Jin Chengquan shook his head: "Based on the days, we should be near the capital." He pointed to the faint lights in the distance, "There are people there, let's go first." The car was warmer, and there was no one around, and he felt panicked.

But no one except the Fourth Master can drive a carriage.

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong left first, and at least found a small inn. They gave the waiter money and asked him to find a few carriages nearby, and then took everyone else over.

When they arrived at the inn, the others heard some scattered news among the people.

Jin Chengquan sighed: "No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't figure out how to give us... It turned out that's the case." His heart thumped. He had had contact with Prince Duan in private before. I don't know if this matter would be revealed.

Gao, on the other side, pointed at the man sitting around, and pulled Lin Yutong and said, "I have encountered all the crimes I have never suffered in my half life." I don't touch the spring water of my ten fingers. I have to take care of the man and his own hands. The food they delivered cannot be eaten, but at least I can eat it. But the hot water has to be burned by myself. It's smoky and fire-free, and it's not without it. The kang cannot be heated and cold. However, Lin Yutong asked someone to deliver it several times, which was very easy to say, "You are a good child. When you get to such a place, remember us."

Lin Yutong tentatively said, "I'm so careful. I want to see my second aunt go, but I don't want to let me go. I don't know where it is?"

Gao clasped his lips: "I guess I've been to Liaodong. After leaving for so many days, I think it's almost the same."

Xiao Chu shook his head: "I don't think it's like Liaodong. Are we heading north? It doesn't seem to be. I think it may be in Shandong."

Liaodong? Shandong?

Nothing is right.

Just when Lin Yutong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Duoer suddenly looked up and said, "I think we have always been near the capital."

Lin Yutong felt a little stuttered. Where did she see it?

Gao looked at Qi Duoer: "Second wife, you don't know how many days we have left?"

Qi Duoer smiled a little embarrassedly and said in a soft voice: "I was thinking in my heart that these people shouldn't have taken us around in circles on purpose. Anyway, I was eating the food sent by those people, which was a genuine taste of the capital. And the accent of speaking..."

Xiao Chu sneered: "Those people are quite polite to us, and it is inevitable to take care of our tastes in terms of food. Even those people are also those who take us out of the capital. They should live in the capital area on weekdays. According to your words, they are near the capital. But if they are really near the capital, no matter our mansion or the Chu family, they will not have no news from us." If there is news, they will take the people back.

Qi Duoer smiled a little uncomfortable: "I just guessed that. Is that right? Who is right? Let the men check it out." As he said that, he glanced in the direction of several men, and a soft look flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yutong didn't have the heart to care about their secret competition, but instead looked at Qi Duoer with admiration again.

After returning to the room, Lin Yutong said to the Fourth Master Qi Duoer's guess, "I think, is this secret guard camp still in place really safe?"

The Fourth Master waved his hand: "It's okay! Now that I know that place, Jin Cheng'an. But Jin Cheng'an didn't see Luo Guo's reply, he should have known that something happened to him. He was afraid that the secret guard camp would lift his old foundation, so he would not act rashly. He said that there was not only one exit in the mountain belly. If it really doesn't work, block the first exit in the sky and start another import and export."

I spent a night in the inn, and the next day I hired someone to drive a car and returned to the capital.

The second house went back to his house, and Chu took Jin Shouren and Xiao Chu to ask about his well-being and asked about the details. Jin Chengan had not come back in the palace yet.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master returned to the yard, and the servants were still there.

Sanxi and his friends cried and laughed and saw the ceremony, "Master, I'm back."

"It's still comfortable at home." Lin Yutong told them to get up, "Okay, don't cry, aren't you all back safely?"

After finishing the washing up, the food was put on, and Sanxi handed over the body contract that Lin Yutong had given her before, "Master, there is something else."

Lin Yutong turned her head and looked over with the soup bowl, "What's wrong? What's the matter? Say..."

"The eldest girl was taken to the mansion by the wife." Sanxi looked puzzled, "But I heard that I didn't know anyone anymore. The Lin family also hit someone, but the Marquis called him in person. Seeing that his master was not at home, that's all. I asked for it specifically and said that the eldest girl was injured and didn't remember anything. Now she was brought back, and Madam Bai was taking care of her. I heard the girl in the Crown Prince's Court muttering, saying that she was happy."

Lin Yutong shook her head. Shi Zhongyu had said she wanted to move her out of the store before. Who would have thought she would find a way to come back so soon. She really didn't give up.

How capable is Jin Chengan to successfully usurp the throne?

Otherwise, Lin Yuzhi would not be able to do this.

"I understand." Lin Yutong waved her hand, "She doesn't have to worry about it anymore in the future." Jin Shouren and Chu Huaiyu both suspected that Lin Yuzhi knew something that she shouldn't have known. When she came into the mansion, Chu Huaiyu would probably not cause anything.

After the girls went down, she served another bowl of rice to the Fourth Master, "Now there is a grandson. When Prince Heng ascended the throne, the grandson will immediately become the prince. Lin Yuzhi is really anxious."

The Fourth Master handed over the fried bean sprouts, "I can't do much hard work, why are you doing for her?"

Lin Yutong sighed, "Isn't it? Prince Heng ascended the throne, what position did Concubine Gan be enthroned? This is what she has been worried about these two days. "The princess is the main concubine. No matter what, the position of this queen should be the legitimate concubine. There is no doubt about this. But how should we choose between the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine?" Even if Gan is her biological mother, she also thinks that when there are people sitting in the position of the imperial concubine, it is better not to think about the position of the imperial concubine easily.

Royal Palace.

Concubine Gan sat opposite Prince Heng: "I can't ask for the seat of the imperial concubine..."

Prince Heng turned his head and looked at Concubine Gan: "What? I can't afford you?"

"No!" Concubine Gan looked at Prince Heng, "You should know the relationship between me and Xiangjun. She has not had a good time over the years because of me. I am no longer sorry for her and can no longer be more arrogant."

Prince Heng grabbed Concubine Gan's hand: "What did you call me in the hall before?"

Concubine Gan's eyes flashed and she shook her head: "I'm just in a hurry. I won't know how to do it again in the future."

Prince Heng smiled: "I called my name in a hurry?"

Concubine Gan turned her head and changed the subject: "I'm talking about position, but now I'm talking nonsense, what are you talking about."

"You have made great contributions to this day. I promised you to be the queen that day, but now you even rejected the position of imperial concubine." Prince Heng looked at Concubine Gan as if he wanted to see through her, "You are worried that I will hide my good bow."

Concubine Gan shook her head, "No! I want to exchange this grace for your promise."

"What promise?" Prince Heng looked at Concubine Gan with his eyes scrutinized. It seemed that the tenderness that had just been revealed did not exist at all.

Concubine Gan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Why do you think I would plead for Princess Duan?" She said, then looked at Prince Heng, tears rolling in her eyes. "I remembered the time to collect the corpses for my parents. That day, the ground was full of corpses of relatives, and none of them were complete. The sky was vast and the earth was vast, but none of them were my relatives. At that time, even if there was a person who was tied to me with blood, I thought, I might feel better in my heart. After the funeral was over, I realized that I was pregnant. I felt that the sky had eyes,

When this child was born, I had relatives again. I am no longer alone! Even if she needs my care, even if she can't give me anything, I feel at ease." Thinking of the longing for the child in my heart for so many years, tears flowed down my face, "But, my only relative has been separated from me for more than ten years. No matter what, I feel that I owe her. Today, I will exchange this grace from the emperor for your promise. My daughter's child will not enter the palace, but will not be able to continue. I know the bitterness of separation of flesh and blood..."

Prince Heng looked at Concubine Gan: "Aren't I your relative?"

Concubine Gan did not answer this question directly, but said: "Habit is a terrible thing. Whether I admit it or not, we are all used to each other. Now you are the only one left. And I... besides you, I also want to find some regrets, at least call the graves of my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and someone will pay homage to me in the future..."

"Do you want to adopt your daughter's child to the Gan family in the future?" Prince Heng felt that he understood.

Concubine Gan was stunned. She had never thought so before, but if he really thought so, it would be just right to go with the flow. Therefore, he only pursed his lips and said nothing.

Prince Heng felt that he understood what Concubine Gan meant. She didn't like her daughter much, but wanted to ask herself to rehabilitate the Gan family. Everything else was easy, but this was not that easy.

After measuring left and right, he said, "I promised you that I will not adopt your daughter's child."

Concubine Gan was just polite, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Prince Heng turn and walk out, Gan sighed.

Madam He came over with hot soup: "Master, drink it while it's hot. You're a little worried. Now that the prince is here, how can you still need adoption..."

Gan shook his head: "It is precisely because of the grandson that the emperor is here that he needs to adopt it. Will he give the throne to Prince Duan's son? No! Therefore, someone needs to come out to compete with the grandson who was conferred by the emperor of the great business. Think about it, Prince Duan died suddenly, and the emperor has always shown his kindness and kindness. At this time, he can really deal with Prince Duan's mansion immediately? He will not do this, nor dare to do this! Even if he wants to eradicate the roots, he will have to come slowly. After a few years, people will begin to forget that there is still one royal family. Wouldn't it be better to ask them to disappear slowly? But this cannot be dealt with immediately, and it also gives Prince Duan a chance. Prince Duan really did not leave anything for future generations? I'm afraid that our prince's grandson has a clear idea of ​​the remaining power of Prince Duan, plus... the Li family."

"Li family?" Madam He was puzzled, "this words..."

"He is now the son of Xiangjun, so naturally the Li family is a foreign family." Gan frowned, "There is no reason for the Li family not to support him. But once the Li family and Xiangjun stand behind the crown prince, what do you think the emperor will do? He will push me to fight with Xiangjun. Although I don't have a son, I will have a grandson in the future, and this grandson is also from the royal family, and it happens to be the grandson of Jin Cheng'an who ascended the throne for the emperor. Such a child is adopted, and it can be said that he will kill many deaths in one fell swoop. Why don't he do it? But I can't just ask Tongtong to give birth to a child because I am afraid of his plan? We say that we are young for a year or two, and we don't have to hurry up. But what about three or five years? Can we still drag it down? So, I have to cut off his thoughts from the root."

Madam He nodded and then said softly: "Although that's it, there are pros and cons. You really don't want to be the future little master..."

Gan whispered, "Stop the sound! You can't say this anymore." The emperor disliked the people below. Besides, he was anxious to find a knife to use for him. He didn't avoid it. Could it be that he could still hit it up? "Now, we shouldn't rush up, but we have to learn to retreat."

The first thing the person who jumped far was to retreat. Only when he retreated and rushed hard could he have greater strength.

Retreat is not about giving in, but about building momentum.

If you don’t have this understanding, you will be killed sooner or later.

Madam He looked at Feng Palace: "This... the princess... what will we do in the future?"

"I don't know." Gan shook his head, "Although I am her friend, I have a relationship with each other. But... compared with the weight of the Li family, what about it? You don't have to think about the importance of it, you know what to choose. I just worry... She is a honest person and said that she treats the child as her own son. She probably can do it when she says it. Don't end afterwards, she has to work hard, but she gets a ungrateful wolf."

The next day, Lin Yutong received a message from Gan's family asking him to have a baby with confidence.

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master, "She is more proficient than she imagined, knows advance and retreat, and understands strategy."

"It seems that Gan Haichao was indeed a bit capable back then." The Fourth Master laughed, and while peeling tangerines for Lin Yutong, he said, "He accepted a disciple of Prince Heng, and now he has become an emperor. I saw the archives before the Secret Guard Camp. This Gan family is very fond of Gan Haichao. When he teaches his disciples, he dressed up his daughter as a Shutong and brought her with him. He taught the two disciples. These two people made a decision and made a decision on the world. I don't know who is better when the two people clashed in time?"

"That's all right?" Lin Yutong took the tangerine into her hand, but stuffed it into my mouth, "Will Gan lose with you, your cheap son-in-law?"

The Fourth Master shaved Lin Yutong's nose, "Who am I doing this for?"

No matter how Gan's message was passed, he and the Fourth Master had no plan to create a human for the time being. The key is that it is useless to have a plan. Isn't it a national mourning now? People banned marriages and funerals within three months, and the royal family had to stop for a year. The two of them calculated the month of filial piety with their fingers, but this was not yet settled, and the funeral came again.

The old lady is dead!

This funeral should have been grand, but who said that he would be with the emperor? It seemed a little cold at this time.

As a female family member, Lin Yutong is now watching the old lady wash and dress. This is the last thing the old lady has in her life. She doesn’t even call her to go forward if she is not close to her.

As daughter-in-law, Chu and Gao naturally took it themselves. Xiao Chu handed the handkerchief while holding the water and Lin Yutong simply took the dressing box and sorted out the old lady's face.

But when Lin Yutong got started, she was stunned. The old lady did not feel like she died naturally. She had taken her pulse for the old lady before, thinking that as long as she served her carefully, she would be able to last for three or five months. Now it's still early three months.

She had something to do in her mind, packed it up for the old lady, put the box back, and turned her head and saw that there seemed to be some medicine residue attached to the orchid flower pot in the old lady's room.
