and dizzy. Jin Chuan Caixia hurriedly supported her, pinched someone and poured tea, and finally woke up leisurely.Mrs. Wang was filled with grief, she burst into tears, and cried out in extreme mourning: "My Yuan'er, my daughter, your life is so miserable..."
As soon as Jin Chuan heard that this was wrong, he cried in front of the people of the Three Princes' Palace that the eldest girl's life was miserable. Didn't he mean to criticize the Three Princes?These words can be big or small.Jin Chuan hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang into the inner room, and while comforting her, fetched water to remake her makeup.
Mrs. Wang pushed her away, ordered someone to give the steward tea money, and stumbled to see the old lady.
At this time, the old lady was sitting in the warm pavilion, surrounded by her grandchildren and grandchildren, and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, and two granddaughters-in-law were laughing with her. It was lively.Mrs. Wang rushed in before she could tell, her face was full of tears, and she couldn't help sobbing, which really shocked everyone.
"Second daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" Although Jia's mother disliked Mrs. Wang recently, Mrs. Wang was very particular about appearance and manners, and she would never do anything disgraceful.Jiamu's heart was pounding, and she already had a premonition of ominousness.
Mrs. Wang knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Old lady, concubine, she was ill last night. Just now, someone from the Three Princes' House came to report the funeral. I feel very uncomfortable. I really can't bear it. I hope the old lady will forgive me for being rude. "
Not to mention how other people are, when Jia Mu heard this, her eyes darkened and she fell down.
"Old lady!" Everyone was in a mess.
Jia's mother was furious, and the doctor gave her an injection, prescribed a prescription for recuperation, and told her not to get angry.
It was already night, and the five upper rooms of Jiamu's house were brightly lit, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng stood respectfully underneath. Mrs. Wang was hoarse from crying, but Mrs. Xing had a dull face.Jia Lian stood behind Jia Amnesty, and Wang Xifeng was beside him. The young couple were here purely to fill in the crowd and basically had no right to speak.
Now that Jia Yuanchun is just a concubine in the palace, she died again, and it was a bit unclear, so Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion would not come to join in the fun.
Jia's mother has recovered, but her expression is a bit disheartened. After all, Jia Yuanchun is the hope of Jia's family, and she gets up soon, who knows...
Bracing herself, Jia's mother asked: "What about the concubine's funeral, can Lian'er find out clearly?"
The errands in the mansion are naturally done by Jia Lian, and there is no way to avoid them.
Jia Lian didn't dare to raise his head, and replied softly: "I went to inquire, and there was no movement in the palace at all. I heard that the third prince is a little nostalgic, but there have always been rules. Our concubine died of illness. , and the ranking is not high, so... last night, it was dragged to the Huarenchang."
Gudong!Mrs. Wang passed out.
Mother Jia also had red eyes, but she had already guessed the result when she heard the bad news during the day. It was pulled out and burned.Mother Jia is someone who has experienced a lot, but she instinctively felt that this matter was strange, and she didn't dare to inquire about it, for fear of offending the nobles again.
Jia Lian hurriedly added: "The third prince was sad that his concubine died of illness, and he sat in the Fahua Temple outside the city for seven days to perform rituals for his concubine."
"My lord's move was too much, why did it go so far." Jia Zheng was grateful to the third lord and praised him endlessly.
Jia She didn't say a word, but he was really annoyed.
When Jia Yuanchun entered the Three Princes' Mansion back then, the second room didn't know how happy it was, as if Yuanchun had become a concubine.That's all right, he only cares about the money he threw out.When Yuan Chun was a maid in the palace, she spent a lot of money, all of them went out on business. Later, when she entered the Three Princes' Mansion, Jia Zheng was promoted.It's all right now, the person is dead, and I can't get a penny back!
It wasn't that Jia She was cold-blooded and indifferent to the death of his eldest niece, it was entirely because Jia Yuanchun didn't take him seriously as an uncle.You know, the two families are not separated, and the head of the Rongguo Mansion is the big family, so Jia Yuanchun can do it to save face, not to mention that she was named the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion when she entered the palace.
The people below have different thoughts, and Jia's mother just didn't know what to do, and she only told Jia Lian: "You should be careful to inquire tomorrow, I'm afraid there is something wrong here."
"What does the old lady mean..." Everyone was puzzled.
Jia Mu shook her head: "I hope I think too much."
Jia Yuanchun's sudden death was not well concealed. There would always be such "sudden deaths" in the deep palaces, and it was almost a tacit way of dealing with it.It stands to reason that it would be better for the third prince to put this matter on Xu Yan. The doctor who finally treated Jia Yuanchun was Xu Yan. Do.
Now who in the capital doesn't know that Huichuntang has something to do with the new emperor, if Xu Yan is really involved, wouldn't he be giving his handle to the new emperor?He didn't want to make a fuss about Yuan Chun's death, he just hoped that the matter would settle down as soon as possible so that no one would find out.
Not everyone thinks the same as him, however.
After two days of mourning, Mrs. Wang has gradually recovered, but whenever Jia Yuanchun is mentioned, she must cry a lot.Mrs. Wang had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Jia Zhu, died of illness before he was 20 years old. The youngest son, Baoyu, was raised by the old lady. Because of their wealth and fate, they were sent to the palace early, and the mother and daughter rarely saw each other for many years.Now that Yuanchun is about to come to an end, and the third prince loves him so much, sooner or later he will have a man and a half woman. How do you know that a good person will disappear overnight.
"Earlier, she sent someone to tell me to be relieved. She just asked the doctor to prescribe a new medicine. It was getting better. Why did it suddenly get worse? The children are the heart and soul of the mother. Pearl is gone. She Let go again, how can I live like this!"
As soon as she mentioned Jia Zhu, Li Wan felt his sore spot, crying more and more sadly.
Wang Xifeng and Zhou Rui's family tried to persuade them left and right, but they heard Zhou Rui's family say: "Second wife, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"There are no outsiders, so just say what you have to say." Mrs. Wang said.
"Second wife, concubine concubine's illness has been going on for some time, and the imperial physicians in the palace didn't take care of it, but a young doctor took care of it. It’s gone, could there be something wrong with that medicine?”
The veil in Mrs. Wang's hand paused, and she clenched it tightly: "I remember, the doctor from Huichun Hall was invited, and girl Feng suggested it."
Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: "Auntie, concubine concubine is my cousin, from the second master's point of view, she is also my own sister, I can only hope for her well. I don't dare to have bad intentions when I mention this Doctor Xu. He has been treated for the old concubine of Nan'an, and he has indeed been cured, and the old concubine often praises him."
Mrs. Wang's expression is calm, but her eyes are cold: "Even if you really cured others, not everyone can be cured well. You are so young, but you just hit it by accident, how much real ability can you have?"
Wang Xifeng stopped talking.
After going back that day, Wang Xifeng called the servant Xing'er and asked, "Where is Second Master?"
Xing'er smiled and said, "Go back to Second Grandma, Second Master has gone out to do some errands."
Wang Xifeng sneered: "Just coax me! This time I don't care about you, you quickly find the second master, tell him, let him find an excuse to hide outside for two days, the second wife is about to find the bad luck of the spring hall, why should we bother?" Follow Baidan."
Xing'er took the order and left.
Ping'er said: "Didn't it mean that Doctor Xu took good care of the emperor's illness when he was in the hidden mansion? There is also a background in going back and forth like this, and the second wife bumped into it like this..."
"The second wife is not afraid! The Jia family is the residence of the Duke of the State. She is the second wife of the Jia family and the daughter of the Wang family. Now that my uncle is the governor of the capital, even the emperor should give him some face." Wang Xifeng is still very proud of her family background.
Ping'er didn't understand: "If you follow grandma's words, why do you want the second master to hide?"
"I just don't think it's a good thing." Wang Xifeng couldn't explain it herself, maybe it was because of the serious illness she experienced last time, she was even timid.
