Just when the entire Jinling City was immersed in the strong flavor of the New Year, the two messengers left the capital almost at the same time.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, which was the day to welcome the God of Wealth, Lin Jinxiao, Chu Wenbi and his daughter had breakfast together early in the morning, and then asked someone to take them back to Tong'an Village.
Now that his wife has become a court official in the capital, he is well aware of his old father-in-law's temperament, and is afraid that he will have to show off to the relatives in the village to satisfy his vanity, so he specially ordered Yin Liuxuan to prepare a new generous gift for him to visit.
Used by friends.
After arranging all the matters, Hai Da'a led the famous attendants into the royal palace cautiously. First, he ordered the attendants to pass the bowl of soup in their hands to him, and cautiously explained: "Your Highness, Princess Yuanxi today
When I returned to the residence of the left-behind master, I said that I personally cooked a bowl of delicious seabass and bamboo shoot soup for His Highness to nourish his body."
"It's unnecessary."
Lin Jinxiao glanced coldly at the hot soup in the attendant's hand, waved his hand and scolded: "Take it down."
I still remember that when I had gout in my legs and feet, Chu Wenyu sent two seabass as gifts. The lady was afraid that her leg disease would relapse after eating the seabass, and she didn’t know what Princess Yuanxi was thinking.
Hai Da'a has already seen that His Highness has no good impressions of the earnest Princess Yuanxi. Although the little Princess has indeed changed a lot since she came to the house, she has learned to cook and make soup by herself, and is considerate, but in the end it is wrong.
After paying, she had no choice but to show some respect as the princess, and allowed her servants to bring the soup in.
Seeing that King Pingning was displeased, he immediately winked at the attendant knowingly and signaled her to leave. Then he quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, Minister Ji is here to visit. The old servant seems to have something important to discuss with Your Highness."
Discuss."
"Oh, immediately lead Master Shangshu to the study for tea."
After hearing that it was Ji Huaishu asking for an audience, Lin Jinxiao immediately changed his expression, got up and walked straight towards the study.
After waiting in the study for a while, Hai Da'a came in with Ji Huaishu.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jinxiao noticed that the old minister was hesitant today, as if he was filled with worries.
"Master Shangshu, please take a seat."
Lin Jinxiao glanced at Ji Huaishu with cold eyes, but he pondered for a long time before slowly sitting down.
First, he looked up at Hai Da'a, who had a calm face. Hai Da'a was about to go out. Ji Huaishu quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Chief Hai, where are you going?"
Hai Da'a knew in his heart that he might not be doing anything good here.
Regarding the life experience of King Pingning, most of the people around His Highness already knew about it, but they kept it from him. Last time Yin Si came here, he never mentioned it. The old minister made a sad face during the New Year.
If you visit me at home, I'm afraid there will be results in Beijing.
He didn't want to stay in the study and watch King Pingning get angry.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to turn around and reply with a stiff smile: "Old slave, let's go see what guests are entering the palace today."
"Why bother Mr. Hai with this kind of matter? Mr. Yin can take care of it."
Ji Huaishu smiled at him maliciously, and when he looked at Lin Jinxiao, he deliberately and sincerely asked: "Your Highness, I have been in Jiangnan for some time. I have been busy with official duties and have not had time to talk to the sea manager about the past. Could you please help your Majesty today?"
Mr. Hai gave him a seat, and I would like to keep him in His Highness’ study for a while.”
Lin Jinxiao felt very puzzled by this request.
The two old guys couldn't talk anywhere if they wanted to, so why stay in their study.
But looking at the sincere eyes of the old minister, he had no choice but to nod his head and signaled to Hai Da'a who was feeling uncomfortable: "General Manager Hai, since Lord Shangshu sincerely asks for your help, you don't have to be restrained. Sit down."
Hai Da'a secretly glanced at Ji Huaishu, who looked proud, with a resentful look, and quickly sat down in fear.
"Tell me, Lord Shangshu came to visit you today. What matters do you want to discuss with me?"
Lin Jinxiao guessed that he must have come here for something, so he went straight to the topic without beating around the bush.
Ji Huaishu and Hai Da'a looked at each other, but they blamed the cunning old eunuch for this hard work: "I think General Hai knows more about this matter than I do, so I'd better let General Hai explain it in detail for His Highness.
"
"Old slave?"
Hai Da'a rolled his eyes blankly, and hurriedly declined: "The old slave is just an eunuch who has lived in the palace for a long time. How can he be compared with Lord Shangshu? Of course, no Lord Shangshu knows the whole story."
When Lin Jinxiao saw the two of them pushing and shoving, he immediately became angry and scolded with a sullen look on his face: "What are you two hiding?"
"Your Highness."
Ji Huaishu became angry when he saw him, so he had to bite the bullet and report: "Just before the New Year's Day, great changes occurred in the palace. Situ Yang Runchen conspired with Zhonglang General Pang Yuan to release the imprisoned King Nandu from Youting Palace to launch a campaign.
There has been a palace change."
"Palace change?"
Before Ji Huaishu finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao stood up angrily: "My wife, your Highness, the princess and the two mentors are in danger?"
Only then did he realize that the two of them had been hesitating and hesitating for a long time, fearing that it was because of this that they did not dare to speak.
Ji Huaishu was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly: "Your Highness, please calm down. The princess and everyone are safe and sound. According to the message sent back by Chang Lao, it was the princess who was resourceful this time and made careful arrangements with Princess Shu in advance to deliberately stimulate her.
The Yang family's party forced the palace, completely disintegrating the Yang family's conspiracy."
Seeing that Lin Jinxiao was listening carefully, Ji Huaishu looked at him carefully, and then secretly glanced at Hai Da'a.
But this old eunuch sat calmly like an outsider, which made Ji Huaishu feel puzzled.
After pondering for a while, he could only continue with a grimace: "The princess also discovered two shocking cases through this palace incident. The mastermind behind the murder of the former prince and a group of senior ministers was none other than Yang Runchen, and the old King Qinghe
The assassination was also arranged by him."
"This Yang Situ is truly unfaithful, unkind and unjust. He is unworthy of being a veteran of three dynasties."
Lin Jinxiao shook his head with disdain.
Previously, he and his wife had guessed that the tax case and the Duanlongshan assassination were closely related to this person, but they did not expect that he had committed so many unscrupulous evil things.
"Now that everything has been decided, can the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty allow my wife to return?"
Lin Jinxiao was most worried about Chu Nanzhi's safety now, so he couldn't wait to ask.
I really don’t know how this lady escaped this disaster.
When she was in Luyan Port, I gave her numerous instructions to keep a low profile in everything when she went to Beijing. I didn't expect that this girl would lead such a big drama.
"I heard that our ancestors have passed the decree on behalf of your majesty, and that the princess has been specially appointed as the chief minister to patrol the south of the Yangtze River. She should come back after the New Year."
At this point, Ji Huaishu suddenly paused and never dared to speak the words he had been holding in his heart.
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Jinxiao's calm heart couldn't help but make waves.
Finally, we were able to get the mother and son back to Luyan Port safely before the child was born.
This news is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing of this new year for him.
But seeing that Hai Da'a and Ji Huaishu still had sullen expressions on their faces, he noticed that something seemed amiss, and he frowned and asked, "Is there something else you want to tell me, Lord Shangshu?"
