Chapter 121: In full swing
The drizzle was sprinkled all day, and the cold air had already lingered in the whole capital, and the people who came and went hurriedly walked into their homes without raising their heads, for fear that they would be arrested if they accidentally said the wrong thing, because when someone was talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early this morning, they were arrested by the people of the government.
The capital was rumored for a while.
Lord Luo closed the door of the mansion, and only then did he look at the people who had been 'caught' in the morning, and his heart hung up: "Why are you back?" "Early in the morning, he was going to see Xu Boshan, but halfway through, he heard him asking someone about the prince, where can he discuss the prince's affairs with people on the street now?
"I heard the rumors, and I really didn't feel at ease, so I rushed back alone." The former Wang Yushi, now Wang Pingzhang is dressed in blue and gray cloth, standing on one side with gray hair and worrying.
He had returned to the countryside with his family, but he happened to hear a passing merchant mention the capital, and he had a bad premonition, so he rushed back alone.
Lord Luo sighed softly, pulled him to sit down before shaking his head and saying, "I'm afraid it's really hard to talk about this time." ”
"What's wrong?"
"It's the emperor who ......" Lord Luo sighed heavily, he can be regarded as an old minister who has followed the emperor for many years, he was wrongfully rebelled before, and the emperor didn't believe in himself at all, he only became the emperor or the wise emperor before, but now what he does looks like a narrow-minded villain, he only has that bit of power in his eyes, and he doesn't even care about the affection of his children.
Wang Pingzhang's face tightened slightly, and when Lord Luo saw this, he still quietly told him the situation: "This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go out, but I am afraid that it will be more auspicious." And the crown princess was placed under house arrest in the mansion, even the former son of General Lin Shao was also dismissed, and was left at home by the emperor to recuperate, and resigned from his position, Yan'er was even taken to the prince's mansion. ”
"This ...... How could the emperor do this? Has the emperor been bewitched? Wang Pingzhang didn't believe it, he followed the emperor for so many years, he witnessed him from the prince to the emperor, and then expanded the small country of the Jin Dynasty into a prosperous and prosperous country today, it stands to reason that the Jin Dynasty has been in this gas for hundreds of years, how could he be so confused, and use such methods to destroy the foundation of the Jin Dynasty?
Lord Luo couldn't say clearly, since the last time he was imprisoned, he had long lost his previous enthusiasm, and only said: "Pingzhang, I'll send you out of the city in a while, you just don't come." ”
"How can I go, Yan'er, she still ......"
"Didn't you ignore her a long time ago?" Lord Luo asked rhetorically. At the beginning, Ru Yan got married and ran away from other hospitals, and she didn't see them coming to send her, so she married alone, and even left Beijing on the day she returned home.
When Wang Pingzhang heard his question, he was full of indebtedness, but his son and daughter, he owed both of them, and now that his son is gone, he has an old bone, if he can exchange his daughter's safety, it will be counted.
"You can prepare, I want to meet Master Xu later." Wang Pingzhang thought for a while and said.
"Don't see Major General Lin?"
Wang Pingzhang looked outside the house full of cold rain, and sighed: "Let's talk about it later." ”
When the wind blows at the end of autumn, the yellow leaves of the trees are swept down, and the drizzle hits the paper umbrellas, which is delicate and silent, but unconsciously wets the clothes of the people walking.
The emperor was talking about something with a Taoist priest-like person in the study, and when he saw that Gonggong An had already come in, he immediately sank his face: "Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to come in without passing the word?" ”
Gonggong An hurriedly put down the folding umbrella, knelt down and said respectfully: "The slave doesn't know ...... emperor you are in the flower hall."
"Okay, what are you going to do?" The Emperor was a little impatient.
Gonggong An's palms tightened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief before he said: "It is His Royal Highness King Jing who has returned to Beijing, and now he has gone to King Jing's Mansion, and he will come to greet you in a while." ”
"He's back suddenly?" The emperor's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at the Taoist priest beside him, and the Taoist priest understood, nodded and retreated.
As soon as he left, the emperor turned around and walked towards Gonggong An, and said coldly: "When did he enter Beijing?" ”
Father-in-law An hurriedly said: "Early this morning." ”
"He has come above board, and he dares to disobey my will like this?" The Emperor snorted coldly.
Grandpa An didn't dare to speak out.
After a while, the emperor finally said: "That's it, since he is here, he ordered to go down, prepare the carriage and horses, and immediately drive back to the palace." "King Jing is back, and the King of the Southwest is already not far from the capital.
After Gonggong An was supposed to be, he quietly raised his eyes and looked, and found that the corner of the emperor's lips actually had a slight sneer, his liver trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"That's right......" The emperor glanced at Father-in-law An, and his eyes were deep: "The Queen Mother has been bored for a long time, since the prince is no longer in the palace, she took the princess and Mrs. Lin into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother." ”
Father-in-law An knew that he still refused to let Lin Jinwen go, so he had to respond.
Xiong Linyu stood at the corner of the corridor, listening to the emperor's orders from a distance, and the hand holding the handkerchief slowly tightened.
Lin Jinwen got up early and didn't eat anything, she vomited, as if after confirming her pregnancy, this morning sickness reaction became more and more intense.
Ah Bao worriedly helped her sit on the side, looked at her slightly pale face, and said, "Crown Princess, why don't you send Imperial Doctor Lu to take a look." ”
"Don't bother, let someone prepare some sour plum cakes." Lin Jinwen said, there was no taste in her mouth, so she wanted to eat something sour.
When Ah Bao heard this, his eyes lit up: "Could it be that there are two boys in the belly?" ”
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "How do you know?" ”
"Sour and spicy girl......"
"That's because I never eat spicy food, what if it's two daughters?" Lin Jinwen looked at her with a smile.
Ah Bao was embarrassed, thought for a while, and then said: "The two daughters are good, they are as good-looking and smart as the crown princess, then our prince has earned it." ”
Lin Jinwen was amused by her chuckle, her appetite seemed to be better, and after sending her to get the sour plum cake, she drank a small half bowl of porridge before breakfast.
Soon after breakfast, Grandpa An came.
Lin Jinwen listened to him and sighed slightly: "It's time to come." ”
Gonggong An looked at her calmly, and said worriedly: "Crown Princess, the emperor asked you to enter the palace with Young Lady Lin." ”
"I knew it would be like this." The emperor excused himself to stay in the prince's mansion in order to control himself openly, and also drew the attention of the king of the southwest to the prince, and now that Zhao Kan has returned to Beijing, he naturally knows that the king of the southwest must be outside the city, and the attention is also on him, where is the palace safe in the prince's mansion.
"What then? When you go in this time, I'm afraid it's hard to get out. "Grandpa An is worried.
"The palace is not impregnable." Lin Jinwen smiled at him: "Isn't there another one by the emperor's side?" ”
"You are still joking with the minions, the minions are not joking, this time you enter the palace, and the prince is not here, you will really be in danger." Father-in-law An saw that she was still not in a hurry, and became more and more anxious.
Lin Jinwen is not in a hurry, but the emperor's holy decree is not something she can violate in a hurry, even if she dies here today, the emperor will find a way to carry her body in. Instead of rushing, think of ways to deal with it. And in the palace, in addition to Grandpa An, there is also Xiong Linyu.
She quickly had her things packed, and in a short time the Emperor gave the order to set off.
Wang Ruyan was afraid that something would happen to Lin Jinwen, so she insisted on riding in the same carriage with her, and she followed closely when she walked, but Mo Feng and Mo Xue were deliberately left outside the palace by the emperor and not allowed to be brought in.
After Ah Bao knew that he was the only one who was by Lin Jinwen's side, his eyes did not stop turning, and he looked like he had a long way to go, with a serious face.
After entering the palace, Lin Jinwen was still arranged in the side hall of the Queen Mother, but this time the Queen Mother did not see her again, only arranged someone to take care of her, and never showed up.
Lin Jinwen stood at the door of the palace, glanced at the familiar Sifang Tian, and then looked at the lonely appearance in the autumn harem, her heart was heavy, I don't know what happened to Huaiyan now, whether she received the news sent by herself......
"Jin Wu, it's cold outside." Wang Ruyan came from behind and put on a cloak for her.
"It's okay." Lin Jinwen smiled lightly, looking at her with worry in her eyes, and chuckled: "My brother will take care of himself, he has been on the battlefield for so many years, but he is not as delicate as us." Lin Jinwen laughed lightly.
When Wang Ruyan heard this, she smiled reluctantly.
The two were talking this, when suddenly there was a trotting sound from under the corridor, Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at it, her eyes were slightly bright, how could she forget that he was still there.
"Jin's wife!" Ling Weiye trotted over and saw her standing under the porch watching the rain, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.
"Little King." Lin Jinwen looked at him with a smile, he still looked like a child, but he was a lot calmer, after all, he suffered such blows one after another, and it was difficult to grow up.
Although Ling Weiye is young, he grew up with Duan Hui since he was a child, and he is familiar with it, and he does not understand these things in the capital.
Seeing the palace maids and eunuchs standing around, he said, "You all stand down, I want to talk to the crown princess, I don't want you to hear it." ”
"But the emperor ordered ......"
"That's how you want to eavesdrop on me?" Ling Weiye said angrily: "Don't go down yet, don't blame me for doing it!" "Ling Weiye's previous domineering name is still rumored in the palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs glanced at each other, then bowed and retreated, but soon went to the emperor to complain.
Ling Weiye also knew, but he didn't care, he didn't believe that the emperor could let him die after seeing his mother die.
He said to Lin Jinwen: "You can rest assured that you live in the palace, and I will protect you." ”
Wang Ruyan laughed when she heard this, but Ling Weiye swore an oath.
Lin Jinwen also laughed, no matter what, it would be easier to have one more person of her own in the palace.
The news was quickly sent to the emperor, and when the emperor heard this, he did not take a child into account: "Let him go." After the emperor sent the people away, he asked, "King Jing went to see the abolished concubine?" ”
"Yes." Father-in-law An responded.
The emperor put down the pen and looked gloomily outside the hall, before he got up and walked out.
After Zhao Kan entered the palace, he did not go directly to see the emperor, but came to see Concubine De first, but the abandoned palace where Concubine De was located was really not as good as Yonghe Palace, although the palace people were quite attentive in Zhao Kan's face, but they could not compare to the previous ones.
Concubine De was wearing an old dress, and when she saw Zhao Kan coming, she sent all the palace people away with a shelf, and then said to him painfully: "I was wrong, I shouldn't believe your father's ......."
"Mother." Zhao Kan frowned and looked at her a little crazy.
"I shouldn't believe her, I shouldn't have brought the Xiong family to the capital, I shouldn't ......" Concubine De said to herself, Xiong Linyu stood behind from afar, hearing these words, it was as if someone had inserted a knife in her heart, and she was dripping with blood.
Zhao Kan knew what she wanted to say, so she only said: "Mother, don't think about these things anymore, now that the matter is now, there is no room for return, my uncle has already arranged it outside the city, just waiting for King Qin." Speaking of King Qin, he was a little excited. I thought that I could go and kidnap Jin Wu first when I came back, but I never thought that my father would keep looking at her, and even brought him back to the palace, so that he didn't have a chance at all.
"King Qin?" Concubine De grabbed his hand nervously: "Do you really want to do this?" ”
"Is it difficult for the mother concubine to bear it? Can't you see how he has treated you for so many years? If you don't do it again, you will be the next concubine to be given death. Zhao Kan said in a deep voice. He can see his father's ruthlessness clearly, but he also admires him, he can be so ruthless, and he can hold all the power in his hands, so that he can be regarded as the real supreme emperor! has absolute power of life and death, which makes his blood boil more and more.
Concubine De looked at him, stunned for a long time, and then sat back in a daze, looking at this dilapidated cold palace, thinking about the cold reception during this time, and closed her eyes: "What do you want the mother to do?" ”
"It's very simple, the mother concubine only needs to ......" Before Zhao Kan's words were finished, he heard Xiong Linyu's voice of peace.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Xiong Linyu's voice was not small.
Zhao Kan immediately stopped his voice and turned around, and the emperor had already walked in.
The emperor glanced at Xiong Linyu, who was standing on the side respectfully, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Isn't it true that Concubine Ai has never liked to salute, but I have promised you the privilege of not having to salute when you see me." ”
Xiong Linyu didn't dare to speak out, she knew that she could always be proud of the emperor's favor, but if she really angered the emperor, regardless of this favor, her life might not be saved.
Seeing that she was silent, the emperor stopped looking at her and looked up into the cold palace.
Zhao Kan hurriedly walked out and saluted: "Erchen has seen his father. ”
"King Jing is really rare to have filial piety, and he came to see the waste concubine." The Emperor smiled.
"The mother concubine is the biological mother of the son-in-law, even if she makes a big mistake, this blood relationship will not be cut." Zhao Kan said.
"Really? If I really killed your mother, wouldn't you still hate me? The Emperor raised his tone and said.
Zhao Kan hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare the sons and daughters resent their fathers. My father does things, and I want to have my father's own reason......"
"That's right, I'm thinking about it. But don't worry, although your mother killed Concubine Li, for your sake, I will spare her life. The Emperor said.
What he said seemed to give Zhao Kan a face, but Zhao Kan didn't appreciate it, the emperor left his mother and concubine for his life, mostly because the king of the southwest was already about to come to the city, and he wanted to keep his mother and concubine in his hands as a hostage.
Before Zhao Kan could speak, Concubine De had already rushed out, standing in the drizzle and looking at the indifferent emperor in front of him and Xiong Linyu who was following him, and sneered: "The emperor has come to see the concubine?" ”
The emperor looked at the woman in front of him, she was a lot older, and her eyes also had fine lines, she used to be the most lively and smiling, but now why is she still smiling, but she doesn't like it like this?
"Hello, stay in the cold palace and repent." After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Kan: "As the king of Jing, you returned to Beijing without permission this time, I can not worry about you, but the abolished concubine will not have to come to see it in the future." After speaking, he turned around and saw Xiong Linyu, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai seems to be in a bad mood, so let's go back to the palace with me, I have a new golden hairpin, which is very suitable for you." ”
Xiong Linyu knew that he was doing this on purpose, but he still obeyed and saluted, and when he thought that the emperor raised his hand, he directly took her hand and pulled her out.
Zhao Kan couldn't stay longer, and followed out of the cold palace, but before he went out, there were painful scolding and cries in the cold palace.
He looked at the emperor in front of him, who was scheming even about this matter, and his heart sank slightly.
"Father, the son wants to go and say hello to the Queen Mother." After walking for a while, Zhao Kan suddenly said.
The emperor saw through his mind at a glance and smiled lightly: "No need, Queen Mother Qingxiu, you don't have to bother." You just went back to Beijing today, and you're tired, so go home. With that, he took Xiong Linyu and walked away.
Zhao Kan looked at his back as he left, his fists clenched to the bone.
He turned his head and was about to leave, when a figure suddenly walked out of the corner of the corridor: "Your Highness wants Lin Jin's wife?" ”
Zhao Kan looked back and saw the person who spoke, and his eyes became playful: "You are ......"
"Concubine." Xue Wenxin reported to his home.
Zhao Kan's lips raised, although he didn't remember this face, but he knew the name: "Lao Jiu is dead, and you have no way out?" ”
Xue Wenxin ignored his sarcasm, and only said: "It depends on whether the prince wants to be a person, if he wants to, then I don't want to go to no way, right?" ”
"You are wise, but how can this king believe you? After all, you didn't do Lao Jiu any favor......"
"The prince doesn't believe it, tonight under the pretext of going to see King Xuan who stayed in the palace, don't leave the palace, I will let you see people." Xue Wenxin said.
Zhao Kan glanced at her belly, which was already slightly bulging, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Since the concubine wants to help this king, it is better to do this king another favor." "I didn't have time to tell my mother, but she might be able to help.
The concubine didn't expect him to have other requirements, but now he can either find a way to live by himself, or wait for the tanuki to change the prince, but it is obvious that the chances of winning the road ahead are higher.
"Lord Wang, please speak."
The corners of Zhao Kan's mouth raised slightly, with the help of his concubine, his uncle's army would soon be able to kill for a legitimate reason, and there was also a waste Xuan King in the palace......
After Lin Jinwen sent Ling Weiye away in the afternoon, she took a nap, but when she woke up from this sleep, it was dark.
Po was waiting on one side, and after she sat up, she felt hungry, and after eating something more, she asked, "Ru Yan is also resting?" ”
"The young lady was invited away by her concubine in the afternoon, and she hasn't come back yet." Abao said.
Lin Jinwen's heart tightened: "Why don't you remind me?" ”
Ah Bao saw that she was anxious, so she explained: "The concubine is here with great fanfare, and she looks at her attitude very well, and the slave thinks it's okay, so she ......."
"It's all over this and hasn't come back yet, even if she doesn't want to harm Ru Yan, she is still fighting some bad ideas." Lin Jinwen didn't believe Xue Wenxin at all, and after thinking about it, she got up directly and went to the palace of her concubine.
Although the emperor asked people to watch her, he did not restrict her freedom, and soon she arrived in the palace of the concubine, but Wang Ruyan was not seen.
Xue Wenxin knew that she would definitely come, and when she saw her, she got up and chuckled: "Why is the crown princess here, she is still pregnant with a child in her belly, the road is slippery in the dark, but be careful." ”
"I don't care, I heard that Ru Yan came to the Niangniang Palace before, and I saw that she hadn't gone back for a long time, so I came to see if she was greedy for the refreshments here and refused to go back to accompany me." Lin Jinwen also had a false relationship with her, but this palace was very calm, it didn't look like she was hiding someone, and she wouldn't have the courage to kidnap Ru Yan if she thought about it, but what about Ru Yan?
When Xue Wenxin heard this, he only smiled lightly: "Then it's unfortunate that you came, before you, Young Lady Lin just left." But when she left, she said that you like fresh flowers, and now you may have gone to the Imperial Garden, and planned to pick a few fresh flowers for you. ”
"Imperial Garden......" Lin Jin's eyebrows furrowed, the emperor likes to go to that place the most, the rain outside has stopped, and the emperor is there. Although he is old, he can forcibly take over his niece, and I don't know if he will do anything to Yan'er......
Thinking like this, she immediately said goodbye, and when she left, she deliberately turned her head and said to Xue Wenxin: "Ru Yan is the eldest daughter-in-law of my Lin family, if she has an accident because she came to Niangniang, the Lin family will definitely not give up!" ”
Xue Wenxin didn't expect her face to change so quickly, so she only smiled lightly: "If something happens, I will definitely go to the emperor in person to ask for guilt." ”
Seeing her attitude, Lin Jinwen felt more and more that there was a ghost in the imperial garden, so she turned around and hurried away with someone.
As soon as she left, Xue Wenxin's chin was slightly raised, and she said coldly to the people around her: "Go to the side hall and put Wang Ruyan back." ”
"Yes." The palace maid hurriedly answered. When leaving, he also glanced at Lin Jinwen's hurried back, in fact, Mrs. Lin had been left in the side hall by her concubine to drink tea, and she had never gone out at all.
Lin Jinwen didn't know this, she didn't have anyone in the palace, and the news was blocked, and now that the tortured Ru Yan was about to have an accident, she was even more anxious, but before stepping into the imperial garden, someone finally stopped her.
Lin Jinwen looked at the approaching palace maid and was puzzled: "...... are you?"
"The slave is serving in the palace of the concubine, and you are in a hurry when you leave, and you don't know if you have a hairpin." The palace maid said, smiled and presented a hairpin, which was a plum blossom temporary.
Ah Bao thought about it, the crown princess didn't wear a plum hairpin at all today.
She was about to speak, but Lin Jinwen took the hairpin herself and said with a smile: "I'm tired of you." ”
"The crown princess is polite, this is the duty of the slave. If the black road is slippery today, the crown princess must be careful when walking. With that, he glanced at her, saluted and hurried away.
Lin Jinwen looked at the plum hairpin, plum ...... No ......, could it be that Ru Yan is not in the Imperial Garden at all?
She turned her head to look at the place that was close at hand, her heart sank slightly, but Ah Bao suddenly carried the lantern and said forward: "Oh, the palace maid's veil has fallen off." ”
Lin Jin's eyes looked at the veil, as if it was Ru Yan's. Looking at the direction in which the palace maid left, he suddenly understood the hint of the palace maid, and said, "Return to the palace immediately." ”
Ah Bao was puzzled: "Then let's not look for the young lady?" ”
"The young lady is mostly fine." The palace maid is the one who Huaiyan once stayed in the palace. Thinking about Xue Wenxin's reaction, he had no fear, if it wasn't for the emperor's order behind his back, Yan'er would be fine at all. But now that the emperor wants to use Yan'er and himself to control the Lin family and the crown prince, how can he act rashly? If you really care, it's messed up!
Lin Jinwen didn't stay for a moment, and immediately walked away, and at this time, there were indeed people in the dark imperial garden, staring at her tightly until she was far away.
He walked out from behind the rockery, looking at the back of him leaving, the smile in the eyes of the yin owl became more and more vigorous, after a long time, her whole person changed, and her whole body was full of attractive breath, which made people can't help but want to come forward to pick.
Lin Jinwen, you escaped today, can you still escape in the future? You're mine sooner or later!
When Lin Jinwen returned to the palace, Wang Ruyan was really there, and she had just come back, and it was nonsense to go to the imperial garden to pick flowers, but after the two of them told their respective situations, they were in a cold sweat.
"It's a good thing you didn't go, and I don't know what is in the garden." Wang Ruyan was afraid, but what was even more chilling was that she thought that she was asking for self-protection for the sake of her child, and it seemed that her self-protection method was to kill Jinwu.
"We're going to have to be more careful in the future." Now that the situation is becoming more and more tense, if one is not careful, it may be doomed.
Wang Ruyan nodded solemnly, but looking at this oppressive and closed palace, her mind had already drifted to her beloved, just thinking about him, the big stone pressed in her heart seemed to be lighter.
Lin Jincheng was also thinking about her in the palace at the moment, but his situation was more difficult.
Because he 'accidentally' fell from his horse, even though he had a strong physical recovery ability, he still couldn't bear it and was stabbed in the back with a knife after falling off the horse.
Now I can sit in Xu's Mansion, all thanks to Mohua.
"Jincheng, are you still worried?" Wang Pingzhang looked at the people who were constantly looking out and asked.
"Hmm." How could Lin Jincheng not be worried, Ru Yan and Jin Yan are both women, and they have no power to restrain the chicken, and it is extremely dangerous to enter the palace this time, and the emperor insists on going his own way, and I don't know if he will do anything to them.
Xu Boshan glanced at him and said, "Jincheng, now is not the time to worry, I have already asked someone to send the letter sent by Jinwen to the prince before, it depends on whether the prince can receive it, and the most important thing for us now is to think about how to take Jinwen and Ru Yan out of the palace." ”
"That's right, it's really dangerous to keep them in the palace, not to mention that the crown princess is still pregnant with a child in her belly." Lord Luo also followed to the side.
Lin Jincheng pondered for a long time, and said: "The emperor said that he would not let them out, and the palace was iron-clad, I am afraid that there will be no ......such opportunity."
Yuan Shao, who had been sitting inside like a transparent person, suddenly spoke: "There is a way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Take the princess of the southwest and exchange the princess and the young lady with the Yu nobles." Yuan Shao said: "The princess of the southwest has been detained in the city, and the defense is relatively loose, and the prince's mansion will definitely be able to bring people out, but what matters now is how to enter the palace to negotiate this condition with Yu Guiren." ”
"I'll go!"
Xu Zhaozhao was eavesdropping outside, and when he heard this, he finally pushed open the door and walked in.
When everyone saw her, they all frowned.
Yuan Shao thought it was a good way, but he didn't feel at ease, Zhao Zhao was simple and occasionally a little reckless, and let her go, for fear of danger.
Lin Jincheng even disagreed: "What if you are detained in it again, now the emperor does not have absolute trust in the Xu family." ”
"Besides me, who else can make the emperor lower his guard and help us?" Xu Zhaozhao asked rhetorically.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and for a while, Xu Boshan nodded in the end, and only looked at her solemnly: "Then you have to think about it, once something happens, we can't save you." ”
"Zhao Zhao understands!" Xu Zhaozhao said firmly, if she can't help after such a thing, it will be too useless.
Several people looked at each other and sighed. But after saying that, he didn't speak for long, and saw the little maid in the house hurriedly running over, and said, "Master, Miss Mofeng asked to see her, and she brought someone here." ”
"Who's bringing it?"
"It's the current Imperial Master Jiang." The little guy said.
Xu Boshan remembered that this new imperial history was indeed a talent, and he was promoted, and he made a lot of beautiful achievements, but didn't he never make friends? Although he had some friendship with his son Cheng Qing, it was not enough for him to wade into this troubled water for that friendship.
After thinking about it, he finally said, "Since it was attracted by Mo Feng, you lead them to the front hall to wait for me." Xu Boshan was still a little cautious, and he couldn't let Jiang Qingshu see them gathered together.
The little guy hurriedly went down, and Xu Boshan went forward alone.
By then, Jiang Qingshu was already standing in the front hall, and when he saw him coming, he saluted and said, "Lord Xu is worried about taking the crown princess out of the palace?" ”
"Master Jiang, you are ......" Xu Boshan was a little surprised when he saw him get straight to the point.
Mo Feng said on one side: "Lord Xu don't worry, the crown princess has been kind to Lord Jiang, and Lord Jiang is not the one who will take revenge." ”
Jiang Qingshu smiled lightly: "If the adults are willing to trust the lower officials, the lower officials have a plan to use." ”
Xu Boshan thought about it, and still said, "Master Jiang said." ”
"Now that King Jing has returned to the palace, I think that the King of the Southwest will do it soon. But the King of the Southwest has studied it below, and he likes to pay attention to the right name in everything he does, so this time King Jing came back for this name. He will definitely not carry the name of rebellion, so there is only one name left for the 'King of Qin' to bring troops into the city, Lord Xu thinks, who is the minister around the emperor who can let the king of the southwest send an army to 'Qin'? Jiang Qing wrote.
"This ......" Xu Boshan frowned, if he said so, it must be a person close to the emperor, but the emperor did not overly favor the minister, and even the eunuchs around him did not interfere in the affairs of the court, only the people who were related to the emperor's body and mind...... He paused, looked up at Jiang Qingshu and said, "Isn't it the current Jiangyang Dao Chief?" ”
"This person has always been trusted because he can refine the elixir that prolongs life, and the emperor has to eat the elixir he refined every day, coupled with the emperor's recent abnormality, if the king of the southwest says to the outside world that the Jiangyang Daoist has controlled the emperor with the elixir, most of the people will believe it, right?" Jiang Qingshu looked at him and said.
Xu Boshan looked at Jiang Qingshu's calm appearance, he was very surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Jiang Qingshu, a person who climbed from a commoner to the current position of the imperial history, could be so careful, and he would investigate the king of the southwest, which shows that it took a lot of thought.
"Then you mean, start with this Jiangyang Dao Chief?"
"The king of the southwest is already ready to move, it depends on how to open a hole in Jiangyang Daochang, as long as I let this matter reach his ears, he will definitely panic, and then I will use the bait to keep him, let him invite the emperor and send the princess and the young lady out of the palace." Jiang Qing wrote.
Mo Feng listened, but felt that it was somewhat feasible: "As soon as she leaves the palace, the crown princess must leave the prince's mansion immediately, and the Xu family and the Lin family are also in danger." ”
Xu Boshan is not worried about this: "I have not done anything unfavorable to Jiangshan Sheji, and the emperor is still worried about driving the Xu Mansion out of the capital before, and he will not easily attack the Xu family, but the Lin family, think of a way." ”
"Why didn't Major General Lin ask for orders to guard Mrs. Lin's grave for a few days? The emperor has no reason to refuse such things. Jiang Qingshu suggested.
Xu Boshan saw that he was already thoughtful, and nodded, but Ming'er Zhaozhao still had to enter the palace to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The Imperial Palace at this time.
When the day was about to dawn, the emperor got up, or he didn't sleep all night.
It was Xiong Linyu who slept yesterday, he sat up and looked at the indifferent people around him, and said coldly: "Are you still complaining about me?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Xiong Linyu got up and knelt on the ground.
"Don't dare?" The emperor snorted coldly, Gonggong An had already presented today's elixir, and after the emperor grabbed two pills and took them, he said coldly: "That's it, you can retreat." ”
Xiong Linyu didn't say much, saluted and turned around.
"Your father is coming soon, are you happy?" The emperor suddenly looked at her back and said.
Xiong Linyu's figure shook slightly, did not speak, and continued to go out.
Not long after she left, the emperor received the news that Xu Zhaozhao had asked him to enter the palace.
"Lord of Yongle County......" The emperor thought about the title he had given her, and laughed: "That's it, let her come if she wants to come, you don't have to come to see me, just let her go to see the crown princess." ”
Father-in-law An hurriedly responded.
However, the first person Xu Zhaozhao wanted to see when he entered the palace was not Lin Jinyu, but Xiong Linyu.
After Xiong Linyu returned to the palace, she took a bath for half an hour before she came out, and when she heard that the lord of Yongle asked to see her, she hesitated: "Why is she here?" Thinking of the only day in the Xu family, she was not really unwilling to marry the Xu family, but now it is too late.
"Say there's something important."
"Something important......" Xiong Linyu could guess her purpose at once, it was for Lin Jinyu: "Let her in." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Xu Zhaozhao was brought in.
Xu Zhaozhao was actually nervous, and when he saw Xiong Linyu, he said directly: "Noble Yu, I have something I want to say to you in private." ”
Xiong Linyu sat on the edge of the warm couch, listened to the sound of the cold wind blowing gently outside the window, raised his hand and sent the others away, and then said: "Lin Jinyu's matter, I can't help you, you came in vain." "My father will soon lead troops to kill him, even if he may not be able to live, where will he have the strength to help Lin Jinwen?
"Exchange the freedom of Madame Xiong for the freedom of the crown princess and my cousin." Xu Zhaozhao said directly, she knew that Xiong Linyu was not a ruthless person, otherwise she would not have been willing to teach her sword dancing when she first saw her.
Xiong Linyu's expression really stopped, and he turned his head to look at Xu Zhaozhao, his teeth tightened slightly.
After Lin Jinwen got up early, she ate a lot of sour plum cakes to make her stomach feel more comfortable, and even Wang Ruyan was surprised: "Eating these in the morning is not good for your body." ”
"They're cooked in porridge, so it's okay." Lin Jinwen was finally able to eat a good meal, and she was very happy.
Wang Ruyan shook her head helplessly, and after the two finished eating, she heard the rumors outside that the rain nobles and the county lord of Yongle had come over.
"Zhaozhao?" Lin Jinwen got up and walked out, and when she saw that it was really Zhaozhao, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her uncle and uncle had already figured out a way.
Xiong Linyu looked at the favored person in front of him, and envy arose.
Jiang Qingshu's actions were also going on, he didn't go back after the morning court, but went to the Imperial Medicine Academy, he knew that Daoist Jiangyang would personally go to the Imperial Medicine Institute every day to get some precious medicinal materials.
When he arrived, the Jiangyang Daoist was still selecting medicinal materials as before.
"Dao Chief." Jiang Qingshu walked over.
The goatee of this Jiangyang Taoist has turned gray, and he is also very humble and polite, with a fairy wind and bones, and when he saw him coming, he also smiled and returned the salute.
Jiang Qingshu saw him like this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he only hoped that he could help her this time, and he could repay his previous kindness.
"Does the Dao Chief know that the king of the southwest outside the city wants to use you as a reason to attack the imperial city?" Jiang Qingshu finished speaking in a low voice, and took out a note from his sleeve and gave it to him: "This is a way to save your life, whether you can be a master or not." Jiang Qingshu was sure that he would definitely do it, if he really understood the secret of immortality, how could he come to this palace to chase fame and fortune?
Jiang Qingshu looked at his hand that trembled slightly when he took the note, the corners of his mouth raised, and he turned to leave.
When he came out of the Imperial Medicine Courtyard, he saw King Jing who was already waiting, and he became more and more convinced, thinking that as soon as Jiang Yang came out and saw King Jing, he would also know what to do.
Daoist Jiangyang did know what to do, but after Jiang Qingshu left, he was not afraid, but calmly turned around and put the note on the stove next to him and burned it, and calmly left the Imperial Medicine Courtyard and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
This compartment.
Lin Jinwen and Xiong Linyu quickly discussed a way to get out of the palace, in fact, it was not difficult, it was just a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, quietly find someone to replace Lin Jinyu, and then transport the real person out of the palace, with Xiong Linyu's favor, it was not too difficult to do this, but their method was finalized, and the emperor's dictation came.
When Father-in-law An came to deliver the message, his hands trembled slightly.
Lin Jinwen looked at his nervous appearance and knew that the emperor must have had other ideas.
"Crown Princess, the emperor ordered you to leave immediately and go to the imperial mausoleum."
"Why?" Lin Jinwen was puzzled.
Father-in-law An only swallowed his saliva and said, "The prince died, so the princess ...... Funeral accompaniment. ”
"What!" Xu Zhaozhao exclaimed in surprise, even Xiong Linyu was surprised, the prince had only been out of the city for three days, maybe he hadn't reached a hundred miles away, how could he die?
Wang Ruyan looked at Lin Jinwen, whose face was pale, and stepped forward to support her with tears in her eyes: "Jin's ......"
Lin Jin's fists were clenched tightly, but her whole body couldn't stop trembling, she looked at the sad father-in-law An in front of her, and gritted her teeth: "The prince is not dead!" ”
"The body was already on its way, and it was said that it was ambushed halfway and unfortunately died." Gonggong An presented a piece of jade pendant that Zhao Huaiyan was carrying, and the jade pendant was broken.
Lin Jinwen felt that her stomach was starting to feel uncomfortable, she touched her stomach and tried to calm herself, but she was very sure that Huaiyan was not dead, he could not die so easily, and she would never believe that Huaiyan was dead until she saw Huaiyan's body with her own eyes!
But she didn't believe it, but the emperor's decree that she should be buried with her was made.
After Gonggong An finished delivering his will, a eunuch immediately came over: "Crown princess, the emperor allows you to live to the imperial tomb, please." ”
Lin Jinwen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, the emperor must have some purpose in doing this, she can't mess up, can't mess up......
"Give me half a moment, and I'll change my clothes." She tried to calm down.
"Time is urgent......
"It's me who is going to accompany the funeral, is it possible to become the prince of honor, don't you let me wear decent clothes to greet me!" Lin Jinwen said angrily for the first time.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, looked at Grandpa An, and Grandpa An nodded.
Lin Jinwen then pulled Wang Ruyan and Xu Zhaozhao to turn around and enter the room, since she can still live to the imperial tomb, she has a way to escape, she must go to Huaiyan in person! Moreover, the emperor suddenly issued such a holy decree, something must have happened, forcing him to send himself out immediately. But what is it?
