Chapter 19: Aftertaste

Passing through the noisy and busy streets, the carriage slowly turned into a secluded and quiet alley, which is the place where many dignitaries and nobles in Lin'an City lived.

"The master is back."

At the entrance of the university scholar's mansion, the servant saw Wang Lingzhi's carriage coming from the entrance of the alley, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The carriage creaked and came to a slow stop. On the carriage, Wang Lingzhi, who walked down in an official uniform, had a gloomy face and a lot of worries. Without squinting or saying a word, he walked briskly towards the mansion.

A group of domestic servants at the door looked at Wang Ling's flashing back, although they were a little strange in their hearts, but no one dared to talk about it.

"Sir."

"How did you return from the palace so quickly?"

In the front hall, Wang Lingzhi sat on a chair and was silent. He held the teacup in his hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the floating green leaves in the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking.

A beautiful woman dressed in plain blue clothes and with a noble temperament saw Wang Lingzhi who was absent-mindedly holding a tea cup in the front hall, and stepped forward to ask in a low voice.

"Ma'am."

The sudden voice interrupted Wang Lingzhi's contemplation. He looked up and saw a pretty face, although he was nearly forty years old, but the charm still existed. This is the wife who has gone through the ups and downs with him, Lin Ruohan.

"What was the master thinking about here before?"

Wang Lingzhi's face was very strange today, she looked at him and asked softly.

"Hey."

He sighed heavily, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and stretched out his hand to hold Lin Ruohan's hand.

"Stand aside for now."

Lin Ruohan was very understanding, she waved her hand lightly, and drove the group of little maids waiting in the front hall down.

"Yes, ma'am."

The little maids bowed and competed to exit the antechamber. In the antechamber, for a moment, it felt much quieter.

"Master, what happened?"

"Why are you so preoccupied today?"

Lin Ruohan sat down lightly, looked at Wang Lingzhi, and asked softly.

"Hey."

"Today, as a husband, I will almost never be able to step out of the palace gate."

At this moment, Wang Lingzhi still had palpitations and a chill in his back. In the imperial study, Emperor Chu Wen's half-squinted eyes were still fresh in his memory.

"Huh?"

"Why is that?"

Hearing what Wang Lingzhi said, Lin Ruohan exclaimed. She reached out and gently covered her mouth, a little incredulous.

"Master, haven't you always been very trusted by the saints?"

"The Holy One is in the prime of life, and he is not old and confused, how can he?"

Lin Ruohan was a little strange, Wang Lingzhi had been working hard since he entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and he worked hard for Nanchu. He is not greedy for officials, he is not a roundabout person, and he has always been deeply trusted by Emperor Chu Wen, and he is considered to be a confidant of Emperor Chu Wen.

The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking?

Wang Lingzhi has never formed a party for personal gain, and there is no threat to the imperial power, which is also unreasonable?

What is the reason for that? Lin Ruohan's face was a little uncertain.

"No more guesswork."

"It's all because of that precious girl."

Looking at Lin Ruohan, who was very shocked and uncertain, Wang Lingzhi was a little helpless, he slowly said and explained the reason.

"Ruoxi?"

"She?"

Lin Ruohan was shocked, but she never thought in her heart that this matter was related to their daughter, Wang Ruoxi.

"How is this possible? What did Ruoxi do? ”

"How can it cause the wrath of the Holy One?"

She couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't believe it, was this really related to her daughter?

"Huh."

"She?"

"It's not like all of you are too doting on her?"

"So she was so lawless at such a young age?"

"What else is she afraid to do?"

Wang Lingzhi was very angry, his beard cocked, and he shook and trembled. His eyes were very sharp, staring closely at Lin Ruohan who was close at hand.

"Master calm his anger, don't be angry."

She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Wang Lingzhi's chest, and persuaded him.

"Rest the anger, I think, it's better for me to be angry with her earlier."

"That's peace of mind."

"Look at her, where is she a little like a young lady in the boudoir?"

"I'm not in the house all day, and I show my face."

"This old face of my Wang Lingzhi has already made her lose everything, in this Lin'an City, whose daughter is like her?"

"Huh? Tell me about it. ”

Wang Lingzhi simply became more and more angry at this time, if he just showed his face, it would be fine, but now, it was for their Wang family to provoke such a disaster.

"Eliminate gas, eliminate gas."

"What did Ruoxi do?"

"How could it be so serious?"

"Even the Holy One will be alarmed by this?"

Lin Ruohan couldn't figure it out, although her daughter was naughty, liked to make friends everywhere, and recited poems against her, but her temperament was so good, how could she do something too out of line?

"Do you know what the Holy One has?"

Wang Lingzhi answered some questions, he looked at Lin Ruohan and asked in a deep voice.

"This ......"

Lin Ruohan frowned slightly and thought for a while.

"Prince Kang?"

The Holy Heart Knot, in the eyes of some people in Nanchu, is not a secret matter, but they are just tacit with each other.

"Ruoxi and the county lord of Ankang are good friends."

"Even so, as for the displeasure of the saints?"

Lin Ruohan didn't think about it, his daughter and the lord of Ankang have been playmates since they were children, and their relationship has always been excellent. But even so, will the Holy One be suspicious? The Holy One can't be so confused, right?

"You're thinking simple enough."

"If that's all there is, how can I be so afraid."

"Do you know that Ruoxi has already set foot in the army?"

Wang Lingzhi shook his head gently, women always think about things so simply.

"Stepping into the army?"

"Pioneer Black Battalion?"

Lin Ruohan was not stupid, after Wang Lingzhi's slight reminder, she also thought of it instantly.

"Your precious daughter is now the pioneer black battalion to join the military."

"That is, the so-called military division within the army."

Wang Lingzhi gently hammered his forehead, this baby girl gave him a headache.

"This?"

Lin Ruohan was speechless at the moment, her baby daughter would actually set foot in the barracks and be in the company of a group of middle-aged men.

"But, how could Prince Kang agree to Ruoxi messing around like this?"

Lin Ruohan looked at her husband and asked curiously. Ruoxi is so messing around, but why did Prince Kang connive at her?

"Why would he disagree?"

"Although Ruoxi is messing around, Ruoxi's talent is well known to everyone in Jinling City."

"If she is a man, she will be named on the gold list, and she will be honored as a marquis, and she will be caught."

"She has studied hard since she was a child, and she knows the art of war and battle formations well, although it is mostly on paper, but for the black camp, it can be regarded as the icing on the cake and helpful."

"What's more, the position of military advisor was promised to Ruoxi, more for ......"

Wang Lingzhi's words said this, and he stopped talking.

"In order to win over the tying master?"

Lin Ruohan blurted out for a while.

"Hey."

Wang Lingzhi sighed heavily, helpless.

Prince Kang is scheming, Wang Ruoxi has entered the vanguard black camp, but he is unspeakable and speechless. Such a thing will certainly be suspicious of the saints.

Since ancient times, soldiers have been sharp weapons, not to mention, they are still the famous vanguard black battalion. For a long time, this battalion of soldiers and horses has been the stinger that the current saint wants to pull out in his heart.

Now, he is simply in a dilemma, as if he is caught in a crack in the stone, and he is in danger.

"Ruoxi is in the house at this time?"

Throwing away the mess in his mind for the time being, he asked Lin Ruohan.

"As soon as you left, she also left the house."

When Wang Lingzhi heard this, his face was extremely gloomy.

He went on a mission this time, and when he returned a few days later, everything had changed dramatically.

Is it a blessing? Is it woe?
