Chapter 136

Just this thought, no matter whether it is helpful to them or not, it is worthy of gratitude.

A few days after receiving Xu Yueqiu's letter, Qi Haoran confessed that Lin Yuan secretly began to slowly pack her things and prepare to leave Licheng at any time.This means that there may be changes in the capital at any time.

When they came to Li city, they didn't bring much.During his stay in Licheng, he didn't buy many things.Lin Yuan thought about it carefully. During these days in Licheng, she was almost playing.

In fact, they don’t have too many things. If it’s inconvenient to carry a lot of things, they can be temporarily put in the ancestral house and sent to pick them up later, or sent to the capital. Therefore, there are not many things that need to be cleaned up. Something to take away.

Earlier, Lin Yuan said that she would make a pair of buckskin boots for herself and Qi Haoran, but two pairs of boots have already been made.It's just that it's not suitable for this season and this weather, so I can only save it for later when the weather cools down.

The tiger skin was specially treated to remove the smell of mutton, and it was also given to Zhu Bicong as a cushion according to the original words.The tiger bone was not thrown away, but was used by Zhu Bicong to mix it with medicinal materials to make medicinal wine, which felt like the best use of everything.

It was a night when it was pouring rain when I left Li city.

The heavy rain kept falling, the thunder rang from time to time, and the lightning pierced the sky. It seemed a little scary.Because he started to pack things early in the morning, except for a few, most of the things had already been packed. When Qi Haoran said he wanted to leave, he would be able to leave soon.Not only Lin Yuan's side, whether it's Zhu Bicong or Qi Yingyu's side is the same.

All of them got into the carriage in the heavy rain, and left Li city in the dark to head towards the capital.Li city was neither close nor too far from the capital, but in order to avoid being discovered, they often had to avoid official roads.During the journey, Lin Yuan noticed that soldiers could be seen from time to time, which was obviously very strange.

The only thing is that the journey went smoothly, and it took only four days to reach the capital after traveling day and night.Because it was evening when they arrived, they first settled down in the suburbs of Beijing.To Lin Yuan's surprise, her father-in-law and Qi Haoran took them to settle down in Long'en Temple.

Since she was a child, Lin Yuan has been to Long'en Temple more times than she can count on her hands, but this is the first time she has stayed overnight at Long'en Temple.The host seemed to be very familiar with Qi Mingcheng, not only met them personally, but also personally arranged for their check-in.

Lin Yuan guessed that there should be another major change in the capital, but Qi Haoran didn't tell her too much, and she wasn't very clear about the specific situation.Now that I came to Long'en Temple, I became more and more confused, and thought maybe I just found a place to stay.

It's just that there is a place to live and hot water for bathing, which is much better than the previous journey.Although the vegetarian meals provided by the temple are very vegetarian, they are very delicious and are many times better than the steamed buns eaten on the road.Qi Haoran and Li Wei went back to work after the evening, and didn't say anything to Lin Yuan, but asked her to rest early, saying that they would go to the city the next day.

Lin Yuan, who was really tired, obediently listened to Qi Haoran's words. When she was drowsy, she heard a familiar voice calling her again, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Haoran's face.

Lin Yuan rubbed her eyes and got up in a daze, only to realize that there were other people in the room. She took a closer look and found that it was Li Yan, the fourth princess.

Qi Haoran confessed to Lin Yuan and left again.Li Yan walked to the side of the bed and sat down, then leaned over to pinch Lin Yuan's face and smiled, "I'm sorry for waking you up when you were asleep." Lin Yuan finally woke up completely, smiled and shook her head, and got busy He tidied himself up.

After hearing Li Yan's words, Lin Yuan realized that she ran out secretly. One was to send them a message so that they could cooperate with the second prince and the others; the other was to bring the message back to the palace and pass it to the second prince and the others.At this time, the crown prince has directly imprisoned the second prince, sixth prince, concubine Hui and others, including the second and fourth princess mansions outside the palace, and sent people to watch them.It can be imagined that it was not easy for the fourth princess to come out this trip.

"After you enter the city tomorrow morning, go back to the Lin Mansion. I'm a little worried." The Fourth Princess and Lin Yuan explained the situation. They didn't say much, but it was enough for Lin Yuan to deduce from these simple information. To make a rough idea, he said to her, "According to the character of His Royal Highness, if there are ministers in the court who refuse to show weakness, they may do things against their family members. If you can control the Lin family, not only It can be persecuted to Lin Shangshu, or it can be persecuted to Fenyonghou's residence."

Lin Yuan nodded and thanked Li Yan, but she was disgusted by the other party for a while.Even at this time, Li Yan didn't look too nervous, she didn't look very serious, she didn't seem to be too worried, and she didn't seem to care too much about the ending.

Even if Lin Yuan didn't ask, Li Yan guessed what she was thinking, and said to her, "I know Brother Second Emperor, so I can't say that he doesn't have half ambition, but he doesn't really want that position that much. All of this, is it not the meaning of the father?"

"Father deliberately manipulated this situation. One is to test His Royal Highness, and the other is to test the second brother. Although His Royal Highness has disappointed Father in many ways, if His Royal Highness can win this time, the position It will also belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness loses, that position may not necessarily belong to the second brother."

"I shouldn't have said these things to you, and you might be impatient to listen to them." Li Yan smiled and said, "Many things... what you see is not true, but the backside of what you see is also not the truth. It seems that the father has praised the second emperor brother countless times, in fact, it was all to sharpen His Highness the crown prince. What the father cares about is actually only the mother's family of the queen..."

At this point in Li Yan's words, seeing that Lin Yuan was actually listening seriously, she stopped and stopped talking.She couldn't help laughing again, "I thought you were really impatient to listen, but I didn't expect you to listen so seriously, it made me unable to speak."

Lin Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, Li Yan said again, "I have to rest here tonight, and I will go to the city with you tomorrow morning, and then find a way to go to the palace to find my concubine mother." I understand what it means for Qi Haoran to bring Li Yan here.

She nodded and said, "I ordered the servant girl to fetch water and help the fourth princess to wash and freshen up."

Li Yan nodded to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan went out.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Yuan and Li Yan got up together. Under the service of the maid, the two of them washed up, cleaned up, and left Long'en Temple for the city.Qi Mingsheng, Qi Haoran, and Li Xuan were not there, and they were escorted by Ming Yan, Ming Xing and some servants.

Inside the carriage, Lin Yuan, Li Yan, Qi Yingyu, and Zhu Bicong sat in a carriage. They probably traveled around the past few days. Last night, they all rested well and early, and it doesn’t look like it now. very tired.

After leaving for a while, Zhu Bicong said to Lin Yuan, "You go back to the Lin Mansion in a while. I have Yingyu here to accompany me. It doesn't matter."

Qi Yingyu also echoed, "Little Ayuan, go and accompany mother, sisters-in-law, and nephews. Mother will be fine with me."

This kind of time is not suitable for hypocritical refusal, so Lin Yuan quickly agreed, and did not say thank you to Zhu Bicong and Qi Yingyu. After all...they are also a family.Li Yan was watching from the side, but no one treated her in awe as a princess, nor regarded her as an outsider.

When they reached the gate of the city, Qi Mingcheng, Qi Haoran and Li Wei were waiting for them there.After a face-to-face meeting, they took Lin Yuan and others into the city. Several carriages were prepared in advance. Zhu Bicong and Qi Yingyu were escorted back to Qi Mansion. Lin Yuan also had Bisha, Biyi and Qing Lian and Qingping escorted them to the Lin Mansion, while Li Yan boarded another carriage to enter the palace, and the group separated again.

It was still dark, the sky in the distance was pale, the street was very quiet, even the carriage passed by without making any sound.Because the horseshoes are wrapped in cotton cloth in advance, the sound of the horseshoes can be made dull and not obvious.

The slightly cool air penetrated into the heart and lungs, Lin Yuan finally felt a little nervous, and tried to calm her emotions and calm herself down.When the day was slightly bright, Lin Yuan returned to the Lin Mansion.

At this moment, at the gate of the Lin Mansion, the early servant was sweeping the floor, but saw a carriage stopped, and the lady who was supposed to be in Licheng got out of the carriage, and the servant dropped his hand in shock. The broom inside.

Seeing that everything was still calm, Lin Yuan calmed down a little.After the servant realized his gaffe, he hurriedly saluted Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan nodded, and brought Bisha and the others into the mansion.After entering the mansion, she ran directly to her mother's yard. The principle was too familiar, no matter how long she came back and walked again, she would not be unfamiliar.

Xu is getting older, Mrs. Lin started to go to bed early every day, and woke up earlier than usual.When the day just dawned, she had already got up and was being washed and washed by the servant girl.

Hearing the maid outside raised the curtain and calling for Missy, Mrs. Lin felt that she had heard wrong, thinking that she had dreamed of her daughter last night.While she was in a daze, Mrs. Lin heard a familiar voice calling her "Mother", and turned her head to look at the visitor in surprise.

Seeing her mother again, Lin Yuan felt a sense of sadness in her heart for some reason.In the dim candlelight, she clearly saw that her mother had white hair on her temples. She didn't feel it before, but now she had to admit that her mother was no longer young.No matter what, she couldn't let her mother suffer any harm.

After calming down for a while, she smiled at Mrs. Lin. Lin Yuan took the handkerchief from the servant girl's hand and wiped her mother's hands. Then she heard Mrs. Lin asking repeatedly, "What's going on? What happened so early in the morning? Came back without a sound?"

Mrs. Lin, who is usually very calm when encountering problems, is not calm sometimes.
