After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 193: Imprisonment in a Secret Room
At this time, Mr. Wen ran over to the Third Prince's Mansion in a panic and said, "Your Highness, something happened to the high priest."
"The Regent has sealed off several bases of the Tianxuan Sect in the past few days on the pretext of searching for remnants of the rebels. Now the High Priest has also been targeted by the Regent. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Lin Shaoshu's gloomy expression flashed with a hint of thought, and he sneered, "It's just as I expected. Lin Xun's investigation of the eunuch party is actually for other purposes."
All the eunuchs who were related to Wang Shoucheng and Ye Chengan had been crushed to ashes by Lin Xun. Given Lin Xun's personality, how could they have survived these years? I'm afraid that Lin Xun has been obsessed with the Ganlu Temple incident these years. Everyone thinks that Lin Xun did it for the late emperor, but Lin Shaoshu knows that Lin Xun must be after the things left by the late emperor.
There is a secret between Lin Xun and the late emperor!
Seeing Lin Shaoshu's nonchalant look, Mr. Wen's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he said, "This capital is full of spies from the Inspection Office. Now that the identity of the high priest has been exposed, I'm afraid we can no longer stay in those places of the Tianxuan Sect. Your Highness, should we lend a hand?"
Lin Shaoshu's face turned colder, and he said, "If you let me contact the Tianxuan Sect at this time, wouldn't that be giving them a handle? If Lin Xun or the East Palace find out, and accuse the Third Prince of having an affair with Southern Frontier, then it won't be the High Priest who will be finished, but me, Lin Shaoshu!"
In the past, Lin Shaoshu had always been very respectful to Mr. Wen. He rarely saw Lin Shaoshu speak so harshly. He was slightly startled and hurriedly explained, "It was my subordinate who was in a hurry. I wonder what Your Highness is going to do?"
Seeing that Mr. Wen was quite sensible, Lin Shaoshu's anger faded a little and he said, "Just wait and see what happens. Also, tell your subordinates to be careful these days and never let anyone else notice anything."
"Yes."
Mr. Wen said this but did not leave.
Lin Shaoshu asked, "Sir, is there anything else?"
Mr. Wen looked at Lin Shaoshu's face, hesitated for a while and said, "Tomorrow is the family recognition banquet at the Marquis' Mansion. Do you want to attend in person?"
Mr. Wen was a bit knowledgeable in divination and knew that Ye Jin was Lin Shaoshu's benefactor, so he tried every means to bring the two together. But what Mr. Wen didn't expect was that the imperial decree to grant the marriage was to let the third prince Lin Shaoshu get married to bring good luck...
He had been with Lin Shaoshu for many years and knew that although Lin Shaoshu looked gentle on the outside, he was actually extremely proud on the inside. He was afraid that this arranged marriage had increased Lin Shaoshu's dissatisfaction from three points to five points.
However, the matter is done, and appeasing Ye Jin and winning over the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is Lin Shaoshu's best choice!
Lin Shaoshu was naturally not the kind of person who would not consider the overall situation. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Prepare a generous gift."
"Yes……"
Mr. Wen breathed a sigh of relief and didn't notice the cold light that flashed in Lin Shaoshu's eyes.
……
"Tomorrow is the day when the future prince's wife will recognize her ancestry and return to her family lineage. Most of the noble families in Kyoto will be there. If we don't invite the East Palace, wouldn't it be impolite?"
When Xiao Xuetang spoke, her pair of peach blossom eyes sparkled, like a little fox who was plotting something.
Lin Xun raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Tomorrow, Lin Shaoshu will definitely come to the Marquis' Mansion and invite the Crown Prince... Do you want them to fight?"
Xiao Xuetang hurriedly put on an innocent look and said, "Now there are rumors throughout the court that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are not on good terms. I am doing this to help them put aside their past grudges, stabilize the government, and relieve your worries, Your Majesty."
"After all, the envoys from Southern Xinjiang will arrive in Kyoto in a few days. As the saying goes, we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. We can't let them make a fool of themselves."
Someone said it in a righteous manner. Lin Xun was silent. After a moment, he said calmly: "Speak human language!"
Xiao Xuetang touched his nose and said honestly, "Today, Xiao Yu told me a secret that is related to Madam Nan. She is most likely the daughter of Ye Chengan."
Hearing this, Lin Xun, who had been nonchalant, couldn't help but change his expression slightly, frowning and saying: "Ye Chengan?!"
Then his brows relaxed, and he sneered, "So that's it!"
Xiao Xuetang asked in surprise: "Did the prince know about this a long time ago?"
"Do you remember why I visited Yong'an Marquis's Mansion so many times when I first returned to Kyoto?"
Xiao Xuetang said: "Isn't it because of the rebellion in Jingzhou?"
"It's for Ye Chengan!"
"Ye Chengan was a wandering doctor. During the Jingzhou Rebellion, someone poisoned the army and tampered with the herbs. The military doctor found that one of the herbs was related to Ye Chengan. Tianshu followed the clues and found that Ye Chengan's influence still remained in the Jiangnan area. They were responsible for the Jingzhou incident, but the clues were cut off when they reached the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."
After all, Xiao Yi was a third-rank military marquis of the imperial court. Without actual evidence, even if Lin Xun had doubts in his heart, he could not take direct action without evidence. Later, when he arrived in Kyoto, the Baicaotang incident occurred.
At that time, Lin Xun thought that Xiao Yi was doing something to protect Ye Jin because of the collusion between officials and businessmen to resell fake herbs.
Now it seems that things are far from that simple...
Xiao Yi, Ye Jin, Madam Nan, all the things that were previously shrouded in mystery can finally be connected together!
Then, Lin Xun said a guess that was both unexpected and reasonable...
"Back then, I had always suspected that Ye Chengan and his men had colluded with foreign tribes during the Ganlu Incident. But when I led my troops back to Chang'an, Ye Chengan had already burned himself to death, and the entire Ye Mansion was burned to ashes, and all clues were cut off. If he had any descendants who are still alive, it is very likely that they took over the power he left behind, causing trouble in Kyoto and becoming spies in Southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Xuetang's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle Wu checked Madam Nan before, and she claimed to be from Jiangnan."
Everything is right!
If Tianshu and the others were present at this moment, they would definitely be impressed that these two people are now getting along better and better...
Lin Xun always acted decisively and said, "Then let Qi Yusheng come and arrest him now."
Previously, Xiao Xuetang suspected that Ye Jin and the others were spies from Southern Xinjiang, but because the envoys from Southern Xinjiang were about to arrive in Kyoto, Lin Xun did not take any action in order to avoid alerting the enemy.
But now that the Marquis of Yong'an is related to the eunuch party, everyone in the court hates the eunuch party so it is reasonable to arrest him!
"hold on……"
Xiao Xuetang looked as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and said, "Tomorrow is the family recognition banquet, and the protagonist cannot be missing at the family recognition banquet."
"Moreover, everything about Xiao Yi and Madam Nan is our inference. It would be great if we could find the witnesses from that time..."
……
This night was almost a sleepless night for many people.
At three o'clock in the morning, a furtive figure came out of Xiao Yi's yard and walked towards the southeast of the Marquis' Mansion.
There was a deserted courtyard, which was also a forbidden area of the Marquis' Mansion.
He moved the mechanism and found a secret room under the deserted yard, in which an old man was imprisoned...
