Chapter 132 The Dream of the Red Mansion 4
When Tu Jing heard that he was able to find out the person who committed the Gu, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Tao, please clarify."
Now Tu Jing is very convinced of Tao Shuobai's ability. Although the time is short, one day is enough for him to find out the origin of Tao Shuobai.This document clearly explained Tao Shuobai's relationship with the Lin family when he came from Yangzhou, as well as the gift of medicine to Mrs. Lin's family.Although apart from other things, it is not clear where her ancestral home is and who her teacher is, but Lin Ruhai asked her to be her daughter's teacher, and in just four or five years, the little girl who was with Yao back then has been healthy and healthy.
Tu Jing guessed that Xu was a child of a hermit family who came out to practice. With such ability, even at a young age, he is a well-deserved master.Although Tu Jing keeps a low profile in order to avoid suspicion, it doesn't mean that such capable people are rejected when they appear, so Tu Jing no longer asks people to continue to investigate, and he respects Tao Shuobai's attitude very much.
It's not that Tu Jing is gullible, he just knows that being paranoid doesn't pay off, and if he annoys someone, the opportunity will be wasted.As a prince, wanting to gamble on the throne is a big gamble, and he is timid everywhere, so it is better to guard the imperial tomb.
"Although this Gu worm is small, its whole body is as white as jade, and it can emit white light in the night. It is forced to sleep at this time. If it wakes up and finds that it has separated from its host, it will instinctively return to the vomitor. Its speed Soon, His Highness will choose two people with the best skills to go with me, and it is best to find them tonight, this Gu worm is too evil, and there may be other unknown means, I am afraid that things will change if it is too late." Tao Shuobai said this mainly because he was worried that once the Gu worm was taken out, the person who cast the Gu would detect it. If the other party detects and cuts off the blood contract, it will be difficult to find another person.
"Both of you go with Mr. Tao." Tu Jing ordered the two guards in the room.
Tao Shuobai opened the door, and said to Xu Yan who was waiting outside: "You wait for me here, I will find someone."
Xu Yan originally planned to go together, but after thinking about it, he decided to stay.
Tao Shuobai shot out a thin stream of spiritual energy, awakening the Gu worms, and the Gu worms shot out as if shocked, he followed immediately, and at the same time said: "Follow!"
The two guards didn't react, and the person in front of them disappeared.Fortunately, the two of them were also trained since they were young, so they were very skilled, so they immediately chased after them, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from the night.
Dai Quan exclaimed: "Your Highness, this Mr. Tao is really a master."
Tu Jing couldn't help but thank Uncle Zhongshun, if it wasn't for the uncle's whim, I'm afraid that Mr. Tao would never have come to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
When Tao Shuobai woke up the Gu worms, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness, and all parts of the capital were shrouded by his spiritual consciousness.He is very clear that once the Gu worm leaves the host, the person who cast the Gu must have a sense, and he deliberately cut off the breath when taking the Gu worm.Now to catch people, it's just time to scare the snake. If the vomiter wants to cut off the blood contract, the worm will die immediately, and once the vomiter makes a move, he will definitely perceive it.
After a few breaths, Gu worms flew into a mansion and went straight to the inner house.
Tao Shuobai sneaked in without any pressure, and the two behind finally caught up, but they only fell outside the mansion.The two looked at each other, shocked and reasonable: "This is the Third Prince's Mansion, you and I are not strong enough, I am here waiting for Mr. Tao to come out, you go back and report to His Highness first."
It was already Chouchu, everything was silent, and everyone in the mansion was sleeping peacefully except for the patrolling guard of the night lady.
There is a small courtyard, but the lights are bright, and a maid is going in with a copper basin to serve.
The concubine Jia lived in this room, and she has been very favored in the past six months. Not only did she overshadow all the side concubines, concubines and concubines, even the third imperial concubine occasionally avoided her.
Why did the third imperial concubine pay attention to the Jia family in the first place? She is clearly the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion, but she enters the palace to be a female historian. Who knows the plan of the Duke's mansion?I really don't know whether Jia's luck is good or not. She got the empress's eyes, but she never got into the eyes of the emperor. She is almost 25 years old.According to the rules in the palace, apart from the special grace, the maids of the palace will leave the palace and go home when they reach the age of 25.But last year, the empress bestowed Jia's family to the third prince, and the third prince still hated her in front of her that day, but she fell in love with her within half a month.
This Concubine Jia Shu is Jia Yuanchun!
At this moment, Yuan Chun's face was very pale, and his expression also showed listlessness. She held Qin and wiped her face carefully, and she waved her hand to make them all retreat.There was no one in the room, so Yuan Chun didn't need to support any more, and fell limply on the bed, feeling exhausted all over.
Yuan Chun is 24 years old this year, he is no longer young for a woman, and he looks older for a woman in the palace.The family sent her into the palace with great expectations, but who knew that she had no skills, and she still failed to win the emperor's favor at the age of 23.She didn't expect to be sent home at her age, which not only disappointed her family, but how could she find a good marriage at her age?She decided to take a gamble, the emperor is old, but the princes are still young, the queen has no sons, she has shown her kindness to the princes, if she can go to the prince's mansion, she will be able to help in the future.
Unexpectedly, she had a dream when she first arrived at the Prince's Mansion. She dreamed that a person who called herself "Jing Huan Fairy" invited her into a fairy mist, and she saw that she was given to the fourth prince, who later became the throne , I was named a virtuous concubine.Dang Jing Huan Xiangu said that the old man asked her to take care of the Jia family, so she was willing to help her to regain her destiny.How could Yuanchun refuse?Regardless of whether Fairy Jing Huan's test is true or not, when she finds out that she may soar to the sky and be honored as a noble concubine, and the Jia family will get rich and glorious because of it, she cannot refuse.
Fairy Jing Huan handed her a small Gu worm, and she formed a blood contract with the Gu worm, and if she saw something that the fourth prince had touched, the Gu worm would look for the breath to find the fourth prince, and enter his body to hibernate .The most difficult thing about this matter is how to obtain the objects that the fourth prince has touched. Under the strict etiquette system, this is really too difficult for her.But Fairy Jing Huan instructed her to attack the third prince and taught her the art of intercourse in her dream.
Yuan Chun was smart since he was a child, even if he was dizzy at first, he realized it later.Although she didn't know the reason, she knew that Fairy Jing Huan didn't want to do these things by herself, otherwise the matter would be so simple for Fairy.
She couldn't turn back, and finally released the Gu worm.
Whenever Gu worms snatch vitality from the fourth prince, they will be transferred to her through the blood contract, and she will transfer this vitality to the third prince through the technique in the room.In this way, even if the third prince doesn't know the reason, he is uncontrollably infatuated with her.
Everything was going well at first, but tonight, when I was asleep, I found that the Gu worms had flown back.
She was shocked!Fortunately, Fairy Jing Huan once said that this Gu is rare, and she was required to recall the Gu insect when the fourth prince was about to die, and then cut off the blood contract.She knew only a little about Gu worms, and all she knew and used were the instructions of Fairy Jing Huan, but she instinctively felt that something was wrong, so she immediately cut off the blood contract, who knows that she will suffer backlash.
Fortunately, the condition is not serious, and she will get sick because of it, but she is more afraid of the unknown.
Why did the Gu worm suddenly fly back?Is there any expert?
Yuan Chun was inexplicably terrified and forced herself to sleep. She hoped that Fairy Jing Huan would feel something and come to her dream to explain her doubts.Maybe it was because the suggestion was too strong, or maybe it was because she was too tired, but she really fell asleep.
She saw a piece of fairy mist again, there were fairy grass and viburnum in front of her, Yaotai pavilions, she was sure, she immediately called: "Xiangu, please show up, Yuanchun, please see Xiangu."
Suddenly hearing the tinkling bells, the fairy mist parted like flowing water, and a graceful fairy appeared. This woman is Fairy Jinghuan.
"What do you want to see?" Fairy Jing Huan didn't know about the Gu worms yet.
"Xiangnu Rongzhi, that Gu worm..."
"What a police fairy!" A voiceless voice suddenly rang out in the air.
"Who is it!" Fairy Jing Huan was shocked.
But Yuan Chun felt like thunder was exploding in his head, and he passed out all of a sudden, his body became pale in the blink of an eye, and disappeared here.Fairy Jing Huan couldn't care about her, she was vigilant while making tricks to get out of here.
Although this was Yuan Chun's dream, it was not in her consciousness.Jing Huan created an illusion, just like seducing Jia Baoyu's soul back then, and led Yuan Chun here in his sleep.Normally, even the slightest change would not escape her perception, but it happened that someone sneaked in and she didn't know it.She immediately understood that the person who came was more cultivated than her, and listening to the voice, the person who came was not kind.
Tao Shuobai came out from the mist, holding a peach-wood sword in his hand.
He could see through Fairy Jing Huan's cultivation base at a glance, she was at the peak of Jindan late stage, and she could transform into a baby just by fighting for a line.Don't underestimate the difference of this one step, countless people have been trapped throughout the ages, and Tao Shuobai also sees from this that Fairy Jing Huan's reason for violating the rules and intervening in human affairs must be to benefit from it, turning her into a baby.
Fairy Jing Huan couldn't see his cultivation and wanted to leave, but found that he was trapped.Her face was cold and cold: "This fellow Taoist, why do you want to meddle in your own business?"
Tao Shuobai stopped talking nonsense with her, and immediately drew out his sword.
Fairy Jing Huan's complexion changed frequently, and she had no choice but to deal with it. She had a lot of magic weapons on her body, but as soon as she sacrificed, she saw the sword light sweeping across, and the magic weapons were instantly split in half and turned into waste.Jing Huan's complexion began to turn pale, and she insisted: "I am the Fairy Jing Huan who is in charge of Nie Hai Qing Tian. I am in charge of the customs of the world. First, the Taoist friends changed the fate of mortal women for no reason, and now they are cruel to me. Hand, aren't you afraid of punishment from heaven?"
"Tiangui?" Tao Shuobai couldn't express the sarcasm in his tone.
He pointed the mahogany sword towards the sky, raised his hand to form a seal, muttered something in his mouth, moved his wrist lightly, and the tip of the sword began to move in a certain order.Soon, there was the sound of rolling thunder above her head, and Fairy Jing Huan trembled in shock and wanted to hide, but she saw Xuan Lei landed instantly and landed on her body without any error, Jing Huan let out a scream.At the same time, the illusion was shattered, this place is not Niehaiqingtian, it is simply in the forest on the outskirts of the capital.
This is not the thunder of crossing the catastrophe, but the thunder of punishment.
Fairy Jing Huan has a lot of arrangements in the world, but she dare not directly attack the fourth prince, and specially dispatched a monk to pretend to be a ghost, just to avoid the punishment of heaven, who knows...
The second thunder, the third thunder...the nine thunders have been struck, and Fairy Jing Huan's screams have long been lost in the thunder.When the thunder stopped, everything was silent, and the stars in the sky were still bright.But seeing the flying ash of vegetation within a radius of one mile, thanks to the formation formed by Tao Shuobai in advance to isolate it, otherwise there would be no grass in this forest.
In the center of the formation, there was a palm-sized puppet stand-in, whose heart exploded and his whole body was black.
This result is not surprising, at the beginning all the monks had escape skills, let alone Jing Huan Xiangu.However, even if Jing Huan escaped death, it would still be difficult. The power of the sky thunder should not be underestimated. So what about the death kalpa?Not to mention how long it will take to recover from the injury, with this shadow, how can she survive the thunder and transform into a baby?
As soon as the formation was withdrawn, suddenly there was thunder roaring a hundred miles away.
Looking up, black clouds cover the starry sky, gathering rapidly, and thunder is brewing.
"Thunder Tribulation!" Tao Shuobai was surprised, and suddenly a thought flashed through - Fairy Jing Huan?
Tao Shuo shrunk his ground to an inch, and in an instant he was near Jieyun, and he saw the ghost under the thundercloud.At this time, Jing Huan's face was extremely pale, he had changed into a cassock, and the corner of his mouth was still dripping with blood, but he had to endure the pain in his meridians and bones and quickly set up the lightning formation.She also didn't expect the breakthrough opportunity she had been looking for to come suddenly. If she had been pleasantly surprised before, but now...
She had just experienced a thunder tribulation just now, she was extremely lucky to escape with her life, how could she carry it again now.Even, she didn't understand why she got the opportunity to be promoted at this time, and she had already prepared for the worst.
When she inadvertently raised her head and saw Tao Shuobai standing on the top of the mountain, her heart trembled.Then he raised his head to look at Jie Yun above his head, and suddenly raised his palm to slap his heart, and then fell limp and lifeless on the ground.
With Jing Huan's death, the thunder cloud gradually dissipated.
Tao Shuobai frowned, he didn't think that Jing Huan would commit suicide willingly, under the real thunder cloud, any substitute would be useless, and the thunder cloud would disperse, indicating that the person is indeed dead, even the soul does not exist in the world.He guessed that Jing Huan must have seen that he couldn't escape death, so he simply used death to retreat from the thunder cloud. He must have taken precautions against this earlier and prepared a countermeasure.
Forget it, after all, the police illusion is no longer a climate, and even if you are alive, you have to rebuild.
Tao Shuobai ignored Jia Yuanchun and went straight back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
When I came back, I found that every house in the city was lit, and the city tower was full of people, so I knew it immediately.Tonight's Lei Tai is abnormal, and the emperor should not be able to sleep again.
"Shuobai!" Xu Yan came forward and observed him carefully.
"I'm fine."
Tu Jing felt that the atmosphere between the two was slightly different, but he was not interested in other people's private affairs, so he only asked, "Mr. Tao, how is the matter?"
"It's the third prince's man, but that man is quite capable. Although he was injured, he still escaped." Although the third prince didn't know about this, the benefits fell on him, and Jia Yuanchun was indeed the third prince's man, so There is nothing wrong with speaking.If Jia Yuanchun is revealed truthfully, it will make things complicated.The result of Fairy Jing Huan's "escape" was the result of his discussion with Xu Yan earlier.
"Why did the third prince focus on me?" This was Tu Jing's biggest question after learning about this matter. Even though he kept a low profile, maybe his plot was discovered, but compared with the other brothers, he did not have much advantage. Why did the third prince want his life?
Tao Shuobai was speechless.
Tu Jing didn't expect to get an answer, he bowed deeply to Tao Shuobai to thank him, and said: "Mr. Tao has saved my life, so I must thank you very much."
Tao Shuobai nodded, said goodbye to Xu Yan and left.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Tianjian was ordered to go out of the city to check the thunderstorm last night. There were many discussions in the city.Qin Tianjian reported the results of the survey to the emperor, the emperor was startled, and had a private conversation with Qin Tianjian for half an hour. Two days later, the imperial court suddenly issued an edict to abdicate, and it was said that the fourth prince, Tu Jing, was located!
The ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.
Not only the others, but even Tu Jing who was hit by the throne were stunned. After a brief surprise, he suddenly calmed down.As the weakest prince succeeding to the throne, how could the other brothers be convinced?These brothers hold real power, have many party members, and their mother and wife families are strong, so they are not easy to control, but the Supreme Emperor personally ordered a group of brothers to be crowned as princes, and repeatedly asked him to be respectful, implying that he has obtained great benefits. Be merciful to your brother.
He suddenly felt that this was a game set up by the Supreme Emperor.
One must know that he was ill before, and although he has recovered now, it has only been a few days, and his body has not recovered at all.From his current appearance, one can see that he is still sick. There are so many strong brothers who are not chosen, but he is chosen...
Tu Jing thought about the Taishanghuang's series of actions again, and felt a chill in his heart—this is for him to be the puppet emperor!
Tu Jing was not afraid of such an embarrassing situation. After all, he was already the emperor, and he had endured it for so many years. Would he be afraid to endure it for a few more years?
Regarding Tu Jing's situation, Tao Shuobai was a little clearer, apart from the suffering of his fate, it was also because of his luck being swallowed up at the beginning.Fortunately, it was easy to devour vitality, but difficult to get luck. Tu Jing only lost part of his luck.Besides, vitality can be brought back, and so can luck, which is not static.For example, Tao Shuobai's participation in this matter is Tu Jing's luck, and the third prince is the most beautiful among the princes, suppressing the limelight of the new emperor.
Lin Ruhai's appointment has also come down, and he was promoted to Minister of the Household Department, and also to lead the prince and Taifu.
For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of Lin's house, and it was very lively.
Promotion is a big deal, Lin Ruhai has to entertain a few tables, but he still refuses to make too much publicity.Jia Min has been married to him for many years, how could he handle this matter properly without knowing what he meant.
Not only colleagues from the officialdom, noble relatives of the emperor, but also relatives from the Jia family came here this day.Ever since she returned to Beijing, Jia Min no longer wanted to associate with the Jia family. Due to the rules and reputation, she had to walk around. Every time she went to the Jia family, and every time she saw a Jia family member, the hatred in her heart was tumbling.
Jia's mother is a shrewd old lady, knowing that her children and grandchildren's abilities are limited, she is more satisfied with Lin Ruhai who has been promoted to a first-rank official, and she does not want the two families to be alienated.At the same time, the marriage of the two jades floated up in her heart again.A few years ago, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min both declined this matter. It was because Jia's mother was annoyed and hadn't contacted her daughter for a long time.But Mother Jia only has this one direct daughter, why doesn't she feel hurt?Jia Min never bowed his head. Could it be that Mrs. Jia, an old lady, should bow her head to her daughter first?It wasn't until the Lin family went to Beijing this time that Jia Min had no choice but to go to Jia's house for the sake of Lin Ruhai's future and the reputation of his children.
Almost everyone in Jia's family came that day, even Mrs. Wang who wanted to excuse her illness couldn't escape.
Jia Baoyu kept saying, "Old lady, I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, and she doesn't come to live with us either. She always says that she needs to study and learn things. How tiring is that. Tell my aunt, don't be tired. Take my sister and invite her to our house to play."
Jia's mother sighed in her heart, but Baoyu had Daiyu in her heart, and she was born to the Lin family to avoid suspicion.
In addition to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng, Jia Jia Sanchun, Xue Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun also came. Lin's own servants led them to the second gate, but the servants stopped Baoyu.
"Second Master Bao, inside is the place to entertain the female relatives. The male guests are at the front. Second Master Bao will come with the younger ones." It was a young servant who spoke. Jia Min knew Baoyu's temper well, so he specially sent someone to wait here to stop him. Otherwise, if he really went in, wouldn't he offend all the wives and girls who came here.
Baoyu didn't want to, so she tugged on Jia Mu's sleeve and acted like a baby: "Old Ancestor, I don't want to go to the front. There is a lot of noise in the front, full of alcohol. I want to go with my sister..."
"Baoyu! What are you talking about!" Mrs. Wang sneered coldly: "Go over quickly, the master is here, be careful that the master can't find you."
When Jia Zheng was mentioned, Baoyu's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to argue any more, so he trotted forward immediately.
After waiting for the others to leave, Mother Jia said in a low voice, "I know you are his mother. I shouldn't have said anything when you disciplined Baoyu, but Baoyu is only so old. I know he is afraid of Lao Tzu, so why bother to scare him? If you get sick from fright What should I do if I come? It’s rare to come out, and relatives should also pay more attention!”
"The old lady taught me the lesson." Mrs. Wang bowed her head obediently, but the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn.The Lin family had a lot of guests and servants today, and Mother Jia said that she would not save face for Baoyu as a mother, so why would a mother-in-law save face for her daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Xing likes to see Mrs. Wang deflated, not to mention how happy she is.
Mother Jia caught a glimpse of Mrs. Xing's unconcealed gloating face, and immediately became angry: "At least it's Mrs. General, what do you look like!"
If Jia Mu scolded Mrs. Wang, the reason was the marriage of the two jades. Mrs. Wang kept the Xue family in the mansion without saying anything, and there were rumors of a golden jade marriage, obviously to fight her.Originally, she thought that Jia Min would definitely agree to the marriage, and Jia Zheng also listened to her, but the Lin family refused.
Jia Baoyu was about to go to the big flower hall where he received guests, when he suddenly saw a young man in white approaching, his eyes straightened immediately.Baoyu loved beauties since she was young, regardless of gender, she used to think that Jingqing, Liu Xianglian and others were extremely outstanding, but who knows that seeing this person today, her temperament and appearance are even more extraordinary.
When this person passed by, Baoyu dared not breathe.
"Second Master Bao? Second Master Bao!" The servant called several times.
Baoyu came back to his senses, and the young man in white clothes just now had disappeared, so he hurriedly asked the servant: "Who was that young man just now?"
The boy smiled and said, "That's Mr. Tao, our girl's teacher."
