Chapter 502: Bait
Lin Teng was shocked, and fear surged into his heart for a moment.
He didn't understand where this sentiment came from, and after a brief pause in his thoughts, it could only be attributed to the fear that his friend might be in danger.
Is that man crazy, these women are his people, why would he do such a brutal act of killing innocents?
Lin Teng couldn't figure it out, and the feeling of powerlessness made him even more painful and angry.
"Miss Luo—" He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The girl on the opposite side was indifferent: "So my father arranged for someone to set a fire and burn those rosters." ”
She looked into Lin Teng's eyes and asked calmly, "Will Lord Lin arrest my father?" ”
"No!" Lin Teng blurted out without thinking.
Luo Sheng curled his lips and smiled: "Then I thanked Lord Lin for my father." ”
Lin Teng smiled bitterly: "Miss Luo, don't say that, I'm really ashamed in my heart." ”
He is ashamed of his favoritism, and even more ashamed of his incompetence.
Although the fire was set for his daughter, he saved many girls like Miss Luo. He is not so pedantic, knowing that the one above is wrong, and he still aids in the abuse.
This word suddenly popped up in his mind, and Lin Teng's heart sank.
He is probably crazy, and even used "aiding and abusive" to describe the relationship between monarchs and ministers.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Teng asked, "Miss Luo, does Ling Zun know the reason why that person did this?" ”
Luo Sheng shook his head.
If you talk about the reason, in addition to the emperor and the national teacher in this world, I am afraid that only she can guess a few points.
However, a guess is just a guess after all, and even if she guesses correctly, she can't say it to anyone.
"Lord Lin go and get busy, if you stay for a long time, you may attract the attention of those who are interested."
Lin Teng got up and wanted to leave, thinking about it but not at ease, Zhengse advised: "Miss Luo, if you have any difficulties, remember to tell me." ”
Luo Sheng bowed slightly: "Okay." ”
When the Criminal Department and Jin Linwei joined forces to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Yamen of the Household Department, Emperor Yong'an did not give up on getting rid of the demon star.
For this suspicious and indifferent emperor, anyone who threatens the society in the slightest should be killed by mistake rather than let go.
The household registration register was all burned, and if it was recounted, it would take a year and a half to be short, and Emperor Yongan did not have this patience. After thinking about it for a few days, an imperial list was posted, which caused heated discussions among the people in the capital.
The emperor actually chose a concubine again!
The vast majority of the people around the imperial list did not know how to count, so some people asked: "What does the imperial list say?" ”
The man who looked like a scribe explained: "The emperor wants to choose concubines from the people. ”
When the people heard this, they became interested: "Choose a concubine from the people? In this case, wouldn't all the daughters of our family be chosen? ”
The man smiled, "Yes, yes, but there are conditions." ”
"What conditions?" People asked.
"The conditions for selection are 17 years old in Beijing, a woman born on the 7th day of the seventh month of the seventh month."
The people who gathered around to watch the excitement looked at each other.
It's a strange condition.
Soon, a rumor quietly spread in Beijing: the national teacher went out of the customs not long ago, because he observed the sky at night and found that the stars matching the emperor star appeared, which means that the middle palace is about to usher in a hostess.
The new queen will give birth to a prince for the emperor.
According to the deduction of the national teacher, this woman's birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the Wuchen year.
The rumors became more and more intense, and there were those who felt that it was ridiculous, and there were even more who believed it.
For many families, it may be hesitant to let their daughter enter the palace as a little concubine, but if it is a queen, it is worth a try.
Xiao Guifei heard the news not long after she was confined, and her face turned blue with anger.
Is the emperor so impatient, he has only been choosing a concubine for a few months, and he is going to choose a concubine again!
Speaking of which, it's because she gave birth to a princess.
Thinking of her daughter like a sick cat, Concubine Xiao Guifei became more and more distraught, and sent someone to the Heart Cultivation Hall to invite Emperor Yong'an.
It didn't take long for Emperor Yong'an to arrive.
"Is there something wrong with Concubine Ai?"
Concubine Xiao Guifei stared at Emperor Yong'an, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Emperor Yong'an was stunned: "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" ”
Concubine Xiao lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly: "The concubine heard that there is going to be a mistress in the harem, and she is a little afraid." ”
Emperor Yong'an's eyes deepened, and he held Xiao Guifei's hand: "Where did you hear the rumors from Concubine Ai?" ”
"Don't you all know it now?" Xiao Guifei's eyelashes trembled slightly, showing a little fragile, "When there is a hostess in the harem, a favorite concubine like a concubine will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side, and she can't say that she will make a mistake one day, just-"
Emperor Yong'an interrupted Concubine Xiao's resentment: "Don't think nonsense, concubine, where is the hostess, it's just to fill the harem again." ”
The upset of the past few days has made Emperor Yong'an not feel much relieved, but after all, Xiao Guifei is what he put on the tip of his heart, so he said patiently: "Concubine Ai also knows that my heirs are thin, and the concubines who were selected into the palace a few days ago have not moved so far, so I want to choose some more women to enter the palace." Concubine Ai, don't worry, no matter what, no one will cross you. ”
Xiao Guifei heard it in her ears and sneered in her heart.
What do you mean that there has been no movement so far, and it has been less than half a year since the last concubine was chosen!
As for the fact that no one will cross her, she would be a fool if she did.
The emperor has no children so far, as long as a concubine gives birth to a prince, when the time comes, the mother will be more expensive than the son, who will remember her as a concubine.
Although Concubine Xiao was resentful in her heart, she did not show it on her face, leaned into Emperor Yong'an's arms, and said softly: "Then the concubine is relieved." ”
After leaving Yuhua Palace, Emperor Yong'an suddenly sank his face: "In the future, if anyone chews his tongue in front of the concubine, let him shut up forever." ”
The matter of choosing a concubine again has become a hot topic in Beijing, and in the study of Luo's mansion, Luo Sheng and Luo Dadu Governor also talked about this matter.
"I didn't expect my father to burn the household register, and the emperor threw out such a bait."
Governor Luo sighed: "This is better than before, at least some people who love their daughters will not send their daughters to the palace." ”
If it was a desperate situation before, there will always be a lucky woman who escapes now.
The haze in Governor Luo's heart has not dissipated.
In order to solve the problem of the woman born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Wuchen year, the emperor can come up with this method, which shows that it is inevitable.
One day, the exalted knife will fall on Sheng'er's head.
Luo Dadu looked at his beloved daughter and fell into a long silence.
A voice came from outside the study: "Governor, the porter handed in the invitation from the princess's mansion." ”
"Come in."
A servant gently pushed the door open and presented Luo Sheng with a beautiful invitation.
Luo Sheng opened it and swept it, frowning slightly.
"How?"
Luo Sheng held the invitation and smiled: "Princess Changle invited me to play in the princess's mansion." ”
Knowing the friendship between Princess Changle and her daughter, Governor Luo Dadu relieved himself: "Go play, my father will find a way to solve these troubles." ”
"The daughter went."
Compared with Luo Dadudu's reassurance, Luo Sheng did not feel relaxed.
After that temptation, Princess Changle didn't look for her for a long time, and suddenly invited her to play in the princess's mansion, maybe it was a Hongmen banquet.
