The concubine's son Gaomen 76

Afraid?

This was heard in Kou Zhun's ears, and he really couldn't laugh. Until now, he realized that from the beginning, he had no idea about this princess at all. Although she frequently entered the palace, as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, she always had a chance to meet her. But no one knew that she would hide so deeply. However, now that I thought about it, I felt that although I didn't expect it, the prince probably knew it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a big fight and called so many people to deal with a female person. But even so, he still fell in love. Feng Yuan led the people all the way to chase him, which proved that she had seen through herself at that time. She was prepared. But in the middle, she had been with her whole journey, and still couldn't figure out how she passed the news to Feng Yuan.

Thinking of this, his lips pursed and said with emotion: "Your Highness, it's impossible for people to see through."

Lin Yutong smiled as he saw his hand holding the knife not relaxing at all. She never dared to underestimate anyone and said meaningfully: "Is General Kou's family in Zuojiazhuang okay?"

Kou Zhun's hand holding the knife suddenly tightened and lifted the knife slightly. She pried the dead soldier's mouth open, and even Zuojiazhuang knew about it. How long did it take? She could do this. It shows how his method was. This made his heart become uneasy. He could die no matter how he died, but his mother, his wife, and his children. They had never done anything evil. If they died for their own sake, it would be too unfair.

Lin Yutong saw fear in the other party's eyes, and her voice became more and more calm, "You have always been your confidant. This makes me a little strange. When did you, who had a great future, get closer to Prince Duan? Even though you were Prince Duan's person, you hid so well that no one showed up. Shouldn't you be more aware of the current affairs and not show up? Why did you jump out instead? This made me unable to understand. Maybe there is another possibility, that is, you have never been Prince Duan's person, but have just joined the prince's disciple."

"Your Highness... what are you doing?" Kou Zhun looked back and saw Jiang Zhong catch up, "Are you... delaying time?"

"Do I need to delay time?" Lin Yutong held a gun in her hand and drove the horse in a few more times. "I think you should worry about your family now. If you really keep hanging with the prince like this, maybe the prince will not be in trouble, but what about you and your family?"

"Your Highness wants to persuade me to surrender?" Kou Zhun's tone was a little sarcastic, "As long as I kill the princess here today, no one can know where my family is. As long as no one knows, it will be as safe."

Lin Yutong shook her head: "You are really stubborn. I don't know what benefits the prince has given you. But in my opinion, if the minister chooses to stand in a team, he should choose a wise person. The prince is now completely out of control and has made many tricks. Since you are the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, then as the boss, you should know that he is a mediocre person. I think it's not difficult for you to avoid his sight and arrange for the prince to enter the palace. With you, a person guarding the palace, as long as the prince returns to the palace safely, you should be on the court.

All the important ministers and nobles of the court were summoned to the palace, and everyone knew that the prince returned to the palace was aware of it. He became a firm believer. No one dared to easily enthrone the prince by the late emperor? Even His Majesty had to consider it. He had a legitimate identity, and he kept such good innate conditions and had to hang out in the pile of thieves. Isn't this arbitrary thing? He was so crazy. He was confused, and what was ridiculous is that the people who followed him were also confused. If you can advise him, you would not watch the prince reach the current level."

The cold wind in winter nights made people tremble all over. But Lin Yutong's words made him feel chilled.

Yes! Things can be operated like this. But why didn’t follow this path? Did the prince not think of it? No! It was the prince who was afraid of the palace, His Majesty, and even Concubine Chen from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t have the courage and courage to stand directly on the opposite side of His Majesty. After thinking about this, he closed his eyes. His image, which was like a god in his heart, collapsed like this.

He couldn't help thinking in his heart that if Princess Yunyin and the prince were in a different place, I was afraid that Princess Yunyin's choice would be completely different from that of the prince.

Speaking of this, even Lin Yutong couldn't help but sigh at Kou Zhun's reaction. It was said that character determines destiny. This is also very applicable here. Is the prince stupid? Not stupid! Not only is he not stupid, he often handles things very appropriately. However, his personality is cowardly and timid, so the path he chose is completely different.

"Put down your knife!" Lin Yutong looked at Kou Zhun's eyes, "Put down your knife, I have no special habit of killing people. I can keep it aside..."

Kou Zhun opened his eyes suddenly and raised the knife. Lin Yutong had just flashed back with caution, but saw him put the knife under his neck: "Your Highness! You may be right!" He closed his eyes again, and then slowly shook his head, "But... I can't do anything to sell the owner and ask for honor! I was not the one who belonged to Prince Duan, and the reason why I defected to the prince was because the prince was kind and kind and had a life-saving grace to my mother. Today, Your Highness was considered to be kind to me. But please forgive me for not being polite. I cannot do anything to betray the Lord. But it is not my original intention to fall into death. I am willing to exchange my life for my family to avoid being implicated..." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong with a begging face, and then the knife cut across his neck and blood came out.

Lin Yutong closed her eyes fiercely until she heard the sound of falling to the ground that she slowly opened her eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" Lin Yutong sighed softly at the person who was lying on the ground and still twitching.

Jiang Zhong was so tired that he ran and chased after him. From a distance, he saw a man being caught off guard. He was shocked. The person who was caught off guard could not be Kou Zhun. If this guy was not capable, he would not be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. Thinking of the face that made people unable to move their eyes, he shouted suddenly: "Kou Zhun, I'm afraid you 18 generations of ancestors." As he shouted, a sudden burst of energy suddenly lifted up his body.

He ran to the front as if crazy, but saw that Princess Yunyin sitting on the horse frowned and looking at him was Kou Zhun. His neck was bleeding and his whole body was twitching. Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then possessed himself and said in surprise: "Is this suicide?" The wound was obvious. Before Lin Yutong could speak, Kou Zhun said in a voice that was no bigger than a mosquito: "...No... the princess... is... the substitute..."

Lin Yutong suddenly understood in her heart. Kou Zhun knew his strength and even more knew that he wanted to hide his strength. So he used his last strength to cover up for himself so that he could show mercy to his family. She looked at Kou Zhun and nodded slightly, as if she accepted his kindness.

Kou Zhun then gasped and slowly swallowed.

Jiang Zhong suddenly stood up and laughed. Lin Yutong wanted to whip him again. He was dead, so you laugh.

When he turned around, Jiang Zhong's eyes shone, just like a hungry wolf.

"Haha... It turns out that you are not Your Highness Princess, but a substitute!" Jiang Zhong wished he could dance, "I just said, what kind of person is the princess? How can you be a stingy girl like you? It's also my old Jiang. Don't worry, I'll go and ask the princess to go back. Our old Jiang is also a fourth-rank general after all, and it's still OK to ask the princess to give you to me as a wife. I promise that the matchmaker will marry you and welcome you through the 18 sedan chairs..."

Lin Yutong raised her feet and kicked him in the chest, "You'd better shut up your mouth honestly."

Jiang Zhong was kicked and sat on the ground, but he still stood up laughing. Lin Yutong no longer gave him a chance to speak and ordered: "You are waiting for Feng Yuan here, and you don't have to leave any living things today. Can you do these things properly?"

"Is this a thing?" Jiang Zhong patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I must be satisfied with the princess. As long as the princess is satisfied, I will have the chance to speak to the princess and ask you."

Lin Yutong turned her head with her horse's belly in her arms, "Then I'll leave this aftermath to you. I'll go back to the capital first."

As he said that, he took the horse and left. Jiang Zhong's shouting could be heard behind him: "Do you want me to send you there? Do you know the way alone?"

Lin Yutong ignored this man and ran away on a horse.

When Feng Yuan came over, he saw Lieutenant General Jiang Kou Zhun's body be moved immediately. He asked anxiously: "Where is the princess?"

Jiang Zhong curled his lips: "How can I go there? Why do you think the royal people are so scrupulous? I still bring a substitute when I go out. I am confused now. I don't know when the princess I see is real and when it is fake."

"What does it mean?" Feng Yuan was a little confused by Jiang Zhong's words.

Jiang Zhong grinned: "I don't know what the hell is. Anyway, Kou Zhun said that the princess is not a princess, but a substitute!"

Feng Yuan frowned: "This substitute looks a bit like a little. Where can I find someone who looks exactly the same? The princess we saw in the military camp must be real! But where did this substitute... change?"

Jiang Zhong remembered that just now, she only looked at the princess' clothes and the voice was the princess, but she really didn't see the princess' face. The passionate fire in his heart suddenly went out, and he scratched his head irritably, "If that's the case, the person who ambushed Kou Zhun on the way was the princess' substitute. Later, I went back to find you, and the only princess was left. It should be that time. The princess hid, and the one who came out was the substitute."

So, the front and back are connected.

Feng Yuan nodded: "The affairs of the Tian family, the people of the Tian family cannot be judged according to common sense. But if this is the case, it seems that all this is reasonable. Otherwise, if Your Highness takes two horses to the trap of others and then drives you back to lead the way, is it unreasonable? The fate of these people is to say that they are precious and that they are cheap. It is for the sake of the birth and death of the Tian family. There is no reason why the princess takes risks alone in order to protect your kid's life."

Jiang Zhong smiled bitterly, and this was right. It was more like he didn't want to let himself know her secret, and beat him up to replace him. He sighed, ran all night and his throat was smoked, and turned around and grabbed a handful of clean snow from the side of the road and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let's go! You have to finish what you should do!"

He said this, but he was still confused in his heart. There were too many things that made him distracted and didn't think about it carefully. Now when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that something was wrong. It was said that he knew a woman when he smelled the fragrance. The fragrance he smelled from meeting this princess was the same. He had never smelled this fragrance on other women. Even a substitute, I don't think he would be so meticulous. There was no difference in the smell on his body.

He put this in his heart and got up with his yellow horse. Then he looked in the direction where Lin Yutong left, turned around and followed Feng Yuan to clean the battlefield just now. He had to think about how to tell the old coach when he went back.

But Lin Yutong rode a horse all night and arrived outside the city gate before dawn. At this time, the city gate had not opened yet.

Without a token, you can't enter the capital at this time.

She got off the horse, looked up, but still didn't rashly call the city gate. There was no special token in her hand. Not far away, there was a small businessman selling tea, who had already gotten up to make a fire and prepared for a day's business. Lin Yutong led the horse over and sat on the stall that had just been set up.

An old man outside fifty years old looked at Lin Yutong, "Keep, the stove has just risen, and the water is not hot. Otherwise, I will give you some pastries first. This is my own food. It was hot next to the stove last night. If you don't dislike being vulgar..." He said, then looked at Lin Yutong carefully. Seeing that this girl looked not something that ordinary people could have, the clothes on her body, and the horses tied on one side, were all found by wealthy families. Although the girl was still covered with blood, he would not dare to serve her accidentally if she could sit here so calmly.

Lin Yutong naturally knew what she looked like. She didn't change her clothes, but she waited for the city gate to open before entering the city. Isn't it just to ask people to see how she looks now? Seeing the old man's cautious look, she stuffed two taels of silver over, "If you have anything to eat, just bring it up." She was really hungry.

After taking a bite, the snacks came out very soft. They were made of sweet potatoes, with a bit of the unique sweetness of sweet potatoes. In a short while, another pot of hot tea came up and drank it into her mouth. It was chrysanthemum tea. She killed a plate of snacks by herself, and a pot of tea heard the sound of horse hooves from afar.

She didn't care much about the person who was in a hurry to go on the road in the future, but she didn't expect the store owner to look up and murmured: "I'm afraid something is going to happen. This is an urgent report from Eight hundred miles!"

Lin Yutong narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the man on his horse carrying a small apricot-yellow flag. Isn’t it just a banhongli urgent report?

She quickly got up, walked out of the teahouse in three or two steps, and then turned over and jumped up after taking the horse. She couldn't stop guessing that this was probably news from the border.

The horse rushed past her, headed straight to the city gate, and shouted below to open the door: "———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Lin Yutong urged the horse to follow the Yima without a sound.

The postman looked at Lin Yutong, a little stunning, but after a flash of consciousness, he was more vigilant.

"It's all at the gate of the city, you don't have to be so nervous." Lin Yutong said, raising the jade sign in her hand. This is from the princess's mansion.

The postman glanced at it and nodded, but did not relax at all.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yutong looked at the dark red marks on the postman's boots and couldn't help asking: "Have you been attacked halfway?"

The postman frowned and looked at Lin Yutong without saying a word.

Lin Yutong still asked, but the city gate was already open at this time.

The postman drove his horse into the city. Lin Yutong didn't care about anything else at this moment, and she was anxious to know about the border. So she followed the postman and broke into the city gate.

"Stop!" A scolding came from behind. This city gate was not something that anyone could get in if they wanted. If you force yourself to walk, you would be afraid that you would have to ring the gong to warn.

Lin Yutong threw the waist card from the Princess Mansion over: "Take this to hand in the business. If something goes wrong, the Princess Mansion will take responsibility."

The person chasing him immediately woke up. He was originally working for one night, but at dawn, he was the most sleepy at this moment. When he came over to report an urgent message, he was shocked. Now he came from the princess's mansion, and he was not so scared that he woke up all of them.

The one who was with him was a forty-year-old man who had been guarding the city gate for more than 20 years. Seeing that the boy was still standing there, he said, "Why don't you hurry up and report to Shangguan, why are you doing in a stand-alone situation? I'm afraid something happened again."

The young man was stunned and responded quickly. He turned around and didn't even want the knife in his hand, so he ran away.

The middle-aged man sighed: "It seems that he has to retire in advance. If you continue to do this errand, you will probably lose your head." The little man has the wisdom of a little man.

But Lin Yutong chased the postman straight to the palace gate. He guarded the gate and took the thin tube sealed by the postman's hand and saw that Lin Yutong had arrived. He said in panic: "Your Highness...you..."

Lin Yutong saw him in a hurry to report, and knew that he was thinking too much, thinking that he was following the postman in a hurry to read the emergency report. She waved her hand: "You should do whatever you should do quickly. This is a coincidence, I happened to meet..."

The gatekeeper then ran inside quickly. Lin Yutong was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she turned around and asked the postman, "What's your name?"

Only then did the postman realize that this was the princess. This time he did not dare to shirk responsibility and said directly: "Little Huangshan. Your Highness asked the youngest if he had been attacked. The youngest did not dare to tell everyone about this matter, so..."

Lin Yutong waved her hand: "I know, there is no need to explain, just talk about the situation at that time."

Huang Shan pursed his lips and then he cheered up: "Yes! I was attacked last night."

"Do you know who it is?" Lin Yutong looked at Huang Shan's eyes, as if she wanted to judge the authenticity of what he said.

Huangshan was blushed when Lin Yutong saw it, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Yutong's eyes. He just said, "It's two people dressed up by mountain people. He wanted to grab the little one and sit down the horse. One of them was kicked by the little one, kicked it in the face, and the nosebleed was stained on the boots."

The mountain people didn't know the depth of the horses of the postmen? This behavior seemed reasonable, but in fact it couldn't stand the scrutiny at all. There might be such mountain people who have been hiking in the mountains all year round, but the possibility is very small at the foot of the emperor. In this capital, even the forests, there are basically masters. How can the mountain people down there be on their territory? When he was attacked last night, it is not difficult to know that he had entered the capital at that time. Why was this coincidental? He encountered mountain people robbing horses in the important part of the capital? Besides, the fast horses passed by the roadside, and most people couldn't stop them. How did these two mountain people stop the postmen? Not only did they not hurt the horses, but they did not hurt the postmen who were sent to the urgent report? It seems that it is not reasonable.

Lin Yutong looked at the postman Huangshan again: "Have you fallen off the horse? Or has someone approached you or contacted you?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Huangshan's face: "Yes! Xiao kicked the thief at that time, but he didn't expect his body to stabilize and fell off the horse. However, another mountaineer saw the flag behind Xiao and knew what Xiao was doing. He pulled Xiao and did not fall too much. Otherwise, it would be delayed. Xiao saw that these two people were not killing their lives, and he did not bother them, so he quickly set off on his way."

Lin Yutong knew it in her mind. She ordered the person guarding the gate: "Please settle him well! Don't treat food and drink badly, and ask him to rest first. Maybe he will be summoned in a while." As she said that, she threw twenty taels of silver to the postman, "Take it! Reward you."

Huang Shan hugged the silver in a daze until Lin Yutong walked away and came to his senses.

"Isn't thank you yet?" The gatekeeper scolded. Where did the boy come from? He got the green eyes of a noble man.

Huang Shan came to his senses, knelt down and kowtowed. He then took the silver to the people guarding the palace gate, and gave it half of it when they met. This is the rule.

But the people guarding the gate don’t like these twenty taels of silver. Those who don’t have any background at home can’t plan the job of guarding the gate.

Lin Yutong hurriedly went to Beichen Palace, no matter what the people behind her were thinking. As soon as she entered Beichen Palace, she was told that Concubine Chen was in the imperial study. She didn't stop and turned around and was about to go over.

"Do you want to wash and change your clothes?" the palace servant asked quickly.

Lin Yutong waved her hand: "No need! I'm in a hurry." As she said that, she turned around and left.

Madam He saw Lin Yutong coming from afar and greeted her. But as soon as she saw Lin Yutong's appearance, she frowned, "Your Highness, this is..."
To be continued...
