Chapter 681 Three in One(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 65
Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master can know about the haunting. Others, including Jin Cheng'an, cannot receive the news so soon. Moreover, the palace was banned, so how could this matter be spread by rumors?
The next day, he went to the palace to receive a banquet, but Emperor Yongkang did not show up at all. The prince was always having an entertainment event.
Li Yutong went to the harem to find Concubine Chen. The Fourth Master sat in the pile of nobles and did not sit with Jin Cheng'an. He was only next to the Marquis of Jing'an, who was also the son-in-law. The two got together and chatted from time to time. One of them was older and strict, the other was cold. No one was in a hurry to go up and talk. They were "neglected" by everyone, and they didn't mind, as if they didn't see the look of everyone looking at each other from time to time, and they were very free and carefree.
"What's going on? Do you know what happened last night?" Marquis Jing'an looked at the Fourth Master, "My son-in-law is already an old son-in-law. When you are so young, my news is naturally not as good as yours."
What is this old and unreasonable person talking about.
The Fourth Master smiled and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine over, "Last night was... a little uneasy, so don't get involved. It's the eldest princess. Can you enter the palace less or enter the palace less? If you get involved, you really can't do anything."
Marquis Jing'an sideways, took the wine glass, and his eyes slanted slightly towards the direction of the prince, "What? This person's claws are lit out?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "That's why I said, avoid some accidental injuries."
Jing'an Hou sighed, "It's better to just do it with a knife when I'm telling me, and it's better to just do it with a knife. Whoever knocks it down is considered capable. Just like last year's New Year's Eve, you see, what's the matter with me? What do you think of him? Compared to the one who's above, the person on the east side is a bit sluggish and it's too unstoppable! We are also worried all day long..."
The Fourth Master pressed down the hand of Jing'an Hou, "You are so happy, but if you really do this, it will be a death." No matter how many rebellions you have, you will have to lose tens of thousands of lives. This is a direct loss. What you fear most is that people are panic and the lives of the people are really impossible. Now you are watching the fights and fights, but it is ultimately the center of power. Those who can participate are at the top. Those who can understand are all part of the upper level. Even most of the officials below cannot understand, let alone the people. Even if you pinch your head into a dog's head, they don't know. If you don't know, you can live a stable life. This principle is that simple.
Marquis Jing'an turned the cup in his hand and smiled. Then he suddenly said, "What did you mean by saying to me last time? Did you mean to ask me to guard the border again?"
The Fourth Master didn't say anything for a long time and looked around casually. Seeing that few people stared at them, he whispered: "Do you think it's better to avoid this storm for the time being, or stay in the muddy water?"
Of course, the further you go, the better.
Jing'an Hou nodded: "But if you want to leave, you won't be able to get out easily." The emperor refused to agree, and it would be useless to say anything.
"This... I naturally have a way to plan." The Fourth Master said lightly
But as the saying goes, you will not receive any reward without any merit! He doesn't think that if someone really gets along with him, he will help him so hard. If he pays, he will expect rewards. What do he want to ask himself to do for him?
The look of the fourth master at Jing'an's eyes suddenly became deeper: "Your tone... I really didn't think about taking... instead?" After all, he is a clan of the royal family. If he really takes office, there would be no great resistance. And he has an advantage that others do not have, that is, his wife Yun Yin is the emperor's daughter.
The Fourth Master laughed and waved his hand, unable to continue the topic, "You are really thinking too much. This is not what you should consider most now." He reminded: "The prince has passed the filial piety period, and the matter of the princess should be put on the agenda..."
Jing'an Hou felt a sudden slap in his heart. He had a lot of granddaughters, but he didn't want to jump onto the prince's boat easily. Not to mention that Yun Yin and the prince-consort are not fuel-efficient lamps, then Concubine Li still had a phoenix egg in her belly? If she really gave birth to a prince, it would be really lively. This boy reminded him that he could not stay in the capital anymore, so he would avoid these disputes first.
When the Fourth Master saw that the Marquis of Jing'an responded, he smiled. This was a quiet dark chess, and its importance was irreplaceable. He drank the wine in the glass silently and looked at the prince.
The prince followed up to the court officials who were toasting and chatting and laughed, looking gentle and generous, but the measure in the middle was very good. He needed to drink someone to toast. He only needed to sip him. He could sit still whenever he toast. This was all in particular. The prince had never made any mistakes for such a long time. He had such a thing last night, and he could still be as if nothing had happened today. It shows how tenacity and adaptability are.
Lin Yutong is now in Beichen Palace, sitting opposite Gan's family.
"Are there any other place except the Imperial Study Room?" Lin Yutong asked.
Gan shook his head: "No! There are only a few masters in this palace. If there were really other people who saw what they shouldn't have seen, I wouldn't have known it."
Then this is for Emperor Yongkang.
Lin Yutong frowned, and did not ask about the haunted details, but said, "What about the emperor? What's wrong with him?"
"I was scared." Gan said, then shook his head, "Actually, I don't know if he was really scared?"
What does this mean? Are you scared and unable to tell the difference?
Gan said as if he was recalling: "When I went in, the emperor was indeed shaking all over, and it was true that it was true that he was scared to the extreme. But people will develop courage when they were scared to the extreme."
Lin Yutong nodded, and this was not unreasonable. When people were frightened, they often said something like, "You come out, I will do whatever you want." Even a common man would do this, such as yelling to dismember five horses and undivide them, and so on to give himself courage. But an emperor who controls other people's life and death is so cowardly?
If you think about this, you really feel that there is something wrong.
Seeing Lin Yutong understand, Gan said, "With his nature, he will definitely say that when you are alive, I am not afraid of you, and if you become a ghost, I am not afraid of you. If I can kill you once and make you become a ghost, then I can kill you a second time, so that you will be scattered and will never be born. This is his character. Maybe at that time, for a moment, he was really shocked and guilty. But... Later... when he reacted, he should be doing a show."
Lin Yutong thought to herself that these two people really know each other well. She sighed: "You are not here, are you?"
Gan's heart was shocked, and he remembered the two of them's answers. He might not feel anything at that time, but after thinking about it, I was afraid that he would understand that he was using the opportunity to scare him. No wonder he turned around and called himself back to Beichen Palace. It turned out that the root was here.
Lin Yutong glanced at Gan: "You are still a little too impatient."
Gan used his fingernails to tick the bracelet on his wrist and nodded: "You're right, I'm really impatient." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "But this is not the current priority. The most important thing at the moment is how the ghost in the imperial study room started to make trouble. Even the imperial study room is not clean, so where is the place in this palace? How did this person penetrate in? What exactly does the person behind the scenes want to do? It's easy to kill the prince, but who cares about the prince's not the prince if he is too impatient. But the things that the prince is involved in behind are people's concerns. If he doesn't pull out the hand behind the prince, the emperor will not be at ease. And the only thing the emperor can rely on is me. Even if he is dissatisfied with me, he will not reveal it. And I..." I will not give him a chance to do anything to me.
When he went back tonight, Lin Yutong said to the Fourth Master what he said to Gan today, "Actually... I think the Imperial Study Room may not have an insider, but..."
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong: "What is it?"
"Secret Road." Lin Yutong whispered: "Is there a secret road in this palace that we don't know?"
There is a secret room in the palace... This is not surprising. But when it comes to secret passages... building secret passages for the palace, the Fourth Master really doesn't think this would be a good idea. "Many people even say there are secret passages in the Forbidden City?"
Lin Yutong frowned: "When the Forbidden City was obtained, it was a second-hand product. We didn't even see the serious second-hand house, which doesn't mean there is no one."
The Fourth Master rolled his eyes and rolled her. After a long time, he had been living in a second-hand house. "So, you have suffered a grievance with me. You didn't ask you to live in a new house."
Lin Yutong immediately said: "Most of our gardens are new."
The Fourth Master 's humming' and pulled Lin Yutong: "Sleep! Sleep! I'm asking someone to stare at me. What's going on? News will be heard in two days."
The wind was howling at night, and Gan sat opposite Emperor Yongkang, "Are you planning to endure tonight? Don't you want it?"
Emperor Yongkang's face was a little pale: "Where can you dare to close your eyes?"
Gan looked outside and the Imperial Guard surrounded the Imperial Study room tightly, with three floors inside and three percent outside, and people were hidden on the roof and beams. If this was haunted again, it would be really interesting.
She didn't say anything, but leaned along the side, holding a note in her hand: "Why do I miss you?"
Emperor Yongkang waved his hand, looking tense all over.
Gan said, "You are the Lord of the Nine Five, and you are not invaded by all evil, so you don't need to be afraid. The emperors from ancient times... who have clean hands? If there is really a ghost, where can people stay in this world?"
Emperor Yongkang took a deep look: "Yes! I naturally understand this principle. This person is more terrifying than a ghost. But I just want to think, what is the purpose of his troubles? Could it be to scare me to death? It would be better to directly induce me to fuse me. Therefore, this seems to be the matter of the prince taking the lead, but it is not. The prince thought he was using others, but the real situation was probably because he was used by others. As for whether he knew that he was being used by others, I don't know this. But this is not important. I just want to know who can control the prince? Prince Duan died, and only women and children left in Prince Duan's house... It should not be too much."
Therefore, the more people think that this person is, it is difficult to see clearly.
Gan lowered his eyelids, which was exactly what she couldn't understand. "The reason why you were scared last night was not because you saw the handwriting, but... it was... afraid! How could you let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? This person could be haunted by the emperor's bedside, so wouldn't it be easy to take the opportunity to assassinate..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yongkang glanced over, "It's not good for women to be too smart!"
Gan's lips pursed and then smiled softly: "You're talking about it."
Emperor Yongkang held the teacup and slowly closed his eyes. In fact, he was really scared at that time, but it was getting darker and he woke up. This was really scared.
Gan thought in his heart that the people behind this didn't seem to be trying to help the prince get to power, but it was more like to torture Emperor Yongkang.
Lai Fu brought a pot of tea, poured a cup for both masters, and slowly stepped back.
After a cup of tea, look at the hourglass, it is already midnight.
Gan suddenly felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and suddenly, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. She felt that her feet were wet and sticky, and there was a smell of blood everywhere. The surroundings were pitch black, and he could not see his five fingers. He walked over with a little light. Under the torch, the ground was covered with corpses from different places.
"Dad...mother...brother...sister-in-law...hu'er..." Gan's mouth muttered, and his hands slowly trembled. The vivid heads were all looking at her with their eyes open, as if asking her why they didn't avenge them. Gan's head shook his head: "I haven't forgotten...I haven't forgotten...I have to wait..."
With a "clang" sound, Gan immediately woke up. He opened his eyes and before he could come to his senses, Emperor Yongkang's hideous face appeared, and his hands and feet were constantly waving. He didn't know that the kang table was overturned.
Before she could react, Lai Fu, Madam He and others rushed in when they heard the noise. Seeing the emperor's appearance, Lai Fu's expression changed and he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up, Your Majesty!"
Not only did Emperor Yongkang not wake up, but his hand seemed to have found a target and pinched Lai Fu's neck. Lai Fu opened his eyes wide in horror, and after a while, his face turned purple.
No one dared to move in the room. I wonder what happened to the emperor?
Gan picked up the jade pillow on one side, raised his hand and smashed it on the back of Emperor Yongkang's neck, but shouted in his mouth: "Are you a damn beast? This is also where you dare to come?" The sound was particularly loud, and the people outside couldn't help but change their faces when they heard it. Is there really a ghost? Then this ghost is not afraid of the emperor but the concubine Chen, isn't it strange?
Emperor Yongkang fell down softly immediately. Madam He knew that this was actually knocked unconscious by her master.
Lai Fu knelt down limply, stroked his neck with his hands, and coughed. After a long time, when Gan and Madam He settled the emperor on the couch, he recovered, stood up slowly, and said to Gan, "Thank you for your life-saving grace."
Gan looked at the mark on Lai Fu's neck and shook his head: "The emperor is awake. How should you reply? Do you understand?"
Lai Fu's heart was so shocked that he naturally understood. It was impossible to say that Concubine Chen beat the emperor to save him. In this way, his life was really over. It's not that he didn't want to be a loyal slave, but that he was so close that he was too close to death. He never wanted to try it again.
Seeing that he was tactful, Gan pointed to the broken teapot and said, "You sent this tea, the problem lies here. Take the residue carefully." Although the pot was broken, there was still tea left on the fragments. If you check it, you should find it out soon.
Lai Fu's face turned pale. This time he really kowtowed three times to Gan. If he hadn't known the situation just now, he would have been afraid that this would have been the case. When the emperor knew that it was a mistake, he would not have enough to cut his head. Now that is the case, Concubine Chen has concealed it for him.
Seeing Lai Fu clean up everything and slowly retreated. Gan looked at the roof. If the people above were smart, they would know what they could say and what they could not say. They also had to make mistakes and lose their heads. It would be better if they were not clear or not.
Thinking of this, just as he was about to ask someone to call the imperial physician over, the chaos outside became chaotic. Lai Fu Zhan came over tremblingly, "Empress, Chaofeng Palace and Yilan Palace have both started to make trouble."
"Where is the East Palace?" Gan asked hurriedly.
Lai Fu shook his head: "The East Palace did not hit anyone."
That is, the East Palace did not make a fuss. Gan raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether he was smart or not.
"You guard your Majesty, I'll go and have a look." Gan said, then took the cloak and hurried out with Madam He.
At this time, Lin Yutong's eyes opened suddenly. She stuffed a pill into her mouth and immediately stuffed another one to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master is familiar with this taste, so after swallowing it, he immediately opened his eyes. He did not rush to speak, but looked at Lin Yutong, and saw her lying quietly, and then looked around vigilantly.
In fact, if you look at it like this, you can't see anything at all. Both of you sleep in the tent. The tent is covered tightly and you can't see clearly outside.
Lin Yutong used to like this tent because the ancient houses were different from modern ones. First, the house was tall, and the roof was not so clean, and some dust would often fall off. With the tent roof, nothing would fall on the bed. Moreover, the house was large enough that people were insecure in the open surroundings and couldn't sleep well. Therefore, she always liked this tent that gave people a sense of security.
But now, this tent is very annoying.
I wanted to go out, but I was afraid of alerting the snake. Lin Yutong could only endure it so much.
Slowly, her nose suddenly smelled a familiar smell, which was the smell of tracking powder. It was the person who was newly married on the night of the wedding. Lin Yutong sprinkled tracking powder on her body. After this incident, Lin Yutong learned from the Fourth Master that there was Jin Chengquan's work, which was borrowed by him from the prince. Since she knew the mastermind, she didn't care about this little person. For such a long time, she almost forgot that when such a person appeared, he appeared again.
And this time, it is impossible to have anything to do with Jin Chengquan. The prince who was speculating back then would not be Prince Heng and Emperor Yongkang of the past. Then, this person can only be Prince Duan’s person. Prince Duan is dead, so who do they obey now? The prince?
Lin Yutong was confused in her heart, and saw the Fourth Master looking at him with her eyes open. She quietly handed a wax ball to the Fourth Master, laying in his ear and saying, "It's crushed and throwing it out of the tent."
