"Fifth brother is a smart man. Although you only stay in your room all day studying classics and history, I don't believe you know anything about the outside world."
Qiao Yuyan paused, then continued: "Now the eldest master's third nephew and even the people with official positions in the side house have been detained, and we are trapped here again. To put it bluntly, our family is also at a critical stage of life and death."
It’s time.”
Wen Qiongyu couldn't help but tighten her hands on the table, but she still didn't let go.
"Since Fifth Brother is in charge of everything in the ancestral hall, do you know exactly what is hidden here? What will happen if these things fall into the hands of others?"
Wen Qiongyu's face began to look a little embarrassed because of her words.
Qiao Yuyan continued her efforts, "Although I have only been here for a short time, I am still the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, and I have also told the fourth sister-in-law about this matter. The third bedroom... that's all. Now there is a gap between the eldest sister-in-law and me.
My wife is in such a situation, if the fifth brother really wants the old lady to be a witness, I will immediately agree."
Hearing what she said, Wen Qiongyu finally nodded, "Actually, if you say it is something really important, it can't be called it. My great-grandfather was once the emperor's master. Although he was not the prince's tutor, he had a very good relationship with the late emperor.
There are many letters and other items exchanged with the late emperor.
In the eyes of great-grandfather, this was a symbol and proof of the relationship between him and the late emperor, so it was preserved. But after all, they were some daily letters. Many of the words in them may... not be very sophisticated. If it is really allowed to be obtained by others,
, I’m afraid it’s really a bit of a hindrance, especially in a season like this.”
Wen Qiongyu said, and then paused for a while before saying: "In that case, I might as well tell you that there is a mechanism under my grandfather's tablet, a small door switch behind the memorial tablet, and the things are placed there.
really!
Qiao Yuyan immediately saluted Wen Qiongyu solemnly, "Thank you, fifth brother, for your trust."
Wen Qiongyu waved her hand, with a bit of confusion on her thin face, "This makes me feel guilty. Logically speaking, such things should be done by our men's family, but now it all falls on the sixth brother and sister, you, a young woman.
I really feel a little sorry."
Mrs. Lin gently pulled her husband's sleeves and said to Qiao Yuyan with a smile: "We, husband and wife, have never been able to help you in this family. Don't worry, brother and sister, although we can't do anything for you, but what you say,
We will definitely listen and we will never cause you any trouble."
This was in response to what Qiao Yuyan said a few days ago, when she took over the rights of all the family affairs from Mrs. Wen in front of the old lady. She said that during the period of being banned, everyone in the family
Everything must be approved by her, and everyone must listen to her arrangements.
Qiao Yuyan bowed to the couple again before retreating.
During the day, everything went as usual, but at night, there was a sudden commotion outside.
When Commander Zhao saw Princess Jiahe at the side door, he was stunned, "How did you escape?!"
Nowadays, conditions are limited, so Jiahe doesn't wear makeup and wears very ordinary clothes, but this kind of dress makes her look more and more smart and unruly.
She was holding a long sword in her hand, and she was still holding the sword flower casually without fear of death. Her eyes were full of disdain for the person opposite, "What? How did I get out? Shouldn't you ask your subordinates?
"
She clicked her tongue twice, "Is this the ability and quality of the people under Brother Seventh Emperor of my palace? They are too incompetent!"
Commander Zhao was so angry when he heard her sarcastic words, his face immediately darkened, "We are all warriors, and I'm afraid we don't know how to act appropriately. Princess, please don't test the accuracy of our group's attacks. Please
Go back by yourself!"
Jiahe rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you still know that I am a princess, I would like to know which law states that a prince can imprison a princess? I am the same as your master.
They are his father's children and they are equals, so why should they be imprisoned by him?"
This question made Commander Zhao speechless. Jiahe sneered again: "Now my father's coffin is still parked in the palace. As a princess, I don't even have the opportunity to mourn and pay homage. I
I would like to ask, who gave him such a right, and can he be justified in terms of etiquette and law?"
Jiahe could only say this without feeling guilty. In fact, in the first few days after the death of the late emperor, the Wen family was not banned, but didn't the princess also stay in her own small courtyard?
That was because the Seventh Prince failed to take care of her, otherwise he would have taken her away directly with a label of unfilial piety.
Commander Zhao obviously didn't know the details here. When being questioned by Jiahe, he couldn't think of any appropriate explanation.
After a while, he said arrogantly: "As long as the late emperor enters the imperial mausoleum, the seventh prince will be the common ruler of the world, and the princess will be His Highness's biological sister and only a minister. Now she is just exercising the rights of the crown prince first."
"Prince?" Jiahe sneered, "I haven't seen my father's decree to confer the crown prince, so I have to take a step back and say, even if the seventh prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, shouldn't he consider his own reputation?
What do you think the scholars in the world will say about imprisoning his own sister and not asking the princess to go and mourn the late emperor? What's more, he also condoned you warriors to bully me, and brother and sister cannibalize each other. Is it justified?
?”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing his furious look, Jiahe laughed loudly and pointed the long sword in his hand forward, "Let me see how you are going to hurt me today!"
He actually started charging forward with his sword in hand!
Commander Zhao's expression changed drastically. Of course he hated Jiahe to his core. The fate of his son had a lot to do with Jiahe.
But now is a critical period for the Seventh Prince. Waiting for a few more days, after His Highness ascends the throne, will be a good time to take revenge. If he makes a mistake at this time and causes trouble to His Highness, he will not be able to suffer the consequences.
But at this time, Jiahe seemed to be crazy, and really went on a rampage with his sword. The people here were unable to do anything to him for a while.
It was already night now. Commander Zhao originally had more important things to do, but now he was blocked here. When the surrounding soldiers heard the noise, they rushed over.
The place was suddenly in chaos, and Commander Zhao was so angry that he didn't expect that such a shrew would appear in the royal family, and he would single-handedly mess up the whole situation.
He had to worry about not really hurting Princess Jiahe, and also wanted to find a way to lock her back. Naturally, he was a little timid, and he couldn't care about the Wen family's ancestral hall. He didn't know that at this moment, two people had slipped in.
