Jia Yuanchun, who is now in the palace, is naturally the saddest, but she understands that this is the fate of their Jia family, and the glory and wealth that belong to their Jia family has ended.

Now all the direct descendants of the Jia family are imprisoned in prison, so she really hopes that the emperor can pardon them, but unfortunately the emperor does not give her a chance to beg for mercy.

At this moment, Jia Yuanchun's eyes were red as she looked at her personal maid and asked, "Furong, is there any news about the Jia family outside?"

"No! Now our Fengzao Palace is equivalent to the cold palace." However, the personal maid named Furong had a look of disapproval on her face.

"Is it impossible to find out some information even if you spend money?" Jia Yuanchun didn't pay much attention to the disapproval on Furong's face, but asked again in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the palace is avoiding us like the plague. It is extremely difficult to get any information."

"..."

The virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun understood this truth very well, but the women in the harem were all dependent on the emperor's favor, and everyone in the harem had to act according to the emperor's mood.

Of course, Jia Yuanchun also wanted to find that "mysterious man". Regardless of whether the "mysterious man" would admit those things, the affairs of the Jia family would definitely cause him a lot of trouble.

So after much deliberation, Jia Yuanchun decided to try her best to find out the news. Fortunately, there were still some people in the harem who were greedy for money, and she finally got to know some fragmentary information from the outside world.

When she learned that the "mysterious man" had taken action from the very beginning, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but cry with relief and emotion. The reason why she could still stay in Fengzao Palace was, after all, for the child in her belly and that "mysterious man". Now she felt that it was worth it.

At this moment, the personal maid Furong also looked at Jia Yuanchun in front of her with a face full of surprise, "Your Highness, God have mercy on you! I didn't expect Young Master Su to be so righteous and to have been trying to find a way to rescue Second Master Bao."

"Well, Baoyu and the young master still have a very good relationship." Jia Yuanchun wiped her tears and hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"Do you think the young master can really rescue Master Bao?" However, Furong did not think about the relationship between Su Ning and Jia Yuanchun, so she did not notice that Jia Yuanchun's expression was unnatural at this time.

"I don't know! The Jia family's honor and disgrace all depend on the emperor's will. Now no one can tell what the emperor will do."

"It would be great if the young master could rescue all the Jia family members from prison."

"Ah! How is this possible? The Emperor has already given the Jia family too many opportunities, but unfortunately..."

"..."

……

At this time, Suning had already arrived at the Dali Temple prison. Jia Baoyu, who had experienced a great change, had a great change in mentality, but he was still thinking about his sister Lin in his heart.

Seeing Su Ning reappear seemed to have hope of survival, "Young Master, you are here? Is Sister Lin okay?"

At this time, Su Peisheng, who appeared with Su Ning, said in a loud voice, "Jia Baoyu, receive the order."

"Ah?" Jia Baoyu, who thought he was about to be beheaded, was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Su Ning on the side hurriedly reminded and urged Jia Baoyu to kneel down to receive the order, "Hey! Brother Bao, kneel down quickly to receive the order."

Only then did Jia Baoyu, seeing Su Ning, kneel down nervously, "Oh? The sinner Jia Baoyu listens to the holy teachings."

Then Su Peisheng opened the imperial edict with an expressionless face and read aloud, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees..."

"..."

Seeing Jia Baoyu already stunned by his surprise, Su Ning angrily reminded him again, "Brother Bao, why don't you quickly kowtow to thank the emperor for his grace?"

Overjoyed, Jia Baoyu quickly knelt to thank the emperor for his grace. "The guilty Jia Baoyu knelt to thank the emperor for his grace."

At this time, Su Peisheng beside him reminded Jia Baoyu meaningfully, "Second Master Bao, I hope you won't talk nonsense when you go out. It's a rare opportunity for the emperor to pardon you this time."

"Yes! Thank you for waking up, sir."

However, Su Ning secretly stuffed a handful of gold ingots into Su Peisheng's pocket and said, "Eunuch Su, I'm sorry to bother you with today's matter. This small token of my gratitude is my respect."

Su Peisheng, who accepted the gold ingots, looked at Su Ning in front of him with admiration, "It's not easy to meet a true friend in life! Master Bao is very lucky to have a close friend like you, young master."

"Eunuch Su, you are too polite! If you have anything to say in the future, just let me know." Su Ning bowed to Su Peisheng with some embarrassment.

"Haha, good! Then I'll have to bother the young master often from now on."

"It's my pleasure."

After the shrewd eunuch Su Peisheng left the prison, Suning took Jia Baoyu away, whose face was full of vicissitudes and surprise. The current situation was actually the best outcome.

In the original novel, Jia Baoyu was heartbroken because of Lin Daiyu's death. Later, Jia Baoyu spent three years in prison. During these three years, he experienced suffering that he had never imagined.

The former nobleman is now a prisoner.

Not only did he have to endure physical torture, but he also had to face mental torment: news of his family's ruin came one after another, and his beloved Lin Daiyu died with hatred.

These three years not only wiped out Jia Baoyu's pride, but also completely destroyed his hopes.

When he was released from prison, he was no longer the high-spirited young man, but a man who had lost his soul.

He was not even interested in the imperial examination. He turned around and disappeared in the crowd, starting to wander aimlessly.

The fall of the Jia family implicated too many innocent people, but he was powerless to change it.

Some people say that the fall of the Jia family was an inevitable result of the times.

The large families in feudal society were destined to disappear with the changes of the times.

Some people also say that Jia Baoyu's tragedy was caused by his personal choices.

He was obsessed with love and gave up his family responsibilities, and ended up wearing monk's robes.

In a sense, his retreat was a relief, but also an escape.

History is often like this. The fate of an individual is intertwined with the rise and fall of a family. It seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

Jia Baoyu's life is a microcosm of the last glimmer of feudal society, and the story of the Jia family is a true portrayal of the fate of countless families of that era.

……

However, Jia Baoyu was undoubtedly lucky in this life because he met Su Ning. Not only did he only spend less than a year in jail, but his beloved Lin Daiyu also did not die of illness.

When Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu again, he was so ecstatic that he could no longer hold back and immediately stepped forward and hugged Lin Daiyu tightly.

Lin Daiyu burst into tears when she saw Jia Baoyu, who was in such a miserable state, "Wow, brother Bao, you have suffered so much."

"Wow, Sister Lin, I didn't expect to see you again in this life." At this time, Jia Baoyu was not much better than Lin Daiyu.

"I'm glad you're okay! Brother Bao, I'm glad you're okay." Lin Daiyu, who had been crying for a long time, looked at Jia Baoyu and said with sobs.

"Well, Sister Lin, you and I will never be separated again."

"Okay! Let's go! Let's go home! The young master gave us a house with two entrances."

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu naturally looked at Su Ning with gratitude. The house that Su Ning gave him was an outer house of the Su Mansion. Although it could not be compared with the grandeur of the Ning and Rong mansions, it also provided Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu with a place to live.

That night, Suning specially prepared a welcoming banquet for Jia Baoyu. The moment he stepped over the fire basin meant that he would no longer have to worry about being imprisoned.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lin Daiyu and the others had gone down to rest. Jia Baoyu looked at Su Ning in front of him with drunken eyes and said, "Young Master, thank you! Baoyu will never forget your great kindness." "Brother Bao, why have you suddenly become estranged from me since your Jia family met with disaster? You don't call me Brother Ning anymore?" However, Su Ning rubbed Master Bao's jade hand and asked in return.

"I... I'm not worthy." Jia Baoyu said with his head lowered in frustration.

Su Ning, however, knelt down to thank Master Bao, shook his head, and said, "Hey! Brother Bao, we are close friends, why do you have to think so much?"

"This……"

"Brother Bao, isn't it uncomfortable for me to be so distant?"

"Brother Ning, I know you have feelings for Xiren, but she has left the Jia family now, and I can't give her to you anymore."

Then Su Ning approached Master Bao and whispered in his ear, "Brother Bao, do you know why I like Xiren?"

"Why?" As expected, Jia Baoyu was also full of doubts.

"Because of you." Su Ning said to Jia Baoyu with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"what?"

"Brother Bao, I told you that it would be great if you were a woman. Then I would definitely give everything I have to get you."

"Brother Ning, thank you so much for your kindness! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely work like a slave to repay you."

"Who can say for sure what happens in the afterlife? You don't need to think too much about it."

"Too."

"Brother Bao, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Oh! I don't know either! It seems the only option left is the imperial examination."

"Alright! I can sponsor your upcoming imperial examinations. If that doesn't work out, being a private school teacher wouldn't be bad either."

"Brother Ning, thank you very much."

"..."

In fact, Suning's self-control ability is still very strong, otherwise he would have pushed Bao Erye down long ago.

The fate of the leaders of the Jia family was still very tragic. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Rong and Jia Lian were all beheaded, and Wang Xifeng also died of illness in prison.

Only Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were lucky enough to escape the disaster, and Lin Daiyu's health also improved a lot. She could live for at least another 20 or 30 years.

You have to know that life expectancy in feudal society was not long, and living to the age of 40 or 50 was considered a long life, so Suning was really their benefactor to some extent.

……

At this time, Jia Yuanchun in Fengzao Palace also heard the news that Jia Baoyu and others had been released, and also knew that Su Ning had given a house to Jia Baoyu. All the worries in her heart completely disappeared.

Although Jia Zheng, Jia She and others were beheaded by the emperor, at least there was hope left for the Jia family. Those who were deposed as commoners like Jia Baoyu still had a chance in the future.

Then, without any worries, Jia Yuanchun prepared to give birth with peace of mind. Now all her hopes were on the child in her arms. As for the schemes and jealousies in the harem, they had nothing to do with her.

After all, Jia Yuanchun was not favored by the emperor. The reason why he remembered her, an invisible person, was simply to warn the insidious queen and the domineering Concubine Nian.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened in the harem again. Concubine Nian has passed away."

"What? How could this happen?"

"Nian Concubine Nian's brother, Nian Gengyao, was confiscated and his family was exterminated by the Emperor. Concubine Nian was unable to accept the situation and eventually committed suicide."

"Alas! Empress Nian appears to be arrogant and domineering, but in fact, she is also a pitiful woman."

"Your Majesty, you are the only one who thinks so now. I heard that Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan is about to celebrate."

"Alright! Furong, don't bother yourself with the turmoil in the harem anymore. I told Fengzao Palace to just close the door and live your own life."

"Yes! Concubine."

"From now on, we must all fire our own weapons in Fengzao Palace and not use anything outside of Fengzao Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but Concubine An from the Yanxi Palace sent me some homemade calming incense. I smelled it and it's very good! How about using it next to Your Majesty?"

"Hmph! My Fengzao Palace has never had any dealings with the Yanxi Palace. As for this Concubine An, she's not even an acquaintance. Things like this with unknown origins should be thrown away directly."

"Eh? Your Majesty, Concubine An has been very favored by the Emperor recently. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to do this?"

"..." At this moment, Jia Yuanchun suddenly looked at the maid in front of her meaningfully, until she was so uncomfortable that she said to this self-respecting and intelligent maid with a sneer on her face, "Furong, you have a point! Fengzao Palace will only be a cold palace in the future. In order not to hinder your future, why don't you follow An Lingrong?"

"Ah? Madam, you have misunderstood me. I have always been loyal to you, Madam!"

"Alright! Furong, you don't have much time left to follow me. Fengzao Palace really doesn't need so many people now. You and the others should go find yourselves a way out."

"My lady..."

"That's enough! I'm tired, you can all go down on your own."

"..."

In fact, after the Jia family was confiscated and exterminated by the emperor, the eunuchs and palace maids in Fengzao Palace had long been unable to stay there. Those eunuchs and palace maids who had connections and were willing to spend money had already found ways to transfer away.

Now Furong's cleverness has made Jia Yuanchun wake up. She simply drives away these servants whose hearts are no longer with Fengzao Palace, so that she can get rid of them and pretend that they don't see anything.

As for whether there would be no servants to serve her as the imperial concubine in the future, Jia Yuanchun was not worried at all. She believed that the "mysterious man" would definitely find a way.

As expected, after Su Peisheng heard about the incident, he immediately found Su Ning and said, "Young Master, the virtuous concubine of Fengzao Palace recently dismissed all the palace servants. We don't know how to deal with it."

"What does the Emperor think?"

"Alas! The Emperor is so busy with all sorts of affairs these days, how can he have the time to care about this matter?"

"After Mrs. Jia passed away from illness in Rongguo Mansion, there was a maid named Yuanyang by her side who was quite good. Would you mind sending her to Fengzao Palace, Eunuch Su?"

"This……"

"Eunuch Su, this is just my personal advice. After all, the most important thing for Concubine Xian right now is the heir in her womb."

"That's right, young master! I'll have to trouble you then."

"Hey! Eunuch Su, please be careful with your words! I, a deputy commander of the Sticking Rod Department, am not suitable. You should go find that Second Master Bao. I will tell you his current address."

"Young Master is very considerate! We will leave the palace right now to look for Master Bao."

"it is good."
