Takamatsu was bribed by the imperial court with the intention of disfavoring Yunqing, and the news spread back to Ho Castle, causing an uproar.

Regarding this matter, Yuxi felt that there was something inside: "Not to mention that the masters around the prince are like clouds, and the guards are also carefully selected, but it is only said that the prince himself is strong in martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him." "Unless Gao Song is crazy, he will not want to assassinate Yunqing.

Xu Wu said: "The news from Jiangnan is like this. As for whether there is something strange, the prince knows this matter best. Xu Wu's meaning asked Yuxi to write to Yunqing.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "You write to ask Si Bonian." "As Yunqing's personal guard, Si Bonian must know about this.

Xu Wu asked a little inexplicably: "Why didn't the princess ask the prince directly?"

Under normal circumstances, Yunqing would definitely tell her about this in the letter, but the result was that Yunqing's reply this time did not improve the matter. With Yuxi's understanding of Yunqing, unless this matter is related to her, Yunqing will not say nothing. Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I have a feeling that Gao Song's matter may have something to do with me. ”

Xu Wu was very surprised: "How can this matter be related to the princess?

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I've asked Si Bonian, and I know if I'm thinking too much." Although she also felt that it was impossible, after all, she had nothing to do with Takamatsu. But there are some things that cannot be inferred by common sense.

Although he felt that Yuxi's idea was a little inexplicable, Xu Wu still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write to ask Si Bonian." ”

As he was talking, he heard Xu Daniu say in a loud voice outside: "Princess, Gao Song's daughter-in-law Xie took the child to kneel at the gate of the palace and shouted grievances, saying that she asked to see the princess. ”

Yuxi said to Xu Wu: "You can solve this matter!" Although she thought that there was something inside to this matter, one thing was certain, Gao Song must have made a big mistake and touched Yunqing's scales. Otherwise, with Yunqing's temperament, Gao Song would be dismissed from his post at most, and it would be impossible for Gao Song to be executed.

When Xie saw Xu Wu, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Lord Xu, my lord must have been wronged, please let me see the princess." Xie didn't believe that her husband would do such a rebellious thing, she thought that Gao Song was framed.

Xu Wu didn't let his mother-in-law help Xie up, and said expressionlessly: "Gao Song's intentions are not good for the prince, and it is not an exaggeration to divide the corpses of the five horses." Leaving him a whole corpse is already an extrajudicial grace from the prince. ”

Xie cried and said, "Impossible. My lord respects the prince the most, how can it be unfavorable to the prince. Lord Xu, there must be something inside to this matter, my lord must have been framed. ”

Xu Wu said coldly: "This is what the prince himself said, do you mean that the prince framed Gao Song?"

Xie was a little flustered, shook his head and cried and said, "Lord Xu, it must be the prince who is mistaken, my lord will not harm the prince." Lord Xu, please let me meet the princess! The princess will definitely be able to see everything and avenge my lord. ”

Xu Wu didn't bother to talk to her, and said, "For the sake of your orphans and widows, I won't be held accountable for what happened just now." But if you dare to kneel again, I will put you in prison directly. After speaking, let the mother-in-law drag Xie out.

Xu Daniu hesitated and said, "Boss, did you say that Gao Song was really bought by the imperial court?"

Xu Wu said: "This is the final conclusion of the prince's coffin, don't you also think that the prince is wronging him?"

Xu Daniu shook his head and said, "How dare I doubt the prince." I feel that the world is impermanent. It's only been a long time before Gao Song actually rebelled, and he dared to intend to be unfavorable to the prince. Those people in the imperial court are really powerful. "It made him a little frightened.

Seeing this, Xu Wu said: "As long as you sit upright and don't get caught by them, no matter how many means these people have, they can't help you." "Gao Song's character is problematic, he was caught, and he didn't want to die, so he had to obey someone's orders.

Xu Daniu said twice: "Beauty, it's not so easy to bear." He used to envy Gao Song and Yu Cong for being able to hug left and right! Now he has no idea.

Xu Wu looked at his stupid appearance and said, "Be a good errand, don't let people take advantage of the loophole, I have to go and restore the princess's life." ”

Hearing Xie say that Gao Song was framed, Yuxi shook his head and said, "But if Gao Song can take care of his wife and children, he will not do such a thing." "There is something strange about the assassination of Yunqing, but Gao Song embezzled and took bribes and used his power to open the door for the people's congress, but the evidence is conclusive. Even if there is no folding fan incident, in order to make an example of the chickens, Yunqing will also deal with Gao Song.

Xu Wu said: "He is relieved to die, but leaving the Xie family and a few children will suffer." "If Takamatsu dies in battle, not only will he have a generous pension, but his children will also have all kinds of preferential treatment. But now that Gao Song has died so disgracefully, his wife and children will not have a good time.

Yuxi glanced at Xu Wu and said, "Although Gao Song is dead, he still has to deal with his family according to the law. "Takamatsu's crime is treason, which is a great crime involving the three clans. However, Takamatsu no longer has any relatives, so he only implicates his wife and children.

Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Princess, is this a little too cruel?" Even if he defected when he was in Yucheng, his family would be discriminated against and looked down upon by everyone, and he would not be punished. It is equivalent to saying that I made a mistake and does not implicate the small family.

Yuxi said: "It's not lynching, but according to the law." Even if it is cruel, it is a sin created by Takamatsu himself. After a pause, Yuxi said, "So this person really can't make a wrong step." Otherwise, not only will you lose your life, but you will also have to implicate your wife and children. ”

Although Xu Wu couldn't bear it, he didn't open his mouth to plead. The country has its own laws, and if it violates the law, it must be punished.

Two days later, Lin asked to see Yuxi.

Yuxi heard Xu Wu's courtesy, and said with a displeased face: "The Lin family asks to see, can you hand over the post first?" Of course, unless it's a close relative, you don't need to.

Xu Wu said: "Maybe there is some emergency?" He couldn't figure out the Lin family, after so many years in Ho City, he didn't even know the etiquette of needing to hand over the post first to meet the princess, and he didn't know what she had been doing for so many years.

Yuxi smiled and said, "What do you think she can do urgently?" Lin is just an inner house woman, and she doesn't touch outside things, what big deal can she have.

Xu Wu's face was a little red.

Yuxi said: "I still have a bunch of folds that I haven't read, so I don't have time to see her." What are you going to do with her?"

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Without waiting for Xu Wu to go out, Tan Tuo came over. Xu Wu said hello to Tan Tuo and walked out of the courtyard.

When he arrived in the living room and looked at the haggard Lin family, Xu Wu bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, the princess is talking to Lord Tan, and I don't know when to talk about it." Sister-in-law, tell me anything first, and I'll come back later. ”

Lin pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll wait here." ”

Xu Wu said: "Sister-in-law, the princess and Lord Tan can't talk about things in an hour or two. ”

Lin straightened his waist and said, "I can wait." ”

This attitude clearly distrusted him, and Xu Wu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, for Yu Cong's sake, he didn't care about the Lin family: "When the princess finishes talking to Lord Tan, I will return to the princess immediately." ”

Lin nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

Xu Wu said with a smile: "It's all a family, and my sister-in-law is too outrageous when she says this." ”

Yuxi talked with Tan Tuo for nearly half an hour before finishing the talk. After Tan Tuo went out, Yuxi asked Xu Wu: "What is the matter with the Lin family coming to me?"

Xu Wu smiled bitterly: "She doesn't want to tell me, she insists on seeing the princess." Princess, see if you can see her. ”

Yuxi knocked on the table and said, "Is the matter of Yu Cong's concubine in Jiangnan known by the Lin family?"

Xu Wu felt unlikely: "If he wants to ask about this, just ask me directly, why insist on seeing the princess?"

Yuxi shook her head lightly and said, "She is afraid that if she asks you, you will help Yu Cong hide it." "Xu Wu has a good relationship with Yu Cong, and it is precisely because of this that the Lin family is not at ease.

Xu Wu remembered the Lin family's temperament and asked, "Princess, if she really asks about this, the princess must not tell her the truth." After a pause, Xu Wu said: "With her temperament, if she knows, I'm afraid it will turn the world upside down." ”

Yuxi laughed, and the smile was full of sarcasm: "You can't hide it for a while." When the children of those two women are born, can Yu Cong not bring them back?" Yu Cong wanted a child of his own, which was understandable, but he shouldn't hide it from the Lin family.

Xu Wu also had a headache and said, "Before Yu Cong comes back, this matter has to be hidden. "When Yu Cong comes back, how to tell the Lin family is his business.

Yuxi suddenly asked, "When did you know about Yu Cong's concubine?" Xu Wu didn't tell her about it, Yuxi knew about it from Yang Duoming.

Xu Wu said with some shame: "I knew it a month ago, and I didn't know how to talk to the princess at that time. "This delay has dragged on until now.

Yuxi said with a little amusement: "It's not the prince who takes a concubine in Jiangnan, what is it difficult for you to speak?" As long as it is not Yunqing's concubine, it has nothing to do with other men's concubines.

Xu Wu said: "It's my fault. It just so happened that at that time, Yuxi talked about the dangers of the general's concubine, and let Xu Wu swallow back the words that came to his mouth. He wrote to persuade Yu Cong, only to reply that he wanted his own child. It's about the heir, and he can't say anything anymore, this delay has been delayed until now.

As Yuxi expected, the Lin family asked to see Yuxi, and it was really for Yu Cong to take a concubine.

Although there was this speculation, but when he heard the Lin family ask Yu Cong if he had a concubine in Jiangnan, Yuxi still felt ridiculous. Accepting a concubine is a private matter, and she even asked her here, she can still manage her subordinates to take concubines.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't know if General Yu has a concubine in Jiangnan. ”

Lin's eyes turned red: "Princess, you and I are both women, I just ask you to give me an accurate answer." ”

If it was ten years ago, Yuxi might still feel sympathy when he saw Lin like this. But now, Yuxi's heart is not at all wavering: "General Yu is far away in Jiangnan, and I am so busy that my feet don't touch the ground on weekdays, how can I have time to pay attention to whether General Yu accepts concubines or not." ”

Lin looked at Yuxi, saw that Yuxi's expression was as usual, and his eyes did not dodge, and he also believed Yuxi's words: "Princess, please help me inquire and see if Yu Cong really accepted a concubine in Jiangnan." ”

Yuxi was speechless when she heard this, and asked her to help inquire about the news, who does the Lin family think she is? Well, it is completely impossible to get along with the Lin family. Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let people inquire." ”

Lin stood up and bowed, and said, "I also know that I shouldn't talk to the princess, but I really have no one to ask for." If there is anything inappropriate, please don't blame the princess. ”

The words were all finished by the Lin family, and if she blamed her, she wouldn't be too petty. However, Yuxi also knew that the Lin family was not good at talking, and he didn't care about her. After weighing it in his heart, Yuxi opened his mouth and asked, "What should you do if you hear that General Yu is really taking a concubine in Jiangnan?"

When Lin Shi heard this, his whole person froze. After a long time, Lin said in a low voice: "My father was unwilling to marry me to him at that time, and he knelt on the ground and made an oath at that time, saying that I would be the only one in this life. If you break your oath and die with ten thousand arrows piercing your heart, you will go to eighteen layers of hell after death. ”

Seeing this, Yuxi smiled bitterly. Women, too, are always moved by men's vows. But how many men can keep their vows? In the end, the woman is wallowing in pain, while the man embraces the blessings of others.

After a while, Yuxi said, "Don't be sad, I just said just in case." General Yu has a deep affection for you, I see it in my eyes, and he will definitely not do anything sorry for you. ”

Lin snorted: "I believe him too." ”

If you really believed Yu Cong, it would be impossible to come to the door to ask her. Yuxi smiled and said, "It's good that you can think like this." In another three months, they will be able to come back. ”

Lin didn't seem to hear Yuxi's words, looked up at Yuxi and said: "But everything is in case, if he really takes a concubine in Jiangnan and has a child, I will die to show him." "After so many years of husband and wife, how could she not know that Yu Cong wanted a child of her own. The thought of another woman giving birth to her husband's child makes her feel the urge to destroy everything. It is also because of this idea that the Lin family is reluctant to take a concubine and have children. Because she was afraid that she would not be able to help but strangle the child when the time came. In order not to create murder, she stopped Yu Cong from taking a concubine.

Yuxi was stunned for two seconds when he heard this, then came back to his senses and said, "Even if Yu Cong takes a concubine, you can't just think about dying! What should you do if you die a child? A motherless child is a grass, can you bear it?" This idea is too extreme.

The Lin clan did not let go of Yuxi's words.

Yuxi said: "You go back first! When I have news, I will send someone to tell you." "Yuxi will understand a little why Yu Cong will take a concubine in Jiangnan. Because in Pickaxe City, he didn't have the courage at all.

The Lin family gave Yu Xi a blessing and withdrew.
