Lin Long hid her worries, didn't say anything and was helped into the carriage by her husband, and after sitting down, she still lifted the curtain and looked at her husband, which revealed her mood.

Ye Xuyao just nodded, and then without hesitation, he turned around and negotiated again with the official who received the Nine Princes.

Lin Long just looked at it for a while, and said to the bandit stone outside: "Master still has business, let's go back to the house first." He glanced at Ye Xurong, whose eyes were red and swollen, "Uncle, what about you?" ”

Ye Xurong was in a very bad mood, after all, his mother's life and death were unknown, but he couldn't make trouble for his eldest brother now, so he said to his eldest sister-in-law: "I'll go back home with my sister-in-law first." ”

Lin Long glanced at him comfortingly, and finally nodded lightly and said, "Mother-in-law will definitely be auspicious." ”

Ye Xurong sniffed and looked strong, "I also believe in it." ”

Lin Long just closed the curtains of the car and leaned on the pillow to think about things.

In fact, the place she wants to go to the most is the palace, where there are her two precious sons, but she has to hold it down here, or go back to the house first, I am really worried about whether Ye Mingxi, the father-in-law, can handle the situation in the house, Ye Manzi is still young, and he can't count on it, as for the old Marquis Ye, he is old, and he doesn't know if his body will be affected by this incident?

After pondering for a moment, she pulled back the curtains of the car with the maid and beckoned to the steward who was riding a horse and following her, and the steward also cleverly approached her, "Grandma? ”

"Tell me everything about the house."

Hearing this command, the steward hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and then began to speak slowly.

Lin Long also listened carefully, and when he heard that the Hou Mansion was just a group of dragons without a leader, he didn't have any other symptoms, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked, "Is the old Hou Ye's body fine?" ”

"It's a little worse than before, the uncle has never been in charge of the inner house, and now all affairs have to be consulted by the old marquis. The old marquis was not in good spirits, and finally called the second, fourth and sixth ladies to return to the house every day to deal with trivial matters together. ”

Lin Long didn't frown when he heard this, this was also a helpless move, otherwise he could only call back Ye Qin's unconscious grandmother, I believe that the old marquis didn't want to arrange it like this.

I can't help but think about the kidnapping of Ye Zhong's family again, it seems that there are quite a lot of flaws in it, if there is no secret nail planted by others, how can the housewife be taken captive in the heavily guarded Hou Mansion? "Where did you find your wife?"

"I can't tell you this, after all, there was confusion in the memories of my wife's descendants that day." The steward frowned, "They also fell to the ground one by one, and in the end, they didn't understand who the wife was taken captive?" ”

"Except for my wife, everyone else in that house is still there?" Lin Long asked emphatically, can he kidnap Ye Zhong silently, this person must have been in the mansion for a long time, it is impossible to do it overnight, thinking of this, she felt a little afraid.

This Nine Princes is too insidious, and she still had a good impression of him in the past.

The steward heard this, but "this ......" for a long time, and he couldn't say that he was ugly, after all, there were many people he didn't pay attention to, and there were hundreds of people up and down the huge Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and it was really impossible to say who was gone.

Lin Long glanced at his expression, but he didn't embarrass him, but said to him, "You send someone back to the house first, talk to the wives of the three assistant housekeepers, ask them to count the number of people, and then draw up a roster for me to see, just say that I said it." ”

"Yes, grandma."

The steward was immediately pardoned, and the grandmother was young and more sophisticated in handling affairs than the wives of the three concubines.

Lin Long's carriage was on the way back to the mansion, but before he arrived at the mansion, Fang Weixin hurried over to tell Lin Long that Ye Xuyao received news on the way that the people who had tied up Ye Zhong's family wanted to change the Nine Princes, and now they were taking the Nine Princes to the place of exchange.

Fang Wanxin said very simply, but Lin Long was shocked when he heard it, his own man's approach was to bend the law for personal gain, after all, the emperor had already sent someone to hand over the handover, and when the Nine Princes entered the Zongren Mansion and were imprisoned, it would be too late. When he really got to that step of the field, no matter how capable Ye Xuyao was, it was in vain, he couldn't mention the Nine Princes without the Holy Lord's edict, and it was probably because he was afraid of such a situation, so the people of the Nine Princes were sure of this, so they chose to make a move at this time.

After Lin Long came to her senses, her eyebrows were already twisted together, and soon, she immediately made a decision, "Lord Fang, thank you for coming to sue me." Ignoring the gradual reply, she immediately said to the bandit: "Don't go back to the house, turn to the palace." The last gaze fell on Ye Xurong's body, "Uncle, you go back to the house first, don't panic, you must remember that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

Ye Xurong didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Long, it was not easy for him to enter the palace without fame, "Yes, sister-in-law." ”

The bandit stone did not talk nonsense, and immediately ordered the coachman to turn around and run in the direction of the palace.

Lin Long in the carriage clenched her nails, her heart was full of anxiety, Ruyan and Rumei, who were waiting on the side, did not dare to say anything, and Aunt Xin was even more tense, obviously she also realized that the situation was much more critical than she imagined.

Fang Wanxin was still watching Lin Long's carriage drive away, this young lady Hou reacted so quickly, their husband and wife came back from this trip, but after the incident just now, this credit will be discounted, if the saint really blames it, the Ye family will not only have no credit but also bear the charge. Now he entered the palace to state the situation, and secondly, he was also suspected of interceding, but the Marquis of Xiangyang married a virtuous helper, he thought enviously.

When the figures in front of him were far away, he turned the carriage and left.

Lin Long's heart was very anxious, wishing that he would be in the palace at this moment, and he hated the Nine Princes and the people related to him in his heart, which was really a disaster for thousands of years.

With Lin Long, the officials who failed to receive the Nine Princes had already entered the palace as soon as possible to report the situation to the emperor, but the second-class guard of Wei Chishi had caught up with Ye Xuyao, who was acting quickly, so he was not in the ranks of the report.

Lin Long handed the sign and entered the palace, but he didn't have time to look for Su Ziyu first, but went to the imperial study and knelt down at the door.

The eunuch guarding the door on the side glanced at her and heard her say, "Please also ask your father-in-law to go and report it, and say that Ye Lin's family came to ask for her husband's guilt." ”

The eunuch knew that Lin Long was a celebrity in front of the queen, and offending Lin Long was not offending the middle palace, as long as he was a discerning person, he could see the queen's love and attention to the two children of the Ye family.

He nodded hurriedly, and then went in with a whisk to report to his father-in-law inside.

Lin Long knelt on the cold steps, because it was already summer, she didn't feel cold, but she still felt cold sweat all over her body, worried about her husband and afraid that something would happen here, in short, the whole heart was very restless.

Fortunately, she didn't kneel for long before a eunuch came in to announce her in reply.

Lin Long was still a little dizzy when he got up, but he finally stabilized his body, calmly and calmly followed the eunuch's side to go inside, his eyes did not wander to look at the officials who came to report to him, but when he arrived in front of the emperor, he immediately knelt down, "See the emperor." ”

"Ngee Ann is back?" The emperor raised his head slightly, and also called Lin Long another title.

This kind of warm words made Lin Long's heart return to the ground in an instant, so the situation was not too bad, she raised her head and looked directly at the emperor, "Yes, the emperor." After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, the husband of the courtier's wife will do this this time completely for the sake of his mother-in-law, and I also ask the emperor to be lenient and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions......

The officials kneeling on both sides are looking at their noses and noses, and their noses are looking at their hearts, this Mrs. Xiangyang Hou is clearly pleading for her husband to exonerate her crimes, after all, it is a big crime to disobey the holy decree, and now she is still taking away the important criminals of the court in private, this is not a joke, no matter what reason you have?

Under the emperor's vigorous cleansing of the court, they have lost their previous respect for the Nine Princes, and in their eyes, the Nine Princes are treacherous and rebellious courtiers, and the crime can be punished. Even the Queen Mother lived in the palace on the grounds of recuperation, and who could save the Nine Princes?

Zhu Yi raised his hand to stop Lin Long from continuing to speak, "I already know about this matter, don't be impatient......

At this time, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the queen is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Su Ziyu is here?

Zhu Yi's eyes fell on Lin Long's body, and he immediately understood what was the purpose of his wife's arrival? Then he said in a deep voice: "Xuan." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch answered and hurried out.

A warm current flowed through Lin Long's heart, it must have been when she heard the news that she had entered the palace, so that her stepmother would come so quickly, suddenly, her eyes were slightly moist, and she didn't know how to repay Su Ziyu for this love in this life.

After a while, Su Ziyu, dressed in a light summer dress, walked in.

The courtiers in the imperial study knelt down one after another, "See the queen mother." ”

Lin Long also kowtowed, this is a number of etiquette, you can do anything in private, but on formal occasions, these etiquette numbers cannot be abolished.

Su Ziyu lightly raised his hand to signal everyone to flatten down, and stepped forward to salute Emperor Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi said softly, "Why is the queen here?" ”

Su Ziyu glanced at Lin Long and signaled that she didn't have to worry, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, can the concubine say a few words to the emperor alone." "After all, she is a harem concubine, and now that Ye Xuyao and Lin Long are husband and wife, they are already interfering in political affairs, so some things need to be avoided before they can be discussed.

Zhu Yi nodded and raised his hand to signal everyone to leave.

As a result, everyone, including Lin Long, rushed out and left this place to the most supreme couple in the world.

When there were no outsiders, Zhu Yi raised his hand to signal Su Ziyu, "You don't need to say much, I already know what you want to say, this time the matter of Ruyang City, Xiangyang Hou completed it better than I expected, this is a great achievement, I will reward my merits." After a pause, "As long as the ninth brother fails to escape, I remember that his filial piety is commendable, and I will not pursue it." ”

When Su Ziyu heard this, she knew that with Zhu Yi's position, this was the biggest concession, and she didn't need to say much, so she bent her knees, "The concubine thanked the emperor." ”

Zhu Yi got up, walked to her side and helped her up, "You and I are husband and wife, why do you need to thank you for seeing her like this?" Besides, you're pregnant. ”

Su Ziyu smiled indifferently, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, the concubine is the master of the harem, and it is necessary to lead by example." "Stroked the slightly bulging belly," Mama Jin said that the concubine's womb was stable, and there was no need to rest in bed like some time ago. ”

Zhu Yi didn't like her righteous and awe-inspiring words, that sense of powerlessness enveloped him again, his eyes looked at her stomach complicatedly, for a long time, he let go of the hand holding Su Ziyu, and waved lightly, "I still have official business, Ziyu, you go back to the palace first." ”

Su Ziyu nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and left the imperial study.

Zhu Yi, who was standing behind her, looked at her back for a long time, and when she went out, the eunuch closed the door of the imperial study, and then he slowly retracted his gaze, leaning his back in the dragon chair, he gently pinched and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, and recently he felt more and more that life was rare and satisfying.

It's not that Su Ziyu doesn't know that her husband is looking at her, but how about turning back? Since a few words of quarrel that day, they get along with each other in such an atmosphere, so that she can feel much more at ease. In her heart, Zhu Yi is the father of the child first, and then her husband, fortunately, Zhu Yi's feelings for the little prince have not changed, and he comes to visit once a day, but since that day, he has not stayed in her bedroom.

Lin Long stood in this majestic corridor, her mood fluctuated, and when she saw Su Ziyu coming out of it, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Stepmother." ”

Su Ziyu held her hand, knowing that she was in a hurry now, so she didn't sell it, but concisely stated Zhu Yi's words to Lin Long, and then said again: "You can relax, no matter what the result is, there is still me here, and I will plead with the emperor when the time comes." ”

Lin Long looked grateful, "Thank you stepmother." ”

It's not that she doesn't believe in her husband's ability, but there are no absolutes in the world, what if there is an omission? After all, she privately prefers Ye Zhong's safety, although the two are not like mother and daughter, but Ye Zhong's is definitely a good mother-in-law, and she naturally has to repay the favor.

Su Ziyu patted her hand, "You kid, I finally hope that you will return safely, my heart has settled down a lot, your two boys can already walk and talk, I don't know how cute they are, do you want to go and see them first or go home first." ”

Of course, Lin Long wanted to go to see her son first, but when she thought of the chaos in the house, she still shook her head with a gloomy expression, "Mother-in-law, I still don't want to see the children first, they are the safest with you, and now that the house is in chaos, I have to go back first." ”

The only way to do this is to entrust the children to Su Ziyu to take care of.

Su Ziyu didn't force her, knowing that her heart was uncomfortable, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.

The two of them walked in this corridor and were about to go down the steps, but they saw a woman dressed as a palace lady coming with three palace maids.

She walked in front of Su Ziyu and saluted, "The slave maid has seen the queen's mother, the lord of Ngee An." ”

Su Ziyu glanced at her, didn't make a sound, but left directly, as if she hadn't seen such a person.

That Gong'e was not disappointed, and still stood up without humility or arrogance.

Lin Long looked back curiously, but when she saw this palace lady raise her head, her eyes immediately straightened, this, it was really like a hell, she hurriedly pulled Su Ziyu's sleeve, "Mother-in-law, this palace maid?" ”

Su Ziyu glanced at the corner of her eyes, and the corner of her mouth hooked mockingly, "Isn't it similar to me?" ”

"Is it more than looks?" Lin Long's eyes have always been very sharp, so at a glance, he can see that the temperament on this palace maid is also somewhat similar to Su Ziyu, just like the fake that is not perfect but godlike, of course, this palace maid is young and looks more vibrant, which is not seen in Su Ziyu today.

Su Ziyu was still strolling down the steps, and a string of palace maids and eunuchs behind her also hurriedly followed.

Lin Long retracted his gaze, but his heart was mixed, and he peeked at Su Ziyu, not knowing what words to say to comfort her. Although this woman is dressed as a palace maid, but looking at the clothes and dress, it is different from ordinary palace maids, not only that, but she also appeared around the emperor's imperial study, does it not clear that Zhu Yi knows her, and arranges a position very close to him.

Su Ziyu was still smiling as always, and patted Lin Long's hand, "I don't feel sad and sad, so don't put on such a face for me." ”

"Your Majesty?" Lin Long saw that this stepmother didn't seem to care, so he dared to ask.

No matter what, she still hopes that Su Ziyu can be happy, whether it is the relationship between husband and wife, or the relationship between children, I hope she can be consummated.

"That palace maid's name is called Zisheng, and she works as an errand in the emperor's imperial study." Su Ziyu lightly stated this fact, "This palace maid was discovered by the emperor, but I didn't expect him to be so close to him, which is not unusual." The corners of her mouth rose, "When she is pregnant with the dragon seed one day and reborn, she may be able to enter the eyes of this palace." ”

In other words, at present, she does not feel that such a fake can threaten her anything, and there are only two things that a woman in the harem can rely on, one is the emperor's favor, and the other is the heir.

These two things have not completely accounted for the same as the palace maid named Zisheng.

Lin Long's husband doesn't take concubines, so she has always disliked men hugging left and right, not to mention that she still turned her back on her wife and had skin-to-skin relationships with other women, so she cautiously asked, "The emperor favored her?" ”

Su Ziyu is in the middle palace, so she naturally knows the situation in Zhu Yi's room, "This is not yet, but who knows when the emperor will be happy to let her sleep." Well, I don't have to worry about this, and you don't need to feel stuffy for me, it's been a commonplace thing for a long time, and I'll tell you the truth, I'm very satisfied with such a day now. ”

The heart of love has long been turned to ashes with the cremation of Red Leaf Villa, but fortunately, her heart has only been slightly shaken, otherwise I am afraid that it will be another catastrophe.

Lin Long saw the benevolent look in his stepmother's eyes, and only felt embarrassed, he must have been so hopeless because his heart was like ashes.

Until she got into the carriage and returned home, she still looked preoccupied, the only thing worth being happy about this trip back to Beijing was to hear that Su Ziyu was pregnant with a dragon seed again, and she sincerely hoped that Su Ziyu could have a few more children.

The carriage drove back to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, it was not early, and the second lady Ye Wang, the fourth lady Ye Cheng and the sixth lady Ye Tian had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Although they are elders, it is now obvious that the Ye family respects the long house, and naturally hopes to have a good relationship with Lin Long, especially the Ye Wang family and the Ye Cheng family, the two of them have had a disagreement with Lin Long, and they are trying to show their best at this time.

"My nephew and daughter-in-law are back?" Ye Wang's clan was the first to rush to the front-
