Jiang Tao can't escape

Chapter 25 Undercurrent

Happy days always seem to pass very quickly. In March, Lin Jincheng received a secret letter.

In the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, Lin Jincheng's face seemed to be covered with frost.

It was already afternoon when he received the letter, so Lin Jincheng immediately decided to leave for Fengcheng early the next morning.

The emperor fell ill, and the imperial physician asserted that Emperor Shunqi would not survive another three months.It's about to change.

Whose world will it be?

"I'm leaving for Fengcheng tomorrow. You and your mother are at home at ease. Don't go to Ruyi Building when I'm not around. If you have anything to do, tell the housekeeper to deal with it."

"Well, I see, how many days will it take to come back this time?"

"It's as fast as one day, and it won't take more than half a month. This time, it's just me and Ah San. The journey will be faster."

Although Lin Jincheng didn't want Jiang Tao to know the danger, he didn't dare to let Jiang Tao be too careless.

"I'm serious, you're not allowed to go to the Ruyi Building, just stay in the Lin Mansion. I'm afraid it's not peaceful these days. The mansion is very safe and someone will secretly protect you."

You can't move at this time, the eldest princess will definitely keep someone under surveillance, so why bother to tell the truth.For the people on a boat, this little trust still needs to be given.

"Why is it not peaceful? We are just doing business, and we still need someone to secretly protect us?"

Jiang Tao vaguely felt that something was wrong, and always felt a feeling of being kept in the dark.

Lin Jincheng sighed, after all, he still couldn't hide it completely.

"Because the business we do with the eldest princess is a bit special and dangerous. I'm afraid that the eldest princess' enemies will target us, so it's better to be careful."

"What business do you do?"

"Do you believe me?"

"Of course I do."

"Then leave it to me. When I'm not around, I'll be at ease with my mother in the mansion. It's hard to talk about it. You'll know about it soon."

Since ancient times, there are many secrets in wealthy families. Jiang Tao thought he could not understand Lin Jincheng's business with the royal family, but he still felt powerless.

"Ah."

Seeing that Jiang Tao was a little unhappy, Lin Jincheng hugged Jiang Tao tightly in his arms, and gently stroked Jiang Tao's back.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Jiang Tao felt melancholy in his heart, love is really strange, two people who were originally unrelated, after having love, they can't wait to stick together all the time and never separate.

Before we separated, I felt reluctant.

That night, Jiang Tao's unprecedented initiative made Lin Jincheng very excited, but Jiang Tao only promised once and refused to let him go, saying that he was worried that Lin Jincheng would be sleepy on the next day.

It's true that traveling would be exhausting, but Lin Jincheng felt that this kind of thing didn't take much physical effort, and he could do it three more times, so that he would be in good spirits the next day without affecting his journey.

But seeing Jiang Tao's worried eyes, Lin Jincheng felt that this was also very good.

The next day, Jiang Tao was still asleep, Lin Jincheng and Ah San quietly left the mansion, took two horses from an inconspicuous house and rode towards the city gate.

Along the way, he sent someone to contact the eldest princess. Lin Jincheng simply washed up in the inn, changed into clean clothes, and went to the most luxurious teahouse in Fengdu.

The eldest princess Chu Jitong is still calm and calm, and beside her is the heroic looking woman, General Xiao's daughter Xiao Yan.

"My mother's empress did not marry the emperor willingly."

Few people can make their own decisions about marriage, especially for women.It took a lot of effort for him to get rid of the family's arrangement, Lin Jincheng was a little strange, what does this have to do with the eldest princess' power?

The eldest princess was facing Lin Jincheng, but her gaze was scattered and she couldn't get it right, showing a sense of powerlessness.

"My grandfather was a military commander, and his family had a jewel in his palm. Naturally, he had to choose a talented person to match him. My father was still a prince at the time, but he was a prince who was very likely to ascend to the throne. After seeing my mother by chance, he asked my grandfather to marry him. My mother became a step-wife, and my father made my mother a queen when the emperor ascended the throne."

Well, Lin Jincheng can only say that the current emperor is very shrewd. It is said that many of the soldiers brought by the eldest princess' grandfather, An Pinghou, are generals. Well, if he can get married with Marquis Anping, then the possibility of the prince's success will increase a bit.

"However, my mother's empress has long been deeply rooted in love for others, but she was not accepted by others for some reason. Later, I was born later, but my mother finally died of depression."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lin Jincheng seemed to sneer when he saw the eldest princess.

"I don't tell you, you know that the royal family's father-son love is actually terrible. It is said that the emperor dotes on me, but it is because of his guilt."

"Now, Marquis of Anping, my maternal grandfather is on my side. After all, my mother has only one child, and the Marquis of Anping has to plan for the future. No matter which of my royal brothers succeeds, it is not good for the Marquis of Anping. What a good thing."

It is not a good thing to know too many royal secrets. Lin Jincheng doesn't care much about who the dead queen really likes and why the emperor feels guilty.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. I only hope that with my own ability and the power of the eldest princess, I can protect the people I care about, my mother, and my wife.

"Both money and people can be used by His Highness, but there is one thing that Caomin asks for."

"What's the matter?"

"My mother and my wife, I will find another place to resettle them. Except for my own people, please ask the eldest princess to send two hidden guards to protect them."

Hui'an was originally the fiefdom of the eldest princess, so it was naturally under the control of the eldest princess, but precisely because it was the fiefdom of the eldest princess, one had to guard against the possible eyeliner of other princes.

"Do you know that I don't have many hidden guards in total? I can only send one."

"Two, there are thousands of people on my side who can serve the eldest princess, and one of the worst ones can be ten."

The killers in Wuyinglou are powerful, but the royal hidden guards are even stronger. Since they are secretly protecting, naturally there can't be too many people. If there is a hidden guard by Jiang Tao's side, if there is any critical moment, at least saving his life is no problem.

The majesty of the royal family should not be underestimated, even Lin Jincheng was sweating from being stared at.

"Arrange as soon as possible, within ten days."

"His Royal Highness, Princess Xie."

Since we want to be tied together, it is better to be more thorough, show your own attitude, and let the other party give you the greatest trust, so that the other party's power can also become a power to protect yourself.

Lin Jincheng only needs to donate a large sum of money, and when it comes to the critical moment, he will bring a group of people from Wuyinglou to be used by Chu Jitong. The important things will be finished soon, and there is not much time left for further arrangements. Lin Jincheng will go down , but Chu Jitong's thoughts have not been fully recovered.

How painful it would be for a woman to marry someone she doesn't love, being forced to conceive and have children, and finally depressed and finally kept in the dark that her sweetheart is no longer alive. I will never repeat my mother's fate, never.

When Chu Jitong was young, he didn’t understand why there were so many beautiful women in the harem, why his father had so many women as a single man, why his mother was always indifferent to his father, why he often lived alone in the middle of the night after becoming a country. weeping.....

and after?His mother passed away, and when he was six years old, the imperial doctor said that it was due to depression, and he didn't understand when he became sick from overwork, but Chu Jitong couldn't forget what his mother said to him.

"Tongtong, your father will love you, but you have to be strong so that others can't bully you. Tongtong, if you want to be with someone in the future and your father doesn't like him, what will you do?"

"The person Tongtong likes, of course Tongtong will be with him. If the emperor disagrees, does he not love Tongtong?"

"Of course not. Maybe it's because your father thinks he's not good, so he disagrees. You see, your father is the most powerful person in the world. Everyone should listen to what he says, or he will be punished. You Think about it, your elder brother is also your father's child, but he was punished last time when he displeased your father. What will you do if you like someone your father doesn't like? If your father doesn't agree, just will punish you."

"So, Tongtong, if you don't want to be punished, you have to become stronger and make others fear you."

"Many of the princesses in our Lingyao Kingdom have married to foreign countries, and it is difficult to meet their relatives. However, there was once a famous female general in our Lingyao Kingdom who asked for a marriage in front of the emperor and all the officials at that time. The person she likes is together, and the queen mother hopes that Tongtong will live the life she wants to live in the future."

"Well, Tongtong knows."

It was only later that Chu Jitong learned that the famous female general of Lingyao Kingdom had asked for a marriage in front of the emperor and officials at that time, and the woman was also a woman.However, I don't have that qualification yet, and I still can't be with the person I like.

Chu Jitong clenched his palms tightly, and didn't know when his nails were embedded in his palms, but he didn't notice until his palms were gently opened by a pair of warm and strong hands.

"Your Highness, it's bleeding, I will bandage it for you."

Ever since Chu Jitong was injured in the frontier training, Xiao Yan had been carrying wound medicine with him, and now it came in handy.

Xiao Yan carefully bandaged the wound on Chu Jitong's hand. For such a small wound, Chu Jitong could feel the love from Xiao Yan's movements.

How much I want to tell others openly that this is my person, but I can't now. When someone proposes marriage to her, my heart hurts like a knife, even if I kill that dude, I can't relieve my hatred.Can the person you like be coveted by others?All be damned.

Look, this person in front of me grew up with me, has stood up for me, has a prominent family background, and has also experienced with me in the frontier and made contributions to the country. I also like her and not just want to possess her body , but cannot speak out.Perhaps, she knew it, but now she couldn't give her an honorable name.

"What did you call me before?"

"Tong Tong."

Xiao Yan raised her head and looked at Chu Jitong with so focused eyes, in those clear eyes, only Chu Jitong was alone, in the eyes, but also in the heart.

The queen mother is right, if you want to live the life you want, you must make yourself stronger. Now, if you want to be with the person you like, only by sitting in that position can you let her stay with you forever. by myself.
