Since Da Chai Rong was seriously ill, the concubines took turns to serve his diet and daily life. In this way, it is all the love of husband and wife, and secondly, it is also to have a backbone character on the scene when Chai Rong really has something, and arrange all kinds of aftermath matters, so as to avoid chaos in the situation. And today happened to be Lin Xiaoyu in charge of serving Chai Rong's daily life, and when he saw that it was getting late, he came over to have dinner with Chai Rong - if it wasn't for Chai Rong's previous performance to be approved, Lin Xiaoyu would have waited by his husband's side all day.

Considering that the matter of Wei Wei is very important, before figuring out the key and thinking about how to deal with it, Chai Rong actually does not want this matter to be known. Therefore, when he heard that his beloved concubine came to accompany him to dinner, Chai Rong put the black wooden card back into the cloth bag and received it under the pillow, so he ordered Xuanlin Xiaoyu to enter the hall.

Because of his illness and the fact that he was worried about the matter of Wei Wei in his heart, Chai Rong did not have any appetite at this time, and he stopped eating after a few bites of a meal. Seeing that her husband was eating a lot less than usual, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little worried—after all, for a person who is sick, getting worse and worse appetite often means getting sicker and sicker. Therefore, Lin Xiaoyu also hurriedly put the chopsticks on the table, and asked Chai Rong with concern if he was too tired when he reviewed the folds in the afternoon, and whether he needed to send the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

Although Chai Rong knew very well that his loss of appetite today was neither because of the tiredness of the review, nor because of the impact of the aggravation of his illness, but completely because of the small black wooden card. But this reason can't be told to Lin Xiaoyu, so Chai Rong can only prevaricate on the grounds that he is a little tired from reviewing the folds. It's just that Chai Rong is perfunctory here, but Lin Xiaoyu is serious. On the one hand, she personally stepped forward to call for Chai Rong, and on the other hand, she wanted to instruct the eunuchs serving in the palace to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask the imperial doctor on duty to come and consult with her.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's concern and nervousness, Chai Rong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Of course, this is not to say that the other concubines are not nervous and concerned about Chai Rong's condition. It's just that as far as Chai Rong's feelings are concerned, other people's concerns and nervousness are more because of their own identities, because as the emperor's concubines, they must show such concern and nervousness when the emperor is seriously ill, otherwise they are disloyal, unjust, disrespectful, and contrary to women's morality. In addition, for those concubines who have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, the fear of losing their support and foundation with their death is also a reason for their nervousness. But none of these factors exist for Lin Xiaoyu. On the one hand, she has a prince who was named the Duke of Yan Guo by herself not long ago, and she will never be old and helpless in the future. On the other hand, she has a group of powerful brothers and sisters who are in fact divided, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, she will not dare to embarrass her, a concubine who has strong Austrian aid outside the court.

Moreover, in terms of affection alone, although Lin Xiaoyu entered the palace late--the concubines in ** have been in the palace for a long time, except for the Empress Xiaofu who has only been established for a short time, they can be called the concubines who are second only to the late Empress Fu, and the most affectionate and sincere concubine with Chai Rong. After all, unlike other concubines who basically marry through political marriages or admiration, and before they get married, the two sides basically have no chance to meet, Lin Xiaoyu had a long time of contact with Chai Rong as a princess doctor before becoming a concubine, and they knew each other a lot, and then fell in love, so one wanted to marry and the other wanted to marry came together. Therefore, among the ** concubines, Chai Rong and Lin Xiaoyu can talk the most, and they are most willing to talk to this and the only concubine who treats herself as a husband more than an official.

In addition, the matter of this "Black Wood Confession" is too important, once the prophecy comes true, it will endanger the continuation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the lives of his wife and children, he must be cautious and cautious when dealing with it, and there must be no mistakes. At this time, it is also a good choice if someone you can trust to refer to and come up with ideas for yourself. Therefore, after some weighing and consideration, Chai Rong stopped the eunuch who was about to go to find the imperial doctor, and asked all the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the palace to go out, while signaling Lin Xiaoyu that there was no need to worry, his illness had not changed, but there were some things to discuss with him. Seeing that what Chai Rong said was undoubted, Lin Xiaoyu realized that what Chai Rong was going to say to him was probably a big deal, so he no longer insisted on finding a doctor, but sat up straight and waited for Chai Rong to speak.

After all the eunuchs and palace maids had left the dormitory and were silent for a while, Chai Rong took out the bag containing "Black Wood Proverbs" from under the pillow, handed it to Lin Xiaoyu, and said, "Concubine Ai, let's take a look at the contents of the bag first." ”

Seeing that Chai Rong said solemnly, Lin Xiaoyu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the cloth bag respectfully with both hands, opened it carefully, and took out the wooden card inside to watch.

Although the black wooden plaque is written with seal characters, Lin Xiaoyu, who has made up a lot of knowledge of ancient characters since he crossed over, especially after entering the palace, still understood the meaning of the words on the wooden plaque at a glance, and immediately linked it with the story about Chai Rong's dismissal of Zhang Yongde because of his words when he was in a lecture on the popularization of historical knowledge, and realized why his husband was so solemn that he wanted to talk about something with him. And he also roughly guessed the purpose of the other party telling himself such a confidential matter - his husband had not yet decided whether to use the words of the Wei Wei as the basis to make the necessary disposition of the object he thought might be fulfilled, so as to maintain the stability of the Chai family's imperial power. The reason why he revealed this matter to himself was probably because he hoped to give him an excuse or "step" to make up his mind through his own views on this matter.

However, although he guessed Chai Rong's thoughts, Lin Xiaoyu knew that all dynasties were very disgusted and wary of ** politics, so after carefully examining it, he returned the black wooden card to Chai Rong and said: "If the concubine is not mistaken, what is written on this black wooden card is the five words 'check to be the Son of Heaven'." In this way, this black wood sign should be a thing of wisdom. It's just that its appearance seems to be quite old, but I don't know which dynasty and which generation it should be? ”

Chai Rong shook his head when he heard this, and explained: "The so-called 'prophecy' refers to those omens and prophecies that are about to be fulfilled. Therefore, although this black wooden plaque seems to be very old, I don't know that it has existed for hundreds or thousands of years, but since it was discovered in this dynasty, then its prediction is naturally the major event that will happen in this dynasty and this generation. ”

"If it is according to what the official family said, isn't it that someone is plotting against me and intends to be unfavorable to my Great Zhou?" Lin Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised and said.

"Yes, if you follow the proverb written on this black wooden plaque, in the near future, there will be a person in a high position, in charge of the power of the forbidden army, and the official worship hall is all inspected, and he will seek to usurp the throne and invade my Great Zhou Dynasty." Chai Rong nodded and said with a serious face.

"This matter is related to the safety of the Great Zhou Guozuo and the world, and the officials should also make preparations as early as possible to cope with this change that may occur soon." Lin Xiaoyu pretended to be anxious and said.

"It's nature. It's just that, as Concubine Ai said, this matter is very important, and it needs to be carefully considered. Therefore, I told my concubine about this matter, hoping that my concubine could work with me to come up with a foolproof plan, which would not only protect my great Zhou for thousands of generations, but also not cause panic and uneasiness among the ministers of the DPRK and China, so as to affect the stability of the court situation. Chai Rong replied.

"Such a military event, how can a concubine and a woman put their beaks in it." Lin Xiaoyu excused himself, "Not to mention that the concubines cannot be compared with the civil and military generals in the court, let alone with the official family, whether they are qualified or capable." Even if the concubines are full of wealth and wisdom, how dare they influence the judgment and decision-making of the official family in the government and make stupid things like '** interference' that violates the law and violates the ancestral teachings? ”

"Concubine Ai is too modest." Chai Rong waved his hand and said, "I want to love the concubine to return from overseas, whether it is knowledge or knowledge, it is very comparable." It is said that those ordinary women, but I am afraid that many civil and military generals in the court are far from being able to catch up, and I think I will have unique opinions on this 'Black Wood Wing' thing. Besides, there are only you and I here, and no matter what you say, it will not be spread to the outside court, and the ministers in the court will not have any complaints about the concubine. Besides, this time I want to say to my concubine, and you are only acting according to orders, and you have nothing to do with the law and ancestral teachings. ”

"That being the case, the concubine dared to say a word." Lin Xiaoyu saw that the time was ripe, so he immediately agreed.
