The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 770

However, after Concubine Wu Guifei left the Qianqing Palace, she couldn't help laughing secretly when she first thought about the queen's reaction after seeing the photo.

But it didn't take long for me to start feeling depressed again.

Recently, every time she thinks of Concubine Rong humiliating herself in front of her, most likely to poison the crown prince, she feels panic and resentment at the same time, even though she has thought of many ways to torture Concubine Rong recently, she still feels that it is not enough.

That's why these photos were produced, and they were prepared to spread the word so that Concubine Rong would be crucified on the pillar of shame and become a laughing stock for all ages.

Whoever thought that the arrow was on the string was rejected by the queen again.

Hey~
The queen sister is good at everything else, but she is too timid. In fact, she did it in a subtle way. Who can guess that it is her handwriting?

Returning to Zhongcui Palace in such a gloomy mood, Concubine Wu Gui was thinking of venting her anger on Concubine Rong, when suddenly she got a report from her trusted eunuch, saying that Master Jiao did not leave the palace immediately after leaving Qianqing Palace, but was given by Concubine Xiande halfway. stopped.

Concubine Wu Gui couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this.

After pondering for a moment, he ordered: "When he finishes talking with Concubine Xiande, you bring him to Zhongcui Palace and tell him that I have something to tell you."

The eunuch responded, and rushed out in a hurry, fearing that he would be late, Jiao Shun had already left the palace.

Jia Yuanchun was originally the most low-key person in the palace. Although he had a deep relationship with Jiao Shun, he had never contacted him alone, let alone met him alone.

It is really helpless to stop Jiao Shun on the way.

If the rumor started in the palace, she could still try to turn it around, but the news was spread outside, and even if she had all kinds of scheming, she couldn't help it.

The natal family is also a bunch of mud that can't support the wall, and there is no hope at all. At this time, if you don't ask Jiao Shun for help, who else can you ask for help?
But she didn't blindly pray, but solemnly stated to Jiao Shun that the two of them, one in the palace and one outside the palace, would work together to thwart King Zhongshun's ambitious conspiracy. Through the memorial of King Zhongshun, and use it to analyze King Zhongshun's plot.

Her proposal of joining forces seems quite reasonable, but Jiao Shun doesn't feel very cold in his heart.

Since he didn't see Jia Yuanchun in Qianqing Palace today, he guessed that Jia Yuanchun had probably been affected by the rumors, otherwise, as the think tank chosen by the empress and Wu Guifei, there would be no reason for her to be absent from such an occasion.

Now that she has already lost power, how can she talk about inside and outside the palace?
Of course, with Jia Yuanchun's mind and means, it can still help to some extent, but it is definitely not as important as she said.

Therefore, Jiao Shun still put on a face of going through fire and water and dying, and at the same time repeatedly mentioned the difficulty of this matter. After all, many things are preconceived. Even if the public opinion can be reversed, it may not be able to improve Jia Yuanchun. situation.

"You can rest assured, as long as the weather outside is calm, I can turn the situation around!"

What Jia Yuanchun said was full of confidence, obviously he had already made up his mind.

Jiao Shun was curious and wanted to ask, but she talked about it from left to right. Obviously, she didn't completely trust Jiao, or she had already glimpsed something from Jiao Shun's 'bedding'.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun naturally couldn't explore further, so the two said goodbye to each other.

After bidding farewell to Jia Yuanchun, Jiao Shun originally wanted to leave the palace, but he was stopped by eunuchs from Zhongcui Palace after a few steps.

Hearing that it was Concubine Wu Guifei who summoned him, he naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed the eunuch to Zhongcui Palace.

Previously, to avoid suspicion, the empress chose to meet him in the Emperor's Qianqing Palace; in order to avoid suspicion, Jia Yuanchun also pretended to meet him halfway to stop him from speaking;

After Jiao Shun saw the ceremony, she didn't call Ping Shen, she leaned on the Arhat's bed with a flying body like a bird, sneered at Jiao Shun and said, "I heard that you just went to see Concubine Xian De?"

It turned out to be for this matter.

Jiao Shun hurriedly wanted to argue a few words, saying that he was not going to see Jia Yuanchun himself, but Jia Yuanchun stopped him halfway to speak.

Concubine Wu Gui raised her slender hand, and said without doubt: "Although you are from the Rongguo Mansion, what did the Rongguo Mansion give you? The current situation is not entirely due to the emperor and the crown prince's praise of you? You have to take the position yourself. Put it right, some people and some things, it's better not to pay attention to them in the future, so as not to be implicated for nothing!"

She spoke so bluntly, what else can Jiao Shun do?

Immediately, he kowtowed again and again, expressing with sincerity and trepidation that he only knows to be loyal to the emperor and the prince, and nothing else can be compared with it. If there is any rebellion, the emperor and the prince will naturally prevail.

Concubine Wu Gui actually hoped that he could also add his name to the list of allegiance to the death, alongside the emperor.

But thinking about his own meaning is his son's meaning, his son's meaning is also his own meaning, and seeing Jiao Shun prostrate on the ground very respectful, he didn't pursue these details any more.

Just as Jiao Shun was about to say a few words of relief, she let Jiao Shun back down, but Concubine Wu Gui suddenly remembered something, a playful look flashed in her eyes, she got up gracefully and said, "Don't move around here."

Saying that, he went into the bedroom by himself.

Is this going into the house to get oranges?
Jiao Shun was very puzzled, so he waited for about a cup of tea, only to see the filial concubine Wu Guiting come out again, handing an envelope to the maid on the left, and said to Jiao Shunnu: " Take this thing back and have a closer look——Okay, I'm a little tired, so you can step back."

What is so mysterious?

Jiao Shun took the envelope from the maid and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly kowtowed again, took two steps back on his knees, got up and exited the hall.

This time, he finally arrived outside the palace without any surprise or danger.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiao ordered the coachman to go straight home.

On the way, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and felt that he had to prepare for the worst in advance—in fact, given the current situation, even the worst possibility was already much better than what he had imagined at the beginning.

Although they all have to clear the emperor's side, the difficulty of dealing with the Supreme Emperor and dealing with a notorious prince is obviously very different.

In particular, King Zhongshun has always valued civility over martial arts and despised military generals. If it really comes to that point, there must be very few people in the three major camps who are willing to stand up for him.

With a group of literati alone, what kind of waves can there be in the face of force and righteousness?

Thinking about it this way, Jiao Shun felt a little eager to try.

However, he quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart. No matter what, the military strategy is the last resort.

Fortunately, I already have experience from the beginning of the year, so I can just pick up the gaps and make up for the gaps.

After suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he suddenly remembered the envelope given by Concubine Wu Guifei when he was parting, so he took it out curiously and opened it to have a look.

No more words all the way.

When he got home, seeing Shi Xiangyun teasing Xiao Zhixia, he took off his cloak, picked up his daughter and kissed her, and was about to feed her some snacks from the kang table when Shi Xiangyun slapped her away.

"Children should not eat too many snacks before meals."

As Shi Xiangyun said, he said with a frown: "In the afternoon, someone from the Rongguo Mansion was sent to ask the master to go to the mansion today and talk about it."

"In such a hurry?"

Jiao Shun asked casually, but he wasn't really surprised in his heart.

Hearing the gossip about Concubine Xiande, it would be strange for the Rongguo Mansion to sit still once they got the news - on the contrary, it was really speechless for them to receive the news so late.

However, because the delivery date is approaching, he will naturally not tell Shi Xiangyun the news, so Shi Xiangyun didn't think about it at all, but said hesitantly: "I guess it will be these few days, master, you say... in the end……"

Jiao Shun turned his head and glanced at her, rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't it be discussed a long time ago? I will ask Mrs. Xing to take the 1 taels of silver note, and I will take it with me."

Also because of the approaching delivery date, Shi Xiangyun only went to mourn Jia's mother twice a year and a year later, but he witnessed the farce of the long house and the second house fighting for inheritance, so he had a deeper understanding of the embarrassment of the Rongguo Mansion. learn.

After she came back, she tossed and turned restlessly, for fear that the trouble would end up causing an accident at the old lady's funeral.

Jiao Shun had seen her heart knot early on, and suggested at that time that if the Rongguo Mansion really couldn't turn around, the worst thing was to lend a sum of money to the Jia family.

"It's enough to take 7000 taels."

Xiangyun hurriedly said: "I have collected 3000 taels here..."

She is not a helper demon, so naturally she would not take it as a matter of course to use money from her husband's family to subsidize her natal relatives - if it weren't for the fact that Rongguo Mansion's hole was too big, she would definitely use her own money.

"To make up what?"

Jiao Shun waved his hand, and said unquestionably: "I can still pay for this amount of money - if it is not for the family to buy another house, it will not be a problem to pay more."

According to the agreement, it's time for Tanchun to go through the door this year, so she can't be allowed to live in the wing or the guest courtyard then, right?
After discussing with his parents, Jiao Shun decided to buy a secondary courtyard nearby and renovate it.

After finishing speaking, seeing Shi Xiangyun hesitated to speak, he pondered for a moment, then changed his words: "Come on, if you don't care about yourself, it seems that you won't be able to settle down in your heart. How about it, you take it." 1000 taels will come out, and 8000 taels will be withdrawn from the public account."

Shi Xiangyun was about to nod, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Then what about the remaining 1000 taels?"

Jiao Shun took it for granted: "Naturally let Sister Lin come out. Ever since the old lady passed away, she has been crying all day long. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have dressed up as a female doctor and went to Rongguo Mansion to express her condolences—now let me She pays 1000 taels, so she can somehow get some peace of mind."

Shi Xiangyun thought it was the same, and hurriedly asked Cuilu to take 1000 two bodies, and then sighed: "The person who the old lady was most sorry for was Sister Lin, but now she is also the one who is most sad."

"Why don't you say that being passionate is always suffering because of being ruthless?"

Jiao Shun stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, and said, "But whatever you want in your heart, don't hold it back, otherwise..."

Just as she was speaking, her nose was grabbed by her daughter's little hand.

He laughed, and said to Xiangyun in a soft voice: "This girl is with me, she is really strong."

"We know that Xia should follow Sister Xing."

Shi Xiangyun covered his mouth and laughed.

The two couples chatted a little more, Jiao got up and went to his parents' yard by the way, and discussed with Laiwang who just came back from the yamen, telling him not to go to work in the yamen for the time being.

The reason given clearly is that Shi Xiangyun's delivery date is approaching, but he has been very busy recently, and he is really worried that there is no serious head in the family. Besides, there are many subordinates around him now, so there is no need to let his own father follow him .

In fact, they are preparing for the retreat in secret.

If the time comes when he has to take a risky fight, his life and death will depend on his success or failure, but he must always find a way out for his wife, children, and children.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, he had already planned it. Shi Xiangyun's uncle is now the consul general in Europa, and the sea ships from Guangdong and Guangxi have already made their way in the past two years, and the danger has been greatly reduced.

If it really came to that situation, I would send my family to the south one step ahead of time.

The only problem is that Xiangyun's delivery date is approaching.

But no one can solve this matter, and now we can only take one step at a time, hoping that the situation will not develop too fast.

After discussing with his father, Jiao Shun drove to Peach Blossom Lane by himself.

Lin Daiyu heard that it was to alleviate the embarrassment of the Rongguo Mansion and prevent the old lady from having an accident, so she immediately rummaged through the box and prepared to dump everything.

Jiao Shun stopped her because she was talking about it, and only asked her to take out 1000 taels to make up a whole number.

Because there was no specific time agreed upon with Rongguo Mansion, Jiao Shun was ready to leave for the appointment after having dinner in Taohua Lane.

When parting, Lin Daiyu took out another letter and asked Jiao Shun to deliver it to Xue Baochai.

Since the reconnection, the communication between the two was either delivered with the help of Jiao Shun, or through the hands of Xue Baoqin. Just the government.

At the beginning, the two mainly discussed novels, but since the old lady passed away, the content of novels has decreased a lot, and they are more about reminiscing about the shadow days of the past.

It's just that sister Lin is just reminiscing, but sister Bao secretly regrets it.

Jiao Shun put the letter close to his body, touched something inadvertently, and then remembered that he forgot to put it away properly.

It would be too late to transfer back home, and it seems that they can only be taken to Rongguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Jiao Shun stretched out the object and tucked it in, jumped into the carriage and was about to whip the horse, but suddenly stopped in a daze.

"what happened?"

Lin Daiyu was holding her hands together and exhaling. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help wondering: "Could something have fallen?"

"No."

Jiao Shun came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "I just thought of something suddenly, it's all right, you can go back to the house quickly, don't catch the cold again."

As he spoke, he flicked the reins and drove slowly out of the alley.

While rushing towards the Rongguo Mansion, he secretly calculated in his heart that he had never had any intimate contact with Xue Baochai since the snowy farewell that day, and today is just a good opportunity...
