Chapter 409

As expected, even if the Lin family had just a small wife, the situation was still different. Lin Fusheng felt the most deeply. Influenced by Lin Qingqian, the officials in the capital were afraid of offending King Jingyue. Since Lin Qingqian took revenge on the Lin family, almost no one around Lin Fusheng was willing to contact him anymore, let alone communicate.

As a result, as a party in the East Palace, Lin Fusheng was in a very miserable situation, and he gradually became a marginal official. If this continues, it will be more than two years before he will have to leave the East Palace and retire and return home.

His two sons were not strong, and the most prosperous one would have died long ago. If he retired, the Lin family would become depressed within ten years. Looking at the grandchildren, the grandchildren of the eldest and second houses, both legitimate and illegitimate, had no great prospects or great wisdom. On the contrary, the two grandchildren of the third house who had been oppressed and exploited by him were as smart and knowledgeable as the youngest son.

Lin Fusheng has often thought recently that if his youngest son passed away, he would have taken care of his grandchildren with a little snack and took care of him more, would the Lin family's current situation be very different?

However, he shook his head randomly and shook his unrealistic ideas in his mind. If...

If he had hesitated a little and protected the three rooms a little, perhaps the entire Lin family would have ceased to exist long ago.

Yes, he did it right. Who told the Third House that offended the people who should not be offended? As the master, he could not put the entire Lin family in a desperate situation for the sake of the Third House.

Fortunately, now that the hardships are over, the chance for the Lin family to turn things around has come. Lin Chuyun entered the Eastern Palace and had hope to climb up. Perhaps, it would not be surprising that the Lin family would become a relative of the foreign country in the future. At that time, what is King Jingyue? He will still be trampled by them.

He will return the humiliation brought to the Lin family by King Jingyue and Lin Qingqian.

Look, as soon as the imperial edict was issued, the colleagues around him found an opportunity to come and talk to him. Everyone was a princeling, and no one was a fool. As for the contempt that happened to flow out in the eyes of those people, Lin Fusheng just pretended not to see it.

Don’t think he doesn’t know. If he has the opportunity, he doesn’t know how many people present hope that the person who happened to the mountain that day would be the girl in their family. Entering the Eastern Palace means an opportunity in itself, so smart people will never offend uncertain opportunities in the future.

"Okay." Mrs. Lin smiled and held Lin Chuyun's hand and never let go. "After entering the Eastern Palace, you must serve the prince well. Grandma will know that the prince is affectionate to you."

Lin Chuyun blushed shyly and replied in a low voice, "The prince is indeed good."

"Mom, the emperor has issued an order, and the mansion should prepare a dowry for Yun'er." Zhang took the opportunity to take advantage of it.

When the mother and daughter of the second wife heard this, they were so upset that they saw Zhang's spring breeze blowing on their faces. Dowry? They were just carried into the Eastern Palace to be a concubine. What kind of dowry should they be needed? No matter how much dowry, can they pass through the crown princess and the two concubines?

On the surface, they did not show their unhappiness, but instead expressed their congratulations with a smile. In any case, the second house can benefit from the power of the big house, and the second house is still very clear about this.

So, even if he was unhappy, the second wife still pinched her nose and congratulated her and pretended to be happy.

"Aren't the dowry ready? Just pack up the past." Mrs. Lin spoke directly.

When Zhang and Lin Chuyun heard this, they couldn't help but smile, but Lin Chuchan was almost furious. She was about to get angry, but was caught by her own mother.

Lin Chuchan felt depressed. Lin Chuyun just became a concubine, so why did he prepare a dowry with the specifications of his concubine?

Lin Chuyun seemed to notice her unhappiness, looked up at her, and then said casually, "Second sister and the other side of the family should also find someone to look at her. The second sister is so good-looking, it's just now that the New Year is over, and someone will definitely come to come and propose marriage after the first month."

Lin Chuchan froze. She heard Lin Chuyun's meaning, and her marriage would rise with Lin Chuyun's identity. She should have seen each other for a long time, but who knew that Lin Qingqian was back.

Well, seeing that Lin Chuyun can bring her benefits, she will bear it for the time being. When she gets married, she must fight for it. Anyway, her dowry cannot be less than Lin Chuyun.

After thinking it through, Lin Chuchan’s smile on her face was much more sincere.

Lin Chuyun sneered and saw it, it was indeed not a good thing. Don’t think that Lin Chuchan would please her, she would forget the suppression of Lin Chuchan in the mansion these days. One day, she would return it.

She remembered all the people who bullied her.

The prince was frustrated. He didn't want Lin Chuyun to enter the Eastern Palace at all. As long as he saw Lin Chuyun, he would feel frustrated on the mountain and think of his stupidity. His life was not easy these two days. As expected, as he guessed, the emperor was furious after knowing what happened on the mountain and was waiting for him to come back to speak in the palace. Before the officials in the court returned to the palace from the temple, they began to give advice all over the sky.

The prince was ruined. He explained with a sad face. Jingzhao Yin also came to testify, proving that the prince was indeed plotted against without knowing it.

Even so, the prince had no face. A crown prince was actually plotted for no reason. It was so stupid. Yes, looking back at the Japanese, the prince himself didn't believe that he was so stupid. Haha, the desire was too strong, which hurt him. If he had not been lucky and had no right to the Prince Jingyue and the Princess, he would not have fallen into a treacherous plan. But can he blame him? The pressure brought by the Prince Jingyue to their father and son was too great, so Lin Chuyun just mentioned it casually, and he was thinking about it.

No matter how frustrated the prince is, it is useless. It is better to be stupid than to offend the public. So the emperor came up with a way to get rid of the blame. As for Lin Chuyun, no matter how unhappy the prince is, he must be used as compensation for the victims, such as the East Palace.

Sure enough, after the imperial edict was issued, the discussions on the prince outside were much less. After all, although the victim was a little stupid, he did not make any mistakes in essence.

The prince had comforted him, and the emperor did not forget that there were two other victims waiting for him to comfort him.

Speaking of which, the emperor was also full of anger. Zhao Jingyun's actions were faster than anyone else. After he returned home, he didn't even take a look at him. He just went to Cining Palace and then went back home directly. Then, there was an extra memorial on the desk of the emperor.

After reading the contents of the memorial, the emperor was so angry that the world fell on the cup on the desk. It was so annoying.

It is true that Zhao Jingyun suffered a loss, but he actually hinted in the memorial that everything was deliberately targeting him, so he wanted to leave the capital early and return to his fiefdom. He did not plan to return to Beijing within three to five years because he was afraid of being plotted against again.

Although the emperor disliked him, he was indeed wary of Zhao Jingyun, but the matter on the mountain, including the affairs in the ancestral temple, was indeed not instructed by him. He was pushed to take the blame.

However, if you think about it carefully, in the capital, including the vassal kings, who else can surpass the King of Jingyue in the capital, except for him, and the empress dowager in the harem? Now that Zhao Jingyun was plotted against, he became the first person to be suspected.

The emperor doesn't need to think too much, and he knows that many people in private ministers and even the people think that he is targeting Zhao Jingyun behind the scenes.

No matter what, the emperor was so frustrated that he was so depressed that the emperor looked even worse. "Come here, pass on my will. King Jingyue and Princess Jing made great contributions to repel the assassin on the mountain, and rewarded ten pairs of jade Ruyi, five hundred taels of gold, twenty pieces of silk and satin..."

The emperor was so angry that he thought that since King Jingyue entered the capital, the things in the treasury had been transferred to the Jingyue Palace in unknown ways. The key is that most things have nothing to do with him, he was appeaseing King Jingyue for others.

"It is said that Zhang Hongliang, Qin Guodong..." The emperor lit up the names of several important officials and entered the palace. After pausing, he asked the eunuch to find Derong again.

The emperor issued an order, and several important officials and Derong soon appeared in front of the emperor.

When several adults saw Derong was also there, they sighed in their hearts. They are suspicious in their lives and trust them on the surface. In fact, the emperor has many people in each government. On the contrary, Derong, because he was a meritorious in saving the Lord, was also a eunuch, and had no relatives and children, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

"What do I ask you to investigate?" The emperor asked straight to the point.

Lord Zhang was in the Ministry of Justice. He looked at Derong and saw that Derong had no intention of speaking, so he had to answer himself, "I have checked the staff of the ancestral temple and cleared out five or six people. They may be related to King Chen Qing and Concubine Yan."

"Maybe? Do you have evidence?" The emperor was angry.

Lord Zhang stopped talking. The people found out were very hard. Three of them were bitten by the poison hidden in their teeth as soon as they were discovered. There was no time to interrogate them. The remaining three, one of them, took the initiative to pounce on the sword of the Imperial Guard during the capture, and the remaining two were left with hard mouths, and they were useless to punish them.

"Although there is no evidence, eight out of ten. The slaves and Lord Zhang have checked their time in the palace, the people they had contacted, and their relatives outside the palace. They did it cleanly, and they still left some clues. It was a long time ago and many clues were broken." Derong explained with a stern face, "Of courses of the six people, four of them were the first ones to enter the palace, and the two later were young, but they took over the position of the original dead spy. They entered the palace for a short time and didn't know much. The last time the King of Jingyue encountered in the ancestral temple was they worked together."

When the emperor heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table. Six spies could be found in one ancestral temple. What about the entire harem? Does the emperor need to sleep?

"Jingzhao Mansion?"

The prefect was named, and he answered honestly, "The guest rooms of Dingguo Temple have been built even longer. Decades have passed, and the craftsmen who built the guest rooms were unable to find them at all. However, following the tunnel, they found the exit at the back mountain, and the monks in the temple were indeed unaware of it."

I don't know it again.

The prefect continued, "I have gained nothing. I have searched many villagers at the foot of the mountain and got a trace of rumors. An old man in the village recalled that he had heard the craftsman get drunk and bragging, saying that he could not afford to offend the prince."

Prince? There are many vassal kings who have worked hard. However, after a few decades ago, many vassal kings were ruled out by calculation. The remaining few people of the right age were selected. If you continue to investigate, you should have a result soon.

"Okay, okay..." The emperor was so angry that he could hardly speak.

Several important officials also felt uncomfortable. It was not a good thing to be uneasy in the palace.
