"Hehe~ Very simple, kill Master Zhen and Second Master Lian."
Bao Qin said somewhat gleefully.
In fact, when Yang Hong heard Bao Qin's report, he didn't hesitate and directly ordered the two to be killed.
Those who have read "A Dream of Red Mansions" have no good impression of these two pampered scions, so killing them would be killing them.
It was only because he was working in the fields at the time, and there were several girls from the Jia family kneeling and begging for mercy beside him, that he changed his words.
However, Yang Hong initially wanted Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, not You Shi.
But considering that Qin Keqing might be his sister, Yang Hong changed his mind to You Shi.
"I agree! I agree!"
Jia Zhen almost without thinking shouted, agreeing to send You Shi to the palace, not to kill himself.
Everyone understood this.
"I... I also agree."
Just as everyone was about to condemn Jia Zhen, Jia Lian also said softly.
He didn't want to die either.
"You~ You~"
You Shi and Wang Xifeng's faces instantly turned pale, their hearts turned to ash.
"Master Zhen, you're not done yet."
Just as everyone was about to start scolding Jia Zhen and the other, Bao Qin spoke again.
"Still~ Still not done?"
Jia Zhen swallowed and said with difficulty. His complexion, which had just been flushed, instantly turned pale again.
"Master Zhen, that person said he knows Qin Keqing's identity and hopes you don't have any dangerous ideas, otherwise..."
At this point, Bao Qin turned to look at the more than thirty people in Rongxi Hall, particularly lingering on Qin Keqing for a moment before continuing.
"If, Master Zhen, you truly do something, then the entire Jia family will be executed, and not a single chicken or dog will be left alive!"
"Ah!"
"This~ How is this possible?"
"Keqing~ What kind of identity does Keqing have that the Emperor would threaten us like this?"
Everyone was confused and looked at Bao Qin, waiting for her explanation.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the reason either, but that person said that if action is needed, you, Your Majesty, might have to do it personally."
Bao Qin said apologetically to Jia Yuanchun.
"Yes, I understand. If that day comes, I will do it myself."
Jia Yuanchun didn't know why Yang Hong had issued such a stern order, but she would not object. There must be a reason behind Yang Hong's actions. She could ask, but she would not object.
"You've all heard it. The heads of the entire Jia family are merely resting on your necks. I hope you don't court death."
In fact, Jia Yuanchun's hands were already itching to kill Jia Zhen directly. If he died, the Jia family might be a little safer.
Although she knew that Yang Hong was a truly kind person, those who could survive in the cold palace were not soft-hearted.
This January, all seven of them, as imperial consorts, participated in Yang Hong's New Year's greetings.
It was only then that they truly understood the horror and terror of the cold palace.
They also realized how fortunate they were to live in the Pavilion of Unfettered Joy.
At the same time, they secretly warned themselves not to offend Yang Hong, lest they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Since that person has made his decision, I will not interfere further.
However, Jia Zhen, I really want to kill you right now. Give me a reason not to kill you?"
As she spoke, Jia Yuanchun unleashed her Grandmaster aura, and the entire Rongxi Hall fell silent, everyone trembling in fear.
"I~ I~ I will, listen, listen obediently."
Jia Zhen's speech was stuttering, but he gritted his teeth and said brokenly.
He knew that if he didn't make a promise, his sister would definitely kill him on the spot.
The deadly killing intent could not be mistaken.
"I hope you remember what you said."
Jia Yuanchun glanced at Jia Zhen, then looked at Jia Rong and Qin Keqing beside him.
"Rong'er, I don't know Qin Keqing's identity, but it is very rare for that person to feel murderous intent. Qin Keqing's identity must be extraordinary. You must protect her well."
"Nephew understands. From now on, I will protect Keqing well."
Jia Rong looked at Jia Yuanchun with gratitude. After those words, Jia Zhen would definitely not dare to have any designs on his wife. Qin Keqing would truly be his wife.
"If you have any issues, you can have someone inform the yamen, and someone will notify me or that person."
Jia Yuanchun did not ask Qin Keqing any questions, only offered a promise.
"Nephew's wife understands."
Qin Keqing said with a slight choke in her voice. She knew that with Consort Jia Yuanchun, and the Emperor's words, she was safe.
Jia Yuanchun nodded, then looked at Bao Qin and asked.
"Does that person have any other instructions?"
"No more. He said it was beyond his expectation that Your Majesty dared to kill, but that such a Your Majesty is qualified to be by his side. He is very happy."
"Hehe, as long as he likes it. I was worried he would dislike my bloodlust."
Jia Yuanchun giggled, feeling very happy in her heart.
Like everyone else, she couldn't satisfy Yang Hong in bed. Now, hearing Yang Hong's praise, she was naturally very happy.
However, the members of the Jia family shivered.
'Yang Jian is indeed worthy of being a tyrant, actually requiring his noble consort to be daring enough to kill to be qualified to be by his side.'
However, after a moment's thought, they dared not think further.
At least the person by Yang Jian's side was their family member, a noble consort, and would not easily slaughter their own kin.
For the next few days, Jia Yuanchun did not return to the palace. After all, the eight of them had left the palace with Yang Hong's mission.
Firstly, it was naturally the promotion of high-yield crops. Not only were they given seeds of ordinary Grade 7 crops by Yang Hong alone, but they also had to actively promote and cultivate other high-yield crops through their own actions, driving the noble families.
This was a matter of great merit for him.
In addition, Yang Hong also gave each of them seeds of at least three ordinary Grade 7 medicinal herbs. These seeds were his preliminary preparations for cultivating talents in the next step.
He would not naively think that a few consorts and women could collect enough of what he wanted.
Therefore, external forces were indispensable.
For example, Jia Yun, Jia Cong, and Jia Huan of the Jia family were personnel selected for these external forces.
Jia Yuanchun stayed at the Jia family for three days.
During these three days, they and their servants killed a total of 407 people, all of whom were servants who used the Jia family's name to bully others, as well as those with sticky fingers.
It seemed that once she had tasted blood, she became a little excited. Jia Yuanchun personally killed 88 people before stopping.
This not only made all the Jia family members know that their virtuous consort was truly daring to kill, but it also purified the atmosphere of the Jia family.
For centuries to come, the Jia family would remain a well-known benevolent family in the thriving imperial capital.
After cleaning up the Jia family, Jia Yuanchun took some Jia family members she deemed worthy and left the city.
She still had other tasks from Yang Hong.
One was to collect special, spiritually endowed plants and minerals.
Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu's jade had to be mentioned.
That piece of jade was indeed a fake treasure.
It was just a piece of jade with good quality, not a spiritual jade born with a jade in its mouth.
This greatly disappointed Jia Yuanchun, who had been full of expectations.
Therefore, while inspecting the Jia family's farms in various regions, Jia Yuanchun diligently searched for special plants and also killed a few estate managers who oppressed the farmers.
Jia Yuanchun even earned the reputation of a "female devil" for this.
