Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Outside the palace, in the second prince's mansion, the second prince was discussing matters with a group of counselors.

"Your Highness, Lin Changqing must have sent Princess Huaishan and their daughter out of the capital. The world is so vast that it may be difficult to find her. How about letting people from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion persuade him?"

At this time, another counselor shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. As we all know, Lord Lin and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion are not close!"

"But Miss Zhongyong Hou got married, but Master Lin carried her out of the house."

"So Miss Zhongyonghou and her husband also disappeared!"

"...In other words, the remaining people in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion are no longer useful to Lord Lin?"

"Maybe Zhongyong Hou or the current Zhongyong Hou Crown Prince may still be of some use. After all, he still has some blood relationship with Mr. Lin." One is his biological father, and the other is his half-mother.

After hearing this, everyone was thoughtful.

Since Mr. Lin can have some sincerity with his half-sister, maybe he can do the same with his half-brother?

Although Mr. Lin did not show it, it was obvious that when the title of Prince Zhongyong was given to his half-brother, he did not raise any objection.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look up at the second prince sitting behind the desk.

The second prince glanced at everyone and nodded after a while: "Then I would like you all to go to the Zhongyonghou Mansion for me, and ask Zhongyonghou and the Crown Prince Zhongyonghou to give it a try!"

Several counselors immediately stood up to respond.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in, "Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace. The Emperor wants you to come into the palace."

After hearing the emperor's order, the second prince immediately stood up and said to everyone: "You guys can discuss it first. I'll go see my father first, and I'll make a decision after I leave the palace!" After that, he hurriedly left.

The second prince asked as he walked: "Why does your father want to see me so late?"

The little eunuch then quietly told the second prince the news he had just found out: "I heard that the emperor dropped a cup just after Mr. Lin came out of the palace!"

The second prince stopped talking and hurriedly entered the palace.

At the same time, Lin Changqing has returned to Lin Mansion.

At first glance, the huge Lin Mansion looked no different from usual, but Lin Changqing felt empty in his heart.

He originally planned to rest in the study room in the front yard, but he unconsciously walked to the backyard.

The originally dark backyard quickly lit up the lights, and Lin Changqing strode towards the house with a dazed expression.

But this time, until he entered the bedroom, the woman did not come out to greet him. Only the maid stood carefully behind him and looked at him timidly.

"go out!"

The maid quickly retreated and closed the door.

Lin Changqing lay on the bed, smelling the scent of Chen Xi still on the bed, and finally relaxed after a day of tension.

From the time he entered the palace last night to the day he left the palace today, he did not eat a grain of rice or drink a drop of water!

At first he made a show of looking for him, but later the emperor called him into the palace, and he knelt down to express his loyalty.

Naturally, the emperor would not believe it easily. In fact, Lin Changqing knew that even now the emperor did not believe it, but he still let him out of the palace safely after all!

After the war in the north, today's Lin Changqing is no longer the general who never had a large-scale elite training force in his hands. Now there are his people in the army in both the northeast and northwest, and even in the East China Sea and southern Xinjiang.

His ten years of military experience finally gave him the capital to save his life!

He knew that the emperor was very angry this time and wanted to kill him quickly!

It's a pity that the emperor can't kill him. He is a general who has just founded the country. Now the most elite troops of the Dai Viet Dynasty are all in the hands of generals who have a life-long friendship with him. If he has a shortcoming, let alone everyone rebel together, even if If a few people get hot-headed, it will have an immeasurable impact.

It was also for this reason that after the emperor became seriously ill, the prince and the second prince would talk to him regardless of what others said, trying to win him over.

The reason why the emperor did not kill him in anger was because he understood that the current situation was very bad. If he ordered his death, the prince or the second prince would probably kick him out of office in the name of "the emperor is fatuous". If you ascend to power, there will be bloodshed in the court!

For the common people, it doesn't matter who the emperor is. Only those aristocratic families who want to earn a share of "contribution to the dragon" will care whether their supporters eventually ascend to the throne.

They have earned their share of serving the dragon, so naturally they will not think so highly of today's "true dragon emperor". This is what the saying "one emperor and one courtier" means!

However, Lin Changqing does not stand for anyone now. He will be his "direct minister" in order to let everyone, including the emperor, know that he will not participate in these struggles at all. Who will be able to truly sit in that position in the future? In this position, who will talk to him again!

As for whether others believe it or not, it has little effect!

As long as he makes this gesture, he can stabilize most of the current situation.

Lin Changqing was thinking a lot in his mind, but before going to bed, he was thinking, at this time, she had already taken her daughter to the Central Plains, right?

I don’t know how long it will take to return to Changzhou!

In fact, no one would have thought that Chen Xi did not take the boat all the way back to Changzhou according to the prearranged route. After she met her daughter, she stayed in a small town a hundred miles away.

Speaking of which, after meeting her daughter yesterday, she went straight out of the city and took a carriage straight to the dock according to Lin Changqing's pre-arranged plan.

It was only after she got on the boat that she realized something was wrong.

There were actually many working adults on board among the passengers!

Because he was leaving at a glance, Chen Xi did not bring many people with him this time. He only brought four brothers and sisters, Dong Baozhen and Meng He, not even Aunt Gui and Aunt Song, let alone the garish guards.

The six people were divided into two groups and left. Chen Xi and Dong Baoshan pretended to be husband and wife, Dong Baozhen pretended to be the maid taking care of Yaoyao, and the Meng He brother and sister pretended to be brothers and sisters visiting relatives in the capital.

After boarding the boat, Chen Xi realized something was wrong, and immediately told Dong Baozhen, brother and sister Meng He that the four of them should abandon the boat immediately and walk away. The five children and one pee quietly got off the boat under the cover of darkness, left in a small boat, and then went ashore all the way south.

But when the group arrived at Fuyang Town at dawn the next day, Chen Xi suddenly decided to stay in the town!

This decision was immediately opposed by the other four people, but Chen Xi insisted on it.

"I have an intuition that even if we return to Changzhou, it will not be safe, because everyone thinks that I will return to Changzhou. I know where my territory is, and I am the safest. So according to the current situation, we I’m afraid I’ll be arrested before I even get to Changzhou, so I’m going to do the opposite!”
