Chapter 426: Rumors
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Mu'an sat around the fire together, and after eating a roasted sweet potato from Zhao Mule, after thinking about it, she decided to write a letter to Fang Yunxiao, midwinter is coming, you should add winter clothes to avoid catching a cold.
When I came back from sending the letter, I happened to meet Zhao Muping at the door when he came back from the school, holding two books in his hands, but the expression on his face was angry and very indignant.
"Pingping? What's wrong with this? Lin Wan'er rarely saw her own child be angry to this extent, and the last time she saw such an expression was when she learned that the fourth prince was plotting against her.
"Mother." When Zhao Muping saw Lin Wan'er, he suddenly became aggrieved, pouted and snorted softly, but did not speak.
Lin Wan'er smiled and touched his head, and asked as she walked in with her arms around him, "Did something happen?" Tell your mother. β
Zhao Muping clenched his fists, and said what he encountered in the academy with a dissatisfied face: "When I was in the academy today, the master who taught said that it would be winter soon, but my father had not prepared winter clothes and supplies for the soldiers, saying that he was starting to be arrogant now and would not take care of the safety of the soldiers." β
After listening to his words, Lin Wan'er frowned and said: "From time to time, your father, don't scream, and besides, the affairs of the frontier have their own arrangements, even if the master makes inappropriate remarks, you can't say anything, let alone think about defending him, after all, no one knows what the situation is in this matter, in case you say too much and be misunderstood, it will be troublesome, understand?" β
This contains too much involvement, Fang Yunxiao is not a person who will not prepare in advance, and when he was in the capital, he knew that the purpose of the Xiongnu was not simple, so he would not let them be arrogant, so there should be something wrong with this.
"I know my mother." Zhao Muping still kept his mouth flat, wanting to hold grievances for Fang Yunxiao, but he still decided to listen to his mother's words.
Lin Wan'er asked him to go back to read, and went to find Princess Muyang by herself, it's not easy to ask Yining about this matter, although she is a princess, but what she knows is limited, not to mention that it is about the emperor, it will inevitably be a little subjective.
I have been a guest twice before, and the people in Muyang Palace's Mansion know Lin Wan'er, and when they saw her coming, they were directly invited to the princess's courtyard, Princess Muyang was preparing gifts to attend the banquet, and it was suitable for a group of people to get together to laugh and laugh in winter, and she had already booked a banquet for several days later.
Seeing Lin Wan'er come in, her face was a little surprised, and she quickly asked her to prepare refreshments, and welcomed her over with a smile to sit down: "Why do you have time to come over today?" Yining said that you have been busy with new things in the past two days, have you thought of any money-making business again? β
Lin Wan'er has always had all kinds of strange ideas, this time she also thought it was a new business, Lin Wan'er didn't say anything about it, the less people know about this matter, the better, even if Princess Muyang can be trusted, but she still doesn't want to involve too many people: "It's not a new business, it's on the right track now, just develop slowly, I came here today, I want to ask you something." β
Seeing her serious appearance, Princess Muyang poured her a cup of hot tea, and then said, "Say it, as long as I know it, I will not hide it." β
With a little gratitude in her eyes, Lin Wan'er directly said what she doubted: "It's about to be the cold winter season, and I heard that the army has not prepared winter clothes to protect against the cold."
As far as I know, Fang Yunxiao will not be the kind of person who does not care about the safety of the soldiers, under normal circumstances, the application for materials and support should almost arrive in the capital, but the imperial court seems to have not moved, I want to ask, is there any misunderstanding in this. β
After Lin Wan'er finished speaking, Princess Muyang was silent for a moment, took a sip of the teacup, and then sighed: "It's really not a misunderstanding, this is a problem between the prince and the emperor." β
Lin Wan'er blinked puzzled, is there a contradiction between the two? I only heard Princess Muyang continue: "The emperor has always felt that his position is unstable after he ascended the throne, and he is very jealous of the prince.
It's just that later Concubine Zhao was seriously ill and he had to come back to visit, and in addition to the border war, the prince appeared in front of the emperor again and again, although he didn't have that mind in his heart, the emperor was still afraid of him. β
The emperor's suspicion, Lin Wan'er frowned and thought about it for a while, feeling that many things she had encountered before could be figured out, she was injured in the hand when she encountered an assassination on the way back, and she was assassinated again shortly after returning to the town, and some of the things she encountered in the capital are, and now I think about it, there are traces to follow.
So is the emperor going to do something in this war with the Huns? Lin Wan'er was suddenly a little worried, a monarch's suspicion was very terrifying, although the tiger talisman had already been withdrawn halfway, but this could not dispel the scruples in his heart, he was afraid that Fang Yunxiao would have to deal with it in the future.
"Speaking of which, the prince and your encounter and love are all fate." Princess Muyang sighed with some emotion: "Concubine Zhao told me that according to the prince's temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone I like in this life, but fortunately you appeared." β
Listening to Princess Muyang's emotional words, Lin Wan'er took a sip of the teacup, her mood was not relaxed at all, but a little heavier, speaking of which, her fate with Fang Yunxiao depended on his bad reputation at the beginning.
After saying a few more words, Lin Wan'er looked at the time, it was not early, she should say goodbye: "Princess, thank you very much today, the children in the family should have gone home, say goodbye first." β
"When will you bring them over for a meal, compared to my bastard boy, An An and they are much more obedient." Princess Muyang nodded, and she didn't force it to stay.
"I'll come over when I have time, An An has been idle for the past two days." Lin Wan'er knew that she liked Zhao Mu'an the most, and thought that if she had a chance in the future, she would have a party and have a meal together.
Leaving the palace, Lin Wan'er began to sort out the grievances between the emperor and Fang Yunxiao from the beginning, she knew a long time ago that Fang Yunxiao's true strength was not as simple as he showed, so for some terrible reasons, he had to hide it.
According to Princess Muyang, although the emperor has been on the throne for many years, the government has not been able to settle down, and the dictatorship of civil officials and the lack of place for military attachΓ©s are enough to show that there are actually many people who disobey him.
And she seems to have heard someone say that if Fang Yunxiao sat in that position, the ending might be better, at least there would be no military attache who could lead troops in the court.
