Chapter 495: Ambition
In the Imperial City's Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince looked at the people below, frowned and asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Lu?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Lord Lu led the team to ambush in Shililin, but the news leaked, and was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, Lord Lu was seriously injured when he broke through, because he was afraid of affecting His Highness, so he did not dare to enter the city, so he sent his subordinates to ......"
"Mr. Lu is injured? Can it be severe? ”
The second prince naturally knew about the failure of the operation, and he was concerned about Mr. Lu's safety.
"Lord Lu was stabbed in the left arm and under the abdomen, and the injuries were serious, but his life was not hindered......"
Hearing this, the second prince's face softened, and after asking some more details, he told him to be careful and take care of Mr. Lu when he went out.
The man took the command and departed.
Then the second prince looked at the other person in the room.
In the secluded side hall, only outside is guarded by dense guards, and there are only two people in the room.
Zhu Lan said: "Your Highness has also seen today's results, there are indeed people secretly protecting Jia Baoyu, so, does Your Highness still think that Jia Baoyu's identity is no problem?" ”
"How can you be sure that it is the Emperor Taishang's person......"
Before the second prince finished speaking, Zhu Lan reprimanded: "Those who achieve great things, when they are decided, they will be decided, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake, how can they be lucky?" If Your Highness is always like this, I don't think we need to cooperate, wash our necks as soon as possible, and wait for Your Majesty's guillotine to fall." ”
The second prince frowned, and a look of displeasure condensed between his eyebrows.
Zhu Lan also found that his tone was wrong, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Your Highness forgives the sin, it is the poor monk who is rude." ”
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
After a while, the second prince said: "As you can see, Jia Baoyu must be killed?" But in the current situation, how did you kill him? If there is really the Emperor behind him to protect, then, with our strength, how can we be able to defeat it?
If I am not careful, the matter is revealed, and then I will not even have the last trace of reliance. ”
For the second prince, now his biggest reliance is the previous statement of the emperor, so that most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty guessed that he was the preferred candidate of the emperor.
He didn't want to offend the emperor.
However, if Zhu Lan's guess is true, then ......
Thinking about the previous scene when Jia Baoyu bowed his head in front of him and did not make the slightest fake, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.
What kind of city government can make him not show the slightest flaw for so many years?
If this is the case, then when the Emperor Taishang expressed his support for himself, did he really value himself, or was he simply to suppress his father?
Or is it paving the way for the person he really wants in his heart......
He shuddered a little at the thought of this.
The complexity and mystery of the matter made him feel a little thrilling even to him who was pretentious.
Zhu Lan shook her head and said, "At the beginning, I suggested that His Highness get rid of Jia Baoyu directly, but His Highness had doubts and wanted to make such a temptation, but now, we have lost the opportunity to do it again."
I know that His Royal Highness was lucky, thinking that with the importance of the Emperor, when the Great Prince is dead, as long as the Emperor dies, His Royal Highness will be able to successfully ascend to the Great Treasure with the support of the Emperor.
It's time to wake up.
If the little prince of the Prince's Mansion really didn't die, then he is the prince with the most legitimate royal blood today, and if the Emperor wants him to inherit the great treasure, His Royal Highness will have no chance.
This is still under the premise that the Emperor Taishang does not know His Royal Highness's true background.
Therefore, for the sake of today, there is only one way to completely change the situation of His Highness! ”
"Go on."
"That is to let the Emperor and the Emperor Taishang stay on the Iron Net Mountain completely in this autumn hunt!"
The second prince's eyelids jumped, and he quietly looked at Zhu Lan's terrifying face under the black robe.
……
On the second day, Jia Baoyu went to the palace on duty, and was actually summoned by the emperor.
The emperor seemed to have completely forgotten the events of the day of the assassination of the eldest prince, and he didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards him, so he summoned him to the Heart Cultivation Hall and asked about the matter of Shili Lin yesterday.
Jia Baoyu naturally answered truthfully.
Then the emperor didn't say anything, but personally allowed him to enter the palace to see Yuan Chun.
Because Jia Baoyu hadn't seen Yuanchun for a while, he also came to Fengzao Palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
Seeing Yuan Chun, the two sisters and brothers had a lot of earnest gossip, and then Yuan Chun's palace maid came in and said that it was time to go to Changle Palace.
Jia Baoyu asked Yuan Chun what he was doing in Changle Palace.
"The queen mother fell ill with a cold a while ago, and I thought about sending her some snacks made by herself.
By the way, the queen has always been kind to you and cared for you, since you are here, why don't you go with me to visit. ”
"The queen is sick?" Jia Baoyu was particularly surprised, he didn't know when the queen was sick.
"Niangniang has always been cautious and self-disciplined, and it is not easy to publicize, thinking that the autumn hunt is coming, and it is not good to be affected because of her, so she strictly ordered the palace not to be publicized as a major event, lest many women of the clan come to visit An......"
Jia Baoyuxin said that this is in line with her character. Because he didn't say anything more, he came to Changle Palace with Yuan Chun.
Sure enough, the queen's whole person looked a lot haggard, and she didn't show any surprise when she saw Jia Baoyu, she just glanced at him, and after calmly accepting his kneeling salute, she let him stand aside, and then talked to Yuan Chun as if no one was around.
In the end, it's better to be Yuanchun's sister, I'm afraid that Jia Baoyu will be boring on the side, and every time she says a few words, she always pulls it on him intentionally or unintentionally, or just asks him.
In this way, Jia Baoyu can occasionally answer a sentence or two, so as not to be too embarrassed.
After a while, the queen also seemed to find out that she had snubbed Jia Baoyu, and finally turned around and asked, "I heard that you were outside the city yesterday and almost encountered a villain?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, but it's a false alarm."
The queen looked at him and said, "It's not peaceful outside, and you still need to be more careful when you go out, so that your sister doesn't worry about you." ”
"Thank you for your teachings."
The queen nodded, beckoned the palace maids on the side, and asked them to carry a lot of supplements and other things out and give them to Jia Baoyu and the others.
Jia Baoyu and Yuan Chun naturally shirked.
Zhi'er next to him said with a smile: "You can take it, these things were sent in by His Royal Highness the Second Prince to honor our mother, but unfortunately the imperial doctor said that the mother is cold and cold, and it is not appropriate to eat more of these things, so it is a pity to put them in vain." ”
"These things were all sent in by His Royal Highness II?" Jia Baoyu suddenly asked.
"Yes, since more than half a month ago, His Royal Highness the Second Highness sent someone to send something in every three or five days, and it is ......good to say that His Royal Highness is filial piety."
Jia Baoyu frowned slightly. The second prince has been raised by the queen's side since he was six or seven years old, and he reasoned that the queen has a physique and what he should avoid eating.
Also, more than half a month ago, wasn't it just when the second prince fell and injured himself?
"What's wrong?"
The queen saw Jia Baoyu's appearance and asked slightly.
"It's nothing, thank you for your generous kindness!"
……
Returning to Fengzao Palace again, Jia Baoyu didn't stay for a while before leaving under Yuan Chun's reluctant gaze.
The land of the harem cannot be stayed for a long time.
Besides, there is no point in staying.
Although there are many beauties in this, one cannot be touched, and the other cannot be touched...... Don't say this, even if you look at it twice, you may be remembered by those psychopathic eunuchs, in case something comes out again, it will be a sin.
"Wait, the concubine Xuanjia Baoyu went to Zhongcui Palace to question!"
Just when the eunuch was about to send Jia Baoyu out of the harem, two eunuchs rushed over, and it seemed that it was Wu Guifei's person.
Although Wu Guifei had already been cleaned up by the queen, she was a concubine after all, and she was not something that ordinary eunuchs and palace maids dared to offend, so the eunuchs listened to the words and subconsciously walked away.
They all knew that Jia Baoyu and the Wu family had enmity, but they had no obligation or guts to protect Jia Baoyu......
"Dare to ask the concubine what is the matter with me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the concubine Niangniang is calling, you just have to follow our family, where are you talking so much."
The so-called dog will help which one to bite, and the eunuch didn't have a good impression of Jia Baoyu at first glance, and spoke very politely.
Jia Baoyu's face turned cold, and he said: "This general still has responsibilities, so I can't stay in the palace for a long time." Besides, the concubine Niangniang is golden and noble, but the general is a rough person, lest he offend Feng Yan again, so he asked his father-in-law to tell the concubine Niangniang, if he has something to say, just send someone to order, and the general will obey. ”
After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Bold!" The eunuch was anxious, and when he saw that he couldn't keep Jia Baoyu, he said loudly: "Niangniang heard that you took someone to break into Wu's house last time, which frightened Boss Wu, and Niangniang announced that you entered the palace for questioning, if you dare not go, you will not respect Niangniang's will, it is a great disrespect, and it is a disobedience!" ”
Jia Baoyu stopped, turned his head, and said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
He was like this, but he was not frightened, but suddenly remembered that Emperor Jingtai suddenly used Wu Tianyou again a while ago, and even the ladies in the palace began to be favored again.
Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal to take a look. It just so happened that he was also a little curious, what the stupid woman was doing all day long.
The eunuch couldn't keep up with Jia Baoyu's rhythm, and was a little stunned, but suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "You are interested", and then walked back with Jia Baoyu.
When Zhu Lan heard this, she shook her head and said, "Hurt, you can fake." Your Highness should not forget that only the three of us know about this plan, and if someone does not leak the secret, how can it be discovered by the officers and soldiers. ”
The second prince stared at him, and suddenly said coldly: "
