Chapter 467: Emperor's Heart 6
An originally stormy crisis of accountability changed direction in Lin Ruo's tears, and Emperor Mingzong, as an elder, took on the role of a kind old father, carefully caring for this little girl who was loved by him in the palm of his hand, what anger she had suffered from her husband.
Finally relieved from the grievances, the tears stopped, but they still sobbed quietly.
"Crying so sadly? It seems that the grievances are not small! It's good now? Tell me, why did Shaoqing bully you? You tell me, and I will help you get justice! β
After crying, the negative emotions were vented, Lin Ruo's face showed a slight look, as if he was embarrassed to explain the truth of the matter, and could only say vaguely: "Actually...... It's nothingβ"
"What's wrong with being so aggrieved?"
Lin Ruo puffed out his mouth, and said in his heart, isn't there still half of it scared by you? But he didn't dare to say it.
"If you don't say it, then I will send a decree and summon Shaoqing into the palace."
"Don't, don't ......" Lin Ruo hurriedly stopped, and hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Actually...... It's because ...... Yesterday, the prince was stopped and followed...... ...... in the same room with the Gu family."
"Gu family?" Emperor Mingzong twisted his eyebrows, "Gu Ting? β
"No, no, no," Lin Ruo bit his lip and said hesitantly, "Yes...... It's Gu Manni......"
It didn't take much effort for the conscientious cold guards to inquire about everything from Wu Blame. The reason why Wuyi did not hide it was because Murong Chong asked him to find out the details of Leng Shu, so he wanted to have some friendship with Leng Shu; Second, it is also because Wu Blame treats Lin Ruo as a master, although I don't know what Murong Chong and Gu Manni talked about, but since this matter is the fuse of the contradiction between Murong Chong and Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo also has the right to know and be wary.
"Shaoqing...... And Gu Manni? Emperor Mingzong's brows tightened again, his impression of Gu Manni was already not good, coupled with the marriage of Xishu, he was even more unapologetic, "What is she looking for Shaoqing?" β
Lin Ruo said indignantly: "It's not that I have spoken ill of the prince yet!" β
Lin Ruo naturally couldn't tell the real reason for her dispute with Murong Chong, but pouring dirty water on Gu Manni's body, she was very handy, oh no, it was smooth. Not only did she splash it, but she splashed it extremely smartly.
After listening to this, Emperor Mingzong said firmly: "I still understand Shaoqing's temperament. He wouldn't listen. β
"Believe it or not," Lin Ruo pouted, with dissatisfaction in his emotions, "But since you don't believe it, why do you want to see it?" Still listening to her nonsense for so long? Came back and told me ......"
Emperor Mingzong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you hope he won't tell you?" β
"Of course not! I ......" Lin Ruo choked, not knowing how to answer, so he could only stubbornly conclude, "That's why I don't dare to use these things to annoy the emperor!" β
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Guan who was waiting on the side. Even if he is an old man in the palace, he should have heard and seen a lot of such things, but Lin Ruo was still a little embarrassed.
Chen Guan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the princess, the old slave has a tight mouth and will never talk nonsense." β
Lin Ruo pursed his mouth: "Actually, it's nothing ......."
Emperor Mingzong laughed and said, "It's nothing", but who was the person who cried so sadly just now, and specially ran into the palace to spit out bitterness with Xijiao? Sure enough, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, the mind is really hard to guess! As for the unstoppable tears and the "credit" of his own prestige, Emperor Mingzong will never admit it!
However, this girl did not run back to her mother's Lin Mansion because of the awkwardness, but ran to the palace, which is quite surprising.
"How can you run to your mother's house as soon as you make a fuss? Before I got married, I remembered all the etiquette that my grandmother taught me. β
Lin Ruo argued, although she went back to the Lin Mansion from time to time on weekdays, it was an ordinary way to go home to visit relatives - close! But if you go back to your parents' house in an awkward way, this nature is different. Although she is very disdainful of the "three obedience and four virtues" admired in the patriarchal society, judging from her leaky style, she is not willing to leave such a handle to others.
"Besides, Your Majesty, you also know that the Lin family's heirs are thin, only me and Xiao Qi are two sisters and brothers, oh, now Brother Li is also back. It's just that Sister-in-law Li is no longer there, Xiao Qi has not yet married, and there are no female dependents in the Lin Mansion, and I can't find anyone to talk to about the hearts of these daughters. Ah Heng is now full of everything, and I can only talk to Xijiao in the palace. β
Lin Ruo's tone was full of kinship.
If her sister is still there, and the eldest sister is like a mother, she can still go to her sister to talk to herself; If her mother is still around, she can still be coquettish in her mother's arms. Now, she can be coquettish in front of the Queen Mother, but after all, because of the difference between dignity and inferiority, she can't confide her grievances to the Queen Mother; Concubine Xian was about the same age as her mother, and although they were close, they were not so close; In the future, in a generation similar to her age, only Xijiao can really talk to her a few more words of confidant.
Lin Ruo was secretly sad, but Emperor Mingzong grabbed another word: "Li Yan has been staying in Beiqi all these years? β
"Wellβno," Lin Ruo paused and replied seriously, "In the first three years, I have traveled everywhere, followed caravans and fleets to the north several times, and then it was because Li Bo went to the north to help me buy land, that is, in the area of Mingsha Mountain, that Brother Li went with him." Because he stayed for a while, Brother Li adhered to the idea of 'reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles', and wanted Xi'en to see the scenery of Mobei, so he arranged for someone to take Sister-in-law Li and Xi'en together. Unexpectedly, he was looted and killed by the Beiqi people. Since then, Brother Li has stayed in Beiqi, waiting for an opportunity to avenge Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li. β
The rest of the matter, when Lin Ruo came back from the north, he confessed to Emperor Mingzong. At this point, the whole thing was successfully matched, and Emperor Mingzong carefully went over it in his mind and found no mistakes.
"Li Yan and Dai Guo's business dealings?"
"It's the Ji family, the land in Mingsha Mountain was leased to them. So, there will be some contacts. β
The Ji family, in the Dai country, is not Zhong Ming Dingshi's family, even if the family is solid and the family is huge, it is very low-key to act as a person, although it has dealings with the officials of the DPRK and China in secret, mutual benefit and reciprocity, but it is very secretive, and even the territory of the Dai country is little known, let alone Donglu. Even if Emperor Mingzong wanted to investigate, he couldn't find out why.
But Emperor Mingzong's mind was not so shallow, and the emperor, who was accustomed to storms and intrigues, quickly traced such a rough outline in his mind.
