Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 446 The Complicated Relationship Between the Royal Family, Winning over Lin Ruhai
"Now there are only two of us left in the house~"

In the Wutong Garden, Cailuan looked at the beautiful Taoist nun in the house, and she was quite embarrassed in her words.

In other words, after Jia Gong left, the Marquis Mansion gradually became deserted, and Xiang Ling and Qin Keqing were stuffed beside Jia Gong by them, and they went to sea together.

Xichun, who couldn't stay idle, heard that Yuanchun was going to visit her relatives and build some kind of garden, so she ran back, euphemistically calling it to supervise the work, but Cailuan and the others knew that it was probably mostly for fun.

But since Jia Ju and Daiyu broke up the verbal engagement, the little girl seemed to have unburdened herself, and she became smiling every day.

The fun-loving temperament at this age is gradually exposed. If there is nothing wrong with the house, she will drag her little maid and Qingwen around.

"Xiaoyue is here~"

Cailuan looked unloved, raised her head and lay down on the bed in Miaoyu's room.

"That little girl is different~"

"By the way, last time you told me that I can't leave, why?? I'm really bored to death at home!!"

Cailuan stared at the top of the bed with eyes as black as lacquer, and asked with some doubts.

Miaoyu sighed.

"When he goes out on business, there must be two people left in the house, so as to reassure the people above. Originally, Miss Lin from Lin's mansion had something to do with him, so she was the most suitable person, but what happened now, the hostage But it's unqualified!"

"As for the others, Miss Xichun is probably not enough by herself, so only you and I are added, and this is barely enough!"

Hearing Miaoyu's explanation, Cailuan frowned. Didn't the emperor already know Jia Gong's identity? ?Why do you have to do these things.

"No! This time, after Lord Hou comes back, I'm afraid he can no longer be called Lord Hou, but a prince!"

"That thing may not have much effect on us, but if it is really as he said, this credit is enough to feed the millions of Li people in Dakang, and it is also enough to make the royal family seal again!"

When Cailuan heard this, she didn't seem to be much moved, she just asked softly: "Will that affect whether we stay or not?"

"Do you think the emperor is really so relieved that he will leave??"

Cailuan was taken aback, Miaoyu, what does this mean?
Jia Jun had told her about this before, but he had no interest in taking that seat.

Miaoyu shook her head with a smile, beckoned to her, and then pushed the bowl of tea in her hand to the opposite position.

"Sister, have you ever heard a saying, my heart is for the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch!"

Cailuan got up from the bed, frowning.

"Sister means"

Miao Yu smiled and shook her head.

"My sister thinks that after the emperor knows the identity of Lord Hou, he will trust him even more?"

Cailuan nodded subconsciously.

Miaoyu sighed lightly.

"Then sister, has she ever thought that if he goes to rebel now, will there still be any injustice?"

Cailuan was taken aback for a moment.

It is true that if Jia Guan rebelled at this time, ascended to the top, and then presented a lot of evidence to prove his identity, then things would definitely not be the same as before.

They are all members of the Chu royal family, and they are still a prince, so it's just an ordinary succession of the throne.

"So, compared to before, the relationship between the emperor and him is actually more complicated. On the one hand, he doesn't want to move, after all, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its offspring; on the other hand, he has to guard against it, because he performed so well and is very He is outstanding, he has the credit for expanding the territory, and he has an iron cavalry that can threaten the capital, if such a person turns against him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"So those of us who are closest to him are a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip to reassure the emperor. If I'm not wrong, there will be someone secretly protecting Miss Xichun when she is outside!"

"That's why I said before that the two of us had better stay!"

Hearing this, Cailuan lay down on the table as if someone had her bones pulled out.

It took three or four months at least for Jia Gong to leave this time. Since when she and Jia Gong had been separated for so long since they met, this was really a torment for her.

Even if Dabai and the others took her to find someone, it would be useless. Long before Jia Jun left, she had heard from the other party that the place was far away from Dakang, and there were seas everywhere. Dabai is a vulture, not a god. It doesn't matter if there is a place to rest on the way, but the key is that there may not be a place to rest on the way, so he went to Jinmengang just in case.

"Sister, once he leaves, I feel like I have nothing to do!"

Miaoyu smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. If my sister is really in a hurry, why not go to Rongguo Mansion for a stroll. With Miss Xichun taking her with you, nothing will happen!"

Cailuan chuckled.

"Too lazy to go, since he left, let's keep our house quiet! Anyway, it was already noisy enough a while ago!"

Having said that, Cailuan couldn't help shaking her head again.

To be honest, during the days when they returned to Beijing, the whole Hou Mansion hardly stopped, almost every two or three days, which was really too high-profile.

At sunset on the western mountain, in the Daming Palace and the imperial study, an urgent memorial of [-] miles was delivered to Emperor Mingkang's desk.

There was a severe drought in Shandong, and there was no harvest. A large number of people went north with their families to flee famine.

The most embarrassing thing for the imperial court today is food. There is still a lot of money in the treasury, most of which are obtained from wars, but the food is almost clean.

"Dai Quan, Xuan Wang Xiren, Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Household Department, Minister of the Ministry of War, come together!"

Emperor Mingkang didn't hesitate too much, he had already expected something like this in his heart.

Every year in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, such a situation may occur, but I didn't expect it to come so early this year.

"Xu Yuantu!!"

After standing for a while, Emperor Mingkang spoke again.

A black shadow flashed out from behind the pillar again.

"How's the investigation on Chu Xuan's affairs?"

Xu Yuantu hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Most of the former ministers of the Supreme Emperor's lineage have taken refuge with the Fifth Prince. Judging from the information received so far, the other party seems to intend to win over Lord Lin Ruhai by means of marriage~"

Hearing this, Emperor Mingkang couldn't help narrowing his eyes. Chu Xuan was too young to understand Zang Feng. With the support of those people, he acted so recklessly on weekdays that he didn't even need to look carefully to find out the clues.

This group of people had quite a appetite, so they actually came up with Lin Ruhai's idea.

"Understood, how is the preparation for this year's imperial examination?"

"ready"
