Since it was found out that it was the East Palace that Zhuohua was infected with the plague, the Guogong Mansion and the crown prince are now a little too lazy to maintain peace on the surface.

The old prince's words were more for the prince, but the prince's cheek was thick-skinned, as if he didn't notice it, and he bowed his head in agreement.

He sent a handsome little eunuch, Li Zeyi asked Suifeng to follow, and the Guogong Mansion sent a housekeeper to follow.

The three of them followed the man to fetch water, and after a while they came with a bowl of water and put it on the table.

Lin Jinjun walked over, made a cut on his fingertip with a dagger, and then dripped a drop of blood into it. Then the woman holding the child came, and although she was reluctant, she took out the child's little hand and handed it over.

The little child seemed to feel something, his clear eyes were full of tears, as if he was about to fall in the next second, and when the sharp dagger cut through the delicate fingers, the child's cry sounded.

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and stepped forward to apply ointment to the wound on the child's finger, and the blood immediately stopped.

The child sobbed, looking at Lin Zhuohua with a pair of big eyes, with a bit of closeness in his eyes. But instead of stretching out her hand to embrace her, she commanded the woman.

"Let's carry him down first."

The woman blessed her body and withdrew with the child in her arms.

Everyone's eyes fell on the bowl containing the water, only to see that the two drops of blood in the bowl did not blend.

"These two drops of blood are not combined, so it can be seen that this child is not from my Lin family." The old man looked away from the bowl containing the clear water, looked at the crowd and said loudly.

"It seems that Master Lin has indeed been wronged, and we will definitely testify for him."

Everyone echoed and put away their thoughts about watching the play.

King Yi glanced at it, and then said lightly: "This matter is over, since the matter is clear, this king will go back to the mansion first, there are still many things to deal with in the mansion." ”

When Lin Zhuohua heard this, he immediately stepped forward and looked at his grandfather: "Grandfather, I'll send King Yi out first, and you can handle it here." ”

Since it has been proved that the child is not her eldest brother's, then the child's mother deliberately framed it, and naturally she must be punished. After all, Lingxin sold herself and signed a deed of sale with the Guogong Mansion, she is the subordinate of the Guogong Mansion, and the subordinate will be punished for framing the master.

The rest of the matter is the family affairs of the Guogong Mansion itself, and naturally these people can no longer participate in it, and they all leave one after another.

Lin Zhuohua accompanied Li Zeyi out of the Guogong Mansion, looking at the luxurious carriage parked outside, the corners of his mouth curled.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Yi."

A smile flashed in Li Zeyi's eyes, he reached out and rubbed her head, and said softly: "Let's go, talk to me." ”

The two have been separated for so long, they have only been together for a few days, and the time together is very small, and he has a lot of things to say to her.

Lin Zhuohua was not pretentious, nodded and followed him into the luxurious carriage.

When the guests came out of the Guogong Mansion, they saw King Yi carefully helping Lin Zhuohua into the carriage, and then went up himself.

The cautious appearance seemed to be holding some rare treasure, which made many people have a new understanding of how much King Yi attached importance to the lord of Ronghua.

No matter what others thought, Lin Zhuohua was pulled into his arms after sitting in the carriage, and his clear breath came from the surface.

She found a comfortable place in his arms and leaned back lazily.

"In a few days, it's your salute." He pinched her slender fingers, as soft as if there were no bones: "After the ceremony, we will get married!" ”

Lin Zhuohua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "En." ”

Anyway, he has been identified in this life, and it is the same when he gets married. It's just that I don't know if the relatives want her to marry so early.

"Don't worry, even if you marry into the Yiwang Mansion, as long as you want your family, you can come back to live for a while." Li Zeyi knew how much his little girl valued her relatives, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Lin Zhuohua raised his head and looked at him, frowning: "Is it okay?" I'm afraid that the prince has been staring at King Yi's mansion, if I still live in my mother's house often after I get married, he is afraid that he will have to make some articles about this. ”

Li Zeyi smiled indifferently, and didn't seem to put the prince in his eyes, his tone was lazy but revealing an inexplicable confidence.

"He won't know."

Now that the people in the mansion who were inserted by the prince have been solved, he has solved them, and the news that has been passed on to the prince is what he wants the other party to know. As for those who are secretly watching outside, it is even easier to solve.

The prince can hide Mu Wanyu in the East Palace and send Mu Wanyu to the Guogong Mansion to give birth, not to mention his Yi Wangfu.

Lin Zhuohua rubbed in his arms, as delicate as a little milk cat.

"You're so good to me."

Li Zeyi rubbed her head lovingly, all the tenderness and affection he had given her in this life, how could he be bad to her.

Neither of them spoke again, but the rich and warm atmosphere in the carriage lingered for a long time.

After Lin Jinjun's matter was dealt with, the spirit core was tied up and thrown in front of everyone. The old man drank tea quietly, this was all a matter of the inner house, and he was inconvenient to speak, so he handed everything over to his old wife and daughter-in-law for interrogation.

The majesty on the old lady's body was rich, and her eyes looked coldly at the spirit core that was thrown on the ground. At this time, the spirit core was no longer as delicate and pure as when she first entered the mansion, her hair was messy, her face was pale and bleak, and her whole person was like a frosted eggplant, losing her vigorous vitality.

"Tell me, who sent you to my mansion?"

The old lady put down the tea cup in her hand, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet hall.

When Lingxin heard this, he raised his head and made a wooden face: "The slave doesn't know what the old lady means?" ”

Now she has no use value, and the mysterious person who worked with her before no longer appears, and she really doesn't know the identity of the other party. Today she was afraid that she would not be able to get better, but they would not dare to kill her.

She knew that nothing good would end her, so she broke the jar and broke it.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhuohua smiled slightly, threw a stack of papers in front of her, and then asked someone to untie her.

"After you have read it yourself, you can answer the question just now after thinking about it."

Lingxin picked up the paper thrown in front of her, and looked at the contents on it, but her body began to tremble gradually, and her face was extremely ugly.

"It's all true?"

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Naturally, if you don't believe it, I can take you back to see if your brother and sister have been killed." ”

Lingxin's whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, and he fell to the ground, and the paper in his hand also fell to the ground.

"No, it won't. He promised me that he would not only help me achieve my goals, but also make arrangements for my brother and sister in the future. ”

She suddenly shook her head desperately, and her whole person was in a state of madness. She didn't believe this, her younger siblings must have lived a good life and would not be killed.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhuohua sneered: "Since you don't believe it, then I'll take you to see it today." ”

As she spoke, she was about to get up, but Lingxin suddenly quieted down, and after a while she spoke: "I don't know who the other party is, because he wears a mask every time he comes to me, and he won't reveal his identity." But his voice is very good, and he doesn't sound very old. ”

Lin Zhuohua's mind moved, and he immediately asked people to prepare pen and ink, drew the mask that Ziyu Gongzi often wears, and then asked, "But this style of mask." ”

After Lingxin glanced at it, he nodded violently: "Yes, it's this mask." ”

Lin Zhuohua didn't have much fluctuation in her heart, in fact, she had such a guess a long time ago, but she didn't quite understand why the purple jade prince arranged the spirit core to her eldest brother.

"Why did he let you come to my eldest brother? But what is the purpose? ”

Lingxin shook his head: "He didn't tell me, he just asked me to gain the trust of the eldest young master first, and it is best to make him like me, and then take the opportunity to invite the pet to conceive his child, and then he will contact me again." "52 Literature

Lin Zhuohua squinted his eyes and stared at the spirit core for a long time, and after making sure that she was not lying, he withdrew his gaze. She sneered, this purple jade boy is really cautious enough.

This spirit core is just a pawn of the purple jade boy, and it is probably useless now. From her, there should be no news.

"I've already asked what I want to know, and as for how to punish the spirit core, it's up to grandmother and mother to decide."

Mrs. Lin looked at the old lady and asked, "Mother, you decide." ”

In the end, the old lady sent the spirit core to a Zhuangzi, which was the old lady's dowry, and it was all people she trusted, in fact, this was also a disguised imprison.

Lin Zhuohua has no opinion on such a punishment.

"Mother, let the child go as planned. I have already found a family in Zhuangzi, it is an old couple, honest and loyal, who will take good care of the child. ”

Mrs. Lin naturally knows the innocence of the child, but putting it under her nose will inevitably make people feel a little embarrassed, so it is better to send it away from afar, out of sight and out of mind.

The old lady nodded: "You can arrange this matter, the second and third brothers, and a few brothers and Zhuohua will stay, and the others will go back first." ”

"Yes, Mother."

Mrs. Lin left with a few concubines, and when she left Ningshou Courtyard, she dealt with the matter of Lingxin and the child.

The rest of the room sat quietly, waiting for the old man to speak.

Old Duke Lin raised his head to look at his granddaughter, frowned and asked, "Our Guogong Mansion doesn't seem to have any grudges against that Ziyu Prince, why does he want to target us?" ”

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and thought for a while: "Grandfather, how much do you know about Ning Yuanbo?" ”

When it came to Ning Yuanbo, Lin Lao Guogong's face was not very good-looking. His brows furrowed tightly, as if he didn't want to mention more: "Why did you suddenly mention Ning Yuanbo?" ”

"The prince of Ziyu is Uncle Ning Yuan, and the prince of Ziyu also secretly instigated Long Rui to enter the palace Dajing border pass, grandmother, what do you think he wants to do?"

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and said word by word.

The faces of the people in the room changed, and Lin Jinjun immediately ran to the door and looked around to make sure that no one was relieved, so he asked people to guard the door, and then closed the door again.

"Are you sure that the purple jade prince is Ning Yuanbo?" Lin Laoguogong's face was serious, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together.

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "King Yi also knows about this matter." ”

Speaking of King Yi, Lin Laoguo Gong completely believed that this purple jade prince was Ning Yuanbo, and he sighed faintly.

"I didn't expect him to be so stubborn, after so many years, he actually ......"

Lin Zhuohua didn't know much about Ning Yuanbo, most of what she knew was heard by Li Zeyi, but it should be the grievances of the previous generation.

She is not interested in these, but if it involves or endangers her relatives, then she will definitely not stand idly by.

"Father, if Uncle Ning Yuan has to take revenge, he will definitely disturb the Dajing royal family, should you inform the emperor about this matter?"

Second Master Lin frowned, with a little worry in his eyes. Qin Tianjian's original prophecy of the ominous son flashed through his mind, could it really be as Qin Tianjian said and predicted?

"Now that King Yi knows about this, we don't have to worry about it. He should personally report to the emperor, this matter is a royal matter, and we will obey the emperor's arrangement. ”

Lin Laoguo rubbed his eyebrows, and there was a little more tiredness between his eyebrows: "Okay, this matter will stop." Next, let's get busy with the scorching flowers and the ceremony. This time, the queen mother was there in person, and the safety of the house must be done well, and the queen mother must not make any mistakes. ”

"Yes, father."

When everyone left, the old man changed into a robe and prepared to go out.

"Are you going to King Yi's Mansion?" The old lady raised her head and asked with a frown. This person just said in front of everyone that he didn't care about this matter, and this person turned around and was going to Yiwangfu to inquire.

The old prince and his wife had nothing to hide, and nodded: "Well, I'm afraid that King Yi won't tell Zhuohua everything about this." The royal family was not wrong about that incident back then. Ning Yuanbo was already open, but the kid stubbornly thought that it was the royal family who killed his family, and the Guogong Mansion was also involved at that time, and now I am afraid that he can't escape the child's revenge. ”

The old lady sighed: "You go." ”

Looking at the back of the old prince leaving, the old lady shook her head helplessly, now that Long Rui has surrendered, Ning Yuanbo was disturbed by King Yi in Long Rui's move, I am afraid that he will not give up, and I am afraid that this Shangjing will be in chaos.

Yiwang Mansion, Li Zeyi is still resting now. Except for the time with Lin Zhuohua, the rest of the time was spent in the mansion to deal with some things.

He had just sent away the secret guard who had reported the news, when he saw the butler hurrying over.

"Lord Wang, Lin Laoguo asks to see you."

"Hurry up and invite Master Ben Wang in." Li Zeyi put down the brush in his hand, and when he raised his head again, Lin Lao Guogong had already followed the housekeeper in.

"Old ministers, see His Royal Highness King Yi."

Li Zeyi hurriedly got up, walked over quickly and helped the person up: "Master, there are no others here, why do you need to be so polite." ”

"No matter where you are, you can't waste it."

After speaking, he sat down on the chair on the side, took the tea poured by the butler and took a sip.

"What is the matter with the master's coming over today?" Li Zeyi was helpless, whoever let his master be full of rules, he was used to it. Sit down in a chair next to you and ask curiously.

"The prince of Ziyu is that Uncle Ning Yuan?" Lin Lao Guogong didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Li Zeyi held the teacup in his hand and looked up: "The master already knows?" ”

Lin Lao Guogong nodded and told him about the spirit core. Then he frowned and sighed: "What are you going to do, can you tell the emperor?" ”

Li Zeyi shook his head, his face fell silent, and he said in a deep voice: "I discovered one thing when I was in Long Rui, Prince Ziyu had contact with the prince. ”

"You don't mean ......"

Seeing Li Zeyi nodding, Lin Lao Guogong was really shocked this time. If it was really as he thought, what did he want to do with this prince?

"Master, my request to go to the border has made the prince a little unable to sit still. Especially the great victory at the border pass, Long Rui was willing to surrender to Dajing. In addition, when I gave such a gift to my father during the palace banquet, it would make him feel a great sense of crisis. ”

"You did it on purpose?" Lin Lao Guogong recovered from the shock and frowned: "You are pressing step by step like this, if the prince fights back, you may not be able to fight the prince now." During the time you were not in Beijing, many officials who were originally neutral have now stood behind the prince, and Fu Xiang has stopped swaying from side to side, indicating that he is on the side. ”

Fu Xiang has a lot of power in the court, and now that he is standing behind the prince, then the people who follow Fu Xiang can be regarded as standing in line with the prince.

"On the day of the palace banquet, I was surrounded by some people in black, and the outstretched hands of those men in black were a little weird. It is a little different to say that they are dead, their eyes are blank, as if they have been manipulated, but the skyrocketing strength does not match their own internal strength. ”

That's why he delayed some time, but those people were a little strange, they didn't want his life, but seemed to be delaying time. For after a while they themselves retreated, but one of them was also captured by his men, and he was now locked up in the water prison of his palace.

Afraid that the person would commit suicide, Tianle also deliberately removed the other party's chin.

Lin Laoguo pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then spoke: "If this is the case, then it is a drug that forcibly improves strength. As for what you said about being manipulated, this kind of secret method is only available to the people of the Gu clan in Southern Xinjiang. ”

The Southern General Gu Clan used to make the Three Kingdoms fearful, but after that incident, they couldn't escape the world and settled down.

"Gu Clan?" Li Zeyi's eyes narrowed, something flashed in his mind, and he always felt that he seemed to have ignored some important information.

"Well, and this kind of secret method that can manipulate people must be learned by people with status in the Gu clan." Lin Laoguo Guild knew this, or because of a chance contract with a Gu clan person, and only after listening to the other party say some things about the Gu clan, did he know something.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that there are people from the Gu clan around the prince. In this case, it will be more difficult to deal with the crown prince. ”

Li Zeyi naturally knows this truth, but now that he has taken this step, there is no way back. He and the prince have long been destined to die.
