Seeing that Wang Bao was about to leave, the emperor stopped him again.
Thinking of the conflict between him and Jia Cong, it's better not to let him go.
If something happens again, it will be even more trouble. Ningguo Mansion is not a friendly place.
He was injured and unconscious at the time, and only heard about it later.
On the night of his assassination, Ningguo Mansion was also attacked by more than 2,000 people.
But the result was that more than 2,000 people were killed without leaving a single person alive. Their heads were chopped off, a temple was built in the city, and all the corpses were burned.
This was done by a group of women when Jia Cong was not at home, which shows how brutal they are.
When he heard about it, he felt a little creepy.
Listening to the Queen Mother's wishes, they originally wanted to kill Wang Bao. In order to avoid conflict with them, they chose to let the Queen Mother come forward.
If Wang Bao were to send him to his door, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?
After thinking for a moment, he decided that it would be better for his mother to come forward.
First, you can show goodwill to Jia Cong and express the royal closeness. The second is that the queen mother comes forward and can detect the reality of Ningguo Mansion in more detail.
After making the decision, he got up and went to Cining Palace.
"My son, I pay homage to my mother."
"The Emperor is here, sit down."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The emperor told the queen mother what he wanted.
"Mother, Jia Cong sent someone to pick up his family members. I feel a little worried, and I can't send someone to investigate directly. If it is a misunderstanding, it will not be good, and it will cause disputes.
It happened that last month, Jia Cong's wife and concubines gave birth to four children. I want the queen to go to Ningguo Mansion, in the name of rewarding the children, to see if they are still in the house and to see who else is there? "
Hearing what the emperor said, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that Huang Er was very worried about Jia Cong, which made her feel very uneasy.
This is not a good sign. If someone continues to stir up trouble in the middle, the relationship between the two is likely to change.
Maybe it will really push Jia Cong to the opposite side.
"Your Majesty, are you a little too worried? How can a child who is just one month old be able to travel a long distance? Your Majesty, don't accept the instigation of villains, as that will only damage the Great Wall."
The emperor said: "Don't worry, mother. I am not a fool and will not act rashly. It's just that some things are not clear. I am really unwilling to do so. That's why I asked my mother to come out and help me investigate."
Seeing her son say this, the Queen Mother couldn't say anything else.
"Okay, the Ai family will go to Ningguo Mansion in person and help the emperor investigate, so that you can feel at ease and dispel your doubts about Jia Cong."
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother agreed without hesitation.
There is nothing good to say about helping your son.
After bringing some small gifts, he took a group of maids and eunuchs and went to Ningguo Mansion.
······
Ningguo Mansion, inner courtyard.
"Concubine, please see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother suddenly came to the door, and Lin Daiyu quickly brought her daughters to pay her respects.
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Let's all get flat."
After everyone stood up, the Queen Mother said: "The King of Liaodong fought for the country and guarded the border. He worked hard and made great achievements. He could not go home to see his child. Knowing that he had an heir, the Ai family came to congratulate him and also took a look at the child. I don't know if he can do it." convenient?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Thank you very much for your concern, the Queen Mother. Both we and the prince will be grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness. The children are all at home, so there is no inconvenience. It is a blessing for the children to receive the Queen Mother's blessing."
Lin Daiyu asked people to carry all four children over, and even Polu was called out.
Seeing Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and hearing that the children were all at home, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
He is the least
He is willing to see a conflict between his son and Jia Cong.
Now that he sees all five of Jia Cong's children in front of him, he is completely relieved.
The tone of his speech was also more kind.
"The princess is really good at talking. With you as a good wife, it's no wonder that the King of Liaodong is so relieved to fight in the field. These children are really cute. The Ai family brought some gifts to the children, which can be regarded as a tribute to the Ai family. .”
After saying that, the palace maid behind her came up holding several trays, all covered with red silk.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
Lin Daiyu quickly thanked her and asked someone to take it over.
The Queen Mother completed the task and was in a very good mood. She chatted more with Lin Daiyu.
She had not seen Lin Daiyu many times. She didn't know why, but she always felt that it was different from the last time she saw her.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other, so the Queen Mother was not overly concerned about it.
After another conversation with Concubine Chen, I found out that several maids and concubines had gone to Liaodong, so I didn't care much.
A general like Jia Cong with a heavy army allowed his concubines to serve him by his side.
You can't help it even if you don't allow it. You can't let people stay away from women all year round, right? This is too inhumane.
Besides, it is impossible for these generals to be obedient.
The Queen Mother did not stay long. After achieving her goal, she left with her people.
After sending the Queen Mother away, everyone returned to the house.
Xue Baochai looked at Lin Daiyu with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Looking at Zijuan and Erya beside her, the doubts in their eyes became even more intense.
Why do you feel that Sister Lin is different? Could it be that he had an illusion?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zicuckoo and Erya not to discover it.
She always felt that Lin Daiyu now was a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different.
She felt it when they met the Queen Mother together.
I just kept enduring it and didn't show it.
After everyone left, Xue Baochai asked: "Are you Sister Lin? Why do I feel that you are a little weird?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Sister Bao, you are the weird one. What nonsense are you talking about? You don't even recognize your sister? You have a child and you can't sleep well and have hallucinations, right?"
"No, I've been in good spirits lately."
He turned to look at Zijuan and Erya and asked, "Zicjuan, you two follow Sister Lin every day. Don't you notice anything different about Sister Lin?"
Zijuan shook her head: "It's nothing different."
Erya also quickly shook her head, indicating that everything was normal.
This made Xue Baochai even more confused. Could it be that he was really dazzled and hallucinating.
Looking at Lin Daiyu again, I still felt that something was wrong.
Seeing the three people looking at him strangely, he returned to his yard with the child in his arms.
"Ying'er, have you noticed something different about Sister Lin?"
Ying'er hesitated for a while and then said: "Miss, it seems a little different, but there doesn't seem to be anything different, I can't tell. Miss, what do you suspect?"
Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment: "I suspect she is not Sister Lin, she just looks very similar to Sister Lin."
"Ah, you can't, right?"
Xue Baochai's words startled Ying'er.
There is no way someone would be bold enough to pretend to be a princess. No one from inside or outside the house can get in.
"If it's not the princess, who could it be, Zijuan and Erya? It's impossible not to see it, right?"
Xue Baochai nodded: "This is also what I am confused about. Zicuckoo has been following Sister Lin. It is impossible not to see that the three of them have some skills, and it is impossible for others to succeed. This makes me a little confused."
Ying'er said: "Miss, maybe you are overthinking. It's better not to think about these things. It's possible that the princess has changed her hairstyle and clothes today.
It's normal to wear different clothes and look a little different from before. "
"No, the prince is not at home. If something happens to Sister Lin, I can't explain it when the prince comes back. You can't say that I don't know anything. How do you want the prince to see me?
Don't make any noise about this matter. Pay more attention to Sister Lin recently and see if you can find anything. My feeling is not wrong. Sister Lin today is definitely a little weird. "
Xue Baochai is still very confident in herself. She believes in her eyes and her feelings.
The two have been together for nearly ten years and are very familiar with each other.
Do you want to tell the third sister and the fourth sister about this matter and ask them to help confirm it.
Seeing that her young lady was so determined, Ying'er felt a little panicked.
If this was replaced by someone, it would be a bit scary to think about it. If I went to investigate on my own and one of them was discovered, would they silence me?
But the young lady had already made up her mind, and as a maid, she had no choice but to do it.
"I understand, Miss. I will pay attention."
······
Seeing Xue Baochai gone, Lin Daiyu let out a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest and said, "Zicuckoo, you scared me to death just now. I thought Sister Bao really discovered something?"
Zicuckoo smiled and said, "If you are not very familiar with someone, you won't be able to discover anything. As long as there are no flaws, Miss Bao will only be suspicious and cannot really see anything."
Erya frowned: "You are still somewhat different from the princess in some details. Miss Bao is very perceptive and has already begun to doubt her. I am afraid that she will tell others and make everyone aware. If it doesn't work, just tell He must be honest."
Lin Daiyu said: "No one else has discovered anything, let alone outsiders. Let's see in two days and see what Sister Bao will do. If she doesn't give up, it won't be too late to tell her. We will continue tomorrow Get up early to exercise and keep your old habits."
Zicuckoo and Erya nodded, naturally they tried their best to cooperate.
The two of them were also a little helpless. Their master suddenly wanted to follow Chunlan and the others to Liaodong. In order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the court, they resorted to substituting others for others.
Let the Lingguan pretend to be Lin Daiyu, act as Lin Daiyu's substitute, and sit in Ningguo Mansion for her.
In fact, in recent years, Ling Guan has rarely appeared outside.
Almost all of them live in Lin Daiyu's yard, imitating Lin Daiyu's tone, expression, movements, habits, etc. every day, and feel free to be Lin Daiyu's stand-in.
Not many people know about this matter.
Except for Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu, only a few personal maids such as Zijuan and Erya knew the truth.
Of course, this matter also requires the consent of the senior official.
Only when you are willing can you be more attentive and avoid leaking any flaws.
When Jia Cong mentioned it to Ling Guan, he also told her some of the dangers.
Let her think it over carefully before making a decision.
The senior official thought for a moment and then agreed.
From then on, she became Lin Daiyu's personal maid, so that she could more conveniently observe Lin Daiyu's every move and imitate her perfectly.
Since he was trained as a substitute, Ling Guan would not appear with Lin Daiyu on a regular basis.
Or show up alone and get together with your former sisters.
Either she appeared as Lin Daiyu, which was considered a preview in advance. With Zicuckoo following her to cover, no one noticed.
As an actor, Lingguan still has some talent.
Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai was aware of it even though others didn't notice it.
However, this matter is not a big problem. It is best if you can hide it. If you really can't hide it, just tell her the truth directly and let her help keep it a secret.
Therefore, the three of them were not too worried.
At this time, Lin Daiyu was wearing armor, carrying a long sword at her waist, riding on a group of red horses, riding alongside Chunlan and Qiuju.
There were four female special operations team members behind them. Zijuan and Erya couldn't stay with them, so they asked the four of them to follow Lin Daiyu and be responsible for protecting her.
Behind these people were a dozen carriages, with Shi Xiangyun and others sitting in the carriages.
There were a hundred soldiers in front and behind, protecting everyone in the middle.
It was already fifty or sixty miles away from the capital. Chunlan looked at Lin Daiyu and whispered: "Princess, if you are tired, go and rest in the car. Riding a horse for a long time is also very tiring."
Lin Daiyu said happily: "I won't use it for the time being, and I can't run fast, so I don't think anything of it. It's my first time riding a horse, and it feels quite interesting. It's just that the road conditions here are not very good. Let's wait until we get tired. From now on, just go outside. Call me your commander."
"Yes, Commander."
A smile appeared on Chunlan's face. The mistress was going to Liaodong, and they couldn't stop her. They just had to protect her safety.
There will be no war in Liaodong this year, and safety is still guaranteed.
"No one is managing this section of the road. The road is uneven. Riding in a car is not as comfortable as riding a horse. It is incomparable with the road outside our Zhuangzi. After we leave Shanhaiguan, the road there will be easier. The commander ordered People have been leveled."
Lin Daiyu nodded: "The Marshal once said that if you want to get rich, it makes sense to build roads first. Only when the roads are smooth will more people come and go, and more businessmen will be willing to go there."
I looked up at the sky, and there was only a trace of sunset left in the sky.
"Chunlan, where should we stay tonight?"
Chunlan said: "If there are only us, we can camp outside. With them, we can only live in the inn, but the conditions in the inn are not very good, and they are incomparable with those at home."
"It doesn't matter. I have to make do with it when I'm away from home. You just make arrangements."
The group walked for more than ten miles, and when the sky turned dark, they stopped at the inn in front of them.
······
At this time, there was an uproar in Ningguo's mansion.
Because Xue Baoqin was missing, her maid searched for a long time but couldn't find him. She was crying anxiously and had no choice but to go find Xue Baochai.
"Miss, the second lady is missing. We have searched everywhere and found no one. What should we do?"
