Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 519 Rongguo Mansion

Qin Shun respectfully took the hand metaphor written by Jia Rui, then bowed his body and bowed out.

After Qin Shun left, Old Li came to Jia Rui and reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, I am afraid that no one among the officials at all levels in the capital would dare to take in Princess Gongshun."

"What do you mean?"

Lao Li took a step back and said respectfully: "From what I see, I am afraid that only the Rongguo Mansion would dare to do this."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard the words Rong Guofu, and then his face became serious. He returned to his throne and knocked on the table with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Send your people to monitor Rongguo Mansion to see if the pair of traitors have really escaped to Rongguo Mansion."

Lao Li quickly bowed, then bowed and left to make arrangements.

Where are the respectful princess and the second prince now?

Lao Li really guessed it, and they have now escaped to Rongguo Mansion.

It turned out that after they came out of the tunnel, they were a little confused because they didn't know where to go.

Moreover, the capital was heavily guarded, where could the two of them escape to?

In the end, Princess Gongshen decided to go to Rongguo Mansion to take shelter.

Because the Rongguo Mansion was able to survive back then, it was all because of their obedience to the Prince's Mansion. Now that the Prince Gongshun's Mansion is in trouble, if the Rongguo Mansion turns its back and refuses to recognize anyone, no one will really dare to deal with their family.

In fact, if the respectful princess had a better way, she would never take such a risky move. The main reason is that now they are at the end of their rope and have no other choice.

Therefore, after they came out of the small courtyard, they sneaked to the back door of Gong Rongguo Mansion while avoiding the soldiers from the infantry commander's office patrolling the city.

When they got here they kept knocking on the door.

The boy who opened the door opened the door impatiently and stuck his head out. When he saw a man and a woman, he muttered unhappily:
"What time is it? Come knock on the door. Don't you know if it's earlier?"

Princess Gongshun quickly stepped forward with a smile and put one of her rings into the other person's hand.

The boy took the ring, glanced at it, and realized that it was a valuable thing, and his face immediately became full of smiles.

"Madam, what can I do for you?"

"I want to see the old lady of your house, please let me know." After saying this, Princess Shun handed a silver medal to the boy's hand.

This kid got someone else's things, so he naturally had to do things for them. Soon the news of the silver medal and someone's request to see the old lady spread to Rongqing Hall.

At this time, the old lady Jia Mu had already gone to bed, and the mother-in-law and maid outside naturally did not dare to disturb him. The old man could only spread the news to Yuanyang first.

Yuanyang looked at the silver medal in his hand and was stunned for a moment.

This silver medal is the waist badge of Prince Gongshun's Palace, and is the identity certificate of Prince Gongshun's second son.

But at this time, why did the second prince, who was submissive to the palace, ask to see their old lady?
Yuanyang held the silver medal and stroked it for a long time, and finally decided to inform Jia Mu.

Yuanyang took the silver medal to Jia Mu's bedroom and knocked gently on the door. Soon the door was opened from the inside and a maid who was accompanying her poked her head out.

When the maid saw that it was a mandarin duck, she immediately said a respectful blessing.

"Sister Yuanyang, it's already this time. Do you have anything to do with the old lady?"

"Go wake up the old lady and tell her that someone wants to see you." After saying this, Yuanyang also handed the silver medal in his hand to the maid.

Those who can serve Jia Mu are smart people. After receiving the silver medal, she understood what was going on, so she quickly closed the door and went to the inner room where Jia Mu slept.

When he came to Babu's bed, he gently called out to Babu's bed: "Sister."

A young maid immediately replied in a low voice: "Is something wrong?" "Sister Yuanyang sent something, saying that someone outside asked to see the old lady."

After saying this, the maid stuffed the silver medal through the gap.

In fact, when the two of them were talking, Jia Mu was already awake.

After all, Jia Mu is old and sleeps lightly.

"What's going on?" Jia Mu asked angrily while lying on the bed.

The maid who was waiting in the bed at any time came to the bed at this time holding a silver medal.

"Old lady, Sister Yuanyang sent a silver medal, saying that someone asked to see you, and this silver medal is a token."

As soon as Jia Mu heard Yuanyang's name, she didn't dare to neglect him.

Mother Jia reached out to take the silver medal, and then asked the maid to light the lamp. She looked at the silver medal in her hand carefully under the light, and was a little surprised.

At this time, why did the second prince of Dongshun Palace come to their Rongguo Palace?
Although her mind was full of questions, Jia Mu still put on her clothes and came outside.

At this time, the door of the room had been opened, and Yuanyang came in from the outside and personally served Jia Mu to dress.

After everything was cleared up, Jia Mu asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Go back to the old lady. The boy guarding the door outside only said that there is a woman and a young man asking to see you. They don't know the details."

Jia Mu pondered for a moment, and then thought, since she was already up, she might as well meet her.

"Then call them in."

Following Jia Mu's order, the doors of Rongguo Mansion were opened, and then Princess Gongshun and the second prince were invited to Rongqing Hall.

After entering Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu looked under the light and was shocked. It turned out that the person who walked in first was none other than Princess Gongshun.

But now the respectful princess is in a very embarrassed state, her clothes are extremely dirty, and there is even dust on her face.

"What do you mean? Why do you look like this?" Jia Mu stood up and asked anxiously.

Princess Gongshun did not answer immediately, but glanced at the people around Jia Mu.

Jia Mu immediately understood that something was wrong.

So Jia Mu waved her hand and sent away all the maids around her, leaving Yuanyang alone by her side.

But at this time, Princess Gongshun still didn't speak, but looked at Yuanyang.

Jia Mu understood what was going on. She was worried about Yuanyang.

However, Jia's mother did not let Yuanyang leave, because Yuanyang was now Jia Rui's woman, and Princess Gongshun came so late, something big must have happened, and in this case, she couldn't carry Jia Rui on her back.

So Jia Mu pretended not to see it.

Seeing this situation, Princess Gongshen knew that Yuanyang could not leave, so she simply broke the pot and knelt down in front of Jia Mu.

"Old lady, you have to save our mother and son!"

"What do you mean by this? Yuanyang, help the princess up quickly."

Yuanyang stepped forward to help Princess Gongshun. In fact, Princess Gongshun didn't really want to kneel to Jia Mu. When she saw Yuanyang coming to help her, she stood up.
