Chapter 561： drudgery

Chapter 561 Hard work

Chu Nanzhi was dragged obediently by Lin Jinxiao to walk in, but in her mind, she recalled what Xiaobailian said just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

The three uncles were supported by Jingling’s old ministers. Concubine Yue Gui was supported by the Tang family. She was close to Dongjin Wang Lin Jinmu before, and they were all in the same camp. Why is Lin Tingkai and Concubine Yue openly getting so close now?

Almost every time we meet, we can meet the two of them together, as if they are still very close.

Could it be that Yue Guifei chose to join Lin Tingkai?

No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong.

Concubine Yue Guifei is about the same age as herself. She wants to find a way out for herself. It is reasonable to adopt a stepchild. Even if she gets closer to Lin Jinmu, it is also understandable. After all, Lin Jinmu is from the Qinghe family. Tang Yao and the queen mother would not care too much about openly opposing King Qinghe.

Because they rely on Concubine Yue to check and balance the faction of the Queen and the Empress Dowager.

But it is different to share the same hatred with the Southern Capital King Lin Tingkai. This not only offends King Qinghe, but also makes the Empress Dowager afraid of her.

What benefits can she get from Nandu Wang?

The king of Nandu is now in his forties, and he wants to fight for the throne. The best protection he can give Concubine Yue is to continue to make her a concubine or even a queen after she is crowned a great treasure.

I'm afraid that's the only way Concubine Yue is willing to be driven by him.

Otherwise, even being committed to the queen mother's family is better than helping the Nandu king.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Murong Courtyard, Chu Nanzhi suddenly stopped, looked at Lin Jinxiao, and asked a little confused: "Lin Dalang, don't you think that the relationship between King Dongjin and Concubine Yue is very different from what happened to King Dongjin to now?" Does it seem a little confusing?"

"Why do you feel that way?"

Lin Jinxiao glanced at her in a daze, and asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Dongjin Wang flirted with Concubine Yue Gui?"

Chu Nanzhi shook her head disdainfully: "I think that Concubine Yue is the only one who flirts with others all day long, and I think she was subservient to her before Dongjinwang, it doesn't seem like she dared to do such a thing. People who wait for things to come."

After a pause, she continued suspiciously: "Furthermore, even if King Dongjin poisoned the Da Chen family and was known by Concubine Yue, judging from the relationship between the two, Concubine Yue will definitely not be killed because of a trivial matter." The old lady ruined her confidant, and the king of Dongjin didn't have to kill Concubine Yue to silence her because of this matter. You must know that if he killed Da Chen, even if he returned to the palace, he would only be punished, but if he wanted to move Concubine Yue, it would be a different matter. "

"I have always found this matter very strange."

Lin Jinxiao finally articulated the question that has troubled him for a long time: "The third uncle has always been jealous of Concubine Yue and the Tang family, since he met King Dongjin and wanted to kill Concubine Yue, he just took this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Yue That's right, why did he help Concubine Yue kill Lin Jinmu instead?

And I heard that the guards of the two kings died that day, and the people around Concubine Yue were unharmed, which shows that Concubine Yue is capable of protecting herself, and Lin Jinmu has no chance to silence her. "

"That's true. Judging from the situation at the time, Concubine Yue Gui was not at the point of helplessness, but Uncle Sanhuang went all out and took the risk to kill King Dongjin. I think killing King Dongjin More like silence."

Chu Nanzhi squinted his eyes and guessed: "Otherwise, the combined guards of both sides may completely restrain King Dongjin. This manslaughter always makes people feel a little unreasonable."

"Your and my deduction is not rigorous."

Lin Jinxiao said with a smile: "However, I also have doubts about killing Lin Jinmu as you said."

Staring at her deeply, Lin Jinxiao sighed slightly: "I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, the postman from the posthouse came to report that the third uncle would appear at the posthouse in the east of the city every day recently, and concubine Yue Gui The behavior is very intimate, and I don't know what the two are plotting."

"If Uncle Three really saved Concubine Yue Gui in the posthouse, Concubine Yue would be grateful, and it would make sense to get closer to Uncle Three, but I don't think it's that simple."

Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said: "Concubine Yue Gui is a smart person, if it is not a last resort, she will definitely not choose to be with the third emperor uncle, the power of the Qinghe clan is at its peak right now, even if she can't get benefits from you, the upstart of the court , and should continue to be loyal to the Queen Mother and King Qinghe, so that even if King Qinghe ascends the throne in the future, she can at least keep her current glory, why should she risk being hated by Qinghe dignitaries to curry favor with the third uncle."

"Unless they have reached some ulterior secret, or they can get a more generous reward from the third emperor uncle, so that Concubine Yue can be driven by the third emperor uncle willingly."

Lin Jinxiao said with firm eyes.

He even began to speculate in his heart that the two might have had some affair.

Chu Nanzhi sighed bitterly: "Right now, many mysteries are perplexing us. The man behind the scenes who instigated the Qi family to **** the imperial decree has not yet been found out. I don't dare to conclude whether this matter is related to Concubine Yue and Uncle Three Emperors, but they are really there. Collaborating together and doing things that would shame His Majesty, that actually helped us, and we just took this opportunity to bring down the two of them."

"It is an unforgivable crime to kill the prince of the court without authorization, but the court has not yet held the Nandu king accountable, which shows that the courtiers' support for him is extraordinary."

When this matter was mentioned, Lin Jinxiao was very angry.

Regardless of whether Lin Jinmu's crimes are true or not, he is His Majesty's own king after all, how could he be killed so unexplainably.

Even with the Son of Heaven sword in his hand, he dare not kill the princes indiscriminately.

Such and such, isn't it to make everyone in the royal family feel in danger.

"With Yue Guifei, His Majesty's bedside person, and the support of those old officials in Jingling City, and the two of them have justified the matter, His Majesty will naturally not pursue it."

Chu Nanzhi also couldn't help sighing regretfully: "We don't know what happened at the posthouse that day, but it's a pity for a prince. Based on the two things that King Nandu said, he shouldn't be guilty of death."

"Although the postman didn't say it very clearly that day, I seemed to be able to sense something from his eyes, that is, the posthouse is full of Concubine Yue's cronies, and it is not easy to go in and find out."

Lin Jinxiao pulled her and continued to walk in: "Our Han Yicheng is smart, he knows how to protect himself wisely, he doesn't say anything, but he is also afraid of being accused of dereliction of duty. In short, he let me know some tricks. As for the others So I threw this problem on myself, and I will always be the one who offends people."

"I'm afraid it's not easy for him to protect himself wisely."

Chu Nanzhi frowned and looked at him: "If he really bumped into something he shouldn't have seen, how could Concubine Yue Gui and the King of Nandu spare his life?"

"Only seeing this kind of thing is believing, otherwise it would be difficult to grasp the handle based on Han Yicheng's one-sided words."

Lin Jinxiao smiled wryly and said, "I think this is also the reason why Han Yicheng didn't dare to speak out."

"Then we will find a way to make him speak clearly."

Chu Nanzhi looked at him meaningfully, and followed him casually into the Murong Courtyard.
