On this day, the emperor bid farewell to the crusading army at the city gate, and when the mighty army set off in the northwest direction, it stretched for hundreds of miles.

Xiao Lin? The others were sent to Shili Pavilion, and Yang Huijun and Xiao Linghui were waiting for General Yang in Shili Pavilion.

"Daddy." Yang Huijun shouted at General Yang, but he was speechless.

Xiao Lingwei stepped forward to take Yang Huijun's hand and comforted: "Mother, don't be sad, I have already told my grandfather for you, he will definitely be obedient." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the sad atmosphere of parting suddenly dissipated.

Yang Huijun glanced at Xiao Ling: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”

Xiao Lingwei knew that she was talking about going to Yang's Mansion without a sound, her body shivered involuntarily, and she hurriedly coquettishly told Old General Yang: "Grandfather save me." ”

So, General Yang turned to Yang Huijun and pretended to reprimand: "Don't punish my precious granddaughter, do you hear?" ”

Yang Huijun obediently responded: "Yes, my daughter obeys." ”

Xiao Lingwei was immediately satisfied.

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Linghui suddenly knelt down: "I don't know how long it will take for the child to come back, I can't be filial in front of my father, please forgive my father." ”

After speaking, the two solemnly faced Xiao Lin? Kowtow to Yang Huijun.

Xiao Lin? and Yang Huijun to help one by one, and help them up, Xiao Lin? took out the attitude of a strict father and told them: "This time I am serving the country, I must do my best, obey the command of the commander, and not be reckless." ”

Yang Huijun said: "My grandfather is old, and when you are outside, you have to take care of your grandfather more, and you must listen to your grandfather if you have anything." ”

The two said in unison, "Yes, the child has written it down." ”

General Yang said, "Okay, it's time to go." ”

——

On the second day, Yang Huijun took Xiao Lingwei into the palace to thank her.

first went to see the emperor, and after saying a few words, he went to the harem to see Concubine Xiao.

The reason why I didn't go to Kunning Palace was because the queen had been under house arrest for many years, and she didn't care about anything, and I heard that she had become even sicker recently.

The queen was indeed sick, but she held on to her breath just to wait for news.

Xiao Guifei quietly looked at Xiao Lingwei, who saluted her, and had mixed feelings for a while.

After a long time, she spoke: "Get up."

"You are now the county lord, and you will be a royal person from now on, and your words and deeds show the dignity of the royal family, and you can't make any mistakes.

"This palace has helped you choose two nurturing grandmothers, this time I will go back to Xiao Mansion with you, and you must learn etiquette well in the future, don't lose the face of this palace."

Yang Huijun felt uncomfortable when she heard this, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but Your Majesty has already given two grandmothers, so it is not easy to bear the grace of Niangniang." ”

Xiao Guifei's face changed slightly, and she was slightly displeased, but since the emperor gave her the first person, it was inconvenient for her to grab this face from the emperor.

"If so, then let it go."

Here, Xiao Guifei and Yang Huijun are back and forth, and Xiao Lingwei listened silently on the side.

On the other side, the emperor summoned Xiao Lin as usual? Speak.

"Recently, the ministers have brought up the matter of establishing the prince again, what does Xiao Aiqing think about this matter?"

Xiao Lin? replied calmly: "Your Majesty is in good health, and he is in his prime, so the matter of establishing a prince can be considered in the long run." ”

The emperor asked again: "All the ministers have recommended the five princes to enter the East Palace, what does Xiao Aiqing think about the five princes?" ”

Xiao Lin? thought for a while: "According to the rules of the ancestors, there is a successor, but there is no concubine in the middle palace at the moment." The three princes were exiled, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest teeth, the five princes should enter the East Palace. ”

He paused for a moment, and then changed his words: "However, the fifth prince is more than intelligent, benevolent and self-serving, and he is not the best candidate for the crown prince at present." ”

The Emperor was silent.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, Xiao Lin? couldn't help but sweat for himself in his heart, he didn't want to show his attitude, but when the emperor asked, he had to be honest, otherwise he would be a bully.

Besides, over the years, the emperor often called him to speak, that is, because he dared to speak out.

But this time, it's hard to say.

I don't know how long it has been, Xiao Lin? 's back was soaked with cold sweat, and the emperor said slowly: "You go and pick up your wife and daughter to go home." ”

Xiao Lin? Quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister retired." ”

Not far away, a small eunuch quietly left.

——

"Did he really say that?"

The eunuch nodded: "This is Lord Xiao's original words, word for word." ”

The fifth prince stretched his face and looked angry: "He dared to say this, it was really fatal." ”

"You go back first, and then you will inform me as soon as there is any news."

"Yes." The eunuch left.

The five princes immediately summoned the people of the Fuzhong Gate to discuss this matter.

"I don't want to see this person again, what do you say?"

A triangular eyed strategist said fiercely, "Then kill him." ”

Immediately, someone stood up and retorted: "No, Xiao Lin? occupies an important position in His Majesty's heart, not to mention that he is also backed by the Xiao Mansion and the Yang Mansion, his daughter is newly promoted to the county lord, just when he is favored, if he dies at this time, then His Majesty will definitely investigate it strictly.

"When the time comes, everything that the master has worked so hard to do will be ruined."

Triangle Eye was not convinced: "As long as it is done neatly, what is there to fear?"

"Wouldn't it be a waste of time to look ahead and look ahead at everything you do?"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the fifth prince, these words were very much to his taste, and he should be interrupted, and he would suffer from it.

With the two of them at the beginning, everyone else also expressed their opinions, but most of the strategists still agreed with Triangular Eyes.

In the end, the fifth prince made a final decision: "Okay, let's do what Mr. Ji wants, give you two days, and make a foolproof plan for me." ”

——

Xiao Lin? On this day, I returned to the house and said to Yang Huijun: "I always feel that someone is following me in the past two days. ”

Yang Huijun was shocked: "Didn't you offend someone?" ”

Xiao Lin? replied: "I'm not supervising the imperial history, and I haven't impeached the minister, who can I offend?" ”

"Then no one will follow you for no reason, and if you think about it, have you done anything you shouldn't have done recently, or said something you shouldn't have said? You must have offended someone by inadvertently. ”

Xiao Lin? I thought about it seriously, "No, you said it inadvertently, how can I remember?" ”

Yang Huijun choked, and then said: "In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you will go out with a few more people." ”

"Well, listen to Madame."

——

The emperor called Lu Mian and asked, "What has been the movement of the five princes recently?" ”

Lu Mian replied: "In the past few days, my subordinates have discovered a strange thing.

"For some reason, the fifth prince suddenly sent someone to follow Lord Xiao, and it was like this for several days."

The emperor's heart moved, "Which Lord Xiao?" ”

"Lord Xiao Hanlin."

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he ordered: "Send people to keep an eye on the five princes, and in addition, send more people to protect Xiao Hanlin." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."
