Chapter 214(1/2)
Ye Lin's lies came out, "No progress. Zhang Rongcheng, the castrated man, was serving Huaijing yesterday, and my informant couldn't contact him at all. But I guess he should have been bribed by Huaijing, and the two of them killed the prince and the prince together!"
Ye Lin chose some of the things that were not there and shared with Guangxi, pretending that he really went to investigate Zhang Rongcheng.
Of course, he did send someone to stare at Zhang Rongcheng, but he just stared at it and did not conduct in-depth investigations.
Guangxi nodded, agreeing deeply.
It is said that a loyal servant will not serve the two masters, and a good daughter will not serve the two husbands.
Zhang Rongcheng was originally from Emperor Jianye, but later he had to be valued by Huaijing. Anyone would have to doubt it?
Guangxi did not doubt that he was there, but just ordered Ye Lin: "Stop staring at Zhang Rongcheng, he will sooner or later reveal his flaws. When we rescue the imperial physicians' families, we will work together with two-pronged approach and we will not worry about not being able to catch Huaijing's tail!"
"Okay! I will continue to stare at Zhang Rongcheng." Ye Lin responded.
After leaving the palace, the two parted ways at the fork in the road and returned to their respective palaces.
Ye Lin went back to Prince Yu's Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, a servant reported: "Prince, General Xiao is here. He is in the front hall now, and the princess is being entertained."
Xiao Bing? Senior sister hasn't been here for a long time. Why did she suddenly come to the door today? Could it be...what is there?
Ye Lin nodded and accelerated his pace toward the front hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Green being entertaining Xiao Bing. He greeted Xiao Bing and said, "What kind of wind blows the senior sister?"
Xiao Bing turned around and glanced at her junior brother. The frost on her pretty face was finally melted away today. She had no choice but to answer: "Junior brother, don't joke about me. I came to the door today to ask my junior brother for help."
When Ye Lin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became calm. He asked, "What's the matter?"
The Xiao family has two marquises, and they need power, ability, and connections. To put it bluntly, there are only a handful of things that the Xiao family cannot solve.
Now that Xiao Bing comes to the door in person, it can be seen how serious the matter is.
Xiao Bing frowned and looked at Green, as if it was difficult to speak out.
Green's expression was also solemn, and he explained to Ye Lin: "The guy Huaijing asked the head of the Xiao family and said that he would take Xiao Bing as his concubine. The head of the Xiao family had already politely refused, but Huaijing pretended not to understand the words of the head of the Xiao family and insisted on taking Xiao Bing as his concubine. He said that the imperial edict would be given in two days."
After saying this, Ye Lin also tightened his brows and clenched his fists in anger.
Huaijing wants his senior sister to be his concubine? Bah! He is really not worthy! It’s like a toad wants to eat swan meat!
Just imagine, Princess Zhao, who is about to become the queen, is only a lady from the Duke's Mansion.
Although the title of Duke of the Kingdom is higher than that of the Marquis, the Xiao family has one family and two marquises, and in fact, it is not much inferior to the Duke's Mansion.
One is the legitimate lady from the Duke's Mansion, and the other is the legitimate lady from the Marquis Mansion. She looks like she is equal, but she can't resist Xiao Bing's position as a general. Compared to Princess Zhao, who seems to be a vase, Xiao Bing has much more role and ability.
Therefore, Xiao Bing is not worse than Princess Zhao, but she wants to become Huaijing's concubine. In the future, she will be governed by Princess Zhao and be subordinated to her. How can Xiao Minghong accept this?
No matter which royal relative or noble his daughter of the Xiao family marry, she is not a problem. The Xiao family is completely unable to leave her good wife and let her daughter run to become a concubine!
Of course, Huaijing was hired as a concubine.
It sounds like the imperial concubine is very high and very glorious. She is a noble concubine who lives below the queen. Isn’t the precious concubine also a concubine?
Xiao Minghong refused to agree. Because from Xiao Minghong's intuition, Huaijing's throne came from abnormally or even strangely.
So, Xiao Minghong didn't care about Huaijing at all, so how could he let his daughter be his concubine?
Because Huai Jing has admired Xiao Bing for a long time and finally became the emperor, wouldn’t he have to exercise his power to be the emperor?
He can do whatever he wants, and no one can disobey him!
Therefore, after the forged edict was announced, Huaijing sent someone to invite Xiao Minghong to the palace to discuss matters that afternoon.
What we discussed was naturally the matter of taking Xiao Bing as his concubine.
Xiao Minghong thought about it all night at home, but he really couldn't think of a perfect solution to this matter. He also wanted to write a letter to Xiao Mingcheng, the second brother stationed in Dongqu County, and ask him to help him think of a solution.
But this time is not enough, and the distance cannot quench the near thirst!
Xiao Bing took sick leave early this morning and deliberately hid and refused to go to court. But after thinking hard for a night, the Xiao family really couldn't think of a solution.
Xiao Bing had no choice but to come to Ye Lin.
"Junior brother, I'm really desperate. I would rather marry someone just than be a concubine!" Xiao Bing was in a very bad mood and was almost sluggish.
Ye Lin looked at Xiao Bing very seriously and said solemnly: "Don't worry first. Leave this matter to me. I will never let Huaijing's dirty thoughts succeed! If you don't help, let's call the master back and ask the master to rush into the palace to kill Huaijing! In short, there is still a solution to the matter, don't worry."
After receiving Ye Lin's comfort, Xiao Bing was in a much better mood.
She suddenly didn't remember that her master still had a way to solve the problem that the Xiao family could not solve!
Just as my junior brother said, if you don’t help, you will kill Huaijing. If you finish all the troubles, you will never be able to stop you from the future!
Xiao Bing burst into tears and laughed, "It's because I am confused by the authorities and I forgot about my master. Thank you, junior brother, for my words, I suddenly realized."
Ye Lin nodded and said, "Senior sister, please relax. Go home and wait, and leave everything to me."
Xiao Bing stood up and clasped his fists with Green and Ye Lin, showing off his heroic spirit, "Thank you, junior brother and junior brother and sister, goodbye!"
The couple sent Xiao Bing away together. When they walked back, Ye Lin's face had already sunk.
Green knew that Ye Lin was not as relaxed as he comforted Xiao Bing. After all, there were unknown people or forces behind Huai Jing that were supporting him. It was not easy to kill him.
"Don't worry, there will be a solution." Green took Ye Lin's arm and comforted him.
The couple returned to the main courtyard and closed the door. Ye Lin said in a deep voice: "It seems that we must speed up the handling of Huaijing's affairs. As long as he is pulled down from the throne, he will not be qualified to think about it and want to take his senior sister as his concubine."
Green looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Lin looked at Green, "There is a solution, but it is not suitable for me to come forward. You have to go."
Green raised his eyebrows and asked him with his eyes.
In the afternoon, Green was dressed solemnly and arrived at the Zhaowang Mansion in a carriage. After reporting, the butler led her in.
In the main hall, Princess Zhao was dignified and graceful, drinking tea.
Green stepped into the main hall and happened to see this scene.
"Second sister-in-law! I'm here, I'll let you wait for a long time." Green hung a decent but enthusiastic smile and quickly walked into the main hall.
That smile seemed to be like the two of them were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Princess Zhao Xue raised her head and looked at Green, smiling distant and politely. She said, "Tenth brother and sister, you are a rare guest! When the servant came to hand in the post, it made me wonder for a while. Let the princess guess why you came?"
Although Xue is about to become the queen, Huaijing will not be able to call herself "the palace" for a day without ascending the throne.
Green put on a professional smirk and said, "Second sister-in-law is joking. Actually, I have wanted to visit my second sister-in-law for a long time, but my husband and wife just got married, and then my father passed away. Now, after the mourning period was over, something happened in the mansion, which wasted time and did not come to visit my second sister-in-law in time. Please don't bother with me."
Xue smiled slightly, knowing that Green must be a problem when he came to visit.
Although she still can't guess clearly, she didn't hit the smiley person without hitting her. Green was very polite to her, so she naturally couldn't lose her face.
"Tenth brother and sister, sit down quickly. Try this year's new tea, it tastes really good."
Green thanked him and sat down in the lower position.
The maid brewed the tea and sent it respectfully.
Green slowly picked up the teacup, used the tea cover to pluck the floating tea leaves, raised his eyes to see the color of the tea soup, then approached the teacup and sniffed it gently, and finally opened his red lips and tasted the tea soup.
Princess Zhao Xue looked at Green's actions with a faint expression, but she felt a little confused.
She had heard that this Princess Yu was not a lady from a noble family, but was just a commoner. It just happened that she could refine medicine and was appreciated by the late emperor. Although the Tenth Highness always liked her, the Last Emperor did not agree. Later, she shone brilliantly at the medicine refining conference and was given a marriage to the Tenth Highness.
I thought it was just a vulgar woman who could not be on the table, but when I saw her today, it seemed to be very different from the rumors.
Look at the color of the soup, smell the aroma, and taste the taste. At least the posture of tasting tea is really pretty.
Green took a sip of tea, and the tea soup was fragrant and the mouth was fragrant. She sincerely praised: "The green buds in Lianshan are really the best. The leaf green soup is clear, fragrant, mellow, fresh and refreshing, and good tea!"
Princess Zhao Xue smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that the tenth brother and sister are actually a person who understands tea."
Green smiled and said, "My second sister-in-law has been awarded. I should thank my second sister-in-law. I didn't expect that she could still drink such good tea when she came to disturb her. She was so lucky."
Green kept silent and didn't mention why he came, as if he was really here to visit relatives and friends.
Princess Zhao was too lazy to chat with Green. If she didn't take the initiative to talk about things and was talking nonsense, wouldn't she have to sit with her all the time?
So, she couldn't help but say first: "Why did the tenth brother and sister come to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble? I might as well explain clearly."
Green smiled and gently put down the teacup, saying, "How could it be that? It's just that the second sister-in-law is about to enter the harem and her mother is in the world. I'm here to congratulate her on my second sister-in-law."
"Oh? The tenth brother and sister are in love, thank you." Princess Zhao Xue's expression remained unchanged, without a look of joy, but her tone was faint.
Green felt that King Zhao and his wife had an average relationship in the morning, and today this feeling became much stronger.
Could it be that Princess Zhao forgot that during this year's New Year's banquet, King Zhao looked down on Green in public. What else did he say, asking Ye Lin to give Green to him, and the conditions were good.
If it were other women, they would have long regarded Green as a thorn in their eyes, and they would have wanted to get rid of it quickly.
However, Princess Zhao could actually drink tea and chat and laugh with Green here.
This made Green feel very strange. I don’t know whether she and King Zhao really have no feelings for each other or whether she is really broad-minded.
Green congratulated her on becoming the queen, and Princess Zhao also looked calm.
For a moment, Green could not be sure of Princess Zhao's intentions. What Ye Lin told her... Can it continue normally?
"Ahem!" Green coughed gently, and decided to pull out the topic as Ye Lin ordered.
Princess Zhao Xue glanced at Green and said with a smile: "Does the tenth brother and sister feel uncomfortable in their throats? Then drink more tea to moisten the throat."
To be continued...
