play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Fenghuaxueyuelou.

At this moment, it is approaching dusk. Although the weather has been nice these past two days, it is winter after all, and twilight always comes earlier.

This place is the most prosperous and lively, with bright lights and an endless stream of people coming and going.

An ordinary carriage stopped outside, and a man in ordinary clothes walked out, which would not attract anyone's attention.

Although Lin Ming is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a second-rank official of the imperial court, he is not deliberately making it public. He has never been to this place before. He has only heard about it and is somewhat nervous. Now it seems that it is him. Overthink it.

However, when Lin Ming walked into the 'Fenghuaxueyue Tower', he didn't know what to do. He only told him to come here, but didn't tell him how to connect with people and who to meet. Really? , a person of his status actually comes to a place and is still at a loss.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Lin Ming, "Is this your first time here? Do you want to drink tea and listen to music, or..."

Lin Ming looked at the man in front of him and said directly: "Arrange a private room for me to be quieter." He didn't know what to do, so he thought of finding a quiet place to stay first. Since he could say that he would come "Fenghuaxueyue Tower", he is here, the real person in charge of "Fenghua Xueyue Tower" cannot possibly not know.

After hearing this, the steward said: "Yes, I will arrange it for you, please come with me."

Lin Ming didn't think too much and just followed this person. As he walked, his whole body tensed up. It was obvious that the place where he was brought was not just a private room.

The steward pushed open the door of a room and led Lin Ming inside, "Guest, this is the private room you want. It is quiet here and no one will disturb you."

Lin Ming looked around. It was really quiet. It was quiet and elegant inside, and the fragrance of tea spread out. No wonder this place was praised by people in the capital. The decoration of this elegant room was really thoughtful.

"The guest is free to do it himself. If you have any needs, just call the younger one."

"Wait a minute."

When the steward heard this, he said, "I wonder if the guest has any other instructions?"

"Instructions?" Lin Ming was a little surprised, paused, and then said: "You..."

"Is it possible that the guest has made an appointment to come here to talk about something and doesn't want to be discovered?" The steward said seriously: "Guest, just don't worry. No one will disturb you here. Guests can just do what they want to do. If Without the guest's instructions, I will not disturb you."

Lin Ming understood the meaning after listening to this man's words. It seemed that he only needed to wait patiently, and someone would naturally come to see him, so he said, "Okay, you go ahead."

"Yes."

Then, Lin Ming walked in and looked at the tea prepared on the tea table over there. It was obvious that it had just been cooked and was still steaming.

Lin Ming sat down directly in front of the tea table. The candlelight in the room was bright, and the sky outside had completely dimmed.

……

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

Feng Ying walked in, stood in front of the dragon case, and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Che asked while reviewing the memorial, "What's the matter?"

Feng Ying said truthfully: "Lin Ming has arrived at 'Fenghuaxueyue'. The Second Young Master Qin and the Third Young Master Qin have sent someone to send a message. Regarding this matter, does the Emperor have any instructions?"

Xuanyuan Che said quietly: "It seems that he really can't sit still. If this is the case, let Qin Heng and Qin Yu go see Lin Ming first and see what he says."

Feng Ying: "Your Majesty, do you want to see him?"

Xuanyuan Che: "No rush, you go ahead and do it first."

Feng Ying: "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

After Feng Ying retreated, Xuanyuan Che put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, closed the reviewed memorial, looked at the person sitting aside, and asked in a warm voice: "Shu'er, do you want to go and take a look? ?”

Qin Shu just listened to Feng Ying talking about this and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this matter had passed through her long ago and she had given Concubine Jing clear instructions. Concubine Jing and the Lin family should have thought clearly about what to do. , it doesn’t matter whether you go to see it or not.

"Husband, do you want to finalize this matter once and for all?"

Xuanyuan Che said: "It depends on how far Lin Ming can do it. If he can give me an answer that satisfies me, I can make a decision on this."

Qin Shu nodded and said "hmm".

Xuanyuan Che stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Qin Shu, took the book in her hand, closed it, put it aside, stared at the person in front of him, and said: "Qin Heng and Qin Yu were He said that he is going back to Nanxiang City during the Chinese New Year, and it is estimated that it will be within these two days. It just so happens that Shu'er can go out of the palace together and talk to them."

Qin Shu looked at Xuanyuan Che's hand stretched out towards her, then put her hand in Xuanyuan Che's palm, letting him hold her hand and pull her up, "My husband is right, I haven't seen you two for a while. Brother and Third Brother, they are going back to Nanxiang City, so I just want to meet them."

While talking, the two of them came out of the imperial study room directly.

The night was shrouded outside, and the cold winter wind blew by. Two figures quietly crossed the night sky and quickly disappeared outside the palace wall.

……

Fenghuaxueyue Tower, somewhere in a quiet elegant room.

Lin Ming sat here and drank several cups of tea. Although the tea tasted good, he couldn't help but had something on his mind, and he couldn't have the leisure to enjoy it.

He has been sitting here for half an hour, and no one has come over yet.

But when he came over that time, the manager's words, although he didn't say it explicitly, still hinted at it. It was impossible for him to leave him here deliberately.

Lin Ming put down the cup of tea he had finished drinking, and finally lost his temper. He stood up and headed outside.

However, as soon as he stood up, he saw two figures outside the door, and the next moment, the door was pushed open.

At the same time, the voice of speaking also came in.

"Master Lin is so anxious. He has only been sitting for half an hour and he can't sit still anymore?"

Lin Ming couldn't help but be startled. He stood still and saw the two young men appearing in front of him. These two people...

Lin Ming was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, knew all the officials in office. Even if he could not remember everyone clearly, he still knew the family members of those officials with high status and high official positions.

The two young masters in front of him happened to be within the scope of his knowledge. There was no doubt that these two people were the second and third young masters of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

This……

It was said that his daughter was in the palace, and it was Concubine Chen who secretly made the connection, but the people who showed up to meet him at Fenghuaxueyue Tower were actually the Second Young Master Qin and the Third Young Master Qin, which was really shocking.

Moreover, these two young masters rarely appear outside. Unexpectedly, they are here?

According to what her daughter said, when Concubine Chen entered the palace, the emperor's thoughts on Duke Dingguo's mansion were far more than what appeared on the surface. Now that these two young masters are here, it is clear that they are working for the emperor.

Judging from this, the position of Dingguo Palace in the emperor's heart is even more extraordinary.
