Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

The capital city, the Mansion of Duke Rong, Rongqing Hall.

"how's it going??"

When Lady Jia saw Jia She enter the room, she hurriedly asked.

Last night, almost no one in the capital could sleep, except for those who were particularly bold.

After finally waiting until dawn, they sent people outside to inquire about the news. Unfortunately, the outside world had already been controlled by the camp outside the capital.

"The streets outside have been blocked by soldiers from the Beijing Suburban Camp. No sound has yet been heard from the palace. I'm afraid."

With his political sensitivity, Jia She sensed something unusual.

Grandmother Jia sat on the chaise longue in the middle of the hall, a trace of worry flashing across her cloudy eyes. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Although the Jia family is rich now, it is because Jia Hong and Yuanchun are surpassing them. Among the younger generations, there is not a single talented person. Jia Baoyu is a good seedling, but he is too young and has not made any achievements in his official career. She was undecided about the future of the Jia family.

"How is Brother Xuan?"

Early in the morning, there were a few more people in Xichun's room. Except for Wang Xifeng who was unable to leave, almost all the girls in the Jia family who knew Jia Hong's whereabouts came.

Daiyu, Xiangyun and Ping'er, the three girls, some were sitting and some were standing, chatting casually, but most of their attention was still on Xichun.

"Luyi didn't come back last night, and I don't know the situation outside, but it shouldn't be a big problem. If there was a different result, we wouldn't be able to sit here peacefully now."

That's what they said, but they all guessed the hidden meaning. There was a big commotion yesterday. If Jia Hong really failed, the people in the palace would not be so easy to deal with.

"There is martial law outside now, and we can't get any information."

Xiangyun was hesitant to speak. She was not clear about the gang forces in the court, but she knew that those people in the camp outside the capital did not belong to Jia Hong.

Previously, the noble family had fallen out with Jia Hong over some things, so naturally the Beijing Suburban Camp was not on good terms with Jia Hong.

"It's better not to think too much. What is coming will come eventually. You can't avoid it even if you want to."

Daiyu shook her head slightly.

"Good girl, how do I tell Second Grandma?"

Ping'er didn't come here just for herself. She also had to give an explanation to Wang Xifeng. But what the girls said was so confusing that she was at a loss.

Could I go back and tell Wang Xifeng that I didn't know? Wouldn't that make myself uncomfortable?

"Just tell her the truth. She has a lot of things to do. Anyway, we don't know. If you have any opinions, go out and ask around yourself!!"

Xichun retorted in annoyance.

Xiangyun took Ping'er's hand and said softly, "Sister Feng has too many thoughts, you know it yourself, it's best to say you don't know now, so as not to let it slip in front of the old lady, and then the master will suffer, and sister will have to suffer the consequences."

Hearing this, Ping'er looked at Daiyu and Xichun again. Seeing that the two girls did not refute, she gave up other thoughts. Although what Xiangyun said was not very pleasant to hear, it was also a fact. Wang Xifeng had her own little calculations in her mind. She knew about this, and the girls in the mansion also knew about it, but she didn't know how to hide it.

In the capital, the situation in most officials' residences was similar to that in the Jia Mansion. The capital was under martial law, and there was no news from the palace. Most of them were worried.

After a while, when the sun was almost high in the sky, the gate of the Daming Palace finally opened. A group of young eunuchs in yellow robes filed out and rushed to the homes of various ministers in the court. Among them, one of them came to the Jia Mansion.

"Madam, an angel has come to the master's palace."

Menzi was delivering the message, out of breath, fearing that he would be delayed.

When Grandmother Jia heard this, her heart tightened. At this moment, no one was not worried about what the future would be like.

"Please quickly!!"

"The angel has gone to Rongxitang"

Although these people who delivered the imperial eunuchs were all eunuchs, they represented the emperor, so these people who came to announce the imperial edicts were always very arrogant. But even so, most people did not dare to offend them. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor. This was the most straightforward expression of the feudal dynasty.

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and help me to the front hall."

Rongxi Hall and Rongqing Hall were just separated by a distance, so it was not too troublesome to go there. Facing the imperial edict, Jia's mother did not dare to delay. "Madam, Lord Jia, the emperor has ordered that we must go to court at 9:00 p.m., and there must be no delay."

Jia She, Jia Zheng and others received the order first, and then couldn't help but ask a question.

"May I ask the eunuch, is this an oral order?"

The eunuch nodded. This matter was arranged personally by the eunuch Dai Quan who was in charge of the palace.

"Master Jia, go and get ready!"

The eunuch looked at Jia Zheng and signaled him to get ready early. After all, it was only half an hour away from the Si hour. If there was any delay, something serious might happen.

Jia She took the two silver bills from Jia Lian and slipped them into the eunuch's hand without leaving any trace when he was seeing the eunuch off.

The eunuch suddenly felt two pieces of paper in his hand. He raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something. After thinking about it, he did not refuse and put them in his arms.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Jia She was delighted. He was afraid that the other party would not want anything. Since the other party was willing to accept the things, it meant that there were no major problems on the Jia family's side.

"Excuse me, eunuch, where is the palace?"

There are some things that you cannot ask too specifically, you can only touch upon the subject. If the other party can say it, with the previous preparation, then he or she will naturally not reveal anything. If he or she cannot, then you will not make it difficult for him or her.

"Mr. Jia"

The eunuch raised his head and glanced around. Seeing that no one was around, he thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Master Jia, I still don't know what happened in the palace."

Jia She frowned and thought to himself that maybe the silver he gave was not enough. However, looking at the other party's expression, it didn't seem like he was deliberately hiding something.

Not long after, the eunuch's words continued to come over.

"The palace was in chaos yesterday. No one dared to run around in the palace, so most people in the palace didn't know what happened. But when Eunuch Dai summoned us this morning, I found that the guards in the palace had been replaced. I heard that they were from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."

One word caused a thousand waves, and Jia She's heart suddenly shuddered. He didn't say much, but what he said was no less than a thunderclap.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, didn't Jia Hong's personal guards perish together with the enemy in the battle with Prince Dongping? Why did they appear again at this time?

Seeing Jia She's expression, the eunuch naturally knew that the other party was suspecting that he was talking nonsense, but the facts are the facts and he saw it with his own eyes.

"When Eunuch Dai asked us to deliver the imperial edict to the officials in the court, I..."

At this point, the eunuch who came to deliver the message showed a hint of nervousness.

"Minister Dai said that the Marquis of Guanjun entered the palace last night."

Having said this, the eunuch stopped talking and, when he reached the door, he clasped his fists.

"Master Jia, that's all I have to say. Please go back!"

Jia She returned the gift.

"Thank you, eunuch. If the Jia family can survive this disaster, I will repay you with generous gifts."

Looking at the other person's departing back, Jia She's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. Jia Hong showed up last night. After being missing for more than half a year, he appeared in the Daming Palace. The appearance of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry also undoubtedly proved one thing: Jia Hong's disappearance might not be as simple as he thought.

And this time when the court goes to court, the situation in the court is likely to undergo major changes.

"No, I have to go talk to the second brother."

Jia She didn't know what he was thinking about, he turned around and left, fearing that his inflexible brother would bring disaster to the Jia family.
