Chapter 437 Two Women Enter the Palace
In addition, Baochai, Daiyu and Xing Xiuyun, who were originally studying etiquette in the West Palace and had not yet had time to return home, were all picked up by Yuanyang.
Since it involves Jia Cong, it is a big deal for all the girls, and it is not in accordance with the rules not to let Baochai and others know.
In Ningzheng Hall, Baochai and Daiyu sat in the first seats on the left and right respectively, Youshi, Keqing and the You sisters sat on the right, Yuanyang, Zhen Muring, Xing Xiuyan and Qingwen, three maids, sat on the left, and Jia Zhong was asked to guard the door. No one else, not even the head maids, came in.
"Let's talk about what happened first!" Baochai asked You Erjie and You Sanjie.
Yu Sanjie did not hesitate and directly told all the experiences of herself and others.
"Hmph!" Qingwen snorted coldly, "It's you, a vixen, who's harmed the master. If it weren't for you, how could the master have been in such trouble?"
She had a bad relationship with Third Sister You to begin with. This time, because of the matter of the You sisters, the master's situation was unclear. How could she not feel resentful? Now she did not go up and fight with Third Sister You directly. It was already because of the face of Baochai and Daiyu that she did it.
"You don't need to say more!" Sister You said coldly, "If the master is punished for this, I will repay the master's kindness with my life!"
Baochai waved her hand, stopping Qingwen from speaking, and then she turned to Daiyu and asked, "Sister Lin, what do you think we should do now?"
Although Daiyu doesn't like such vulgar things, she will still think carefully about it when it comes to Jia Cong.
After thinking for a moment, Daiyu said, "It's not right for us to be anxious here now. The most important thing is to first understand Third Brother's current situation, and then think of a solution."
"We don't need to cause any more trouble now!" Daiyu looked at everyone and continued, "Sister Bao, although it's against the rules for you and me to enter the palace with the golden book, we can't care less about that now."
"Sister Yuanyang, Sister Zhen, you stay in the mansion. If you get any news from us tomorrow morning, we'll make plans. If there's still no news, Sister Yuanyang will go find Grandmother, and Qingwen and Zijuan will go find Dad to find a solution."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter, and we don't have to blame each other. I think if other people encountered this kind of thing, Third Brother would not stand idly by."
Baochai nodded slightly. "Also, we must take this incident as a warning. Most of the sisters now have female guards around them, so they have people to help them when they need help. However, the number of female guards is not enough for now. We will first select some people from Brother Cong's personal soldiers and families to follow them. The matter of female guards will be discussed with Brother Cong later."
"Sister Zhen, if there is no news tomorrow, you should go back and ask your Zhen family's old lady for help."
"However, although Third Brother offended the Third Prince this time, we don't need to worry too much."
"Third brother's status is also not low, and His Majesty also values him very much. At least the situation will not reach the worst. Sister Xing, you and Ying'er will go directly to find the second sister-in-law in the Shangxi Mansion later. Have the second sister-in-law accompany you to find my aunt and ask my aunt to prepare the money."
"If things are difficult to handle, then you naturally need to ask someone for help. At most, you can spend a huge amount of money. You don't have to worry about no one speaking for Brother Cong."
After everyone agreed, Baochai told Jia Zhong to harness the carriage. Then Baochai and Daiyu held the golden book and went straight to the palace.
In Fengzao Palace, after the Queen had dinner, she began to plan her son's future wedding.
Yes, although the wedding is still a year or two away, the queen can no longer hold back.
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Gui hurried over. "Lin Daiyu, the daughter of the Lin family, and Xue Baochai, the daughter of the Xue family, have entered the palace with the golden book to ask to see Your Majesty. They are waiting outside the palace now."
"Oh? Why are they here?"
In reality, the palace gates were already locked, so if anyone else came, they wouldn't be able to help report the situation. However, Shang Yan was now in control of the Dragon Guards, and the Queen had already instructed that if anyone related to Jia Cong came, someone should be sent to report.
So, as soon as Baochai and her friend arrived at the palace gate and knocked on the door, Officer Long Jin sent someone to deliver a message to Zhou Gui.
"Hurry up and take my seal and bring them in. These two girls came here in the dark of night, they must have something urgent to do." said the queen.
Zhou Gui nodded, then went to greet him with the seal.
Not long after, Baochai and Daiyu followed Zhou Gui to Fengzao Palace.
"Why are you two girls here so late at night? You don't even let anyone follow you. Sit down quickly!" After the two girls paid their respects, the queen hurriedly had someone help them up.
Baochai stepped forward and bowed, "We shouldn't have come to bother Your Majesty at night, but we have no other options, so we have come to the palace to meet you in the dark of night."
Daiyu, who was standing by, also shed tears and cried, "My Lady, please save my Third Brother."
Hearing Daiyu's words, the Queen suddenly stood up, "Jia Cong? What happened to him?"
After saying that, she turned around and glared at Zhou Gui, "Something happened to Jia Cong? Why didn't anyone come to report it to me?"
The Queen's reaction made Baochai feel relieved, and she hurriedly and respectfully told the Queen the whole story.
Upon hearing this, the Queen felt relieved. It was obvious that the reason why she didn't get the news was because the Emperor was angry, so he kept it secret for fear that she would go and plead for mercy.
However, since Jia Cong was in the palace, nothing would happen. It was normal for the emperor to be angry, as this kid was too rash in his actions.
"This child is really reckless, and the Third Prince is no good either." The Queen pulled Baochai and the other two to sit down. "Since the child is in the palace , you can rest assured. The Emperor must be very angry right now. I will ask someone to inquire about his situation. If he is fine, we will go to the Emperor tomorrow to plead for him, and then everything will be fine."
"You two are so impetuous that you won't be able to rest at ease when you go back. Stay with me for one night and we can talk."
"Mr. Zhou, have someone go to the Dragon Head Palace to inquire about the situation. There is no need to alert His Majesty for the time being. Come back and let me know first."
Zhou Gui left as soon as he was told. The Queen then asked the female official to bring some tea and snacks to Baochai and Daiyu for them to enjoy.
About half an hour later, Zhou Gui returned. Under the gaze of the three, he said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis is indeed in the Dragon Head Palace. It is said that His Majesty was extremely angry and directly made the Marquis kneel outside the palace. In addition, the Third Prince has also arrived and was also punished by His Majesty and is kneeling outside the Dragon Head Palace with the Marquis."
"It was His Majesty who issued the order not to inform the Empress."
