Chapter 184

On this day, Daiyu was tidying up the storeroom at home, when she saw Xueyan happily running over, followed by Wang Xifeng's maid, Xiaohong.

"Greetings to my wife, Second Grandma Lian sent me to report to you that our grandma gave birth to a son safely, and the mother and child are safe."

"Great, Xueyan quickly took out the prepared gift and let Xiaohong take it back later. You go back and tell Sister Feng that it's not convenient for me to go there recently, and I will definitely go to see her when I have time."

"Ma'am, our grandma knows that it's inconvenient for you, and she specifically told you not to let you go, so as not to cause any trouble."

Seeing Xiaohong hesitated to speak, Lin Daiyu knew that something must have happened in Jia's house, and asked, "But what happened again?"

Xiao Hong said: "These words should not be told to the wife, but our grandma is afraid that the wife will not know, I am afraid it is not good, let me tell you. The second master Bao was beaten by the master because he was related to the escape of the loyal prince's actor Qiguan. Pause. At this time, the old lady and the wife are busy with the second master Bao's affairs."

Lin Daiyu said in her heart that this child came at a really bad time, just as the phoenix eggs of Jia's mansion were suffering, and she didn't know what kind of rumors were going to spread.

"Madam, Second Master Bao is a big man, why is he still so disrespectful. No one in the capital knows that Qi Guan is the favorite of Prince Zhongshun, how dare he provoke King Zhongshun."

Seeing that Xueyan was still so outspoken, Daiyu said angrily: "Shut up, can we discuss this matter? If you do this again, I will really punish you."

Xueyan also knew that she had said something wrong, so she stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me, I won't dare again."

Seeing Xueyan's funny look, Daiyu was also amused by her.

"Yu'er, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Wang Zhanjun walked in and asked Lin Daiyu who was smiling.

"See Lord Hou." Xueyan saluted Wang Zhanjun.

"Let's talk about the second brother Lian's child. Sister Feng asked Xiaohong to report the news. In the early morning, sister Feng gave birth to a boy. Now the second brother Lian has both sons and daughters." Daiyu said with a smile on her face. Showed a look of envy.

"It's a good thing. When are you going to congratulate her?"

Daiyu frowned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. This child came at a bad time. Baoyu was beaten just now. I'm afraid he really doesn't deserve to be seen."

"Even if Baoyu hadn't been beaten, the child would not be welcome."

Looking at Wang Zhanjun's disdainful eyes, Daiyu felt powerless for a while.Jia Baoyu is such an old man, but he still plays around in the inner house all day long, not thinking about making progress.Everyone can see that Jia Baoyu's so-called fortune has become the biggest joke in the world.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang invested too much in Jia Baoyu, and they were unwilling to lose all their money.The only way is to get Jia Baoyu a title.

Watching the royal family members who made great achievements in the investigation of corruption and were knighted by the emperor.Jia's mansion unexpectedly wanted to use this method to give Jia Baoyu a title.If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's refusal and Jia Yuanchun's stop, Jia's house would have been ransacked long ago.

I really don't know what kind of evil Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang have fallen into, and they dare to do anything for Jia Baoyu.Wang Zhanjun suspects that this is some kind of trick behind the scenes by Fairy Jing Huan. Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain that Jia Mu, a lady who has seen the world, would do such a thing.

"Yu'er, if you don't want to, you'd better not go to Jia's mansion."

Daiyu asked, "Why?"

Before Wang Zhanjun could answer, he heard the bell ringing, and he was taken aback. The death knell sounded. Is this the death of the Supreme Emperor?

Daiyu glanced at Wang Zhanjun and understood why he said that.Immediately afterwards she stood up and said: "The Supreme Emperor has passed away, so I have to go to the palace to cry immediately. Xueyan, quickly take out the plain clothes, Ting Lan, ask someone to prepare the car and sedan chair."

For a while, the officials and eunuchs in the capital were very busy, packed up and hurried into the palace.

The emperor passed away, and at the same time the whole city was under martial law, and officials were everywhere to investigate.

After entering the palace, it is also heavily guarded, with imperial guards on duty everywhere.

The emperor's mausoleum, coffins, etc. are all ready, just follow the rules, and the mountain on the emperor's head is removed, so he ordered the world: no feast and music for one year in the family of nobles and officials, and no marriage for half a year.

Civil and military officials and their relatives have to cry for the emperor. They enter the palace at five o'clock every day and return when they light up the lamp. Every time they come back, they are extremely exhausted.

At the same time, there was also a lot of turmoil around the capital, and people who couldn't see the situation clearly followed suit.

Wang Zhanjun was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be retaliated by those people, so he asked Daiyu to take him over.

"Father, things outside are too chaotic, you have to pay attention to your safety." Daiyu knew that many people in the capital hated Lin Ruhai for what he had done these years, and was afraid that they would target the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai said: "Don't worry, Yu'er, the sage is extremely resourceful, and has already sent someone to wait for him, but if there is trouble during the time of national filial piety, no matter whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, they will all be detained."

"Father-in-law, don't be careless. I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. You should stay at the mansion."

The two mansions are close to each other, the reason why Lin Ruhai didn't want to come and live here was because of Lin Daiyu's reputation.Looking at Daiyu's worried face at this time, he did not persist.

Sure enough, as Wang Zhanjun expected, someone really took the opportunity to take revenge on Lin Ruhai and sent people to Lin's house to assassinate him.Fortunately, Wang Zhanjun was well prepared, and trained several guards over the years, and captured these people and sent them to the government.

After about seven or eight days, the ban on the streets began to be lifted.

However, the defenses in the palace are still very strict, and a lot of manpower has been increased.There are also many checkpoints set up at the gates of the capital to interrogate passers-by.Anyone who has doubts, as long as they are discovered, cannot escape a prison sentence.

When the common people saw such a situation, they would hide and walk away, and they basically stayed away from those key areas on weekdays.This is the imperial power society. The common people are accustomed to such things, and there is no great turmoil.If it were placed in modern society, it would have been a mess long ago.

The officials in the capital also had a clear understanding of the strength in the hands of the emperor.The emperor cultivated such a great power when he was silent.In fact, this is not surprising, the emperor has been on the throne for nearly ten years, how could he not have loyal people in his hands.That is to say, the Supreme Emperor is alive, and the hole cards in the emperor's hand are not easy to bring out.

In the end, the emperor imprisoned the two princes and arrested several aristocratic families before the turmoil subsided.This time, the emperor saw that the emperor had just passed away, so he didn't go into it too deeply, and the four princes and eight princes escaped.Especially the Jia family, when they bet on both ends, those two princes were the key betting targets of the Jia family, and Jia Yuanchun even prepared them for them.

Just when people thought that the emperor would stop for a while, and the emperor was a little complacent, an urgent message from [-] miles away dropped another bomb on the calm capital.
