Lin Jue was a little embarrassed when his thoughts were pointed out. He really didn't want to cause trouble. Lin Jue was not sure whether the people around Guo Chong were loyal. In fact, his move was taking a huge risk. What if the emperor took the medicine and got sick?
If something happened, his whole family would be buried with him. If the emperor wanted to give it a try, he would have to make sure that if something happened he would not affect himself. So after much deliberation, he decided to send the prepared pills and let the emperor try one or two.
, which is safer and more secure. Besides, the prescription is a treasure, and Lin Jue has no intention of giving it directly to others. It is best to hold it in his own hands.
"I am taking a huge risk by doing this. Your Majesty, please be considerate." Lin Jue said in a low voice.
Guo Chong wanted to curse, but he finally nodded and said: "That's all, as you said, you go back and boil the pills and bring them to me to try. Lin Jue, I can leave my life and fortune to you."
Well, if it is effective, you will have saved my life. You will have done a great service."
Lin Jue agreed repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's all. I originally had something to ask you, but I'm a little tired. I'm here today. You can go. You said you need to help your counterpart as soon as possible. Yang Jun and Du Weijian's deputies will do it.
I will also make appointments. But if you want to suspend the implementation of the new law on the East and West Roads in Beijing... I need to think about it. At least I have to seek the opinions of Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru. I can't give you an answer. If I can't do what you asked.
, you are not allowed to complain. Also, make the medicine as soon as you get back. When you come into the palace tomorrow night, I will try the pills. Finally, I would like to remind you that if you leak even half a sentence about my condition today, I will kill you.
Let’s kill the nine tribes of the whole family. Let’s go.” Guo Chong said in a deep voice.
Lin Jueru was granted amnesty and hurriedly bowed to leave. Guo Chong waved his hand and looked away, his mood waning.
After walking out of the cold front hall and standing on the square in front of the hall again, Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief. Today's visit was quite fruitful. With the support of the emperor, he didn't have to worry about money, food and materials being stolen by Yang Jun.
His neck was stuck. With the help of Yang Xiu and Du Weijian, he no longer had to travel between the east and west roads of Beijing and the capital, and he no longer had to worry about trivial matters every day. More importantly, Lin felt that he had realized an extremely important thing.
The information is that Guo Chong is seriously ill and does not have much time left. Knowing this news will help us control the entire situation more accurately, and some of the previous unfounded conjectures and self-righteous speculations can also be corrected. Many things suddenly become
Once it becomes clear, there is no need to fumble in the fog.
Of course, what Lin Jue hopes more is that his prescription can be symptomatic and cure Guo Chong's illness. This is a good thing for himself and the entire Zhou Dynasty. If Guo Chong's illness is cured, the proposal to establish a prince will definitely be shelved.
That would stabilize the whole situation in an instant. Otherwise, such a hasty proposal to establish the crown prince may cause a lot of chaos. The Zhou Dynasty cannot be chaotic now. What is needed is a stable court situation, stable people's hearts, and stable policies. If Guo Chong's body
If things go well, there will be changes in the reform. Radical reforms may reverse it. Only Guo Chong can do this.
Lin Jue was thinking as he walked out of the palace gate. When he reached the flower bed on the west side of Chongzheng Hall, suddenly there were several guards walking towards the intersection leading to Yanfu Palace. Lin Jue glanced at him.
Then he recognized who the person was, and hurriedly stopped and tried to hide by the flower tree, but the person opposite started to shout first.
"Isn't that Mr. Lin? What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see Mr. Lin in the palace."
Lin Jue's scalp was numb, so he could only walk out with a smile, bowed his hands and said, "Lin Jue has met His Highness Prince Huai."
The person who came was none other than Huai Wang Guo Xu. He was wearing a white fur coat, a black cloak, and a black leather hat. He had a handsome and strong figure and was walking quickly with a smile on his lips.
"Sure enough, it's Mr. Lin. I have pretty good eyesight. I recognized Mr. Lin at a glance. Mr. Lin seemed to be trying to avoid me just now." Guo Xu smiled and cupped his hands, staring at Lin Jue with twinkling eyes.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I thought it was some empress from the palace who came out, so I stopped to avoid it. But I didn't know it was His Highness Prince Huai. I was blind."
Guo Xu laughed and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not that you are blind, but that you feel guilty and don't dare to face me."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "His Highness is joking, why am I afraid to face His Highness? I haven't done anything to regret His Highness, so why do you say this?"
Guo Xu laughed loudly and nodded: "Okay, okay, you are not sorry for me, it is true. Where did Mr. Lin come from?"
Lin Jue said: "I was summoned just now to go to the Xihua Palace to meet with His Majesty."
Guo Xu was surprised and said: "My father actually summoned you? My father didn't even see me. I came to see my father today, but my father didn't see me. No, I had to go to the harem to see my mother. You really have face."
You're not young, what did the emperor tell you?"
Lin Jue said: "What we are talking about is the appeasement of the East and West Roads in Beijing. Your Majesty is concerned about this matter, so I will report it truthfully."
Guo Xu nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment he said: "Lin Jue, you have done a great job in suppressing the rebellion this time. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your achievements in the two battles, the bandits might not be able to do it now.
Ping, in that case, it will be difficult to make up for the mistakes I made in suppressing the rebellion. I was not wrong about you, I was optimistic about you at the beginning, and you have indeed proved your ability."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness Miao Zan, I dare not take this position."
Guo Xu smiled and said: "You deserve it. You are a talent with a bright future. However, I would like to remind you that talents must be used by a wise leader. If you follow a wise leader, you can shine. If you follow a mediocre leader, not only will you not be able to
If you can use your talents, you may be ruined and die an unexpected death. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right person to follow. You don’t want your talents to be buried and you will die an unexpected death in the future.”
Lin Jue was startled. He didn't expect Guo Xu to be so direct. This was a naked threat to him. Doesn't the so-called Ming Zhu Yong Zhu refer to himself and King Jin?
"What does Your Highness mean by this? I'm sorry that I didn't understand. I'm just a small person, and I can't afford the reputation of a talented person. I just want to live a stable life and serve the court wholeheartedly. Apart from that, I don't have anything else.
Thoughts." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Lin Jue, you don't have to pretend to be confused. You are a smart person, and you never need to speak too clearly when talking to smart people. I would like to warn you, don't think you are following the right person, do you know if you are on the wrong side?
Team, what are the consequences of following the wrong person? You will definitely die without a burial place. As your friend, I need to remind you of this. Maybe you don’t regard me as a friend, but I have always regarded you as a friend.
.What I said to you at the beginning is still valid now. The door of my Prince Jin's Mansion will always be open to you, and you are welcome to come at any time." Guo Xu said in a low voice.
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I really don't understand what Your Highness is talking about. What about taking sides and not taking sides, and what about dying without a burial place. It sounds scary. I don't dare to become friends with Your Highness, His Highness's identity
You are so noble, I don’t dare to climb high.”
Guo Xu's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Very good. It seems that you are pretending to be smart. But I still have some patience. You can go back and think about it carefully. Before my patience disappears, I hope you can be wise.
Choose. I am leaving, bid farewell."
Guo Xu flicked his cloak and walked forward in stride. Lin Jue bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness."
Guo Xu took a few steps quickly, then suddenly turned around and said to Lin Jue: "By the way, Lin Jue, I heard that you have a concubine named Lu Wu who is your heartthrob. Well... she is indeed very beautiful. No wonder you are so beautiful.
I feel sorry for her. I really feel pity for such a beautiful woman. But you have to hide her well and don't let others snatch her away. Hahaha."
Lin Jue was startled, and when he was about to ask, Guo Xu laughed a few times and quickly disappeared behind the desolate flowers and trees.
Lin Jue stood at the intersection of the palace, with goosebumps all over his body. Guo Xu's last few words, which were neither yin nor yang, suddenly mentioned Lu Wu's name, gave Lin Jue an extremely ominous premonition.
. Originally, Lu Wu’s delay in rushing back to the capital from Hangzhou made Lin Jue feel a little uneasy, so he immediately ordered people to search for traces after returning to the capital. But although Lin Jue was uneasy, he did not think too much of the worst.
.After all, the public security in Dazhou is not bad enough that you need to worry about safety when going out. The water and land routes to the south are relatively peaceful. Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road and Zhejiang Road are all state capitals with good public security in Dazhou.
Lin Jue prefers to think that Lu Wu and Xiao Hu want to play on the road for a few more days. Lu Wu may not be too playful to delay the trip, but Xiao Hu is not sure. If Xiao Hu begs Lu Wu to play on the road for a few more days, then
Lu Wu's love for Xiaohu would most likely agree to his request. Therefore, although it delayed his return to Beijing, Lin Jue actually did not feel too anxious.
But at this moment, after hearing Guo Xu's last few words, Lin Jue suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. Why did Guo Xu talk about Green Dance for no reason? Green Dance is his concubine. This has nothing to do with Guo Xu.
What does it have to do with Xu? Maybe he has never seen Lu Wu, so how could he notice this concubine next to him? He said in a sinister way, "Don't let others take her away." What does that mean? It implies that Lu Wu was raped by someone
Robbed?
The more Lin Jue thought about it, the more frightened he became. He suddenly realized that he might have overlooked an extremely important issue, which was the safety of the people around him. Green Dance had been in danger before, and it was the revenge of pirates.
It was he who killed Hai Dongqing's son and caused trouble to Lu Wu. After that, Lin Jue was very concerned about the safety of those around him. But with the annihilation of the pirates, Lin Jue had almost forgotten this matter in the past few years.
Now I have offended many people again. Under this situation, will it harm Green Dance again?
The situation in the court is tense right now, and the two factions are about to fight. The struggle for power is a hundred times more dangerous than fighting on the battlefield. I got involved in it, but I didn't realize how to protect the safety of those around me. What kind of negligence is this? What are these people trying to achieve?
They can do anything, and it is absolutely possible for them to do such dirty things that hurt their opponent's family.
Under the midday sun, the temperature was not too cold. But Lin Jue stood in the sun, and his body began to tremble inexplicably. His heart sank into the depths of the cold pool, and it was bone-chilling. He tried his best not to sink into it.
In his negative thoughts, he warned himself not to make any judgments until the people sent out did not bring back the news. However, Lin Jue had a feeling that something must have happened to Lu Wu, and it was Guo Xuqian's fault.
of.
"Guo Xu, Guo Xu. If you dare to touch Lu Wu, I swear that you will die without a burial place. If you dare to use such despicable means to achieve your goal, then don't blame me for not keeping the bottom line.
I will fight back with the most violent means, and you will regret it." Lin Jue gritted his teeth and dropped a few words, and quickly left the palace.
