Lin You followed two steps, and the worry in his eyes brought out some of it, Lin Qingwan paused, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, you have been going home after getting off the government recently, and everything you can do for entertainment has been pushed." ◢ With *dream* small ◢.1a"

Lin You was startled, he finally knew why his aunt came back at this time, and seeing that she looked tired, he took a step back, bowed down and said, "Then aunt should rest first." ”

He turned around and went to the kitchen and arranged for someone to prepare hot food and hot water for them.

When Lin Qingwan washed up, before she had time to eat, the guards sent to the Four Princes' Mansion and Zhong Ruying's Mansion came back, and reported in a low voice: "The masters of the two mansions are not here, and it is the steward of the mansion who came out to answer the letter, and the little one asked them, and they didn't come out again after they entered the palace today." ”

Lin Qingwan's heart sank, and she waved her hand and said, "Go down and rest." ”

"Yes."

Yi Han gave her a bowl of rice and said in a low voice: "The news of your return to Beijing should have reached the palace at this time, so my aunt and grandmother should hurry up and have some rice." ”

It was because he was afraid that she would be summoned overnight.

Lin Qingwan took the bowl and sighed quietly, although she had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat it.

The news of Lin Qingwan's return to Beijing did spread to the palace, and the city gate was closed when she came back, and she was previously in charge of Jingnan Province, so she used this identity to enter the palace.

The soldiers defending the city will definitely report it, and it should have been handed over to the officials on duty at this time.

If they know, the people in the palace who should know will naturally know it.

Lin Qingwan silently used a meal and a soup, and was about to lean on the couch to rest when the palace attendant arrived.

Lin You and his wife had already gotten up, and since he got Lin Qingwan's words, he felt that it would not be very quiet tonight.

Sure enough, the chamberlain came to the door.

Lin You accompanied Lin Qingwan to see the chamberlain, and it was Gonggong Liu's apprentice who came, and he lowered his voice and said, "County Lord, Your Majesty has summoned, you and the little ones should enter the palace." ”

Lin Qingwan took the cloak handed over by Yi Han and asked, "Are there many people in the palace?" ”

Xiao Liu's father-in-law lowered his eyes and said, "Several Shangshu adults are here, but you are the only one missing." ”

The look on Lin Qingwan's face flashed, she pursed her lips, turned around and nodded to Lin You, and then only took Yi Han into the palace.

Xiao Liu's father-in-law glanced at Yi Han and didn't stop him, this time he brought a team of guards to come, and Lin Qingwan could only bring one person into the palace.

At this time, it was even more exposed, and the whole street was silent, and the wheels of the car ran over the bluestone slabs and made a gurgling sound.

The carriage stopped when it arrived at the city gate, Lin Qingwan changed the sedan chair and entered the palace, and Xiao Liu's father-in-law personally helped Lin Qingwan to get on the sedan chair. ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but hold his hand tightly, and Xiao Liu's father-in-law had already taken a step back as if unintentionally, hunched over and smiled: "County lord, please get on the sedan chair." ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at him before bending in.

The sedan chair was carried directly outside the emperor's bedroom, and Lin Qingwan got off the sedan chair and found that there were five steps and one post here, all of which were forbidden troops.

Yi Han was checked again, and after making sure that he did not carry weapons, he was taken to the tea room, where the subordinates served by the various masters stayed.

Lin Qingwan nodded slightly to him, and then followed Xiao Liu's father-in-law inside.

Before entering the outer hall, they saw several ministers waiting, they were not surprised to see Lin Qingwan, they bowed to her slightly, and Lin Qingwan replied silently.

Xiao Liu's father-in-law had already gone to the inner hall, and after a while, he came out and whispered, "Lord Lin, please." ”

Lin Qingwan hurriedly raised her foot to follow him.

There were two rows of chairs in the inner hall, Lu Zhen and the others were sitting on it and closed their eyes to recuperate, Lin Qingwan glanced up at the inner hall, and saw that the queen was leaning on the edge of the collapse, as if she was asleep, and the eldest princess and the fourth prince knelt on the foot of the dragon bed with the six princes, and there were the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital waiting on the side.

Lin Qingwan's footsteps were very soft, but the person who closed his eyes and recuperated still opened his eyes for the first time, and when he saw Lin Qingwan, everyone bowed slightly.

Zhong Ruying greeted her directly, and couldn't help choking with a mouthful, "You're back......"

Lin Qingwan nodded with a calm face and stepped forward to look at Emperor Liang.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but heat his eyes, and took two steps back.

The fourth prince raised his red eyes and raised his feet to get up, but he stumbled a little, but the sixth prince next to him helped him not to fall.

The fourth prince clapped his hands, walked to Lin Qingwan's side, and lowered his voice and said, "They said that you entered the city, and my father has been talking about wanting to see you, so I will let people announce that you have entered the palace." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, looking at the dragon bed and not moving, "Your Majesty, he ......"

The fourth prince's eyes were hot, and he whispered: "It's been two days of fasting, and we are guarding day and night, and we don't dare to leave." ”

Lin Qingwan suppressed the sourness in her heart, looked around the hall, and asked in a low voice, "Can you send someone to notify the Fifth Highness?" ”

The fourth prince pursed his lips slightly, and whispered: "He is a hostage in Shu, and now the news of his father's serious illness is still hidden from Shu, so I am afraid that they will make a move, so I ......"

Lin Qingwan's eyes were sharp, and she said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, the Shu State has only occupied half of the Chu State, I don't believe they have the spare strength to advance eastward again, our Jingnan Road has been initially stabilized, but the place they just laid is still in chaos." ”

"But inform the fifth brother at this time, and the fifth brother can't come back......"

"Whether he can rush back or not, His Majesty is seriously ill and must tell him that this is his right as a son of man," Lin Qingwan said in a low voice: "Otherwise, he will complain to you in the future." ”

The four princes were in their hearts, and Ren Shangshu and Di Shangshu also proposed to send someone to inform the fifth brother, but Min Shangshu and they all objected, because they were afraid that Shu would know about the chaos in the future.

So the news that Emperor Liang is seriously ill has always been blocked.

Lin Qingwan saw that he was panicked, so she reached out and patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Your Highness, you are not alone, you see in the palace, Your Majesty has left you so many capable ministers, what are you afraid of?" ”

Only then did the fourth prince take a deep breath and said, "Then I will send someone to inform the fifth brother." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Hurry up." ”..

The fourth prince nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing the two of them whispering, a few Shangshu couldn't help frowning, Min Shangshu relied on being familiar with Lin Qingwan, got up and paced over directly, and whispered: "The county lord is back, is the road going well?" ”

Lin Qingwan restrained her emotions and said with a light smile: "It's going well, but I heard that Your Majesty is seriously ill, and I am anxious." ”

Min Shangshu asked sensitively: "The county lord knows the news that His Majesty is seriously ill in advance?" ”

"I met Lord Ran on the way."

Min Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice: "The news that Your Majesty is seriously ill is still hidden, and the envoys of Shu are still in the capital." ”

Lin Qingwan took the opportunity to ask, "The war has subsided, and the two countries have divided the boundary according to the agreement, when will we take the five princes back?" ”

"This," Min Shangshu paused and then lowered his voice, "The Shu Kingdom hasn't sent someone to pick up their eldest prince yet." ”

Lin Qingwan's face sank and said, "If they don't come to pick them up, can't we send people back?" ”

"What the ministers mean is that if the two countries can send protons to each other, then the relationship will be more stable," Min Shangshu said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, if you are Your Majesty...... The girder can not withstand the turmoil. ”

"You've already discussed this?"

"Yes, the court has discussed it, and most of the courtiers agreed, even the envoys of Shu also have this tendency."

Lin Qingwan's face turned cold and asked, "What about Your Majesty, Your Majesty also knows?" ”

Min Shangshu didn't speak.

Lin Qingwan saw the shame flashing on his face, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and ask, "When did you discuss it?" Your Majesty has also gone to court? ”

Min Shangshu couldn't help but sigh, and whispered: "This is my fault, but Lord Lin, for the sake of the Great Liang, can only temporarily grieve the Fifth Highness." ”

Lin Qingwan gritted her teeth, flicked her sleeves and walked to the bed, and knelt silently beside the eldest princess.

The eldest princess glanced up at her, then looked away again, and just said in a low voice: "Father has been thinking about seeing you for the past few days. ”

It's just that she doesn't understand, so many people in the court are here, what does the father have to wait for Lin Qingwan to come back?

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and didn't speak.

The hall was quiet, no one knew what the four princes were doing when they came out of the palace, and now everyone's minds were focused on the emperor, so they didn't pay too much attention.

After the four princes returned, they knelt beside the six princes and silently guarded the emperor.

Until dawn broke, Zhong Ruying woke up Lin Qingwan and said in a low voice: "You go wash up and have some food, you will survive tonight." ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at Emperor Liang on the bed, exhaled, and helped Zhong Ruying's hand to get up, because her feet were numb, she stood for a while before she began to walk out.

Before he left the inner hall, a palace maid greeted him and said in a low voice: "The county lord comes with the slave maid." ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at her and recognized her as the palace maid next to the queen, so she followed her out.

The eldest princess turned her head to look at them, frowned slightly, and got up to follow, Zhong Ruying suddenly hugged her and said, "Eldest sister, I'll accompany you to dinner for a while, now let the Fourth Highness go first, and let the sixth sleep for a while." ”

The sixth prince had already been carried to the couch by the fourth prince and fell asleep, and the eldest princess looked down at her when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Lin Qingwan was taken to the side hall, the queen was sitting at the table with her head bowed, there were some porridge and steamed buns on the table, and when she saw Lin Qingwan, she beckoned and said, "You are tired all night, come and use some things." ”

"Yes." Lin Qingwan sat down beside the queen after saluting, and when she saw that her eyes were blue, she said softly: "Niangniang also has to take care of herself, Your Majesty must not want you to fall ill with you." ”

The queen laughed, looked down at the porridge in her hand, and said lightly: "He has lived for Daliang all his life, and the only time he has been favoritism twice, once for me." ”

The queen said softly: "My grandfather has the honor of being his chamberlain, and they have seen each other twice when they were young, Lin Gong, that is, your grandfather, the queen originally chosen for him is from the Cui family. ”

"Cui's family, a famous family, and military power, Your Majesty has the support of the Cui family, and then there is the Northeast Army given by your grandfather, then his throne is stable, but he wants to marry me, my grandfather is just a Hanlin waiter, and my father is only admitted to the Jinshi, saying that it is a scholarly family, but it is more than a star and a half worse than the Cui family."

Lin Qingwan said in a low voice: "Niangniang is very good, Your Majesty did not choose the wrong one." ”

The queen smiled bitterly, and said with a slight heat in her eyes: "It's still wrong, I failed to keep a son for Your Majesty, and let him work hard for a lifetime." ”
