In the first month of the year, Shengjing ushered in a heavy snowfall, swaying and sweeping from the dark and chaotic sky.

It was chilly and it was clearly a lively season, but Shengjing City was unusually silent.

Apart from the whimpering and winding cold wind, every household was closed, as if it had entered a deadly silence with the heavy snow.

Whether it is the home of the ministers and the Counts, or the households of the people, the white silks are hung in front of the door, and occasionally a few crying sounds pour out from the white walls and dark tiles with the chill.

On New Year's Eve, the latest chapter of the death knell of the Forbidden City was released.

The prince and the sixth princess died.

When the prince died, the world was mourning. Even in the New Year, no one dared to show the festive colors that touched the royal family's bad temper.

Two masters died in the deep palace, which had always been guarding strictly, and the city of Shengjing was full of soldiers and everyone was in danger.

The Jian'an Hou Mansion located in Badeng Lane is even more silent and depressing. Two white lanterns with the word "Dian" are hung high under the eaves of the outer gate, floating in the cold wind.

The birth mother of the Sixth Princess, Concubine Jing, is the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Marquis of Jian'an.

It is said that she fainted on the spot due to excessive grief.

The empress dowager couldn't bear it and summoned Mrs. Lin, the head of the Jian'an Marquis's Mansion, to the palace to Kuanjie.

At the beginning of Mao, a canopy green curtain carriage slowly drove from the imperial city into the entrance of Badeng Lane, and in a moment, it entered the side door of Jian'an Hou Mansion.

Rongshou Hall, located on the west side of Jian'an Hou Mansion, was instantly brightly lit.

A middle-aged man wearing a round neckline and straight brocade robe in plain green embroidered silver pattern greeted him outside the door of the main house. His originally solemn and dark face suddenly became anxious when he saw the white figure appearing outside the yard.

"Mother? What's wrong?" He stepped forward quickly, his eyes as if sad and excited.

He is Lin Kun, the Marquis of Jian'an.

Old Mrs. Lin, wearing plain silver brocade, rolled white fox armpit hair, looked at her eldest son without answering. She was supported by her maid Cuiling and slowly walked into the main house.

Hou Jian'an had to temporarily calm down and follow in step by step.

Cui Ling helped Old Lady Lin take off the silver rat skin cloak, revealing the bright purple wide-sleeved auspicious and remarkable pattern inside. It was a regular dress that had not yet been changed in a hurry.

Although Mrs. Lin's face showed fatigue, her eyes were cold and sharp, which made people frightened.

Although Jian'an Hou was anxious and impatient, he could not help but quietly lower his head and stood beside him.

The gold-plated bizarre bronze furnace in the middle of the house was burning silver charcoal, emitting bursts of heat.

The little maid immediately brought the ginger tea served in the moist porcelain floating pattern tea bowl and handed it to the old lady Lin's mouth.

After a bowl of ginger soup, the warmth flowed from the abdomen to the limbs and bones, ironing the body of Mrs. Lin, who was not sure whether it was the truth or the cold wind.

"You all go out first!" Old Mrs. Lin finally spoke slowly.

The maids answered "yes" and retreated respectfully.

Only Jian'an Hou and his son were left in the huge main hall.

Old Mrs. Lin sat down on a chair with ripples of ebony wood, constantly twisting the red sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand, and said quietly: "The prince and the third princess have always had deep feelings. On New Year's Eve, the prince took the sixth princess to climb the high to see the lanterns outside the city. Unexpectedly, the road was slippery in the snow, and both of them accidentally fell from a high place. When the palace maids heard the screams, they were no longer helpful."

Jian'an Hou's heart skipped a beat. The Sixth Princess is now seven years old and the prince is only twelve. Both of them are the most favored dragon sons and dragon grandsons. The palace maids are always watching each other tightly. The Queen Mother and Queen are even more protected and have never had any bumps and bumps. How could they be so relaxed this time and happen to be a big mistake?

"According to my son, this matter is probably not an accident, but a man."

Old Mrs. Lin did not respond, but asked back: "Do you know which princes the emperor has other princes besides the prince?"

"The second prince produced by Concubine Duan, the fourth prince produced by Concubine Yu, the fifth prince produced by Concubine Jing, the seventh prince produced by Concubine Wan, and the third prince produced by the eldest sister, the latest chapter of the unscrupulous businessman in the plane of the third prince." Jian'an Hou replied in all his heart, and also secretly wondered in his heart, who was the one who benefited the most when something happened to the prince?

The descendants of Empress Zhou in the central palace were in a difficult situation, and she only took the risk of giving birth to the crown prince at the age of thirty. Once the crown prince died, Empress Zhou was completely disheartened and would have no hope of fighting for the throne.

"The He family of Concubine Duan has a huge influence. Since ancient times, the eldest prince died young and the prince died young. The second prince had the greatest hope. Could it be her?" Jian'an Hou murmured.

Before Mrs. Lin could express his opinion, he vetoed himself: "No, the He family's foreign family has self-respecting troops in the northwest and has been named king. The emperor has been afraid of him and has warned him several times in the court, and it seems that he wants to seize his military power. How could he make the second prince a crown prince to expand his threat? Concubine Duan is not a brainless person. She must also know what it means to turn against the extremes and restrain his sharpness. Otherwise, the second prince would not have learned music and memorized poetry and books since he was a child."

Then he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The fourth prince's biological mother is from a humble background, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are too young, and there is no possibility of competing for the throne, so there is only..."

As he said that, he looked up in disbelief and looked at Old Lady Lin. The shock and shock in his eyes seemed out of place under Old Lady Lin's calm eyes.

Old Mrs. Lin closed her eyes and didn't want to see his expression. The Buddhist beads in her hand were twisting faster and faster.

The third prince's biological mother is Concubine Jing, the biological mother of the Sixth Princess, and Lin Yuehua, the legitimate sister of Jian'an Hou Lin Kun.

"She is willing to give up?" Jian'an Hou still didn't believe it. As the saying goes, the tiger will not eat the child. His sister Lin Yuehua has been kind and soft since childhood. How could she do such a thing?

Old Mrs. Lin still closed her eyes, feeling that the room was filled with heat, but her whole body was covered in cold and bone-absorbing.

She remembered the face of the legitimate daughter without any grief and guilt, with high nose and snow skin, bright eyes and good looks, and thin lips put them in her ears, and said softly: "I will use it to throw it? I will take it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it? I will use it to exchange the future of the third prince and the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion!

In the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Jing, the biological mother of the Sixth Princess, could not be the initiator of this matter, because no one is so vicious that he can even bear to kill his own flesh and blood. What's more, Yuehua loved Princess like so before, without any warning! Even her mother, who was a mother, would never believe it if she hadn't heard of it with her own ears.

But Yuehua relied on this "impossibility" to win excellent benefits for the third prince and the Marquis of Jian'an.

"I will give up, I will give up, and there will be gains. In this world, if you want to get some, you must lose some." Old Mrs. Lin finally opened her eyes, and her eyes seemed to have a layer of venom, which made people feel intimidated.

Jian'an Hou was like a thorn in his throat, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more.

The dead are gone, and it is useless to pursue it.

"When the prince passes away, the party structure of the court will change soon. Now is the most critical period. Although you are not valued by the officials in the court, you should also be careful in your actions and guard them. Don't form a clique for personal gain. Asking people to seize the blame, destroying the century-old foundation of Jian'an Hou Mansion."

Although Lin Kun inherited the title of Jian'an Hou, he only gained an official position as the Senate of the Tongzheng Department in the court.

However, not being valued also has the benefits of not being valued. Since the founding of the Dayan Kingdom, all the Dukes and Earls of the Dukes and Marquis and Earls of the King were either expelled from their power or arrogant because of their favor, and their families were confiscated and their families were exterminated. Only the Jian'an Marquis' Mansion has stood firm for a hundred years, which is closely related to their low-key and cautious behavior in dealing with people and avoiding their sharpness.

Now that Concubine Jing has committed such a major rebellion, although there is no evidence, it is difficult to ensure that the officials will not be suspicious. If there is a mistake in the Jian'an Marquis' Mansion, a century-old foundation will be destroyed.

This is a game!

Hou Jian'an wiped the cold sweat dripping from the forehead and said respectfully: "Son thanks my mother for her teachings."

"I guess the Duke Cheng's mansion will come to inquire about the news soon, so I won't come forward. Please pay attention to your words and deeds. Also, you should not let Yun'er know about this matter at this time."

Yun'er is the wife of the Marquis of Jian'an.

The Duke Chengguo Mansion and the Duke Jian'an Mansion have been married for generations. Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Jian'an's wife were both born in the Duke Chengguo Mansion and were aunts and nephews.

"My son knows, please relax your mind. Be careful of your health and don't get angry, which will hurt me."

Old Mrs. Lin waved her hand and signaled that Jian'an Hou would retreat. She was obviously exhausted. The sudden change in the palace made her exhausted.

The Hou of Jian'an retreated respectfully and walked outside the door, he suddenly heard the old lady Lin say, "The Sixth Princess was raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child and was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. Now that she has passed away, the Empress Dowager is deeply saddened. She is afraid that she will choose a caring girl from each residence to accompany her. Even if she cannot support her, her value will be very different after being raised by the Empress Dowager."

Jian'an Hou instantly understood what Mrs. Lin meant.

Jian'an Marquis Mansion, which fought hard for the quota of the Empress Dowager's accompanying the Empress Dowager, would definitely not be a rebel who wanted to rebel and seize power.

However, Lin Yuehua can still sacrifice his own daughter, how could he know that he would not use his relatives and niece?

Once you enter the palace, there is glory, but it is not a blessing.

Hou Jian'an was full of thought and left with his eyebrows. Only the gilded heating from the copper furnace with gold-plated beast patterns and the almost inaudible sigh of Mrs. Lin.

The clouds broke into the dawn, and the sky gradually became brighter, as if a crack was opened between the dark sky, and a light shone straight in.

The red plums in Qinfang Pavilion were blown down by the wind and snow, falling on the snowy ground, dotted with monotony.

Lin Zhaoyan slept on a beech-made bed in the inner room, but his eyes were half open, and through the half-open diamond window, he watched the wind and snow outside cry.

The prince died and the sixth princess died, exactly the same as what happened in the dream.

A cold wind blew in through the window, and her arms exposed outside the brocade quilt had goose bumps, but she didn't know if it was cold or fear.

If the things in the dream are true, then the one who killed the prince and the sixth princess...

The more Lin Zhaoyan thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and the coolness that came from the bottom of his heart penetrated his bones and blood.

With a curtain in the inner room, the maids came in one after another with copper basins, towels, handkerchiefs, clothes, etc.

A maid wearing a white silver-white magnolia flower embroidered with plain white silk and beautiful eyes slowly walked to the bed of the rack and whispered: "Miss, it's three o'clock in the morning, it's time to get up."

This is her maid Manshuang.

Lin Zhaoyan calmed down his thoughts, and Manshuang served him to get out of bed, and asked, "Has grandmother been back?"

Manshuang took the white porcelain carved lotus leaf-painted cup from the maid's hand and handed it to Lin Zhaoyan, and replied: "I must be tired today. I have already told the girls in each room not to pay my respects."

It was the cold winter, and the honey water in the cup became a little cold, and it rushed into the stomach to warm and cool, just like that dream, which made people feel nauseous.

If the dream is true, then the old lady Lin, who is Concubine Jing’s biological mother, must have known the truth about the deaths of the prince and the sixth princess.

Looking back on the future of the marriage of the grandchildren who had sacrificed for the benefit of the family over the years, she knew that the Sixth Princess’ affairs would definitely be completely broken in her stomach.

Manshuang soaked Supa in warm water, then slapped Zhaoyan's face and wiped it carefully, saying, "A big deal happened in the palace, but the fifth girl's house is complete. Mother Lin said that the wife asked you to pay your respects and went to Qingxing Pavilion to accompany you before you pay your respects, so there is no need to copy that book."

Lin Zhaoyan nodded gently.

The fifth girl Lin Ruoyan went to Prime Minister Dong's mansion to attend a banquet a month ago, but accidentally fell into the lotus pond. It was cold and the ground was frozen. Although she was rescued in time, she was really seriously ill. Read the full text of the King of Football Development Tool.

In fact, before Lin Ruoyan set out, she was vaguely uneasy and felt that something had happened.

She advised Lin Ruoyan not to go out, saying that she might have disaster, but she was scolded by her and was taught by Mrs. Lin to "be taciturn and be cautious", and she was punished for copying fifty times.

After eight years of traveling, there are many such things. It seems that after she fell into the lotus pond and was rescued, she could predict what would happen in the future by dreaming or observing her appearance.

Sometimes I just want to make a general look, but sometimes I can understand the whole story thoroughly just like the murder of the prince.

She had never learned the skills in her past and present lives. She was not only shocked to have such ability to predict the future, but also concealed her.
