"This-" Gao Ping was puzzled for a while: "The princess also knows that the emperor has rested in peace." "I have seen a lot of officials, and this Lord Lin is the best, others wait for the emperor to eat and drink enough to summon him, but Lord Lin wants to pull the emperor up from the bed.

"I'm going to go when I'm resting." Lin Wanrong sighed deeply: "This matter is choked in my heart, if I don't ask clearly, it will be difficult for me to be at peace in my heart." Father-in-law Gao, don't worry, I have something to bear, and if the emperor wants to blame, blame me. ”

Give Gao Ping ten guts, he didn't dare to disturb the emperor's dreams, but after seeing the full martial arts that Lord Lin had just staged, he also knew that this was not a good bird, and if he didn't say a word, he might have to suffer a beating of the overlord fist. For a while, neither advance nor retreat made him embarrassed.

"Xianggong, you still have to see your father so late at night, is there anything urgent?" Qin Xian'er said softly.

"It's a very important thing." Lin Wanrong nodded solemnly, in front of Xian'er's little vinegar jar, he couldn't explain what was going on, otherwise, who knew what this girl would make trouble out of.

Qin Xian'er nodded, looked at Gao Ping and said, "You go to see if your father is asleep, just say that I will accompany Xianggong later." ”

Seeing that Princess Nishang spoke, Gao Ping had no choice but to take the order, Qin Xian'er glanced at Lin Wanrong and pouted: "Xianggong, do you want to ask about that fox girl?" ”

"Can you not answer this?" Lin Wanrong smiled, if you want to say that Xian'er, this little girl, is really not ordinary shrewd, and she can't hide anything.

"If you want to ask, just ask, I can stop you. I already knew that you couldn't let go of that fox girl. Qin Xian'er pouted.

Having trouble giving up old love? When will I give up? This girl really knows how to use words! Lin Wanrong laughed, hugged her small waist and said, "Don't worry, I will carry water with a flat pole, and the two sides will be flat." Alas, it is not easy for me to take care of you. ，

Xian'er smiled sweetly, tightened the little hand around his arm, and sighed faintly: "Xianggong, in fact, according to my meaning, I just want to live a good life with you, and then honor my father, and I am not interested in being a princess." ”

"Then why did you change your mind?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.

"The master is right. Xianggong, you are a talent of the past and the present. It would be a pity if it was buried in the people. I have such an identity, and my father loves me so much, as long as you want to do it. There is nothing in this world that you can't do, not to mention that my father likes you so much. Qin Xian'er's eyes flashed with colorful light, and she looked at him firmly, her face full of attachment and trust.

It can't be that the old man said something to Xian'er again, right? Alas, the heart of covetousness does not die. You can't be too good! Lin Wanrong put away the scroll, hugged Xian'er and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard - let's work together." Give birth to more than a dozen dolls for him, and let the old man hold one every day, hehe! ”

Qin Xian'er's face was red, she hid in his arms and didn't dare to come out, and snorted softly: "Nonsense, my mother only gave birth to one of me in her life, and I have two with my husband." ”

The two of them were groping and scratching, but they saw Gao Ping hurriedly walking out, looked at Lin Wanrong and said, "Lord Lin." The emperor said he was asleep. ”

There is a level to this, is it fooling me or fooling you? Lin Wanrong smiled: "This is the emperor's original words?!" ”

Gao Ping nodded and said, "That's the original word." His old man asked me to pass on the word that he was asleep, and if there was anything wrong with Lord Ruolin, he would ask to see him tomorrow. ”

Just did something for him, he didn't recognize anyone in the blink of an eye, this old man's face turned really fast, Lin Wanrong was about to pull Xian'er in, and Gao Ping said again: "The emperor also said that the matter of trespassing in the forbidden palace will not be investigated, if you have a heart, remember these three words - fold Baoding!" ”

Folded Treasure ?!! What do you mean? Lin Wanrong glanced at Gao Ping suspiciously: "Did the emperor say anything?" Gao Gonggong, you have to finish the words at once! ”

Gao Ping smiled bitterly and bowed: "My lord, the emperor's dictation is these, I don't dare to leave a word, and I have completely conveyed it to you." The meaning of this, the minion does not understand anything. ”

Seeing Gao Ping's face, Lin Wanrong knew that the old emperor would not see him tonight, since he even knew about my trespassing in the forbidden land, then his words were naturally sensitive. It's just that the three words "folding Baoding" are coldly said, how to explain this? Could it be related to Qingxuan? said it so vaguely, the old man turned out to be a master of riddles.

He pondered hard, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of these three words, thinking that even if he forced himself to break in to see the emperor, with the old man's character, he would not be able to explain the dumb riddle that should be played. I saw Qingxuan's message tonight, I was very excited, but I thought that maybe because of a small dumb riddle, I and Qingxuan couldn't meet even if we were close by, and I couldn't tell the unspeakable depression in my heart, and I couldn't sleep after turning and turning, and I spent the night in anxiety and meditation, and even the things I met in Dongying people in the back mountain today, I forgot to tell the emperor.

He went to the audience early the next morning, but was stopped by Gao Ping with a sad face, he glanced around, and then said cautiously: "Lord Lin, you are not an outsider, the old slave will tell the truth, now the imperial doctors are waiting inside, the emperor is furious, and he has already dragged out and beheaded three." ”

Chopped three? Could it be because of the injuries sustained yesterday's assassination? But Xian'er went back to Xiangguo Temple this morning, her wish to marry her mother has not yet been completed, and she didn't hear her say that the old man's condition has deteriorated when she left! Thinking of what I discussed with Xu Wei and Li Tai yesterday, I have some understanding in my heart, this is to capture the old law, and the old man is also well versed in it!

Lin Wanrong remembered what she had told Ning Yuxi to do yesterday, and she didn't know if she had passed on the words, so she was a little worried in her heart, but thinking that the old emperor might know Qingxuan's whereabouts, but he deliberately made some mysteries, which was really not interesting, so he didn't bother to care about the affairs of the Dongying people, and let them assassinate them again.

When I came out of the palace, I saw Xu Wei guarding the door with a ghostly head, looking very weird. Lin Wanrong tiptoed over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, Xu Wei was startled, turned around and saw that it was him, and suddenly let out a long breath: "Little Brother Lin, you finally came out." ”

What do you mean I'm finally out? Lord Lin, I didn't enter the number, he grinned and said, "How do you say this?" Mr. Xu, didn't you still see you last morning? ”

Xu Wei pulled him aside, looked him up and down carefully, and looked around vigilantly a few times before nodding and saying, "It's okay, it's okay." The emperor summoned you yesterday, but I didn't hear from you until this morning, Miss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were worried about you, so they asked me several times, and Miss Qiaoqiao was even more anxious and didn't know what to do. ”

This is negligent, yesterday I was bent on helping Xian'er's father and daughter reunite, and then I met Uncle Wei again, and when I saw the picture scroll left by Qingxuan, I was surprised and lost, but I didn't have time to think of the eldest lady and Qiaoqiao, Lin Wanrong felt ashamed, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Xu, are they all right?!" ”

"It's fine!" Xu Wei shook his head and said meaningfully: "You don't know, now the Xiao family has palace guards secretly protecting them, and nothing can happen." But you, who went to see the emperor yesterday, made the old man worry a lot. ”

Lin Wanrong is also a shrewd person, and he naturally understands the meaning of Xu Wei's words, the assassination of the emperor yesterday is a big deal, but at the most critical juncture, the emperor summoned Lin Wanrong to meet him, either good luck or big murder. When others saw the emperor, they all came out with tea, but he didn't have a trace for a day and a night, and an old slippery head like Xu Wei could naturally smell something unusual from it.

Lin Wanrong hugged her fists gratefully, with an extremely complicated expression on her face, talking about yesterday's experience, she still feels frightened, and she doesn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while. However, Lao Xu was able to care so much, but he was quite righteous, which made him feel a little moved.

"There is one more thing," Xu Wei frowned, his face was full of worry, and he glanced at him and said, "I don't know how to tell you to my little brother." ”

Lin Wanrong had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Oh, my brother Xu, when has this happened, what are you still modest, just say it if you have something to say." ”

Xu Wei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't say it, it's that I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold your breath if you say it." Do you know that Li Tai's army will set off in more than 20 days, right? ”

"This is not only me, but everyone in Dahua knows about it." Lin Wanrong waved her hand impatiently: "Brother Xu, talk about the point, talk about the point!" ”

"The reason why Li Tai's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers have dragged on until now is because the salary and silver needed for the war have not yet been gathered, and the most important batch of silver, grain, and grass, the number of which is 350,000, is from Jiangnan." Xu Wei glanced at him and said slowly.

"What's wrong with Jiangnan? The money is all together. Lin Wanrong said with a smile, he remembered Luo Min's tax on the Qinglou in Jinling, and as soon as the man's belt was loosened, he had everything.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, which was collected in addition to the silver paid to the treasury, was to be escorted into Beijing, but on the way—" Xu Wei shook his head and sighed.

"Something's wrong?" Lin Wanrong was taken aback.

Xu Wei nodded gloomily: "Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, escorted by five thousand elite soldiers, but there was a mutiny in Shandong, and overnight, three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, along with five thousand men and horses, disappeared without a trace." ”
