In fact, sometimes, Dai Yu didn't know what the Retired Emperor was thinking. Why did he like watching his sons fight with each other so much?
However, these were none of her business. The Retired Emperor didn't have much time left. The Lin Family was on the right side now. As long as they didn't court death like the Jia Family, the Lin Family's second generation wouldn't show any signs of decline.
In the end, the Retired Emperor didn't make it past a few days and passed away.
After that, there was a series of funeral and mourning. However, for Dai Yu and Situ Lang, who were far away in Jiangnan, the impact was much smaller.
The only thing that had some impact was that the Retired Emperor's death caused the Seventh Prince to lose a lot of support. This caused the Seventh Prince's faction to restrain themselves a lot. This also allowed Situ Lang's plan to be carried out more smoothly.
"What?"
After Situ Lang heard that the doctor said that Dai Yu was pregnant, he couldn't maintain his elegant and unrestrained demeanor. He immediately rushed to Dai Yu's room.
In the end, Housekeeper Song sent the doctor away with a smile. Then, he began to reward the servants in the residence with a month's worth of money.
Housekeeper Song was really happy. Originally, the Situ Family only had the young master left. Fortunately, Lord Lin was kind and saved the young master. He even took the young master as his disciple and taught the young master wholeheartedly.
The young master also worked hard. He came third in the exam and his position became higher and higher.
Later, the young master married Miss Yu 'er. He watched Miss Yu' er grow up. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a good personality and was capable. Originally, he really didn't think that the young master could really marry such a good girl like Miss Yu 'er.
Now that the madam was also pregnant, the Situ Family would soon have a brother or sister. Master, Madam, and Miss should be able to rest in peace.
Situ Lang looked at Dai Yu, who was sitting on the bed. He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time. However, after the excitement, Situ Lang started to worry again.
Now, the Zhen Family already felt that the Emperor and he wanted to deal with them. They were constantly making small moves every day. He was afraid that when the time came, they would come and fight to the death.
He wasn't afraid of anything, but he was worried about Yu 'er. In addition, Yu' er was pregnant now. If something happened —
No — no, nothing will happen to Yu 'er.
"What's wrong? You look so serious. Don't you want me to get pregnant? "
When Dai Yu saw Situ Lang's expression, she knew what he was worried about. But who was she? She was a nine-tailed fox. How could she be afraid of the methods of those mortals?
She didn't want Situ Lang to worry, so Dai Yu could only tease him with words and then pretend to be sad.
"How is that possible? You know I'm just worried about you. Sigh — the situation outside is getting more and more severe. I'm afraid that the Zhen family will be forced into a corner and deal with you. You know, I'm just worried that you'll get hurt. "
Not long after the Retired Emperor passed away, Noble Consort Zhen also passed away due to 'falling ill from grief'. All of a sudden, the Seventh Prince lost two great helpers, so he was naturally anxious. Situ Lang was afraid that the Seventh Prince and those people from the Zhen family would really take desperate measures and fight to the death with the Emperor. When that time came, he, the chess piece that the Emperor had placed in Jiangnan, would naturally be the first to be used.
Situ Lang thought for a long time. Actually, the best way now was to let Yu 'er return to the capital. That was the Emperor's place. No matter how arrogant the Seventh Prince was, he wouldn't dare to force the Emperor to abdicate without being fully prepared. In addition, the Imperial Army was now completely controlled by the Emperor. The capital was still very safe.
Moreover, with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, they would naturally take good care of Yu 'er.
However, putting aside the problem of Yu 'er's safety on the way back to the capital, Situ Lang himself didn't have the confidence to persuade Yu' er to return to the capital. All along, Yu 'er had been a very opinionated person.
Sigh —
Take it slow! No matter what, as long as he was still alive, he would protect Yu 'er.
The Retired Emperor had passed away. For a time, the situation in the imperial court changed. All the ministers had their tails between their legs. For a time, even those hedonistic sons who usually fought cocks and walked dogs in the capital had decreased a lot.
After all, the ministers who went to the imperial court every day had personally experienced the battle between the Emperor and the Retired Emperor. Now that the Retired Emperor had passed away, the Emperor would take the opportunity to settle old scores with those who used to work under the Retired Emperor.
Don't talk about filial piety. In the imperial family, there was no kinship to begin with.
Recently, the new imperial party was naturally very happy. They were all thinking about how to deal with their former sworn enemies. On the other hand, the former Retired Emperor's party were all regretting it to death. They had to live carefully with their tails between their legs. They were afraid that they would accidentally attract the Emperor's attention. At that time, losing their official position was a small matter. If they were careless and lost their lives, it would be troublesome.
At this time, the Seventh Prince's party had a disagreement and was divided into two sides.
One side advocated taking advantage of the unstable situation in the capital to directly ride the cavalry and seize the throne.
The other side was seeking stability. They wanted to wait for the time to mature before taking action.
The Seventh Prince was originally spoiled by the Retired Emperor. Although he had some ability, he was a person who didn't have his own opinions. His temperament was not firm. He was very easily influenced by the people around him.
Now that he saw the people around him quarreling, he was even more at a loss.
Just when the Seventh Prince's side was quarreling, the Emperor's side had already begun to take action.
First, he promoted some people in public but demoted them secretly. It could be said that he had completely taken over them. He also took this opportunity to take back a lot of his strength.
As for the other group of people, they were transferred out of the capital. If these people were smart enough to know that they had to be obedient, they would be fine. If they weren't smart enough, it would be a problem whether they could live to be transferred.
As for the people who were left in the capital in the end, they should prepare their own coffins!
Because it could be seen that the Emperor didn't want to let them go at all when he left them in his own territory.
When the Retired Emperor passed away, the Emperor, as his son, definitely had to observe filial piety. However, the Emperor was the Emperor after all. So after the final discussion, the Emperor only needed to observe filial piety for three months.
Not long after three months, the Emperor issued an edict. In the harem, the imperial concubines and above could go home to visit their relatives.
The reason was that they prayed for the Retired Emperor during the mourning period. The Emperor was touched by their filial piety to the Retired Emperor, so he allowed them to go home to visit their relatives.
Jia Yuanchun happened to be an imperial concubine. Naturally, she could go home to visit her relatives. Jia Yuanchun had been away from home for more than ten years. Now that she could go home to see her relatives, there was no need to mention the excitement in her heart. Moreover, she could go home to visit her relatives because of the Emperor's grace. This was a supreme honor.
Because of the Emperor's edict, the capital became lively. There was no longer the coldness and caution when observing filial piety for the Retired Emperor.
"It's really funny. I've never seen such shameless people. They schemed against our family before, and now they dare to come and borrow money. Father is really too much. He actually lent money to them."
Whenever Jin Xuan thought of his father lending money to his so-called Second Uncle, his heart would feel suffocated. He didn't forget how rude the Jia family was before, especially that phoenix egg of their family — — Jia Baoyu. When he first saw his sister, his eyes couldn't wait to stick to his sister.
"They're already waiting on the road to court. They can't hide, what else can they do? It's only ten thousand taels of silver. Just treat it as sending a beggar to do a good deed. What? You're still feeling sorry for the money? "
Jin En looked at his younger brother's unhappy little face and smiled as he joked.
"Humph — — It's only ten thousand taels of silver. Am I the kind of person who only cares about money? It's just that when I think of that family, I feel disgusted. "
Jin En didn't say anything and only smiled.
But when he thought of Jia Zheng's complacent appearance when he "borrowed money", he felt that it was ridiculous.
Hehe — — Others didn't know the situation in the palace, but he was good friends with the Crown Prince — — who was also the Fifth Prince's legitimate son. To be disrespectful, his relationship with the Crown Prince was closer than the Crown Prince and his brothers.
He was very clear about Jia Yuanchun's situation in the palace. Because of his mother's relationship with the Jia family, the Crown Prince had privately told him about the Emperor's attitude towards the Jia family, so that the Lin family had an idea.
Jia Yuanchun was just a chess piece that the Emperor used to deal with the so-called Four Great Families of Jin Ling. Although she was a "Consort Xian De" and the Emperor would usually go to her palace, it was just a simple chat under the quilt.
It should be known that if the Emperor really favored that consort, the Empress would use a seal. And as the Empress's son, the Crown Prince would occasionally "hear" about these things.
It was ridiculous that the Jia family really thought that Jia Yuanchun was a favored consort.
In a place like the harem where people were eaten without spitting out the bones, if the Emperor really doted on someone, why would he suddenly promote her by two ranks and push her in front of everyone as a target?
And this family visit — —
He thought about how before the Emperor issued the decree, the Crown Prince had asked him to go to Jiangnan to buy some strange stones, precious flowers, and wood.
Then he thought about the popularity of the shops under the Lin family's name during this period of time. Jin En suddenly felt that those families that had consorts visiting their families were so pitiful!
However, the Jia family — — must be cleanly severed. Although his mother's family at that time was his maternal grandfather's family, they were courting death, so he couldn't do anything about it.
