Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 371 Just kill him

Daiyu had seen the emperor with frosty eyebrows and snowy eyes before.

When they were in Jiangnan, she and Tanchun had already been scolded by the retired emperor.

But this time, it's different.

The coldness in Tai Shang's eyes was as real as substance.

There seemed to be a kind of anger of betrayal and a faint murderous intent!

Daiyu shuddered slightly in her heart.

She knelt down gently, crossed her arms and bowed her head: "In reply to the words of the Supreme Emperor, this servant is just an orphan of an external official. It is because of the support of the Empress Dowager that I am allowed to serve in the Yanjia Hall of the Taiji Palace.

"I know nothing about what is going on in Daming Palace, and I wish to have nothing to do with it."

Tai Shang stared coldly at the top of her head.

After a while, she suddenly turned around and looked at Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting at the first place among the four concubines, and said to Daiyu:

"What I just asked you is that your cousin is incompetent and can't take good care of the Seventh Prince.

"So in your opinion, which prince's mother is more suitable to take care of the seventh prince?

"I'll give you one last chance, think it over before you answer!"

Daiyu was startled and slowly raised her head, following the Lord's gaze, only to see Jia Yuanchun lowering her head and gently rubbing her knees.

Therefore, the question that the Lord Taishang asked was not about who would be suitable to adopt the Seventh Prince. He was asking himself about his attitude towards the Jia family.

It seems that what happened last night has come to an end.

Moreover, the Jia family was exposed and implicated in the incident.

This day has finally come...

Daiyu tilted her head back and closed her eyes without any feeling of sadness or joy.

Today is the New Year's Day, the most important day of the year, and all nations come to pay homage to the Daming Palace...

Neither the Supreme Lord nor Emperor Zhaoming would explode the whole thing at this time.

So Emperor Zhaoming went through the various ceremonies with a normal look on his face.

But Taishang has always been a man of strong character and never change his mind. If Cao Yu and others had told Taishang everything last night, he would never have swallowed that breath!

I was the one who saved his life last night, he would not really take this anger out on me.

But Jia Yuanchun is different.

The matter of the seventh prince could have been a reason for the Supreme Lord to punish and humiliate Jia Yuanchun.

But after asking from beginning to end, it turned out that Jia Yuanchun did nothing wrong!

The ones who were wrong were the Seventh Prince and his maternal family, the Wu family, who filed the complaint!

So, this breath was stuck in Tai Shang’s chest, unable to go up or down.

This is why there are inexplicable questions and inexplicable murderous intentions!

"In reply to Your Majesty, the prince lost his mother at a young age, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide how to educate him in the future.

“My cousin was young and had never given birth, so she didn’t learn how to raise a prince. It’s her own fault, and she failed the emperor’s trust.

"As for me, your humble servant... there are court etiquette and royal rules in this matter, so how can I, your humble servant, have a say?

"Even if you ask me a thousand times or ten thousand times, the only answer I can give is 'I don't know'! Please understand!"

Lin Daiyu stiffened her neck, with a hint of stubbornness and confusion between her brows.

Tai Shang looked at her sullenly, gritting his teeth.

After a long time, he snorted and said in a deep voice: "According to the rules of our dynasty, girls in the boudoir must learn to be housekeepers.

"When something important happens in one's parents' home, even if an important aunt is married, she will go back to her parents' home to ask about it.

"You now serve the Queen Mother, receive the salary of a princess from the imperial court, and wear the imperial crown that I bestow upon you as a princess.

"The little prince has lost his mother, so which concubine should he be raised with? It's such a small matter, but you dare not even offer an idea, or even say a word!

"Are you worthy of the friendship that I and the Queen Mother have shown you?

"Are you worthy of the emperor's kindness to you?

"You are a heartless wolf!"

The Supreme cursed fiercely and poked Daiyu's forehead with his finger with such force that he knocked her down!

The Queen Mother and others, who had been holding their breath watching the confrontation between the two, finally relaxed quietly at this moment.

Okay, Taishang’s anger has passed.

Daiyu cried out in pain and covered her forehead with a tearful face: "I like Concubine Dou in my heart. However, the Second Prince is kind and upright, and he is the best to take care of my younger brother.

"This is the first time I've seen them, and I only have this little impression of them. How can I possibly choose between these two?

“Besides, you just said that the Seventh Prince should be raised by a noble concubine.

"Who will be the imperial concubine? Not only should I, a foreign minister, not have any say in this matter, but even you shouldn't say anything, right?!

"It's New Year's Day, I won't make myself uncomfortable by sending you to the Emperor!

“I don’t know, I just don’t know!

"White-eyed wolf doesn't know!"

As she spoke, Daiyu threw back her sleeves and knelt down on her feet, acting like a village woman!

The Supreme One gave her a glare and said: "You are a well-educated and well-mannered lady, but you have failed miserably in imitating the behavior of a scoundrel!

"Hurry up and get up! The ground is so cold!"

Dai Quan, who was standing by, hurried forward and helped Daiyu up with a concerned look on his face.

Tai Shang glared at her again, but put his hands behind his back and walked out slowly: "You are right..."

He actually wanted Daiyu to send him out again!

Daiyu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, forced a smile at Dai Quan, and followed him.

"You said that your cousin has failed to live up to the emperor's grace and has no blessings. You are right. Humph!" Tai Shang snorted heavily.

Daiyu followed with her head down, sighing softly.

How could this be referring to Jia Yuanchun?

It was clearly her words of self-blame on behalf of the Jia family!

Tai Shang picked it out specifically and sighed, which meant that he agreed with the accusation she had given!

The two men strolled out of the hall, slowly walked down the steps, and after a few more steps, Tai Shang stopped.

Dai Quan followed behind the two of them and looked to both sides, and all the palace servants and eunuchs immediately dispersed.

"Zhaoqing, what do you think should be done to maintain the kindness and righteousness in this world?" Tai Shang looked at the pale sky in the distance, his voice revealing deep sorrow.

Daiyu knew that he was not only lamenting about the Jia family, but was also thinking about the four kings and eight dukes and the huge interest groups they represented.

"Thank you, thank you. You have been kind to me, and I am willing to repay you with kindness.

“The most important thing here is willingness.

“Sometimes, the one who is doing the favor is no longer willing to do so, and then the one who continues to show kindness feels that he is losing out, and becomes unwilling to give anymore.

“Sometimes, the one who gives favors gives too much, and the one who repays favors cannot pay it back. He is unwilling to pay it back.

"These two situations are still considered good, they just part ways and live their own lives.

“But there is another situation, that is, everyone feels that they have suffered a loss.

“As soon as this thought comes up, the next step is naturally to reach out and grab it.

"Robbery."

Daiyu spoke softly, then suddenly paused and laughed at herself, "Loyalty is the most difficult to maintain for a long time.

"Because there are so few times when both sides are willing."

Tai Shang stood there, looking towards the east.

Behind the thin clouds, there was suddenly a golden light and a red sun rose up!

The Supreme Lord looked back at Daiyu with disdain and said, "You little girl, why are you pretending to be so jealous?

"Isn't it just that we ran into a few white-eyed wolves?

"Just kill him!"
