Chapter 282: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Lin Qitan looked at the silent Lin Yiren, "What about the Yiren, what do you think about the assassination of the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom?"
Lin Yiren stood up respectfully, "Weichen was upset because of Qin Guifei's repeated injuries, and he didn't think about this matter carefully, since the prince and Lord Gui have already made a judgment, Weichen has no objection." ”
When Gui Shinan heard this, he secretly glanced at Lin Jianzhi. Lin Yiren obviously seconded the statement of the prince and Gui Shinan, but in fact, he not only deliberately mentioned the fact that Gu Liuying was poisoned by arrows and was seriously injured on the couch so far, but also hinted that the prince and Gui Shinan ganged up and spoke in unison.
Lin Qitan has always been taboo about the important ministers of the court and the prince forming a party for personal gain, not that he does not know that Gui Shinan and Yuan Muhuai have a deep friendship, but now after listening to Lin Yiren's vague and subtle words, there is immediately some deep meaning in his eyes.
The crossbow arrow that hit Gu Liuying was the only poisoned arrow used by the Assassin during his assassination...... If everything was really as Gu Liuying guessed, those assassins were originally coming at her, then at this moment, Lin Jianzhi and Gui Shinan led the suspicion of assassins to the remnants of Xuan Kingdom, which was an extremely ingenious plan for the golden cicada to get out of her shell.
For more than 300 years, the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom have been dormant in various parts of the Xuan Kingdom, and there will be some rebellion from time to time, but because of their mysterious whereabouts and rapid exchanges, they often disappear when the soldiers and horses of the court debut, so whether it is Lin Chengxian, Lin Qitan or the emperors before the Zhen Kingdom, they are all a little helpless.
Fortunately, the chaos caused by the remnants of Xuan Guo is not big every time, and some old ministers have analyzed that the reason for its sporadic incidents is mostly to signal to the remnants of Xuan Guo that the royal descendants of Xuan Guo are still lying on their backs and preparing to go, so that the remnants of Xuan Guo can see a glimmer of hope for the restoration of the country.
It has always been Lin Qitan's wish to wipe out the remnants of Xuan Kingdom, but the charred cloth in Gui Shinan's hand made Lin Qitan's heart suddenly vigilant...... What the remnants of Xuan Guo want is the Jiangshan Sheji of the Xuan Kingdom, and it is naturally reasonable to assassinate the emperor, but if this matter is not done by the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom, then the so-called totem of the Xuan Kingdom is just a retreat that the prince and Gui Shinan have already deployed.
The remnants of Xuan Guo cannot be tolerated, and friends should not be despised by Zhou, and Lin Jianzhi cannot afford the crime of assassinating the emperor and the concubine. Yuan Tingyi and Yuan Muhuai are not people who sit idly by, Lin Qitan is not going to dig into the truth and turn the harem upside down, it is better to take advantage of the situation and lead this contradiction to the head of the remnants of Xuan Guo first. As for whether the prince assassinated Gu Liuying in order to bring down Lin Ziyan, Lin Qitan decided to return to Xiao'an and secretly send someone to investigate in detail.
"In this case, according to what the prince said, you two must do your best to arrest the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom, and eliminate the chaos for my country. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Gui Shinan was grateful, and bowed to the ground.
Lin Yitan's choice was expected by Lin Yiren...... Although Gu Liuying is a favorite concubine, she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter to Lin Qitan, as an emperor, Lin Qitan will never turn against his own son for a concubine, which makes the people in the court panic, and there is chaos in the harem.
Seeing that Lin Yitan was chatting with Lin Jianzhi, Gui Shinan, and Feng Jintai about the extermination of the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom, Lin Yiren excused himself to visit Gu Liuying, and withdrew from the main hall alone.
The northern geese flew south, the autumn breeze rose, and the Lin Yiren stood under the corridor, overlooking the floating clouds in the distance, and there was some faint bitterness in their hearts.
Once upon a time, the light clouds covered the moon and the face of the wind and snow was the object of worship and admiration of everyone, but now for him, she did not hesitate to damage her perfection. The mother's nine deaths and life in exchange for the hearts of Concubine Li, the fourth prince and Qiao Xinning also caused Lin Qitan to be more suspicious of the forces behind the prince. But all this, if it weren't for his intention to seize the imperial power, would never have happened.
All along, the Linyi people could not forgive their mother's coldness and coldness towards their father, and the Linyi people avoided the obvious fact...... As the son of the prince during the Jin and Jin periods, he was the logical prince of the country, and over the years, without his mother entering the palace as a concubine, Lin Qitan would not have allowed him to live to this day.
"Lord Wang," Xiang'er's soft voice pulled back Lin Yiren's wandering thoughts, "Concubine Qin Guifei was worried that the prince would hurt himself by standing at this outlet, so she asked the slave maid to invite the prince back to the palace to rest." ”
Lin Yiren looked at Gu Liuying's palace...... Behind the half-closed window lattice, there stood a woman of peerless elegance and unparalleled in the world. The woman, first for the sake of wealth and glory, abandoned her lover Ye Fusheng, and then because of her jealousy of Ye Fusheng for a few years, she empathized and fell in love with him, and cast a strange poison Ze Qisang on his wife An Caiyi. After marrying into the prince's mansion, she treated her father mean and cold, and after becoming Qin Guifei, she treated Yan Xinmei ruthlessly, he and her were never as intimate as ordinary mothers and children, but she finally chose a path of no return for him.
If she succeeds, she will naturally have supreme glory, and if she fails, she will accompany him to his death. This is his mother, selfish, vicious, and unscrupulous to achieve her ends, but even if she is not, she is still the mother who will silently watch him from behind the window lattice, worried that he will catch a cold.
"Go back and tell Qin Guifei," Lin Yiren slowly retracted his gaze, "Half a month later, Xiao'an's red leaves are in full bloom, if Qin Guifei is free, you might as well go out of the palace and go to the mountain with me to enjoy it." ”
"Yes. Xiang'er did as she was told.
Lin Yiren was about to return to the hall, and Xinzhou suddenly came in a hurry, "Lord Wang, Jiang Nuo is ready to leave, he asked me to ask you if you have anything to bring to Qi Jing." ”
"Tell Qi Jing to recuperate with peace of mind, his kung fu will come back sooner or later. Lin Yiren walked forward slowly, "You asked Jiang Nuo to bring a few guards and maidservants over together, these days are busy, and it is really difficult for him." ”
"Yes," Xin Zhou said with a smile, "That kid just said that he likes the new girl in the Lanxi Courtyard, and begged me to mention it to you when I have the opportunity." ”
Lin Yiren sighed, "Jiang Nuo and Qi Jing are both outcasts, and no one has anything to do about marriage, so they can only point to me." ”
"I have carefully checked the girl's family, relatives and neighbors, except for the poor conditions, they are all honest farmers, and they are willing to marry their daughters to Jiang Nuo. "Xinzhou Road.
"That's good. "The Lyim man bowed his head.
"If the prince is fine, then his subordinates will give Jiang Nuo a ride first, and then go to the drunken gate to watch the fight. ”
"I'm going to get drunk, but I'm not going to see the fight, but I'm going to ask the Owls about something. "Lin Yi is humane.
"What is the prince asking about?"
"Didn't the Owl Team say that after the Night Valley Little Fan lifted the Gu poison and left Fengqing Mountain, Shen Youtong suddenly became angry for some reason? ”
"Yes. Xin Zhou bowed and retreated.
For today's competition, the Lin people are not worried. There will never be any accidents in the competition between Gu Xiaofan and Jian Jingran, and Bai Jiqing's martial arts are strong, so he should already be in the chest.
But in the main hall, the burnt piece of cloth that Gui Shinan took out really puzzled Lin Yiren. Xiaoyinkan ...... Fengqingshan ...... The two places are far apart, and the wind and horses and cows are not compatible, if the assassin is really a member of Xiling Palace, how could Shen Youtong and Shen Yunpeng not sit in the Xiaoyin Pavilion, but they both went to Fengqing Mountain to relieve Gu Xiaofan of Gu poison?
When the assassins carried out the assassination, Shen Youtong and Shen Yunpeng were not present; the assassins were all wiped out, and Lin Qitan ordered someone to block the news; after Gu Xiaofan left Fengqing Mountain, Shen Youtong was furious; the next day, Shen Yunpeng was extremely angry when he was fighting, and he almost took off Yan Feng's arm...... This bit by bit of the incident, as if strung together by an invisible rope, reveals inexplicable weirdness and weirdness, even if Lin Yiren has insight into the inside story of Xiling Palace, he still vaguely feels that something is wrong.
If the Imperial Chrysanthemum is poisonous, most of this poison is related to Xiling Palace, since Xiling Palace plans to poison Lin Qitan, why would it make such a big move and give so many lives in vain?
What's more, there was a thunder fire buried under the ring in Xiling Palace, and once the thunder fire detonated, endangering the words, the war between the Yanyue Kingdom and the Zhen Kingdom was bound to break out. As long as Xiling Palace does not act rashly during the martial arts competition, the black cauldron of thunder and fire will definitely be counted on the head of Zhen Guo. But now, Shen Youtong suddenly became so sharp, as if he had given Chen Guo a reason to shirk in vain.
Xiling Palace has grievances with the Kingdom of Zhen and the Kingdom of Yanyue, when the three are in the same place, even if no one knows that the Palace of Xiling is the remnant of the Kingdom of Xuan, the death of the State of Yan and the Kingdom of Yanyue will lead to the defeat of both the Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Yanyue, and it is difficult for the Palace of Xiling to get out calmly.
Xiling Palace, there are killing moves for Yanxu, and there are also killing moves for Lin Qitan, no matter which of these two people has a situation, Shen Youtong can use the two countries to make a big article, in such a favorable situation, Xiaoyin Pavilion's assassination seems to be an abrupt and inexplicable action. The only hope was that Xinzhou would be able to bring back some clear news from the Owls, so that he could tell which side of the assassins were.
