When Lin Xuan was about to chase out, he saw a few people appear at the door, two of them were holding Yueyue and Aunt Liu, he breathed a sigh of relief, he knew these people, although they were not very familiar, but they all had a relationship, they were Zhao Ling's people.

One of them walked up to Lin Xuan and said, "Your whereabouts have been exposed, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's change places!" The carriage outside is ready! ”

Lin Xuan nodded, thanking Zhao Ling for thinking about him thoughtfully, and went upstairs to pick up Yueyue.

The two were left to deal with the rest of the mess, and the rest got into the carriage and changed places.

It was almost dawn when the carriage stopped outside a manor, and the man in the power suit jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain and said, "It's safe here, you can stay for a while!" ”

Lin Xuan woke up Yueyue, who was sleeping on his lap, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Yueyue nodded: "I'm fine, I don't know if my aunt and Ruoruo can wake up?" ”

"I just woke up!" The man in the suit said, "After a night's journey, Madame is lucky, go eat something first, and take a rest!" ”

Yueyue immediately got out of the car to visit Ruoruo and the sixth aunt, and the three of them talked for a while with tears in their eyes before they went inside to eat something and rest.

And the man in the strong suit called Lin Xuan aside, and said with a little apology: "We also received the news just now, Lord Lin died of illness on the way back to Beijing!" ”

Lin Xuan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he was silent for a moment and asked, "My father's health has always been good, how could he suddenly get sick?" What is it that kills people in just a few days? ”

"It is said to be a plague, that is, the plague in Wuzhou!"

"Impossible! Even if you are infected with the plague, it will take at least a month before and after to kill people, and it won't be so fast, there must be fraud in it! Lin Xuan's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"We all know that there is fraud, but right now, in order to prevent the spread of the plague in the capital, Lord Lin's body was burned after a false examination, and now there is no evidence to prove that Lord Lin's death was strange or murdered!" The man said, "Also, now that the imperial court has begun to want the three of you, you must find a place to hide as soon as possible, and try not to show your face!" ”

"If you and Yueyue need a safe hiding place, but you have to rush back to the capital to investigate everything, I can't let my father's death be unknown!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Shizi expects that your temperament will be like this, he has prepared a safe place, and he will also send a brother to protect the safety of Madame and Miss!" The man sighed softly, "The prince will be waiting for you in the capital!" ”

"Thankfully!"

If she wanted to see her father, how could Lin Xuan dare to tell her the news that her father had passed away at this time? She had already had too much to bear, and she needed to take a break.

After a few people slowed down a little in this manor, they immediately set off to the hiding place that Zhao Ling had prepared.

After Lin Xuan determined the terrain and safety of this place with his own eyes, he said goodbye to Ruoruo and Yueyue, and resolutely rushed to the capital.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Emperor Zhou looked at the piece handed over by Zhao Yan, his brows furrowed slightly, and then slowly unfolded, raised his eyes to look at his son, and the corners of his mouth rarely raised a smile of appreciation: "Good job!" ”

"Thank you for your father's praise!" Zhao Yan hugged his fists and said, "Erchen did what he had to do!" ”

Regarding the outbreak of rumors in the capital, Zhao Yan arrested the main messenger who spread the rumors in a very short period of time, but although more than a dozen people were arrested, they did not find their connection with the eldest grandson's family, and there was no contact at all, and the eldest grandson's family left themselves clean.

No one stopped the discussion and dissemination of some true and false news about the Bai family and the former prince, plus the news of Lin Zhiyuan's sudden death has been discussed on a large scale, and the original voices have been extremely small.

"You really didn't disappoint me, you are my most outstanding prince!" Emperor Zhou said lightly.

Zhao Yan's was not slight, and Zhao Ye's brows on the side were also furrowed.

"Erchen is ashamed!" Zhao Yan hugged his fists.

Emperor Zhou put down the fold, glanced at Zhao Yan and asked: "You have also investigated the matter this time for a long time, and you have heard a lot of true and false news about the things of the past, I don't know what you think of the things of the year?" ”

The corners of Zhao Ye's mouth slightly provoked a sneer, turned his head to look at Zhao Yan's face, and then turned his head, his eyes were very cold.

Zhao Yan was slightly silent and said: "Back then, Erchen was still young and didn't know the inside story, but although some people deliberately provoked the events of the year this time, why did so many people believe it?" Regarding the truth or falsehood of what happened back then, it has been difficult for Erchen to explain for a long time, but Erchen thinks that since so many people believe that the imperial brother and the Bai family are innocent, does it mean that the explanation given to everyone back then was not convincing? ”

"Second brother, you still need to be cautious when you speak!" Zhao Ye said coldly, "Although the younger brother has only heard about the things back then, he also knows that this matter was personally investigated by his father, does the second brother mean that his father did not handle it properly?" ”

"I'm not a saint, and there will inevitably be mistakes!" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "Second brother, you continue to talk about it, if you are allowed to continue to deal with this matter, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Ye's face became embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute Emperor Zhou's meaning, but he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, his father's partiality was too obvious, was it intentional to the second brother or did he have other plans?

"Re-investigate the events of the year!" Zhao Yan was silent for a short time and then said loudly, "If the imperial brother and the Bai family deserve it, so that the people of the world know this fact, this is also the fundamental strategy to prevent such doubts and rumors from happening again in the future, if the imperial brother and the Bai family are wronged, they must also be returned to their innocence and severely punished those who framed them!" ”

"Framed?" Zhao Ye sneered, "The imperial brother was the crown prince back then, and the Bai family also had heavy troops, who had the courage to frame them?" Second brother, there is something in the words! ”

"I'm just talking about one situation!" Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Ye lightly, and continued, "Now there are still so many people in the people who firmly believe that the Bai family and the imperial brother are innocent, there must be some evidence that cannot convince the public, at this time, if you can thoroughly investigate the events of the year and let all the truth be revealed to the world, isn't this the best way to completely solve this matter?" Do we need to come out every once in a while to refute the rumors? ”

"The most radical way should be to disappear all the people involved in this year, what do the people want? What they want is not the truth, they live in peace and contentment, they are blind, they are stupid, they are easy to be instigated, and they are easy to forget, as long as there is nothing in this world that provokes their memories, some of their things can disappear forever! Zhao Ye said in a cold voice, "If the purpose of the second brother is just to solve some of the problems left over from ten years ago once and for all, you might as well get rid of the people in the whirlpool back then, this is the way to solve this matter forever!" ”

He looked at Zhao Yan and smiled even more sarcastically: "I'm just afraid that the second brother will be reluctant, and I'm even more afraid that the second brother will fake the public and help the private interest!" Although my father is not a saint, he is only a saint in our hearts, in the hearts of the courtiers, and in the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the saint will not make mistakes, and the authority of the saint is unquestionable, so since the matter of the year has been settled, there is no need to mention it now, as for the second brother, you said to re-investigate thoroughly, in my younger brother's opinion, it is completely unnecessary! ”

"Of course you have your opinion, I have my opinion, I don't necessarily need you to agree with my opinion, because the person who makes the final decision is the father!" Zhao Yan said, "It is true that now except for all the personnel related to the past, the truth can be covered up, but how will the history books talk about this matter in the future?" All that remains is a cluster of doubts! My father's life is above board, do you want to be criticized and speculated on this matter? Since there are doubts, the doubts should be removed, and don't leave room for random speculation! ”

"Covering up the truth?" Zhao Yan sneered, "Since you don't know what happened back then, second brother, what the truth is, why do you talk as if what happened back then was a frame-up......

"You two stop arguing!" Emperor Zhou frowned and said, "I'll think about this matter again!" ”

While speaking, Chang Dan reported inside: "Your Majesty, the queen mother and the concubine have sent people to invite them several times, and this show girl has arrived, just waiting for Your Majesty to take a look!" ”

"Got it!" Emperor Zhou got up and said, "You two kneel down!" ”

"Yes!"

Emperor Zhou got up and went to the Imperial Garden, the weather at the end of March was warm, and the Imperial Garden was also full of flowers, he faintly heard the laughter of some young girls, and his mood couldn't help but open up.

The willow branches flickered, the two girls danced and frolicked among the flowers like two colorful butterflies, and the girl who ran in front only looked back at the person chasing her behind, did not pay attention to the front, and suddenly bumped into Emperor Zhou's arms.

She blinked and innocently asked, "Who are you?" ”

Chang Shan immediately scolded: "Bold, this is Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh my God! See Your Majesty! The girl was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, along with the others who were playing with her.

"Raise your head!" Emperor Zhou said lightly.

The girl raised her eyes timidly, stared at Emperor Zhou's eyes curiously, bit her lip lightly and said: "The courtiers are ignorant and reckless, and they have disturbed Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Zhou's heart was shaken by his presumptuousness, this appearance, this demeanor, how similar to her back then! He thought he had forgotten her, that her smile had not disappeared from his heart for a moment!

"What's your name?" Emperor Zhou asked softly.

"Courtiers and daughters!"
