"Did you see clearly?" Master Shi walked out of the class room with his clothes on. It was still bitingly cold in the early spring night. I was still confused at first, but when I heard that it was about Lao Ba's house, I suddenly woke up.
"See clearly." The speaker was a soldier in his twenties. "I went to see a brother at night. The brother is now working as a guard in the emperor's dormitory. He came back late, and he didn't dare to take the main road...
"
After the curfew in the city, you can't wander around the city without any special reasons. Of course, the control is usually lax, but it doesn't mean that no one cares. If you are caught, you will be punished.
Master Shi waved his hand, "I forgive you, please continue."
"Thank you for your grace." The man saluted and then said: "...The alley is not wide and it is dark everywhere. I am feeling unhappy. I heard the sound of a door opening and closing. The little one leaned over gently.
, hidden in the darkness, I saw someone holding a white lantern, and another person wearing a big cloak whose face could not be seen clearly. There was a sedan parked at the door, waiting for the person wearing the cloak to enter before the sedan left. The servant hurriedly came back to report the news.
.That is indeed the back door of Ba Ye’s mansion.”
Master Shi's hand paused. Who was in the sedan? Why did we meet in the middle of the night? Now, Lao Ba's family is the only one left on the whole street. Next door is Master Long live's mansion. No one will go there without any trouble.
Run.
He did not dare to delay, so he quickly got dressed, mounted his horse and rushed to the palace.
Lin Yutong was sleeping soundly when he heard footsteps, which belonged to the slave Su Peisheng.
She pushed Fourth Master first, "Master, wake up."
The fourth master opened his eyes and heard Su Peisheng's voice, "Long live the master, long live the master, the tenth master wants to see you."
Lao Shi?
The fourth master sat up for a moment, and even Lin Yutong woke up.
It would not be a trivial matter for the nine admirals to ask for an audience in the middle of the night.
Lin Yutong quickly helped the fourth master put on his regular clothes and put on his cloak.
"Go to sleep. It's still early." Fourth Master said before going out.
But Lin Yutong couldn't really sleep, he just hugged the quilt and waited for dawn.
The Tenth Master was waiting in the Yangxin Hall, and when he saw the Fourth Master, he quickly bowed first.
The Fourth Master raised his hand, "What's wrong? You're entering the palace in the middle of the night."
The Fourth Master nodded and motioned to the Tenth Man to sit down and speak slowly.
Only then did Master Shi tell everything he knew. "...I don't know who he is? My brother is not at ease, so I'd better report him quickly."
The Fourth Master felt relieved for the first time. It was a surprise that Lao Shi could react so quickly and report it without hesitation. He smiled and said: "It's okay! I'll have someone go check it out. It's getting late, you're in the palace
Let's take a rest." He said and asked Su Peisheng to make arrangements.
Master Shi really didn’t expect that one day he would be staying in the palace. This had always been the welfare of Old Thirteen. When the old man was here, he had never lived in the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart.
The fourth master turned around and went back. Seeing that Lin Yutong was still awake, he smiled and said, "Did you scare me?"
"No?" Lin Yutong reached out to unbutton his clothes, "I'm a little worried."
"It's okay, there was a sedan coming and going at Lao Ba's place in the middle of the night. News will come later." The fourth master lifted the quilt and lay down on it again, not seeming to be very concerned about it.
"There are still people chasing Lao Ba?" Lin Yutong expressed surprise.
"I can't tell." Fourth Master shook his head, "Let's go to bed first. We won't make any waves."
The next day, as soon as we got together, Fourth Master received a note from below. After reading it, he sneered and handed the note to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong took it and saw it said, 'Nian faked his death and escaped.'
What does this mean? Why do you ask Nian to fake his own death?
Lin Yutong was puzzled. She raised her head and glanced behind the screen. A thought flashed in her mind and she couldn't help but said: "Could it be that he wants to..."
"What are you thinking about?" Fourth Master was washing up inside and said vaguely: "Go on."
Lin Yutong chased him inside and said, "He wants to change Nian's appearance and send him to the palace?"
The Fourth Master was gargling his mouth when he sprayed it. He choked and coughed.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Yutong knew that his guess was probably outrageous.
The fourth master waited for a long time before saying: "I really don't know whether you should be smart or confused. The dignified 'Eight Wise Kings' would not be such a mean person." He smiled, "No matter how miserable he is, the eighth master is still the eighth master."
Master, he can't do this thing of giving women away. This matter has something to do with the government, and has nothing to do with all the men and women things you have in your mind." He patted Lin Yutong's shoulder and comforted him.
: "Let's play with the princesses. You can't understand these things. I taught the princesses how to wear forehead consorts in the harem, so you can take credit for it."
With that said, he wiped his face, got up and left.
What does it mean? Look down on people?
Lin Yutong blinked his eyes. When I talk about this person, you should speak clearly! What do you mean by hanging someone up like this?
It wasn't until Honghui and Hongyun came to pay their respects that Lin Yutong found someone to ask for advice.
Both of them first asked the Tenth Master about entering the palace in the middle of the night. Lin Yutong naturally would not hide it and told the two children what he knew.
"Your Ama didn't explain it clearly to me. What does this mean?" Lin Yutong was still thinking about this matter. After all, Nian was so favored in history. She always thought that it would be difficult to get rid of her.
. He had already entered Ba Ye's house, but he didn't expect to escape halfway. This was simply a miracle. Lin Yutong could only explain it by saying that he was destined by fate.
Hong Yun curled his lips, "Isn't this obvious? The Qinghai-Tibet side is not quiet. Originally, when the late emperor was there, there were plans to use troops. But because of the late emperor's sudden death, the matter was shelved. Now there is more and more chaos there.
Huang Ama is probably still weighing the candidates in her heart. But there are only a few people who can lead troops in the court. These include the Thirteenth Uncle, the Fourteenth Uncle, and the Tenth Uncle. It can be said that
Nian Gengyao really has the ability to do his part. In addition, he has credit for counterinsurgency, but he can't be dealt with. If he wants to use it, he has to worry about his relationship with his eighth uncle. Nian Gengyao is probably also very good.
Worry. If we don't remove this layer of relationship, he will always be idle. In fact, the best way is for Nian to die suddenly." He said and shook his head, "So, Nian died suddenly! Hanged himself. If it happens again
It would be perfect to leave a suicide note saying that he was mistreated and bullied by the eighth aunt. In the eyes of outsiders, it was the eighth aunt who killed the daughter of the Nian family. The eighth uncle has always respected the eighth aunt and will definitely stand by the eighth aunt.
So the Nian family fell in love with Uncle Eighth." He spread his hands and said, "It's done. It would be better if everyone knew about it and made a fuss about it."
Lin Yutong felt dizzy after hearing this. Sure enough, politics requires talent. He could only deal with the issue of men and women, and it turned out that the root was here.
Honghui smiled and said, "Nian Gengyao is capable, but he's really hard to control. But that's fine. He's so well-behaved on the surface, but it's even harder to deal with..."
Hongyun nodded in agreement.
Lin Yutong looked at Honghui with some confusion, but Honghui and Hongyun had no intention of talking. They had errands to do, so they got up and left.
Hongshi was left holding the sesame cake to eat. Lin Yutong handed him a glass of water, "I can only eat this one more. Don't eat too much."
Hongshi nodded very obediently.
What a good child. She sat aside and thought of Honghui's words again: "...What do you mean?"
Hongshi continued while eating: "This is not simple. If you have ability, use it. If you are unruly, you will be full of shortcomings. When you want to clean up, you will have a lot of pigtails. Such a person can be used!
But before using it, you have to think about how to throw it away after use!”
As he said that, he stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth and poured half a cup of warm water into his stomach. "Mother Huang, my son has gone to class." Then he ran away in a bound.
"Hey... I said... I'm stupid, am I?" Lin Yutong really felt that he was not a stupid person, but every time he was beaten by other people's IQ.
After a while, Aunt Yuan came. "There was news from the clan's mansion that Nian had hanged herself and left a suicide note, saying that she could not bear the humiliation. There were rumors outside that Bafu Jin was the most evil woman.
The poisonous woman. The Nian family is in trouble with the Eighth Master. The Eighth Master said that this is purely false and a slander. He said that Bafujin has always treated the Nian family as close as sisters and has no relationship. The clan's mansion has already sent someone to deal with it.
"
Lin Yutong was stunned. This was very consistent with what Hong Yun had imagined.
But thinking about Bafujin, Lin Yutong's heart was particularly blocked.
She must be very grateful to Master Ba now. When everyone was criticizing her, he stood firmly by her side.
Master Ba was sitting alone in the study, leaning on the back of the chair. He showed goodwill to the Nian family, and there was little chance of getting anything in return, but it was the only thing he had a chance to seize.
When Nian gave birth, no doctor could be found. This was very interesting. He realized at that time that the Nian family was afraid that Nian would die suddenly through Nian's delivery.
He didn't have many children, so no matter what, Nian still had his own flesh and blood in his belly.
I stayed in the delivery room, and the midwife and doctor in the Nian family failed. However, the baby was still somewhat injured.
Nian is very smart, so she naturally noticed the trick.
If she were still his side, the Nian family or Nian Gengyao would kill her.
"I am actually not my legitimate daughter. I was raised by my legitimate mother since she was a child." Nian told herself.
Almost no one in the capital knew about this matter, because at that time, Nian Xia was serving abroad.
Nian Gengyao really wouldn't have any scruples if she wasn't a sister of the same brother.
But he couldn't watch her die.
On one side is Fujin's reputation, on the other side is Nian's life.
He chose to sacrifice Fujin's reputation. No matter what others said, he would always be with her. He also planned to send all the women in the house to Zhuangzi, and he would only guard her from now on. This was considered compensation.
