Chapter 185: Counterattack

When King Rui saw Xiao Chen's mother and son who were sent to the palace, it was already nightfall.

Princess Rui has been waiting in the front yard since she saw the person who sent it.

Xiao Chen's family often walks around in the circle of noblewomen, of course she also recognizes it, even Lin Haopeng has seen it twice, but she never thought that these two people would actually have a relationship with her husband!

The minister's wife gave birth to an illegitimate child for his husband!

As a famous and noble girl, Princess Rui, who has excellent cultivation, is now also clouded on her face, looking at the similarity between Lin Haopeng's eyebrows and her husband, which is even more disgusting like eating a fly.

"Don't blame the concubine for opening the letter, the good minister's wife was thrown in a carriage outside the palace gate covered in blood, and this letter is the only one on the side, and the concubine has to figure out the situation." Disgusted, she looked away from the bastard's face, and Princess Rui tried to make herself appear calm.

Lin Haopeng was also tied hand and foot, his mouth was also blocked, and his face was full of tears.

After carefully studying him, King Rui glanced at the letter in his hand again, and then tore it to shreds.

"This matter is left by this king's confusion, the princess has been wronged, and their mother and son are handed over to you to deal with." King Rui got up, casually threw the shredded paper behind him, and sprinkled it all over the ground.

When the words fell, the person had quickly walked out of the house, leaving Princess Rui who could no longer hide the resentment on her face.

If you are wronged, act as if nothing happened?!

She knows that the person next to her is used to being cold-blooded and ruthless, and in his eyes, the world is only divided into useful and useless, but she never thought about the relationship between husband and wife for ten years, and it is only useful in his eyes!

Princess Rui's chest was so resentful that she was about to explode, and in the end, she was finally pressed down.

Since she was asked to deal with it, then this mother and son were also classified as useless by him, and since this was the case, she didn't need to show too much affection.

With a flash of coldness in her eyes, Princess Rui called her confidant mother, put a sack on Lin Haopeng, and threw it in the car again to a hidden Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Then she got up again and went to the house where Xiao Chen's family was temporarily housed.

Xiao Chen had already woken up at this time, but it was just pain in his body. There was also a large amount of blood loss, which made her so weak that she almost couldn't even open her eyes.

Princess Rui stared at the bed with a beautiful face, but Xiao Chen, who had a pale face and a little charm, sneered on her lips.

Regardless of what her husband had done before. made this woman pregnant with a child for a while, but she had to admit that this woman did have a bit of a seductive taste.

"I think you also recognize this princess, so let's say, what are your unfulfilled wishes? This princess took pity on you for giving birth to the prince's flesh and blood, and sent a kind heart. ”

The woman's voice was so cold that it made people tremble, and Xiao Chen's heart trembled.

Since waking up and seeing different furnishings, Xiao Chen knew that he was no longer in Shangshu Mansion.

is not in Shangfushu, and can save her, she thinks about it and has only one person, until she sees Princess Rui, she is even more sure of her thoughts.

She is in King Rui's Mansion, King Rui saved her!

As soon as Princess Rui opened her mouth, she broke the self-belief in her heart, Princess Rui's words clearly pointed out that she was a dead person!

"I... I'm going to... See the prince. Xiao Chen spit out a sentence very weakly.

The sneer on Princess Rui's lips deepened. "The prince has already handed over your mother and son to me to deal with, and I don't want to see you even if I want to, so I can't help you."

The word processing made Xiao Chen's brain boom, and he was so shocked that his eyes turned black.

What does it mean to hand it over to Princess Rui, didn't King Rui say that he would give her son a name?! Princess Rui's meaning is that it has a deep meaning that makes people shudder!

Seeing that Xiao Chen's suddenly became excited, his eyes widened, and he seemed to want to get up, Princess Rui lazily raised her hand and took off the phoenix hairpin in her bun, leaned over and slowly swiped Xiao Chen's cheek with the tip.

The sharp tip of the hairpin left a bloody mark on Xiao Chen's face in an instant.

"It seems that you have not yet realized the fate of being a useless person, and you have not realized what an outcast should have. You are so pathetic, this princess will take good care of your son. After all, he is the blood of the prince..."Princess Rui sneered, her eyes fixed on the blood marks she had drawn, as if she was appreciating everyone's handwriting.

Xiao Chen's eyes were full of fear. I couldn't believe Princess Rui's words, and I wanted to ask about her son's whereabouts, but she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth in this impatience.

Princess Rui saw enough, rubbed the tip of the hairpin on Xiao Chen's body to dry the blood, reinserted it into her hair, and turned away with a contemptuous smile.

Night. The mass graves on the outskirts of the city have more red than they are faced. Naked female corpse.

And the book outside the Rui Wang's Mansion was brightly lit all night.

・・

In the early morning of the next day, in the old lady's bedroom in Mozhuju, Lin Wanwan was holding her toes to give the old man a formal hat.

Old lady Lin bent down slightly, letting her granddaughter tidy up, with drama in her eyes: "I thought you would at least hide until the Mid-Autumn Festival before you would see me again." ”

Looking at the official hat left and right, Lin Wanwan pursed her lips: "Where did grandfather start with this, yesterday my granddaughter was unwell and did not have a morning and dusk province, how can I hide from you." ”

"It turns out that you are not hiding from me, you are afraid that I will settle the account, then you said that I once asked you to talk to me if you have something, why did you go down in private and let the kid surnamed Su check the matter of the thin horse. How often do you contact each other, how do you contact them, the carrier pigeon in your yard is so fat that it can't fly to the sky. ”

The old man's teasing tone made Lin Wanwan's ears slightly hot, and she simply played tricks: "The granddaughter didn't understand what her grandfather said about contacting or not, and she didn't ask him to investigate this matter, this was sent by the carrier pigeon by himself privately." ”

Old lady Lin laughed when she heard this, and raised her hand to knock on the head of the girl who was clearly panicked. "You can still lie to me without changing your face, and you have a chance! I'm too lazy to care about you little kids, don't be bullied and cry your nose and come to me again! ”

What a little brat, grandfather, you are a literati, why are you so unelegant!

Lin Wanwan was covered with her head and glared dissatisfied.

Old lady Lin really didn't talk about it anymore, and raised her feet to the outside room to have breakfast.

Outside, Lin Haohong and Lin Haoqi are already here, and there is one more person today - Lin Haoshu.

Seeing the old lady come out, everyone hurriedly saluted, and then sat down to eat with the old man.

There is no need to go to court today, but Mrs. Lin wants to sit in the office, and after dinner, she goes out.

Sending the old man to the door of Mozhu Courtyard, Lin Wanwan turned around and wanted to go to the study to continue copying the Heart Sutra, but her brother punished her a little harshly, she really wanted to cut off her hand.

before walking under the verandah. She saw Lin Haoshu standing there looking at the green bamboo in the courtyard around the corner.

She didn't think much about it, and called the third brother as usual. "Why isn't the third brother in the study, but he just came here today and is not adaptable? My grandfather's questions were all very weird. Don't be too embarrassed. ”

Lin Haoshu retracted his gaze and landed on her face, and then showed a smile as light as orchid. "I deliberately waited for the third sister here."

Lin Wanwan looked at him strangely when she heard this, but Lin Haoshu suddenly looked at her deeply: "The third brother has thanked my sister for her help, if it weren't for the third sister." My aunt and I are afraid that we have been kicked out of the house. My aunt asked me to make amends for what I had done to my mother. ”

didn't expect Lin Haoshu to suddenly talk about this, Lin Wanwan was stunned.

Last night, she heard Coriander say that Aunt Wu asked for a dumb medicine, and she fried it by herself and drank it, and she couldn't make a sound anymore.

She heard that she admired such a tenacious woman, and she really understood what it means to be a mother and be strong.

As a concubine, she is still half a slave in the end, and when she heard so much secret, she was not punished in any other way at the moment, but she was guaranteed that there would be a day.

But she is still in the house, and her son still has to support her husband. She can only do reassuringly.

Let her decide to herself that she can't give up her son, she can't read, and the way she can keep it secret is to make herself unable to speak.

Although she poured herself dumb medicine herself, Lin Wanwan was timid when she thought about it, but Aunt Wu, who was usually elegant, did this step, and she really admired it. It's not like her at all, she was so scared that she didn't even resist when she was aborted in her previous life.

Lin Wanwan despised herself in the bottom of her heart, and looked at the young man who was deep and did not avoid this gift: "I accept the apology, the third brother should study hard, don't let your aunt suffer so hard." ”

Aunt Wu had helped Xiao Chen before, and she had designed her mother a lot. Although she didn't want to hate, this apology could be regarded as an explanation to her mother.

After receiving a salute, Lin Wan bent his knees and walked past him to the study.

Lin Haoshu waited for her to go away. He slowly straightened up, and the smile on his face was bitter.

He seems to have taught this sister a lesson for the second time, only saying that he had received an apology but never said that he was willing to forgive or not, his sister is really incomprehensible, and her temperament is really obedient.

Lin Haoshu thought about it, and the wry smile turned into a happy low smile. He suddenly regretted that he did not have a sister of the same mother.

Shangshufu experienced a lot of waves, and this wave also hit King Rui.

Old Lady Lin sent Xiao Chen's mother and son to him, and it was already a frontal declaration of war.

As a prince with real power in his hands, the calculations of the painstaking management for nearly ten years have been in vain, and King Rui can't stand this anger. He summoned his staff overnight to get the charter, and prepared a counterattack to defend his majesty and deter him again!

And as soon as he got dressed at dawn, he hurriedly entered the palace to meet the emperor.

When he arrived, the emperor had just had breakfast, and he couldn't help but be surprised to see his brother in a hurry.

"You are usually asked to enter the palace, and you are busy with business, and you look like you want to sit on the yamen, which is unusual today."

To the royal brother's joke, King Rui smiled, and there was self-blame hidden between his clear eyebrows: "The imperial brother doesn't want to make fun of his younger brother, and the imperial brother doesn't want to be nagged by the queen mother, and always says that the imperial brother I don't know how to share it for the imperial brother, how dare the imperial brother run to the palace if he is fine!" ”

The emperor also smiled, he really didn't blame him, the old woman was really bad for nagging, and he would have to hide if it was him.

"You're not afraid that I will pass this on to my mother, since you don't have to be idle, what's the urgency?"

The emperor didn't miss the look on King Rui's face, and took the initiative to ask, and King Rui took the opportunity to hand over the fold.

Suspiciously taking it, the emperor opened the fold and browsed slowly, but after just looking at a few lines, his face became extremely ugly.

"Really?" The Emperor threw the fold on the table and stared at King Rui.

King Rui's self-blame deepened on his face, and he lifted his robe and knelt down. This matter was due to the negligence of his younger brother, and he did not go to the treasury in person when he checked and handed over the accounts, but Lin Shangshu handled it single-handedly. The younger brother thought that Lin Fuguo was also the former prime minister, and he had his own set of actions, and his younger brother's qualifications were far inferior to Lin Fuguo's. I didn't know that someone came to report the secret with his last breath last night, only to know that the household department had a deficit of 100,000 taels of silver. ”

After finishing speaking, King Rui's head lowered again, and he felt extremely guilty, and he had no face to face the emperor's trust.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and the anger that had just appeared had been exhausted, and this look made people wonder what he was thinking at the moment.

The emperor didn't say anything, and of course King Rui wouldn't say anything more.

The so-called too many words must be lost, what he has to do has already been done, and then it depends on what the emperor does. But he hoped that the emperor would not deal with it first, and he was secretly more suspicious when he suppressed it, once he was suspicious of the emperor, and then he could only get one reused minister.

What he wanted was to plant a seed first, and then irrigate it little by little, so that he could sprout in the emperor's heart, and when the branches were too dense, he had to be uprooted!

In this way, the Lin family will not recover, and he will have enough time to get what he wants in the Ministry of Industry!

The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the fold: "I know about this, and I will send someone to find out." You have also sat in the household department before, and you are extremely unsuitable to come forward in this matter, so it should be a kind of suspicion. However, you have been in charge of the household department for nearly two years, and now you have found out that the account is empty, which is really a bit disappointing to me. ”

"One hundred thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is a lot less, how can you not find it when you check the library every year?"

In the face of this kind of doubt, Ruiwang has already responded. "My younger brother has been in charge of the household department for nearly two years, but he has only experienced last year's big inspection, and my younger brother did see real gold and silver at that time, so he was deceived."

King Rui is a very smart person, and when he heard the emperor say the value of 100,000 taels of silver, he already understood that he actually intended to suppress the matter first, but it was not good to express his position directly for fear of chilling his heart, so he would take some responsibility first. Let him also be involved in the negligent relationship, so that he can take the next step.

Sure enough, the emperor who had just said that he wanted to verify it smiled when he heard his words and did not shirk it. "Don't say it's you, if I see it is believing, I won't be suspicious. It seems that there are some mysteries in the deficit of this silver, you have seen that the silver may not only lose the 100,000 taels, I have to think about it carefully and then take the charter. Hurry up, don't blame yourself too much. ”

The two of them, who had achieved their goal, had a shallow smile in their eyes, and King Rui got up and retired directly.

The emperor didn't stay, but just looked at his departing back and pondered again.

100,000 taels of silver...... Lin Hongzhi?!

So Lin Lao Fox was suddenly willing to return to the dynasty in order to protect him, a son who is greedy for ink?!

The Emperor suddenly felt that this court was going to become interesting.

"Han De, you and I have a detailed talk, the queen reported something urgent last night, and I seem to have heard and heard the words of Shangshufu. It's a coincidence. ”

Han De, who had been standing behind the emperor, stepped forward slightly and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it was the queen's mother who was walking in the imperial garden at night, and suddenly rushed out of an old woman, covered in blood, and only said Shangshu Mansion and a Chen character, and she was angry. The queen was frightened, but when she heard that the minister's mansion was involved, she reported it to the emperor. But the emperor, you were busy with political affairs at that time, and you made a decree that no one was allowed to disturb you, so the slave let the queen mother go back first......"
