Married Thrice to Salted Fish - Chapter 95

Xi Rong stayed in Xiao Jun’s palace after being injured, and the two of them were almost inseparable. Lin Qingyu heard Xiao Songzi say that Xiao Jie would stay in front of the sick bed whenever he had time, and would even feed Xirong and drink medicine himself. Xiao Jie has always been the one who has been spoiled. He doesn’t take care of others very much. He is clumsy when giving medicine to Xi Rong. He spilled the medicine on a bed, but Xi Rong was very helpful.

“This is the emperor and the eunuch,” Komatsuko said in surprise, “the brothers did not kiss them.”

Xi Rong’s bitter trick really worked. Except for him, Xiao Jie could no longer see anyone else. As soon as the early morning ended, Xiao Jie rushed to the bedroom in a hurry—he wanted to go back to accompany Xi Rong to change his dressing.

Xiao Jie got on the sedan chair and complained to Xiao Xuanzi: “What is the difference between whether I come to the early court or not? I don’t understand this. Anyway, there is a queen who is in charge of politics, and Lin…” Xiao Jie bit him when he was halfway through. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, “There is still that person sitting in the court. They don’t need me, why do they keep me in the Zichen Hall to listen to politics? With this time, I might as well accompany A Rong.”

Xiao Xuanzi said: “The emperor, Father Xi said, you are the emperor of the dynasty, the ninth-five-sovereign. Only you can sit on the dragon chair of the Zichen Hall. Sitting on the top, you are telling the civil and military officials, Da Yu The world belongs to your Xiao family.”

“Dayu originally belonged to the Xiao family.” Xiao Jie said, “All officials know that I don’t need to tell them.”

Xiao Xuanzi said in a low voice: “But I heard that some people think that half of Dayu’s surname is Wen and the other half is Lin.”

Xiao Jie was taken aback: “Wen…Lin?”

This warm, naturally refers to the Queen Mother Wen. After the Queen Mother Wen dropped the curtain to listen to politics, Wen Guogong returned to the cabinet, and many of the Wen family’s in-laws were reused. One of them was Li Ling. Xiao Jie had some impressions. This person was blessed and bright, and he was already a fourth-rank military assistant at a young age. Li Chan said a lot of things in the court this morning, as if he was asking the Ministry of Household for military pay in the northwest. As for this Lin…

As Xiao Jie was thinking, the sedan chair stopped suddenly. He looked forward, his face sank.

In this forest, there is anyone besides Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu and Li Ling ran into Xiao Jie on the way to the Ministry of War, and they bowed down and saluted according to the rules.

No matter how stupid Xiao Jie was, he knew how his throne came. Before Xi Rong was “assassinated,” he was very polite to Lin Qingyu, never let Lin Qingyu give such a gift, and because the parents were so beautiful and wanted to take the initiative to get close. But now, as long as he saw Lin Qingyu, he would remember the appearance of Xi Rong dying in a pool of blood.

In his eyes, Lin Qingyu was still that Lin Qingyu, with a cold temperament, and a deceptive contrast with the bright and incomprehensible appearance, but he was shocked to see him—it was such a great beauty that almost killed A Rong.

He will no longer admire a person who is critical of A Rong. He must protect A Rong, and he won’t let others hurt him again.

Lin Qingyu and Li Chan knelt on the ground, and had not heard the word “flat body” for a long time. Lin Qingyu raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jie. Meeting his gaze, Xiao Jie shrank subconsciously, with fear and alertness in his eyes. It wasn’t until Xiao Xuanzi spoke to remind him that Xiao Jie said, “Get up, get up.”

Lin Qingyu said, “The emperor has a bad face, is there something on my mind?”

Xiao Yan tried his best to keep a straight face, and said with a stern expression: “It’s my business, it’s not my turn to ask Doctor Lin-Xiao Xuanzi, go back to the palace.”

Li Yun was one of Lin Qingyu and the Queen Mother’s confidant in the previous dynasty. Seeing the emperor’s attitude towards Lin Qingyu, he couldn’t help but worry: “Is the doctor Lin really not wanting to explain to the emperor. Even if the emperor ignores the political affairs, he is the emperor after all.” It’s better to have a sacred heart than not to have a sacred heart.”

Lin Qingyu said: “The explanation is useless. Stupid people will only believe what they are willing to believe. Besides, since Xi Rong wants to count the assassination on the head of Tianjiying, he must be sure that Tianjiying will not demolish his station. If I am not wrong, I guessed it. During the period when Xi Rong was in power, in the name of the Son of Heaven, he won the hearts of many people.”

In the eyes of some people, the queen mother who listened to politics was always a relative, let alone an imperial doctor. The same is true for Cui Lian, and the same is true for the old princes surnamed Xiao. They are loyal to the Xiao family, preferring to obey a eunuch’s words, rather than seeing the dictatorship of their relatives.

Li Yun said in surprise: “But isn’t the token of Tianjiying in your hands?”

“Tianjiying is the claw of the emperor. For generations, I have only served the person on the dragon chair. My token is nothing compared to the emperor.” Lin Qingyu groaned, “I’m thinking, I won’t use Xirong’s bitter tricks sooner or later. , Why is it used at this time.”

Li Ling thought for a while and said, “Could it be because of the northwest? General Gu is trying to regain Yongliang. Yongliang is the gateway to the north of Dayu. As long as we take it down, the Northwest problem will be half solved. “

Lin Qingyu said: “After Xi Rong is injured, he must be quiet and unable to intervene with the government. Why does he want to delegate power at this juncture?”

“Perhaps, he wants us to relax our vigilance?” Li Yun suddenly realized, his expression changed slightly, “Doctor Lin meant that he is going to be a big one?”

“Before the wind and rain, there will always be calm and calm times.” Lin Qingyu said coldly, “As long as he still has some sense of reason, he shouldn’t look for death at this time, so that Xixia can take advantage of it.”

“He is an eunuch.” Li Chan was even more worried. “Since ancient times, there have been a few powerful eunuchs who really care about Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li people? As long as he can achieve his goals, he can’t do anything.”

Lin Qingyu suppressed the turbulent malice, and slowly sighed, “But we are not him. At this time, we should also focus on the northwest-where is the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River.”

Li Chan said: “Counting days, it should have been sent to Yongliang.”

Lin Qingyu stayed in the Ministry of War until late at night. He wanted to stay in the palace for one night, but temporarily changed his mind. The general’s carriage was waiting at the gate of the palace. Lin Qingyu put away the snow-covering umbrella and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman: “Don’t look back at the mansion, go to Lin Mansion.”

The eldest son went home late at night, and without telling him in advance, Lin’s father and Lin’s mother thought that something had happened. Lin Qingyu told them that nothing happened yet.

Lin Rushan frowned, “For the time being? You mean, something might happen?”

“This is just my guess and intuition. Just in case, I asked my father to take a leave of absence from the Taiyuan Hospital and take my mother and Qinghe away from Beijing to avoid the wind.” Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, “I remember, grandmother seventy The birthday will be next month. You can go to Jinzhou and wish her birthday by the way.”

Mother Lin said concerned: “We are gone, what about you?”

“Of course I want to stay.”

“But…”

“Madam, don’t ask, Qingyu has his plans.” Lin Rushan said flatly, “Excuse me, please go and pack up.”

Mother Lin was hesitant to speak, but couldn’t hide her worry: “Qingyu, you have to take good care of yourself.”

Lin Qingyu smiled at her soothingly: “I will.”

Lin Rushan had nothing to warn the eldest son, only said: “Be careful in everything.”

The next day, Lin Rushan took his wife and children and left the capital for visiting relatives. In the next few days, Lin Qingyu sat in the government as usual, occasionally visited Xiao Li, and took time to show Xiao Songzi, who was unwell-because Xiao Songzi said too much on weekdays and hurt his throat, just shut up for a few days. get well.

The fifteenth of each month was the day that Gu Fuzhou looked forward to most. Dayu officials only had this day off in January. Lin Qingyu stole the floating life for half a day, feeding the little Gu worms and drinking snake blood in the pharmacy. Yuan Yin came in and said, “Madam, someone sent a letter.”

Lin Qingyu asked: “Who?”

“I don’t know, that person left as soon as he put down the letter.” Yuan Yin said, “I heard the servant at the door said that he was a man with a hood.”

Lin Qingyu stared at the empty envelope, feeling a little disturbed. Yuan Yin stood aside, watched him open the letter, only glanced at the whole person and got cold.

Yuan Yin probed carefully: “Madam…?”

Lin Qingyu settled the little Gu worm unhurriedly, and said: “Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace.”

Hualu hurriedly said: “I will change your clothes.” If you want to enter the palace, you have to change official clothes.

Lin Qingyu said: “No need.”

Lin Qingyu put on a fox fur and left the house. He told Yuan Yin: “Find the person who delivered the letter.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Yuan Yin asked, “what happens after I find it?”

Lin Qingyu got into the carriage without looking back, “Kill.”

Lin Qingyu, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked all the way to the Palace of Qinzheng, and happened to meet Li Chu coming out of the hall.

“Doctor Lin!” Li Chan said anxiously, “I’m going to find you. The big thing is not good, the batch of grain and grass sent to Yongliang…”

Lin Qingyu said coldly: “I was robbed.”

Li Chan was taken aback: “You already know? Fortunately, the generals in transporting grain are very skilled, desperately protecting 20% ​​of the grain and grass, but only enough for the northwest army to support for a few days.”

“Go in.” Lin Qingyu said, “The emperor will tell us what’s going on.”

In the Palace of Qinzheng, Xiao Jie, Prime Minister Cui Lian, and Hou Shangshu Nan’an Hou were all present. Xi Rong is also there, his injury has obviously not been healed, and his male and female face has a sick look, but he still looks calm and calm.

Lin Qingyu only glanced at him, then turned her gaze to Xiao Jie: “The emperor, don’t you explain?”

Xiao Jie’s pale face turned pale: “I, I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Really. But someone told the minister that the emperor had already’discussed’ with Xixia, and the tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass were your gift for them to discuss peace.”

Xiao Jie’s face was blank: “I don’t have one! I just…”

Xi Rong cut off Xiao Jun’s words: “Who told Madam Lin? Madam Lin, beware of his countermeasures.”

Lin Qingyu only found it ridiculous: “Do you still need others to fight back between you and me.”

Xi Rong seemed to have expected today, and said indifferently: “I did have a relationship with Xixia Laiji. I pretended to agree to negotiate with them, just to lead them into the game and set up an ambush. There are still Xixia Laiji’s in my house. Letters, as well as those squatting ambushes, can testify.”

Xiao Jie nodded quickly: “I can also testify! A Rong did this, and I agreed to it. I also came up with this strategy. I don’t know why they were not fooled…”

Listening to Xiao Jie stammering over what happened, Lin Qingyu’s eyebrows and eyes were full of hostility: “The small path of the sheep intestines is easy to ambush. You can think of why the Xixia Army Master can’t think of it? How can a person with normal brains use such a food path to transport food. .You have ruled out a wrong food path for him, he will naturally look for clues to go to the opposite place. The Xixia Army Division defeated Zhao Mingwei, and within a year, he almost won half of the northwest of Dayu, which even Xu Junyuan would call it. ‘Ghost handsome’. He knows better than anyone where is suitable for storing food and what is suitable for transporting food. He even knows the situation in the capital clearly. Where is your confidence to play with him and think that this kind of trick Can you hide it from him?”

Xiao Jie feels guilty and doesn’t know what to do: “I didn’t mean it, I really just want to help…”

Lin Qingyu chuckled softly: “It’s up to you?”

Nan’anhou’s face changed. Cui Lian said angrily: “Laughter! Lin Qingyu, don’t forget who you are! You are talking to the emperor!”

Lin Qingyu didn’t even look at Cui Lian, feeling that it was a waste of time. He asked Xi Rong: “The emperor can’t see it, can’t you see it either?”

There was no flaw in Xi Rong’s face: “I really didn’t expect that the Xixia Army Master was able to calculate it so well.”

“You don’t know? Good.” Lin Qingyu said calmly, “Come here.”

Two imperial guards walked in: “The emperor, Doctor Lin.”

“Take Xi Rong down—stick to death.”

After the silence, Xiao Jie was the first to react. “No! I won’t let you hurt A Rong anymore!” He jumped up and stood in front of Xi Rong, “We and I are the emperor, why do you give orders in front of me!”

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: “With him collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he deceives the Sacred Heart.”

Xi Rong covered the wound under her abdomen and coughed lowly and said, “I said. I have evidence, I have no collaborating with enemies, and no traitorousness.”

Cui Lian also said, “Doctor Lin said that Gong Gong was traitorous, but what evidence is there?”

Lin Qingyu smiled suddenly: “Did you misunderstand something? I killed him, why do you need evidence.”

A crack finally appeared on Xi Rong’s calm face all the year round: “You…”

“Even if you are making peace sincerely, what about it?” Lin Qingyu looked at Xi Rong, as if looking at a bereaved dog, “I can’t kill it.”
