However, after Concubine Wu left the Ganqing Palace, she thought about the queen's reaction after seeing the photo, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

But after a while, I started to feel depressed again.

Recently, whenever she thinks about Concubine Rong being shy and humiliated in front of her, it is very likely to be to poison the prince, she is afraid and angry. Even though she has thought about many ways to torture Concubine Rong recently, she still feels that it is not enough.

That's why I made these photos and prepared to publicize them to let Concubine Rong die on the pillar of shame and become a joke forever.

Who would have thought that the arrow was on the string and was rejected by the queen again?

Alas ~

The Queen's sister is better than anything else, but she is too timid and actually she is doing more obscurely. Who can guess that it is her own work?

Just as he returned to Zhongcui Palace in such a depressed mood, Concubine Wu was thinking of venting his anger with Concubine Rong, he suddenly got a report from his confidant eunuch, saying that Lord Jiao did not leave the palace immediately after leaving the Ganqing Palace, but was given to him by Concubine Xiande halfway. Stopped.

When Concubine Wu heard this, she raised her eyebrows.

After pondering for a moment, he ordered: "When he finished talking with Concubine Xiande, you will be led to Zhongcui Palace and say that I have something to give me."

The eunuch responded and rushed out hurriedly, afraid that he would go too late and Jiao Shun had already left the palace.

Jia Yuanchun was originally the most low-key person in the palace. Although he had a deep connection with Jiao Shun, he had never contacted him alone, let alone met him alone.

Now that I have stopped Jiao Shun halfway, I am really helpless.

If the rumors started in the palace, she could still try to make a mistake, but the news was rumored outside, and even if she had all kinds of scheming, she would not be able to reach it.

There are also a group of mud in my mother's house that cannot be supported by the wall, so I can't count on it at all. At this time, Jiao Shun can still ask for help?

But she did not just ask for advice, but solemnly told Jiao Shun that the two of them were in the palace and outside the palace, and they could defeat the ambition and conspiracy of King Zhongshun. Hearing this, she obviously had already seen it. He passed the memorial of King Zhongshun and used this to analyze the plan of King Zhongshun.

Her proposal to join forces seemed quite reasonable, but Jiao Shun was not very cold.

He hadn't seen Jia Yuanchun in the Ganqing Palace today, so he guessed that Jia Yuanchun had probably been affected by rumors, otherwise, as the think tank chosen by the queen and Concubine Wu, there was no reason why she would be absent from such occasions.

Since she has lost power, how can she talk about inside and outside the palace?

Of course, with Jia Yuanchun's mental and technical methods, he could still help, but it was not as important as she said.

Therefore, Jiao Shun still put on a look of going through fire and water, and at the same time he mentioned the difficulty of this matter repeatedly. After all, many things are preconceived. Even if they can reverse the public opinion outside, it may not be able to improve Jia Yuanchun's Situation.

"You can rest assured that as long as the outside is calm, I have my own way to turn the situation around!"

Jia Yuanchun said that he was full of confidence, and obviously he had made a decision.

Jiao Shun was curious and asked intently, but she looked at it and obviously didn't trust Jiao, or had already seen something from Jiao Shun's "preparation".

Seeing this, Jiao Shun was naturally not easy to explore again, so the two of them parted ways.

After saying goodbye to Jia Yuanchun, Jiao Shun originally wanted to leave the palace, but who thought that he was stopped by the eunuchs of Zhongcui Palace after a few steps.

Hearing that it was Concubine Wu who summoned him, he naturally did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly followed the eunuch to Zhongcui's palace.

In order to avoid suspicion, the queen chose to be in the Emperor's Ganqing Palace when summoning him; in order to avoid suspicion, Jia Yuanchun pretended to encounter him by chance and stopped him halfway. However, Concubine Wu had no choice but to stop him and summoned him directly in the main hall of the bedroom.

After Jiao Shun saw the ceremony, she didn't call her flat, and tilted her body like a bird flying on her palm on the bed of the Arhat. She sneered at Jiao Shun, "I heard that you have just gone to see Concubine Xiande?"

It turned out to be for this matter.

Jiao Shun hurriedly wanted to argue a few words, saying that it was not that he went to see Jia Yuanchun, but that Jia Yuanchun stopped him and spoke halfway.

Concubine Wu raised her slender hand and said unquestionably: "Although you are from Rongguo Mansion, what has Rongguo Mansion given you? Isn't it all up to the emperor and the prince to polite you? You want to take your position yourself Just right, don’t pay attention to some people and some things in the future, so as not to be implicated in vain!”

She said so bluntly, what else can Jiao Shun do?

Immediately, I hurriedly kowtowed again and again, expressing my fear and fear that I only know to be loyal to the emperor and the crown prince. None of the rest can be compared with him. If there is any rebellion, the emperor and the crown prince will naturally follow the meaning of the emperor.

Concubine Wu actually hoped that he could add his name to the list of loyalty to the death and be with the emperor.

But thinking about the meaning of my son, and my son's meaning was also my own. When Jiao Shun crawled on the ground, he was very respectful, so he did not pursue these details.

Just as he was about to comfort him, Jiao Shun retreated, Concubine Wu suddenly remembered something again, and a joke flashed in her eyes, and she stood up and said, "You should not walk around here."

As he said that, he went into the bedroom.

Did you go into the house to get oranges?

Jiao Shun was very puzzled. After waiting for about a cup of tea, he saw Wu Guifei, who was filial and filial, walked out again, handed the envelope to the maid on the left, and said to Jiao Shun: "Take this thing back and take a closer look--Okay, I'm a little tired, you go back."

What's so mysterious?

Jiao Shun took the envelope from his maid and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly kowtowed again, walked backwards and stood up and left the hall.

This time, I finally arrived outside the palace without any danger.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiao ordered the coachman to go home directly.

On the way, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and felt that he had to prepare for the worst in advance - in fact, with the current situation, even the worst possibility was much better than he had imagined at the beginning.

Although we have to clear the king's side, the difficulty of dealing with the Supreme Emperor and a disgraceful prince is obviously very different.

In particular, King Zhongshun always valued literature and neglected military generals. If he really reached that point, there would definitely be very few people in the three camps who were willing to stand out for him.

With just a group of literati, what other waves can arise in the face of force and righteousness?

Thinking of this, Jiao Shun was a little eager to try.

However, he quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart again. No matter what, the risky moves are the last method of putting in the box. It is best not to use it if you don’t have it. What you need to do now is to make all preparations as much as possible.

Fortunately, I have already had the experience from the beginning of the year, so I can just draw on the cat and draw the gaps.

After suppressing his restlessness, he suddenly remembered the envelope that Concubine Wu gave before leaving, so he curiously took it out and took it apart. As a result, he was shocked at the sight of it.

There is no other word along the way.

When he arrived at home, he saw Shi Xiangyun teasing Xiao Zhixia and talking. He took off his cloak and picked up his daughter and kissed her. He was about to get some snacks from the kang table to feed her, but Shi Xiangyun slapped her away.

"Children should not eat too much snack before meals."

Shi Xiangyun said, and said frowningly: "In the afternoon, someone from Rongguo Mansion sent me to come and said that I would like to ask the master to come and have a lecture today."

"So anxious?"

Jiao Shun asked casually, but in fact he was not very surprised.

After hearing the rumors about Concubine Xiande, it would be strange if the Rongguo Mansion could still sit there after receiving the news. On the contrary, it was really speechless that they had received the news so late.

However, because the birth date is approaching, he naturally would not tell Shi Xiangyun that these news, so Shi Xiangyun didn't think about it at all, but said hesitantly: "I guess it's been these few days, Master, you say...

in the end……"

Jiao Shun turned his head and looked at her, rolled his eyes and said, "Hasn't it been agreed long ago? Let Xing take 10,000 taels of silver notes later, I'll take it with me."

Also because of the nearing birth date, Shi Xiangyun only went to pay tribute to Jia Mu twice before and after the New Year, but he witnessed the farce of the eldest and second houses competing for inheritance, and thus gained a deeper understanding of the Rongguo Mansion's embarrassment.

learn.

After she came back, she tossed and turned and felt uneasy, fearing that the old lady's funeral would eventually lead to an accident.

Jiao Shun had long seen her heart, and at that time he suggested that if the Rongguo Mansion was really unable to turn around, he would have to borrow a sum of money to the Jia family.

"It's enough to take seven thousand taels."

Xiangyun hurriedly said, "I have collected three thousand taels here..."

She is not a brother-supporting demon, so she naturally would not regard using the money from her husband's family to subsidize her parents' relatives as a matter of course. If it weren't for the fact that the hole in Rongguo Mansion was too big, she would have only used her own private money.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiao Shun waved his hand and said unquestionably: "I can still pay this amount of money - if I had not bought a separate house at home, it would not be a problem to spend more."

According to the agreement, Tanchun should pass this year. At that time, you can't let her live in the wing room or the living yard, right?

After discussing with his parents, Jiao Shun decided to buy another two-in-one courtyard nearby and renovate it.

After saying that, when Shi Xiangyun was about to say something, he pondered for a moment, and then changed his words: "Stop it, if you don't use your body, it seems that you will not be able to feel at ease. This way, you can take it.

One thousand taels will come out, and then take eight thousand taels from the public account."

Shi Xiangyun was about to nod, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "What about the remaining one thousand taels?"

Jiao Shun said naturally: "Of course, let Sister Lin come out. Since the old lady passed away, she would have shed tears all day long. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have dressed up as a female doctor to go to Rongguo Mansion to pay her condolences--Now

She can pay a thousand taels, and she can still ask for peace of mind."

Shi Xiangyun thought that it was the same, so he asked Cuilu to take a thousand taels of body, and sighed: "The person the old lady was most sorry for during her lifetime was Sister Lin, but she was the one who was saddest now."

"If you don't say that being affectionate is always ruthless and painful."

Jiao Shun reached out and pinched her nose, saying, "But you want whatever you want in your heart, don't hold it in your heart, otherwise..."

As he was talking, his daughter grabbed his nose with her little hands.

He laughed and said in a silence to Xiangyun: "This girl follows me, she is really strong."

"We Zhixia should follow Sister Xing."

Shi Xiangyun covered her mouth and smiled.

The couple talked for a few more times, and Jiao got up and turned to his parents' yard. He discussed with Lai Wang, who had just returned from the yamen, and told him not to work in the yamen soon.

The reason given clearly is that Shi Xiangyun's labor period is approaching, but he has been busy recently. He is really worried that he has no serious business at home. Besides, there are many officials around him now, so there is no need to let his own son.

Following the effort.
