Chapter 121
The drizzle has been falling for a day, and the cold air has lingered in the entire capital. People who come and go are in a hurry and sneak into their homes without looking up, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing and being caught. Go, because someone was arrested by the government when they were talking about His Royal Highness this morning.

For a while, the capital became jittery.

Master Luo closed the door of the mansion, and then he looked at the person who was 'arrested' early in the morning, and his heart was suspended: "Why are you back?" He was going to see Xu Boshan early in the morning, but he heard him asking someone on the way As for the matter of the prince, where can I discuss the matter of the prince with people on the street now?
"I heard the rumors, and I was really worried, so I rushed back alone." Wang Pingzhang, who was once Wang Yushi, was standing on one side with gray hair and gray hair.

He originally brought his family back to the countryside, but he just heard the passing businessman mention the capital city, he had a bad feeling, so he rushed back alone.

Master Luo sighed softly, pulled him to sit down, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to say what happened this time."

"what happened?"

"It's the emperor..." Lord Luo sighed heavily again, he can be regarded as a veteran minister who has followed the emperor for many years. He was wronged and rebelled before, and the emperor didn't believe him at all. He is still the wise emperor before. But now his behavior looks like a narrow-minded villain. He only has that bit of power in his eyes, and he doesn't even care about his children and family.

Wang Pingzhang's complexion was tense, Master Luo still told him the situation quietly: "This time, His Highness the Crown Prince is going out, I'm afraid it will be a bad luck. Moreover, the Crown Princess is under house arrest, and even the former son of General Lin Shao He fell off the horse, was left at home by the emperor to recuperate, and was resigned from his post. Yan'er was even taken to the Prince's Mansion. Now Master Xu is better, and can continue to go to the Imperial College for classes, but I heard that there are people outside the Xu Mansion from time to time. Shaking, I'm afraid it was also watched by someone."

"This...how could the emperor do this? Has the emperor been bewitched by others?" Wang Pingzhang didn't believe it. He had followed the emperor for so many years and witnessed him from the prince to the emperor, and then expanded the small country of the Jin Dynasty into a prosperous and prosperous country. Yes, it stands to reason that Jin Chao's fortune has been around for hundreds of years, how could he be so confused and want to use such methods to destroy the foundation of Jin Chao?
Master Luo couldn't explain clearly either, since the last time he was imprisoned, his life was hanging by a thread, he had long since lost his former enthusiasm, he just said: "Pingzhang, I'll send you out of the city in a while, you just pretend you haven't been here before. "

"How can I go, Yan'er, she still..."

"Didn't you ignore her long ago?" Master Luo asked back.Back then when Ru Yan got married, she left the other courtyard, and she didn't see them coming to see her off, so she was allowed to marry alone, and even left Beijing on the day she returned home.

When Wang Pingzhang heard his question, he was full of debts, but he owed both his son and daughter. Now that his son is gone, he is an old bone. If he can exchange his daughter's safety, that's all.

"Please prepare, I want to see Mr. Xu later." Wang Pingzhang thought for a while and said.

"Don't you see General Lin?"

Wang Pingzhang looked outside the house, which was covered with cold rain, and finally sighed: "Let's talk about it later."

When the wind blows at the end of autumn, the yellow leaves of the trees are rolled down, and the drizzle hits the paper umbrellas, moist and silent, but unconsciously wets the clothes of people walking.

The emperor was discussing something with a man who looked like a Taoist priest in his study, when he saw that Eunuch An had already entered, his face immediately darkened: "Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to come in without a pass?"

Eunuch An hurriedly put down his umbrella, knelt down and said respectfully, "I don't know that your majesty is in the flower hall..."

"Okay, what are you here for?" the emperor asked a little impatiently.

Eunuch An's hands tightened slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing has returned to Beijing, and now he has gone to Prince Jing's mansion, and will come to greet you in a while."

"He came back suddenly?" The emperor's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at the Taoist beside him. The Taoist understood, nodded and retreated.

As soon as he left, the emperor turned around and walked towards Mr. An, and said coldly, "When did he enter Beijing?"

Eunuch An hurriedly said, "This morning."

"The one who came here is aboveboard, does he dare to disobey my will like this?" The emperor snorted coldly.

Eunuch An didn't dare to speak out.

After a long while, the emperor finally said: "Forget it, since he is here, let's go down, prepare the chariots and horses, and drive back to the palace immediately." King Jing came back, and the King of Southwest is not far away from the capital.

Eunuch An raised his eyes to look after the answer, and found a sneer on the corner of the emperor's lips. His heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"By the way..." The emperor squinted at Eunuch An with deep eyes: "The queen mother has been bored these days. Since the prince is no longer in the mansion, he took the princess and Mrs. Lin Shao into the palace to accompany the queen mother."

Eunuch An knew that he still refused to let Lin Jinhua go, so he had to agree.

Xiong Linyu stood at the corner of the corridor, listening to the emperor's orders from a distance, and slowly tightened the hand holding the handkerchief.

Lin Jinhua got up early and threw up without eating anything. It seemed that after confirming her pregnancy, the morning sickness reaction became more intense.

Ah Bao worriedly supported her to sit on one side, looked at her slightly pale face, and said, "Crown Princess, why don't you send Royal Physician Lu to take a look."

"Don't bother, let someone prepare some hawthorn cakes." Lin Jinhua said, his mouth was tasteless, and he wanted to eat something sour.

When Ah Bao heard it, his eyes lit up: "Could it be that there are two boys in the stomach?"

Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "How do you know?"

"Sour girl..."

"That's because I never eat spicy food. What if it's my two daughters?" Lin Jinhua looked at her with a smile.

A Bao became embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "It's fine if the two daughters are as good-looking and smart as the princess, then our prince has made a lot of money."

Lin Jinhua was amused by her, and her appetite seemed to improve. After sending her to get the hawthorn cake, she drank half a bowl of porridge before breakfast.

Not long after breakfast, Eunuch An came.

After hearing what he said, Lin Jinhua sighed slightly: "It's time to come."

Seeing her calm expression, Eunuch An worriedly said: "Crown Princess, the emperor asked you to enter the palace with Mrs. Lin Shao."

"I knew it would be like this." The emperor used the excuse of staying in the prince's mansion to control himself openly, and also drew the attention of the Southwest King to the prince. Now that Zhao Kan has returned to Beijing, he naturally knows that the Southwest King must be the prince. He was already outside the city, and his attention was on him. How could the Prince's Mansion be as safe as the palace.

"Then what should we do? If you go in this time, it may be difficult to get out." Eunuch An was very worried.

"The imperial palace is not impregnable." Lin Jinhua smiled at him: "Isn't there another you by the emperor's side?"

"You're still joking about the servant. The servant is not joking. You will be in danger if you enter the palace this time and the prince is not around." Eunuch An became more and more anxious when he saw that she was still not in a hurry.

Lin Jinhua was not in a hurry, but the imperial decree of the emperor was not something she could violate in a hurry. Even if she died here today, the emperor would find a way to carry her body in.Instead of worrying, it is better to think of a way to deal with it.In the palace, besides Eunuch An, there is also Xiong Linyu.

She quickly had her things packed up, and after a while, the emperor gave the order to set off.

Wang Ruyan was afraid that something would happen to Lin Jinhua, so she insisted on riding in the same carriage with her, and followed her closely when walking, but Mo Feng and Mo Xue were deliberately kept outside the palace by the emperor, and Lin Jinhua reluctantly brought her in under the pretext of being pregnant. A Bao is by my side.

After Ah Bao knew that he was the only one protecting Lin Jinhua, his eyes didn't stop turning. He looked like he had a long way to go, and his face was serious.

After entering the palace, Lin Jinhua was still placed in the Queen Mother's side hall, but this time the Queen Mother didn't see her again, she only arranged someone to look after her, and never showed up.

Standing at the gate of the hall, Lin Jinhua glanced at the familiar Sifangtian, and then at the desolate and lonely look in the harem after autumn, feeling heavy in her heart, not knowing what was going on with Huaiyan now, whether she had received the news she had sent...

"Jinhua, it's cold outside." Wang Ruyan came from behind and put on a cloak for her.

"It's okay." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, seeing that her eyes were full of worry, and chuckled lightly: "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 Jinhua smiled slightly.

When Wang Ruyan heard this, she forced a smile.

The two of them were talking, when suddenly there was a sound of trotting down the corridor, Lin Jinhua turned her head to look, her eyes were slightly bright, how could she have forgotten that he was still there.

"Jinhua!" Ling Weiye trotted over and saw her standing on the porch watching the rain, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

"Little County King." Lin Jinhua smiled and watched him come over. He looked like a child, but he was much calmer. After all, he suffered such blows one after another, and it was hard not to grow up.

Although Ling Weiye is young, but he grew up with Duan Hui, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He is not ignorant of these things in the capital.

Seeing the maids and eunuchs standing around, he said: "You all stand down, I want to talk to the princess, I don't want you to hear it."

"But the emperor ordered..."

"You want to eavesdrop on me so much?" Ling Weiye said angrily, "Don't blame me for doing it if you don't go down!" Ling Weiye's previous reputation for domineering was still circulated in the palace.

The maids and eunuchs looked at each other, then bowed and retreated, but soon went to the emperor to complain.

Ling Weiye knew it too, but he didn't care. He didn't believe that after seeing his mother die with his own eyes, the emperor would let him die.

He told Lin Jinhua: "You can rest assured that you live in the palace, I will protect you."

Wang Ruyan laughed when she heard that, but Ling Weiye made an oath.

Lin Jinhua also laughed, no matter what, it would be easier to have one more person in the palace.

The news was quickly sent to the emperor, and the emperor didn't pay attention to the child when he heard the words: "Let him go." After the emperor sent the person away, he asked, "Did King Jing go to see the abandoned concubine?"

"Yes." Eunuch An replied.

The emperor put down his vermilion pen, looked gloomyly outside the hall, and then got up and went out.

After Zhao Kan entered the palace, he didn't go to see the emperor directly, but first came to see Concubine De, but the abandoned palace where Concubine De lived was really not as good as Yonghe Palace, although the palace people looked attentive to Zhao Kan , but nothing compared to the past.

Concubine De was dressed in old clothes, and when she saw Zhao Kan coming, she put on airs and sent all the palace servants away, and then said to him in pain: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have believed your father..."

"Mother Concubine." Zhao Kan frowned and looked at her slightly crazy look.

"I shouldn't have believed her, I shouldn't have brought the Xiong family to the capital, I shouldn't..." Concubine De said to herself, and Xiong Linyu stood far behind. A knife was inserted, gouging out her blood.

Zhao Kan knew what she wanted to say, so he just said: "Mother and Concubine, don't think about these things anymore. Now that the matter has reached this point, there is no room for repayment. Uncle has already arranged it outside the city, just waiting for King Qin." Speaking of King Qin , he got a little excited.Originally, I thought that I could take Jinhua away first when I came back, but I never thought that my father would watch her all the time, even bringing him back to the palace, leaving him no chance at all.

"King Qin?" Concubine De grabbed his hand nervously: "Are you really going to do this?"

"Could it be that the concubine mother can't bear it? Can't you see how he has treated you for so many years? If you don't do anything again, concubine mother, you will be the next concubine to be bestowed to death." Zhao Kan said solemnly.He could see clearly the ruthlessness of his father, but he also admired him for being so ruthless and able to control all the power in his hands. In this way, he can be regarded as the real supreme emperor!Having the absolute power of life and death made his blood boil even more.

Concubine De looked at him, dazed for a long while, and then sat back slumped, looking at the dilapidated cold palace, thinking about the cold reception during this period, and closed her eyes: "What do you want Concubine Mother to do?"

"It's very simple, as long as the mother and concubine..." Before Zhao Kan finished speaking, Xiong Linyu's voice of greeting came.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Xiong Linyu's voice was not low.

Zhao Kan immediately stopped speaking, turned around, and the emperor had already walked in.

The emperor glanced at Xiong Linyu who was standing respectfully on the side, his eyes were slightly cold: "Isn't my concubine always not fond of saluting, but I have granted you the privilege of not having to salute when you see me."

Xiong Linyu didn't dare to speak out, she knew that it was the emperor's favor that she could always be proud, 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 hurried out to salute, "I have seen my father."

"King Jing is so filial, he even came to see the abandoned concubine." The emperor smiled.

"The mother and concubine are the birth mothers of the sons and ministers. Even if they make a huge mistake, this blood relationship will continue to be cut off." Zhao Kan said.

"Really? If I really gave your mother and concubine to death, wouldn't you still hate me?" The emperor raised his tone and said.

Zhao Kan hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare I hate my father. I think my father has his own reasons for doing things..."

"That's right, I'm considering the country. But don't worry, although your mother and concubine killed Concubine Li, for your sake, I will save her life." The emperor said.

What he said seemed to give Zhao Kan a face, but Zhao Kan didn't appreciate it. The reason why the emperor spared his mother and concubine was probably because the King of Southwest was about to attack the city. He wanted to keep his mother and concubine as a hostage. .

Before Zhao Kan could speak, Concubine De had already rushed out, standing in the drizzle, looking at the indifferent emperor in front of him and Xiong Linyu who was following behind him, and sneered, "Has the emperor come to see my concubine?"

The emperor looked at the woman in front of him. He looked a lot older and had fine lines on his eyes. She used to be the most lively and loved to laugh, but why is she still smiling now, but he doesn't like it so much?

"You stay in the cold palace to repent." After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Kan: "As King Jing, I don't have to worry about you returning to the capital without permission, but I don't have to come to see you in the future. After finishing speaking, she turned around and saw Xiong Linyu, and said with a smile, "My concubine Ai seems to be in a bad mood. If that's the case, let me go back to the palace with me. I just got a gold hairpin, which suits you very well."

Xiong Linyu knew that he did it on purpose, but he still obediently saluted. Unexpectedly, the emperor raised his hand and directly took her hand, pulling her away.

Zhao Kan couldn't stay longer, so he followed out of the cold palace, but just after he went out, there were painful cursing and crying in the cold palace.

He glanced at the emperor in front of him who was trying to play tricks on such a thing, and his heart sank.

"Father, my son wants to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager." After walking for a while, Zhao Kan suddenly said.

The emperor saw through his thoughts at a glance, and smiled slightly: "No need, Empress Dowager Qingxiu, you don't need to bother me. You just returned to Beijing today, and you are tired, so go back to the mansion." After that, he took Xiong Linyu and walked away .

Zhao Kan watched his leaving back, his fists clenched to the bone.

He turned his head and was about to leave when a figure suddenly walked out of a corner of the corridor: "Your Highness wants Lin Jinhua?"

Zhao Kan looked back at the speaker, his eyes became playful: "You are..."

"Concubine Xin." Xue Wenxin reported her family name.

Zhao Kan's lips were raised. Although he didn't remember the face, he knew the name: "Old Nine is dead, so you have nowhere to go?"

Xue Wen ignored his sarcasm, and only said: "It depends on whether the prince wants someone. If he wants someone, then I don't count as going to nowhere, right?"

"You're smart, but how can I trust you? After all, you haven't done Lao Jiu any favors..."

"My lord doesn't believe me. Tonight I will make an excuse to see Prince Xuan who is staying in the palace. Just don't leave the palace. I will let you see him." Xue Wen thought in his heart.

Zhao Kan glanced at her slightly swollen belly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since Concubine Xin wants to help me, why don't I do me a favor." What I didn't have time to say to my concubine just now, maybe she can help too.

Concubine Xin didn't expect him to have other requests, but now she has to find a way out by herself, or wait for the civet cat to replace the prince, but the chances of winning are obviously higher.

"My lord, please speak."

The corners of Zhao Kan's lips raised slightly. With the help of Concubine Xin, the uncle's army would soon come in with justifiable reasons, and there was a good-for-nothing King Xuan in the palace...

After Lin Jinhua sent Ling Weiye away in the afternoon, she took a nap, but when she woke up from this sleep, it was already dark.

Ah Bao was waiting on the side. After she sat up, she felt hungry and ate something before asking: "Ru Yan also rested?"

"Young madam was invited away by the concubine Xin in the afternoon, and she hasn't come back yet." Ah Bao said.

Lin Jinhua's heart tightened: "Why didn't you remind me?"

Seeing that she was anxious, Ah Bao explained: "The concubine Xin came here with great fanfare, and her attitude is also very good. The servant thinks nothing is wrong, so..."

"It's already at this point and she hasn't come back. Even if she didn't mean to harm Ruyan, she might have some bad idea." Lin Jinhua didn't believe Xue Wenxin at all, after thinking about it, she got up directly and went to the palace of concubine Xin.

Although the emperor asked people to watch her, he didn't restrict her freedom. Soon she arrived at the palace of concubine Xin, but she didn't see Wang Ruyan there.

Xue Wenxin knew that she would definitely come. Seeing her, she got up and smiled lightly, "Why is the Crown Princess here? She is still pregnant with a child. It's dark and slippery today, so be careful."

"I don't mind. I heard that Ru Yan came to the empress's palace before. I saw that she hadn't returned 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 Jinhua also flirted with her. That said, but the palace is very peaceful, it doesn't look like someone is hiding, and concubine Xin would not have the guts to kidnap Ru Yan, but what about Ru Yan?

Hearing this, Xue Wenxin only smiled slightly: "Then it's not a coincidence that you came here. Before you, Mrs. Lin Shao had just left. But when she left, she said that you like fresh and tender flowers. Now maybe you are going to the Royal Garden I went, and I plan to pick some fresh flowers for you."

"Imperial garden..." Lin Jinhua frowned. The emperor liked to go to that place the most. The rain had stopped outside, so the emperor Baobuqi was there.Although he is old, he can take his niece by force. I don't know if he will do anything to Yan'er...

Thinking of this, she immediately left, and when she left, she turned her head and said to Xue Wen: "Ruyan is the eldest daughter-in-law of my Lin family, if something happens to her because she came to your mother, the Lin family will definitely not let it go! "

Xue Wenxin didn't expect her face to change so quickly, she only smiled slightly: "If something happens, I will definitely go to the emperor to plead guilty."

Seeing her attitude, Lin Jinhua 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 raised his chin slightly, and said coldly to the people around him: "Go to the side hall and put Wang Ruyan back."

"Yes." The palace maid answered quickly.When he left, he glanced at Lin Jinhua's hurried back. In fact, Mrs. Lin Shao was kept in the side hall by concubine Xin to drink tea, and never went out at all.

Lin Jinhua didn't know this, she had no one in the palace, and the news was closed. Now that something happened to the tortured Ru Yan, she was even more anxious, but before stepping into the imperial garden, someone finally stopped her.

Lin Jinhua looked at the face-to-face court lady approaching, puzzled: "You are..."

"The servant is serving in the palace of the concubine Xin. You left in a hurry, and you didn't even know that you lost a hairpin." After the maid said, she smiled and presented a hairpin, which was a plum blossom.

Ah Bao thought about it, the princess did not wear plum hairpins at all today.

She was about to speak, but Lin Jinhua personally took the hairpin and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Princess Concubine, please be polite. This is the duty of a servant girl. If the dark road is slippery today, Crown Concubine must be careful when walking." After finishing speaking, he glanced at her, saluted and left in a hurry.

Lin Jinhua looked at the plum hairpin, Mei... no... Could it be that Ru Yan is not in the Imperial Garden at all?
She turned her head and looked at the place close at hand, her heart sank slightly, but Ah Bao suddenly held up the lantern and said, "Oh, the maid's veil just fell off."

Lin Jinhua glanced at the handkerchief, it seemed to be Ru Yan's.Looking at the direction in which the palace maid left, she suddenly understood the palace maid's hint, and said, "Go back to the palace immediately."

Ah Bao was puzzled: "Then we won't be looking for the young lady?"

"Young Madam is probably fine." Just now that maid is probably Huai Yan who stayed in the palace.Thinking of Xue Wenxin's reaction just now, she felt confident, if it wasn't the emperor's order behind her back, or Yan'er was fine at all.But now the emperor still wants to use Yan'er and himself to control the Lin family and the prince, so how could he act rashly?If you really care about yourself, you will be in chaos!
Lin Jinhua didn't stay any longer, and immediately walked away. At this time, there was indeed someone in the dark imperial garden, staring at her closely until she went away.

He came out from behind the rockery, looked at his leaving back, the smile in the dark eyes became more and more intense, after a long time no see, her whole person has changed, her whole body exudes a seductive aura, making people want to go to her Pick before.

Lin Jinhua, if you escaped today, can you escape in the future?Sooner or later you are mine!
When Lin Jinhua returned to the palace, Wang Ruyan was indeed there, and she had just come back. As for picking flowers in the imperial garden, it was nonsense, but after the two of them told their respective situations, they were both covered in cold sweat.

"It's a good thing you didn't go. I don't know what's in the imperial garden." Wang Ruyan said in fear. Hua.

"We 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 lost forever.

Wang Ruyan nodded solemnly, but looking at the oppressive and closed palace, her mind had already drifted away to her beloved, just thinking about him, the big stone on 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 off the horse, even though he had a strong recovery ability, he still couldn't handle it and was stabbed severely in the back with a knife after falling off the horse.

Being able to sit in the Xu Mansion now is all thanks to Mo Hua.

"Jincheng, are you still worried?" Wang Pingzhang asked, looking at the people who kept looking out.

"Yeah." How could Lin Jincheng not be worried, Ru Yan and Jin Hua are both women, they are powerless, entering the palace this time is an extremely dangerous thing, the emperor is determined to go his own way, and it is not known whether he will do anything to them.

Xu Boshan glanced at him and said, "Jincheng, now is not the time to worry. I have sent the letter from Jinhua to the prince. It depends on whether the prince can receive it, and our most important thing now is It is to think about how to bring Jinhua and Ruyan 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." Lord Luo followed along.

Lin Jincheng pondered for a while, then said: "The emperor will never let them out, the palace is impregnated, I'm afraid there will be no chance..."

Yuan Shao, who had been sitting inside like a transparent person, suddenly said, "There is a way."

"any solution?"

"Take the Princess of the Southwest, and exchange the Crown Princess and Young Madam with Yu Guiren." Yuan Shaodao: "The Princess of the Southwest has been detained in the city, and the defense is relatively loose. The Shizi Mansion will definitely bring her out, but the important thing now is how to get in." Gong to discuss this condition with Noble Yu."

"I go!"

Xu Zhaozhao was eavesdropping outside, and when he heard this, he finally opened the door and walked in.

When everyone saw her, they all frowned.

Yuan Shao thought it was a good idea, but he was not at ease, Zhaozhao was simply a little reckless at times, and letting her go was afraid of danger.

Lin Jincheng disagreed even more: "It would be great if you were detained inside again, now the emperor does not absolutely trust the Xu family."

"Besides me, who else can make the emperor lower his guard and help us?" Xu Zhaozhao asked rhetorically.

Everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, Xu Boshan finally nodded and only looked at her solemnly: "Then you have to think about it, if something happens, we can't save you."

"Zhaozhao understands!" Xu Zhaozhao said firmly, if she couldn't help after this, it would be too useless.

Several people looked at each other and sighed.But not long after speaking, I saw the servant from the mansion rushing over, saying: "Master, Miss Mo Feng begged to see her, and she even brought someone here."

"Who did you bring?"

"It's Mr. Jiang, the current censor." The boy said.

Xu Boshan remembered that the new imperial censor was indeed a talent, he was promoted and made a lot of outstanding achievements, but didn't he never make friends?Although he had a little friendship with his son Cheng Qing, it was not enough for him to come to this muddy water for that friendship.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Since it was Mo Feng who attracted them, you lead them to the front hall to wait for me." Xu Boshan was still cautious, not letting Jiang Qingshu see them gathered together.

The servant quickly responded, and Xu Boshan went forward alone.

At that time, Jiang Qingshu had already stood in the front hall, saw him coming, and said politely: "Master Xu, are you worried about taking the Crown Princess out of the palace?"

"Master Jiang, you are..." Xu Boshan was a little surprised when he saw him straight to the point.

On one side, Mo Feng said: "Master Xu, don't worry, the princess concubine has been kind to Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang is not someone who will repay his kindness."

Jiang Qingshu smiled lightly: "If my lord is willing to trust me, I have a plan."

Xu Boshan thought for a while, and said: "Master Jiang, let's talk."

"Now that King Jing has returned to the palace, I think the King of Southwest will do it soon. But the King of Southwest has studied it before, and he likes to pay attention to integrity in everything he does, so King Jing's return this time must be for this name. Yes. He will definitely not take up the title of rebellion, so there is only one left who can bring troops into the city with the title of "king of Qin". Lord Xu thinks, who is the courtier next to the emperor who can make the king of Southwest dispatch an army to "Qin" ?” Jiang Qingshu said.

"This..." Xu Boshan frowned. If he said that, it must be someone who is close to the emperor, but the emperor has never seen the minister who favored him so much, and even the eunuchs around him have never interfered in the affairs of the government. A man of body and mind... He paused, looked up at Jiang Qingshu and said, "Could it be the current Daoist Jiangyang?"

"This person has always been trusted because he can refine the elixir that prolongs life, and the emperor has to eat the elixir he made every day. In addition to the recent abnormality of the emperor, if the king of Southwest said that Jiangyang Daochang used the elixir If the emperor is under control, most people will believe it, right?" Jiang Qingshu looked at him and said.

Seeing Jiang Qingshu's calm look, Xu Boshan was very surprised. He never thought that Jiang Qingshu, who has climbed from a commoner to the current position of censor, would be so careful and would investigate the Southwest King, which shows that he spent a lot of thought.

"Then what do you mean, start with this Daoist Jiangyang?"

"The King of Southwest is ready to make a move, so it depends on how to make an opening on Daoist Jiangyang. As long as I let this matter reach his ears, he will be flustered. Then I will use the ability to keep him as a bait to let him talk to the emperor." Invitation, send the Crown Princess and Young Madam out of the palace." Jiang Qingshu said.

Mo Feng listened, but felt that it was somewhat feasible: "As soon as she leaves the palace, the princess must leave the prince's mansion immediately, and the Xu family and Lin family are also in danger."

Xu Boshan is not worried about these things: "I have never done anything that is not good for the country, and the emperor is still concerned about driving the Xu family out of the capital, so he will not attack the Xu family easily, but the Lin family must find a way." .”

"Young General Lin, why don't you ask for orders to guard Mrs. Lin's tomb for a few days? The emperor has no reason to refuse such a thing." Jiang Qingshu suggested.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Xu Boshan also nodded, but Minger Zhaozhao still wanted to enter the palace to ensure everything was safe.

The palace at this time.

When the sky was about to dawn, the emperor got up, or he didn't sleep at all all night.

Xiong Linyu was still serving the bed yesterday. He sat up and looked at the indifferent people around him, and said coldly, "Still blaming me?"

"The concubine dare not." Xiong Linyu got up and knelt on the ground and said.

"Don't you dare?" The emperor said coldly, Eunuch An had already presented today's elixir, the emperor grabbed two pills and swallowed them, and then said coldly: "Forget it, you back down."

Xiong Linyu didn't say much, he turned around after saluting and left.

"Your father is coming soon, are you happy?" the emperor suddenly looked at her back and asked.

Xiong Linyu's body was slightly shaken, but he continued to go outside without saying a word.

Not long after she left, the emperor received the news of Xu Zhaozhao's request to enter the palace.

"Princess Yongle..." The emperor laughed as he thought about the title he had given her, "Forget it, if she wants to come, let her come. You don't have to come to see me, let her go to see the princess directly."

Eunuch An quickly agreed.

But the first person Xu Zhaozhao wanted to see when he entered the palace was not Lin Jinhua, but Xiong Linyu.

After returning to the palace, Xiong Linyu took a bath for half an hour before coming out. When she heard that Princess Yongle asked to see her, she hesitated for a moment: "Why is she here?" Thinking of the only day in Xu's house, she was not I really don't want to marry into the Xu family, but it's too late now.

"Say it's something important."

"Important matter..." Xiong Linyu could guess her purpose at a glance, it must be for Lin Jinhua: "Let her in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Xu Zhaozhao was brought in.

In fact, Xu Zhaozhao was also nervous. When he saw Xiong Linyu, he said directly, "Master Yu, I have something to say to you in private."

Xiong Linyu sat on the side of the warm couch, listening to the sound of the cold wind blowing gently outside the window, raised his hand to send the others away, and then said, "I can't help you with Lin Jinhua's matter, you came in vain." Father will meet soon Even if you lead troops in, you may not be able to survive. How can you have the strength to help Lin Jinhua?

"Exchange Madam Xiong's freedom for the freedom of the Crown Princess and my cousin." Xu Zhaozhao said directly, she knew that Xiong Linyu was not a heartless person, otherwise she would not have been willing to teach her how to dance a sword when she first met her.

Xiong Linyu's expression stopped as expected, and he turned his head to look at Xu Zhaozhao, his teeth clenched slightly.

After Lin Jinhua got up early, she ate a lot of sour hawthorn cakes to make her stomach feel better. Even Wang Ruyan was surprised: "Eating these early in the morning is not good for your body."

"They cooked it in the porridge, so it's okay." Lin Jinhua was very happy to finally be able to have a good meal.

Wang Ruyan shook her head helplessly, and after the two of them finished their meal, they heard the news that Noble Yu and Princess Yongle came over.

"Zhao Zhao?" Lin Jinhua got up and went out, seeing that it was really Zhao Zhao, he was relieved, thinking that his uncle and the others had already figured out a way.

Xiong Linyu looked at the much-loved person in front of him, feeling envious spontaneously.

Jiang Qingshu's actions were also going on. After the morning court, he did not go back, but went to the Imperial Medicine Academy. He knew that Jiangyang Daoist would go to the Imperial Medicine Academy every day to get some valuable medicinal materials.

When he arrived, the Daoist Jiangyang was still selecting medicinal materials as before.

"Taoist." Jiang Qingshu walked over.

The Jiangyang Daoist had a gray goatee, and he was very humble and polite. He looked like a fairy, and when he saw him coming, he returned the gift with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Qingshu raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He only hoped that he could help her this time and repay the previous favor.

"Does the Taoist know that the Southwest King outside the city is going to use you as a pretext to invade the imperial city?" Jiang Qingshu finished speaking in a low voice, and took out a note from his sleeve to him: "This is to protect you The way of life is to be the head of the Taoist priest or not." Jiang Qingshu is sure that he will do it, if he really understands the secret of immortality, how could he come to this palace to pursue fame and wealth?
Jiang Qingshu looked at his trembling hand when he took the note, raised the corner of his mouth, turned and left.

When he left the Royal Medicine Academy, he saw King Jing who was already waiting, and his guess became more certain. He thought that when Jiang Yang came out and saw King Jing, he would know what to do.

Daoist Jiangyang really knew what to do, but after Jiang Qingshu left, he didn't have any fear, but calmly turned around and put the note in the stove beside him to burn, and calmly left the Royal Medicine Academy to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation up.

this compartment.

Lin Jinhua and Xiong Linyu quickly discussed the way to get out of the palace. It's actually not difficult. It's just a trick to hide from the sky. They quietly found someone to replace Lin Jinhua, and then transported the real person out of the palace. With Xiong Linyu's love, he did it. It wasn't too difficult, but after their method was finalized, the emperor's oral order came.

When Eunuch An came to pass the oral instruction, his hands were trembling slightly.

Lin Jinhua looked at his nervous expression and knew that the emperor must have other ideas.

"Crown princess, the emperor orders you to leave immediately and head to the imperial mausoleum."

"Why?" Lin Jinhua was puzzled.

However, Eunuch An only swallowed his saliva, and said: "The crown prince died, and the crown prince... was buried with him."

"What!" Xu Zhaozhao exclaimed, even Xiong Linyu was surprised, the prince had only been out of the city for three days, maybe he had died before he was hundreds of miles away?
Wang Ruyan looked at Lin Jinhua, whose face was pale, and held back her tears, stepped forward to support her: "Jinhua..."

Lin Jinhua clenched her fists tightly, but her whole body couldn't stop shaking. She looked at the sad Eunuch An in front of her, and gritted her teeth: "The prince is not dead!"

"The corpse is already on the way here. It is said that he was ambushed halfway and died unfortunately." Eunuch An presented a jade pendant that Zhao Huaiyan was wearing close to him, and the jade pendant was broken.

Lin Jinhua felt that her stomach was starting to feel uncomfortable. She touched her stomach and tried to calm herself down, but she was sure that Huai Yan was not dead. He couldn't die so easily. Before she saw Huai Yan's body, she I can't believe Huai Yan is dead!
But she didn't believe that the emperor's imperial decree to let her be buried with her was issued.

After Mr. An delivered the decree, a eunuch came over immediately: "Crown Princess, the emperor allows you to live to the imperial mausoleum, please."

Lin Jinhua closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. The emperor must have some purpose for doing this. She can't be messed up, can't be messed up...

"Give me a moment, and I'll change into clothes." She tried to calm down.

"Time is urgent..."

"I'm going to be buried with you. Is it possible that you are the crown prince? You won't let me wear decent clothes to greet him!" Lin Jinyu said angrily for the first time.

The eunuch was taken aback by the scolding, and looked at Eunuch An, who nodded.

Only then did Lin Jinhua pull Wang Ruyan and Xu Zhaozhao into the room. Since she can still live to reach the imperial tomb, she has a way to escape, and she must go find Huaiyan herself!Moreover, the emperor suddenly issued such an imperial edict, something must have happened, forcing him to send himself out immediately.But what is it?
