The atmosphere in the palace was as cold as the weather. Lin Yutong tightened the cloak around his body, sat on a carriage and walked slowly towards the palace. Many people died in the palace last night. Most of these people should be
She died unjustly. She saw things she shouldn't have seen and heard things she shouldn't have heard. Wasn't she killed without mercy? And the person who did it was undoubtedly Gan. The people in this palace now treat her like
You must be both afraid and afraid. Anyway, the palace attendants who took you into the palace seemed very respectful. Regardless of whether they came to talk to you or not, they all lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at Lin Yutong from the corner of their eyes.
In this world, if there is no sound, it would actually be very scary. The palace is so scary now. Apart from the sound of the wind, there is no human voice. There is not even the sound of cats and dogs. It makes people feel depressed for no reason.
Lin Yutong entered the palace at the fastest speed this time. He did not need to go to greet the queen first, and successfully met Concubine Chen. In fact, people may not meet the queen when greeting her. But this is the rule. This time, Jianyu directly
Entering Beichen Palace, Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows. He felt that Gan's attitude towards the Queen seemed to have changed again.
"Are you okay?" Lin Yutong came in and saw Mr. Gan leaning on the couch rubbing his forehead, so he asked first.
Mr. Gan shook his head: "I'm fine." In fact, my head still hurts a little now, probably due to the aftereffects of the medicine.
Lin Yutong looked at Gan's pupils and could see that they were a little dizzy. He immediately knew her physical condition and that she was fine. But since she insisted on saying that she was fine, Lin Yutong stopped asking any more questions. He immediately changed the subject and said:
"Everything is going wrong now. If you are fine here, will it make people think too much?"
"What does other people's overthinking have to do with me?" Mrs. Gan laughed mockingly, pointed to the side of her throat, and asked Lin Yutong to sit down before saying, "As long as the emperor doesn't overthink."
This is also true!
"How is the emperor?" Lin Yutong followed her words and asked.
"It's nothing serious." Mrs. Gan pursed her lips and smiled, "Liao Xu is accompanying the emperor."
What's so funny about this?
Regardless of Liao Xu's medical skills or his identity as a Taoist priest, it is normal for him to appear next to the emperor at this time. Why is she laughing?
As if Mrs. Gan could see Lin Yutong's doubts, the expression on her face slowly calmed down a little, and she only said: "Lin Fanghua has had a miscarriage."
Why did you jump to this question again? Is it because Lin Fanghua came here to have a miscarriage and is in a good mood? This is not right! Lin Fanghua's miscarriage is not good for Gan? She said this as if she was deliberately changing the subject.
Lin Yutong pretended not to know and showed a slightly surprised look, "This... is quite a pity."
"What are you regretting?" An unknown smile appeared at the corner of Gan's mouth again, "Now that she has tasted the sweetness of pregnancy, she will not stop."
Lin Yutong didn't care about this at all. She wanted to know how Gan planned to deal with such a thing happening in the palace. Now, even she was within the plot of Princess Duanqin. Then, in the future, would there be any courtiers?
, noble people will often see ghosts. When all the people in the capital see ghosts, people will be panicked, and that will lead to serious troubles. "Do you have an idea?" she asked.
Mr. Gan snorted and said, "Clue? It's not me who told people to be haunted. We are not in a hurry."
Lin Yutong felt that Mrs. Gan seemed to be in a good mood. She mentioned, "Last night, it was not peaceful over there either."
Gan was startled and looked Lin Yutong up and down: "Are you okay?"
Lin Yutong shook his head: "It's okay. After all, it's in Duke Jin's mansion, and it's not easy to come and go freely."
Mr. Gan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems I was right! This person is trying to cause trouble."
Sure enough! How could Mr. Gan not understand things that he could understand?
"Yes! There is going to be a big trouble." Lin Yutong said, looking at Gan's expression with a vague expression.
Mrs. Gan whispered: "There's been trouble, isn't it okay?"
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat: "Where can there be good in the chaos? You are..."
"You kid..." Mr. Gan shook his head, "Why are you so soft-hearted? If the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come. But how can the old one go away? You have to break it! You have no power, you have to
With the help of external forces, only after breaking the old can someone rebuild the new. And the person who can rebuild is the one who gets to the top again. I think you should understand this truth."
Lin Yutong looked at Mrs. Gan seriously. Her eyes were as black as a deep pool, and Lin Yutong could see the ambition that was about to move.
"I don't agree." Lin Yutong said calmly, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? How many people's livelihoods will be affected because of this..."
"I will compensate them in the future." Gan waved his hand, "This sacrifice is really nothing!"
It’s not you who has to make sacrifices in your relationship!
Lin Yutong frowned, "You have to think about it. Everyone in the world is watching with open eyes. Even if the emperor has bad personal ethics, there is nothing to criticize in political affairs."
"But I handle all political affairs." Mrs. Gan's face showed a bit of anger, "Do you know how hard it is for me to do all this behind the scenes? You are not in the position to seek political affairs. How can you understand the hard work involved?
Do you understand? I have no contact with the courtiers. How many wrongful paths have to be taken to get something done? Do you understand the helplessness involved? If you haven’t reached this position, you don’t understand at all. Last spring, I wanted to call all places
According to the local conditions, some water storage pools were built, so that there would be some protection during droughts and floods. The emperor was like a miser. After the household account was taken into account, he wished he could not take out even a tael of silver. But a court can only use silver.
The warehouses are full, but no food can be collected. When the time comes, can money be enough to pay for the food? It’s not that the emperor doesn’t understand this, it’s just because he feels that the tail left by King Duan has not been cleaned up, and he is afraid of being punished.
There are remnants of King Duan who are colluding with the prince. It is a trivial matter to embezzle this money. What if the money is used to raise private soldiers again? If it is so choked and unable to move forward, what hope does this court have! And what I want to do is,
The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. The sacrifice now is only temporary, and in the future... it will slowly get better."
Lin Yutong pursed her lips and fell silent, because she could tell that she had made up her mind.
When Mrs. Gan saw that Lin Yutong did not insist anymore, the look on her face softened, and she waved her hand and said: "That's all, you don't understand these government affairs. It's understandable that you can't figure it out for a while. I originally had something to do.
You go do it, now... forget it... but recently, don't leave the house, stay in the house honestly. Remember, don't go out and run around without me!"
He asked himself to come, but dismissed him like this. Lin Yutong didn't know what Gan meant, but he still stood up, saluted, and slowly withdrew.
Aunt He looked at Mrs. Gan with some worry: "Master, didn't you say you wanted to train the girl?" Why did she let him go without saying anything.
Mrs. Gan shook her head: "You heard what she meant. We have quite a lot of differences. I'm afraid that if I ask her to take over, she will go against her will."
Aunt He smiled and said: "When did the girl stop listening to what the master said? You just tried to reason with her, but didn't the girl say nothing after that?"
Gan's brows furrowed even more tightly: "This child looks like me, but not like me. She is softer than me, but just as stubborn as me. She doesn't speak because she knows she can't convince me. She is
She understands my temperament, so she doesn't bother to talk to me. In fact, her inner thoughts... I'm not sure... Anyway, her little thoughts haven't changed at all. She still thinks that my actions and ideas are wrong, and she doesn't care.
The life and death of the people. Tell me, can she really do what I tell her like this?"
Aunt He stopped talking, silently stepped back and sighed.
Mrs. Gan looked at Aunt He, "Don't sigh all the time. It's okay to have some differences between mother and daughter. How can I really piss her off? It's because I can't help her these years. Besides, what's the point?
It crawled out of my belly. I have to take responsibility for giving birth to it. Who can I blame?"
Aunt He glanced outside and whispered: "The girl is smart, I'm afraid that after this happens, she will guess it..." Don't keep silent until the time comes, and you will have knots in your heart.
Mrs. Gan waved her hands irritably: "It's nothing! Let's coax her. Isn't her little son-in-law not on errands yet? If he is given an errand by then, what else can she do?" She didn't want to continue this topic, so she just said: "
Go send a message to your cousin and ask him to do it. Also, keep it secret from Shi Zhongyu."
This was because he was afraid that Shi Zhongyu would reveal the news to Lin Yutong.
Grandma He responded, then turned around and retreated.
Mr. Gan slowly closed his eyes. This opportunity was fleeting. No matter what, he had to seize it. This was much better than his original plan.
The strange atmosphere in the palace seemed to be spreading infection, quickly spreading outside the palace.
Guo Changhe drank some wine with many of his subordinates who were paying New Year's greetings in front of him. When he returned from the front yard to the backyard, he was a little confused. He was famous for being a picky person, and his servants rarely used them. Even lanterns were not used in the yard.
A few of them were swaying in the wind. The swaying branches were a little twisted under the light and shadow, which made people feel chilly for no reason.
Could it be that he was really frightened by the rumors in the palace? Guo Changhe felt a little contempt for himself.
He took two steps forward and suddenly felt that the shadow under his feet was wrong! It was not his own shadow, and the shadow seemed to be taller than the average person's shadow.
Who is this? He raised his head, but there was no one in front of him. He turned around, but there was still no one behind him. He looked around, but found no one else. But when he lowered his head, the shadow really existed and had not changed in any way.
His heart skipped a beat because he discovered that the shadow was moving with his movements.
There is no one, but there are figures.
What's this?
His calf suddenly became weak. He stood stiffly for a while, and then he suddenly remembered: They say ghosts have no shadows, so those who have shadows now must not be ghosts.
"Who is that person?" Guo Changhe shouted suddenly, "Who is that person? He is pretending to be a ghost! Come out!"
He looked around in circles, trying to find any flaws. But there was only the sound of wind in his ears, and there was nothing.
I was stunned when I heard a scream from the inner courtyard.
Guo Changhe felt bad, so he immediately woke up from the wine and ran inside.
In the inner courtyard, everyone from the woman guarding the courtyard to the old married woman looked at the screen wall that had just entered the courtyard with trepidation. On the screen wall, there was something like a painting painted with blood. There were two pictures in the painting.
A man, in the shape of an evil ghost, with bleeding from seven orifices, and a big bloody hole on the head of the other. The shape is like an evil ghost! But unfortunately, one of the two people is wearing a dragon robe, and the other is wearing a python robe. You can see the boots on his feet, and the other is five years old.
The golden dragon with toes and the golden python with four claws.
Guo Changhe's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this painting the death state of the late emperor and Prince Duan?
At this time, his heart really started to feel cold. This wasn't a ghost, this was someone making trouble.
When people make trouble, it's much scarier than when ghosts make trouble.
At the Marquis of Jing'an's house, the Marquis of Jing'an was about to take a rest. Footsteps suddenly started outside, "Master Marquis, go and have a look. Something happened to His Highness!"
In this prince's mansion, the only one who can be called your highness is my old wife, Princess Wenhui.
When they were young, the husband and wife naturally slept together. But as they grew older, they slept separately. He lived in the outer courtyard, and the eldest princess lived in the inner courtyard.
Marquis Jing'an was wearing his undergarment and wrapped himself in a cloak, "What happened? Are you sick?"
The grandma was trembling, her voice seemed to be trembling, "Go...go and have a look...and you will know."
Marquis Jing'an's heart skipped a beat, and without saying a word, he immediately went to the inner courtyard.
In the inner room, the eldest princess was trembling all over, huddled in the corner of the bed with a livid face, and no one came near. The people in the room, surrounded by three floors inside and three outside, were all personal attendants and children and grandchildren. What would happen to her?
People are so scared.
Marquis Jing'an frowned and waved his hand, dismissing everyone in the room. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand, "Hui'er, it's me."
The eldest princess grabbed the hand of Marquis Jing'an and said, "Consort! Consort! The late emperor...it's the late emperor who's here...it's the late emperor who's here to complain to me. He's blaming me! He's blaming me! He's blaming me for not watching.
Since he died so unjustly, he should not surrender to the murderer. He was wronged..."
Any injustice?
Too many people have died unjustly!
Marquis Jing'an didn't take it seriously, but still nodded: "What happened to the late Emperor? Have you seen the late Emperor?"
The eldest princess had a look of horror on her face and pointed towards the pillow, "Go and take a look at that."
Marquis Jing'an looked over and saw a white jade Buddha's hand lying next to the pillow. It was the size of a palm. It was extremely rare in terms of jade quality and carving.
"This is?" Marquis Jing'an was a little confused.
The tears of the eldest princess suddenly fell down, "This Buddha's hand was given to me by my father when I was a child. At that time, my younger brother also wanted it, and we even quarreled over it. The late emperor went away and was buried.
, I personally pressed this thing into the late emperor’s hand. If he likes it, let him take it with him. But now this thing has come back! Who else could it be if he wasn’t the late emperor?”
Marquis Jing'an could not think of such a thing and said: "This is not the late emperor..."
"Yes, yes! Yes!" The eldest princess became stubborn, "It must be the late emperor."
I couldn't even listen to any explanation.
Marquis Jing'an looked at the Buddha's hand and said to himself, if you can put it in, you don't know if others will take it out secretly.
In the previous dynasty, after the emperor was encased, the eunuchs who served beside him would take out the contents before sealing the coffin. After the coffin was sealed, who would go to inspect it? After ten or twenty years, no one would notice.
When the time comes, it’s okay to sell the thing. Therefore, this thing should not be buried with the late emperor. It’s just that I don’t know how the person who did this was caught by the person behind the scenes, and then he took this thing as his own. Now.
But he comes here to pretend to be a ghost.
But she wanted to say this, but the eldest princess couldn't listen to her at the moment.
Marquis Jing'an could only say: "The late emperor was worried about you and knew that you liked this thing, so he sent it back to you. But he didn't want to scare you instead."
The eldest princess frowned: "Are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you in this life?" Marquis Jing'an pulled the eldest princess, "Okay, go to sleep. I won't go to the front tonight and will rest here. You can sleep peacefully. I am
People who have narrowly escaped death on the battlefield have a strong sense of hostility and are impervious to all evil. It’s okay!”
The expression on the face of the eldest princess relaxed, but her hand still held Marquis Jing'an's hand. Marquis Jing'an felt sad when he looked at his old wife's gray hair. He felt even more sad about the people behind the scenes.
I hated it.
Since the death of the late emperor, the health of the eldest princess has really deteriorated. Now this fright made her feel much older in an instant. Watching her lie down, he also lay beside her, curling up with her.
He leaned on himself and gently patted her to sleep. But his mind had already drifted away. Originally, he wanted to guard the border, but now, the situation has changed suddenly, and the original plan may not be possible.
Lin Yutong turned over and turned to look at Fourth Master, "...she seemed to want me to confine myself in the palace. If I really go out, she will probably have to confine me in the palace. I don't want to scream."
I messed up her affairs. But I really can't look at her like this and not care about anything."
The fourth master said 'hmm', "Princess Duanqin has become Gan's pawn this time. She is charging in the front, and Gan is fanning the flames from behind... Based on what she said when you enter the palace today, she
I'm afraid that not only does she want to fan the flames, but she also wants to fish in troubled waters. The more chaotic the water, the better."
Lin Yutong's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth moved.
Fourth Master turned to look at Lin Yutong: "What did you think of?"
Lin Yutong whispered: "We only have secret guards in our hands, but it's still not enough. Originally, the Marquis of Jing'an was able to guard the border, so we took the opportunity to extend our hands to the army. But now, the water from far away cannot quench the thirst for near."
"Want to quench your thirst with water nearby?" Fourth Master suddenly smiled, "You have really made progress now. It is really rare to be able to think of this level. There are always hands nearby, think about it..."
An idea flashed in Lin Yutong's mind, and he sat up suddenly, "You mean... breaking the crossbow army!"
Fourth Master nodded, "Now it is in Jin Chengan's hands, but it shouldn't be difficult to get it into our hands."
Yes! Yes! The army is a sharp blade, and it can be used by whoever holds it.
"I'll see Chu Huaiyu first tomorrow." Lin Yutong lay down and felt relaxed.
As soon as a person relaxes, sleepiness will come immediately.
Just as my eyelids started to tremble, I heard the sound of gongs beating outside, followed immediately by the sound of someone shouting 'fire'.
The Fourth Master suddenly got up and said, "The sound came from the west."
In this mansion, they live in the east, and those who live in the west, the sound can still be transmitted, it should be within the range of the mansion. Once the fire breaks out, it is no joke. Pavilions, pavilions, corridors, all connected
Yes, once it catches fire, no one can escape.
Lin Yutong's expression changed, and her lips pressed together tightly. The person who came up last night was sent by Princess Duanqin. It is estimated that because the manpower at hand was limited and could not withstand the loss, so he only dared to poison in such a sneaky way. But
The people tonight are much more courageous. Obviously, it is no longer the person who is going to marry Princess Duan. It should be the Gan family.
Gan asked her to enter the palace today, probably because she asked her to do this. She pretended to be a member of Prince Duan's palace and caused chaos everywhere. It was just because she had differences with her that she put away this idea. She just didn't know
Who is the person who did this for her?
Now that a fire has been set in Duke Jin's mansion, has she never thought that she is also in this mansion? What if something happens?
Lin Yutong felt a little heavy and a little chilly.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong shook his head: "No! Don't I also have reservations about her? I can't blame others!"
While talking, Sanxi and Guiwu were already outside.
"Master, the fire started in the outer courtyard." Guixi replied from outside.
Outer courtyard?
"Who lives in the outer courtyard tonight?" Fourth Master asked while getting dressed.
"The Duke is in the outer courtyard." Guiwu's voice was a little hesitant, "And it seems that the fire started in the study of the Duke."
Jin Chengan was in the study, and the fire started from inside.
It’s not that the person who set the fire is very capable, it’s that Jin Chengan set the fire himself.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master packed up and hurried over. Sure enough, they could see a fire in the distance.
The two of them were the last to arrive. When they arrived, no one put out the fire, and they all stared blankly at the outer wall of the study.
On the wall, the two blood-red ghosts looked like they had been skinned. But the patterns on their bodies clearly showed their extraordinary identities.
The one with bleeding from his seven orifices is the late emperor, and the one with bloody holes on his head is Prince Duan.
The more fierce the fire burned, the clearer the paintings on the wall became, and the more intense the color of the blood became.
"Blood...blood...look...the ground is covered with blood..." someone shouted with a sharp voice.
Lin Yutong looked at the ground. Sure enough, blood seemed to be emerging from the ground. The ground slowly turned red. It was like blood was constantly emerging from the ground, dyeing the ground red.
Lin Yutong thought to himself, there are many chemical reagents that can turn red. The higher the temperature, the redder the color. Nowadays, those charlatans have similar things in their hands. They don't take them to heart.
Just look at Jin Chengan who is standing aside. He is wearing underwear, with black ash and fire marks on his clothes, and the hair on his head is messy. This proves that he was indeed in the study when the fire broke out.
. And it has stopped.
"Fighting the fire! What are you doing standing still?" Fourth Master shouted, "Everyone who puts out the fire tonight will get a tael of gold! Hurry!"
One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver!
Having money can make the devil push the mill; having more money can make the mill push the ghost.
The still picture suddenly came to life as if a switch had been turned on.
The fourth master called a few more guards and pushed the corridor connected to the study from the middle.
In this way, these few rooms are isolated to prevent the fire from spreading. It doesn't matter if only those few houses are burned down. They will need to be renovated anyway.
Snowflakes were flying in the sky, and the snow fell on the ground. The snow in front of the study also turned red. It looked so weird and strange.
Mrs. Chu looked up and saw Lin Yutong reaching out to twist up the dirt on the ground, and sneered: "The origin is not the right way, and the ghosts and gods are angry..."
Before he could say anything, he heard a crisp slap.
Lin Yutong didn't look back, knowing that it was Jin Chengan who made the move.
"Shut up!" Jin Chengan scolded.
This is not only saying that Princess Lin Yutong has a bad origin, but also alluding to the emperor's throne being erroneous. She is blaming Chu Yuan's death on the emperor. She usually hates it in her heart.
, but facing Lin Yutong, there was nothing he could do. Now that he saw the late emperor appearing, he probably felt that someone was supporting him.
What a fool! Dead is dead! If the dead were more useful than the living, this world would be the same as it is now.
"What did your Highness see?" Jin Cheng'an asked behind him when he saw Lin Yutong looking seriously.
Lin Yutong clapped his hands: "This is ***!"
Jin Cheng'an's eyes flashed, as if he had known this was adultery. Seeing Lin Yutong's affirmation, he said, "Your Highness, do you want to enter the palace?"
Go to the palace to explain the situation?
Forget it.
"This is a matter of the previous dynasty." Lin Yutong shook his head, "The prince of that country should report it to Your Majesty."
Jin Chengan nodded, and then looked at Chu, "There is the boss and the fourth in front of you, in the inner courtyard of the city."
Saying that, go inside. It's time to change clothes and go out.
Fourth Master waved his hand to Lin Yutong, "You should go back too. I'm watching from outside."
Lin Yutong responded and walked back with Sanxi.
"Your Highness!" the person behind shouted.
Lin Yutong heard the voice and knew it was Chu Huaiyu. She turned back and smiled, "What? Is something wrong?"
Chu Huaiyu looked left and right: "Your Majesty is still in front, and I feel very panicked. I want to go over and be with His Highness. I think His Highness can't sleep now. Why don't we talk."
Lin Yutong looked at Chu Huaiyu seriously and nodded: "Okay! Then come with me."
It was late at night, and Sanxi didn't serve tea. Each person was served a bowl of freshly ground soy milk, and she withdrew.
Chu Huaiyu drank half the bowl of hot soy milk while it was still hot, "Your Highness has a keen eye, I was really frightened before."
Lin Yutong smiled: "There are many monsters and monsters in this world." When she said this, she felt a little guilty. All the monsters and monsters tonight were on errands for the Gan family.
Chu Huaiyu nodded, her face pale, and her face was a little flushed because she drank something hot. She slowly put the bowl down, and suddenly said: "Yes! Not only does she have this monster, but others also have it. I always thought that
He can release evil spirits to bite people, but he never expected that someone would release evil spirits to bite him."
What he said was so confusing that Lin Yutong didn't understand it.
"What do you want to say?" she asked directly.
Chu Huaiyu's face became serious, "I heard that you entered the palace today. I wonder how Concubine Li and the prince in her belly are doing?"
Lin Fanghua had a miscarriage!
But it was impossible for Chu Huaiyu to know this news so quickly.
'...He can release evil spirits to bite people, but he never expected that someone would release evil spirits to bite him.'
What does this mean? What does it mean that he can release ghosts and bite people?
Could it be that Princess Duanqin didn’t do Lin Fanghua’s miscarriage, or that it wasn’t just Princess Duanqin who did it, but Jin Chengan also had a hand in it?
Thinking about it, this makes sense. When Lin Fanghua is pregnant, it is Brother Yuan in the palace who suffers. Therefore, it is better for Lin Fanghua to never get pregnant. This is in the interest of Duke Jin's government.
I didn't expect this, nor did Gan even think about it.
It can be seen how covert Jin Chengan's actions were. But this was known to Chu Huaiyu. Does this mean that Chu Huaiyu knew more than he thought.
Lin Yuzhi's words flashed through her mind. She said that she saw a jade pendant on Chu Huaiyu's neck. The pattern on it was the same as that of Po Nujun. What an iconic pattern for something as important as Po Nujun.
How could a secret be used as an ornament to hang around the neck of a girl from the Chu family? I didn’t think much about it before, but now combined with Chu Huaiyu knowing Jin Chengan’s secret, Lin Yutong’s eyes changed when she looked at Chu Huaiyu.
She turned the bracelet on her wrist and looked at Chu Huaiyu, "Can you show me the pendant on your neck?"
Chu Huaiyu's expression changed, and then she said calmly: "Pendant?" She smiled stiffly, "I've been carrying this pendant since I was a child, and I've never left it." She wears it more in winter, and it hangs around her neck.
It was all wrapped around a big fur collar, how could you see inside? How could she know about this pendant? She said, but without stopping, she directly untied the collar, revealing a white pendant.
From a distance, Lin Yutong didn't see clearly what the pattern on the jade pendant looked like.
"It's not that I'm stingy and I don't want to show it to His Highness." Chu Huaiyu looked a little troubled, "In fact, I don't know what kind of trouble this chain is made of, and it can't be untied at all. I have never taken it off since I put it on. It was cut with knife and burned with fire.
It won’t work.”
Lin Yutong's eyes flashed with cunning, "If I want it, I wonder if my sister-in-law is willing to cut it off."
Chu Huaiyu knew that Lin Yutong was definitely not innocent. She must have known something. So she looked like she was risking her life and said, "As long as you can take it, then take it. It's an honor for me to be interested in His Highness."
Lin Yutong took out a small dagger in his hand, and Chu Huaiyu felt a cold light flash, and the thing around her neck was torn off. She was shocked, what kind of dagger is this, so sharp? When she was a child, she used it to sharpen iron.
I tried using a mud dagger. Not only could it cut through the chain, but the dagger curled up.
"What? You can't bear to leave?" Lin Yutong looked at Chu Huaiyu, but was not in a hurry to see the jade pendant. He just asked: "How is it for the Chu family in Liaodong?"
Chu Huaiyu's heart moved: "I'm just trying to survive."
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I don't want what you have in vain. Go back and give the Chu family a future." Choosing an honest and responsible child and giving him an inconspicuous title would be a turnaround for the Chu family.
Chu Huaiyu's eyes lit up and he knelt down quickly, "Thank you, Your Highness!" If he held this thing in his hand, something would happen sooner or later. Sooner or later, Jin Cheng'an and Jin Shouren would reach out and ask for it.
When Lin Yutong saw Chu Huaiyu's clue, "I'll give you another chain later." He made a fake one and asked her to hang it. Others wouldn't notice it suddenly disappeared, but as her husband, Jin Shouren would definitely notice it.
.Husbands and wives are always closer than outsiders.
After sending Chu Huaiyu away, Lin Yutong put the pendant under the lamp and took a closer look. The pattern was very complicated, but she couldn't understand what the things on the pattern were. Even what the pendant was used for, she couldn't figure it out for a while.
, didn’t understand it either.
At dawn, the capital city, which should have been noisy for a long time, seemed extremely quiet.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master went back to sleep, and didn't think there was anything wrong with such quietness. After all, this mansion is not connected to the outside, and it is far away from the downtown area. And the servants in the mansion were busy last night
I'm putting out fires. I've been resting during the day today. It's normal to be quiet.
But when he fell asleep, Guiwu was outside.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were sitting at the dinner table, waiting for the food to be served and listening to Gui Wu's words.
"...Last night, it wasn't just our house that was causing trouble. Strange phenomena of this kind also appeared in other houses. However, I heard this all from the mouths of the little people from Jiaomen. These people probably all had their orders.
However, the words were vague, and I couldn’t tell what was going on specifically. On the contrary, the Imperial College and the tea house and inn where students gathered were more noisy. And more people were seen. Some said that they saw
Evil ghosts wearing dragon robes with seven orifices bleeding were wandering around. Some people also said that they saw people wearing python robes with a blood hole as big as a bowl on their heads and their faces covered with blood. Nowadays, these people are causing trouble
There are a lot of rumors about the late emperor's death... The current emperor's position is unfair and so on... The rumors are so evil. There are also many streets and alleys, and even ordinary people's homes, on the ground.
