crossing into bastard

The prince put all his thoughts on the business outside. The people who came to take over checked the account thoroughly. Each manager had several charges. The prince turned his face darkly and flipped through the account book in his hand. To understand the business, you need to be familiar with it in the fastest time. Yu Cheng was holding tea, standing beside the prince, and listening to the prince's arrangement.

The men all nodded respectfully, they were very loyal to the prince, they acted steadily, they were not conspicuous, but they were serious in doing things, and their minds were also flexible. Yu Cheng thought of Yu's family, and there must be a few under the eldest wife's hands. Such a loyal person.

The stewards were like frightened birds, and they noticed at the slightest sign of trouble. The stewards knew that something was wrong, so they went to ask Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin sat on the big kang by the window, and after listening to the stewards, she said: "The palace is still the prince's house." Forget it, even if you can fight for a while, you will not go against the prince, let alone make such a head at this time. Last time I was able to help you pass the test, but you did not find any evidence of your crime. Now that the account books have been checked, so the matter It’s all clear, even if you have this heart, there’s nothing you can do.”

The stewards said: "If Princess Lin Fang doesn't help, we really have nowhere to go."

"What you should ask is the prince." Concubine Lin said: "With the evidence, even if the old concubine is invited to come forward, you will not be able to keep you."

The stewards looked at each other and said, "Princess Lin Fang only needs to help us stay, and we will handle other matters by ourselves."

"I can't talk about this matter." Concubine Lin said a little displeased: "Everyone knows that the stewards who have problems are absolutely not allowed to stay. The prince is determined to drive you away, and if you stay, you will not be reused."

"We understand this in our hearts." The stewards said: "Princess Lin Fang has been rich and honored all her life, and she doesn't understand the hardships of us people. As long as we leave the palace, we are like mice crossing the street. Everyone shouts and beats us, and generations of people can't lift their heads. Come on, we are not doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for future generations, staying in the palace will spread bad rumors, but there is finally a place to stay."

Concubine Lin thought for a while and said: "At the beginning, you all knew the consequences, but you still did this together. Last time, the old concubine came forward, but she didn't stop the prince. It's useless for you to come here even if you have nowhere to go."

"As long as Concubine Lin Fang dares to help, we have a chance to stay." The old gods in charge said: "Just arrange some heavy work, not in the palace, but in the courtyard outside the palace, we have nothing to say .”

"Why are you so sure that I can help?" Concubine Lin stared at them and said, "You all have ideas?"

"I am dissatisfied with you, we have thought of a way." The stewards said: "Princess Lin Fang used to say that she is also the princess of the palace. It is for the sake of the palace, and she has wronged the position of princess. In essence, she is still the princess. You are the one who speaks in this palace. In this place, the old concubine is even more able to listen, if the concubine Lin Fang is willing to ask the old concubine again, plus your touching words in front of the palace, we have a great chance of staying."

Concubine Lin said disdainfully: "Let me humbly plead for you in front of everyone, you really dare to say anything."

"This is also a solution we have no choice." The stewards said without shame: "Princess Lin Fang knelt down in front of the palace door and interceded for us, not for us, but for the palace, for the prince. If people are moved, not only will we be able to stay, but also the palace will look at us differently."

"Presumptuous." Concubine Lin said angrily, "You really think I will obey your orders."

"Princess Lin Fang, we have boarded the same boat a long time ago. After asking for your help last time, we sent someone to give a gift to the Lin family." The stewards glanced at Concubine Lin and said, "You have a gift here too." , of course, no one knows about it."

Concubine Lin was shocked, her face turned pale, she twisted her handkerchief, and said, "You are threatening me."

"Don't dare." The stewards knelt down and said, "We have been in the palace for many years, and we have seen with our own eyes your negative actions against the palace and the prince. All over the sky, everyone felt uneasy, and they all found ways out for themselves. That's how we got to this day in a daze. Now the prince is happy to marry a male princess. This has become a joke on everyone's lips. We are away from home. I can't even lift my head up, if the prince has a queen, why are we like this."

Concubine Lin sighed: "Why don't you want the prince to have a queen?"

"The prince is noble, so it depends on who is born." Seeing the drama, the stewards hurriedly said: "Princess Lin Fang's birth is a direct descendant, we have put in all of our efforts, and we just want you to give birth to the little prince. , give us peace of mind, and we will use it for the little prince in the future."

Concubine Lin was a little moved. No matter what it was in essence, she was a side princess in name. You must know that the prince also has a side princess. Sit firmly in the prince's place.

The stewards persisted and said: "We gave you a gift on impulse. If this matter gets out, even if you jump into the Yellow River, it won't clear it up. We can guarantee that we won't tell it, but we can't guarantee other people."

Concubine Lin knew early in the morning that this gift should not be messed with, and it would be troublesome to accept it or not. Concubine Lin said: "I will come forward for your affairs, whether it will be successful or not depends on God's will."

"Thank you, Princess Lin Chou." The stewards nodded their heads and said, "In order to repay you, we have found the most powerful doctor and fortune teller outside, who can regulate your body and change your destiny, so that you will have many children in your life."

Concubine Lin's heart moved when she heard this, and said, "Is it all reliable?"

"Absolutely," replied the stewards.

Concubine Lin gestured to Nanny Wang with her eyes, Nanny Wang nodded, and stepped forward to send the stewards out. Needless to say, this matter is too clear, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts, what Concubine Lin wants is to give birth to a little prince, and what the stewards want is to give birth to a little prince. , is nothing more than staying in the palace. Sometimes, when everyone's interests are aligned, they can cooperate.

Concubine Lin sat and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to come forward, it was related to the Lin family.

Concubine Lin sent someone to the Lin family and delivered a letter. Concubine Lin kept walking around the house, and Nanny Wang waited carefully. Concubine Lin watched the sky getting darker outside, and Nanny Wang reminded Said: "Miss, it's time to go to the prince's house."

"I'm not going to pass today. Send someone to tell me that I'm not feeling well." Concubine Lin sat down, twisted her handkerchief and said, "Why hasn't my father heard back yet?"

"It's only two hours, it's not that fast." Wang Momo said: "Even if the Wangfu and the Lin family go back and forth, it will take two hours at the earliest. You have to give the master time to think about how to reply."

"I'm in a hurry." Concubine Lin said: "This time it's a risky move. Winning or losing is very important. If it doesn't work out, this palace won't be able to stay any longer."

Wang Momo asked cautiously: "Miss, do you have an idea?"

"Yeah." Concubine Lin squeezed her handkerchief tightly and said, "The Yu family can't get along with me everywhere. Those who can bear the humiliation and get along with each other peacefully are enough to be wronged. Now they still want to ride on my head. If they don't deal with them, I am always worried in my heart, for fear that something will happen that I did not think of."

Wang Momo worried, "What's Miss's idea?"

"It's useless to ask for help for the affairs of the stewards." Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine side is so ruthless, a pitiful person will cause you to be beaten, and I have no status in the palace. He has used ruthless tricks. I It’s better not to be ruthless, otherwise I don’t know how I will die someday.”

"Miss, don't act recklessly. Concubine Yuxi is not a simple person, and she is always a victim in front of everyone. If something happens, she will be really dumb and can't tell her suffering."

"Don't worry, as long as father is willing to help, Princess Yuce will not be able to stay in the palace any longer." Concubine Lin said fiercely, "I will make him suffer even more."

When Yu Cheng was having dinner, he received a letter from Yu’s family. In the letter, he mentioned that his mother was unwell, and hoped that Yu Cheng and Yu Fei could go back to Yu’s house for a visit. He also missed them very much. Send me a letter, please Yucheng and Yufei go to Yufu.

Yucheng frowned worried, Yufei knew the contents of the letter, shed tears on the spot, the prince asked Aunt Xiao to arrange for the princess and princess Yu to go to Yufu tomorrow morning, Yucheng didn't feel like eating, took a few bites, and went to Yufei's In the house, the two siblings were packing up what tonics and medicinal materials they wanted to bring back, as well as food, they packed a lot.

Yu Fei wiped her tears and said, "If mother doesn't have us, how can she live in the Yu family? Will the Yu family still support mother like this?"

Yu Cheng felt sore in his heart, and said: "We will not abandon mother, and the Yu family can't ignore mother just because of this."

"But Cheng'er wants to leave the palace, no matter how dangerous it is in the palace, it is better than Yu's house." Yu Fei said: "Can Cheng'er leave safely with his mother and sister, and live a good life? "

Yucheng was at a loss for words for a while, and Yucheng couldn't promise what he couldn't do. From the present point of view, he had to ask the prince to agree to leave the palace, otherwise he couldn't get out of this city, and even Yu's family wouldn't let them go. Said: "There will be a way at that time."

Yu Fei cried even more sadly, lying on the bed and said, "Can Cheng'er promise my sister one thing?"

Yu Cheng said, "Say it."

"Is it okay to leave here after two years? My mother's body can be delayed for a year or two. My sister just wants to let my mother live this life in peace. I don't want my mother to be in her last days. Worrying and terrified, eating and sleeping in the open and suffering, even after death, there is no place to rest."

Yu Cheng reluctantly nodded with moist eyes. Yu Fei cried bitterly on her stomach. Yu Cheng walked over and patted Yu Fei on the back, struggling between herself and her relatives. As for the consequences of leaving, if my sacrifice can bring about a stable life for my mother and sister, it would be considered straightforward.
