Zhen Yurao is the third girl of the Zhen family and the sister-in-law of Beijing County Prince Shuirong.
Xue Baolin is Xue Baochai's cousin. Two years ago, she married Zhen Yurao's cousin.
Wang Yanping is Wang Xifeng's cousin, and she just married into the Zhen family last year.
As female members of the Zhen family, the three girls were all on the list of people exiled to the border as slaves.
Su Mingzhe spent a lot of effort to rescue them. After rescuing them, he placed them in Wang Xifeng's residence and took them for his own use.
When the whole family was confiscated and the whole family was exterminated, many women in the Zhen family chose to commit suicide in order to preserve their chastity.
The three girls, Zhen Yurao, are all the kind who dare not commit suicide.
After being rescued by Su Mingzhe, the three women could only choose to accept it silently when faced with the man's "blackmail".
No matter what, Su Mingzhe took good care of them. They were not short of food and clothing, and even had maids to serve them.
This kind of life is much better than being exiled to the border as a slave or being sent to a prison.
After favoring Xue Baolin, Zhen Yurao and Wang Yanping one after another, Su Mingzhe also did not let go of Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, Feng'er, Ruixue and Woxue.
It was ridiculous until midnight in the afternoon.
Just before I saw it, the street drum was beating.
Su Mingzhe was served by Ping'er, dressed neatly and ready to leave.
When Ping'er sent the man out, he suddenly said in a low voice:
"Second Master, Uncle Rui seems to know that we live here."
"Uncle Rui? Jia Rui?"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe snorted and sneered:
"That guy is a courageous gangster, so what if he knows you live here? Is it possible that he still dares to come here and cause trouble for you?"
Seeing that the man didn't take this matter seriously, Ping'er immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"In the past, when the second master (Ziziteng) was still the military governor of the Beijing camp, a bachelor of the cabinet, and the admiral of the nine provinces, Uncle Nari naturally did not dare to provoke us. However, the second master has already died suddenly, and the Wang family They have all been defeated, and Uncle Rui has nothing to be afraid of..."
When Su Mingzhe heard what Ping'er said, he also remembered it.
In the plot of "The Red Mansion", Jia Rui, the unlucky one, was teased by Jia Rong and Jia Qiang because he didn't know his dignity and wanted to get involved with Sister Feng. He was drenched in feces and urine, and finally died under Fengyue Baojian.
"By the way, Fengyue Baojian..."
Su Mingzhe's eyes lit up:
"Ping'er, don't worry. In the next few days, Rong Ning's Second Mansion will be preparing to receive Concubine Yuan for her wedding. No surprises will happen. This will be put on hold for a few days. Once the wedding is over, I will take care of this kid!"
It was decided a year ago that all the empresses in the palace should go home to visit their relatives.
Now one year has passed, and the provincial residences in each prefecture have been built.
Just because of the death of the Supreme Emperor, everyone thought that the marriage proposal would be settled.
Who would have thought that Emperor Longqing would still insist on letting all the empresses leave the palace to visit the bride.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day before the Lantern Festival.
it's clear.
Su Mingzhe and all the men of Jia's family rushed to the Provincial Courtyard outside the city one day in advance to wait for Jia Yuanchun's arrival.
Because the empress who left the palace with Jia Yuanchun today, as well as the six concubines including Zhou Guiren and Wu Guifei, there was a little dispute over the order of leaving the palace.
In the original plot, the empresses prioritized seniority and pushed the time for Jia Yuanchun to leave the palace to the end, causing everyone in the Jia family to wait from dusk until dawn before Jia Yuanchun arrived.
Nowadays, more than 90% of the people in the palace belong to Su Mingzhe, so Jia Yuanchun's departure from the palace went particularly smoothly.
It's just past the time of Unity.
Someone from the palace notified Jia's family that Jia Yuanchun had left the imperial city and could reach the Provincial Family Courtyard within an hour.
When everyone in the Jia family is eagerly looking forward to it.
Inside the Daming Palace.
Emperor Longqing also knew the order of the seven concubines leaving the palace, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment:
"She was actually the first Concubine Yuan to leave the palace.
?」
Seeing that the emperor's tone seemed dissatisfied with this matter, Xia Shouzhong felt frightened and quickly explained carefully:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan is the Minister of Fengzao Palace. Concubine Wu and the other empresses are of lower rank. There is an order of hierarchy, so when the chamberlain made arrangements, Concubine Yuan was placed first."
Emperor Longqing, who was still angry at first, immediately suppressed the anger that was about to erupt in his chest when he heard the four words "honor and inferiority in order":
"Since it's in compliance with regulations, let's do it this way."
"Here!"
Xia Shouzhong secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
In the past, when there was a great emperor, the Emperor Longqing was still able to tolerate his emotions and anger, and would not easily offend the people around him.
Now without the suppression of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Longqing became more and more moody and would raise the butcher knife at the people around him at every turn.
During the Daqing Dynasty, there were originally more than 300 nobles.
In the past two months, more noble family heads have died suddenly than in the past hundred years.
In addition, forty or fifty people who had offended Emperor Longqing's civil and military ministers had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated for various reasons.
The prisons of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were almost full of people.
Emperor Longqing didn't know that his confidants were beginning to fear and panic.
Of course, even if he knew, he didn't care. After all, he was the emperor and should be feared.
So, at this moment, he still went his own way and asked seriously:
"A few days ago, you reported that remnants of the White Lotus Sect appeared in the capital. Is there any result?"
"this……"
When Xia Shouzhong heard the words "White Lotus Sect", his face changed slightly, he quickly knelt on the ground and reported:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have found out that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect... are currently hiding in the annexes of King Yi and King Jing!"
"The second and fourth child?"
After hearing this, Emperor Longqing smiled coldly:
"I know that these two worthless things will definitely not be honest... Let's continue, what do these two evil beasts want to do? Do they want to imitate my eldest and second brothers in rebellion?"
Emperor Longqing and his concubines had nine sons in total, but five of them died in infancy, leaving only the eldest prince Cheng Wang, the second prince Yi Wang, the fourth prince Jing Wang, and the seventh prince De Wang.
Of these four princes, the eldest prince, Prince Cheng, and the second prince, Prince Yi, were born to the original queen, the fourth prince, Prince Jing, was born to Concubine Wu, and the seventh prince, Prince De, was born to Concubine Zhang Shu.
After the death of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Longqing intended to make the eldest prince the crown prince and make the other three princes become vassal.
Unexpectedly, the second prince Yi Wang and the fourth prince Jing Wang actually colluded with the White Lotus Sect and wanted to launch a desperate counterattack.
"……yes!"
Faced with the angry emperor, Xia Shouzhong did not dare to lie and directly told the results of his investigation:
"The Holy One has never established a prince, and King Yi always thought he had a chance. However, recently you asked your slaves to spread the news that you want to establish King Cheng as the prince. King Yi was disappointed, and then he joined forces with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect... The slaves also investigated , the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have infiltrated their power into the palace, and the death of the Supreme Emperor seems to have something to do with them."
When Emperor Longqing heard that the death of the Supreme Emperor was actually related to the White Lotus Sect, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat:
"You old dog, why are you reporting this important matter now?"
Xia Shouzhong said aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect captured by this servant committed suicide. Without conclusive evidence, I dare not report them!"
"In the future, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, all such things must be reported!"
Emperor Longqing was not afraid of the White Lotus Sect, nor was he afraid of the rebellion of his two princes, but the death of the Supreme Emperor was actually related to the White Lotus Sect, which forced him to make a decision:
"Pass a decree, King Yi, during the mourning period of Kingdom Jing, if you are disrespectful and unethical, you will be imprisoned in the sect's mansion. No pardon will be given!"
"Here!"
Xia Shouzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the two
If a prince is captured, the remaining remnants of the White Lotus Sect will no longer have anything to fear.
