The two sedan chairs stopped at the same time, and the sedan chair driver carefully put down the front stick, just like when Fan Jian and Chen Pingping met, and quietly retreated into the distance. The head of the sedan chair naturally leaned forward, and the person sitting in it should be very uncomfortable, but it was strange that neither the prime minister nor the person in the sedan chair came out to meet.

Therefore, the head of the sedan chair bows to each other, like two friends waving their hands to say hello, and like a couple of newcomers worshipping heaven and earth in front of the cave room.

"Ruofu, don't be too sad. A soft and weak voice finally sounded in the sedan chair opposite, and it turned out to be the eldest princess who went out of the palace in person to meet her lover many years ago!

Listening to this familiar voice, the prime minister in the sedan chair frowned slightly, as if he thought of what happened many years ago, and he said lightly: "The eldest princess cares about the affairs of the minister's family, and the minister is very grateful. ”

Hearing his words of rejection, the eldest princess's voice immediately became soft: "This is the difference between the lord and the minister...... How can you talk about it between you and me, and why do you speak so vigorously today? ”

A sneer came from the prime minister's sedan chair: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Ruofu is incompetent, but she doesn't want to be the dough kneaded at will in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The other sedan car fell silent, as if he didn't expect the other party to say such hurtful words, and only after a while did he respond sadly: "Ruofu, what do you mean by this? Although Gong'er is not my child, I always ask people to send gifts to the house during the New Year's holidays, and I love them as much as you...... I, I, I, the princess, am I your punching bag...... If you're in a bad mood today, don't talk about it yet. ”

Lin Ruofu suddenly snorted coldly and said: "When I meet the eldest princess today, I want to talk to the princess, and I have agreed to Chen'er's marriage in October." ”

......

There was darkness outside the palace wall, only the lantern resting next to the eldest princess's sedan chair emitted a little light, and the long silence was enough to confirm how the seemingly weak woman in the sedan chair was shocked at this time, and what kind of anger she was after hearing this, after a long time, the eldest princess's clear voice like a cold wind came out of the sedan curtain: "That's my daughter! I won't let her marry that little bastard of the Fan family." "The eldest princess, whether she is in the palace or outside, has always given people a weak and unbearable appearance, who knew that she would speak so fiercely at this time.

"You...... Can you beat Your Majesty?" Lin Ruofu's voice was unreasonable, with a trace of self-blame and self-pity, "What's more...... Your Majesty let everyone in the world know that Chen'er is my daughter, which dooms her to be only a not very glorious character. ”

The eldest princess's voice has immediately become extremely poignant: "You really can't bear ......"

Lin Ruofu felt very disgusted when he heard the other party's voice now, and said in disgust: "If the princess is worried about the matter of Neiku, this is no longer in my scope of consideration. ”

The eldest princess said in a trembling voice: "If you don't think about it, who will think about it? I am a woman and a woman, alone in the palace." Hasn't it been easy all these years?"

Lin Ruofu in the sedan chair had a look of disgust on his face: "I have a daughter, but I can't see each other all year round, and I can only occasionally glimpse it from a distance at the palace banquet, is it easy for me to be a father!"

The eldest princess explained sadly: "This is a helpless thing, back then, I had a secret knot, and I couldn't bear to miss your future, so I raised her alone, over the years, I took care of you in the palace, and secretly mixed silver taels from the inner library for you to use, don't you miss my good trace?"

The voice in the prime minister's sedan chair was cold, and Lin Ruofu roared in a low voice: "My future? From that year to the present, when did I take the initiative to live such a future? gave birth to a son...... But ......" he said in a trembling voice in the sedan chair, "...... But I died tragically, where is my future, what I want. This is just the power you want, you are not willing to marry a colt who will never be able to come out, and live the rest of your life in peace, could it be that I still thank you for these things?"

When the eldest princess heard these words, her heart was furious, and she cried and scolded in a screaming voice: "Lin Ruofu." That's it. And you speak these bastard things. If you are really unwilling, when you were transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you were assigned to the middle of the matter. Why didn't you speak? Why didn't you feel sad when you were allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy? Why didn't you blame yourself when you asked to come to the ministry to take up your job? When you were rising step by step, you didn't remember my goodness, and now when you have a slight problem, you will vent all your anger on me!"

"Good, Rui'er. Listening to the eldest princess's voice getting higher and higher, Lin Ruofu's voice quieted down, but what he said was extremely resentful: "I'd rather you be such a shrew, than I want you to be that kind of sad and relative forever, do you know it, it's disgusting." ”

The eldest princess was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Regarding Chen'er's marriage, I decided, I have observed Fan Xian, no matter what kind of person he is, but at least he is a person who is not easy to die. Lin Ruofu said coldly: "I don't want my daughter to become a widow. ”

The eldest princess reprimanded: "Are you dizzy today, Jue'er was murdered, you are in a hurry to win over the Fan family, do you really believe what Chen Pingping's old dog said, how can a person with such an identity as a sword come to Kyoto to kill people! Maybe Fan Jian is the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Lin Ruofu said coldly: "It's my son who died, do you think I didn't go to see him for the last time?" Those scars can't be hidden, the sword intent of the sword is sharp but casual, even if I admit my mistake, the one in my house will not admit it." ”

Seeing that she couldn't convince the other party, the eldest princess's tone softened, and she begged: "You wait for me to check, even if you don't pity me, don't let Chen'er marry into the Fan family." ”

After a period of silence, Lin Ruofu finally spoke: "Wu Bo'an proposed to me a plan to assassinate Fan Xian, but I didn't agree, but I didn't expect him to say that he moved the stupid Jing'er. ”

The eldest princess fell silent, knowing that it was already difficult to convince the other party that she had nothing to do with this matter.

"Wu Bo'an is your person. Lin Ruofu's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the sedan curtains swaying in the night wind, "I always knew that he was your person, and he was the person you used to spy on me, but I didn't expect that my son would die because of you, so let's stop here." ”

The night wind gradually rose around the imperial city, and the green sedan chair slowly escaped into the darkness, and a lantern fell weakly next to another lonely sedan chair, and the sound of a woman's crying faintly came from the sedan chair.

The eunuch stepped forward in fright, the palace maid was playing a lantern beside him, and the group slowly entered the palace along the corner gate of the imperial city.

The sedan chair walked for a long time to reach the Guangxin Palace where the eldest princess temporarily lived, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the eldest princess with tears on her face walked down from the sedan chair, and several eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly bowed their heads and did not dare to look up. The eldest princess walked up the stone steps weakly, and finally wiped the tears from her face, and suddenly smiled, showing her green posture like a willow after dew, and said timidly: "Kill them all." ”

Several eunuchs did not have time to beg for mercy, and they were killed by the palace maid who was close to the eldest princess with a short knife in her sleeve, and in the night hall, the corpses fell to the ground, making a few slight sounds.

――――――

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not the largest mansion in Kyoto, but it is the richest one, whether it is King Jing or the rich Tianling Hou family, it is not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion. The main entrance and decoration of the Prime Minister's Mansion don't look very rich, but people who really know how to do it can see at a glance that the furnishings in the mansion are already some of the elegance and elegance, only the inner high-end gadgets, just a few chairs, it is estimated that they can be replaced by a large nursery of King Jing's house.

Of course, the comparison we have made here is naturally to exclude the house of His Majesty the Emperor, and his old man's house is called the Imperial Palace, who would dare to compare with that guy.

Lin Ruofu and his people can collect so much wealth in just over 20 years, and the world knows that he is greedy and treacherous, but His Majesty always opens his eyes and treats him as if he has no vision, which is really a very confusing thing.

Walking through the front hall and saying hello to the civil officials who came to condole, Lin Ruofu walked into the inner house with a somewhat depressed face, the officials knew that the prime minister was in a low mood and it was inconvenient to disturb, so they said goodbye one after another, only a few officials with urgent business were waiting helplessly. Lin Ruofu seemed to think of them, walked back, asked what happened, and dealt with the things at hand with a strong spirit, before waving weakly and letting them go. When these officials left the Prime Minister's Mansion, they blamed themselves and admired inexplicably, and when they encountered such a tragedy, they could still put official affairs first, which was really the pillar of the country.

After coming to the inner house and entering the study, Lin Ruofu sat on the table and did not say a word for a long time.

"My lord, it doesn't seem very appropriate to turn your face with the East Palace at this time. "The prime minister's closest friend and the most private strategist, Yuan Hongdao brought him a cup of tea, Yuan Hongdao was wearing a plain dress today, he looked at Lin Ruofu fighting his spirits, and couldn't help but feel gloomy, and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, let's go and rest first." ”

Lin Ruofu shook his head, his wrinkles were full of sorrow, and he said softly: "The matter has come to this, for the sake of this Manfu nephew and the Lin clan, I always have to plan a road." ”
