Yusui Chang'an

Hearing this, Chu Chengyao immediately understood that this incident was no coincidence. He heard from Zhong Yi that when the shopkeeper fell unconscious, someone had seen Xue Ren nearby, and concluded that it was Qin Zongliang who did it.

He slapped the table angrily and cursed Qin Zongliang.

Zhong Yi braved Chu Chengyao's anger and continued:

"Several official wives have seen Miss Zhou going to Taihe Restaurant. There are rumors outside that His Highness and Miss Zhou are a match made in heaven. They have been in love with each other for a long time... and Miss Zhou... has been to Libu Sun The dowry apothecary of Shangshu’s mother has seen the doctor, and the Duke’s office should also know about Miss Zhou’s pregnancy.”

Chu Chengyao: "She really knows how to find a place! If she doesn't succeed, she will fail! Qin Zongliang insists on forcing Zhou Yuexue to me so that the prince can marry Lin Jinyan! If I don't get it, he won't even think about it! "

Yan Yuxuan.

Lin Jinyan, who had washed herself and put on her coat, took the secret letter handed over by Hong Jiu and looked at it carefully.

Hong Jiu: "Boss An said that I would like to meet you next door to the grain store tomorrow to discuss important matters."

Lin Jinyan looked at the letter in her hand and said without raising her head:

"I have something to do tomorrow, so you can go there for me. There must be a lot of people staring at me now. I'm too conspicuous when I go out. I haven't seen Boss An in the near future. If there is anything, you can just pass the message on my behalf."

Hong Jiu saw Lin Jinyan's expression was calm, so he agreed and returned to his room.

Lin Jinyan read the letters and burned them one by one:

"Bai Zhi, go and send a message to Wei Zhong. Tomorrow, the news that Zhou Yuexue is Feng Ming will be slowly spread out. It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, so as not to be traced. Send the next post to Miss Feng and invite you. She will leave the city the day after tomorrow."

After giving instructions, Lin Jinyan stopped Bai Zhi again and asked her to pack up all the things An Zhixian had given her and put them in her small warehouse.

Seeing that Lin Jinyan's expression was normal, Bai Zhi quickly packed the things one by one and carried them out. Lin Jinyan opened the window, gathered her coat, and looked up at the sky. After a while, I felt someone watching me, and I cautiously scanned the yard. I saw nothing, so I closed the window.

It wasn't until the sky started to get brighter that the lights in the house were turned off. A black shadow on the tree in the yard disappeared silently from the roof.

The next day.

Hearing that Gu Hongzhang brought his son and grandson, as well as Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan with Lin Jinyan to ask for an audience, the emperor thought for a moment and asked his chamberlain to bring them.

After the ceremony, the emperor smiled and called several people up:

"Why are all your beloveds here? Chief Lin Shan, you have raised a pair of good sons and daughters. The son can go to the battlefield, and the daughter is also excellent, which makes all my sons fall in love."

Listening to the emperor's jokes, Lin Siyuan saluted respectfully and said:

"Your Majesty, the Lin family is what it is today because of His Majesty's love. Yesterday at the birthday banquet, several princes went to Mobei to protect the daughter of a minor minister from marrying. They condescended to save the minor minister's daughter in the name of marrying him. , I will never forget it, and the Lin family will be grateful for the royal kindness from generation to generation."

The tone of Lin Siyuan's words was sincere, and the words of saving people gave the royal family enough dignity.

The emperor glanced at the few people, muttering in his heart, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all:

"This girl is very good. If she could be my daughter-in-law, it would be a great thing."

Gu Hongzhang saluted and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The veteran ministers, relatives and juniors brought Yan'er to ask to see your Majesty, and they came here precisely for this matter."

"Oh? Not only the queen and concubine, but also the queen mother are full of praises for this girl. Why not?"
