Chapter 729： pass the buck

Just as the entire Jingling City was immersed in the strong flavor of the New Year, the two messengers left Beijing almost at the same time.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, Lin Jinxiao and Chu Wenbi's father and daughter had breakfast together early in the morning, and they were sent back to Tong'an Village.

Now that the lady has become a court lieutenant in Jingzhong, he is well aware of the old father-in-law's temperament. He is afraid that he will show off in front of the relatives in the village to satisfy his vanity, so he specially ordered Yin Liuxuan to prepare a generous gift again, in case he visits relatives used by friends.

After arranging all the matters, Hai Da led the famous attendant into the palace carefully, first ordered the attendant to hand over a bowl of soup to him, and explained cautiously: "Your Highness, today Princess Yuanxi When I returned to the residence of the adults who stayed behind, I said that I personally cooked a bowl of delicious sea bass and bamboo shoot soup to nourish my Highness."

"It's unnecessary."

Lin Jinxiao glanced coldly at the hot soup in the attendant's hand, waved his hand and reprimanded, "Take it down."

I still remember that when I had a gout attack in my legs and feet, Chu Wenyu sent someone to give me two perch. My wife was afraid that my leg disease would recur after eating the perch.

Hai Da'a has already seen that His Highness does not have the slightest affection for this ardent Princess Yuanxi. Although the little princess has indeed changed a lot since he came to the house, he learned to cook and cook soup by himself, and is considerate, but it is wrong after all. She paid, but she had a noble status as the princess, so she had to respect a little bit, so she had to allow the servants to bring in the soup.

Seeing that King Pingning was displeased, he immediately winked at the attendant tactfully, signaling her to leave, and then quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, Ji Shangshu came to visit, and the old slave seems to have important matters to discuss with His Highness. Discuss."

"Oh, immediately lead Master Shang Shu to the study to worship tea."

Hearing that it was Ji Huai who asked for an interview, Lin Jinxiao immediately changed his expression, got up and walked straight to the study.

Waited in the study for a while, only to see Hai Da'a come in with Ji Huaishu.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jinxiao noticed that the old Shangshu was hesitating today, as if he was full of worries.

"Master Shangshu, please sit down."

Lin Jinxiao glanced coldly at Ji Huaishu, but he pondered for a long time before sitting down slowly.

First, he raised his eyes and looked at the calm Haida. Haida was about to go out, but Ji Huaishu quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Boss Hai, where are you going?"

Haida knew that there might be nothing good for him here.

About King Pingning's life experience, the people around His Highness probably know about it, but they are the only ones who keep it from him. The last time Yin Sian came here, he never mentioned it. Visiting at the door, I am afraid that there will be results in Beijing.

He didn't want to stay in the study and watch King Pingning get angry.

Seeing that he couldn't slip out, he had to turn around and replied with a stiff smile: "Old slave, go and see who are the guests in the palace today."

"There is no need to bother Director Hai for this kind of matter, it is enough for Shaofu Yin to take care of it."

Ji Huaishu smiled at him maliciously, and when he looked at Lin Jinxiao, he intentionally and sincerely asked, "Your Highness, I have been down to Jiangnan for a while, and I have been busy with official duties, and I haven't had time to catch up with Director Hai. Could you please trouble Your Majesty today?" Director Hai bestows a seat, I want to keep him in His Highness's study."

Lin Jinxiao was very puzzled by this request.

These two old guys can't talk if they want to talk, so why stay in their study.

But seeing the earnest eyes of the old Shangshu, he had no choice but to nod his head, and signaled to the uncomfortable Hai Da'a: "Boss Hai, since Lord Shangshu is sincerely begging, you don't have to restrain yourself, just sit down."

Hai Da'a secretly glanced at Ji Huaishu with a resentful gaze, and hurriedly sat down in trepidation.

"Tell me, Master Shangshu, what do you want to discuss with this king when you come to the door today?"

Lin Jinxiao guessed that he must be here on business, so he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Ji Huaishu and Hai Da'a looked at each other in dismay, but pushed the hard work to this cunning old eunuch: "I think Director Hai should know this matter better than the old man, let Director Hai explain it to His Highness in detail. "

"Old slave?"

Hai Da'a's eyes bulged in a daze, and hurriedly declined: "This old slave is just an **** who has lived in the palace for a long time, so how can he be compared with Master Shang Shu, of course no Master Shang Shu knows the whole story."

Seeing the two pushing back and forth, Lin Jinxiao immediately became annoyed, and reprimanded with sullen expression: "What are you two hiding?"

"Your Highness."

Ji Huaishu saw him getting angry, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Just before the New Year's Day, there was a great change in the palace. Situ Yang Runchen and Zhonglang General Pang Yuan conspired to release the imprisoned Nandu King from Youting Palace The palace has changed."

"Palace change?"

Before Ji Huaishu could finish his words, Lin Jinxiao stood up angrily: "My wife, Your Highness, the little princess, and your two benefactors are in danger?"

It was only then that he realized that the two of them hesitated for a long time, probably because of this matter, they dared not speak.

Ji Huaishu was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands: "Your Highness, please calm down, the princess and everyone are safe and sound. According to the message sent back by Mr. Chang, it is the princess who is resourceful and resourceful this time. She made careful arrangements with Princess Shu in advance to deliberately stimulate Yang's one-party forced the palace, completely disintegrating the conspiracy of Yang's one-party."

Seeing that Lin Jinxiao was listening carefully, Ji Huaishu carefully sized him up, and then secretly glanced at Hai Da'a.

But the old **** just sat there peacefully like an outsider, which made Ji Huaishu feel puzzled.

After pondering for a while, he had no choice but to continue to speak with a bitter face: "The princess has also uncovered two shocking cases through this palace change. The mastermind who murdered the former prince and his senior ministers was Yang Runchen, and the old King Qinghe The assassination was also arranged by him."

"This Yang Situ is really disloyal and unrighteous. He is a veteran of the three dynasties."

Lin Jinxiao shook his head full of contempt.

Earlier, he and his wife guessed that the tax bank case and Duanlongshan assassination were inseparably related to this person, but they didn't expect him to do so many evil deeds.

"Since everything has been decided, can the Empress Dowager and His Majesty allow the wife to return?"

Lin Jinxiao was most worried about Chu Nanzhi's safety, so he couldn't wait to ask.

I really don’t know how my wife escaped this catastrophe.

When I was in Luyan Port, I told her to keep a low profile in everything when she went to Beijing. I didn't expect this girl to lead such a big show.

"I heard that the old ancestor has passed on the decree on behalf of His Majesty, and specially appointed the princess as the chief commander to patrol the south of the Yangtze River. She should be back after the New Year's Eve."

At this point, Ji Huaishu suddenly stopped, and he never dared to speak what he was holding in his heart.

"That's good, that's good."

Lin Jinxiao's calm heart couldn't stop making waves.

Finally, the mother and child could return to Luyan Port safely before the child was born.

This news is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing for him this New Year's Eve.

But looking at Hai Da'a and Ji Huaishu's still sullen faces, he sensed that something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "Master Shang Shu, do you have something else to tell me?"
