At dawn, Lin Yutong returned to the Wen family's villa on time.
Sanxi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you want to freshen up and eat, or take a rest."
"I'll sleep a little longer." After a night of tossing, her whole body ached. Lin Yutong casually took off her clothes, lay on the couch and wrapped herself in a quilt. She was really tired, "Call me in an hour." There were still many things to do.
Sanxi responded, and gently withdrew and stood guard outside. After a while, Hei Mei walked in and whispered: "Miss Sanxi, those three people are awake..."
Sanxi understood what Hei Mei meant, and took a look inside, but did not go in to disturb her. After thinking about it, she said: "There is no need to supervise them in particular. Let them move around freely. Eat, drink, and use the same things as me.
Don't treat them badly in these matters." If the master wants to kill people, he will do it easily. He will not do anything to cause people to suffer piecemeal crimes.
Seeing that Sanxi was able to get things done, Hei Mei agreed and walked out.
Wenya woke up and saw that it was no longer a dungeon. After she washed up, she still felt a little uneasy. When she saw Wencai, a smile appeared on her face, "Brother Wencai, they let us go. It's all her words."
talk."
Wencai shook his head inwardly, this girl is still so simple. He was a little helpless, but there were some things that he still couldn't tell her in depth, so he only said: "You can go wait in the house for a while, don't mess with others, so as not to call her again."
Lock you up."
Wen Ya was stunned for a moment. Hearing this, it seemed that Brother Wen Cai thought Lin Yutong was imprisoning them because he wanted to teach them a lesson. He had no idea that she was secretly inquiring about her family's information, and that she had already betrayed him...
Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable. But then she thought that Lin Yutong was still very trustworthy, at least he did not reveal the news of his betrayal. She asked cautiously: "Where is aunt?" Maybe aunt has also been released. She
I'm a little afraid of Wen Jing from the bottom of my heart. Ever since I was little, I've said a lot of things, but it's never escaped her eyes. As long as she looks at me, I'll have to do everything I can to hold on to a cup of tea.
Wen Cai didn't need to look at her to know what she was thinking. He said with a bit of helplessness on his face: "You still don't know my aunt's temperament. She is the only one who plots against others. How can she tolerate others plotting against her? I guess she feels a little annoyed.
, there was a conflict with that princess. She is the proud daughter of heaven. How many people are more noble than her in this world? How can I stand what my aunt said? So, we were all released, but she was only held captive.
Now that my aunt is no longer by your side, you have to be more careful in your words and deeds. Otherwise, our ancestors will be angry and lose our good fruits."
Wen Jing shuddered, nodded and said, "I understand. I'm going to serve her. I won't fight back or scold you, just act like a grandson!" With that, she ran towards the main room.
Wen Cai stood under the eaves and slowly looked away. Wen Wu patted Wen Cai from behind and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Uncle Wu, I'm not as intimidating as you." Wencai turned to look at Wenwu and whispered, "She's trying to fool Wenya. She has a simple mind. The less she knows, the greater her chance of survival."
"What?" Wen Wu's face turned cold, "That..." He raised his chin in the direction of the main room, "Are you not willing to ask us to follow you?"
Wencai sighed: "The superiors all have their own personalities. This one is also a master of truth. How can he feel at ease knowing that he is being used by his own mother this time? But Concubine Chen is her own mother, what can she do to her own mother?"
It's just that we can't swallow this breath and give us a slap in the face. Auntie is the troublemaker among the four of us. People understand the principle of catching thieves and capturing kings. No, we were released, but auntie was detained. We
Don't act rashly and be obedient, and my aunt will be fine."
Only then did Wen Wu nodded with some understanding, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Xiao Cai, you have to know better. Now this is not a bad thing. Since we came to this princess, you have been
Protagonist, as long as you stay successfully, our goal will be achieved. Sometimes, the necessary sacrifice is still worth it. I think Wen Jing will also understand this truth."
There was some hesitation and timidity on Wen Cai's face, and he said after a while: "This is correct. But she is my aunt after all... Besides, what will the ancestor think when he finds out? You can't think that my wings are strong and I want to fly solo.
No! No way..." He shook his head like a rattle, "You can't be so determined! How can you do such a heartless thing? I am not such a person, Uncle Wu, please don't trap me in injustice!"
Wenwu immediately pressed Wencai's shoulders: "Do whatever you are told. This decision is mine! I'll tell the ancestor. You just have to obey orders now, and don't worry about anything else... I'm going to do some activities outside the yard.
, I will send the news by the way. Xiaocai, Uncle Wu will not lie to you! All the decisions he makes are for your own good. Be obedient!"
Wen Cai moved the corner of his mouth and sighed: "My aunt is the elder. I used to listen to my aunt. Now that Uncle Wu is the elder, I am naturally willing to listen to you. I will do what you say."
Only then did Wen Wu have a smile on his face, patted Wen Cai's shoulder, turned around and strode away.
Wen Cai looked at Wen Wu's back and narrowed his eyes. He did not remind Wen Wu that there were eyes hidden everywhere in the courtyard. The maids here were not ordinary maids. Wen Wu would report everything that happened here to his ancestors, but he could tell it to himself.
The credibility is much higher. But the ancestor will definitely not know that among these four people, the only one who does not know the truth is Wen Wu.
He turned around and walked towards the main room, standing quietly at the door, waiting for the call from the princess inside. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart at the moment. But he was eager to get rid of the original
Life, this is true. He has to find a way to gain a foothold next to the princess. He will always be of some use to her. Only in this way can he survive. If he wants to live a better life, he still has to rely on himself as his benefactor.
, when I can really get her two points of favor, that's almost it. Of course, the possibility of this situation is very low. I know my appearance very well, but I don't see it in the eyes of this princess.
I don’t have any compliments other than two points of appreciation. So, there is still a long way to go!
When Lin Yutong woke up, Sanxi talked about the three of them, including what Wencai said to Wenya and Wenwu. She nodded and said she understood. After washing, she went outside and saw Wenya setting the meal.
"Didn't you spit in my bowl?" Lin Yutong asked while sitting at the table.
Wenya rolled her eyes and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, I don't dare."
"No need to call yourself a slave." Lin Yutong said, waving his hand: "Go and inform Wen Cai and Wen Wu, and quickly pack your things. We will return to Beijing later."
Return to Beijing?
Didn’t you just come here yesterday? You’re crazy! You thought it was a walk over such a long distance.
Lin Yutong ignored her, only turned to Sanxi and said: "You also go and prepare, and you will follow back to Beijing this time." It looked like chaos outside, but Sanxi was safer in the house.
Sanxi looked outside: "Then this other courtyard..."
"I still want to use it." Lin Yutong saw Wen Ya going out, and then whispered to San Xi: "Go and ask Hei Mei to come, I have something to tell her..."
Hei Mei is a dark and strong girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she is not actually ugly.
"Your Highness!" She came in to perform military salutes and was extremely respectful to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong looked at Hei Mei: "I know you are from the Wen family, and you are all from the Wen family. Now, you are temporarily under my control. After this incident, I will recommend that the court form a women's guard and grant official positions. You
His military achievements will not be buried!"
Hei Mei's eyes lit up, and she knelt down on one knee, "Thank you, Your Highness." Her voice sounded deep, and it took her a long time before she said, "We sisters have been practicing martial arts since we were young. How about asking us to follow other girls?
Likewise, if we find a vulgar man to marry and have to live with food, rice, oil and salt all day long, we can't live a good life. Not to mention our situation, it's hard to say to other people. Even if there is a poor man who is willing to marry a widower, we can't live a good life. We don't
We are a pretty girl, we don’t know how to cook, and we don’t know how to do housework. When she left, she told us to tell us whether we can have a good future and a good home. We will see if His Highness is satisfied with us. So, Your Highness, please put it down.
, if you have any use for us, just give us instructions."
Lin Yutong sighed inwardly and looked at Heimei, whose eye circles were already red. Every girl was trained to look like a female Vajra, which was not in line with the public's aesthetics. Those with good conditions would look down on them. Those with poor conditions would look down on them.
Look down on it. "Get up! Come closer..."
Hei Mei got up and approached Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong whispered a few words into Hei Mei's ear.
Seeing that the expression on Heimei's face did not move at all, she nodded towards Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, don't worry, it will be done well."
Lin Yutong was very satisfied with Heimei's reaction. After dinner, he got up with Sanxi and Sanwen and returned to the capital.
Along the way, in order to rush on the road, Lin Yutong did not let Sanxi ride a horse by herself, but took her with him. He waited until mid-afternoon before arriving at the door of the house.
Sanxi dismounted, and Lin Yutong glanced at Wencai: "You three can follow me in. I want to enter the palace, you don't have to follow me." After that, regardless of what they thought, he just rode away.
She came back this time mainly to meet Jin Chengan. After all, mobilizing the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division would not be possible without Jin Chengan's cooperation.
But she had just left yesterday and was back in Beijing today. She did not dare to say hello to Mr. Gan, which would make it more likely to arouse suspicion. That's why she eagerly entered the palace. In fact, she really wanted to explore Mr. Gan again.
Has your attitude changed?
Along the way, I noticed that there were more and more people on the street. It seemed that the so-called haunting rumors a few days ago had been suppressed. But when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a long queue of carriages.
, only to realize that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is probably a palace banquet in the palace, and these people have to go to the palace to attend the banquet. I have been so busy recently that I even forgot about the Lantern Festival.
No matter how the team lines up, they have to give way when they see Lin Yutong. Most family members are curious about such a high-profile princess, but well-informed people know that in recent days, the princess has been riding in and out of the city very frequently.
No one knew what she was busy with. Looking at it now, she didn't look like she had come specially for a banquet. She was still wearing men's clothes.
Lin Yutong didn't care what others guessed, this time he rode his horse directly into the palace. He didn't leave the horse until the entrance of the inner palace and went to the royal study.
Mr. Gan had already received the news, and when he saw Lin Yutong barging in without waiting for the announcement, he frowned: "What are you making a fuss about? Riding into the palace on horseback! Breaking into the imperial study! There is a censor in the court, are you waiting for the censor?"
Shi Shen, do you have a copy or something?"
Lin Yutong threw the riding crop in his hand aside, "You still ask me what I want? I want to ask you, what do you want? What happened to the literary talent? You are not happy enough to throw it at me once.
Do you have to sell me one more time before you give up? If my grandfather and grandmother were still alive, I would want to ask them if they did the same to you!"
Mr. Gan's face was shocked at first, and then turned pale. These words really hurt his heart.
Laifu retreated quietly, and Aunt He hurried over from the side hall, "How could your Highness say such a thing? How can a mother not love her children? You have no conscience to say this..."
Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan with a stubborn expression, refusing to give in at all.
Mrs. Gan pointed at Lin Yutong and burst into tears, "You enemy! Do you talk to your own mother like this?"
"Is there any mother who does things like this?" Lin Yutong was even more aggrieved than she was, "Have you ever thought about my feelings? After so many calculations, so many gains and losses, how come you never took my feelings into account?
Have you ever asked me if I wanted to?"
"What did I do that wasn't for your own good?" Mrs. Gan wiped away her tears and said to Aunt He, "Go...go and ask Lin Changgen to come over..."
"Don't go!" Lin Yutong glared, "What do you want him to do? If he had a brain, things wouldn't be like this." Her eyes were red, but she looked stubborn and refused to shed tears.
He said, with a mocking expression on his face, "He only remembers feeling guilty towards you, but towards me? It was because of your face that he felt guilty towards me. He saw your appearance,
He would slap me without saying a word. If you don’t believe me, go and call me."
Nanny He felt her nose was sore and tears started to flow down her face. She looked at Mr. Gan and said, "Master! Talk to the girl properly."
Mrs. Gan closed her eyes, took her hand off her chest, and then waved her hand to ask Nanny He to go out. When the mother and daughter were left in the room, no one spoke. One stood and the other sat, facing each other.
After a long time, Mr. Gan suddenly said: "Have you eaten?"
Lin Yutong took off his cloak and stayed on the couch on the side. Then he shook his head and sat on the chair.
Mrs. Gan took the cloud cake on the table and placed it in front of Lin Yutong before saying: "Things are not what you think."
"Are you planning to lie to me again?" Lin Yutong turned to look at Mr. Gan, his eyes full of doubt and hurt.
Gan's heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle. It took him a long time to find his voice: "This is not a lie to you! My child, you have to believe me! If I don't want to tell you or hide from you, this is not a lie to you. This
I don’t want you to get involved in such dirty things. I know your temperament. You are a person who can stand under the sun and no one can see your shadow. I feel worried, but also feel extremely lucky. You are like that
Growing up in this environment, you can still live a brilliant life without any haze in your heart. How precious this is! You can be so clean without me. There is no reason for me, a mother-in-law, to have your hands dirty.
.I am the mother who hides in dark corners and plots people's things! Even if...it is full of infamy, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you stay behind your mother's back, I will be the mother.
Mom, I can make you clean forever. I will bear all the dirt, okay? Don’t ask or worry about these things. Just do what you should do, okay?”
"Only do what I should do?" Lin Yutong took a deep breath, "Then tell me what I should do? Is it what I should do if I follow your arrangements?"
Gan's tone paused slightly, "Be obedient, is it so difficult to be an obedient child?"
Lin Yutong nodded under Gan's gaze: "It's difficult! It's too difficult! Parents always say that their children are disobedient, but they always forget that children are human beings with consciousness and ideas, not puppets with strings."
Mr. Gan's brows furrowed: "Are you coming back to make trouble with me just because that Wencai is by your side?"
Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan calmly: "I don't want to lie to you. In fact, I locked them all up and almost tortured them. These four people are mixed, and it is easy to open a breach, so I still know some things.
Even though I know that can't be the whole story." Wen Jing was locked up, so she had to explain this matter to Mrs. Gan. Otherwise, Liao Xu would also tell Mrs. Gan. If she was properly honest, she would save a lot of trouble.
A flash of astonishment flashed in Mr. Gan's eyes, and then he chuckled: "You are really brave! The people I sent to you told me to do it, but you are really..."
"Are you proud of being favored?" Lin Yutong said with a hint of sarcasm, "I don't know what kind of favor I have to rely on?"
You dare to say this if you are not being arrogant? This is impossible to explain! The more you say it, the more rigid you become!
Mr. Gan was choked and quickly changed the subject, "You don't like that literary talent. It's up to you to deal with it in the future. But now he must stay with you."
Lin Yutong also frowned: "You think you are taking advantage of them, but are you not worried that they are also taking advantage of you?"
"Taking advantage of this... has always been mutual." Mr. Gan didn't take it seriously, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Don't worry, I won't do anything you're not sure about."
"But what if something happens?" Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan, very persistent.
Mrs. Gan looked outside and saw that it was getting dark. There was a dinner party tonight and the emperor and queen could not attend. It would be shameful for her not to go out. Besides, there were important events tonight. How could she delay it like this? She directly
He said: "It's nothing special! Don't bother me with this. Now that you're back, wash up and change clothes quickly. You also have to attend the dinner."
He stood up and said, "It's time for me to get ready."
Lin Yutong looked at Gan's back and closed his eyes. He couldn't talk about this topic anymore.
She came out of the imperial study and went to Beichen Palace. She stuffed something into her stomach before going to wash up, change clothes, and dress up.
"Your Highness, you have lost a lot of weight these days." The maid behind her combed Lin Yutong's hair and whispered while looking at the person in the mirror.
Lin Yutong looked at the thin face in the mirror and nodded, "Be more agile." It's hard for a person to lose weight if he exercises for more than ten hours a day.
The palace banquet of the Lantern Festival, even though the emperor and queen were not present, was still as lively.
There was no separation between men and women. They were all seated as a family and were seated according to the order. Lin Yutong came late. When he arrived, the seats were full and the food and drinks were already on the table.
Everyone saw the ceremony, Lin Yutong smiled and shouted, and then sat on Jin'er's seat under everyone's sight.
After sitting down, I suddenly realized that this seat was not right today. There was only one seat at the top, but it was occupied by Gan. And his seat was placed at the top position on the east side. He was only bigger than Gan.
His seat is a little lower.
This used to be the crown prince's position.
Lin Yutong stood up quickly and said to Mrs. Gan: "Please atone for your sins, my concubine, I have overstepped my bounds."
Mr. Gan was sitting at the top and just smiled. Laifu came out from behind and cupped his hands to Lin Yutong and said, "Your Highness, just sit still. This is your Majesty's order today."
Emperor Yongkang had already rested in his coffin, so there would be no instructions.
Lin Yutong glanced at Mr. Gan and sat down. Suddenly he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Guo Changhe was closest to Lin Yutong. As an insider, he didn't know that this was Gan's attempt to expand her influence in the court. However, he did not dare to say this, let alone show any other expression.
Prince Yu and other princes kept looking at Lin Yutong, and it didn't take much to think that they were unhappy.
Mr. Gan said: "I think these guys are pretty good. Come up and ask me to take a look."
It refers to the children brought in by members of the clan. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Only then did Prince Yu have a smile on his face. He quickly looked back and saw a boy coming out of each house. These children were not too young. They all looked about twelve or thirteen years old. How old were they?
He may be young, but he is definitely old enough to be sensible.
Mr. Gan called over one by one and asked them carefully, and asked several questions in succession, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Then he looked at Lin Yutong: "Yun Yin, what do you think?"
Prince Yu suddenly realized that the emperor had left behind such a bit of blood. Without this person's approval and being not close to this person, Concubine Chen would never nod. She is now arranging such a seat under the emperor's banner.
It may be to let them know the status of this princess.
He put away the bit of dissatisfaction on his face and looked at Lin Yutong with a somewhat kind look in his eyes, as if he was expecting Lin Yutong's comments on the children.
Lin Yutong was not that aloof and rewarded a few children with gifts. He didn't have anything on him and he wasn't prepared, so it wasn't a problem. Aunt He was on the side to support them.
Mrs. Gan then smiled and said: "After the first month, I went to the palace to study. I have plenty of time to get close..."
Lin Yutong felt that Gan was playing with fire by sitting in the center of power. If Emperor Yongkang's death was not announced, something might really happen. She couldn't always play with balance like this.
Thinking about these things in her mind, she didn't even raise her head. She just sat behind the table, eating vegetables. She had cucumbers with dipping sauce, and the cool water made people feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart.
In the main hall, there were people drinking and drinking. The singing and dancing that had been rehearsed for who knows how long in advance heightened the atmosphere to the extreme. They were singing and dancing happily, but who knew that the danger was getting closer and closer to the capital.
The scouts sent by Wen Yunshan and Xu Maocai went out to find out the news. I don't know if they have returned now or if they have brought back the news.
She was thinking about this when she heard the hall suddenly became silent. She raised her head and saw a man in his fifties, wearing a white robe, walking in. He saluted and then stood up. Followed closely,
Several palace servants came in carrying several screens and surrounded the white-robed man. When everyone dispersed, the sound of gurgling water suddenly came from the hall, followed closely by the chirping of insects and birds.
Many people looked around to see where this sound came from.
A flash of astonishment flashed in Lin Yutong's eyes. Is this ventriloquism!
Lin Yutong had never seen this level of ventriloquism before. There was the sound of water flowing in his ears, the sound of wind, the sounds of various insects, and the sounds of birds flying together with the flapping wings. This
For a moment, it seemed that people were transported back to the summer morning. This was listening to the sounds of the mountains and forests. Slowly, other sounds faded away, and there was only the chirping of birds in the clear sky. This was the sound of the thrush. It was not loud.
At that time, a thrush really flew into the hall. Lin Yutong knew this thrush. It was a thing that Gan kept in the palace. He usually didn't keep it in a cage and just let it fly wherever it went. This guy was also fed.
It was lazy and always wandered around the three-acre area of the palace, never going out. At this time, it kept flying around the screen, as if it was looking for its companion.
There was a chirp from inside the screen, and it chirped in response. After a short time, the birds chirped one after another, as if two birds were chatting. You said something, and I said something. It was very lively. The people who were listening could not help but express their feelings.
The smile of the heart.
Suddenly, the sound of arrows breaking through the wind suddenly came over. The thrush flying around the screen screamed in panic, and flew out in a swish. In the panic, it even hit a pillar, and screamed again,
After knocking off two feathers, he flew out at a low altitude as if escaping.
But the 'bird' inside who was chatting very affectionately with it was not so lucky. After the sound of arrows, there was only a brief scream of a bird that suddenly stopped, followed closely by the sound of something falling to the ground.
.This is the bird being shot down.
Not to mention how others felt, Lin Yutong himself was also affected by the atmosphere and felt that the hunter was too cruel. Before anyone could complain, he heard the sound of horse hooves, with the sonorous power of an iron horse, making him feel
People's hearts are raised. Many people forget that this is ventriloquism. They only feel that danger is coming, and the hairs all over their bodies are exploding!
The beating of war drums, the shouts of charging, the clash of swords, the groans of people, the sound of bones breaking, and the heavy sound of blood before dying brought the atmosphere of the battlefield to the main hall.
Lin Yutong struggled to drag his mind out of this transformed battlefield. Only then did he have the time to look around, but he saw that many civil servants in the hall were pale. If he looked more closely, his legs were probably too pale.
She was trembling. Some of the female relatives were almost hugging each other, which showed how frightened they were.
She couldn't help but think of that sentence, her two legs were trembling, and she almost wanted to leave first.
Such skills are truly amazing!
She sighed in her heart, shook her head, picked up a chopstick of lotus roots and was about to stuff it into her mouth, when she suddenly froze.
Why does she smell blood?
No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, it will not affect people's sense of smell!
Lin Yutong listened carefully, and his ears were filled with the sounds of killing, the clash of swords, calls for help, and shouts, which were very close to the sounds on the battlefield. But the occasional crashing sound, as well as the squeaking sound of doors opening and closing,
Together with the smell of blood that filled her nose, she immediately realized that this was no longer the simulated outdoor battle just now, but... a real fight was going on outside!
She looked towards Mrs. Gan and saw that Mrs. Gan's expression was cold, and she looked like she was attracted by ventriloquism. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised at this time, her hands were placed on her legs, and her fingers were tracing circles on her thighs.
He seemed to be counting the time.
Perhaps Lin Yutong's gaze was too aggressive. Gan noticed it immediately. She tilted her head slightly and looked towards Lin Yutong. Seeing Lin Yutong's clear expression, with anxiety and questioning in her eyes, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she had been deceived.
After so many people, he still didn't deceive her. Gan gave Lin Yutong a stern look and signaled her not to move.
Lin Yutong lowered his eyelids and silently stuffed the lotus root into his mouth. What on earth did Gan want to do?
Suddenly, there was a sound of a heavy object falling, and others did not understand it yet. Lin Yutong and the people sitting at the door of the hall all saw that the heavy object fell, and it was a man covered in blood who fell at the door of the hall.
"Ah——" A woman screamed and everyone in the hall suddenly woke up.
Jin Chengan stood up and pushed down the blocking screen. Only then did he realize that there was only one person inside, one table, one chair, one fan, and one foot. But this person was already dead, lying quietly on his back.
On the table.
Lin Yutong sighed inwardly, what a pity that such a skilled artist died like this! He was born at the wrong time. It will take hundreds of years for someone like him to become famous and famous all over the world.
She was deserting here, but the main hall was already in chaos. Even the dullest person knew that something was going on in the palace.
Mr. Gan stood up and said, "Everyone, please sit down. This incident tonight is really unexpected. But I believe that evil will never prevail against good. No one in this palace wants to break in. Even if something happens, then
The ones who are in trouble are also the Emperor, Empress and me..." She said, looking towards Lin Yutong, "There is also Princess Yunyin. She has nothing to do with the minister."
This is also true!
But the ministers did not dare to respond. Several military generals had already stood up, "I will fight to the death to protect the queen and the princess."
Guo Changhe and several ministers looked at each other, and then looked at several clan princes. They all sat motionless and did not speak. More or less, they smelled an unusual smell from inside!
At this time, the shouts of killing outside slowly stopped, and Lin Changgen walked in with people escorting a man with disheveled hair.
"Empress, all the traitors have been killed!" Lin Changgen said, stood up, and combed the hair of the man who was standing aside and refused to kneel, exposing his face in front of others.
"ah?"
"ah!"
Prince?
Prince!
How could it be the prince? The hall instantly exploded.
Mrs. Gan's face was full of astonishment, and then she stood up tremblingly, pointing at the prince: "You...why? Why are you doing this?"
Lin Yutong looked at the prince. At this moment, the prince's eyes were not focused at all. This was not because he was frightened, but because he had been drugged. She came to such a conclusion in her heart and understood it immediately. The prince was probably the one who had fallen into the Gan family long ago.
It's in my hands. Tonight's show, from beginning to end, is a double act played by Gan. And Lin Changgen is the person who cooperates with her. The people killed by the Imperial Guard should be real, but these people are not
They are not the prince's people, but people arranged by Lin Changgen. This is not a fight, it is a massacre!
Lin Changgen said: "It's all my fault! The prince took people back to the palace, but I let them go without reporting anything."
Mrs. Gan immediately answered: "It's not your fault! Your Majesty is looking forward to the prince's early return and has given you a verbal instruction. The door of this palace will always be open to the prince. You are also acting according to the emperor's order. What's the crime?
Yes? Not only are you not guilty, you also have merit! If it weren’t for you, so many people in this hall would not have been able to escape the fate of being killed.”
Just now, I said that I would not take the life of the minister of the imperial court, but now it is Lin Changgen who has saved the lives of so many people? It’s really...
Lin Changgen glanced at Mr. Gan and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. I still have something to say..." As he said that, he looked at the people in the hall, as if he couldn't say it in front of so many people.
Mrs. Gan waved her hand: "Speak. You can tell others everything. There are no stupid people in this hall. They know what can be said and what cannot be said outside."
Lin Changgen then took out a piece of silk from his arms and said, "This was found from the prince... It seems to be an urgent report sent from the border for 800 miles... I am not sure..."
However, Guo Changhe rushed over and snatched the emergency report. He opened it and looked at it. Then his expression changed drastically. It didn't matter who was right or wrong about what happened tonight. What mattered was that according to the emergency report,
Content, the capital is in danger!
Everyone looked at Guo Changhe Zheng in confusion. They heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the palace, followed by Laifu who ran in in a panic, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not good... Your Majesty..."
Gan swayed and pointed at Laifu, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's wrong with him?"
"Your Majesty...he..." Laifu lay on the ground crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, he knew about the prince, he was frightened and angry...and died!"
So that's it! A flash of understanding flashed in Lin Yutong's eyes...
