Chapter 407: Succession

The elders of the Lin Mansion, after exchanging glances for a while, promised that Lin Zhu would definitely give her an explanation. At this point, it was time for Lin Zhu to leave the Lin Mansion, so she accepted her when she saw it, said goodbye to the people of the Lin Mansion, and took Minglu and Mu Jingwen to the General's Mansion in a carriage.

At this time, there were already people waiting inside the General's Mansion, and when he saw Lin Zhu coming back, he stepped forward and looked at her with concern, and saw that she was unharmed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's okay if it's okay." Aunt Chang had a relieved look on her face.

"What did the Lin family say?" General Chang's face was serious.

"Grandpa, you know everything." Lin Zhu didn't expect it to spread so quickly, just for such a short time, the general's mansion knew about it.

"What do you say?" Chang Tianlei glared at Lin Zhu angrily, and said in his heart, everyone is worried about her, and there is such a sentence when she arrives, is the General's Mansion so incompetent?

"Hehe," Lin Zhuzhi said that he was a little stupid in what he said just now. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. It is estimated that various versions of the story of the Lin Mansion will be transmitted in the capital tomorrow. "I told them the details of the matter, and Mrs. Lin said that she would give me a satisfactory explanation."

"Hmm." General Chang nodded, and the attitude of the Lin family was quite unsatisfactory. "You're frightened today, so go back to the house and rest." There was still someone waiting for her in Lin Zhu's courtyard, and General Chang didn't leave Lin Zhu to speak.

"Why are you here?" Lin Zhu was very surprised when he saw Mu Qiyue sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

"I'm coming to see you." Mu Qiyue saw the intact Lin Zhu, and the worry in his heart was put down. "I'm tired."

"It's fine." Lin Zhu sat down across from him. "Thank you." Mu Qiyue sent someone to wake her up. Lin Zhu naturally wants to express his gratitude.

"You and I don't have to be so polite." Mu Qiyue looked at Lin Zhu's face and said seriously. "I will deal with this matter, and the Zhao family will not pay attention to whatever they say to you." Zhao Cheng dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it seems that he shouldn't have softened his heart and let them go before.

"Okay." Lin Zhu nodded, there was still a little sweetness in his heart, the grievances he felt in the Lin Mansion before because of being calculated by others disappeared at this time because of Mu Qiyue's words. couldn't help but smile sweetly at Mu Qiyue.

Mu Qiyue has been on fire since he came out of the Lin Mansion, and now when he sees Lin Zhu's smile so trusting, where is he still angry. "In the future, it doesn't matter which one invites you over. Be careful. "Still. For the sake of Lin Zhu's good, you still have to be careful.

"I will." Originally, Lin Zhu was on guard against the Zhao family, and when this kind of thing happened, he became more cautious in his heart.

Mu Qiyue didn't stay in Lin Zhu for long. He has been out for a long time. This time I went to the Lin Mansion and had to come forward under the compulsion of Princess Qing. But. At this time, he was glad that he had passed. Otherwise, if Lin Zhu suffers a loss, he will not regret his death.

For the Hui'an Hou Mansion who dares to calculate Lin Zhu, there is also the Zhao family. Mu Qiyue had already decided to teach them a good lesson. Mu Qiyue had already heard General Chang say that Zhao Cheng had intended to marry Lin Zhu for his grandson, but he refused, and it seems that Zhao Cheng did not give up. actually came up with such a vicious method. wants to achieve his goal by destroying Lin Zhu's innocence.

On the one hand, the Zhao family probably wants to help her father, and on the other hand, she is very dissatisfied with the relationship between Lin Zhu and herself, and wants to remove obstacles for her daughter to participate.

But whatever it is, it's unforgivable.

Sure enough, the next day, various versions of Zhao Yu's fall into the water at Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet were circulated in the capital. Of course, among them, the sarcasm of Zhao Yu's incorrect heart and running to the place where the ladies played, it must be a bad intention.

Although the Zhao family was said to be unable to raise their heads, the Lin family did not fall well, and from time to time some people ridiculed the Lin family's lax royal majesty, and this kind of thing happened.

However, some people speculate that Zhao Yu's behavior is actually purposeful, otherwise how could he rush down to save people when his water nature is not good? So there were rumors that Zhao Yu fell into the water because he thought he had fallen into the water, and it was Lin Zhu who was standing on the shore at that time.

As soon as this rumor came out, it was widely spread, and some people also said, could it be that the Hou Mansion of Hui'an already wants to marry General Chang's Mansion?

Although the rumors have come out of General Chang's Mansion, the rumors have not stopped. All kinds of speculations and rumors are boiling.

At first, Lin Zhu thought that this incident was a rumor deliberately released by the Zhao family in order to excuse himself. But after General Chang sent someone to investigate, he found no evidence of the Zhao family's actions. Without evidence, of course, you can't go to the Hui'an Hou Mansion for questioning.

And Mu Qiyue thought so at first, but after Lu Mingtao told Mu Qiyue about his discovery, he was shocked to realize that someone's hand was stretched very long.

Since Mu Qiyue returned to Qingwangfu, he has been secretly sending people to pay attention to all kinds of news in the palace. And this time, the people sent by Lu Mingtao actually told them that the rumors that smeared the Lin Mansion were made by the people in the palace. The purpose is to use rumors to make Lin Zhu have to marry Zhao Yu for the sake of fame. This made Mu Qiyue break his mind about Lin Zhu.

When he heard this, Mu Qiyue was not only cold, but also disdainful of Qingwangfu's style. Therefore, he also stepped up certain actions.

A few days later, Qing Wangfu returned to the palace from the court, and along the way, he was very puzzled by some of the emperor's words. He didn't understand what the emperor meant. So, he called his three sons to the study.

"The emperor intends to give birth to a child for Princess Changmin, have you ever heard of it?" Qing Wang Ye looked at his three sons.

"Could this happen?" Mu Qicheng was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of it. glanced at Mu Qichen and Mu Qi'an, who were standing beside him, and found that they were just as confused as himself.

"Well, this morning, the emperor suddenly mentioned it. Although there are also several imperial histories who believe that there is no precedent for giving the princess a stepchild, it is already a big unfilial piety for the emperor to think that Princess Changmin has nurtured him, and it is already a big unfilial piety not to be able to serve the left and right, and it is even more wrong not to think about her more. "What Prince Qing was most puzzled about was that when the emperor was talking, he looked at him several times for unknown reasons, which made him feel worried. I never figured out what was wrong.

"The emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, he must have a candidate in his heart, but he was just testing everyone's attitude." I have to say that Mu Qichen is still relatively accurate.

"Who could that be?" Mu Qi'an asked with some confusion.

Who will be passed on to Princess Changmin is a question, and what benefits can be achieved after passing to Princess Changmin is a matter of concern to people. Of course, the emperor also said that Princess Changmin is a royal person, and her stepchildren must also be royal children.

As a result, everyone speculated which prince's mansion gave birth to which villains, and those villains were eligible to become the heirs of Princess Changmin. Whether to find a boy or a girl is also being discussed.

Generally, after a stepchild, everyone thinks that they will choose a child, so although Mu Qiyue has a very good relationship with Princess Changmin, and since Mu Qiyue returned to the palace, he has shown concern for him from time to time, and no one will think that Mu Qiyue will be passed on to Princess Changmin.

Of course, the emperor's golden words will naturally not be withdrawn, so many people have the idea of sending their grandson to Princess Changmin's mansion.

After all, Princess Changmin is a person who has been favored by two generations of emperors, and being able to become her family means that her status is very different from now on. Not all the royal children can become the prince's son, and some are even inferior to the ministers of the court.

Therefore, before the emperor came up with the rules, some people were anxious to use various methods to show the excellence of their children.

However, the emperor also said that no matter who he chooses, he must be approved by Princess Changmin. Therefore, for a while, the threshold of Princess Changmin's Mansion was stepped several inches lower.

After more than a month, whether it was the ministers or the various candidates proposed by the royal family, the emperor did not express any opinions, which made many people feel a little uneasy.

Who has no selfish intentions, if it weren't for Princess Changmin's extraordinary status, no one would send their children to the princess's mansion for nothing.

At this time, Prince Qing's feeling was getting worse and worse, and when he mentioned the question of the candidate for the successor several times, the emperor would cast a vague gaze at him. This made Qing Wangye a little apprehensive in his heart.

Among all the princes, only Qingwangfu did not submit a candidate to the emperor. Is it because of this? Qing Wang Ye was a little undecided. After consulting with his three sons, he decided to give one of them a try. Discover the emperor's attitude.

It's just that who to choose as the successor has become a problem for Qingwangfu. Most of them are children under the age of 10. The children under the age of ten in the Qing Wangfu are all the grandchildren of the Qing Wangye, but he has two grandchildren, where is he willing to choose one to go out.

After struggling in the house for a long time, he and his three sons privately decided to report Mu Qiyue as a candidate, anyway, so many children would definitely not choose him, just to deal with the emperor.

Princess Qing also thought that it was just a formality, and it would not have any impact on her current arrangements for Mu Qiyue, so she agreed.

King Qing actually chose Mu Qiyue, which surprised many people in the court. Everyone also speculated that in fact, Prince Qing was reluctant to have two grandsons in the family, so he chose a person like Mu Qiyue who was destined not to be chosen, which can be regarded as saving the emperor's face.

When Prince Qing reported Mu Qiyue's name, the emperor was relieved. It's finally here.

And after the emperor got all the lists, he also went through the motions, and decided on Mu Qiyue's name in front of the civil and military lawsuits.

This has puzzled many people. Qing Wang Ye was even more stunned. How so?

I went out to run errands, and I didn't come back until half past nine, and the make-up schedule was tomorrow. (To be continued......)
