Those men took the family out of the city and made it all the way back to the capital. On the way, Chen thought that he would not admit anything and say nothing. Find a chance to hit your head and die. But she didn't have a chance. The gang watched very closely, and she had no chance to kill herself. When she arrived in the capital, she was forced to ask how Chen was willing to speak out back then. But when the other party threatened the lives of his children, Chen had to bow his head and give in. A pair of children is her life, and it is also the blood and blood of the Lu family. She couldn't let them get hurt. These things have nothing to do with them.

So on the condition that he was assured that the lives of his children would not be harmed, Chen confessed everything he knew. Chen knew she was in big trouble, but she didn't know how much of a stir her words would cause, but in any case, she was a woman with a bad fate.

In the garden, Guo Chong's face was pale, the fold was very detailed, and Wu Chunlai's report was also very logical. Wu Chunlai conducted an investigation and verification for more than a month after receiving Chen's confession, and obtained a large number of witnesses, which further proved the fact that Concubine Rong deceived the emperor and transferred the daughter born to her as a son. Guo Chong also remembered a lot of old events, and remembered the doubts when he suspected that Guo Hao, the son of Concubine Rong, was quite different from himself. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Rong and his marriage were perfect, he would have suspected Concubine Rong of being unfaithful. Now it seems that this tanuki in exchange for the prince's heir should be a fact.

Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun, Wu Chunlai and others secretly observed Guo Chong's face, and saw that Guo Chong's face was becoming more and more gloomy and terrifying, and they were both worried and expectant. The worry is that this scandal was dug up by a few of his own people, after all, this is knowing the secret of the royal family, which is actually very dangerous. What I expect is that Guo Chong is a very face-saving person, and I don't know how he will deal with such a thing.

Finally, Guo Chong said in a deep voice: "What do you think I should do with this matter?" ”

The three of them were all stunned, and said in their hearts: Isn't it a joke that you want us to make up your mind about this kind of thing. You'll have to make up your own mind.

Yang Jun and Wu Chunlai did not speak, but Lu Zhongtian bowed down and replied: "The old minister thinks that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, although Concubine Rong has the crime of bullying the king, but there may be something hidden. Lao Chen suggested that this matter should end here, after all, this kind of thing still damages the royal face. The ministers immediately dealt with the aftermath, destroyed all the witnesses, and never leaked the slightest bit out, so as not to have different opinions among the people. ”

Lu Zhongtian knew Guo Chong, and he actually understood that Guo Chong would not tolerate this kind of thing. But if he suggested that this matter be investigated strictly, with Guo Chong's suspicious nature, he would definitely be suspicious again. So he deliberately said these words by retreating. In fact, these words are more effective than adding fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, Guo Chong said coldly: "That's the crime of bullying the king?" Something like this happened in my harem, is this worth it? My heir is related to the Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, and she dares to use the son of an outsider to pretend to be my son, and her heart can be punished. I won't spare her. How could I spare this slut? ”

Lu Zhongtian and the others were happy in their hearts, and Lu Zhongtian's worried face continued to add fuel to the fire. "The emperor's words made the old minister break out in a cold sweat, if the third prince Guo Hao is alive, or inherits the unification, wouldn't it be ...... My Great Zhou was vacated for a bird, and the unification was stolen by others? It's really a sweat. Fortunately, God bless me Da Zhou, Guo Hao died early, no

There are serious consequences. This one...... The old minister's suggestion was...... The emperor still thinks twice, Concubine Rong is the niece of the queen mother. If the emperor punishes Concubine Rong, how will the Queen Mother explain? Although Concubine Rong did commit the crime of bullying the king, she always had to consider the face of the Queen Mother. ”

Guo Chong shouted angrily: "I just take too much care of the Queen Mother's face, how dare Concubine Rong do this, there must be someone behind her to guide and support, I am very suspicious...... Smell a rat...... That's it, I can't tolerate this matter, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos is going on in the palace. Tell me, I will solve this matter, but I will never agree to go out with the slightest rumor outside. You will send the relevant people and other evidence to the palace, and I will verify it myself. ”

"Ministers obey the holy will." Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun, Wu Chunlai and others bowed loudly, bowed and retreated.

Guo Chong stood there in a daze with a pale face, although Qian Delu didn't look at the twists and turns, but he already knew some clues from Wu Chunlai's narrative, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out. But I saw Guo Chong walk to the moon flower bush and take the fold hanging on it to look at it again. After seeing it this time, although Guo Chong didn't get angry again, the clouds on his face became even thicker.

After pondering for a long time, Guo Chong spoke: "Qian Delu! ”

"The slave is here!" Chandlu hurriedly stepped forward.

"Spread my will, I will go to Rongxiu Palace for dinner tonight, so that Concubine Rong will prepare to take over." Guo Chong said coldly.

Qian Delu's body shook and said in a deep voice: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

……

In the evening, Lin Jue returned home with a tired body. Recently, in order to rectify the chaotic financial system of the Great Zhou, Lin Jue, Yang Xiu, Du Weijian and others have been busy and physically and mentally exhausted. But such days are fulfilling, and Lin Jue has not been as committed as he is now since he joined the company.

Today's affairs in the yamen are a little more idle, Du Weijian and Yang Xiu have no wives and concubines, so the two of them invited Lin Jue to go home to rest, and some trivial things will be done by them. Lin Jue was very relieved of the two of them, in fact, he had long hoped that Du Weijian and Yang Xiu could preside over specific affairs, and he would be happy to be the shopkeeper. It's just that many things require Lin Jue to participate in decision-making, so he has to be busy with it.

With a few retinues galloping across the long street, the light and shadow are dappled and brilliant under the early spring sunset, and the streets are full of people, a busy and prosperous scene. The people are seizing the last daylight to finish the day, and there is a scene of vigorous busyness everywhere.

Lin Jue was in a happy mood, rode his horse and galloped past, and soon returned to his mansion. Dismounted and handed over the reins for the servants to move away, Lin Jue walked quickly to the front hall. At this moment, Lin Hu rushed out of the hall, dressed as if he was going out.

"Oh, uncle, you're back, and I'm going to look for you in the yamen." Lin Hu saw Lin Jue walking in from the door quickly, and hurriedly ran to Lin Jue's side and shouted.

Lin Jue handed the horsewhip to him and said with a smile: "What? What are you going to do with me? ”

Lin Hu pointed to the hall and said, "Someone has come to the palace." ”

Lin Jue was stunned and stopped: "Who is here?" ”

Lin Hu said in a low voice: "It's the father-in-law Qian next to the emperor." ”

Lin Jue was taken aback, Qian Delu personally went out, this matter must be not small. At the moment, he hurriedly hurried to the front of the hall and went up the steps in three steps and two steps

Entered the door. Sure enough, in the hall, Qian Delu was sitting at the table with a sad face, and there were two small chamberlains standing beside him.

"Oh, Father-in-law Qian, what kind of wind blew you here? It's rude, I've just come back from the yamen. Lin Jue stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand.

Qian Delu's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Jue, and he hurriedly got up and smiled: "Oh, I'm back." Hurry up and pack up and go into the palace with us. The emperor wants to see you. I regret that I didn't go directly to the Sansi Yamen to find you. ”

Lin Jue was stunned: "What? What's wrong? What does the emperor want to see me? ”

Qian Delu paused and smiled: "It's nothing, the emperor said that he hasn't spoken to you alone for a long time." No, I summoned you to the palace to accompany you to dinner and talk to you. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Accompany the emperor to dinner?" ”

"Oh, don't rub it off, hurry up and follow me into the palace. By the way, you take your side room Green Dance into the palace to wait. Chandlu said.

Lin Jue was stunned again and said, "Do you want to take someone to serve?" ”

"Huh? Look at what you said. I'm afraid that you haven't dined with the emperor, and the ministers have to bring the people around you to serve the emperor. You have entered the palace in the side room, and you are familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and you take her with you, and you will save time to teach etiquette. That's it, go and call her, don't delay the time, the emperor is waiting. Chandlu urged.

Lin Jue was shocked in his heart and felt that there was something strange. The emperor patted Qian Delu to summon him to the palace to accompany him to dinner, which was nothing wrong. The emperor often did this to show his intimacy and trust with his courtiers, which was nothing more than a means to get closer to each other. Although Lin Jue had never heard of the rule that he had to bring someone to serve when he accompanied the meal, this was actually nothing, maybe this was the rule of eating in the palace. But the problem is that although Qian Delu seems to be unintentional, he clearly asks him to bring Green Dance into the palace by name, which is what makes Lin Jue feel strange.

Lin Jue had to be vigilant, he was originally avoiding the meeting between Green Dance and Guo Chong, because Lin Jue was worried that the similar appearance of Green Dance and Concubine Rong would cause some unnecessary trouble. Green Dance's identity must not be revealed, because it holds a shocking secret. If this secret is revealed, it will be another storm. This has always been a point of concern for Lin Jue.

The reason why Qian Delu asked Green Dance to accompany him into the palace is actually very far-fetched. Since he became the third envoy, the status of his wife and concubine has also been greatly improved. For the families of important officials of the imperial court, the palace has already sent several professors of etiquette, which is the rule of the imperial court. Because the family members of the official have the obligation to enter the palace to accompany the harem concubines. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the emperor and the officials is a man's interaction, and the harem concubines and the family members of the officials are women's interactions, all of which have one purpose, that is, to have a close relationship and get closer. What's more, Lin Jue can also be regarded as having a touch with the royal family, and he has to bring his family to the royal family when he gathers on important occasions. Therefore, this kind of etiquette training is essential. It's obviously a bit far-fetched to say that Green Dance understands etiquette.

In order to prove that his doubts were not cranky, Lin Jue decided to test it.

"Father-in-law Qian, my little concubine Lu Wu has been unwell recently, can I change to another side room to serve in the palace? In terms of etiquette, please rest assured, everyone in the palace has been taught, and there is no difference in the pool. Lin Jue looked at Qian Delu's face and said softly.
