Chu Nanzhi was pulled in obediently by Lin Jinxiao, but her mind was thinking about what the pretty boy had just said, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
These uncles of the three emperors were supported by the old ministers of Jingling, and Concubine Yue was supported by the Tang family. She had been close to Lin Jinmu, the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they were all in the same camp. Why is Lin Tingkai openly so close to Concubine Yue now?
Almost every time we meet, we see the two of them together, and they seem to be very close.
Could it be that Concubine Yue chose to join Lin Tingkai?
No matter how I think about it, this feels wrong.
Concubine Yue is almost the same age as herself. She wants to find some way out for herself. It is reasonable and reasonable to adopt a step-heir. Even if she is closer to Lin Jinmu, it is also understandable. After all, Lin Jinmu is from the Qinghe line. As long as she does not
Neither Tang Yao nor the Queen Mother would care too much about openly opposing King Qinghe.
Because they have to rely on Concubine Yue to check the empress and the empress dowager faction.
But it was different to share the same hatred with Nandu King Lin Tingkai. This not only offended King Qinghe, but also made the Queen Mother fear her.
What benefits can she get from King Nandu?
King Nandu is now over 40 years old and is determined to compete for the throne. The best protection he can give Concubine Yue is to wait until she is crowned a great treasure and continue to make her his concubine or even his concubine.
Perhaps only in this way could Concubine Yue be willing to be driven by him.
Otherwise, even if you commit yourself to the Queen Mother's family, it would be better than helping King Nandu.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Murong Courtyard, Chu Nanzhi suddenly stopped, looked at Lin Jinxiao, and asked slightly confused: "Lin Dalang, don't you think that the relationship between King Nandu and Concubine Yue has changed since the incident with King Dongjin and now?
Doesn’t it seem a little confusing?”
"Why do you feel that way?"
Lin Jinxiao glanced at her blankly and asked, pretending to be confused.
"King Dongjin is teasing Concubine Yue?"
Chu Nanzhi shook her head disdainfully: "That Yue Guifei is flirting with others all day long. I think she is the only one who teases others. Moreover, before King Dongjin, I saw that she was submissive to her. It didn't seem like she would dare to do such a thing.
People who wait for things to happen.”
After a pause, she continued suspiciously: "Furthermore, even if King Dongjin poisoned the Chen family, Concubine Yue knew about it. Judging from the relationship between the two people, Concubine Yue was determined not to do it because of a trivial matter.
The old woman ruined her confidant. King Dongjin didn't have to kill Concubine Yue to silence her because of this. You must know that if he killed the Chen family, he would only receive some punishment even if he returned to the palace, but if he wanted to touch Concubine Yue, that would be another matter.
"
"I have always found this matter to be very strange."
Lin Jinxiao finally said the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Uncle Three Emperors has always been afraid of Concubine Yue and the Tang family. Now that he encountered King Dongjin who wanted to kill Concubine Yue to silence her, he just took this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Yue.
That's right, why did you help Concubine Yue kill Lin Jinmu?
And I heard that all those who died that day were the guards of the two kings, and the people around Concubine Yue were unharmed, which shows that Concubine Yue was able to protect herself. Lin Jinmu had no chance to silence her. As for teasing Concubine Yue, that is even more debatable.
"
"Indeed, judging from the situation at that time, when Concubine Yue Guifei was not helpless, the Third Emperor's Uncle put all his money into it and took the risk to kill King Dongjin. I think killing King Dongjin
It’s more like silence.”
Chu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and guessed: "Otherwise, it is entirely possible for the guards from both sides to restrain King Dongjin. This manslaughter always feels a bit unreasonable."
"This inference of yours and mine is not considered rigorous."
Lin Jinxiao smiled and said, "But I also have doubts about what you said about killing Lin Jinmu to silence him."
Staring at her deeply, Lin Jinxiao sighed slightly: "I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, the postmaster of the posthouse came to report that the Third Emperor's Uncle has been appearing at the posthouse in the east of the city every day to meet with Concubine Yue.
They behave very intimately, and I don’t know what the two of them are plotting.”
"If Uncle Three Emperors really saved Concubine Yue in the post house, Concubine Yue would be grateful and it would be reasonable for her to get closer to Uncle Three Emperors. But I think the matter is not that simple."
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said: "Concubine Yue is a smart person. If she didn't have to, she would not choose to associate with the Third Emperor's Uncle. Now the power of the Qinghe clan is at its peak, even if she can't benefit from you, the new noble of the court.
, she should continue to be loyal to the Queen Mother and King Qinghe, so that even if King Qinghe ascends the throne in the future, she can at least keep her current glory. Why should she risk being jealous of the powerful Qinghe to please the Third Emperor Uncle."
"Unless they have reached some ulterior secret, or they can get more generous rewards from the Third Emperor's Uncle, Concubine Yue Guifei will be willing to be driven by the Third Emperor's Uncle."
Lin Jinxiao said with determination in his eyes.
In my mind, I even began to speculate that the two of them might have something to do with each other.
Chu Nanzhi sighed bitterly: "There are many mysteries plaguing us right now. The man behind the instigation of the Qi family to snatch the imperial edict has not yet been found. I dare not say whether this matter is related to Concubine Yue and the Third Emperor's Uncle, but they are really there.
They worked together in a conspiracy and did something that would bring shame to His Majesty, but it actually helped us, and we just took this opportunity to bring down the two of them."
"Killing the prince of the imperial court without authorization is an unforgivable crime, but to this day the imperial court has not held any intention to hold King Nandu accountable. This shows that the courtiers' support for him is extraordinary."
When this matter was mentioned, Lin Jinxiao felt even more angry.
No matter whether Lin Jinmu's crime is true or not, he is the king personally appointed by His Majesty. How could he be killed in such an unexplained way?
He didn't dare to kill the princes indiscriminately even though he held the Emperor's Sword in his hand.
If this is the case, wouldn't it put everyone in the royal family at risk?
"With Concubine Yue as your majesty's bedfellow, and with the support of those old ministers in Jinling City, these two people have stated the matter in a reasonable and well-founded way. Naturally, your majesty will not pursue it."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh with regret: "We don't know exactly what happened in the post house that day. It's a pity for a prince. Based on the two things that King Nandu said, he wouldn't be guilty of death."
"Although the Yi Cheng didn't explain it very clearly that day, I seemed to be able to detect something from his eyes. That is, everyone in the post house is a close confidant of Concubine Yue. It is not easy to go in and find out."
Lin Jinxiao pulled her and continued to walk in: "Our Han Yicheng is quite smart and knows how to protect himself. He doesn't say anything clearly, but he is also afraid of being accused of dereliction of duty. Anyway, he let me know some tricks. As for other things,
So I threw this problem on myself, and it was me who offended others."
"I'm afraid it will not be easy for him to protect himself wisely."
Chu Nanzhi frowned and looked at him: "If he really bumped into something he shouldn't have seen, how could Concubine Yue and Prince Nandu spare his life?"
"Seeing is the only way to believe this kind of thing, otherwise it will be difficult to grasp the handle based on Han Yicheng's one-sided words."
Lin Jinxiao smiled bitterly and said: "I think this is also the reason why Han Yicheng did not dare to speak out."
"Then we will find a way to get him to talk clearly."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him meaningfully and followed him casually into Murong Courtyard.
