Chapter 399: Interfering with the situation in Beijing
Even if the Lin clan had the courage to question Concubine Yue, they would not dare to question Concubine Yue, not to mention that everyone was very lively and vigorous. As long as the Chen family was dead, Concubine Yue would not have held a banquet just to poison her.
Even though Lin Bo had some suspicions in his heart, he immediately gave up his worries and said calmly: "Third brother, my brother and sister are indeed epileptic. Let's go home as soon as possible to make arrangements for the funeral."
Tang Yuanxi felt particularly disappointed when she heard this. She reluctantly stepped forward to hold the imperial doctor and confirmed in a hurry: "Have you checked carefully, are you sure it's epilepsy as they said?"
"Reporting to the princess, how dare I deceive the noble concubine and your highnesses? I confirm it without a doubt."
The imperial doctor replied calmly.
Tang Yuanxi had no choice but to give up and walked to Lin Jinxiao sadly, saying with distressed concern: "Your Highness, people cannot be resurrected after death. You have to show your condolences and don't be too sad."
"Um."
Lin Jinxiao responded lightly, while Concubine Yue and Lin Jinmu, who were both still looking confused, cupped their hands and said, "I'll take my leave first."
"Good brother."
Lin Jinmu faced him with a face of shame: "Brother Yu didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"Brother Wang, there is no need to blame yourself."
Lin Jinxiao asked Ji Cen'an to stay and take care of everyone, called a few sergeants to come in and sort out the remains of the Chen family, and led the whole family out of the post house.
Back at home in Chongrenfang, Yin Liuxuan came over to ask for instructions on how to arrange the servants sent from the palace. Chu Nanzhi was still a little confused, so she asked Chu Nanzhu and Chu Nanxiang sisters to take care of the little treasures, and together with Lin Jinxiao, they led Yin Liuxuan to the study.
.
After closing the door, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao sat down together and took a booklet from Yin Liuxuan's hand. They did not plan to arrange these trivial matters immediately and motioned for him to sit down, but asked bluntly: "Erlang, last time we were here
At Chang's house, I asked you about the affairs of Jingling City, and you just said it was fine. Could it be that you still answered like this in front of your cousin today?"
Yin Liuxuan was stunned for a moment and said with a confused look on his face: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, Liuxuan doesn't know what you mean by this?"
Lin Jinxiao was not familiar with Yin Liuxuan. In Haining County, he heard Ji Cen'an mention that this person was sent by the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty to assist him.
He was still full of confusion, but when he saw Chu Nanzhi asking about this matter and trusting him quite a bit, he couldn't wait to find out something.
Examining Yin Liuxuan, he said solemnly: "Erlang, although I am not familiar with you, I know you somewhat. You are the legitimate son of Duke Dingguo, and you have an eldest sister, but the Taiwei
Placing you in Luyan Port is a bit unreasonable both emotionally and logically. Brother Yu also wants to know the deep meaning of the Empress Dowager’s move.”
"Could it be that my cousin and my wife-in-law think that my little brother has a different intention?"
Yin Liuxuan showed a bitter look on his face: "Although I don't know why my father and the Empress Dowager asked me to come, there is one thing I firmly believe in. My father and the Empress Dowager both value Your Highness extremely, and they often
I am talking about you, and if I have to tell you the reason, I can only say that my father and the Queen Mother must have placed high hopes on His Highness."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that Yin Erlang doesn't know about Lin Jinxiao's life experience either.
Lin Jinxiao was about to ask again, but Chu Nanzhi immediately stopped him and said with a warm smile: "Lin Dalang, why do you need to embarrass Erlang again? He was arranged by the Empress Dowager and also approved by Chang Lao. Don't you still believe that Erlang is in trouble?"
They will definitely not hide it from us."
After saying that, he looked at Yin Liuxuan deeply: "You think so, Erlang?"
"Of course, please rest assured, Madam-in-law and cousin, I will never betray your trust."
After Yin Liuxuan answered swornly, he suddenly realized that her words seemed to have a profound meaning, and added solemnly: "That day at Chang's home, I really downplayed the situation in Jingling City."
"Then you can tell me in detail today in front of your brother."
Chu Nanzhi urged.
Yin Liuxuan curled his lips and finally spoke in detail: "Although the current situation in Beijing is not completely calm, it is not too bad. I have my father in government affairs, and Ji Shangshu helps the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty share the burden, so I can still work with everyone.
The king's power is counterbalanced, and Princess Shu is personally in charge of the guards in the capital, so no one dares to make a mistake."
Having said this, his expression dimmed involuntarily: "It's just that Your Majesty's health is deteriorating, which is worrying. Today, my brother and sister-in-law also saw it. Even the powerless Concubine Yue wanted to use her stepson to participate in the party struggle and compete for power.
It’s in place.”
"No wonder she is anxious to adopt Xiaobao after the banquet today."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in sudden realization.
Lin Jinxiao frowned slightly: "As far as I know, Concubine Yue relied on Wu Enrong's power to enter the palace. It was only after arriving in the palace that she was appreciated by General Tang Yao and the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother only wanted to support her own
If your son becomes the emperor's younger brother, then Concubine Yue will be asking for her own death."
"My cousin only knows one but not the other."
Yin Liuxuan said: "I'm afraid my cousin doesn't know the old affairs of the Qinghe clan. The Queen Mother Tian Yuchan was just a concubine of the Lin family when she was in Qinghe land. She not only harmed your majesty's biological mother, but also caused your majesty to suffer from the root of the disease. Moreover, he
How could his biological son be so cruel and cruel, and be able to take on such a huge country?"
After Yin Liuxuan's detailed explanation, Chu Nanzhi finally had a clear understanding of the past events of the current royal family.
Before the Chonghua Emperor who entered Nanhua Temple had not yet enthroned the Zen throne, the old Qinghe King Lin Tingxian was just a descendant of the clan of Qinghe Land who had not yet been crowned king. Because he had a good relationship with the former prince Lin Ting'an, and he was still the queen at that time.
Yin Enci loves it.
Yin Enci then betrothed the twin nieces Ji Fanyin and Ji Fanyu, whom she had raised by herself, to Prince Lin Ting'an and Prince Qinghe Lin Tingxian respectively.
When Ji Fanyu was pregnant, he was tricked by his concubine Tian Yuchan, which led to premature birth and the root cause of the disease, and he died of illness soon after.
Tian Yuchan single-handedly wooed all the wealthy families in Qinghe and set a precedent for concubines in the Dahe Empire to be rehabilitated. She entered Queen Qin in Xiandong, Linting, and successfully ascended the throne of the queen.
Later, Lin Tingxian was assassinated on the way to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Yin Enci and the court officials supported Lin Jinsheng, the eldest son born to his niece Ji Fanyu, as the new emperor, while Tian Yuchan's son Lin Jinke inherited the throne of the new Qinghe King.
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother have a feud. Concubine Yue knows the truth of this, so she is so confident in cultivating her own power."
"exactly."
Yin Liuxuan replied.
"But I heard that the King of Dongjin was not the Queen Mother's heir. Why didn't the Queen Mother think of making him her younger brother?"
Chu Nanzhi thought about what she saw today and couldn't help but ask.
"Then it's even more impossible."
Yin Liuxuan said with a smile: "His biological mother was just Tian Yuchan's intercourse girl when she was in the land of Qinghe. She managed to gain some affection from the late emperor by her ability to charm people. However, within a few years of entering the palace, she couldn't bear the loneliness and actually married Jing.
The royal Taoist priests in Lingcheng secretly communicate with each other, which is simply filthy, so I won’t mention it.”
"So, now the most powerful people in Beijing are the followers of the Queen Mother?"
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh.
Tian Yuchan's son Lin Jinke inherited the title of King of Qinghe, and with the support of Qinghe dignitaries like the Tang family, his power and reputation are extraordinary.
