Chapter 539: Yuan Chun's Loss
The successive great changes on the Iron Net Mountain, the hunting must not be able to continue.
Using local materials and preparing a simple coffin for Emperor Jingtai is the most important thing.
Of course, the emperor's posthumous affairs have their own charters, and they will not be so simple and hasty, but because in the hunting ground, they can only do so first.
After returning to Beijing, the etiquette system that should be there is no less.
And the reason why there was no discussion of returning to Beijing at the first time was mainly to wait for the emperor to wake up...... Only when the Emperor awakens can there be a definite result for those things that cannot be decided now and can only be dealt with in an ambiguous and perfunctory manner.
For example, how to place His Royal Highness the former Second Prince.
He's going up the mountain.
For the second prince, Jia Baoyu is also quite regretful.
Although the two are no longer as close as they were a year ago, at least nothing unpleasant has happened on the surface.
Regarding what happened to the second prince, Jia Baoyu can only feel pity and sigh for him.
He knew that the second prince was going up the mountain this time, and life and death were unpredictable.
On the other hand, he used to regard himself as a subordinate next to the second prince, but now the situation is reversed, the second prince is not a real prince, not to mention, and he, Jia Baoyu, is suspected of being a decent prince in the end.
I don't know, when the second prince goes up the mountain and hears these gossips, what kind of mood will he have? Probably unacceptable.
When I came out of the palace, it was almost dusk.
Mingyan came close and quietly handed Jia Baoyu a note.
Jia Baoyu opened it and looked at it, and his brows were furrowed:
In front of the Baoling Palace, under the statue of the gods!
Although there was no payment, Jia Baoyu still knew at a glance that this must have been passed on by the woman surnamed Wu.
As for the meaning of this sentence......
Under the statue of Baoling Palace, that was the place where he had an entanglement with this woman.
At this time, she passed this to him, very simply, it was a threat.
Jia Baoyu was a little unhappy in his heart, although he knew that since that time, it would be difficult for him to completely get rid of this woman, but he was naturally dissatisfied with being "harassed" by her again and again, and he was still disturbing without knowing the severity.
I don't want to think about when this is, and dare to casually pass him such a self-obscure note?
When everyone else is stupid?
But then he thought about it, if the woman was not so shallow, I am afraid that he would not be able to handle it so easily.
Moreover, Wu Tianyou committed the capital crime of exterminating the clan this time, and it is normal for that woman to panic.
It is not required that every woman has the deep city government and calm bearing of the queen.
Raising his head, seeing Mingyan's dishonest eyes glancing at the note, Jia Baoyu crumpled the note into a ball, threw it into his arms, and ordered, "Eat." β
"Ah......" Mingyan's face was bitter, but seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't seem to be joking, he neatly stuffed the paper ball into his mouth and swallowed it a few times.
He is very clever, although he can't understand the meaning of the above words, but at this time, someone secretly passed the news to their second master, and the possibility of a major relationship is very high.
It is also his honor and duty to be able to keep the secret for the second master.
When I think about it, I don't think the paper ball is unpalatable.
After seeing that Ming Yanzun gave the order, not only did he not look unusual, but showed a "meritorious" demeanor, Jia Baoyu was very satisfied.
Although this kid is cunning, he definitely has nothing to say about his loyalty.
People are also clever and worth cultivating......
Glancing up at the direction of Xingyuan, Jia Baoyu turned the horse's head.
Mingyan asked very interestingly, "The second master is going to see the eldest lady?" β
Jia Baoyu nodded.
That woman couldn't let her go, or who knew what stupid thing she would do.
With his status, it was not good to go directly to the woman, but he could go to see his sister naturally.
Such a big thing happened, as a younger brother, he really should go to see Yuan Chun.
β¦β¦
"What, what did you say?"
In the small courtyard where Yuan Chun lived, when Yuan Chun heard about the passage of the qin, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in disbelief.
Baoqin is also full of embarrassment, she was the big girl next to Yuan Chun before she entered the palace, and she grew up in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child.
It can be said that "Jia Baoyu" also grew up watching her since she was a child, and the second master is the son of his wife (Mrs. Wang), how can this be wrong?
From the pregnancy in September, to the birth of the jade, and then to the second grandfather to the age of six or seven, she has witnessed it with her own eyes.
When the second master was a child, she also hugged her mother......
"Niangniang, when I first heard about it, I thought it was ridiculous, but now that the news is spread everywhere, the slave maid thinks that things must not be simple, so I will tell you immediately."
Yuan Chun was a little stunned.
Baoqin is a loyal girl who has followed her for more than ten years, and she knows that the other party will not lie to her with such a big matter.
However, how is it possible, Baoyu he......
She has been in the harem for almost ten years, and she immediately noticed the seriousness of the things involved!
Could it be that my brother was taken advantage of?
It's no wonder that Yuan Chun thinks too much, the emperor just died, and her younger brother, who was loved by the emperor, was revealed to be the grandson of the emperor who was left behind by the people, no matter how you look at Jia Baoyu, it seems that she is involved in a power struggle or even a conspiracy. 7 Q
"Where's Baoyu?"
"Niangniang, the slave and maid have tried several times, although the guard at the door is polite to the slave and maid, but the slave and maid are not allowed to go out......"
Baoqin knew that Yuan Chun wanted to ask Jia Baoyu about the situation.
Yuan Chun was depressed. At this time, she did have a sense of powerlessness as a woman.
Xingyuan was sealed, and they were not even allowed to ask for the guards to mourn His Majesty, saying that they would wait until Emperor Jingtai's body was properly placed, and then arrange for the concubines to mourn......
"Niangniang, Uncle Jing Yuan asks to see ......" The maid of the first palace came in and gave a farewell.
Yuan Chun was overjoyed, and immediately moved his steps and walked towards the door.
When she got outside, she saw Jia Baoyu standing under the porch waiting, she hurriedly walked down with her skirt and looked at him with stunned eyes.
"What's wrong, sister?" A trace of doubt flashed in Jia Baoyu's eyes.
As soon as Yuan Chun heard this familiar sister, where did she care about anything else, she knew that this was her own brother who teased the pipe belt since the pudding was older!
"Baoyu, come over and let my sister take a good look."
Yuan Chun beckoned, ordered Jia Baoyu to approach, and then raised his hand to check Jia Baoyu's body, and said: "I heard last night that you also led troops to quell the chaos, have you been injured again?" β
The voice was full of concern.
She has been worried about Jia Baoyu since last night, but she hasn't seen people until now, how can she suppress the feelings in her heart?
Jia Baoyu was not as high-sounding as the Queen Mother in the face of Yuan Chun, and said with a smile: "Look at what my sister said, I have flattened my younger brother!" The little brother is a general of Sanpin, how can those shrimp soldiers and crabs hurt me?
To tell you the truth, my little brother killed a lot of rebels last night! β
He didn't lie, let the younger brothers rush to the front, he hid behind and released cold arrows, almost aimed at a point, and indeed shot a lot of death.
When Yuan Chun heard this, she didn't turn pale when she heard the murder like the girls in the family, she was just a little nervous.
But seeing that Jia Baoyu was indeed relaxed, he said angrily: "I actually said big things, I don't know who was injured on the leg yesterday, and he was scared to death after bleeding so much." β
"Ahem, accident, accident, just ......"
"Hehe~"
Jia Baoyu touched his head in embarrassment, and he was a little naΓ―ve, which made Yuanchun's wrinkled face suddenly smile.
Then Jia Baoyu found that today's Yuanchun had faded from his previous gorgeous and graceful dress, only wearing a set of plain clothes, and his head was the same as him, tied with a white ribbon, only slightly thinner.
Her face was powdered, and there was not a single piece of shiny jewelry on her head, even a few beautiful Thai blue finger sleeves that she had been wearing on her little finger and ring finger were gone, completely revealing her hands as white as jade, like bonesless.
At this time, Yuanchun, although the whole looks less than three points of the dignity of the concubine, but more than seven points of beauty and refinement.
At the same time, this smile at this time is as pure and brilliant as a hibiscus out of the water......
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think to himself, Emperor Jingtai was injured in the battle with Prince Yizhong, whether it was as thorough as the eunuch or not, it was inhumane after all.
Then, Yuan Chun, who has only been a concubine for two or three years, is still innocent in all probability......
Rao is his younger brother, being looked at by him like this, Yuan Chun didn't feel a little scarlet on his face, and gently pinched Jia Baoyu's arm and flesh, and at the same time as Jia Baoyu came back to his senses, his eyes glanced at the palace people next to him.
Seeing that they didn't pay much attention, he pulled Jia Baoyu and said, "Let's go, go into the house and talk." β
When he arrived in the hall and sat down as the guest of honor, Yuan Chun naturally interrogated what had happened from last night to today.
Jia Baoyu didn't tell her more inside stories for the sake of Yuan Chun.
Although Yuan Chun is a noble concubine, she is only noble, and in the final analysis, she is also a weak woman who is powerless.
At this time, knowing too much may not be a good thing for her.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu made Yuanchun feel at ease, and even dispelled many doubts and concerns in her heart, and did not mention anything more.
Soon a quarter of an hour passed, and Jia Baoyu got up to say goodbye.
Although the guards outside gave him a lot of face, and he didn't encounter obstacles when he came in, it was not good to stay in the line for a long time and give people a handle.
"Brother......
Yuan Chun got up to send him off, and after the bead curtain, he couldn't help but stop.
Jia Baoyu turned around.
"You...... It is rumored that you are the emperor's grandson, what is going on? β
Before, she didn't dare to ask about this topic.
But Yuan Chun felt that Jia Baoyu was gone, and he didn't know how long it would take before he could come to see her again.
She couldn't help but ask.
Jia Baoyu was silent, looking at Yuan Chun's eager, nervous, and somewhat troubled eyes, how could he not understand Yuan Chun's thoughts.
Think about it, whoever learns that his younger brother, who has been thinking about him for more than ten years, may not be able to accept it.
Taking a deep breath, he turned around and took a step, and under the sideways gaze of the palace people, he hugged Yuan Chun with one arm and said in a low voice: "No matter what the truth is, Baoyu will always be your Baoyu......"
Yuan Chun was stunned, and the idea that Jia Baoyu's move was not in line with etiquette also dissipated.
Before she had time to think about Jia Baoyu's words, she saw that Jia Baoyu had let go of her, smiled at her, and then turned around and walked out of the house, not giving her another chance to send her.
"Niangniang~?"
Hug Qin walked over, supported Yuan Chun, who was standing still, and greeted him.
Yuan Chun came back to his senses, noticed that there were tears in his eyes, hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and then said to Baoqin: "Let's go, help me go back......"
She understood Jia Baoyu's words, no matter what, she would not lose her dear brother.
This touched her heart.
As for the future, and what the truth is, let's talk about it later. Otherwise, what else can be done?
