Chapter 453 Kneeling at the Door
An'er and Jingquan sent Lady Jia back together.
The first to come out were Jia She and Jia Zhen.
Although the two people did not recognize An'er and Jing Quan, they could tell Jing Quan's identity at a glance.
Two pairs of eyes lit up instantly, and Jia She immediately stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Is this the brother who serves the Imperial Concubine?"
Grandmother Jia glared at him coldly but said nothing.
After all, in front of outsiders and younger generations, she couldn't be too disrespectful to her eldest son.
Jing Quan smiled and clasped his fists towards him: "General Jia, please. My position is temporarily in the Purple Palace, serving Your Majesty."
Jia She's face turned pale with fear, and he bowed repeatedly: "It is my humble official who has no eyes to recognize the great man."
How can a eunuch, a hereditary first-class general, call himself a subordinate, how can he be so servile! ?
Grandmother Jia was so angry that her face turned blue.
An'er was standing by, smiling slightly, and extended Jia's arm to her: "General Jia, your wife is very tired, please take good care of her."
Jia Zhen was much more perceptive than Jia She, and he quickly reached out to help Jia's mother over, and smiled apologetically: "Thank you, lady official."
An'er nodded and said nothing more: "Goodbye." He turned around and left with Jingquan.
Jia Zhen felt that the palace maid in front of him looked very familiar, and could not help but ask, "Excuse me, is this lady from the Wang family Miss An'er?"
An'er raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Jia Zhen: "Master Zhen actually recognized me?"
"When the girl was little, she came to our house with the imperial concubine to play several times. She was smart, careful and thoughtful, so I remember it."
Jia Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly took another half step forward, "We have always wanted to pay our respects to the Imperial Concubine, but we never had the chance.
"now……"
"Now that there is a distinction between inside and outside, we can't meet in person. But considering that General Jia really wants to show his respect to the imperial concubine, I can take you there and kowtow at the gate of the palace."
Jing Quan smiled.
Jia Zhen's face changed.
At this time, Grandmother Jia smiled coldly and shook off his hand.
Since these two bastards have already embarrassed themselves to such an extent, there is no need for her to sugarcoat the situation!
"Boss, come here!" He pointed directly at Jia She's nose without any courtesy.
In front of the eunuchs from the Purple Palace and the Yinyu Palace, Jia She did not dare to lose his temper at all. He walked over quickly and supported his mother personally: "My mother ordered."
Grandmother Jia ignored him and looked at Jia Zhen with a sneer: "Since Brother Zhen has said it, it's just right!
"Hasn't everyone in the family been clamoring to go and pay respects to the imperial concubine recently? Then you should do it for them all!
"Knock down the first master, first mistress, second master, second mistress, yourself, and Lian'er's share!"
He even bowed to Jing Quan and said, "Thank you for leading the way, eunuch!"
Jia Zhen was dumbfounded!
What's going on? !
He smiled and nodded to Jing Quan first: "Wait a moment, eunuch!"
He turned around and leaned close to Lady Jia and pleaded in a low voice: "Old lady, please love your grandson! Have you seen the imperial concubine? What did she say?!"
Grandmother Jia looked at him coldly: "How dare you question me? As a son, I'm sure you know what your good father did.
"You Ning Mansion are really capable of doing such a bastard thing of confiscating property and exterminating the clan!"
Jia Zhen trembled all over when he heard this!
What happened? Why did the old lady say it in front of these two people?
Doesn't she know?!
Aren’t I and the eldest master the only ones who knew about my father being captured and then released back to the Taoist temple?!
Where did she hear that from?! Imperial Concubine? Or... this eunuch in the Purple Palace?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty already knows everything!!!
Jia Zhen didn't have time to think about it, and his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground!
Grandmother Jia took a step back in disgust and snorted, "If you want to kneel, kneel where you should kneel!
"I can't bear it!"
After saying this, he took Jia She and entered the East Courtyard.
Jing Quan and An'er did not urge them either. They just stood there quietly, looking down at Jia Zhen who was lying on the ground.
Having said this, Jia Zhen knew that he could not escape today, so he got up with shaking legs and gritting his teeth, and really followed Jing Quan to the gate of the palace.
On the way, he really wanted to find out some more information.
But when Jing Quan saw him open his mouth, he smiled and blocked his words: "General Jia, why don't you think carefully about what your lady just said."
After being reminded by him, Jia Zhen finally calmed down and lowered his head to think.
Your good father, confiscated the family property and exterminated the clan, what a bastard, your Ning Mansion...
Ok? !
You, Ning Mansion!
Is the old lady trying to draw a line between herself and her family?! What do you mean by your Ning Mansion? You can't write two Jia characters with one stroke. Is she thinking of each family or each household at this time? Why didn't you say it earlier!?
The governor of the Beijing camp who was replaced by her daughter-in-law's family was from her own Ningguo Mansion!
What does she have in Rongguo Mansion? !
Aside from this old Duke's wife, aren't they all losers?!
He relied entirely on the Wang family as his in-laws, but what he ended up exchanging for benefits was the military power of his eldest uncle's family!
what!
Jia Zhen clenched his back teeth secretly.
Jing Quan took a glance and saw his expression clearly, with a look of sarcasm on his face.
Jia Zhen took a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself down.
The old lady's words just now actually made it very clear that the emperor already knew what my father had done.
Whether it was forming a clique to disrupt the government or having a secret meeting with a concubine, they would all be charged with the crime of conspiracy to rebel!
Therefore, the extent of confiscating property and exterminating the clan is only fifty hundred steps!
Although the old lady's words just now hinted at separating the two houses, in fact, she was also reminding herself:
The royal family has no evidence of whether other people are involved in this matter, so they can try to tear it apart...
It would be best if I could really put all the blame on my father.
But if that is not possible, it would be best to sacrifice only his own son. This way there is still a small possibility - to save Rong Ge'er!
As for the separation of the Rong and Ning mansions, that was just the old lady's wishful thinking!
After all, the imperial court finally had an excuse to overthrow both Duke's Mansions, and they would definitely not miss it!
But if this is the case, then the eldest master’s stupid statement that “the Northern King has contacted a number of nobles and will surely be able to push that prince to the throne” will never come true!
Fortunately, no evidence was left.
Jia Zhen calculated everything bit by bit, and in a daze, he walked to the gate of the palace.
Jing Quan stopped and looked up to signal An'er: "You go in and report to the Imperial Concubine first. I'll come here."
An'er understood, nodded and smiled, then walked in leisurely.
Jing Quan then turned around and saw Jia Zhen kneeling down with weak legs, and he also squatted down with a smile.
He whispered, "General Jia, the Imperial Concubine asked me to bring you a message."
Jia Zhen looked at him blankly.
"In Zhongnan Palace, Prince Su was plotting rebellion; the third son of the Qi family turned against their side in battle. In the future, the title of marquis of their family will inevitably belong to the third branch."
Jing Quan smiled.
