After listening to Sima Jingling's words, Mrs. Lin was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said to Sima Jingling: "Ah, it's really such a reason, it's me who was stunned, and when I saw this golden hairpin, I remembered some of the past, and my mind was confused." ”

Sima Jingling chuckled, sat down in front of Mrs. Lin, motioned to Yeque to loosen the tie for Steward Zhu, and then said to Mrs. Lin in a very relaxed tone: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to be confused, maybe you can take this opportunity to think of those things that you think you have forgotten, but in fact you have never forgotten?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin glanced up at Sima Jingling, looked at her and smiled, as if she had made a harmless joke, and seemed to say this sentence very seriously, and for a while, she didn't know what kind of attitude to change to face Sima Jingling.

Sima Jingling saw that Mrs. Lin was at a loss at this time, and took the initiative to solve the current dilemma for Mrs. Lin.

She simply pointed out a topic for Mrs. Lynn that could be spoken at this time.

She said: "Since Mrs. Lin has already obtained this golden hairpin, why don't you take this opportunity to tell the story behind this golden hairpin." We are actually very curious, according to the relationship between you and Wei Lan, why did you get involved with the old palace man who had been staying by Wei Lan's side for many years? ”

Mrs. Lin took a look at the golden hairpin in her hand, thought about it, and slowly talked about the past.

"Actually, speaking of which, my intersection with the old palace people was earlier than the intersection with Wei Lan. Long before I entered the palace, I had already had contact with the old palace people.

The old palace man, surnamed Wei, is a eunuch who has been given the surname of the royal family. ”

Sima Jingling raised her eyebrows slightly, now she was a lot more interested in the identity of the old palace people.

A eunuch, even if he has been in the palace for many years, is not the reason why he can bear the royal surname, there must be other stories in this.

After all, as far as their Southern Imperial Kingdom is concerned, they are also eunuchs, and they are also extremely favored, and it can be said that they have a heavy role in the palace, and they have not been crowned with any imperial surnames by the ancestors of their Southern Imperial Kingdom.

In their southern kingdom, the honor and disgrace of the family are above all else, and including the royal family, they all pay great attention to the continuity and majesty of their own family.

Therefore, in such an environment, it is absolutely impossible for a eunuch or a eunuch to have the same surname as them, and they will never let their surname be tarnished by such impure people, imperfect people.

They can have power, but they can't have identity.

It is also for this reason that in recent years, there have always been some eunuch rebellions in the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

Their demand for chaos is nothing more than to let themselves have an identity, so that they will not be behind them, and they will not even be able to enter the ancestral tomb.

As far as Sima Jingling knew, in the Northern Proud Country, the status of the eunuchs was even lower than that of the Southern Emperor.

The Northern Proud Boy must have a complete body, a strong physique, and a majestic body.

Therefore, in their eyes, eunuchs can't be called human beings at all, and they are even more reluctant to say that they were once one of the Beiao men.

In Beiao, the existence of eunuchs is like livestock, with no status at all, and anyone can walk up and step on it.

Not only do they not have their own identity, but it is impossible for them to have official positions to do as if they were in Nanyu, and even the official rank of some eunuchs is higher than that of some ordinary people.

They can only recognize their duties as inferior people, and they can work hard every day to serve the nobles above.

Therefore, in such an environment, it should be a great honor for a eunuch to be able to have the surname "Wei". It can also be seen that this old palace man is scheming.

"Wei Zhongshou can really be called an old man, when he was young, he was already a small palace man who served beside Emperor Gaozu of Northern Pride, but he was still young at that time, and Emperor Gaozu was already in his twilight years, so the two did not have much intersection, and Emperor Gaozu had already collapsed.

As soon as Emperor Gaozu collapsed, those of them who followed and served were originally buried together, but because Wei Zhongzhi was too young, and he usually acted very transparently and neatly, he was hit by Emperor Cheng at a glance, so he was left behind, and he was also received into Emperor Cheng's palace.

This can be regarded as the beginning of Wei Zhongshi's gradual emergence.

Wei Zhongshi's appearance always looks gentle and gentle, and he treats people extremely meticulously and gently, and he will never easily show the word fierce to others, unless this person really touches the majesty of the royal family, or in other words, there are some unfavorable thoughts for Bei Ao.

Of course, what made Wei Zhongshi really invincible was after Emperor Cheng, the grandfather of Apu, and Emperor Jing, who once belonged to Apu's father as his successor. During his reign, he once fell into extreme danger, and the person who saved him was Wei Zhongshi. ”

Sima Jingling pondered the relationship for a while, and found that if it weren't for Wei Lan's age, every step of this was like Wei Lan's little by little arrangement, so that Wei Zhongshou could get close to each generation of emperors, and it didn't make these emperors have any defensive heart against Wei Zhongshi, and then in the end, everything Wei Zhongshou had was actually for Wei Lan.

The age is not right, and Sima Jingling also knows that her thoughts are a little whimsical. But even so, Sima Jingling didn't believe that all this happened to be a coincidence.

Although she has never met Wei Lan and has not directly fought with Wei Lan, but in these days, she has already had an intuitive understanding of Wei Lan, and she feels that Wei Lan is not quite a person who has the idea of using Wei Zhongshi after seeing Wei Zhongshi's success, but when she didn't know Wei Zhongshi's person at the beginning, Wei Lan already had a connection with Wei Zhongshi.

Sima Jingling lightly covered her eyes and covered up all the thoughts in her eyes.

She asked Mrs. Lin in an unpredictable tone, "What danger did Emperor Jing encounter at the beginning, do you know Mrs. Lin?" ”

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, flickered her thoughts, and replied, "I don't know exactly what happened at the beginning. But this golden hairpin was indeed given out at this time.

At that time, in order to save Emperor Jing, Wei Zhongshou was seriously injured, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. I'm the only one here, and I happen to have an extremely dangerous method.

This method is probably to 'fight poison with poison', give Wei Zhongshi a dose of fierce medicine, and let this medicinal property directly fill Wei Zhongshi's anger, so that he can cooperate with the medicine from the outside world and slowly recover his body.

But the sequelae of this method is that after that, the body is extremely weak, and it can no longer be as energetic as before. ”

At that time, the situation was indeed quite urgent, and Emperor Jing made a decision immediately and chose Mrs. Lin's method.

Fortunately, this method did work, and Wei Zhongshi soon came to his senses.

He is also very grateful to Emperor Jing for this choice, and he has always been concerned about Mrs. Lin's life-saving grace.

"At that time, I hadn't found out what the relationship between Wei Zhongshi and Wei Lan was." Madam Lin squinted her eyes slightly, and a trace of coldness seemed to flash in her eyes, "It wasn't until I secretly investigated what was going on in this accident while Emperor Jing and Wei Zhongzhi were recuperating from their injuries that I discovered something unusual about it.

This is more like a premeditated accident. ”

Sima Jingling's eyes lifted, and the guess in her heart was confirmed at this moment.

Mrs. Lin's eyes matched Sima Jingling's, and there was some obvious understanding in the eye information revealed by the two of them.

"What strengthened my idea was not what I found out later, but Emperor Jing's attitude." Mrs. Lin smiled, and the corners of her mouth slowly lifted a curvature, "It stands to reason that what I can notice and find, Emperor Jing should also be able to be clear and understand." On the way to investigate, I noticed Emperor Jing's manpower.

At that time, I happened to be suffering from no progress, so I planned to stop there and listen to the results of Emperor Jing's investigation. However, what I didn't expect was that this matter was actually put to rest by Emperor Jing himself. ”

"Huh." After listening to Mrs. Lin's words, Sima Jingling sneered lightly, and then tapped the table in front of her with her fingers, "A premeditated accident that almost killed me on the spot, I didn't want to reveal the truth to the world, so as to investigate the people behind the scenes, but I also suppressed the truth with my own hands and let this matter pass like this, which is really not suspicious." ”

Mrs. Lin smiled faintly, and everything was silent.

She didn't need to say anything more, Sima Jingling was already able to think clearly about the cause and effect of the matter.

Wei Zhongshou became Wei Zhongshi, and the reason behind this matter accounts for a large proportion.

Thinking of this, Sima Jingling suddenly squinted her eyes, frowned slightly, and asked Mrs. Lin, "Then how did you learn about the relationship between Wei Lan and Wei Zhongshi?" At that time, the person who contacted Wei Zhongshi directly, you shouldn't have found it yet, right? It stands to reason that at that time, you should only have a little doubt about Wei Zhongshi. ”

"The girl is right, Wei Lan has not revealed anything special about him at that time, and what I suspect is only Wei Zhongshou himself. I really want to know, who is the person who contacted Wei Zhongshi? But later, I found out that something was wrong with Wei Lan herself. ”

Sima Jingling glanced at Apu and found that Apu's body was trembling slightly.

She quietly patted Ah Bao's hand placed underneath, thinking about how old Wei Lan was at that time, and couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted for Wei Lan who she hadn't met.

There was some coldness in her voice, "When you found out that Wei Lan had a problem, did you find out that Wei Lan secretly had malicious intentions towards the eldest prince back then?" ”

Mrs. Lin's expression seemed to be a little surprised, but she still nodded to Sima Jingling.

There was a sudden sadness on her expression.

"I know it's a little late to say this, but I still want to say, I'm sorry. I really couldn't react to the matter of the eldest prince back then, if I could have secretly helped the eldest prince guard against Wei Lan the moment I found the clue, then what happened after that would not have happened. ”

Sima Jingling comforted Ah Pu, who was a little emotionally unstable, and paid attention to Mrs. Lin's words.

She always felt that Mrs. Lin's apology meant something, but now was obviously not the time to dwell on it.

The amount of information revealed by Mrs. Lin is actually huge enough.

First of all, it is about the relationship between Wei Zhongshou and Wei Lan, it is definitely not just a royal child and an old man in the palace who has experienced four dynasties, but at the very beginning, when Wei Lan had not yet appeared, their fate had been involved.

Sima Jingling suddenly remembered the secret that Night Crow and Night Weng had told her.

If there is really the handwriting of Donglinguo in this, then Donglinguo is really unconsciously showing his ambitions.

Sima Jingling thought for a long time, and finally said to the night crow and night man on the side: "Now from the perspective of everything, the relationship between Wei Lan and the old palace people is far more complicated than we imagined. Although they can't be sure that it is the most intimate relationship now, it will definitely be an inseparable relationship, so we still need to work the side of the old palace people.

Didn't he ask you to come to Mrs. Lin to cure your throat, and said that even if you can't cure your throat, he will definitely teach you to play the piano and let you improve your piano skills.

In this case, you will follow Lady Lin and learn from Lady Lin. And you, night crow, just find a reason to stay with Wei Zhongshi. ”

There is nothing wrong with the Night Raven and the Night Wing, and they all should be respectful.

On Mrs. Lin's side, naturally there is no problem, anyway, according to the situation, she now belongs to the weak side, or more accurately, she now belongs to the side that is being held in the hands of others.

Moreover, she actually had some guesses about the identity of Sima Jingling and her party in her heart, although when she thought of this idea, she also felt that it was really unbelievable. But for the things of the year and the people who were so persistent about Wei Lan, it seems that there is no one else except for them.

She didn't know what Sima Jingling and Ah Pu's plan was, but no matter what their plan was, it would not affect her choice to support.

Originally, what he had been doing silently behind his back for so many years was to help that gentle person find justice, and now that he has the master, he should naturally give him all the decision-making power.

Sima Jingling understood Mrs. Lin's attitude, and both parties were happy.

But the next most important thing is to solve why Mrs. Lin appeared in such a place, and whether they can take Mrs. Lin out.

Sima Jingling knocked on the door, called the slave bustard in, and said to the slave bustard with an extremely satisfied smile: "This girl's piano skills are indeed very superb, and I am also very satisfied, I don't know how to make this girl my exclusive violinist?" ”
