Chapter 94: Death

Lin Qiantan stayed up all night, but she just repaired the screen. Embroidery is such a thing, the most taboo to break. Time is in a hurry, and no matter how much you make up for it, you can't make it up.

Jin He muttered, but he still picked out all the maids and women who were passable embroiderers in Yinping Pavilion for Lin Qiantan, and worked overtime overnight.

As the night passed, the whole room had dark circles under their eyes.

By the time of the next day, Lin Qiantan calculated that there was still an hour to sleep, so he put the things that he had barely made up to the side and lay down to rest.

Emperor Tianlong was not confused when he arrived and celebrated vigorously, which was very in line with his high-profile personality of great joy in the past. As if he was afraid that his subjects would be suspicious of his abilities.

Lin Qiantan rested in bed for less than an hour before she was called up to freshen up. The Lin family moved into the palace, and they already knew that Yin Wei, who stayed up late and worked overtime, how could she tell her to sleep more.

But when she really saw the finished screen, Yin Wei couldn't laugh.

She trained Lin Qiantan since she was a child, and she only knew how to be a female celebrity, but she didn't know how to be flexible, so she was going to nurture her. Besides, she sometimes makes small things for herself, and she does it better than the embroiderer.

She's just going to make do with it.

Unexpectedly, her embroidery skills have reached the realm of a grandmaster.

If she sent a good finished product to the palace, wouldn't it add to her fame?

Fortunately, in the middle of the screen, somehow a very obvious hole was broken. At first glance, it was repaired.

Yin Wei now understood why Lin Qiantan didn't sleep all night the night before yesterday.

If it weren't for her parents-in-law and mother-in-law, she would almost have to gloat and "poof" loudly. It's really God's eyes, so that this little slut can't become the climate.

The reaction of Shen Shi and the others was similar to Yin Wei's, and they were first amazed, and then frowned.

How can such a thing be sent to Emperor Tianlong's birthday.

Lin Qiantan had the intention to save Qiyun's life, and she never mentioned her name, only saying that she had no intention of breaking it, so she made a big hole. This is a good object, if it is not broken, but it is also broken, what can it be. It can only be prayed, and when it comes to the feast, no one looks closely, and cannot see the clues, and then find a way to cover up the past.

Yin Wei knew how to tell the people around her: "Go and ask Mama Gou to ask, before leaving the house, I want to know what is going on."

A little girl answered.

In this way, the screen was finally loaded into the car and sent to the palace. Shen was worried, but Lin Qiantan was not so worried.

also reminded the Shen family: "Why don't you ask the imperial concubine to help with this."

With the intervention of the imperial concubine, it is really easy to smooth out this matter.

Lin Qiantan said it in front of Yin Wei. The screen was broken, and she repaired it more to express an attitude, in fact, to solve this matter, just kick the ball back to Yin Wei.

Shen's eyes also lit up, looking at his daughter-in-law, Yin Wei raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Qiantan, and then looked at Shen again, and agreed to the matter with some reluctance.

The Lin family divided several carriages into the palace together. Along the way, the streets were filled with the atmosphere of celebrating the emperor's birthday. Lin Qiantan looked carefully, as if trying to find a trace of Yan Shao's movements from it.

To go from the Dongshan Marquis Mansion to the Imperial Palace, you have to pass through the Wei family. The Wei family was also about to set off, and the two families happened to go together.

The Dongshan Hou Mansion is just an upstart, and there is really no comparison with the old family Wei. The people of the family were all very skillfully ignored by the Wei family, and only the Shen family and Lin Qiantan were given some face.

Lin Yangde's hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, and his face was a little unbearable.

Lin Qiantan remembered that Lin Yangde also asked to marry the daughter of the Wei family when he was young.

It was a time of great news. The national policy of weakening the family with imperial power has continued since the end of the Xia Dynasty. The women of the family are devalued, and a lot of them marry low. Don't talk about others, let's just say that today's Chu Ling, the family he married, is just an ordinary family with a solid family.

Although the trend is here. But I can't help but say that the family style is indeed not comparable to an upstart like the Lin family, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Lin Qiantan was also on this part of the road, and met several of Wei Jiayin's cousins for the first time in this life.

For example, Wei Jiabin, the eldest son of the Wei family, is a dragon and phoenix among people who do not lose to Chu Jiang.

In contrast, the people on the Lin family's side, the best Lin Zirong is placed in the team of the Wei family, and they are a bit like the scholars of the Wei family.

The two families walked together to the gate of the palace, one after the other. The court was so strict that anyone who entered could not wear weapons. Lin Qiantan was also curious about how Yan Shao would take action.

Caichen Palace is the protagonist of the emperor's birthday on this day, and everyone is led by the leading eunuch to Caichen Palace. Lin Qiantan is no exception.

The screen and the screen came in closely behind Lin Qiantan, and they didn't raise their heads all the way, so they couldn't help but be restrained. They know they're here on a mission.

Lin Qiantan took advantage of no one's attention and said, "You are so nervous, if you don't make a mistake, you will make a mistake." When the gods fight, it will not be all mortals who will suffer. Besides, this immortal may not be able to fight.

*

Pedestrians on the palace road came and went, and on the pavilion halfway up the mountain behind the trees in the distance, there were two people who saw the scene below.

One of them was in a brocade robe and jade belt, looking like a rich son, and the word "Gu" on his belt was undoubtedly telling others his identity.

The other person, just by the noble color of his bright yellow body, already made people know who he was. The tall and sturdy body doesn't need to be distinguished, and it also makes people understand that he is Tianlong Emperor Yan Guang.

Looking at the Wei clansmen who happened to pass by, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously he was completely jealous of the Wei clan's people. As for the Dongshan Hou Mansion, it is not enough to call him concerned. Lin Yangde is quite obedient, and in the eyes of the emperor, he is a servant who can be used.

"San Lang thinks that the second son of Yan Guogong, how about it?" Emperor Tianlong didn't mention the Wei family, but he just pulled it to the Wang family.

The San Lang in Emperor Tianlong's mouth is Gu Xiaowei, the grandson of Prime Minister Gu Ping's mansion.

Gu Xiaowei knew that Emperor Tianlong cared about all the actions of his subordinates.

also knew that he was asking about the new second son, not the original one.

Wang Yuanzhao, the second son of the Wang family, and Wei Jiayin, the palm of the Wei family, were engaged to each other, shallow in and deep out, and only poked out the news when the matter was decided. Even Emperor Tianlong only knew about it one step too late.

The Wang family is considered to be Emperor Tianlong's right and left hand, and Emperor Tianlong will not want his left and right hands to hook up with someone he doesn't like.

Gu Xiaowei pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that this second prince has a very poor relationship with the people of the Wang family."

The relationship is poor, and he has just recognized it, which can somewhat dispel the emperor's suspicions.

Emperor Tianlong didn't speak again for a while, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

He thought that the assassin who stabbed him that day was also tall and strong like the second prince of Wang. There aren't many people like that.

Gu Xiaowei saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he also quietly respectfully beside him, thinking of the carrier pigeon that had just been released from the emperor's hand. If Gu Qingxuan was here and saw her brother, she probably wouldn't think that her brother was stupid for reading.

In the splendid pavilion, behind the emperor and Gu Jiazaburo, there was a row of hundreds of little eunuchs who were gagged and pressed to the ground. Behind them, the sword of the imperial guard, just waiting for the emperor's order, was about to fall.

After a while, Emperor Tianlong finally opened his mouth and praised Gu Xiaowei. Gu Xiaowei was still respectful, and he was not arrogant because of the merits he had established.

The third son of the Gu family, worthy of his name, only reads the books of sages.

He immersed himself in the table and studied the theories of a hundred schools, and he did indeed make great achievements. But few people know that the third prince and Emperor Tianlong have a private relationship, and the Gu family may not be favored by the emperor.

Gu Xiaowei, the most unexpected person, seems to be studying behind closed doors, but in fact, he quietly took people out of Beijing to investigate the whereabouts of Wang Yanshao of Dongping County some time ago.

once caught all of them, but because of one person, all the achievements were lost.

Now the emperor's suspicion swept over the man, and he intended to help cover it up.

Just thinking about it, Emperor Tianlong seemed to have no intention, and reached out to touch Gu Xiaowei's arm. There was a sword wound there, which was injured by the "thief" when Gu Xiaowei led people to arrest the thief.

The birthday banquet was about to start, but Emperor Tianlong looked at Aiqing's arm distressedly, Gu Xiaowei was good at martial arts, and he did not lose to the generals in the army, but he went with countless people, but he still returned in vain.

Emperor Tianlong's harem has countless concubines, but it does not prevent him from having a liking for good-looking men. The Langjun of the Gu family was very pleased with him, but it was a pity that the king was interested and the courtiers were ruthless.

Gu Xiaowei's attitude of refusal Emperor Tianlong was very accustomed to it, and the emperor didn't care, he smiled faintly and waved his sleeves lightly, as if venting the frustration of being rejected, and those who had listened to many emperor's secrets and were dying in an instant, all of them became headless corpses.

"Let's go, accompany me to the banquet. After a few moments, when the feast began, there was no such leisure. With that, Emperor Tianlong took a step forward first. A forty-year-old man may be at the most mellow age in his life, and he has a smell of years of precipitation when he walks.

Gu Xiaowei immediately followed, but before leaving completely, he glanced in the direction of the Wei family, who had already walked away. It looks like it's the Wei family, but it doesn't seem to be.

The people of Dongping County went to the empty building, and it was razed again, and it was rebuilt into a courtyard, and Emperor Tianlong rewarded it to the Gu family. Gu Xiaowei entered the palace to thank him, but he also had no intention of breaking through the sneakiness of a few little eunuchs, so he picked up the nails left in the palace by the king of Dongping County.

He made great contributions one after another, and Emperor Tianlong wanted to ask him to officially become an official, but unfortunately he refused again.

Compared with Emperor Tianlong's luck, Yan Shao's side was not so lucky.

*

On the eve of the birthday banquet, the entry and exit of people in the palace were complicated. Managers should be more cautious. But vice versa, it's not surprising that a few dissident minions have been successfully infiltrated in the imperial dining room.

In the assassination of Mulan Enclosure, Yan Shao used the way on the surface, so at the birthday banquet, he used more yin tricks.

The food eaten by the emperor and his ministers was filled with poison that could not be detected by a silver needle, and the eunuchs with bad intentions walking on the birthday banquet were all equipped with hidden weapons, and even the palace door that could lead directly to Caichen Palace had been opened for Yan Shao.

If it weren't for these being seen through by Gu Sanlang in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yan Shao himself even lurked into the inn near the palace to personally command, but he met such a careful person as Gu Xiaowei, and he failed.

While they were talking, the two gentlemen and ministers didn't look at the heads on the ground that were still sprayed with blood one after another, and walked towards the place where the birthday banquet was.

The guests were almost there, and the birthday banquet venue was crowded. Emperor Tianlong came to the inner room of Caichen Palace, looking out through the window, and it was already very lively outside.

Before the emperor arrived, everyone was already talking to themselves. The banquet was hot, and the imperial guards with cold blades on their waists quietly left the palace when no one else was paying attention, and they were surrounding someone with more fights and less.

Yan Shao was chased and fled by the pursuers arranged by Emperor Tianlong, and before he could run out of the encirclement, he began to plan his next operation. It doesn't work out once, it doesn't work out twice, it's a big deal to do it again.

But the men he had arranged in advance to pick up the people did not appear in the place he thought they were.

What Wang Yuanzhao is unwilling to do, others will do. There are still individual capable people under Yan Shao. If it is said that the soldiers and horses that should have appeared after taking the talisman did not appear in the city gate tower, it only shows that there is something wrong in it.

Yan Shao's plan failed again, and he didn't wait for the soldiers and horses to support, so he could only fight and retreat, and save himself first. He couldn't rush out of the city gate, so he managed to squeeze into the alleys that extended in all directions. The imperial guards were not vegetarians either, and chased him all the way into the alleys with twists and turns.

*

The birthday banquet in the palace is extremely lively.

The chaos that Lin Qiantan had guessed did not appear, and she was not embarrassed by a screen.

But the person who helped her was not the imperial concubine Yin Qiang, but the concubine Xiao.

Everyone didn't have the chance to see the beautiful screen that has gone viral in the market recently. Just because of Concubine Xiao's words, Emperor Tianlong didn't even look at it, so he moved the screen that was not lifted up directly to her bedroom.

Seeing this, everyone bowed their heads one after another, sighing that the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Xiao was really extraordinary.

Concubine Xiao herself seemed to not know what she had done in public, as if nothing had happened, she drank three rounds and called a group of noble girls to accompany her to the lake. Among them, including Lin Qiantan.

This princess at the end of the previous dynasty, in order to save her life, but also to protect the widow of the horse in her belly, she had to put down the dignity of the princess, and curry favor with many new dynasty magnates to survive, and became the object of wanton ridicule by everyone. Emperor Tianlong is just one of them.

In the troubled times, women have the helplessness of women, and Concubine Xiao has a bad reputation, but her character is actually good. If it weren't for that, Chu Ling wouldn't have had a relationship with her.

And back then, among the ministers under her skirt, there was also the abolished prince Yan Yong.

*

Yan Shao personally led people and the imperial guards to fight in the alley, and they were outnumbered after all. He was afraid that it would not be easy to leave, and he almost fought to the death, and it was his subordinates who pulled him to desperately fight for a breakthrough. When he was about to leave, he ran out again.

Wang Yuanzhao sat on the banquet, in a bad mood. He couldn't tell where the anxiety in his heart came from.

He knew that the king of Dongping County would make some moves at the birthday banquet, but he waited left and right, and no one came. There are some worries in my heart, and I am a little absent-minded.

Emperor Tianlong sat at the top, dealing with the courtship of the ministers. What made the ministers a little puzzled was why the person sitting next to the emperor was not any mother, but the son of the prime minister's mansion, Gu Xiaowei.

Gu Qingxuan was also puzzled, why did her brother sit with the emperor.

Gu Xiaowei said that he was not as good as Longyang, but the person who was interested in him was the emperor who held the power of life and death, and he really had no choice.

Emperor Tianlong's courage to try the good of Longyang was not a secret in Lin Qiantan's previous life. Anyway, it didn't affect the government, and the ministers at that time turned a blind eye.

It's just that the difference is that in the past, it was Dong Yong, who was already dead, and it was the Gu family's San Lang who was a little inexplicable.

She then looked towards Gu Qingxuan and found that Gu Qingxuan on the other side happened to be looking at her as well.

Lin Qiantan accompanied Concubine Xiao for a walk, and she had just come back.

Singing and dancing, everyone is very happy, lively and lively.

In a deserted alley somewhere outside the city, Yin Huai was taking the soldiers and horses and Yan Shao to fight while laughing: "Lord Jun, where are you going?" Your Majesty invites you back to the palace to drink a cup of Shou tea. ”

Yin Huai came with people prepared, but Yan Shao's reinforcements did not arrive. He watched the subordinates who guarded him decrease one by one, and regretted that he shouldn't have listened to the villain's slander and brought people to do it himself.

The army of the Dongping County Wangfu was still on standby outside the city, but it never waited for the master's order, and General Cai, who took the talisman, did not appear.

*

Wang Yuanzhao looked towards the Cai family in the field, not knowing what was going on in the Dongping County Palace. In order to be safe, he agreed with General Cai, who took over the talisman, and buried the talisman under the city wall and waited for General Cai to take it by himself.

He didn't know that at the same time, Bai Zhang, the official of the capital government, found a male corpse outside the city......

"Why doesn't the second son drink it?" A person happened to walk next to him and woke him up.

When he saw it, it was the one from the Qi family.

He then socialized with the other party, and he didn't pay attention, and the emperor at the top looked at him coldly.

It's a tall man.

When he sat in the crowd, he was naturally eye-catching, and the son of the Qi family, who was also sitting with him, was nearly a head shorter than him.

And he was only nineteen years old when he turned the New Year.

Emperor Tianlong was a little jealous, young and young.

Some female relatives couldn't help but think when they saw it, such a person, it's a pity that he already has a family affair. They all complained that they were hesitant and disgusted that each other was raised outside.

The son of the Qi family drank a little too much, and while chatting with Wang Yuanzhao, he talked about the broken sheepskin mentioned earlier: "...... I tell you, it's just such a broken thing, but my grandfather is a treasure, and when the family is the poorest, he would rather sell my aunt to marry than take it out......"

The son of the Qi family said that this piece of broken sheepskin was said to have been given to him by his grandfather's old lover.

Wang Yuanzhao talked to him without a match, and before he knew it, he was far away again, but Wang Yuanzhao also knew what he wanted to know.

As he spoke, the son of the Qi family ripped off his clothes, as if he was very hot.

In the alley outside the city, Yin Huai is a villain: "The king of the county is waiting for General Cai?"

A gust of wind blew, blowing people's hearts to pull out the cold.

Yan Shao originally wanted to motivate his subordinates and make the people below feel that their masters had risked their lives in order to share weal and sorrow with them, and they could have broken through. As a result, the appearance of Yin Huai disrupted his plan.

General Cai not only died, but even the person in charge of answering in the city was also led away.

Yan Shao praised him: "Yin Da Gongzi is really a good skill."

Yin Huai smiled: "Not really. These are just my father's arrangements, and I am just implementing them. ”

Feacity?

Yan Shao's heart was cold. Thinking that the man was very insidious, if he was defeated in his hands, he would have nothing to say......

*

Yin Ren walked in front of Wang Yuanzhao with a wine glass, Wang Yuanzhao stood up and clinked glasses with him. The two stood together, and people were surprised to find that Wang Yuanzhao and Yin Ren were standing together, and they were not inferior to him at all.

The big boy who is clearly thinking about the actions of the Dongping County Palace, but on the surface, he can be quiet, and he does not show timidity when he talks to the powerful minister of Yin Tenacity, which is young, but it is rare.

Yin Ren seemed to mention it to him unintentionally, and talked about some things about Yan Shao: "Back then, the king of Dongping County was also the second son with such a good bearing."

Wang Yuanzhao didn't have any feelings for Yan Shao, and his tenacity was just by observing his demeanor and reaction to determine whether the other party knew about Yan Shao, or how much he knew.

What made him appreciate was that the young man in front of him was clearly involved in Yan Shao's affairs, but it was indeed very good to be able to do it without showing half a point on his face.

I heard that he went to the army, and after only two or three months of work, those old fritters in the army were very convinced of him. I also heard that he has a bad relationship with the Wang family, if he can take advantage of this and draw him to his side......

Having said that, I don't know how my son's side is doing.

On the other hand, Yin Huai finally relied on the advantage of numbers to force Yan Shao Zhenshao into a dead end.

I haven't forgotten the one who fell into the well: "Why bother with the prince of the county, stay in the nest honestly, we don't know where the prince of the county is." It's not like now, jumping out on your own and looking for death.

Yan Shao sneered: "Yin Cheng used the method well." If you think about it carefully, the rumors that lured him out to take risks must be the work of the tact.

Yin Huai smiled, and said: "Your Highness's words, it's better to leave them in the underworld to tell Lord Yama, the reason why I told Your Highness these things is that I don't want Your Highness to even know how he died."

Yan Shao was forced into a corner, remembering that Wang Yuanzhao had persuaded him that someone was following them to meet and persuading him not to take random actions, but he didn't listen.

When the sharp sword was inserted into his chest, Yan Shao was even thinking: I should have listened to Wang Yuanzhao's persuasion if I knew it earlier, and I should be patient for the time being. It was he who was impulsive and chose to maneuver his hand when it was not appropriate. As soon as General Cai died, the talisman left by his father was afraid that it would also fall into the hands of Yin Ren......

Emperor Tianlong's birthday banquet was very lively, and it took most of the day to be a little deserted. It wasn't until the afternoon that Yin Ren received the news, came to Emperor Tianlong, and reported to him, Emperor Tianlong knew that he had succeeded, and said: "I know."

As far as the eye can see, many ministers below are drunk and can't hide it, and it is the time when a good dream is in full swing.

The birthday banquet can only be used to celebrate, and it can also be used to cover up the true purpose of the emperor. How many people who are still thinking about Yan Shao in their hearts have been trapped in the palace like this, and they don't know that the eldest grandson of the royal family, who they are quietly loyal to in their hearts, has completely disappeared from the world at this time.
