Chapter 10

After Lin Xiangyao left, Yu Xiao announced to the public that Concubine Jing died of sudden death.But after Lin Shujiu knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, he decided not to go to the early court and resigned from the post of general. Yu Xiao understood that he was a parent and it was right to hate himself, so he didn't pursue his guilt.

As for the case of Lin Zijin's fake death, Yu Xiao's side sent people to find out who was so-called, because Lin Zijin couldn't make a replacement corpse by himself, and someone else must have intervened in this matter.On the other hand, Yu Xiao also hopes to find Lin Zijin as soon as possible, not only to give the Lin family an explanation, but more importantly, to see him with his own eyes, so that he can feel at ease.

Things progressed like this, and within half a month, the person who helped Lin Zijin escape was found out, and the fact surprised everyone, because the person who helped was the leader of the harem—the empress.

Xuanning Palace.

"It's been a long time since I've been here in Xuanning Palace, how is the queen?"

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, the concubine is used to it. The emperor came this time just to ask about Concubine Jing."

"It seems that the queen has admitted it, and you helped him escape."

"That's right, it's me." When the queen decided to do this, she didn't think she could hide it, but she didn't expect the emperor to find her so early.

"I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

"He saved me at the racecourse that day, and I just returned him a favor."

"That's all?"

"Do I have to have insidious thoughts in the emperor's mind to do anything? Your majesty knows that I have been in the palace for seven years, and you have never cared about me for these seven years. I know that the emperor is just using me The imperial court has a foothold, but as long as the emperor has a little affection for me, I will be used willingly, but you don't! However, what I didn't get in Ji Qiu, didn't Concubine Jing also didn't get it? In the end, I didn't end up being executed. If he really wants to say that he has any plans, it is sympathy."

Ji Qiu let out the words accumulated for many years, and reprimanded Yu Xiao for going too far. She loves Yu Xiao. From the day she entered the palace, she gave her heart to this superior man. She thought that as long as she did enough, she would Okay, let Yu Xiao take a look at him.Later, Ji Qiu gradually realized that his thinking was too simple. The people in the harem were changing year after year, with new people coming in and old people passing away. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, he had to become ruthless. But all of this is just to keep himself by Yu Xiao's side, so is it wrong?I'm just trying my best to love someone.

"Then tell me, where is he now?"

"I don't know, he was seriously injured that day, I only helped him get out of the palace, I don't know anything else, maybe he died somewhere.

Since she didn't want to talk about it, Yu Xiao didn't want to press her any further, so she had to give up.Indeed, as the queen said, I never cared about her, maybe it was I who turned the woman who could say anything and do anything with a smile back then into what she is today.The world is impermanent, who has the courage to retain the original beauty in the face of the years, such as myself, if I could ignore so many things outside my body, maybe my lover is by my side at this moment.

After Yu Xiao came back from Xuanning Palace, he was a little sad. What the queen said was not unreasonable. If he was seriously injured and left the city alone, how long could he last?Will it really pass away quietly in a place where you don't know?Yu Xiao didn't dare to think, the only thing he could do now was to continue looking for Lin Zijin, even if it was a corpse, he had to bring him back.However, Lin Xiangyao firmly believed that if her brother was alive, he should be alive.But when the time comes, if Lin Zijin refuses to forgive herself and vows to die and refuses to come back, what should she do?

one year later.

"Your Majesty, the recent turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River has been unusual."

"Oh? Tell me carefully, Ai Qing, what's unusual?"

"Before this, the cause of frequent outbreaks in the Jiangnan area was that the people were robbed by bandits. But this time it was different. Several officials in Suzhou were killed at home. According to the servants of their mansion, they were all killed by bandits. The killing has caused panic among the people, and hundreds of officials have signed a letter requesting the protection of the imperial court."

Yu Xiao and Dr. Zuo Jianyi were discussing matters in the Xuanzheng Palace. The doctor took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao unfolded it. There were hundreds of names written in it, and the names were stamped with handprints.

"However, I heard that some of the officials who died a few days ago had molested women from good families, and some had accepted bribes and judged cases indiscriminately."

"Even though these people deserve what they deserve, it's not up to bandits to intervene in these matters. What do they think of the court's laws? Didn't the governor of Suzhou manage this matter?"

"This……"

"Forget it, I will order people to go to the Zhongshu Province to draft a government order tomorrow morning to increase the intervention and protection of the Jiangnan area. I will investigate this matter carefully."

"Yes, the minister will take his leave first."

Yu Xiao nodded to Dr. Zuo Jianyi, and after he left, he called Qingyan.

Qing Yan is Yu Xiao's best martial arts and the most trustworthy guard. He has a stable temperament, so he should be more at ease when doing things.

"Qingyan, I think it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the matter in Suzhou. Go down and pack your bags and follow me to Suzhou. I want to check it out myself."

"Yes! The subordinates know!"

When Yu Xiao heard the admonishment doctor mention this matter, he always felt an inexplicable worry in his heart. Liu Dan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been acting strangely in recent days. A few days ago, he said that he had contracted a cold in the early court and was sick. He was absent for several days discuss politics.And when Yu Xiao sent someone to visit, Liu Dan refused behind closed doors because he was afraid of infection.Today I heard that several small officials died in Suzhou a few days ago, and I am afraid that the Ministry of Industry was involved.

"What a Liu Dan, he planned to go to the south of the Yangtze River."

"The emperor really wants to go in person this time?" Suian was a little worried.

"Well, in the imperial court, Liu Dan always concealed his crimes too well, and his crimes were never caught, but this time may be a good opportunity to punish him."

"You don't necessarily have to leave the palace, Your Majesty..."

"It's okay, Zijin hasn't been found yet, taking this opportunity, I want to find him myself."

Sui'an was still not at ease, after all, he had watched Yu Xiao grow up, and he already had the feelings of a family member, and he was afraid that something might happen to him outside.

"But this..."

"Well, there is still Qingyan here, so you don't have to worry too much."

Although Yu Xiao is both civil and military, born in the emperor's family, he had to learn martial arts for self-defense since he was a child, otherwise it would be difficult to escape countless assassinations.But it will be more convenient to take one more person with you.

"Then, take Biqing with you, Your Majesty, she used to serve Concubine Jing, she is loyal and can take care of your daily life on the road."

Yu Xiao couldn't resist Sui'an, after all, he had been the most loyal to him for many years, and Yu Xiao also understood that Sui'an was worried about him, so he had no choice but to agree.

Three days later, Yu Xiao drew up a decree and ordered Zhongshu Province to strengthen the management of Jiangnan. When going, even if only Qingyan and Biqing are around, there is no great danger.

When going on the road, Yu Xiao got into the carriage, feeling a sense of excitement in his heart.A year passed, and he didn't even get any news about Lin Zijin, but for some reason, Yu Xiao always felt that the Jiangnan party might be able to find Lin Zijin this time, without any basis, just a feeling.
