Lin Jinwen tilted his head because of Xiao Rugui's words, with a puzzled expression on his expression.Before he could say anything, a smile appeared on Xiao Rugui's face, which washed away the solemnity in his eyes.

He said: "I know you are in an embarrassing situation, and I don't want to admit that you did it. But no matter what, I keep this kindness in my heart, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

Lin Jinwen looked at Xiao Rugui and said slowly: "Actually, what I want to say is that I did save you. Don't just say you remember this kindness, but say you want to pay it back. You must also keep it in your heart. If I need you one day, I hope you won't stab me in the back."

Xiao Rugui: "..."

Xiao Rugui looked at Lin Jinwen's appearance. He endured and endured, but finally he couldn't hold back and said, "Why did you admit it so readily this time? You didn't want to admit that it was your intention to do what happened to Old Qin Yushi last time. Save him. I heard that Qin Lao Yushi has been cursing you in the prison since he met you, saying that you are a fool, and a villain will succeed."

Lin Jinwen didn't bother to pretend to be stupid in front of Xiao Rugui, he said: "Can you be the same as old man Qin? Old man Qin is pedantic and inflexible, but he is not guilty of death. He won't meet me every day, in front of my face. Scolding me, I care about what to do like him. You and I are with the emperor and have contact every day. Since you suspect me, you will be suspicious of everything. "

"Since this is the case, why should I keep it from you? What's more, you also said just now that you can die without me this time. It doesn't matter if you die alone. Maybe the whole family will be affected. This is a god Great kindness, you should always be grateful in your heart. Besides, no matter how bastard I am, I won’t cower in front of a person who died once, and I have to be frank when I should be frank.”

Xiao Rugui didn't expect Lin Jinwen to praise him so broad-mindedly. He didn't know how to answer the words for a while, and after a long silence, he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your true colors? Let the First Prince fear you?"

Lin Jinwen didn't even change his expression when he heard this, and said: "Of course I'm scared, but the eldest prince and the others believe your words, but the emperor may not be sure. Aren't the eldest prince and the others afraid of me now? But what's the use, don't they?" Can you just watch the emperor favor me? As for you, to put it bluntly, what I am best at is to provoke dissension, and you can provoke me. Anyway, before the eldest prince and the others kill me, I will definitely let you The emperor will kill you and your whole family."

Lin Jinwen said such things very calmly, Xiao Rugui was completely speechless.

Finally, he looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I, Xiao, am not the kind of ungrateful person. This matter has rotted in my stomach since then, and no one will get a word about you from me." This means that including his family members, he will not reveal anything.

Lin Jinwen understood what he heard, but he didn't fully believe it in his heart. He half-truthfully said, "You don't know if your flag will fall so early, but for now, I believe in you. And don't call me Master Lin, it sounds too awkward."

Xiao Rugui smiled, his smiling eyes were bent, and he said: "No, no, this is the best. Isn't it rumored that you have taken my position? Now that I am back, I have to show something Bar."

Calling a person is the best way to reflect the distance between two people, even if it is on the surface, that is the case.Mr. Lin's name is neither far nor close, but at the current juncture, in the eyes of outsiders, when these three words are shouted from Xiao Rugui's mouth, there is always a sense of irony and ridicule in it.

He used to be a bodyguard Lin, but in an instant he became a polite Master Lin. If Xiao Rugui didn't have any thoughts in his heart, he wouldn't believe it.

Lin Jinwen raised his thumb and said: "High." After saying this, he pointed out: "You have made a big fall this time, you'd better be careful in the palace in the future."

Xiao Rugui said with a straight face: "I understand this, I was indeed careless last time, and that kind of thing itself touched the emperor's rebellion." If he was framed into someone else, Xiao Rugui believed that the emperor would not do anything to him, but Having an affair with the harem, the emperor would rather him disappear.

Now even if he is still the commander of the Yulin Army, the emperor has a thorn in his heart when he sees him, which is why he can't wait to talk to Lin Jinwen.Apart from wanting Lin Jinwen to believe in him, he also had some selfish intentions. Lin Jinwen had a special status in the emperor's heart, and one word from him was worth a thousand words of assurance.

He hoped that the emperor would not touch him, at least for now.

Lin Jinwen didn't care about Xiao Rugui's small thoughts at all, he said: "It's getting late, I should go back, you should also go back and have a good rest, your family will be worried."

Xiao Rugui nodded in agreement.

Xiao Rugui asked Lin Jinwen to leave first, and he left afterwards, so that it would not be easy to attract attention.Lin Jinwen didn't care who came first, since Xiao Rugui spoke up like that, he left first.

It's just that he never thought that when he opened the door, he heard Liu Junxi's surprised voice: "Cousin Lin."

Lin Jinwen raised his eyes, and saw Liu Junxi walking up to him with great interest. He was waving a fan, with a langlang smile on his face, and a handsome and romantic attitude: "Are you coming here for a drink too? Hey, inside Who is it, why did you leave from the window, looking at her back, she looks like a beautiful woman."

Lin Jinwen looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Junxi withdrew his gaze and said, "It's okay, didn't you come over to talk to you after meeting my cousin? My cousin is about to leave, I'll take you back."

Lin Jinwen lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "You don't need to send it, I have legs and can walk by myself, so why are you so courteous?"

Liu Junxi half-seriously half-jokingly said: "Why is my cousin so indifferent? I'm not just being courteous for nothing. If my cousin is willing to introduce that beauty to me, it would be perfect."

Lin Jinwen looked at him fixedly, the expression on Liu Junxi's face remained unchanged, Lin Jinwen lowered his eyes and said: "It's been a while since my grandfather returned to Beijing. I've been busy in the palace for the past few days and I don't have time to visit. Hugh, I went to visit my grandfather."

Hearing this, Liu Junxi closed his fan with a swipe, the smile on his face deepened, and he said: "Well, then cousin, don't forget to carry the pot of good wine, I will drink the wine in the capital these two days A lot, and it’s tasteless."

Lin Jinwen curled his lips and left.Liu Junxi sent him to the door of the restaurant, but didn't follow him.He looked at Lin Jinwen's leaving back, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Because of Lin Jinwen's delay for so long, it was already time to hold the lamps when he returned.There was a lantern hanging at the gate of the courtyard where he lived, and the dim light inside flickered back and forth.

Lin Jinwen looked at the candlelight, his eyes couldn't help but smile.

When he went back, Gu Qinglin was writing. Gu Qinglin's handwriting was completely different from his own, showing a very sharp edge.

Seeing Lin Jinwen, Gu Qinglin put away the written words and said, "Why is it so late today, did something happen?"

Lin Jinwen said with a bitter face: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I, a newly appointed official, was pushed down by the emperor again today."

Seeing that his face was full of displeasure, Gu Qinglin hurriedly asked the people around him to go down, and then he said softly: "The command of the Imperial Forest Army is cumbersome, so it doesn't matter if he is an inappropriate official."

Lin Jinwen raised his head and said as if looking for comfort, "You really think so?"

Gu Qinglin nodded seriously, Lin Jinwen's expression collapsed immediately, and he said: "Then what should I do, I was dismissed from the position of commander, but now I am the deputy commander."

At this time, if Gu Qinglin couldn't see that Lin Jinwen was deliberately teasing him, then he would be too blind, and he kept his face straight and didn't say a word.Lin Jinwen stepped up to him and said, "Why are you angry?"

Gu Qinglin shook his head and said: "That's not true. I was a little worried about you at first, but now I don't have to worry about it." After all, Lin Jinwen has exhausted his efforts to get the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army. It must be uncomfortable, which means that his situation has always been so difficult.

Now knowing that he is still the deputy commander, although the result was not satisfactory, at least the hard work he put in was not in vain.

Lin Jinwen fully understood what Gu Qinglin didn't say, he looked at Gu Qinglin and said: "You are a real person, if you have something on your mind and don't say it, let others tell you what to say."

Gu Qinglin said: "You know what I'm thinking, why do you need to ask?"

Lin Jinwen was speechless for a moment.

After the two of them had their dinner, Lin Jinwen sent all the servants away. He dragged Gu Qing to the bed in the bedroom, and then told this person in detail what happened today.

After hearing what he said, Gu Qinglin looked a little anxious and said: "Is it true that Xiao Rugui won't speak out? And cousin Liu, has he seen Xiao Rugui? Will he think too much about it?"

Lin Jinwen patted his hand and comforted him: "Don't think too much about it. When you decide to face people with a fake face, you have to be prepared in your heart to be discovered. However, being discovered by Xiao Rugui is also within my expectation. He didn’t hide anything before. As for my cousin, I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I think that since my grandfather left my uncle at the border, he must have something in his heart. We’ll find out when we get in touch with each other more.”

When Xiao Rugui pointed a gun at him back then, his expression didn't change a bit, and he felt a little bad at the bottom of his heart.According to his pissing nature, his face should turn pale with fright.But Xiao Rugui didn't do anything to him afterward, so it was tacit understanding between them.

Gu Qinglin's heart was still restless, he looked at Lin Jinwen who looked calm and said: "I know you are in this position, many things are beyond your control, I will support you in whatever decision you make, but you must be careful .”

Lin Jinwen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have you and children, even if I don't think about myself, I still want to think about you. I want to live a good life, and I won't make fun of my own life."

Gu Qinglin nodded, and then slowly exhaled the breath that had accumulated in his heart, he said: "That's good."

Then Gu Qinglin talked about Lin Songren again. In the past few days after Old General Liu returned to Beijing, Lin Songren visited immediately.The Liu family also kept him for lunch.

This was something about Lin Jinwen's few days in the palace. Gu Qinglin remembered it clearly at first, but he forgot to mention it the day Lin Jinwen came back, and remembered it again today.

In any case, at least on the surface, the relationship between Lin Songren and the Liu family is quite good.

Lin Jinwen has been avoiding Lin Songren all the time, if this is the case, then he has to think about what kind of person he is in front of the Liu family.

Lin Jinwen pondered over this matter, and said, "Don't think too much about it, I'll take you to Liu's house in a few days to have a look."

Gu Qinglin hummed, as long as Lin Jinwen knew about this matter.

@@@

After that, the palace was calm for the next two days, Xiao Rugui healed up quickly and returned to the emperor's side.Before returning to the palace, Xiao Rugui visited He Fan twice, one was the first day after he came out of prison, and the other was before he returned to the palace.For He Fan, Xiao Rugui was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

He Fan's injury is still not healed, but Xiao Rugui has already comforted him. Xiao Rugui said that as long as he is the commander of the Yuling Army, there will be a place for He Fan in the Yulin Army.

For Xiao Rugui's blatant gratitude, Lin Jinwen could only twitch his lips in his heart, who made him stay in the dark now.Xiao Rugui is no less grateful to him than He Fan, but it's a pity that no one knows.

Lin Jinwen was thinking about his Muxiu days. He had a regular Muxiu at first, but the emperor, the old man, was in a bad mood recently, so he lost Muxiu.

Lin Jinwen didn't always rush forward, he knew that the emperor was really in a bad mood.The inside and outside of the palace are calm on the surface, but in private it is turbulent.

There are so many small rumors circulating that Xiao Rugui's being framed this time seems to be a mystery on the surface, but in fact it was the eldest prince Zhou Rui who did it.Zhou Rui originally wanted to install his own people, but before he could make a move, Lin Jinwen cut him off.

Lin Jinwen was the emperor's illegitimate son, so naturally Zhou Rui couldn't let him be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, so he personally found evidence for Xiao Rugui to prove his innocence.

Zhou Rui didn't earn half a penny, and even caused a commotion.

It is said that when Zhou Rui heard these words, he pissed off the servants in his family, and even sold out a few servants who had a bad mouth.

Of course, no one knew whether it was true or not, and no one dared to ask Zhou Rui if he really did this.

Lin Jinwen thought that Zhou Rui might really lose his temper in his own house, because he overheard the emperor say to Wang Jin'an that Zhou Rui has a bad temper, his vision is too narrow, and he is too soft-hearted.

Lin Jinwen understood the emperor's thoughts. When Zhou Rui found He Fan, the emperor was very disappointed.He had a feeling at that time that the emperor wanted Zhou Rui to confirm Xiao Rugui's crime.As for He Fan, if he is found after Xiao Rugui's death, he will save his life to vindicate Xiao Rugui. If he is found before Xiao Rugui's death, then let him be a dead person. Testify like home.

But Zhou Rui still brought the witness before the emperor. Zhou Rui couldn't see that the emperor had no intention of reusing Lin Jinwen, so he hurriedly brought He Fan out.He successfully prevented Lin Jinwen from becoming the new commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but he completely disappointed the emperor.

But Zhou Rui didn't know all of this in his heart, maybe Old Mrs. Wen knew it, but now Zhou Rui couldn't listen to Mrs. Wen's words at all.Zhou Rui had been waiting for too many years. He felt that Mrs. Wen had been telling him to wait and wait, and he was getting impatient.

The emperor was silent for a few days, and continued to acquiesce to Zhou Rui's supervision of the country.

One day the emperor met a beautiful woman who could talk, sing and dance in the harem, and his mood suddenly improved.

The emperor's mood improved, and he suddenly became interested in investigating the knowledge of the princes.Not to mention the First Prince and Second Prince, they are both outside the palace, so the Emperor did not inspect them.

The third prince, Zhou Xiang, couldn't read books carelessly. When the emperor went, he was playing with bugs.Zhou Xiang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.

The fifth prince, Zhou Kang, was in poor health and was young. He fell asleep halfway through his studies with his teacher.The emperor felt sorry for his young age, and didn't have the heart to blame him. He just sent a message to An Zhaoyi, asking her to pay more attention to Zhou Kang's body and let him sleep more at night.

In contrast, the fourth prince Zhou Rong is the most honest and obedient one.He listened carefully to everything the teacher assigned, and took notes if he didn't know it.The emperor took a look at Zhou Rong's writing, and reluctantly said: "It's not bad."

Zhou Rong has always been the most inconspicuous in the crowd, she is inconspicuous in appearance, and her parents are not inconspicuous either.Suddenly being evaluated so kindly by the emperor, his face and eyes were full of shock, even Xie En forgot.

Afterwards, the emperor didn't say much, and only ordered the teachers who taught the princes to work hard. Before leaving, he looked at Zhou Xiang, who was shrinking himself into a lump, and kicked him again, saying that if he didn't study hard, he would be punished. locked up.

Zhou Xiang was so frightened that he yelled and said that he would never dare again and would work hard.

The emperor strolled around and then returned to Qianqing Palace, and that night the emperor went to Concubine Liu Gui.When the emperor went, Zhou Rong was paying respects to Concubine Liu Gui. The emperor saw him and praised him sincerely in front of Concubine Liu Gui.

This was a trivial matter, but in the next few days, the emperor always summoned Zhou Rong intentionally or unintentionally to investigate Zhou Rong's knowledge, which made the atmosphere inside and outside the court inexplicable.

Lin Jinwen could see clearly what had happened in the past few days, the emperor was going to temper Zhou Rong after he was disappointed with Zhou Rui.Perhaps the key is that the emperor has no way to choose, except for the eldest prince, only Zhou Rong can be tempered.

Although Zhou Rong was not very conspicuous, and he was trembling when he met the emperor at first, but he spoke and acted very safely.With Zhou Rui in front for comparison, he is very popular with the emperor.

The eyes of the courtiers of the Great Zhou finally shifted from Zhou Rui to Zhou Rong, and some people even started thinking about it.Although Zhou Rong is not very old now, the emperor is still in good health, so he can teach him for a few more years.He has no biological mother, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, there will be no empress dowager in the palace to suppress him, so it doesn't matter if he is younger.
