"If even the secret guards around the emperor have been changed, no one can blame it." Fourth Master said and stood up, "Whether the new emperor is in the right position or not is not our business. Remember, we only need to do

Do our duty. The rules of the secret guard camp cannot be broken."

Elder Di quickly bowed and agreed. If such a big mistake had been made in the foreign village, the three elders would not be able to escape their responsibility. Now it was just left to them to clean it up, which was extremely merciful.

After the fourth master left, Elder Zeng said: "It seems that we are really old. After this matter is settled, let's retreat on our own initiative. It's time to give up the power in our hands. Don't wait for others to speak. This

I’ve really lost all my life-long dignity.”

Elder Wu sighed, this Jin Jiajiu was not easy to deal with. He entrusted this kind of internal cleaning matter to Elder Di with 'full trust', seemingly asking them to clean up their own mistakes. But this is not the case.

The good reputation is also burdened by old immortals like them. Regardless of whether there is a problem in the foreign village, in the eyes of the people below, they have attacked their own people first.

Elder Di sighed: "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's send the outsiders out first. No outsiders can come here anymore."

"Let's wait until the snow stops." Elder Wu looked outside and said as if he remembered something: "It can be seen from this incident that there is indeed something wrong with Jin Chengan. When did he get so close to Prince Heng?

, we have no idea at all.”

Passive! Too passive!

But it snowed for four or five days at a time. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the snow finally subsided. At night, Xiao Wei invited the two of them to go down the mountain: "The carriage is ready."

Walking at night, there is a thin line of sky, and most people can't tell the difference between east, west and north. Along the way, there are many detours to set up confusing obstacles. Until the night of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the carriage stopped for a long time without moving, and no one spoke outside.

,.

Lin Yutong felt that he should have arrived in the capital and glanced at the Fourth Master.

The fourth master opened the curtain and looked outside, then shook his head: "It's pitch black and people have evacuated. It should be not far from the capital."

Withdrawn?

This is really an unethical thing to do. Now that the city gate has been closed, they are still outside the city and will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Although there is everything in the carriage, he will not freeze to death in one night. But throwing people here is unreasonable.

"This should be considered the outer city." Fourth Master said, getting up and walking down, "The outer city is usually very lively, and there is no place to stay." But now it is a national mourning, and it coincides with the Chinese New Year, so many stores probably

They are all closed. But as long as you have money, you can find a clean place to stay for a night.

Unexpectedly, before Fourth Master went down, Jin Shouren's voice came from outside, "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother! Come down and take a look."

His voice was a bit panicked. I don't know since when, Jin Shouren always liked to go to Fourth Master when something happened.

Fourth Master motioned to Lin Yutong to sit calmly before turning around and going down.

Jin Shouren saw the fourth master getting off the carriage. He turned around and saw Jin Chengquan and Jin Shouli walking down. "Second uncle, third uncle, look, where are we? Are these bastards going to kill us?"

Where are you still?"

Who knows where this fool is?

Jin Chengquan shook his head: "According to the days, we should be near the capital." He pointed to the faint lights in the distance, "There is a house there, let's go there first." It will be warmer in the car, in the end.

There was no one around, and I felt very scared.

But no one knows how to drive a carriage except Fourth Master.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong left first, and finally found a small inn. They gave the waiter some money and asked him to find a few people nearby who could drive a carriage, and then picked up the others.

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

Jin Chengquan sighed: "I couldn't figure out how to give us a good gift...so this is what happened." His heart was beating fast. He had been in contact with Prince Duan in private before.

.I don’t know if this matter will be revealed.

Mr. Gao on the other side pointed at the men sitting around, pulled Lin Yutong and said: "I have encountered all the sins I have never suffered in half my life." If you don't touch Yang Chunsui, one person has to be served by more than a dozen people.

You never know how tiring it is to take care of the two men by yourself. The food they sent you can't eat, but you can eat it. But you have to boil the hot water yourself. It's so smoky that you can't even boil the water.

It was not that there was no time. The kang was not hot and cold. However, Lin Yutong asked people to deliver food several times, and it was very smooth. "You are a good boy. When you get to a place like that, you still remember us."

Lin Yutong tentatively said: "The guards are strict. I want to see my second aunt, but they won't let me go. I don't know where it is?"

Mr. Gao curled his lips: "I guess we have arrived in Liaodong. After walking for so many days, I think it is about the same."

Little Chu shook her head: "I don't think it's Liaodong. Are we going north? It doesn't seem like it. I think it might be in Shandong."

Liaodong? Shandong?

None of them are right.

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

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, how did she figure it out?

Mrs. Gao looked at Qi Duoer: "Second daughter-in-law, you don't know how to count, do you? How many days have we been gone? You don't know how many days?"

Qi Duoer smiled a little shyly and said in a soft voice: "I was thinking in my heart, these people may not be taking us in circles intentionally. Anyway, I ate the food those people sent me, and it was a real treat.

The taste of the capital and the accent..."

Little Chu sneered: "Those people are quite polite to us, and it is inevitable for them to take care of our taste in food. Those people are also the ones who took us out of the capital. They must live in the capital area on weekdays.

According to what you said, it is near the capital. But if it is really near the capital, no matter whether it is our house or the Chu family, there will be no news about us." If there was news, they would have taken us back.

Qi Duoer had an uncomfortable smile on her face: "That's my guess too. Who can say for sure? Let's ask the men to check." As he said that, he glanced in the direction of a few men and looked at them.

There was a hint of soft color in it.

Lin Yutong didn't care about their secret rivalry, but looked at Qi Duo'er with admiration again.

After returning to the room, Lin Yutong told Fourth Master about Qi Duoer's guess, "I was thinking, is it really safe that the secret guard camp is still in place?"

The fourth master waved his hand: "It's okay! The one who knows that place now is Jin Chengan. But Jin Chengan didn't see Luo Guo's reply, so he should know that something happened to him. He was afraid that the secret guard camp would expose his old background, so he wouldn't

Acting rashly. After all, there is not only one exit at the mountainside, Yixiantian. If it doesn't work, seal Yixiantian and activate another entrance and exit."

I spent the night in an inn, hired a driver the next day, and went all the way back to the capital.

The second roommate returned to his room, and Mrs. Chu took Jin Shouren and Mrs. Chu to talk to each other and ask for details. However, Jin Chengan was in the palace and had not returned yet.

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

Sanxi and others were crying and laughing when they saw Li, "Master, I'm finally back."

"It's still comfortable at home." Lin Yutong called them up, "Okay, don't cry so much. Didn't everyone come back safely?"

After washing up and putting the food on the table, Sanxi handed back the body deed that Lin Yutong had given her before, "Master, there is one more thing."

Lin Yutong turned around while holding the soup bowl and looked over, "Something happened? What happened? Say..."

"The eldest lady has been taken into the house by the madam." Sanxi looked puzzled, "But when I heard what it meant, it seemed like I didn't know anyone. The Lin family also sent someone, and it was the Marquis himself.

, seeing that the master was not at home, that’s all. I inquired specifically, and said that the eldest girl had a brain injury and could not remember anything. Now that she has brought her back, Aunt Bai is taking care of her personally. I heard some girls in the Imperial Courtyard muttering,

There is joy."

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

How capable was Jin Chengan to usurp the throne successfully?

Otherwise, Lin Yuzhi wouldn't be able to rush like this.

"I understand." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "You can do whatever you want with her from now on. You don't have to worry about her anymore." Both Jin Shouren and Chu Huaiyu suspected that Lin Yuzhi knew something he shouldn't know. When she came into the house, Chu Huaiyu probably didn't either.

Something will happen.

After the girls went down, she served another bowl of rice to the fourth master and handed it over, "Now that we have a grandson, when Prince Heng ascends the throne, the grandson will immediately become the prince. Lin Yuzhi is really anxious."

Fourth Master handed over the stir-fried bean sprouts and said, "I'm still too busy with so many important things, why should I bother to do it for her?"

Lin Yutong sighed, isn't it! Now that Prince Heng has ascended the throne, what kind of position will Concubine Gan be conferred on? This is what she has been worried about these two days. "The princess is the principal concubine. The position of the queen, no matter what,

They should all be legitimate concubines. There is no doubt about this. But between the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, how should I choose?" Even though Mrs. Gan is her biological mother, she still feels that the imperial concubine will not be able to sit in the queen's seat when someone is sitting there.

, it’s better not to think about the position of this imperial concubine easily.

Royal Palace.

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

Prince Heng turned to look at Concubine Gan: "What? I can't afford it for you?"

"No!" Concubine Gan looked at Prince Heng, "You should know about my relationship with Lord Xiang. Over the years, she has been feeling unhappy because of me. I can't help her anymore, and I can't push myself further."

Prince Heng took Concubine Gan's hand and said, "What did you call me in the hall before?"

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

But Prince Heng smiled: "You call me by my name in a moment of urgency?"

Concubine Gan turned her head and changed the subject: "We were talking about status. Now we are rambling about what we are talking about."

"You owe the most to me to be where I am today. I promised you to be the queen that day, but now you have even refused the position of imperial concubine." Prince Heng looked at Concubine Gan, as if he wanted to see through her, "What are you doing?

I’m worried that my flying birds will run out of good bows.”

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

"What promise?" Prince Heng looked at Concubine Gan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. It seemed as if the tenderness he showed just now didn't exist at all.

Concubine Gan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Why do you think I want to plead for Princess Duan?" She said, looking at Prince Heng, tears welling up in her eyes. "I remembered the time to collect the bodies of my parents.
