At this time, Lu Jin was in the garrison camp in the capital, assigning tasks to the generals standing in front of him.

"I have received news that someone will take advantage of tomorrow's birthday banquet to invade the palace. Zhong Zhe and Zhong Xiao, you two will lead a group of people to ambush in the Changsheng Building in the Imperial Garden and act according to my signal."

"Duan Yuan, Zhu Tongfu, you two will lead a group of archers and ambush on the rooftops and treetops of the Imperial Garden. Once someone attempts an assassination, no matter who it is, they will be shot dead."

"Tang Hai and Deng Pengfei, you two led a group of troops to disperse and hide outside the Imperial Garden. If you find anyone suspicious, capture them immediately."

"The rest of the people will follow me and act according to the opportunity."

The generals were ordered to retreat and arrange their men, while Lu Jin stared at the palace structure map. Although it was the place where he was born and raised, he could not go wrong with his eyes closed, but for some reason his eyelids kept twitching, and he always felt

It looks like something is about to happen.

Could it be that tomorrow's operation will not go smoothly? Should we find a reason to prevent Xiaoman from entering the palace for the banquet?

But preventing Lin Xiaoman from entering the palace will arouse the vigilance of the people behind the scenes, and then alert them to make them change their actions. It seems that it is better to send a few more people to protect Xiaoman.

Lu Jin high-fived twice, and a man in black clothes appeared in front of him, with only his eyes exposed. "Take two shadow guards with you. They will be with Princess Qingping from tonight to protect her, and they will also protect her when she enters the palace tomorrow."

She is safe and sound."

The man in black accepted the order and disappeared in a whoosh just like he came.

Only then did Lu Jin realize that his eyelids were not twitching so much. It seemed that someone really wanted to do harm to Xiao Man, and he didn't know if the three shadow guards were enough. I hope Xiao Man is smart and will not mess up when things happen.

Huh, don't let him catch who it is, or else your life will be worse than death!

Early in the morning, the sister and brother were sitting at the table waiting for breakfast. They took the porridge bowl handed by the maid and felt that something seemed to be stuck to the bottom of the bowl. When the maid had left, Lin Xiaoman took out the sticky thing from the bottom of the bowl.

What I saw was a note with four words written on it: There has been a change in the palace!

Lin Xiaoman shook his hand and half of the porridge in the bowl spilled out. He quickly balled up the note and crushed it into fine pieces with his fingers. Then while eating breakfast, he thought about whether he could find a reason not to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, before he expected it, the people brought by Nanny Jin to take the siblings into the palace came in. When Lin Xiaoman took a look, was he afraid that they would find reasons not to enter the palace?

However, I was strong and could protect myself, so I entered the palace as soon as possible. Don’t let anything happen to this little kid like Erhu. So he winked at Lin Erhu and pointed at his stomach to let him pretend to have a stomachache.<

/p>

Lin Erhu didn't know why, and looked at his sister in confusion, as if her face was cramped.

Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to say: "Erhu, aren't you having a stomachache? Don't enter the palace today."

Lin Erhu wanted to say that he didn't have a stomachache, but he quickly realized that something was wrong with his sister, so he ran out while holding his stomach and said: "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to the hut."

Aunt Jin just smiled. It didn't matter whether Lin Erhu entered the palace or not. The main person she wanted to pick up was Lin Xiaoman.

After changing into the princess's clothes before entering the palace, and getting on the sedan chair from the palace, Lin Xiaoman asked Aunt Jin: "What did the queen say?"

Aunt Jin leaned against the sedan window and whispered: "The queen asked the princess to follow Miss Xu Panxiaxu to recognize someone today."

"Xu Panxia?" Lin Xiaoman couldn't remember who this person was. How could he be trusted by the queen so much that he would follow her? He must have told Xu Panxia in advance.

Aunt Jin smiled, "Princess, I don't remember. When Miss Xu entered the palace yesterday to pay her respects to the Queen, she even mentioned that her life was saved by the Princess."

Only then did Lin Xiaoman remember that the lady named Xu did know someone, Miss Xu from the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had escaped from Jiyuan County together. Unexpectedly, she was from the Queen's side.

Aunt Jin introduced: "Miss Xu's mother is the Queen's biological sister. The Queen gave birth to several princes, but not a princess, but it hurts Miss Xu very much. Miss Xu has been in the house a while ago.

After recuperating, she went to the palace yesterday and the queen found out that the princess was actually Miss Xu’s savior. The queen also said that she didn’t know that the princess also knew medical skills, so she wanted to thank the princess well."

As she said this, Aunt Jin winked at Lin Xiaoman, and Lin Xiaoman understood that she was asking her to hold Miss Xu's thigh tightly.

Lin Xiaoman chuckled. She didn't know any medical skills. She just took the patient's sample to the hospital to test and prescribe medicine, pretending to take credit from others.

However, it cost her a lot of money to save the people in the city and put on the fireworks show, so she felt no guilt in taking the credit.

While talking, I came to the palace gate. Different from the silence in the past, today there were several sedan chairs and horses coming in front of the palace gate from time to time. In front of the palace gate were all the royal relatives, relatives and ministers who walked in after greeting each other.

and their families.

Lin Xiaoman stood for a while, and sure enough he didn't see Lu Jin or the people he sent. Sure enough, on this occasion, even if he had outstanding political achievements in the past two years, he was not qualified to enter the palace for the banquet.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoman's interest was not so high.

Aunt Jin did not take Lin Xiaoman directly into the palace, but asked her to sit in a sedan chair. It was not until another sedan was brought over there, and Miss Xu was helped out of the sedan by a maid, that Aunt Jin said hello and took her companions with her.

The palace maids greeted her when she left the palace.

After saying a few words, he pointed towards Lin Xiaoman, and Xu Panxia strode towards this direction.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming out of the sedan, he stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Qingping, you miss me so much."

Lin Xiaoman was taken aback by her enthusiasm. When he saw her before, she had always been sick and had no strength to speak. He never expected that Xu Panxia would look like this after she recovered.

After being frightened, Lin Xiaoman also replied: "Well, I miss you too."

Xu Panxia smiled like a child who had stolen candy. He looked around and saw no one else. He asked curiously: "Didn't you come to Beijing with the magistrate of Qingping County? He didn't come with you."

Palace?"

Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "His official position is too low and he is not invited."

Xu Panxia pouted, "Where's the logic? I heard someone say that your Mr. Lu's political achievements are quite impressive. Although he has only been a county magistrate for two years, he should be promoted based on his abilities.

, this time you went to Beijing, you were not rewarded based on your merits?"

Lin Xiaoman thought of the records in unofficial history and Qingping County Chronicles. Lu Jin had been the magistrate of Qingping County all his life, but under his governance, Qingping County finally became a large county comparable to a prefecture, and was even larger than Qingping City in later generations.

Big, but he was still the seventh-grade county magistrate in the end, I don’t know why.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything, Xu Panxia just thought that she was afraid that the walls had ears, and if word spread that she was talking about the government, he also changed the subject and whispered: "When I entered the palace yesterday, I heard someone said that the emperor asked you to do whatever you want in the prince's house.

Choosing, what do you think? Let me tell you, the queen and the concubine are born. The capital is too deep, and it will be burdensome to marry. What's more, they all have a principal concubine. The most you can marry is to be a side concubine.
