69【69】(1/2)

Half a month later, the escape of the proton of Song State was discovered.

From this time, we can also see that Song Jinglan really has no sense of existence in the Dalin Palace. The main reason is that he often stayed in the door and stayed in that small courtyard for a long time. He had no friends in the palace, and no one cared about whether he was safe.

There are still people in the cold palace who deliver three meals a day. Cuizhuju is the place that is truly forgotten and ignored.

The house was found to be empty because a concubine's cat ran in. The eunuch had to knock on the door and asked for the cat. After knocking for a long time, no one answered the door. He thought it was a deliberately teasing inside, so he found a palace servant to break the door. After entering, he found that there was no one inside and there was already dust in the room.

The little eunuch reported the matter back to the concubine. When the concubine greeted her, she told the queen again, and the queen reported the matter to Emperor Lin.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that the proton of Song State had run away secretly.

Emperor Lin was furious when he learned about this and immediately issued an order to pursue him nationwide. He didn't care about this proton, but he cared about his imperial power. The son of Song State dared to run away, and he succeeded in stealing away! He simply despised the imperial power of Dalin and did not take him seriously!

But half a month passed, with Song Jinglan's meticulous arrangements and outstanding light skills, he might have been in the State of Song at this time.

Emperor Lin pursued him for a while and had no news at all, and then handed a letter of guilt to Song State. What status can a prince who was chosen as a proton have? Song State must send people back. He must severely punish him and save his face!

As a result, the State of Song, who had always been trembling with Dalin, straightened his back this time and wrote back that the king was seriously ill and asked the seventh prince to serve the sick in the bed. The seventh prince was filial and had only traveled thousands of miles to return to the country to serve his father and king. Filial piety is the first of all virtues. Your Majesty Dalin advocates filial piety the most in daily life, and he would not be able to do cruel acts of separating his father and son.

Emperor Lin really can't do it...

In the eyes of the world, he is a standard filial son and benevolent king. It is true that Emperor Song is seriously ill, and Song Jinglan is also commended for his father's return to the country to serve the disease. As long as he is still ashamed, famous and famous, without leaving any stain on history, he will not be able to do this and call people back.

The State of Song not only replied to the letter, but also added documents requesting the return of the proton and apologies to Dalin. Even this matter was revealed.

After hearing this, Lin Feilu was secretly surprised.

Xiao Piaoliang has been in Dalin for so many years, and Song State should have given up on him. Unexpectedly, when he returned to China, Song State was willing to reject Emperor Lin’s letter of guilt for him, and he also found so many high-sounding reasons. It can be seen that Xiao Piaoliang’s status has increased instead of decreasing after returning to China. I don’t know how he did it.

But she was relieved to learn that he was safe and sound.

After the prince's wedding, two incidents occurred one after another: the concubine hanged herself and the proton escaped. Somewhere suddenly rumored that the prince's marriage was unlucky and had a collision with the royal fortune. I am afraid that something unhappy will happen in the future.

It seemed to be to confirm this rumor, and then there was another evil incident in the palace where a concubine miscarriage and a eunuch suddenly attacked people.

The concubine who had a miscarriage was only three months pregnant. She just went to visit the imperial garden during the day. When she came back at night, she felt unbearable abdominal pain and had a miscarriage.

The eunuch was even more strange. He had been serving people in the palace before, but suddenly he screamed wildly, and rushed to the palace maid next to him as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, and bit her neck. The palace maid was torn off a piece of flesh, and the eunuch was also beaten to death by the guards.

Everyone in the palace is in danger for a while.

Although the queen ordered the harem not to discuss this matter, the rumors became more and more fierce, and finally came to Emperor Lin's ears. Although he said nothing, he summoned the monk from Huguo Temple to the palace to perform a great ritual, and announced that the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison would recalculate whether there was a mistake in the auspicious day of the prince's wedding.

When Lin Feilu heard this rumor, she knew that it was probably caused by Concubine Ruan. Although the first two things were coincidental, she thought the last two things were artificial no matter how she thought. However, the ancients were superstitious and believed in good fortune and bad luck. They were deliberately spread by those who were interested, and the fake became true.

Over the years, the Ruan clan has not actually gained any actual benefits. Instead, the Si Xiang faction has taken the opportunity to grow stronger. Now he is still married to the prince and tied to a rope. Starting from this marriage and shaking people's hearts is indeed a good way.

Seeing that the queen was much haggard about this matter, the prince and the princess had reduced their appearance time. Concubine Ruan finally felt anger and told the Ruan Nei, who came to the palace to ask for peace, actually brought a letter to Ruan's relatives: "Go back and tell my father that the matter of Jiangnan water conservancy must be taken down by Ting'er. If this matter is done, the achievements and the reputation of the people will increase greatly."

Lin Ting had already started to go to court to discuss politics last year, but he had not made any contributions. Emperor Lin had planned the Jiangnan water conservancy matter for a long time, and all factions wanted to take it into their own hands.

Ruan's personal response and said, "In the past, Liu Yinping was responsible for the water conservancy matters in Jiangnan. This time, I wanted to use his momentum and experience, but I expected that such a thing would happen."

Concubine Ruan sneered: "Mei is really a useless thing. You can't do anything at all, it's okay if you die. Her father doesn't have to pay attention to it anymore."

After chatting for a while, when Ruan's personal retirement, he said, "After the beginning of spring, the marriage of His Highness King Qi should be settled. The Prime Minister means that the conditions of Wu'an Marquis can be agreed first."

Concubine Ruan nodded: "I know what I know."

Wu'an Marquis Wei Honglang was granted the title of marquis for his military merits and escorts. He was in charge of the patrol and the Sixteen Guards of Kyoto. His legitimate son also held important positions in Dali Temple, and his prestige was second only to General Xi in the army. However, the Xi family has been stationed on the frontier for many years and rarely returns to Beijing. On the contrary, Wu'an Marquis had more say in the garrison army in the capital.

Others got a daughter in middle age, named Wei Luochun, and regarded it as the pearl in their hands. Concubine Ruan took a fancy to this woman as Lin Ting's wife. But Wu'an Hou was not a fool. He knew what the Ruan family meant and made two requests. One was that he would not use any military forces to help him before the prince completely fell. The other was that after marriage, Lin Ting first wrote a letter of separation. Once something happened to the Ruan family, Wei Luochun must pick it out immediately and not be implicated.

These two requests made Concubine Ruan very angry, so she did not respond to the marriage. But now the court cannot find a more suitable force to win over the enemy than the Marquis of Wu'an. Since Ruan Xiang said that, Concubine Ruan was not ready to drag him down, and planned to mention this matter to Emperor Lin in a while.

However, in order to avoid Emperor Lin’s suspicion, this matter cannot be mentioned directly, but should be paved with the love between the two children.

Therefore, Concubine Ruan had already sent a letter to Lin Ting, asking him to attend the snow poem banquet held next month, and then Wu'an Hou would arrange for Wei Luochun to "meet" him.

Although Lin Ting was named King of Qi, he was known as the "Jade King" in the capital. It can be seen that he is like jade, a jade pot in the ice valley. Because of his gentle temperament and talent, he has always been loved by noble girls in the capital. As long as he is willing, it is not difficult to impress Wei Luochun.

The snow poem banquet is a elegant poetry party held by the nobles of high schools in Beijing in the past two years. Every winter, when snow falls, enjoy the snow and drink wine to write poems. Almost all young masters and noble girls in Beijing will participate. After a while, they become a symbol of their status. If anyone is not invited, it can be seen that they are declining.

Moreover, every year, excellent works are leaked, but they have become a way for talented men and women to become famous in Shengjing, so every year, people try every means to get involved in the poetry fair.

Lin Feilu also visited once in the early years. She didn't know how to write poetry, so she went to watch the fun, eat something, and appreciate the handsome guys and beauties. She thought it was just that, so she didn't have the interest to go there later.

She took advantage of the time when Tianqing left the palace to visit Lin Ting today, she happened to meet someone from Concubine Ruan's palace who came out of the mansion. The palace servant was not surprised to see her, and then left after saluting. She walked into the mansion and saw Lin Ting wearing a white fur and standing under the plum tree distracted.

Lin Feilu happily called him: "Brother! I'm here!"

He slowly turned his head, half of his face hidden under the white fur collar, and his eyes slowly focused when they fell on her. His thin lips, which were not very blood-colored, also took a gentle curve and said softly: "The deer is here."

Lin Feilu ran to him and looked at him a few times, "Brother, why are you thinner again? Your chin is sharp!" She rubbed her face: "It's smaller than mine!"

Lin Ting smiled and handed her the hand stove in her hand: "Is it cold? Warm your hands."

Since Lin Feilu practiced martial arts, her physical fitness has improved a lot and she is no longer afraid of the cold. In winter, her hands and feet are warm, and she stretched out her red palms to show him: "It's not cold, it's still hot."

She turned around and pointed to the mansion, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Brother, was he from the palace just now? What was he here to do?"

Lin Ting did not hide it from her: "It was sent by her mother and reminded me to attend the snow poem banquet that will not be later."

Lin Feilu felt strange: "As the eldest brother, there is no need to go to that kind of poetry meeting, right?"

Lin Ting smiled and said nothing, looked at the small basket hanging on her arms, and asked in a warm voice: "What's this?"

Lin Feilu's expression suddenly became vivid, and she held the basket like a treasure and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Put it open and take a look!"

A layer of black cloth was covered with a layer of black cloth. Lin Ting glanced at her and reached out to slowly lift the black cloth.

In the basket were three snow-white little white rabbits, gathered together, only as big as a palm, like three snow balls, which were so cute.

She said happily in Lin Ting's stunned expression: "The little rabbit I raised has given birth to a baby! Give it to the eldest brother!"

Lin Ting looked at the three little white rabbits without movement for a long time, as if he was fascinated by the sight, and even his expression was stunned. Lin Feilu reached out and shook her hand in front of him: "Brother of the Great Emperor?"

He reacted immediately, pursed his lips and smiled, and slowly raised his palm to touch the rabbit. Although the three small breasts were afraid of being alive, they were not afraid of him at all, and they rushed to rub against the palm of his hand.

Lin Ting's eyes, which were a little dull before, finally had a soft and radiant look.

It’s a pity that he touched it for a while and said to Lin Feilu: “Take it back, I can’t take care of them.”

Lin Feilu refused: "No one is better at raising rabbits than you! There are three more in my palace. If there are too many, it will not be taken good care of. Brother Huang said that it will help me raise it?"

Lin Ting moved his lips and wanted to say something. Lin Feilu pouted and said, "I used to help the eldest brother raise rabbits, but now it's the eldest brother's turn to help me, so I don't want to do it, hum!"

He shook his head helplessly and smiled, as if he had no choice but to deal with her, and finally took the basket: "Okay, I'll keep it."

Lin Feilu was satisfied and immediately pulled him to start making a nest for the rabbit. The two of them were busy all afternoon and made a huge and comfortable nest for the three small breasts in Linting's courtyard.

Lin Feilu rolled up her sleeves and said happily: "Brother, Long Er will be a father soon. I will send you two puppies."

Lin Ting looked at the little breasts moving slowly in the nest, chuckled and nodded: "Okay."

As the evening approached, Lin Feilu returned to the palace. In the Qi Palace, she kept smiling happily until she left the mansion and sat in the carriage. She finally showed a hint of dull worry on her face.

Lin Ting seems to be in a bad state.

After so many years, she could no longer guess what he was thinking, but she could feel his increasingly tired and dim gaze.

He lived alone in the huge mansion outside the palace, and there was no one to talk except for servants serving him. He refused to take a concubine to him before, as if he had no preference and didn't even raise small animals.

Lin Feilu was really worried and sad.

After returning to the palace, Songyu reported that the Crown Princess had sent someone to come and asked the fifth princess to go to the East Palace to talk to her if nothing happened.

Because of that rumor, Si Miaoran was cautious in the palace. In addition to routine greetings, she usually locked herself in the East Palace to avoid another change. This happened just after she entered the palace, and the other party was making a fuss about her marriage, so she might not feel good.

Lin Feilu sighed again and again.

When will the battle between the two sects of the eldest son be the end?

Concubine Ruan caused a great loss to the prince this time, which affected the prince's reputation, so the prince's faction naturally would not sit idly by.

The prince's party's counterattack came quickly and ruthlessly.

One morning when Lin Feilu woke up, he heard about the collapse of the Royal Ancestral Hall.

The Royal Ancestral Hall was built on Foguang Mountain outside the palace, and the inside was worshipped by the ancestors and saints of Dalin. Last year, the officials who were guarding the ancestral hall reported that the roof of the hall was leaking and the statues of the saints were a little mottled.

This ancestral temple has been in some years and is being repaired every year. Emperor Lin thought about it and directly allocated a large sum of money from the treasury to the Ministry of Works to rebuild the ancestral hall on Foguang Mountain. The old ancestral temple before was denied.

The Ministry of Works immediately started construction and built the ancestral temple before the New Year. At that time, Emperor Lin brought the royal children to worship ancestors and incense.

Unexpectedly, how long has the newly built ancestral temple collapsed.

Lin Feilu was shocked after hearing this, let alone Emperor Lin. The seriousness of this matter is no less than hearing that the enemy is approaching.

The ancestral hall suddenly collapsed at night, smashing all five officials who guarded the ancestral hall and more than a dozen palace ladies who served them to death. Emperor Lin received the news that it was late at night and was frightened. At first, he thought it was his ancestors who were angry, so he summoned important officials in the court and the people from the Imperial Heaven Supervision to discuss at night.

After searching, it was found that the Minister of Works, who was responsible for repairing the ancestral hall, embezzled silver money and used inferior wood, which led to the collapse of the ancestral hall.

Emperor Lin was furious and immediately ordered the house to be raided. More than 30 people from the Minister of Works were imprisoned. All officials suspected of this matter were dismissed from office and imprisoned. The mastermind was beheaded, his children were assassinated and exiled, and his wife and daughter were demoted to slaves.

The Minister of Works is the firm Ruan Xiang School. Not only that, he is also a favorite student of Ruan Xiang. The two families have a marriage. Therefore, there are also children of the Ruan family among the house searches.

This disaster, coupled with the people who were killed by the collapse of the ancestral temple, more than twenty people died.

Lin Feilu didn't know whether the ancestral temple was really overwhelmed by inferior materials, or whether the people of the prince's faction secretly made trouble. At this point, the truth is no longer important.

Ruan Xiang's sect was severely damaged, and even was angrily scolded by Emperor Lin in the morning court, which was accused of being unwilling to be a stolen person, which was the root of cholera.

Concubine Ruan asked for a meeting several times, but was rejected by Emperor Lin.
