Chapter 009: Secret Mission

Let's say that when Zhilan was eating moon cakes, she heard her brother reciting Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", and she couldn't help but cry out in shock. Guanyun turned his head to look at his sister, but saw that her little face was full of horror.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Guanyun asked with concern.

Zhilan immediately came back to her senses, coughed twice, picked up the cup and took a sip of water before stroking her chest and said, "The mooncakes are so delicious, I choked on ......"

Mrs. Lin hurriedly stroked her daughter's back and said, "This kid can choke on something he eats...... Guanyun continues to compose your poems, with a good opening and a very emotional atmosphere. ”

Guanyun smiled: "Actually, I didn't make this poem. Zhilan's ears moved very quickly, and she could only hear Guanyun continue, "Strange to say, two years ago, I accidentally saw a broken piece of paper in the backyard, on which a few lines of poetry were written, just those few lines. The characters seem to be written on charcoal, but the paper is excellent rice paper, the same as the paper used at home. ”

Mrs. Lin took a piece of snack and said, "This is strange. What's written on that back? ”

"There's nothing behind it, and it seems that these few sentences have been written, as if they haven't been finished."

"Goo-du-du", Zhilan's heart fell back into her chest from her throat again. Then she remembered that the piece of paper was the work of her two-year-old life. One afternoon, I was extremely bored, so I took the charcoal used by Mrs. Lin to draw her eyebrows on the paper, and wrote down these words. Later, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I tore it up and threw it away, not wanting to be picked up by my brother. After such a long time, I forgot about it, and I mistakenly thought that Guanyun was also a person who wore the same clothes, which was so shocked. You can't make such a low-level mistake in the future, Zhilan shook her head as she thought.

"What is Lan'er thinking, shaking her head?" Mrs. Lin asked with a smile.

"Oh...... Lan'er also wants to write poetry...... Belch...... The fifteenth moon is full and round...... Uh, it's over. ”

"Hahahaha!" Both Mrs. Lin and Guanyun burst out laughing at her. The small courtyard is full of laughter, the osmanthus in the courtyard is sweet and pleasant, fluttering with the wind, so warm and comfortable!

At this moment, Lin Mubai stepped into Xiangyuan.

Zhilan glanced at her father keenly, and when she saw that his face was gloomy and his steps were heavy, she felt "chuckled" in her heart, feeling bad.

Lin Mubai walked over and sat down at the stone table, but he was speechless.

"Is something going on in the palace?" Seeing him like this, Mrs. Lin asked with concern.

Lin Mubai hugged Zhilan in his arms, and replied to his wife while rubbing her head: "Someone in the palace poisoned the emperor and tried to rebel. ”

"Ahh The three of them couldn't help but exclaim. "What about the emperor?" Mrs. Lin asked eagerly.

"The emperor has nothing to do." Lin Mubai gritted his teeth a little when he said this, as if he wished that something would happen to the emperor.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little puzzled and said, "Since the emperor has nothing to do, why is the husband worried?" Without waiting for an answer, she herself seemed to remember something, and asked hurriedly, "Is this the White Lotus Sect's doing?" ”

"Eighty percent."

“…… Has the emperor condemned you? Mrs. Lin asked, staring straight at her husband.

Lin Mubai glanced at his wife deeply, and said helplessly: "It's a ...... Yes...... It's the princess. ”

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a while, sighed deeply and said, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, as expected. ”

The Guanyun on the side heard it in the clouds, but Zhilan knew it in her heart.

She had long heard that the White Lotus Sect's lair was in the Suzhou area, and it was all over the south of the Yangtze River when it was most active. It was not until more than four years ago that it was destroyed by the government in one fell swoop and has disappeared since then. And that was when Lin Mubai returned to Beijing from Suzhou. Therefore, Zhilan speculated that his official position in Suzhou was likely to be just a cover, and his real mission should be to secretly visit Suzhou and then wipe out the White Lotus Sect. Now that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have fled to the capital, the emperor must be very dissatisfied with this, and he just took the opportunity to condemn him and stuff the troublesome Princess Mingyue to him. Thinking of this, Zhilan's heart was full of powerlessness. In this era of imperial power, being a courtier is so helpless.

On a full moon night, the four members of the Lin family were speechless.

In the past few days, the people of the Lin Mansion have been very busy coming in and out, and the houses are lit up everywhere, and the big red happy words are pasted on the doors. But there was a dull atmosphere in the whole house, and everyone was silent, just doing things in silence.

The emperor has decreed to the world that Princess Mingyue will marry Lin Mansion. The people of the Manchu Dynasty were very envious of Lin Mubai, thinking that a small ceremonial man could marry a beautiful princess as a concubine, and it was really a green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

In the afternoon of this day, Guanyun and Zhilan were practicing calligraphy in the study, and suddenly Guanyun threw away the pen irritably and said to himself: "Why does Dad want to marry again?" Why? ”

Zhilan sighed, sure enough, she was still a child, and she finally couldn't help it. At the age of four, she comforted her brother and said, "I heard that she is a concubine!" Fu Niang said that the concubine has no status~"

Her comfort had little effect. Guanyun just shook his head and said, "You don't understand, you don't understand." ”

At this time, Lin Mubai stepped into the study and saw that a pair of children were there, and he couldn't help but feel a lot better. He was about to step forward to get closer, but saw Guanyun turn his head away and only stare at the ground. Zhilan knew that the bell had to be tied to the bell, so she stepped forward and took Lin Mubai's hand and said, "My brother just asked my father why he wanted to marry again!" ”

Lin Mubai sighed, stepped forward and half-squatted down, turned him around with both hands on Guanyun's body, and said to him solemnly: "Yun'er, this is the emperor's order, and my father has to obey." ”

Zhilan disagreed. Didn't the emperor give the order because the princess liked you? Who made you so gentle and polite to a nymphomaniac girl? Deserve!

Thinking of this, Zhilan also complained a little in her heart, and couldn't help but burst out: "In this case, why don't you go to accompany your mother?" There are only a few days left of the peaceful days in our house. Before she finished speaking, she regretted it and just wanted to smack herself in a big mouth. Is this what a four-year-old said?!

Lin Mubai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his daughter in a daze.

Zhilan, who was in a hurry, pursed her mouth and made an awkward look and said, "Fu Niang, they all said that there will be no peaceful days in the house in the future. ”

"Huh!" Lin Mubai laughed, as if she was amused by her little adult-like words. "Yun'er Lan'er, don't worry, Dad only has you in his heart." Seeing that Zhilan glanced at him, she hurriedly added, "And your mother." ”

Before the words fell, Mrs. Lin walked in from outside the door, her face was pale, Lin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her and said, "Of course, the lady is the first~~"

Mrs. Lin laughed out loud, pushed her husband away and said angrily: "There is no big or small ...... in front of the child" Guanyun and Zhilan left the study hand in hand.

In the study, Lin Mubai was pulling the lady's watch and said with a white heart: "Su Qing, don't worry, since the emperor made her a concubine, he gave three points." You don't have to be afraid of her status as a princess, she is a concubine in our Lin Mansion. As for me, you should be more reassured. How can a woman like her be compared to you? ”

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "In that case, why are you depressed these days?" ”
