Chapter 41: Secret Letters

After Li Jin returned to daily service, she went to her father's study with Xiangxue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The thick snow in the courtyard has been cleared to the corner of the courtyard at this time, and the land buried under the snow-white beauty has already revealed its original face before the sun shines.

Li Jin strolled through the verandah, his eyes seemed to be looking at the neat courtyard, and it seemed to be looking farther away. The chaotic thoughts in his brain gave Li Jin a little headache, could it be because of the wind and cold? This lingering headache made Li Jin's troubled mood even worse.

When he saw the letter, Li Jin was almost irrationally angry, and now that he thinks about it, it may just be that the scene described on the paper is the deepest worry and fear in Li Jin's heart. Li Jin wanted the King of Huaiyang to appear in front of him immediately, and wanted to ask him why he could conclude that his family would encounter great disasters after leaving the capital, and he wanted to find evidence that everything he did was wrong.

It's just that these are just momentary impulses, even if there is no Xiangxue's obstruction, Li Jin estimates that when he walks to the corner gate, he will regain his composure and then turn back.

Yes, the current Li Mansion is in a delicate situation, and any wrong step will be a catastrophe, and Li Jin can't afford to act as willfully and recklessly as before.

Maybe it was the line in the palace that made Li Jin instantly have that responsibility for his family, or the long conversation between his father and himself last night, Li Jin wasn't sure what the reason was, but the impulse in his brain seemed to have added a switch now, although it was not very strong, but the power to contain himself was getting stronger and stronger.

Li Jin didn't have time to sigh at the change in himself, and the only thought that was now full of his mind was how to get his family out of this life-and-death situation.

Soon the familiar potted plants appeared in front of Li Jin's eyes, and after entering the study, his father sent all the attendants out and asked Li Jin to close the door of the study from the inside.

"Jin'er, this is a secret letter from the emperor brought by the inner servant. As he spoke, Father Li handed a folded, palm-wide, narrow and long envelope to Li Jin.

Holding the sealed letter, Li Jin plucked up the courage for himself in his heart, and opened it neatly.

Fortunately, there was nothing in the letter that made Li Jin more worried, everything was expected, but when Li Jin handed the opened letter to his father, hoping that his father would also know the contents, Li's father shook his head and refused.

"Jin'er, in the future, you have to learn to bury secrets in your heart, for anyone. Saying that, Father Li glanced at Li Jin deeply, and then continued: "If you don't ask for my help, you don't need to tell me what happened." After that, the road will become more and more difficult, and not far ahead, you will be the only one left to walk alone, and everything will have to be decided by yourself. ”

As if to make it easier for Li Jin to accept, Li Shilang spoke very slowly.

"Last night, I taught you all the skills and principles, and then it is up to you to decide how to behave in the future. ”

Father Li spoke earnestly and slowly to Li Jin what he had prepared.

Li Jin was a little confused for a while, thinking that his father would always give advice for himself, but who knew that last night's long conversation was the beginning and the end. Before Li Jin could react, Father Li continued.

"I heard a report from someone who sent you a letter, and that person sent something for Concubine Jing?, you also handled this matter last time?"

Li Jin nodded, slightly nervous in his heart, because he didn't know how to explain the matter of King Huaiyang, but who knew that his father didn't ask too deeply.

"You can come and go as you like at the door of the house. However, if you want to move around the city freely, remember to wear men's clothes, use a pseudonym, and avoid others as much as possible when moving. Now that you're engaged, you're going to be fooled out of the ordinary. After Li's father calmly reminded Li Jin, he said that he still had something to do, and asked Li Jin to do her own thing.

Coming out of the study, Li Jin didn't seem to have eased his spirits, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart for a while, and the almost lost emotion with a little confusion made Li Jin at a loss.

Li Jin laughed at himself in his heart, "Isn't this the freedom I have always wanted, why am I afraid at this time?"

In fact, Li Jin's reason knew very well that the reason why his father arranged this way was to make himself more comfortable with the state of fighting alone without help before leaving the capital.

It's just that she was suddenly placed in such a fog vortex under heavy protection, Li Jin actually had the illusion of being abandoned, of course, she didn't really think so. It's just that I feel that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't even understand my own heart, and I can't grasp it, let alone others?

Folding his spirits, Li Jin put the secret letter on his sleeve and returned to his Jinyue Pavilion, along the way Li Jin was thinking about how he should act, and the 'return gift' that arrived almost at the same time as the holy decree seemed to convey some message to himself. Although the secret letter sent by the emperor was only some specific instructions, there were many unclear places in it, so Li Jin decided to go to Concubine Jing in the palace to meet the emperor for a while in the near future.

After deciding, Li Jin immediately picked up the pen and wrote a letter of worship with rules and regulations, and asked the family to send it to Zongzheng Temple to ask to see Concubine Jing in the near future. And the 'return gift', Li Jin only hesitated a little in his heart, and asked Xiangxue to prepare the scholar's casual clothes for going out.

"Where is Miss going?" asked Xiangxue while preparing the clothes for the two of them.

"Well, go eat something delicious. Li Jin said with a smile, although the mood is not easy, but since the decision is made, Li Jin does not regard it as a burden, and it is not a state of freedom to take a step at a time, Li Jin thought bitterly in his heart.

The two of them left the mansion from the corner gate to avoid people's eyes, but who knew that after turning a corner, one person in front of them blocked Li Jin's way.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be the attendant beside Huaixi.

Li Jin shook his head and smiled: "I thought that your son should be busy, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

The attendant didn't seem to be angry with Li Jin for commenting on his son-in-law, and said: "Son-in-law is naturally busy with affairs and can't be idle, but I'm afraid that the little boy is more anxious to see my son-in-law, otherwise why bother to go out of the house so secretly and choose such a path?"

Li Jin looked at the path he was walking and the man's robe on his body, although he had to do it, the attendant also pointed out his predicament, although he was a little embarrassed, but after a while, he smiled with relief: "This is not bad, I am really anxious to see your son-in-law, and he still owes me an explanation." What, you're going to lead the way?"

The attendant was indeed sent by the King of Huaiyang to wait for Li Jin, but at this time, he responded directly and said yes, which made him feel that he seemed to lose Li Jin, but time did not wait for anyone, and only entangled for a moment, the attendant chose to take his son's orders as the first, bowed down to Li Jin and said, "Son, please." ”

Li Jin didn't joke anymore, and said seriously: "There is labor." Then he followed the attendant and walked to the carriage in the distance.

In fact, Li Jin went out of the house to find the king of Huaiyang, and planned to go to Yujingzhai to try his luck, but he didn't expect that this prince would send someone to wait at the door of his house, it seems that the other party should have something more urgent than himself, so what could it be?

Li Jin looked at the familiar road outside the car window, and as expected, the direction of the carriage was the west of the city.
