Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly and snuggled into Lin Jinxiao's arms. She suddenly thought that he would execute the disciples of the Qi family the day after tomorrow, and couldn't help but ask: "Is the court's decree coming soon?"
Lin Jinxiao heard that she was asking about His Majesty's reply on the execution of these criminals, and smiled casually: "There is no need for Your Majesty to issue an edict at all. There was a secret edict brought by Chang Lao before, and I have full power to arbitrarily decide the affairs of the Jiangnan states.
There is no need to report to the imperial court about affairs, and besides, it is just a matter of killing a few unruly people."
After a pause, he considered and added: "Except for Wu Enrong who was escorted to Beijing this time, the others must be executed in the state before the sealing ceremony. Only in this way can all parties be shocked."
Chu Nanzhi nodded silently.
She had forgotten that during the interrogation of Wu Enrong, Chang Lao produced a secret order brought by Yin Liuxuan.
With such great power, even Wu Enrong killed the court officials in Luyan Port and did not dare to complain.
He hurriedly wrote the Taoist memorial, and it was a matter of course.
Now that he had made arrangements, Chu Nanzhi didn't want to ask any more questions, and brought the topic to what he had guessed last night: "You and Prince Xie were quarreling with each other, but now you let him and the Bai Yu envoy live in the palace openly.
Yuan came to the restaurant, have you thought about how to deal with Concubine Yue and the Third Emperor's Uncle?"
Lin Jinxiao's eyes paused, staring at her quietly, and took a deep breath: "I originally wanted to use Prince Xie and Bai Yu's delegation to find out about this matter, but Prince Xie would rather spend thirty thousand taels of silver.
He wants to move into Yuanlai Restaurant, which shows that he wants to distance himself from the relationship and doesn't want to wade into this muddy water. I'm afraid he just wants me to do this offending hard work."
"But you just have the temperament of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
Chu Nanzhi poked his head out, faced him face to face, and said bluntly: "He is a foreign envoy with the mission of peace talks. Naturally, he cannot interfere in the affairs of our court. But you are different. You are His Majesty's minister. Your Majesty
Although your Majesty will lose face by having such high regard for you, having such an unfaithful person around him is also a disaster. Even if Your Majesty is furious at the moment, he will understand your loyalty sooner or later."
Before saying these words, Chu Nanzhi had already thought about it.
If this plan can bring down King Nandu, then the benefits of this plan outweigh the risks, and some risks are worth it.
It's just that Lin Jinxiao doesn't know his identity at the moment and has no intention of party struggle. He can't remonstrate with selfish motives and can only rely on his kindness to His Majesty to persuade him.
Lin Jinxiao frowned and nodded and said: "I hate these kind of free-spirited women the most in my life, let alone the concubines in the harem, who blaspheme the imperial majesty like this. Even if Your Majesty will blame me, I will risk the disdain of the world to expose the two of them to the world.
.”
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel startled, and once again thought of the scene in his dream.
This time, I don’t know who wants to harm me again.
Xie Jingchen had such a dream as soon as he arrived at Luyan Port. Maybe the people behind the scenes wanted to make a fuss about his disciples.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became more vigilant. It seemed that she should have less contact with him during these days, and try to go to restaurants as little as possible if there was no big event.
As for the people behind the scenes, apart from Concubine Yue, the members of the Tang family and the two imperial uncles, she could never imagine who they might be.
At present, I can only cross the river by feeling the stones, bring down Concubine Yue and the Third Emperor's Uncle, and see if this nightmare will continue.
After thinking for a while, she faced Lin Jinxiao and asked carefully: "Have you figured out how to investigate this matter?"
Lin Jinxiao shook his head blankly: "I am also worried about this matter. Otherwise, I can't alert Concubine Yue if I don't alert Concubine Yue."
"Let Han Yicheng do it."
Chu Nan's Zhiliu eyebrows slightly curved and revealed an evil smile: "Since he noticed this incident unintentionally, naturally the credit must go to him. In this way, His Majesty will not think that you are deliberately targeting the noble concubine."
Moreover, she was also prepared to drag Xie Jingchen, a scoundrel, into the water.
That guy just wanted to make Lin Jinxiao jealous and had no good intentions at all.
Then she would like to see who caught whom.
Lin Jinxiao didn't quite understand what she meant.
Han Yicheng's position was already discussed with her yesterday, so why is she still plotting against that old guy?
"Although your method is good, I'm afraid he won't want to take risks anymore."
Lin Jinxiao frowned slightly: "Besides, this matter is just speculation between you and me. Han Yicheng also intended to curry favor with Concubine Yue before. If he wasn't worried that such things would be exposed and cause trouble, I'm afraid he wouldn't even hint at this.
Yes, it would be risky to arrange for such a duplicitous person to spy on Concubine Yue."
"Why bother arranging for him to go? We want him to take the initiative to monitor Concubine Yue, and even want to get rid of Concubine Yue."
The determination in Chu Nanzhi's eyes confused Lin Jinxiao: "Do you have an idea?"
"Let me arrange this."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "You haven't been to the state capital for a few days. You just happened to go check on the new state capital and see your subordinates."
After saying that, he deliberately added: "Prince Xie and the people from Bai Yu's mission suddenly moved into Yuanlai Restaurant. As the governor of the state capital, you should summon Han Yicheng to find out the reason."
Lin Jinxiao looked at her ghostly look and didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Since his wife had a way to facilitate this, he didn't ask any more questions and looked at the sky outside, which was already bright, and prepared to get up.
When he looked back, he suddenly thought of the frightened look on her face just now, and asked anxiously: "What nightmare did you have last night that made you look like this?"
Seeing his eagerness to know the result, Chu Nanzhi found it difficult to say anything. She pretended to sigh sadly and said seriously and perfunctorily: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I dreamed about you and the doctor who will be admitted to Changliu Hospital in the future.
Being so close to each other every day makes people feel unhappy."
"Changliuyuan? Where is that?"
Lin Jinxiao looked surprised.
"Oh, it's the courtyard in the back garden of the palace."
Chu Nanzhi explained.
She actually forgot that this was the name she gave to the courtyard yesterday on a whim.
"I see, it's a pretty good name."
Lin Jinxiao realized that it was Tang Yuanxi who moved in, and immediately said displeased: "This is not a big deal. How could I be so intimate with her? Isn't it purely insulting for you to have such a dream?"
Then he jumped on her and joked with a smile: "Is it because you didn't do a small business last night that you have such a nightmare?"
"No"
Before Chu Nanzhi could say anything, she saw his seductive red lips pressing against her strongly.
Chu Nanzhi struggled and shyly kicked the two little beasts lying lazily beside the bed. Taotao and Qiqi were so frightened that they scurried under the bed.
After about an hour of burning the incense, Lin Jinxiao held her in his arms reluctantly and warned her in a solemn voice: "Such an unfounded dream should not appear."
"I think so too."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
After all, Prince Xie is not a simple person, and his evil intentions towards him have long since disappeared.
After comforting her for a while, Lin Jinxiao got up with peace of mind. While putting on his clothes, he told her: "If you are sleepy for a while, don't get up in a hurry. I will ask the maid to boil water and bring it in later."
"
"good."
She woke up early, and after being tormented by him all this time, Chu Nanzhi was indeed a little tired. After watching him leave, she fell on the bed and fell asleep again.
