On the night that Lin Yuebai and his entourage left, Wang Xiang specially took Lu Tao and Xuannu into the Nanguo Mansion together, saying that Lu Tao had made some good hometown dishes, and specially came to ask His Royal Highness to taste one or two, accompanied by his eldest daughter Wang Miaoxi, who he specially brought. Yao Jin's favorite eldest daughter of the Wang family, looks like a pink carved jade, big black eyes, red mouth, round and cute, seeing her twisting her ass around her to ask for candy, she was busy letting the dining room take out all kinds of sugar cakes, and remembered a gold-inlaid jade collar that Zhao Sheng finally got a while ago, saying that it was a rare treasure, so she personally turned it out and put it on her. Xuannu looked at the fine workmanship of the collar, and the jade color on it was even more unusual, knowing that it was precious and abnormal, she hurriedly pulled La Lu Tao to kneel down and thank her, this family was busy kneeling, Xiao Miaoxi also followed the example when she saw it, and said in a milky voice, "Thank Your Highness for rewarding", that posture looked delicate and cute, and everyone talked and laughed for a while, and the Hehuan Building of Nanguo Mansion was lively all night.

Until the moonlight gradually deepened, Xiao Miaoxi also fell asleep in her mother's arms, Lu Tao was worried about the infant son at home, so she got up and retired with Wang Xiangxuan. When leaving, Wang Xiang seemed to be a little hesitant, walked to the dining hall, and looked back at Yao Jin, although he was still standing in the hall with a smile and watching them, but in the huge hall, she was the only one standing alone, with a faint detachment between her expressions, and the dumb maids and candlestick decorations seemed to be blurred, only she stood in the center in silver, like a white lotus that opened alone in the dark night, stubborn and sluggish. Wang Xiang felt a slight pain in his heart for some reason, and the soles of his feet paused, but after all, he and Lu Tao retreated. And Yao Jin's smile gradually disappeared on her face with the departure of the Wang family, although the dumb maid was still waiting by her side, everything was a familiar person, a familiar place, but Yao Jin only felt that there was a sudden silence between heaven and earth, and the silence was even a little terrifying.

She rubbed the corners of her eyes, she drank wine today, and she didn't feel a trace of sleep, remembering that before dinner, Zhao Xing had said that Xuanjitang had come to deliver news, so she went to the study, opened a bamboo tube sent by Xuanjitang and looked at it:

Li Yao in Beijing wants to establish Xiaoyuebai as the crown princess, and must clear his identity as the daughter of the Lin family's criminal ministers, and now he is planning to reopen the case of General Yuan Youzhang and try to rehabilitate the Yuan family. Because Lin Fengtai and Jiao Ran are both the old departments of the Yuan family, they have also collected a lot of evidence for the Yuan family for many years, if Li Yao can rehabilitate the Yuan family, the Lin family's merits may be offset or they can return to Beijing, and Lin Yuebai's innocent family background can also be restored. In recent months, the old people under General Yuan Youzhang, as long as they were still in the court and in Beijing, they all secretly contacted Li Yao one after another, among them, the Jiao family was the leader.

If the Yuan family is rehabilitated, Li Yao will be supported by the old Yuan family inside and outside the court, and some upright courtiers will also recognize him, then he will be able to stand more firmly in the court, plus the support of the Jungle State and the Mo family in the military, then he will not need to rely on the emperor for everything, and he can become a prince worthy of the name and power. It's just that the emperor has already been aware of this matter, and when Lin Yuebai returns to Beijing, the matter will definitely come to light, the emperor is most concerned about the control of the court situation, and he must have seen Li Yao's intentions clearly, and the things behind him may not be easy to do.

Yao Jin looked at the candle flame after reading this densely written small note, her face was solemn for a while, she slowly threw the note into the brazier, looking at the gray and black color that gradually appeared between the flames, thinking of Lin Yuebai and Wen Zihua, they didn't seem to want her to go to Lingjing. And all the things mentioned in the news of Xuanjitang today seem to have nothing to do with her, the situation in the capital is changing, some people want to turn the clouds and rain, some people want to check and balance the overall situation, but what does all this have to do with her Yao Jin? She obviously has no intention of going to Beijing, why do they all deliberately emphasize that they don't want her to go to Lingjing? What are they afraid of, or what are they worried about......

There seemed to be the sound of cicadas chirping in the distance, flickering long and breaking, flickering far and near, the bushes outside the door were shaken by a gust of night wind, making a rustling sound, and the shadows of the trees were swaying for a while, Yao Jin's heart was surging with a dark tide, and she asked silently to this seemingly calm night sky:

"Li Daoran, Xuanjitang has mastered the world's secrets, and you have always been clever, but why did you choose to let me know all the things in Beijing at this time, when Lin Yuebai had just left, are you afraid that I know that something big will happen in Beijing, and Yuebai is deeply involved, afraid that I will hinder her from returning to Beijing? But you have always loved Yuebai, and you have never wanted her to be in danger, why didn't you let me persuade her to stay this time? Over the years, you have exchanged news with me, and every time you mention anyone in your letters, but only a name or a title, you have never written 'General Yuan Youzhang' again and again in such a solemn manner; you said that the Lin and Jiao families were the old departments of the Yuan Sect, and they have been collecting evidence all these years to prove that the Yuan family did not rebel in those years, have you not always done this? Do you know that you, Li Daoran, were not Yuan Youzhang's best friends back then? Do you really think that I, Yao Jin, do you really think that I Yao Jin does not know about these things......

Yao Jin muttered and didn't move. Although she didn't move, the crystal beads on the jade crown on her head couldn't stop trembling slightly, just like her heart, her thoughts didn't stop, and the undercurrent didn't stop.

Mausoleum City, Imperial Palace, Seifukan.

It was in the afternoon, because Wei Nanyan didn't enter much during lunch, the dining room made rose cheese, Si Qing served one into the house, and saw Wei Nanyan sitting in front of the guqin in a daze, although his hands were on the strings, but he didn't move. She put down the cheese and walked to Wei Nanyan's side, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has handed over the news, and the Lin family has entered the Jiao Mansion and stayed. ”

"Oh, yes. Wei Nanyan gently plucked the strings and did not speak again. Si Qing saw that her face seemed to be displeased, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't worry too much, that Lin ...... It's just the daughter of a broken family. ”

Wei Nanyan was noncommittal, and sneered: "This palace won't care about her. But now that she has entered Beijing, we have to take care of the affairs in this palace. ”

"Yes. Si Qing paused for a moment and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would enter the palace to meet His Majesty in the evening, when does the lady plan to meet the queen?"

"I'll go tomorrow afternoon. ”

Si Qing was still not at ease in his heart, looked at Wei Nanyan and said, "Niangniang, if you are not happy, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values you and will take your words to heart. ”

Wei Nanyan shook his head and said: "No matter whether the palace is happy or not, everything that should be done must be done, and it must be done properly and without leakage." This palace and the prince have come to this day step by step, how much effort has been spent on planning, how many people have been involved in it, how can this palace be swayed by a little bit of the little daughter's selfishness now-what does she know about the Lin family? She has only been in the capital for a few days, how can she know how hard the prince has worked over the years, and how can she know how much I have experienced with the prince...... She doesn't know anything, but she is just a weak woman, an old person in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Si Qing rubbed Wei Nanyan's shoulders and said: "What Niangniang, the Wei family, and the Mo family have done for the prince is naturally thousands of times stronger than the Lin family, who doesn't know anything, but if I go to see the queen tomorrow, the queen will definitely not agree to the marriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, what can Niangniang think of?"

"If the crown prince is the queen's own son, then this palace really has to take some words," Wei Nanyan looked at the crimson Kodan on the slender jade finger, and smiled faintly, "It's a pity that the current prince is no longer Li Zheng, everyone just gives each other a face, if she is serious, then she will be the queen for so many years." ”
