Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Master, the eldest master is at the old lady's place. He said he has something important to tell you and asked you to go there before going to court."

Just as Mrs. Wang helped Jia Zheng change into his official uniform, she heard the voice of a servant coming from outside.

"Master, at this time, if it is not an urgent matter, my brother would not do this unnecessarily."

Jia Zheng nodded.

"Madam is right. We live in the same mansion, and we prosper together and perish together. My eldest brother used to have a bad temper, and he will definitely not joke at this critical moment. We still have half an hour. Let's go to the old lady first, and ask the servant to hurry on the way."

So Jia Zheng, who had just changed into his official uniform, went to Jia's grandmother's place first. The maids and servants in the yard were all surprised to see Jia Zheng like this. They rarely saw a second master like this, after all, that official uniform was too eye-catching.

"Brother, I heard from the servants that you were looking for me."

After paying his respects to Lady Jia, Jia Zheng went straight to the point. After all, he still had to go to court and did not have much time.

When Jia She heard this, he first glanced at Jia Mu, and when she nodded, he spoke up, "The eunuch who just delivered the imperial edict left. I spent a hundred taels of silver and got some news from him."

Jia Zheng frowned, but did not interrupt Jia She. He already had an idea in his mind that his elder brother might have called him over because of the news.

"The capital is under martial law, and the situation in the palace is not much better."

Jia She organized his words and did not present the matter in the form of a conversation between two people.

"The people in the capital are from the camp outside the capital, and the people in the palace are from Brother Hong's Snow Dragon Cavalry. In addition, Brother Hong was also in the palace last night."

Having said that, Jia She sighed softly in his heart. Before Jia Zheng arrived, he had talked about this matter with Jia's mother, but neither of them had a clue about this situation, and no one knew how things would develop next.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was somewhat surprised.

"Brother Xiong is back?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Jia She narrowed his eyes, but did not delay and continued speaking, expressing some of his thoughts.

"That being said, this is too sensitive. We haven't figured out what happened yesterday. Brother Hong has been missing for a long time, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has resurrected. This is no small matter. If this is what Brother Hong wanted, then it's hard to say whether the emperor will make trouble at the morning court."

Speaking of this, Jia She's eyes flickered twice. He glanced at Jia Zheng. He was still very worried about this somewhat old-fashioned brother, so he expressed another guess of his.

"There is one more thing. The palace is now under the control of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. If the emperor makes trouble and the officials in the court report it, have you ever thought about what Brother Hong would do in this situation?"

Jia Zheng felt blocked in his heart, but this time he did not directly answer that the emperor would not do that. Putting himself in the emperor's shoes, he thought that if he were in the emperor's position, although Jia Hong's current behavior was understandable, it did touch the bottom line.

"According to Brother Hong'er's temperament, many people may die in the court today."

Jia She's eyes were a little cold, but contained a hint of madness. He didn't know that Jia Hong's surname was not Jia. If it really came to that, changing dynasties would no longer be a fantasy, and the country would even be named Jia.

"Furthermore, if Brother Hong really starts a rebellion, what will you do?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt his scalp tingling and a chill running straight to his head.

"Start a riot?"

He asked back in disbelief.

Jia She smiled coldly.

"Brother Hong was born on the battlefield and acts decisively. Now that things have come to this, all we need is his order." As he spoke, Jia She made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng felt his mouth dry. If Jia She's guess was true, then today's court session might very well be the beginning of their Jia family's glory.

"Of course, these are just guesses. We are not Brother Hong, so none of us knows what he will do. Although Brother Hong is young, he has strategies in mind. When we go to court later, Second Brother, try to speak less and act according to circumstances."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng felt his heartbeat quicken and his shoulders suddenly became heavier. The pressure, the invisible pressure made him feel a little breathless.

Emperor.

This was an unattainable position for all of them, and now that they thought it might come true, how could they remain calm?

Although Jia She looks calm now, his heart is already in turmoil.

"Big brother."

Jia Zheng was about to retreat in his heart. He really couldn't cope with the situation.

Grandmother Jia opened her eyes and looked at her youngest son.

"Second brother, when you go to court, just pretend you know nothing. With Ru Hai here, nothing serious will happen."

No one knows a son better than his mother. Grandmother Jia naturally knows Jia Zheng's character, but Jia Zheng must attend the morning court today.

Jia Zheng exhaled twice slowly, calmed himself down, and nodded.

Looking at Jia Zheng's departing back, Jia She sighed.

"Mother, I'm afraid things are going to change in the capital."

Grandmother Jia did not answer. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Boss, take a few people to the ancestral hall to burn two sticks of incense."

Pear Fragrance Garden.

Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun gathered together.

"It was really scary yesterday. I don't know who started the fight again. There were soldiers patrolling the streets outside."

"Yes, I just lay down yesterday and was awakened by the thunder-like noise."

"Second brother, do you know what's going on outside?"

The girls talked about what happened last night. Jia Baoyu was a little absent-minded. Although he didn't know what happened outside, he always felt as if he had missed something important last night.

Only when he heard Tanchun mention himself did he come back to his senses.

"Third sister, I don't know what happened. But Mingyan just said that someone seemed to have come to the palace and would hold a court meeting at 9:00 p.m. Everything will be clear after the master leaves the court."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said.

"What happens outside is not something you kids can control. I have some excellent goose feet here. I'll heat up some wine later. You can each have two cups and then go get some sleep. That's the right thing to do!"

When Baochai heard her mother's words, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but Aunt Xue was right. What could these young masters and young ladies do about what was happening outside? It was just worrying in vain. It would be better not to think about it!

"By the way, where's Xiangyun? I haven't seen her for a long time. Let's ask someone to call her over later!"
