I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin trotted all the way to Song Shiqiu's study, gestured to the people working in the study to keep quiet, then tiptoed to the window to peek at Song Shiqiu handling official business.

"Ajin, come in." Song Shiqiu spotted Lin Jin without even turning his head.

"What? If you show your head, you'll be killed in seconds, right?" Lin Jin was very careful not to show too much of his head, but he was still discovered. He walked in while complaining, "Is your field of vision wider than others?"

Song Shiqiu sighed helplessly: "Your footsteps were too loud when you came in from outside just now. Who else would dare to sneak around in my yard except you?"

"Okay, okay, I'm here..."

"You've come just in time. I still have something to tell you." Song Shiqiu seemed to have seen through what Lin Jin wanted to say, and spoke first before she finished speaking, "About entering the palace tomorrow."

"Oh, oh, okay." Lin Jin didn't expect to be interrupted, but since they were talking about serious matters, she didn't think much about it.

"Although Jing'an was raised under the name of the Queen Mother, she and Prince Jin are actually born of the same mother. However, since the Queen Mother only has one princess, Jing'an, it is natural that Jing'an became the eldest princess of Daxia after Your Majesty ascended the throne. If you hear any rumors about Prince Jin when you enter the palace tomorrow." Song Shiqiu paused when he said this, and continued when he saw that Lin Jin didn't know what might happen.

"Don't ask too many questions. Whenever someone asks you anything, just say that you have been busy preparing for the spring ploughing and have no time to care about anything else. You know nothing about it. The news of Lin Lin's arson that day has been rushed back to the capital by white cranes over 800 miles. With the memorials sent to the capital, many people have known about it, but it was suppressed and the common people never knew about it."

But in the eyes of the world, Lin Jin and Lin Lin are sisters after all. Although the people don’t know that Liu Jin is Lin Jin, some people in the harem know it.

Lin Jin's heart sank. Arson is a crime, no matter what era it is, not to mention that Lin Lin set the fire intentionally. Although the other party had already calculated that those people would not die, in the eyes of others, Lin Lin wanted to kill those people. If Prince Jin had not been taken out, he would probably be demoted to a commoner now.

But even so, this incident is enough to make King Jin suffer.

"Actually, Lin Lin didn't want those people to die, she just..." Lin Jin wanted to explain to Lin Lin that the other party just wanted to quell the rumors during this period.

"None of it matters, Ajin. None of the facts matter. In this matter, we can only conclude that Princess Jin suffered from hysteria, so she went crazy. After all, everyone saw who set the fire." Song Shiqiu could tell something was wrong from the number of casualties. With so many people and such a big fire, only a few people were slightly injured.

If this wasn't intentional, it would be absolutely impossible. Fire is something that cannot be controlled at all. If there is anyone in this world who has the ability to control fire, it is only Lin Lin.

Lin Jin knew that he was right and sighed silently.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Song Shiqiu changed the subject: "But there was a letter yesterday, which came from the South. It was the place where Lin Lin mentioned the explosives were buried. I have sent people to dig them up."

"Really, really buried it." Lin Jin was a little surprised. In fact, she had never believed in her heart that Lin Lin really buried the bomb, but she knew that they would be cautious.

"Not at all."

"Not all of them?" How could it be not all of them?

"Take a look." Song Shiqiu took out the letter and gave it to Lin Jin, letting Lin Jin read the contents himself.

Lin Jin took the letter. The handwriting on it was strange yet familiar: "It's not a bomb...it's..." a Turkish military deployment map. "When did she make it?"

"I'm afraid no one knows what's going on, maybe even Prince Jin doesn't know." Song Shiqiu also felt that this person was simply incomprehensible. The word "moody" was the most appropriate to describe Lin Lin.

Lin Jin returned the letter to Song Shiqiu: "I'm glad it's not a bomb." She didn't know what to say more.

"There is one more thing. Since it is a matter within the harem, Bai He cannot investigate too much. The Queen Mother gave birth to a daughter when she was young, but this girl died young, so Jing'an was later raised by the Queen Mother. Now I heard that the princess who died young was actually replaced by a cat as the prince, and has now been found. If this is true." Song Shiqiu did not continue, but anyone who was not too stupid would know.

The reason why Jing'an is the eldest princess is because the Queen Mother's biological daughter died young. But now it is discovered that this is not the case. The princess has been found back, and Jing'an's position will become very embarrassing.

"If it's true? It means you don't know whether it's true or not?" Lin Jin covered her lips, somewhat unbelieving. How could Song Shiqiu not know whether it was true or not regarding such a big thing?

Song Shiqiu nodded: "I don't know why, His Majesty did not allow me to investigate this matter thoroughly. From what His Majesty meant, the Queen Mother will admit it regardless of whether it is true or false."

"Is it because you want to make the Queen Mother happy?" Lin Jin guessed Xia Zhengan's intention. After all, the Queen Mother raised Jing'an as her own daughter, so she must have loved the princess who died young very much. The death of her daughter must have been a huge blow to a mother.

"That's right." Song Shiqiu was a little worried. He could understand Xia Zhengan's thoughts, but if she wasn't a real princess, let alone confusing the royal bloodline, if she had ill intentions, there would be chaos in the harem. "After all, I am an outsider. Even if there are many women among my Baihe, it is not easy for me to interfere."

Lin Jin understood what he meant, and her face was full of confusion: "That being said, I'm just going to accompany Jing'an to choose a prince consort tomorrow, and I can't find out anything."

It was impossible for her to walk around in the harem, and she was not a detective. Song Shiqiu trusted her a little too much.

"Maybe I won't even be able to see the princess." Lin Jin held up her face. She had only seen the Forbidden City on TV before. Although she was nervous but still a little bit expectant when she suddenly entered the palace. This was not the Forbidden City of later generations. This was Chang'an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties in history. Although it was not the history of her time and space, it probably wouldn't be much different.

Compared to these, Lin Jin was more curious about why Song Shiqiu had to investigate this matter. Xia Zhengan didn't seem like such an imprudent person.

"What if the princess is really fake, but His Majesty still insists on having his own way?" Lin Jin's worry is not without basis. After all, the other party does not intend to let Song Shiqiu intervene, and the meaning is very clear.

"Your Majesty is also a human being. Human beings will act on impulse sometimes. At this time, we need officials to supervise and civil officials to make death-defying remonstrations." Song Shiqiu would never allow Xia Zhengan to do such a foolish thing. "Even if the princess is really of royal blood and has been living abroad for more than ten years, we cannot take it lightly."

Lin Jin laughed dryly. In this day and age, DNA testing was not possible, so there was no way to tell whether she was a biological daughter or not. Even the birthmark could be a coincidence or fake. It was as difficult as ascending to heaven to verify whether she was a real princess.

"How can you prove whether she is the real princess? Kindly remind you that blood tests are unreliable." So there is no way to verify whether they are real or not. "You decided to treat the girl as a fake and see if you can find any clues, right?"

"That's right. If she is fake, she will never become real and will be exposed sooner or later. I'm just afraid that the Queen Mother is old now, and the princess died young. Even if the woman is fake, she will be raised as the real one. If she makes any mistakes, she will be condoned and protected because of her love for her child." It will be really troublesome then.

Lin Jin sighed. What could be done even if this was the case? If it was really as Song Shiqiu said, unless they kept an eye on that woman, no one would be able to predict what she would do, unless they had extraordinary abilities and could create a DNA testing instrument.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
