Lin Zhixiu was in the prison with no information and knew nothing.
Outside, those who were good friends with Lin Zhixiu were all anxious, asking for information and asking people to give gifts.
They also sent things to the prison every day. Even though they knew they couldn't get in, they still sent people to wait outside for a long time.
Especially An Ning, who was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep. After discussing with Wu Dong, he went directly to Prince Qing's Mansion to find Prince Qing.
Prince Qing was getting older, and after so many years of hard work, his health was not very good some time ago. He was groggy and unable to do anything, so he was placed in the backyard to recuperate.
In the mansion, the princess stood up and immediately reached out to the study room in front of her, making a lot of noise.
When An Ning came, she would definitely come out. Seeing An Ning's uneasy look, the bad temper that had been in her for many years finally came out. She was not allowed to see Prince Qing, but she calmly accepted the benefits that An Ning had given her.
After collecting it, he still ridiculed, threatened and threatened An Ning.
An Ning was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he had to come out in despair and squat on the street to worry.
Prince An was not in the capital. After Fang Qunqun learned the news, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message to her husband, asking him to find a way to save Lin Zhixiu. Then, he rolled his eyes and thought for a long time. After all, he was worried and wanted to send Fang Hao to Tianlao. "
Go protect Lin Zhixiu!"
Fang Hao was a little embarrassed, "My dear, the Tianlao is different from ordinary places. It is part of the palace. If my subordinates go there and cause trouble, I am afraid it will bring trouble to the prince."
"Just don't let anything happen to you?! I won't let you snatch her out, so you can take care of her secretly. I'm thinking about this matter. I'm not afraid of what the emperor will do to her, but I'm afraid of others doing evil things. She's pregnant now.
The body is not a joke. One mistake can lead to her life being thrown in. When King Cheng comes back, he can rescue her, but it will be useless!"
Fang Qunqun is still a bit clever.
Fang Hao had no choice but to agree.
——After Lin Ji returned home, he told the old man about the emperor's attitude. "The emperor probably regretted it a little, but he didn't let her out now. So, he probably wanted to wait for the prince to come back. Don't worry! It's not serious.
!”
Mrs. Lin nodded: "I hope..." The older you get, the worse your endurance becomes.
——On the other hand, Lin Zhifang, who was in the Yan family, had forgotten about her worries about having a daughter when someone gave birth to a son.
Lin Zhixiu, have you come this far?
Someone must be plotting against her, probably inseparable from Princess Heqing, haha...
Let's just say that there is an essential difference between the main concubine and the side concubine. If someone wants to plot against you, they will succeed.
I keep urging you to be obedient to the princess, but you just don’t listen? You’re going to suffer a big loss, right?
She had a clear attitude and a smile in her eyes. She did not mention Lin Zhixiu's imprisonment at home, just as if it had never happened.
Mrs. Shen saw this and felt unhappy.
That's your cousin. She was pregnant and sent to the prison. You didn't worry at all, and you didn't ask your husband to find a solution. You looked so happy.
Did you have a grudge against her before?
Even if there is some contradiction, what time is it now!?
Lin Zhixiu is not good, what good is it with you?
One day, I finally couldn't help it and asked Shen Jing, "Is there any conflict between your wife and Concubine Lin? Something happened to her sister, and she is still so relaxed and happy. This is not something a family like ours would like!"
It is relatively rare for Mrs. Shen to speak like this.
Shen Jing listened with a solemn expression. In fact, he also discovered it, but he didn't think much about it.
Now that his mother was asking about it, he thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of any conflicts. She is..."
Shen Jing couldn't say anything, but he couldn't say anything bad about his wife.
But sometimes, it feels like there is a thorn in the flesh. It's not visible on the surface, and it doesn't hurt, but it just feels a little awkward.
Mrs. Shen sighed, "Come on, it's okay for her to be like this, just don't do other stupid things. After all, no one is perfect!"
——Lin Zhixiu, who is in Tianlao, has been adjusting for some time and is in better condition.
Lord Yuan, the minister of Dali Temple, came to ask questions in person.
Lin Zhixiu briefly told him about Aunt Huang and Grandma Huang, and said that she had testimony and evidence in her hand, but it was kept by her prince! She could only submit it to him when the prince came back.
Master Yuan brought a scribe to write down what Lin Zhixiu said and asked her to sign it.
Lin Zhixiu looked at what the scribe wrote... From the beginning to the end, he was quietly confusing right and wrong, avoiding the important and taking the easy, diverting attention, sharing, or even increasing his own responsibilities.
They were all a little speechless. Am I even so poor that you can’t tell? So he smiled and said: “I don’t know if I expressed it wrong, or if this clerk’s... thinking is strange. I don’t even know. I told Mr. Yuan so! I can't sign something like this." She gently threw the "confession" on the table.
Mr. Yuan said: "Where the writing is not clear, the empress can point it out."
"I think Master Yuan's attitude is not clear! I have not been in the palace for a long time, but I have never heard the prince mention you. I don't know what the relationship between the two parties is. Or what Master Yuan has planned... However, this is not important. We don’t need to say more. Your Excellency wants me to sign and approve this, then... you might as well just torture me?! While I’m unconscious, force my fingerprints... Haha, just tell the emperor, Concubine Lin is illiterate and cannot sign, but she has pressed her fingerprints to plead guilty!"
It was hard to say this, but she still looked smiling and spoke slowly.
Mr. Yuan's heart was pounding and his face was hot, but because of his dark skin, he could not show any redness. "Your Majesty, this is my duty. I am not here to embarrass my concubine!"
"Responsibility!" Lin Zhixiu plucked the pieces of paper casually, "I really hope you won't sing such a high tone! Since you have a heart, you might as well use the means. It's already this time, and you still look around. The left and right...make me look down on you!"
"..." Mr. Yuan was stunned for a while, flicked his sleeves, and left.
When he arrived in front of the emperor, he directly complained to Lin Zhixiu.
It's nothing more than ignoring him, sarcastically sarcastic, refusing to explain, and threatening him based on his identity and physical condition...
The emperor snorted after hearing this, knowing that she was tricky!
"The concubine asked me to punish her directly. When I heard this, I couldn't laugh or cry..." Mr. Yuan continued to complain.
Then move! The emperor thought angrily.
But in the end, he opened his mouth and said: "You... go and do your work first!"
Lord Yuan bowed and came out, thought for a while, and sent someone to deliver the letter.
——After the emperor finished the matter at hand, he called Lin Ji over.
Lin Ji was more cautious, "Your Majesty, the ins and outs of the death of my second brother are clear. But the death of my younger brother and sister... I am not clear about it. At that time, the news reached the capital, and I rushed there quickly, and it was already coming to an end. At that time... Aunt Huang... the concubine, the housekeeper, and Mr. Liu all said that Aunt Huang entered the nunnery in sadness. I believed it. Now it seems that if the death of my siblings is related to Aunt Huang, It’s not entirely impossible.”
Judging from Lin Zhixiu's writings in the later period, the second brother and sister still have a lot of property in their hands. If she were alive, it is hard to say how much Lin Feng would have received.
But if the second sibling dies, Aunt Huang will be the only elder there, and both children are underage, so she can naturally take charge of the housework.
However, I'm afraid she didn't expect that twelve-year-old Lin Zhixiu would have such a decision to strike first.
Oh, now it seems that they are all better than me!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's just that when I went there, I didn't find anything unusual! The concubine didn't tell me about this either!"
The emperor pointed at him and shouted: "Didn't I tell you?! It's that girl Houerjing! She doesn't believe you at all! She doesn't want to go back to Beijing with you! She's just afraid that the property left by her mother will be swallowed up by your uncle!"
Lin Ji didn't know what the emperor wanted to express, so he just grinned: "Your Majesty, although I am not good at all, I am not that bad! Besides, my second brother treats the family well... How could I be so mean to someone who has no father or mother?"
Where is my niece? She is overthinking it!"
"Huh! Are you thinking too much?! She is the one who is bad, so she is on guard against everyone!" The emperor vented his malice in front of Lin Ji without any scruples.
He stood up, knocked on the table and said: "At that time, she was only twelve years old, but she was so evil! She even plotted against you, the uncle! And...she was so courageous! Even her mother's life was so dangerous.
I dare to deceive you!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be so angry!" Lin Ji saw that the Emperor was so excited and was frightened. He quickly went over to support him and pushed him down hard. "It's been so many years, please don't be angry!"
That is, he dared to do this to the emperor.
"I'm telling you Lin Ji, she must have killed that Aunt Huang! She was only twelve years old! This cruel girl! Do you think I can rest assured if she is by my son's side!?"
Lin Ji said: "Long live my lord, but she is already pregnant, and that is your grandson..."
"I'm so angry!" The emperor slapped the table again. He finally knew what a rat-defying weapon was!
"Long live my lord, she has made decisions at a young age, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Your Highness, Prince Cheng, has a pure heart. With her by his side, he cannot suffer any loss."
"My son, who can make him suffer?"
"Yes, yes! What I mean is... Well, if she doesn't have children, if you divorce her back to the Lin family, I will never intercede for her. I will just feed her with good food and drink for the rest of her life. Alas, if the second brother Chen
She doesn’t have to make such calculations while she is alive, it’s so pitiful! She is the only direct descendant of the second brother Chen..."
When the emperor heard this, he also felt a little soft, "This seventh old man has no money and salt! He and Heqing have no way of living. They don't give her any dignity! This is the marriage given by me! Where can I tell you, old man
What Qihe Lin Zhixiu did wasn’t right either!”
"Your Majesty, you are right! It is really unreasonable for me to go back and try to persuade the Concubine. However, Your Majesty, no matter what, the Concubine is pregnant. Look at her delicate appearance.
I have never suffered any hardship since I was a child, and I have never been wronged! Now that I am in the heavenly prison... If His Highness King Cheng finds out, it will be really..." Even if you are his father, he will have to go through a lot of trouble.
"So what if he knows? His debt hasn't been settled yet! His problems are bigger!" The emperor slapped the table again.
"It is right for you to settle accounts with His Highness King Cheng! I am in charge of my son, and the emperor is in charge of his ministers! It is only right! But... that girl Zhixiu... oh, just say... oh, after being imprisoned for these few days, she knows how powerful she is.
, that’s it, right? Don’t let anything really happen!”
The emperor was silent.
Lin Ji added, "She is in good condition. It's okay to stay for two more days. Otherwise, we should wait until His Highness King Cheng and the others have news?"
"My good son has been led astray by your niece!" the emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Cheng is not so obedient, right? I think it was His Highness who ran away to the northwest by himself at the beginning. At that time, we, the monarch and his ministers, were frightened and looked everywhere! We thought he ran out and asked the photographer
It's gone!" Lin recalled the past and chuckled.
"Get out!" The emperor hit Lin Ji with a memorial.
Lin Ji picked up the memorial with a smile, handed it to Big Fat Chen, and walked away quickly.
The emperor shook his head and sighed, "Come on, let her go back in two days! When that bastard comes back, we can settle the accounts with him."
Big Fat Chen nodded quickly.
"What's the matter with such an anticlimactic result?" The emperor was very troubled.
