Concubine Gaomen (50)

The purple wisteria planted in the spring, under the care of Lin Yutong, has grown very well. Older purple wisteria trees have been planted along the verandah and on both sides of the corridor. After transplantation, the purple wisteria immediately took root and spread in the east garden.

Now, the strings of purple flowers hang down, like a waterfall of flowers.

There is no such beautiful scenery in the entire garden of Duke Jinguo's Mansion.

Lin Yutong was the most ordinary person. Seeing that the flowers were blooming well, he took a few girls to pick them and make wisteria cakes. "The ones that were no longer used were steamed and dried. After the season, there are still some to eat."

She made the cakes to give away to others, but how much could she eat? Besides, the last thing Fourth Master wanted to eat was something made by flowers.

Man Yue came back from outside with a basket. She was going to deliver flowers to each room. "Master, I went to deliver flowers to the second mistress today, and I met the eldest girl..."

Lin Yuzhi?

Her belly is more than seven months old now, right? With a big belly, why are you running around?

"Do you know what you are doing?" Lin Yutong stood under the flower stand, using scissors to cut off the flower strings that had hung down on people's shoulders, and then put them in a basket on the side.

While pointing to Lin Yutong which bunch of flowers bloomed best, Man Yue said, "I don't know what I'm going to do. It's just that the second grandma and the eldest girl have been very close recently."

Lin Yutong thought to herself: If you dare to get involved with Qi Duo'er, you haven't suffered enough yet. She shook her head: "Just be careful and don't worry too much. Just do whatever you want." She was just curious about Chu Huaiyu.

Actually looking like this.

Man Yue responded with a smile and said: "Master, you don't know, now people in this house say that you must be a golden branch and a jade leaf."

"What's there to say?" Lin Yutong put down the scissors, took the handkerchief from the little girl's hand, wiped his hands, and turned to ask Man Yue.

Man Yue raised her head and pointed at the purple wisteria blooming all over the yard, "If you look at our yard from outside, it's all purple. Everyone says that this is the purple energy coming from the east, and noble people will appear. Besides, who has seen it?

The newly transplanted purple wisteria is growing so well and the flowers are blooming so vigorously."

Lin Yutong laughed and said, "You can say whatever you want." It was really far-fetched.

Because there are such rumors in the capital, she no longer dares to go out. She hides at home to avoid the limelight. Even the fourth master has to keep a low profile when he goes out. There are so many people trying to get close to him. If we really pay it forward,

I can feel a little calmer in my heart. But what is fake is fake. If I really feel at ease, I am afraid that the palace will not be happy.

The master and servant talked and went into the house. The sun was out now, and the clothes on their bodies seemed a little heavy. While Sanxi was waiting for Lin Yutong to change, he reported back: "I sent someone to send wisteria cakes to Master Guo.

Mrs. Guo also returned the gift..."

Mr. Guo is Guo Changhe, whom Fourth Master previously said he wanted to stretch out. I haven’t seen this person in the past two months, but I still have contact with him.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "Are you sending dried tofu as before?"

"No." There was a strange look on Sanxi's face, "The gifts this time are tofu** and stinky tofu..."

Lin Yutong's hand suddenly stopped, "This person is really not very likable. It's because the tofu made at home was not sold out, and he couldn't keep it in the hot weather, so he made it into tofu** and stinky tofu."

Sanxi chuckled, she had thought so before.

Lin Yutong said bitterly: "It's just right when you bring it, and it's just right when you dip it in steamed buns."

"Why do you use steamed buns for dipping?" Fourth Master came back from outside and came in to ask.

Lin Yutong stepped forward to unbutton his clothes, "The weather is getting hot. When the sun comes out, it's very hot."

"It's okay." Fourth Master allowed Lin Yutong to take off his outer clothes before going in to freshen up.

Lin Yutong hugged the clothes and followed him inside again, "How is it outside?"

"Guo Changhe does have some skills. This spring flood passed so dangerously." The fourth master said, he simply took off his clothes to take a bath and got directly into the tub.

Lin Yutong put down his clothes, stood up and took a water ladle to wash the fourth master's hair, "But I still don't know, how did you ask the emperor to use Guo Changhe?"

Fourth Master chuckled: "Did you forget someone?"

"Who?" Lin Yutong kept washing the fourth master's hair with his hands, and asked, "Who did I forget?"

"The people around the late emperor," Fourth Master reminded, "do you still remember?"

Lin Yutong suddenly realized: "You mean Guo Yi who was beside the late emperor! Where is he now?"

"He is guarding the late emperor's mausoleum." The fourth master said and sighed, "He is also a loyal servant, and he is quite busy secretly."

Lin Yutong was stunned: "What does he hate? He hates the current emperor in his heart and plans to take revenge?"

The fourth master nodded: "Looking at it now, it is the same thing. He has sent messages to his disciples and grandsons in the palace more than once. It seems that he is looking for something in the late emperor's palace?"

"What are you looking for?" Lin Yutong bent down and scooped a ladle of water for Fourth Master to rinse his hair, and then said: "You suspect that he is looking for a token to contact the secret guard."

Fourth Master closed his eyes and wiped the water on his face with his hand, "Well! He is with the late emperor. Even though the late emperor is secretive, there is no guarantee that he will not find some clues. At this time, he probably wants to use the power of the secret guard.

…”

Lin Yutong said 'hmm', and handed the handkerchief beside the bathtub to the fourth master and asked him to wipe the water from his eyes to save the discomfort, "I kind of understand. On the one hand, he wants to use the power of the secret guard. On the other hand, he wants to use the power of the secret guard.

He has not stopped seeking revenge either. But this revenge must come from the late emperor’s son..."

"It's hard to say. But just because there is nothing he can do against the emperor, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything against the people who betrayed the late emperor." The fourth master opened his eyes, "The late emperor said the word 'three' to him before he died. This matter was later revealed.

This was told to Emperor Yongkang. Emperor Yongkang didn't know that there was an eldest brother who was a concubine above them, but he didn't think about it elsewhere, let alone that the 'three' represented might be himself. So,

Guo Yi said that it was at this time that the emperor left his last words, asking him to guard the mausoleum as his companion for three years. The emperor did not bother him any more. By guarding the mausoleum, he was completely out of everyone's sight. Seeing that he was in a hurry to find contact secretly.

I asked someone to make a fake token of the guard, and then sent a special person to contact him. While he asked the secret guard to contact the prince, he also asked the secret guard to check the background of the third-rank and above officials in the capital. Then I easily took Guo

Chang He was pushed out. He hated these ministers who betrayed the late emperor, especially Chu Yuan."

Lin Yutong didn't understand again: "In other words, Guo Yi thought he had mastered the secret guard. In fact, every move he made had to go through you. He became a pawn and shield for you without knowing it. But he wanted to get rid of Chu

Yuan, and wanted to replace Chu Yuan with a so-called one of his own, but how did he recommend the person to the emperor? "

The fourth master stood up and glanced at Lin Yutong with the water splash he brought. He smiled and wiped Lin Yutong's face with his wet hands. The more he wiped it, the wetter it became. Then he laughed in a low voice: "He will tell the story of what the late emperor didn't have time to explain."

He explained everything to the emperor. For example, which courtiers had spies buried in their houses, and which ones the late emperor trusted and which ones he did not trust. And Chu Yuan was said by him to be someone the late emperor had planned to replace. And how did the late emperor investigate?

Guo Changhe, these things are true and false, and it is difficult to tell for a while. But the emperor got what he wanted from these words. Guo Yi gained the emperor's trust to a certain extent."

"And you quietly pushed Guo Changhe in front of the emperor." Lin Yutong saw that he was dry, and then handed him the robe, "The emperor quickly summoned Guo Changhe and adopted him

suggestion. And this happened just after we reminded Guo Changhe that someone might inquire about him. Therefore, Guo Changhe always thought that it was us two uninvited guests who introduced him. Immediately afterwards, it was reported that I was a golden branch and jade leaf, and Guo Changhe

He suddenly felt that he had found the truth. He thought that the princess and the consort who were hiding among the people were working for the emperor."

The fourth master nodded: "You must be close to ten. But at this time, Guo Changhe sent a post and walked around with us, and it didn't seem awkward at all."

Because of such inexplicable interactions, more and more people are coming together. The Guo family really doesn’t pay much attention. No one would have thought of the kind of relationship between the two families.

Lin Yutong was a little confused by Fourth Master's circle, "Are you planning to use Guo Yi's hand to take down Chu Yuan?"

The fourth master shook his head: "It's hard to say now, the plan can't change quickly! The key is that Guo Yi wants to support the prince, but the prince wants to use the Chu family. The queen wants to choose a girl from the Chu family to be the crown prince."

Lin Yutong was stunned: "The queen's choice is actually... not wrong."

It is indeed the safest choice to choose a family with the ability to follow the dragon as the prince's in-law.

"The only thing she didn't consider was the ambition of the Chu family and the emperor's character." Lin Yutong shook his head, "The queen is now like a blindfolded donkey, spinning back and forth without knowing it."

The Fourth Master put on the clothes and said, "Just watch! If it doesn't go well, the Queen and the Li family will be the driving force behind the demise of the Chu family."

Yes! The Chu family is restless. If they get involved with the prince again, how can the emperor ignore it? The good days of the Chu family are really numbered.

Lin Yutong saw that Fourth Master had taken another piece of clothing to wear when going out, and looked at the sky outside, "It's noon, are you still going out?"

"It's not enough to have civil servants. We have to have the support of military generals." Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong on the shoulder, "I'm going to see the Marquis of Jing'an. This man is a very interesting person."

Here, Lin Yutong dried the fourth master's hair and combed it. He was about to send him out, but he didn't expect anyone from the palace to come.

Concubine Chen sent someone to take Lin Yutong into the palace.

"Go and do your work." Lin Yutong urged Fourth Master to go out, "We're just entering the palace, don't worry."

"How smart you are." Fourth Master looked outside and then whispered: "Remember, no matter what you think in your heart, you must keep the word 'stable'. No matter how others argue, it has nothing to do with us.

.As the saying goes, things that seem to be subject to debate should actually be without debate. If you argue, it will appear chaotic, but if you don't argue, it will appear serious."

Lin Yutong nodded, indicating that he remembered it. Recently, his mind has been filled with the history books that Fourth Master talked about. He didn't remember anything else. She remembered the word "not in a hurry" accurately. Li Chengqian was anxious, took risks, and finally fell into a conspiracy to gain victory.

Sin. The king of Wei was so anxious that he deceived the king and deceived the emperor. In the end, he failed and was demoted.

Until he was sitting on the carriage entering the palace, Lin Yutong was still replaying three words in his mind: Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry!

Mrs. Gan had not seen Lin Yutong for two months. Seeing that she seemed to have grown taller, she smiled and said: "I have a lot of materials here, which are very plain. I will take them with me when I go back to make two more clothes for myself."

.In the future, you will have more and more opportunities to go out and enter the palace. Don't let others look at you as shabby."

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, "We're not in a hurry." Going to the palace frequently in the future is definitely not good news for him.

Mrs. Gan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What's the rush? I also know that you have been in the limelight in the capital recently. But it's useless for you to just avoid these things." She pointed to the east, "Your Majesty

Now that he has played such a card, he has to continue singing the show." As she spoke, her voice lowered, "The emperor didn't ask me to tell you the truth..."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yutong looked at Gan in disbelief, "What do you mean by this?"

Gan smiled sarcastically: "He has also investigated your matter. It is true that you are not favored in the Lin family. Therefore, he feels that even if I tell you that he is your biological father, you will firmly believe that I am not.

Doubtful."

Lin Yutong blinked twice, "Does he want not only the world to believe, but also me to believe that he is my biological father?"

Mrs. Gan nodded, "My child, who are your biological parents? This is not what adults say. Lin Changgen denied that you are his daughter in disguise, and the emperor is eager to recognize you. Who would know about you?
