Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

“Wait and see what happens?”

When Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Zheng said, she suddenly stood up.

"Master, how could this be?"

Mrs. Wang didn't understand. Yuanchun was a noble concubine. Not to mention that this daughter of hers was the support of the family, she was also his own daughter. How could Jia Zheng watch the family ignore her? ?

"Ah~~"

Jia Zheng sighed. The matter was finally decided by the old lady. Of course, Jia Baoyu also contributed a lot to it, so he called Jia Baoyu over as well.

"This matter was decided by the old lady, and my elder brother and Baoyu also agreed. Let Baoyu tell you the specific details!"

Jia Zheng shook his head, his face showing a bit of vicissitudes.

As Yuanchun's father and a traditional man, he naturally did not want to stand idly by while his daughter was slandered like this. However, some things were not always what he imagined. It was not the best thing for the Jia family to contribute to this matter.

"Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with such a result, especially when she heard that Jia Baoyu was also involved.

"Mother!"

Jia Baoyu took a step forward and sighed in his heart. His father already knew the whole story, but he still called him over in the end.

After a short pause, Jia Baoyu sorted out his thoughts and slowly said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, this matter of my elder sister may involve the harem. How to deal with it will involve the royal family. It is not appropriate for the palace to intervene."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes narrowed. She knew more about the affairs of the rear quarters than Jia Baoyu did. When she heard Jia Baoyu say that it might involve the six palaces, she instantly thought of many things.

"Baoyu, do you mean that what happened to the queen was done by those people in the harem?"

In fact, Jia Baoyu still cannot be completely sure who did this. Naturally, those people in the harem cannot be completely ruled out, and even the person on the dragon throne cannot be completely ruled out.

"uncertain."

Jia Baoyu did not deny this guess, and then he continued: "I have carefully considered the situation that elder sister is facing now, and there are three possible situations."

Mrs. Wang's brows had unconsciously furrowed. After hearing Jia Baoyu say there were three possibilities, she became somewhat confused.

Jia Yuanchun is a noble concubine, why do so many people miss her?
"The first is what mother guessed. You should know more about the affairs of the imperial court than I do. I will not explain this one any more."

"The second possibility is that the royal family is right. The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Although the princes rebelled this time, our family did not commit any taboos. Many people in the capital have deserted the battlefield. If the royal family investigates in the future, they will definitely settle the score."

At this point, Jia Baoyu shook his head in his heart. The matter of deserting in the face of a battle was something that his family had considered before. Fortunately, both the Lin Family and the Marquis Family came over and explained it in detail later. Otherwise, this item alone would have been a disaster that would have led to the destruction of the family.

Hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed with a strange look, and her expression became a little unnatural. To be honest, according to her original idea, she had planned to send some people away. Perhaps Jia Baoyu was thinking about other things and did not notice the strangeness in Mrs. Wang's expression. After a moment of silence, Jia Baoyu began to talk about the third situation.

"The third possibility is that it was done by those princes."

After careful consideration, he continued, "The position of the crown prince is still undecided. After the rebellion of Prince Dongping, the court has been severely damaged. If those princes are really interested in that position, they will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

When Jia Baoyu talked about the last situation, he looked very serious. If the facts were really as he expected, the third situation, then something big would probably happen in the capital.

He was not clear about the current troop deployment in the capital, but as for the previous battles, the King of Dongping had deployed a large number of thunder bombs on the battlefield. With the addition of this powerful weapon, the casualties caused by the war were unpredictable.

It was rumored that more than half of the troops in the camp outside the capital were lost, and more than half of the Imperial Guards were also lost. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was also completely wiped out.

In addition to these troops, there is also the Five-Gate Military Governor's Office, the border troops that come to provide support, and a small number of private armed forces in the capital.

It can be said that the capital city today is unprecedentedly weak in both city defense and internal defense. Many places cannot even be defended. All armies are recuperating because each unit has a huge number of casualties from the fighting and no longer has the energy to stay stationed and patrol.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were a prince and had ambitions for that position, this would be the best opportunity to take action.

Of course, if he had not gone so crazy, his target would not be the emperor, but his brother. Before that, it would definitely be a good choice to try to find out what was happening inside and outside the palace.

"Baoyu, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. If those people outside know about it, you will lose your head! !"

Mrs. Wang suddenly stood up and spoke hurriedly.

After saying this, she glanced in the direction of the door and the window. It was obvious that this grandmother, who had once been in charge of the household, knew the situation in her own house. If those servants were not restrained, this matter would probably become a citywide uproar the next day.

"It doesn't matter. I won't delve into the last case. I'll just mention it briefly!"

Jia Zheng was drinking tea on the side. When he was in Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng and his mother were more inclined to the last situation mentioned by Jia Baoyu.

The probability that those princes had done this was very high. Through Yuanchun, they also learned a lot about the affairs of the harem. The emperor has not been obsessed with women in recent years. Even the queen sometimes stays alone in her empty room. It is rumored that the queen is the successor and is as beautiful as a flower, better than a fairy. Compared with her, Yuanchun, the imperial concubine, is not good enough. If the queen is like this, she, a imperial concubine, will not be envied.

As for the second option, as Jia Baoyu said, the reason is weak, and judging from the current situation, it would be too hasty to take action against the Jia family just after the rebellion has been put down. If it provokes a counterattack from the noble group at this time, the gain will outweigh the loss.

So in the end, the third situation is the most likely one. A rumor, whether it is Emperor Ming Kang, or the Jia family, as well as the Lin family and the Hou family behind the Jia family, the troop movements in the palace can reflect something.

In this way, the wind will not be far away.

“Killing three birds with one stone!!!”
