Lin Jinxiao shook his head in confusion this time: "I don't dare to judge Jinhong's matter, but although the person who instigated the disciples of the Qi family to assassinate the imperial envoy has not been found yet, this strategy is not a clever one.
And the spearhead is more directed at you, not like Uncle Sixth Emperor's handiwork."
After thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Chu Nanzhi and said with an evil smile: "Now that we have concluded that these two things were done by the same person, I think it is more like someone is dissatisfied with you."
"Hmph, just say that someone wants to compete with me and be jealous."
Chu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him angrily.
But he didn't speak in a crude way, and it certainly sounded like what he said.
The game between men has always been about getting to the point. Lin Tingyan didn't have to resort to surgery on himself. Such a painless approach would not cause fatal harm to him if Lin Jinxiao was a cruel person and at worst abandoned himself.
If the incident at the post house is indeed a secret he wanted people to leak, this plan of killing two birds with one stone is indeed both sinister and powerful.
Thinking back to his ignorant and ignorant look on the way here, Chu Nanzhi became more and more wary of this charming and charming uncle.
It seems that this person is a ruthless character.
As soon as he returned to the mansion with a worried heart, Lin Jinxiao informed everyone in the mansion that the lady was pregnant. The family was immersed in joy when news came that Concubine Yue Guifei died of a sudden illness in Rongning Garden.
Ji Huazhen and Cui were both surprised and looked at Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao: "Concubine Yue was in high spirits a few days ago, why did she suddenly fall ill and die?"
"If people eat whole grains, they will be immune to all kinds of disasters."
Chu Nanzhi smiled faintly and guessed that this must be an explanation given by Taiwei Yin. After all, it was about the royal family's face.
With such rhetoric, even if the Baiyu people intend to make a big fuss out of this matter, it can only become an unfounded rumor.
Well, official statements are the most deadly.
Fortunately, Concubine Yue is dead and King Nandu has lost power. This result is undoubtedly the best.
At least no one would dare to point the finger at Lin Jinxiao openly.
Moreover, this incident also gave Chu Nanzhi a warning. She must find a way to identify the masters behind the palace officials as soon as possible.
Especially the servants serving in the inner courtyard.
After everyone talked in the living room for a while, Caiwei came in to report that Yin Sinian had arrived at the house.
Lin Jinxiao and Chang Lao Nie took the lead to greet them.
As soon as they met, Yin Sinian looked at Lin Jinxiao with a stern face, frowned and asked: "Your Highness, I heard that you have executed all the Qi family members and party members?"
Lin Jinxiao remained silent and did not answer, leading everyone to the living room.
Regarding this matter, he had already made plans and made up his mind to put these people to death, so he specifically chose to execute them today.
From Luyan Port to Jinling City, even the 800-mile expedited trip would take three to four days, so even if someone in the imperial court wanted to save these people, it would be too late.
When he entered the hall, Lin Jinxiao slowly picked up the Emperor's Sword, knelt down respectfully, and then replied with a sincere face: "I am good at making opinions and attacking the Yi tribe without permission. Please punish me and take back the sword."
sword."
"this"
Chang Lao and Nie Lao were both startled and looked at Yin Sinian anxiously.
"The disciples of the Qi family have committed such a disrespectful crime of treason and should have been severely punished. Your Majesty has given His Highness the Emperor's Sword, and a secret decree has been passed down to Your Highness. It can control the states in the south of the Yangtze River. It has the right to kill first and report later. There is nothing wrong with that.
.”
Seeing this, Yin Sinian couldn't help but frowned: "Even if there is blame for this matter, it cannot be blamed on His Highness. It is all because the veteran minister did not do his job well and was delayed for some time on the road. As a result, His Highness had already passed the decree before it was conveyed."
The execution is over."
As he said this, he felt bitter in his heart.
He planned the sentence so urgently that even if he flew, he would not be able to arrive in time.
Chu Nanzhi seemed to see something strange in Taiwei Yin's eyes. He guessed that His Majesty did not advocate the Yi Shi clan and asked hurriedly: "I wonder what your Majesty's decree was for Mr. Taiwei to bring?"
"Your Majesty has not issued an edict."
Yin Sinian faced everyone and answered truthfully: "I have always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness. Your Majesty is indeed unwilling to set a precedent for the ten tribes of Yi. He originally wanted to draft a decree and ask the old minister to come in person to stop His Majesty. However, before leaving,
However, the Empress Dowager persuaded His Majesty to change his mind and only gave oral instructions to let the old ministers act according to the opportunity."
"So, Your Majesty finally accepted the memorial from His Highness, and feels that this matter must be severely punished."
Chu Nanzhi immediately retorted, not giving Yin Sinian any room to think in the opposite direction.
Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager really felt sorry for her grandson, and must have expected that there would be no room for maneuver in this matter, so she deliberately did not issue an explicit edict, leaving a way out for her willful grandson.
"Yes, what the princess said is absolutely true, and I also think this is how it should be."
Yin Sinian knew the intention of the Empress Dowager, and immediately helped Lin Jinxiao up. Seeing his trembling look, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie. He didn't know whether the two elders had informed him of his life experience.
Chang Lao and Nie both shook their heads cautiously and looked at Chu Nanzhi beside them.
Yin Sinian nodded understandingly. He was almost aware of the princess's reputation in the capital. With such a smart woman strategizing beside his nephew, there was no need to worry.
Chang Yanjue has not seen Yin Sinian for many years. This time he came to Luyan Port in person. He must be shouldering an important mission. However, he has not told Lin Jinxiao's life experience yet, and it is difficult to question him face to face, so he made excuses to support him.
He said to him: "Xiao'er, you and Nan Zhi have been running around all day today. Nan Zhi is pregnant again. Please take her back to her room to rest for a while. I haven't seen you, Mr. Nie and Taiwei for many years, so I happened to be in the study.
Talk about it."
However, Yin Sinian had no intention of sending the couple away, and quickly stopped him and said: "Today in the post house, I still have many questions that I would like to ask Your Highness and the Princess. I sincerely ask the Princess, if Your Highness has to suffer a little more, why don't you come with the rest of us?"
Let’s go to the study together, old fellow, to discuss matters.”
Chu Nanzhi saw that he had a calm face and had no scruples. He guessed that it had nothing to do with Lin Jinxiao's life experience, and immediately agreed: "Your Majesty, Taiwei, you are so polite. Your Majesty, Taiwei, had a long journey, and he had to wait until he arrived at Luyan Port.
It makes me and Your Highness feel deeply guilty for bothering you with such troubles."
"This is my duty. I am willing to do my best for Your Highness and Princess."
Yin Sinian's words made Lin Jinxiao feel very strange.
I am just a prince from a foreign vassal, so why should he, a dignified prince of the imperial court, work so hard for me with such humility?
Just as he was suspicious, Chu Nanzhi pushed him and led a few people towards the study.
It was almost evening. The little ones had been busy with schoolwork all day and were very tired. Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife were taking care of the six little ones in the backyard to catch up on their sleep. Ji Huazhen had to lead the maids to pour tea for everyone.
, then closed the door of the study room and went to help prepare for the evening banquet.
