The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian interrupted him and asked. The hospital was shivering in panic, "I still need diagnosis and treatment."

Yuan Chun heard that he was standing unsteadily, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor?"

Even the imperial doctor did not dare to speak. Jia Lian went straight to ask the imperial physician Wang, "Please tell the truth, sir, how is the emperor's situation now?"

Imperial Doctor Wang shook his head gently: "The emperor's condition is extremely dangerous. I don't know what poison is in the emperor, so I can't prescribe the right medicine."

Jia Lian asked: "You just said how did you get the poison, did you eat it, or touched it next to each other?"

Imperial Physician Wang snapped off a few beards, gritted his teeth and concluded, "Based on my years of experience, it should be taken orally."

Jia Lian didn't hesitate, and said to Yuan Chun: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor's food goes from the imperial dining room to the imperial front. If anyone passes by, please ask: They will all be arrested and tortured. Be sure to ask the truth!"

Yuan Chun nodded, "Do it quickly!"

After speaking, it was as if he had exhausted his strength. Jia Lian and Yao Niang supported her from left to right. Jia Lian persuaded: "The queen mother is worry-free, as long as you find out what poison you are in, the imperial physicians will have a way!"

After a while, after hearing the news, they rushed to the nine ministers of the six departments of the cabinet, all with solemn expressions, and a few of them glared at Jia Lian angrily. , The emperor's illness was caused by the unclean food. I have obtained the consent of the Empress Dowager and ordered people to arrest all the people in the royal dining room. I asked the Ministry of Punishment Gao, the Supreme Court, Zhang, and Dali Temple Mu. The adults will try together, and only if the cause is found out immediately, the Taiyuan Hospital can prescribe the right medicine, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Saying that, he gave a deep bow, "Please everyone!"

Yao Niang followed suit and saluted, "The emperor's safety, this palace will ask you all!"

All the ministers dared not. Immediately, dozens of people were brought out of the Nuan Pavilion, the three judicial divisions went out to interrogate, and the other ministers followed. Yuanchun grabbed Jia Lian's hand, "Come with me!"

Jia Lian bowed to support her and walked to the other side of the fasting room. Yuanchun ordered the others to go out, leaving only Jia Lian inside. She sat on the couch and said with a serious face: "There are only you and my brother and sister here. Man, tell me the truth, today's incident, and the emperor's illness, are all related to you?"

Jia Lian stared blankly at Yuan Chun: "Why even you doubt me?"

Yuan Chun snorted coldly and said: "Such a big thing, except for you in the palace, can do it."

Jia Lian called Qu Dao: "My good sister, brother and I, even if I have the courage, it is impossible for me to do such a depraved thing!"

Yuan Chun didn't listen to him, "Don't say this before, I only listen to the truth!"

Jia Lian pondered for a while before saying: "The truth is actually nothing different from what my sister knows. The only thing I have to hide is that I knew early on that the emperor wanted to deal with me. Injustice, I think that the first emperor killed him, and he will take revenge on the emperor. Shuiron once told me that he has an inner partner in the palace. So"

"So you let the water dissolve into the poison"

Yuan Chun shouted, "You are so brave!"

"elder sister!"

Jia Lian spread his hands and said: "What do you want me to do? I had no basis and no basis at that time, and told the emperor that he hated me! Tell my sister what you can do. Only when the water dissolves them and kills them, can the emperor believe me. But what I didn't expect was that the emperor was actually deceived and held hostage by the water solution, and made me throw a rat."

Yuan Chun looked at Jia Lian, but didn't speak for a long time. Jia Lian also stood aside and stood with his hands down. After a long time, Yuan Chun sighed, "Do you know that what you just said is enough to kill everyone! You are bullying The emperor is still young, still relying on my sister, you are simply out of control!"

Jia Lian said: "Sister, how can I be lawless, if I hadn't turned the tide a few times, the first emperor would have been abolished long ago, and the emperor would be the emperor."

"shut up!"

Yuanchun hurriedly stopped. Jia Lian laughed at himself: "The so-called "birds hide their bows, rabbits die and dogs cook", it's me."

Yuan Chun shook his head, his voice full of exhaustion: "Brother Lian, no matter how well you cover up, you won't be able to deceive those people outside."

Jia Lian still has to explain. He just listened to Yuan Chun: "If the emperor can't support this, who do you want to be enthroned?"

Jia Lian said: "Naturally it is the crown prince who ascends the throne."

Yuan Chun sneered: "Prince, you are not afraid that the prince will grow up, it's still like this"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Sister, what do I want the power to do? When the prince grows up and takes charge of the government, I'll be idle for a long time."

Just as she was talking, My Lady opened the door and came in. She glanced at Jia Lian with a worried look, and hurriedly said to Yuan Chun: "Empress mother, the minister has finished the interrogation. It turned out that the emperor's own wine was mixed with something, the imperial physicians It was said that they couldn't be mixed together. It turned out to be like this."

Yuan Chun was stunned, "What else did the imperial doctor say?"

Yao Niang whispered with Jia Lian'. "Ah, I heard that this thing in wine is not commonly used, and there are only a few pharmacies in Shenjing that sell it. At this moment, Mr. Xiao Ge and Mr. Fu of Jingzhao House went to arrest people."

Yuan Chun said softly, "Empress, help me out."

Yao Niang stepped forward to support her. When they walked to the door, Yuan Chun patted Yao Niang's hand, "Son, the emperor is in danger this time, you have to prepare yourself. After all, you still have a body. worthy of the king"

Yao Niang hurriedly lowered her head, but her eyes couldn't help but float to Jia Lian again. In the Nuan Pavilion, the ministers and imperial physicians looked at the unconscious little emperor on the bed worriedly. No one spoke. Jia Lian stood silently. Beside Yuan Chun, there were several unkind eyes on Jia Lian on the opposite side. The imperial physicians went in and out, and some still had old medical books in their hands, and there was no conclusion. One hour passed. Two hours passed. Finally, the great scholar Xiao Yan and the governor of the Jingzhao government, Fu Shi, rushed back. After seeing Yuanchun and Yaoniang, many people were asking for the result. The senior scholar Xiao bowed his hands to them: "Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! We have already found the place, But it is related to the Beijing Palace."

"Ah it's true"

The people who were still staring at Jia Lian just now began to curse the poor King Beijing. The matter has been investigated, but the emperor has not woken up. Seeing the night fall, Yuanchun ordered the cabinet to be on duty and let the others disperse. Jia Lian came out of Daming Palace , standing on the steps and watching the fading sunset on the horizon. Tomorrow should be a sunny day. The almanac says that it should be buried and dressed.

Chapter [*] The Little Emperor in the Infant

On the next day, the little emperor's condition suddenly worsened, and the imperial physicians were helpless. It was delayed until evening, and my wife was surprised to see the little emperor wake up faintly, and she looked around in panic to find Jia Lian. The little emperor said drowsily: "Is there Mr. Zhang Ge in the cabinet? I have something important to ask!"

"Um!"

Yao Niang suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said to the servant next to her: "Go and call Prince Rongyang, the emperor will announce him!"

The little emperor was shocked and said: "I declare the chief assistant of the cabinet"

Immediately after a violent cough, Yao Niang got up, twisted her handkerchief, and walked back and forth in front of the little emperor's couch, thinking that if you haven't come, you must not let the cabinet members arrive first! The little emperor called: "I to drink water"

Mistress Yao turned a deaf ear and looked at the door worriedly. There was no maid in the palace. The little emperor was lying on the imperial couch, and his breath gradually weakened. It was too late for Mistress to let anyone stop her, so she watched them come to the warm pavilion, and then put down the gauze curtain in front of the couch. After kneeling and worshipping, the little emperor's eyes lit up, "Zhu Qing, please come forward."

But he was too weak and his voice was too low. Several ministers looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor had to say. My mother became anxious and hurriedly ordered: "Give a seat to a few gentlemen!"

The eunuch Qiu below had his seat placed farther away. The little emperor looked at the girl angrily: "Bitch, are you going to rebel too?"

Yao Niang was so frightened that her soul flew away, but she pretended to be calm, "The emperor said, a few gentlemen are fortunate!"

Zhang Maoqing hurriedly stood up and said, "The ministers should be loyal to their duties, and they should not be lucky!"

The little emperor became more and more angry and wanted to sit up. Afraid that he would say something unfavorable to Jia Lian, Niang Yao sat on the edge of the couch, hesitated for a while, and put her hand on the little emperor's chest, just to prevent him from getting up. "Your Majesty, your health is not yet well, the imperial doctor said that you should take a good rest."

The little emperor said angrily: "Bitch, I will abolish you!"

Yao Niang trembled, blocking the emperor and turning her head to several ministers: "The emperor said that he will entrust you with state affairs!"

Zhang Maoqing waited and knelt down again, "I have done my best, and I will die!"

The little emperor struggled several times, but his body was weak, and he collapsed. He seemed to be exhausted with only a little strength. He blushed, "Bitch, so you and that Jia Lian are in trouble! Why didn't I find out! hate!"

But his voice could only be heard clearly when Yaoniang was very close to him. Yaoniang wanted to cover his mouth, but she couldn't do that in front of the ministers. She looked at the door, why didn't she come and hold it down If the little emperor is in trouble, he will move. "The emperor said that this time Niu Jizong and Niu Jizong were traitors, why didn't I find out, I hate it!"

Jia Shouzhong persuaded: "Go back to the emperor, the three judicial divisions have concluded the trial, Niu Jizong and Shui Rong are conspiring against them, and the traitorous party will also be punished. The emperor does not need to be too concerned about this.

The little emperor was so overwhelmed by Mi Niang that his eyes began to dim. When Mi Niang saw him like this, she was in a hurry, and the little emperor coughed again as if he had been reborn. "I'm going to kill you!

Yao Niang didn't dare to look him in the eyes, "The emperor said, I want to kill them!"

Zhang Maoqing and others said, "The ministers and others sincerely obey the imperial decree!"

The little emperor seemed to have given up, no longer struggling, and looked up at the top with empty eyes. Yaoniang called out: "Emperor, Emperor!"

Suddenly, the little emperor stretched out his hand, used all his strength, and shouted, "Jia Lian harmed me!"

Yao Niang was shocked, and quickly covered his mouth and pressed him down. "Your Majesty, you rest first, and your concubine will tell Master Zhang and the others!"

The little emperor's forehead was bruised, and in a panic, Yaoniang grabbed the wound on the little emperor's hand, and the little emperor immediately widened her eyes. Yaoniang said anxiously: "Okay, I'll tell you about my concubine."

She turned her head to the cabinet minister and said, "The emperor said, it is water that harms me!"

Then he added another sentence: "Jia Lian is a loyal minister!"

My wife was in front of me, and Elder Zhang and the others were still kneeling on the ground. They didn't scream, so naturally they couldn't find the abnormality on the imperial couch. They kowtowed and said, "I'll keep this in mind!"

The little emperor was speechless and looked fiercely at the girl, who was trembling with fear, the more she was afraid, the tighter her hand became, until the little emperor straightened up and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. She finally let go of her hand in fear. The little emperor's eyes have been fixed on just now, and his body has softened. Yao Niang almost stood up and ran away, but her legs were weak, and she called out in a trembling voice: "Emperor!"

He pushed it lightly. There was no response, only a pair of wide eyes looked at the world with nostalgia. My mother was lying on top of him unconsciously, and tears of fear or regret wet the brocade mattress. Zhang Ge and the others felt that something was wrong, so they were busy behind the curtain and cupped their hands: "Empress Empress, what's wrong with the emperor, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

Jia Shouzhong got up and was about to go to the imperial doctor. Niang Yao was woken up by them, before wiping away the tears from her face, "No need. The emperor said he was too tired and wanted to rest. Let us all go down."

Myo Niang's face was pale, she stretched out her hand to try under the little emperor's nose, and hurriedly retracted. She gritted her teeth and wanted to close the little emperor's eyes, but she tried several times, but she didn't dare. His eyes saw the darkness in her heart, leaving her nowhere to escape. The concubine really couldn't do it! She cried silently to the inside. Zhang Ge waited to get up and slowly left the warm pavilion. Eunuch Chou Bowing behind the curtain, please say: "Queen Empress"

Yao Niang immediately shouted: "Go out! Don't disturb the emperor's rest."

At this time, she took out the handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of the little emperor's mouth, and finally plucked up the courage to close his eyes. She was the only one in the warm pavilion. She looked at him quietly, using only her own ability The audible voice said: "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine body. The concubine body has no way to let you hurt him. After all, he is the father of my child. You can scold the concubine body for not being shameful, but do you know if it is not? He, I have long since died. I can also be regarded as a promise."

A red cloud appeared on her face. "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you never cared about me at all. If it wasn't for him, I would not have been able to become the queen. Since he gave my life and the queen, then I only have Leave your throne to his son."

"Your Majesty, the concubine is truly unforgivable. In the future, I will also go underground and let you deal with the concubine. The concubine has no complaints. God's will has made people, and the concubine has accepted her fate."

Mistress gradually calmed down, and she just kept watch until an hour later, she exclaimed loudly: "Your Majesty! Why did you just go like this! What should I do with my concubine and the emperor?"

The Daming Palace was once again covered with white flags. The ministers were crying. The first assistant, Zhang Maoqing, announced the will, and my wife took the throne in the arms of the still-infant crown prince. The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager Xiaowen. All funeral ceremonies have their own rules and are too busy to describe in detail.

Chapter [*] Where did Jia Lian go?

At that critical moment, where did Jia Lian go, if it wasn't for the Mistress, the current empress dowager would make a big mess. But Jia Lian didn't explain. The father-in-law committed suicide in his own room, and Yuanchun ordered a burial. But when Mistress Yao was about to send Concubine Niu and Concubine Shui, there was news that they were pregnant. I just heard that the Empress Dowager looked bad for many days, and finally the Empress Dowager was relieved, and she resumed the concubine title of Niu Shui and the Empress Dowager. Besides, Jia Lian and Yang Jihe said that the mountain tomb had been completed. And Xing said with a smile: "I originally wanted you to start with the five-rank service, and then rise step by step, so that people will not gossip. But you changed your mind again, and you don't want to be an official anymore. "

Yang Jihe tossed his sleeves, and then put his hands behind his back, "Your Highness, I am an idle person. I am valued by Your Highness and advise me by my side. In fact, I don't want to do anything, I have beauties and money, so what else should I do? Guan'er, it's good to see people's faces now. Although I don't have an official title, people in the capital all know that I am the master of King Rongyang. At a glance. As the saying goes, the prime minister's concierge is a five-rank official, and that's enough! Besides..., if the emperor dies, the prince will hurriedly confer an official title on me, then it is not clear that it is not good for the prince."

He bowed his hands to Jia Lian, "Otherwise, the prince dislikes me for cheating and eating and drinking, and wants to drive me away."

Jia Lian laughed and said: "Mr. Yang, you and Mr. Wang have been cheating food and drinking in my mansion for the rest of their lives. Whatever I have, you can take it."

Mr. Wang was the long history's inner responder in the Zhongshun palace before, and now he voted in the Rongyang palace with integrity, and he and Yang Jihe took the post: Changshi. Yang Jihe added, "It's gold and silver whatever you want. Take, but women don't!"

Jia Lian pointed at him, "Yang Jihe, who knows me!"

They joked and laughed all the way, but Jia Lian didn't go back to his house, but went to the original Lai's yard. It was transformed into another courtyard by Sister Feng, and most of the old buildings were demolished, adding a lot of scenery. Jia Lian When I walked in, a strange feeling arose in my heart, because it was not someone else who lived here, but the previous two Zhong, An’s two concubines, Huang’s and Jia’s. There were also five concubines of Zhongshun, four daughters, and An Guogong. There are four concubines, four daughters, three daughters, Wu's family, etc. Now there are more than 5 female relatives of King Beijing and Niu Jizong's family. It is still quiet here, although it takes a lot of hard work every day, but it is good It was a blessing to be able to avoid exile and resale when no one disturbed him. After suffering disasters and disasters, it was a blessing. But when Jia Lian came in, all the women here panicked. Jia Lian stood on the steps of the main hall, watching Looking at the large piece of knelt down at the bottom, he sighed with emotion, "You all get up! You stay, what should the others do?"

He ordered five people from the Huang family, Jia family, Xuan Yu, Wu Xian'er, and Zhen family, Princess of Beijing. Three carved lacquer chairs lined up on one side, with silver and red chairs draped over them. Jia Lian sat on the couch, "You sit!"

Several people looked at each other, Huang's family, Jia's family and Zhen's family sat in turn, and Xian'er stood at the door. The two servants from Zhongshun House hurried in and then exited. Jia Lian took a sip of tea and frowned: “How is old tea”

A few people were silent for a while, only Huang Dao: "What kind of people here can have this, I'm already content."

Jia Lian smiled slightly and put down the tea cup. "Tomorrow, I will ask Feng'er to send some good tea. This is my home, not a prison."

Huang said indifferently: "So it's not a prison."

Jia Lian snorted coldly and said, "You want to say that I am guarding and stealing from yourself. If you say that, this king will steal it. You are all my king's people. Whether you want it or not and when you want it depends on my mood."

The three of them didn't dare to sit, and stood up. Jia Lian stretched out one leg and said, "Sister Huang, beat my leg!"

Huang's head bowed and came up, a maid placed a cushion on the couch, Huang's knees knelt down, carrying Jia Lian's legs lightly beating slowly. "You all sit!"

Jia Lian leaned on the backrest and said casually. Jia Shizhen just sat down: Jia Lian glanced at them, "Although this is not a prison, you must know your identity. It is no longer a princess, a princess. According to the law, you are but my slaves."

Several people answered "yes" crisply

"Chen Shi!"

Jia Lian sighed: "Your husband was already at Caishikou at noon today. There are also twenty-two men from the Shui family."
