Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 440 Similarity

Situ Sheng and Feng Tang both left quickly.

The King of the East turned to look at Daiyu and said, "Since His Majesty is willing to give you the gold medal, he must have told you who the most trustworthy people are.

"I have been away from the capital for many years. I don't know which one in the capital is still useful. Girl, tell me another name!"

Daiyu raised her eyebrows: "Then you have to tell me what the errand is first."

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Eastern King. He glanced outside the door, took a big step towards Daiyu, and whispered:

"The most important one among Wang's followers: the guerrilla of the Beijing Camp, Xie Jing!"

Daiyu was stunned: "Isn't it that Dingcheng Marquis Xie's relationship with the Rong and Ning mansions is just a face-saving relationship..."

She had forced Jia Zhen away and even used the Dingcheng Marquis family!

At this time, Tao Han frowned and interrupted, "I heard from Master that when the Queen Mother was assassinated, he checked the people who were planted in the palace in recent years.

“Among them are the works of the Xie family of Dingcheng Marquis and the Qiu family of Jingtian Marquis.

"Because the Supreme was only concerned with getting angry with the old men who guarded the Taiji Palace at the time, he forgot about the other two families.

"Your Majesty ordered a secret investigation afterwards, but only discovered corruption and nothing else. That's why he let it go for now and planned to deal with it later."

The King of the East shook his head and sneered, "Both his families got their real jobs by following Wang Ziteng's path. I don't know how many dirty things they have done over the years.

"Now almost all of the four surnames and eight officials have been confiscated. If we investigate, they will definitely die. We still have to be on guard against them."

Lin Daiyu nodded immediately and gave the most suitable candidate: "Marquis Huaiyuan. The last time you raided the Northern Palace, your majesty used him."

The King of the East looked at Tao Han and said, "Pass the message out immediately!"

Tao Han agreed, but looked at Chu Qian.

Chu Qian pretended not to see anything and stayed firmly behind Daiyu, not moving an inch.

Tao Han had no choice but to pick up his robe and limp out.

Daiyu sighed and ordered him, "You are leaving the palace to pass on the message. I'm afraid you are not informing others of the situation."

He raised his voice and said, "Call my maid to come in."

After a while, Xiaohong walked in quickly and bowed to Daiyu: "What do you want, Princess?"

"Go back to Yanjia Palace immediately, pick up a few things, and send them to Huaiyuan Marquis's Mansion and to Miss Shi's family. Tell her to be patient."

Daiyu's calm voice seemed to be just telling the maid how to chat with the sisters, "By the way, deliver the East King's warrant to Marquis Huaiyuan."

Prince Dongping smiled, stretched out his hand and slowly brushed his silver beard, nodded slightly: "Little girl, not bad! This way, we won't alert the enemy."

Daiyu crossed her arms and bowed, "I am ashamed. When I heard that the King of the East was calling me, I was hesitant.

“Today, I have really learned a lesson.”

The King of the East chuckled.

Then, Daiyu thought about it again, motioned the Prince of Dongping to come closer, and whispered, "Do the concubines of the prince in the palace want to..."

The King of the East opened his old eyes wide, twirled his beard and couldn't help laughing, looking Daiyu up and down with admiration.

After a while, a look of melancholy appeared on his face again, and it was hard to tell whether the sound was a sigh or a lament:

"At such a young age, he is so steady in his actions and words...

"You, little girl, are actually a bit like my poor daughter..."

The daughter of the King of the East, depose the Crown Princess first!

Tao Han and Chu Qian felt their scalps tingling at the same time!

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside!

Several people in the room looked outside at the same time.

A young eunuch, his hat askew, rushed in out of breath, and went straight to Tao Han. When he saw Daiyu, his knees went weak and he knelt down with a thump:

"Your Majesty! The Empress sent the eunuch Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of the six palaces, to Zhaoqing Palace, but he couldn't find Your Majesty. He is now in the main hall of Yanjia Palace, waiting for your reply!"

"Let me give a reply to Eunuch Xia?" Daiyu looked at the young eunuch with amusement, and then her eyes drifted to Tao Han.

Tao Han felt a chill on his back, glared at the young eunuch and scolded him: "Are you crazy? How can you talk like that?"

The young eunuch almost burst into tears: "Uncle, what can I do? Look, my face was slapped by Eunuch Xia's big mouth, and my waist was kicked by his big feet..."

He was whining and moaning, and the fiery-tempered King of the East could not stand it. He frowned and said to Daiyu:

"There is a guard room outside Hanyuan Hall. I am waiting for news there. If Zhaoqing has anything to say, please send someone to find me there."

Tao Han's face suddenly turned bitter: "The King of the East is leaving too? What about the Queen? The Queen..."

"I can't take care of these trivial matters in the inner palace!

"After Feng Tang finishes arranging things outside, I will ask him to return to the Imperial Study and take charge of the inner palace.

"You can ask him for these scary things!"

The King of the East shouted, strode out of the yard with his hands swinging, grabbed a horse, jumped on it, called two guards, and galloped away!

Daiyu looked at his back and smiled, then told the young eunuch to stand up: "Let's go back and take a look."

Tao Han looked nervous, and his steps were inevitably three points slower than the lame man.

Daiyu looked back at him and found him amusing. "Master Tao's chief disciple has probably been fighting openly or covertly with that Xia for five or seven years. Why is he still afraid?"

"That's not the case." Tao Han limped over and hurriedly caught up, and the young eunuch also hurried to help him, wiping his nose and tears.

Tao Hanyin smiled apologetically and said, "Isn't it because I was so stupid that the Queen got angry?

"It's nothing for me. However, the princess and the queen don't interfere with each other.

"If the Empress is angry again because she sees me following the Princess, and the Princess is wronged, I will be damned!"

When they reached the side of the car, Daiyu supported Chu Qian's outstretched arm and sat firmly on it. Then she tilted her head and looked at Tao Han and smiled:

"Since your master is confident in letting you follow me, he is telling me that you are trustworthy.

"Since you are not an outsider, I will speak directly:

"You are so timid.

"You have to learn this from Lu Changqing."

When Chu Qian heard this, he was obviously unhappy: "Lu Changqing loves to cause trouble."

"Lu Changqing is never afraid of anything." Daiyu smiled and pointed at Chu Qian, "You are afraid sometimes, but he has never been afraid.

"He's the only one who causes trouble, and nothing can cause trouble for him!"

Chu Qian and Tao Han both frowned and kept silent.

The first lesson for servants when they enter the palace is that they must abide by the rules and not cause trouble.

But Lu Changqing seemed to have never learned this lesson.

Canal, Linqing.

Cao Yu hid in the cabin and urged the boatman to pull up the sails so that the boat could go faster.

On the deck, Lu Changqing was arguing with people on the next boat.

The cause is also strange:

They were all making breakfast on the deck. The boat next door was moving faster than theirs, so occasionally the smoke from the cooking stove would drift over and choke our little eunuch Lu.

After being ridiculed, Lu Changqing became furious. He jumped up and down and yelled, "Come here! Come here! Come here and challenge your Grandpa Lu to a duel!

"Whoever loses will jump into the water and be a living turtle for three days and three nights!

"Am I afraid of a foreign bastard like you, a merchant?"
