When the Jia family was in chaos, Jia Baoyu huddled in the corner of the carriage, feeling extremely frightened.
From birth to now, he has never been treated so roughly, like a tool that can be disposed of at will, no different from a domestic slave in the mansion.
He is the Jia family Baoyu who has the anecdote of "holding jade", the Qilin son of Rongguo Mansion who has been cared for by the family elders since he was a child.
After passing many checkpoints, the carriage finally stopped, and the little eunuch's voice came from outside.
"Jia Baoyu, we're here, get off the car!"
The cold tone made Jia Baoyu feel particularly uncomfortable, and the fear in his heart became more serious.
"If you don't get out of the car, I'll drag you out!" The eunuch outside became more and more stern.
No matter how scared he was, Jia Baoyu could only move and cautiously got out of the carriage after being threatened like this.
At this moment, they were outside the Meridian Gate, and further inside was the palace. Even the princes had to walk, so Jia Baoyu naturally had to enter on foot.
Although the night is deep, the tall gate tower is still clearly visible under the light of the lights.
Looking up at the city tower that covered the sky, Jia Baoyu felt a great sense of oppression, so much so that he could no longer even walk.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you leave quickly!"
After saying this, the little eunuch kicked Jia Baoyu directly, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
Except for Jia Zheng, this was the first time that an outsider had beaten him, and he was also a lowly eunuch.
Before Baoyu had time to get angry, the next moment he heard the eunuch of one year say: "Bring the whip, whip him and then he will leave!"
If we delay any longer and miss His Majesty's time, these little eunuchs will die.
At this time, these eunuchs don't care about the identity of the princes of the country. They will do anything to save their lives.
"I'm leaving, leaving right now!"
Although he had been punished at home, he had only been punished with a ruler, and he already felt so painful that he couldn't even imagine what it would feel like to be hit by a whip.
Walking into the palace gate tremblingly, they walked for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at Chengmingyuan where the underage prince lived.
After being stopped outside the Nanzuo courtyard where Zhu Jinghong lived, a young eunuch immediately came in to report, and a few moments later someone came out to deliver the message.
"The Lord uploads you in!"
Although he was not familiar with the world, Jia Baoyu also knew who the so-called "lord" was, which frightened him even more and he almost peed his pants.
This is actually not surprising. The emperor controls the life, death, honor and disgrace of hundreds of millions of subjects in the world, and is as majestic and prudent as a god in the hearts of the world.
Suddenly learning that he was about to meet the gods, how could Jia Baoyu not be afraid? Not peeing in his pants was considered mentally tough.
"When you enter the hall, you are not allowed to raise your head unless summoned, otherwise you will die!"
"In a moment..."
On the way into the palace, the eunuch who led the way kept talking and explaining the rules of audience to Jia Baoyu.
At this moment, in the bedroom of the palace, Zhu Jinghong's nightmare had ended and he was sleeping deeply with his eyes closed, knowing nothing about the outside world.
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and entered the main hall, which was already full of people, including Prince Yuan Chun, Prince Rui and his wife, as well as several high eunuchs from the inner court.
"Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion, please bow to your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live the emperor, and bow to the queen, may your empress live a thousand years..."
Before Jia Baoyu finished kowtowing, Yang Qingyin said, "Are you Jia Baoyu?"
"Exactly!"
Kneeling on the ground, Baoyu still lowered his head to reply, while Yuanchun on the side looked worried.
"I heard that you were born with a jade in your mouth, is this true?" Yang Qingyin asked coldly.
Hearing this, Yuanchun was shocked, and the matter was finally revealed.
When she was young, she felt that it was not a good thing to be born with a jade in her mouth, so she always advised her parents to keep a low profile.
No one mentioned it in recent years. I thought this matter would be over, but today it was brought to the fore.
Even though Baoyu was extremely smart, under the pressure of the two supreme beings, he was still walking on thin ice and didn't even know how to answer.
At this time, Princess Rui Chen Zhi, who was standing aside, spoke: "The Queen... was born with a jade in her mouth. This is a rare thing, and it is even more rare in a commoner's home!"
Yuan Chun knew what Chen Zhi was planning. Of course the opponent's target was not the Jia family, but to attack the prince through the Jia family.
There is no doubt that King Rui and his wife are going to add fuel to the storm tonight.
Therefore, in political struggles, there are rarely complex power strategies and strategies, and they are always about taking advantage of the situation and finding opportunities to exploit opportunities.
At this time, Prince Zhu Jingyuan said: "That's true. It's really rare to be born with a jade in your mouth!"
Hearing these words, Yuan Chun was even more helpless. The prince didn't see the situation clearly and instead helped Chen Zhi speak.
As disappointed as Yuanchun was the emperor who was sitting upright on the throne. This was the third time that the prince had made him angry today.
Rui Wang Zhu Jingyuan immediately said: "I think there is something fishy about this matter, dad... this matter must be investigated strictly, don't think there is someone with bad intentions and evil intentions!"
It's just a bad intention. The label of "evil intention" is put on it, and it's just that the Jia family is going to rebel.
The matter was of great importance, and before the prince could figure out the situation, he forced Yuan Chun to say: "Sixth brother, the matter of being born with a jade in his hand is all spread by people in the palace. It is pure nonsense. Why go to war over this!"
Because she is not the crown prince or concubine, although Yuanchun appears in public, she basically does not speak.
The fact that she spoke now proved that she was really cornered, it could even be said that she was cornered.
At this time, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Four, if you are spreading lies, let the Dongchang Jinyi Guards investigate and find out!"
There are Princess Rui's manpower in Dongchang Jinyiwei, so it is too easy to convict the Jia family.
Of course, whether he will be punished in the end depends on the emperor's will.
If he really gets to that point, Zhu Jingyuan will be the crown prince for the rest of his life.
"Sister, it's just a trivial matter, why bother to mobilize so much!"
"Fourth sister-in-law, just because Rongguo Mansion is your natal family, you won't favor it!"
Having said this, Chen Zhi looked at Yang Qingyin and said, "This Jia Jia Baoyu is your younger brother, isn't the thirteenth brother the same?"
These words are heartbreaking. If Yuanchun prefers to protect the Jia family and Baoyu, and ignores Zhu Jinghong's safety, then she will not be able to behave in the royal family.
"Father, emperor and mother, I would never have this intention!" Yuanchun knelt down quickly. If he couldn't explain this matter clearly, he would be in trouble.
Because she was not a royal concubine, Yuanchun did not dare to call herself daughter-in-law.
Baoyu on the side was in a state of confusion, just like his brother-in-law Zhu Jingyuan.
"Since Fourth Sister-in-law has no such intention, she should act impartially. Why bother to obstruct her repeatedly? Could it be that she feels that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are acting unfairly and will wrongfully accuse you of Rongguo Mansion!"
Although Chen Zhi has a warm expression and a gentle and joking look, every word he speaks is more cruel than the last.
Saying that Yuanchun despises the factory guards would offend people if word spread. He also called the Jia family "your Rongguo Mansion", which is tantamount to severing Yuanchun from the royal family.
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan also noticed something was wrong and wanted to scold Chen Zhi, but felt that it was not polite, not to mention this was in front of the emperor.
Zhu Jingyuan's expression on the side was calm, and he felt extremely happy in his heart, secretly saying that his wife was really awesome.
"Sister, why have I ever said these things? Don't you dare to spit on others!"
Facing Chen Zhi's fierce pursuit, Yuan Chun was already furious and his tone became sharp, but his confidence seemed insufficient.
"Since it's not the case, then just check it as you want!" Chen Zhiman smiled.
When Yuanchun was anxious, Queen Yang Qingyin finally spoke: "Sixth daughter-in-law, I have never seen you talk so much!"
