Entrust an Orphan

【It was obvious that I started to code in advance, but it seemed that I didn’t look ahead…】

Since separation from Jiao Shun, Tanchun returned to the east wing alone.

This place is where several young girls in the family temporarily rest. In addition to Lin Daiyu, Yingchun and Xichun, there are more than a dozen relatives in the other family.

Seeing that the three girls from the Zhang family came in from outside, they stood up from all over, and each one was either greeting him or retreating from behind based on their nature.

The most eye-catching of those who are moving forward is Yingchun, and the most eye-catching of those who are retreating is Lin Daiyu. Yingchun enthusiastically invited Tanchun to sit down, but Lin Daiyu, not far away, turned her head and neck awkwardly.

It’s not that she and the other two reacted so much. Others couldn’t imagine why Jia She died, but Lin Daiyu and Yingchun were both insiders.

Yingchun hated Jia She so much that she naturally would not have any idea of ​​avenging her father, but instead was grateful to Tanchun.

Although Lin Daiyu didn't like Jia She, she couldn't have the idea of ​​getting close to her when she thought of Tanchun killing her own uncle without hesitation.

Tanchun could understand her mood. After all, in this era of advocating ignorance, loyalty and filial piety, although her actions were to protect her family, she still could not escape the word "debtor". How dare she ask others for understanding?

As long as Sister Lin promises to keep her mouth shut.

On the other side.

Jiao Shun, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen exchanged a few greetings before they were led into the mourning hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw several gazes looking at each other, but there were four women who were involved in it, namely Xing, You, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng.

The Xing family's gaze was the most intense inside, and Jiao Shun remembered the old story of the Mei family in just a moment.

But he immediately gave up the idea and joked that the four people in the hall knew each other well. If they joined forces to control the stillness and remove the roughness and retain the essence, even if they did not give Jia She a burial with him, they would have to take off a layer of skin.

Besides, Jiao is not a pervert, so how can he be listed as a common example when Cao Pi's affairs in the mourning hall be replaced by Cao Pi?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly kept his body and kept his eyes fixed on his face. Following Jia Lian's guidance, he came to the spiritual throne, took the sandalwood lit by Jia Zhen and bowed three times. He was about to insert it into the incense burner, but suddenly heard a noise outside.

Subconsciously looking back, he saw a familiar figure rushing towards him and shouted from a distance: "Master Jiao, Master Jiao, Your Majesty is summoned, follow our family to quickly enter the palace to meet the saint!"

Jiao Shun was shocked and stuffed the incense to Jia Lian, quickly greeted the door and asked, "Eunuch Qiu, is it really your Majesty summoned me?"

"It is true that Your Majesty summoned him."

The person who came was Jiao Shun's old friend Qiu Shi'an. He answered cautiously and then looked around and reminded Jiao Shun that this place was not the place to speak.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun hurriedly rushed back and bowed, "Brother Zhen, second brother Lian, forgive me for being rude!"

As he said that, he pulled Qiu Shi'an, who was about to take a breath, and then left the east crossing courtyard of Rongfu again.

This suddenly became hasty, and when the two of them left, the mourning hall suddenly exploded.

No matter how happy the people in Rongguo Mansion heard that the emperor woke up.

But Jiao Shun pulled Qiu Shi'an all the way to the gate, and saw that there was no one around, then he asked again: "Eunuch Qiu, Your Majesty is really awake?"

"I'm really awake, just..."

"Just what?"

"Oh~"

Qiu Shi'an sighed, wanted to speak for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "You will know naturally when you see Your Majesty."

Seeing his mood, Jiao Shun's passionate heart suddenly became cold again.

Although Qiu Shian refused to tell the emperor's situation clearly, the two of them took the same car on the way, and he did not hide the recent changes in the palace.

Since Emperor Longyuan fell ill, the Supreme Emperor took over government affairs for granted. After three consecutive days of court resignation, the Supreme Emperor stood behind the scenes to the front desk, and yesterday he met several cabinet ministers and six ministers at Renshou Palace.

Also attending the meeting was King Zhongshun Xu Feng.

If it is said that King Zhongshun has been quite "diligent" recently, he enters the palace before dawn every day and leaves at night.

During this period, he didn't see him counseling any major military affairs. He was just responsible for acting as the emperor's eyes and reciting memorials for him.

According to the secret rumor in the palace, every time King Zhongshun left, Xia Shouzhong would review whether the memorials read by King Zhongshun were wrong at the instructor of the Supreme Emperor.

This last rumor finally made Jiao Shun feel a little relieved. Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor did not fully trust King Zhongshun, otherwise with his vengeful personality, he would be afraid that he would not have the best results of his own.

Of course, if the emperor cannot afford to suffer from illness, even if King Zhongshun does not interfere, he will probably not have good results.

Another thing is that after the emperor woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, he recalled Dai Quan, who was vented out of anger, to his side. However, he didn't know if he had time or even thought about it, the confinement order of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun has not been cancelled for the time being.

I won't repeat the book.

As usual, I entered the palace from Donghua Gate and went unobstructed to the outside of the bedroom gate.

I saw more than a dozen concubines kneeling in front of the door and praying for the emperor. Looking inside, four or five concubines were kneeling in front of the apricot yellow curtains. What was better than those outside was that there were soft cushions under these knees.

Qiu Shi'an asked Jiao Shun and others to be in the corridor. He was about to enter the door to communicate with him. Dai Quan, who was haggard, had already come out of the inside and called out: "It's been here, hurry up, hurry up and meet the saint with our family."

At this moment, countless eyes gathered here in the house.

Most of them were surprised, but some were jealous. After all, after the emperor woke up in the middle of the night, except for the queen and Concubine Wu, no concubine in the harem could enter the house. Instead, Jiao Shun, an external minister, had such honor.

Jiao Shun bowed his body and walked into the hall without looking sideways. Under Dai Quan's guidance, he passed through the apricot yellow curtain. Then he saw Emperor Longyuan lying motionless on the bed, guarding two noble ladies in front of the bed.

One of them is tall and dignified, but the clothes are probably the queen.

The petite and lovely person next to him is naturally Concubine Wu.

"Empress."

Sure enough, Dai Quan walked through the curtain and first thought about the tall lady and bowed: "Mr. Jiao is here."

When the queen heard this, she glanced at Jiao Shun first, then hurriedly lowered her body and said to Emperor Longyuan: "Long live, Jiao Changqing has arrived."

It was obvious that she had hoarseness and sobs in her voice.

After saying that, he lowered his body again and pressed his ear to the emperor's mouth.

After a while, the queen stood up and greeted, "Your Majesty asked you to speak in front of you."

As he said that, he pulled Concubine Wu to the side.

Jiao Shun looked at Dai Quan in front of him, and when he saw that he was leaning aside, he carefully approached the bed.

But I saw the emperor lying on the bed, staring at him with one eye, while the other half opens and half closes to the top of the tent; half of his face was unwilling and half twisted and hideous.

really……

The emperor woke up because he woke up, but he fell into a paralysis. I don’t know if there is any chance of recovery in the future.

At this time, the queen whispered: "You might as well get closer."

"Forgive me for losing my manners."

Jiao Shun bowed slightly to the emperor, then he imitated the queen's appearance and put his ears to Emperor Longyuan's ears.

After waiting for a while, the emperor said vaguely: "...Taizu...the great ambitions are not...the new policy..."

Jiao Shun could not have thought of him falling into such a field, but still thinking about his ambitions. He was moved at the moment and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty only needs to be well-off. When the dragon's body is healthy, why worry about not raising great ambitions?"

The emperor's face showed a little joy, but then he returned to sorrow. After a while, his mouth began to wriggle again.

Jiao Shun hurriedly took his breath and listened, but the emperor said vaguely: "I only... destroy the government... the government is extinguished..."

"Your Majesty will turn bad luck into good luck!"

Jiao Shun said, getting up and taking a step back, kneeled down and stepped on his feet and shouted: "I will die of death without a burial place, and I will also strive to ensure that the new policy will not be lost!"

In the past, although Jiao Shun was timid in facing Emperor Longyuan, he did not have much respect. Even if he was reluctant to kneel down every time, he often held the spirit of Ah Q of "I'm kneeling down on my son".

But this time my heart was touched, but I rarely kneel down and expressed my true feelings.

However, he has never been a loyal, righteous and kind person. When it comes to choosing one of the new policy and his own life, it is hard to say whether he can still remember his vow today.

After making a vow, hesitated and saw no reaction from the emperor. Jiao Shun stood up and looked at the bed, but saw that half of the emperor's face had been wet with tears, while the other half of his face was clean and there was no trace of tears.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly felt the fragrance swelling, but the queen also found that the emperor was crying. She didn't care about avoiding Jiao Shun, so she hurriedly rushed up to wipe him. She advised the emperor to raise him well and not to think about it.

In a panic, the skirt was mixed with a faint fragrance and teased Jiao Shun's face. Jiao was not good for getting up to avoid it, nor was he able to continue to stand in the same place to get in the way. He could only take two steps, and the newly brewed loyalty and righteous heart was instantly discounted.

After a while, the queen was busy and saw that the emperor seemed to be saying something, she hurriedly pressed her ears on her back. After a while, she stood up and looked at Jiao Shun beside her, then turned to Concubine Wu and said, "Sister Lao brings Brother Yao here."

Concubine Wu was obviously a little surprised, but she nodded obediently and went there.

The queen took the opportunity to give in and said, "Mr. Jiao, please be calm first."

After Jiao Shun got up, he lost his words.

It was not until the six-year-old eldest prince Xu Yao was brought over by Concubine Wu that the queen said solemnly: "Your Majesty will add another engineering to the eldest prince's homework from now on, and Lord Jiao will personally enter the palace to teach."

Xu Yao was originally timid, but when he heard that he had added another lesson, his little face suddenly collapsed.

Is this a play of entrusting one's own orphans?

But the problem is that from the current cards, I can’t bear the heavy responsibility of entrusting myself!

Moreover, such a heavy trust would probably make the civil servants more excluded and wary of themselves.

Jiao Shun complained secretly, but pretended to be in fear and fear and bowed: "I will not let down the lord of the emperor!"

When he got up, Concubine Wu signaled the queen again, and asked the eldest prince to bow to Jiao Shun and respect "Master Jiao".

This is a common example. Jiao accepted it calmly and then returned a brief greeting.
