The Fake Eunuch of the Empress: Bind the Shadow Corps at the beginning

After Mr. Yueshan left, Li Yan took over as acting head of the mountain.

As for who will take this position in the end, it will be determined after discussions among all parties.

Wu Zhao took the opportunity to resign from his position as the head of Wenlou, and left Jixia Academy on the same day, intending to visit various states to verify what Lin Xi said.

Lin Xi was naturally happy to see what she did.

Wu Zhao himself is the closest to a normal person among all the nobles.

With the experience of traveling thousands of miles, it will definitely be the most worry-free one in the future.

As for Di Jie, he was picked up by his family after that night.

Before leaving, he even came to look for Lin Xi, expressing that he would definitely go to Fengjing to find him.

After another day like this, Wu Yueding finally felt that he had had enough fun, and the three of them embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Although she said it was for fun, Lin Xi could tell that this girl was deliberately distracting herself from getting in touch with Wu Zhao.

After all, he has been living in the academy for the past few days, and has never played anywhere.

On the way back, the three of them were not in a hurry to go back, so they wandered around slowly all the way.

If you encounter a famous mountain, you will go up to the mountain for the night, and if you encounter a historic site, you will go to look for one or two...

If it weren't for the severe drought and the flood of refugees, the scenery in the land of Dazhou would be much more beautiful.

Seven days later, the carriage of the three of Lin Xi entered the customs again, and arrived at Xingcheng Station again in the evening of the same day.

The refugees are still outside the customs, but this time the Xingcheng Station has a somewhat jittery sense of depression.

There were only a few posthorses left in the mangers, and even the postmen who were drinking and bragging in the lobby on the ground floor were all gone.

Except for the postmen and a few scattered merchants in the entire post station, there are no redundant people in sight.

This change made Lin Xi very curious. After arranging Wu Yueding and the moon cakes, he went to the lobby alone and ordered a jug of good wine.

"Brothers are chatting... Come on, don't just talk, let's go."

"Excellent Xinzhou Laojiao, 20 taels a pot!"

As he spoke, he held the jug and poured wine for others.

There were three middle-aged men sitting at this table, all of them were shopkeepers or cashiers of commercial firms by their attire.

Although they were a little wary of this strange man, they didn't think he dared to poison the wine.

joke…

This is an official post, even if you have the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, you dare not commit crimes here.

"Little brother, come here uninvited, I'm afraid there are other intentions?"

The middle-aged man on the opposite side picked up the wine glass in front of him, smelled the aroma, and looked at Lin Xi with a half-smile.

"This elder brother has good eyesight, but the younger brother does have some problems."

"Heh, at least I drank a glass of good wine for you, but it doesn't hurt to ask."

The man raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, as a promise.

"Then let me just say it straight, isn't this Xingcheng Station usually very lively? Why is it so deserted today?"

"Little brother just came to Fengzhou?"

"Exactly, my younger brother just returned from Haizhou and only entered the customs in the afternoon."

"That's no wonder. The upheaval between the court and China happened yesterday. You just came back today. It's normal if you don't know."

"A drastic change in the court?"

Lin Xi frowned in thought, but his movements were not slow, and he lifted the wine pot and filled it for the middle-aged man.

The man nodded in satisfaction, then moved to the table with a mysterious face and said:
"A while ago, the fourth prince of the Great Song Dynasty was coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty to propose marriage...you all know that?"

"I know, that toad wants to eat swan meat, and our eldest princess is also what he can covet?"

"That's right, the eldest princess is the number one beauty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Fourth Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is a pervert and a sex monster. This is his dream of the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"Fortunately, His Majesty was so clear that he refused at that time."

Propose marriage?

Lin Xi carefully recalled the previous memories, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such rumors among the people a few months ago.

"Your Majesty did not refuse. At that time, the Eldest Princess strongly opposed it, and finally nothing happened."

"But a few days ago, the Emperor of Song Dynasty sent someone to propose marriage again. This time it was the third prince. I heard that His Majesty intends to agree..."

The middle-aged man showed displeasure.

The number one beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty should be betrothed to the prince of another country, which is really uncomfortable.

"The fourth prince can't do it, and the third prince is here. What is it like to be our eldest princess?"

"That's right, Song Guo doesn't take Da Zhou seriously! A mere prince who is worthless is not worthy of our eldest princess!"

"Hey, who's to say it's not, but Dazhou's national power is not good now, without the food supply of Dasong, it may be difficult for the country to have a full meal..."

Lin Xi listened silently, always feeling as if the conversation had gone astray, so he hurriedly asked:
"But what does all this have to do with the deserted state now?"

As soon as he asked the question, the middle-aged man showed a smug expression on his face.

Obviously, he was proud of having access to the secrets of the palace.

"Just yesterday at noon, the eldest princess went to the palace to find His Majesty and refused to propose a marriage. In less than an hour, the gates of the entire imperial city were closed, and Her Highness the eldest princess was thrown into the dungeon overnight. Guess what happened?"

Into the dungeon!

Lin Xi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The prisons in Dazhou were used to detain the relatives of the emperor and dignitaries, and the conditions were acceptable, and generally there would be no lynching.

Don't worry too much about the situation, but it's not a good sign to be locked up in the sky prison anyway.

That means at the mercy of others...

"What the hell happened?"

Because of the change in mood, Lin Xi's tone inevitably became a little blunt.

Even though Wu Yue did some things that he didn't like, she was still Ding'er and Yuebing's sister...

Ai Wu and Wu, he can't just sit idly by.

"Come on, everyone, come closer..."

The middle-aged man drank the wine in his glass again, and stretched out his hands in greeting.

"I heard that the Eldest Princess entered the palace in the name of refusing to propose a marriage, but in fact she intended to poison His Majesty with the intention of treason!"

"What!? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. If you want to rebel, you will enter the palace alone?"

"That is to say, it was the eldest princess who abdicated to His Majesty back then. I really wanted to be the emperor, but there was no need for it back then!"

"Look, even we can understand the truth, but the princes in the court turn a blind eye to it, this big Zhou..."

"Hush! Be careful with your words!"

"Now that the Eldest Princess is in prison, and His Majesty is in a coma due to poisoning, Prime Minister Lin will decide the court with one word. I think we have to make plans early!"

"Little brother, don't go to Fengjing either. General Cheng, as His Royal Highness Princess Baochang, has already blatantly broken face with Prime Minister Lin. The capital is in great chaos now..."

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm too drunk to drink, please trouble me to drink this pot of wine for me."

"It's easy to say, it's just a pot of wine..."

Lin Xi got the news he wanted, and immediately got up to bid farewell to the three of them.

Wu Yue was imprisoned, and the entire Changle Palace must be under martial law now...

If it hadn't been for Ding'er's intentional delay for a few days, it would have been too late to go back!
It has to be said that this is also a kind of good luck.

In short, I have to tell her the matter first, and I have to carefully consider what to do next.

But whether to save or not to save...

I am just a little eunuch.

I'm afraid it won't work.
