After the emperor's anger due to Zhou Rong's injury subsided, the final treatment of Concubine Xian was to make her contemplate behind closed doors.In name, it doesn't even mean the four words of shutting the door and thinking about one's mistakes, but recently, the concubine Xian dreamed of the Queen Mother, and suddenly felt something, so she decided to copy the scriptures for the Queen Mother in the palace, and talk about showing filial piety.

After playing around, Concubine Xian has gained a reputation of being filial.

Lin Jinwen only sighed when he heard the news. He could see that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Zhou Rui and Concubine Xian.But there is no evidence. On the one hand, on the other hand, Zhou Rui has many supporters in the court.Abolishing Concubine Xian is not an easy task. After all, if Concubine Xian has a flawed reputation, it will also be a burden to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rong's injury was finally determined to be that Fu Fu had a grudge against the emperor and colluded with the eunuchs and maids around Zhou Rong, and finally killed Zhou Rong with the mouth of a tiger.

The emperor felt a little guilty towards Zhou Rong, so he took advantage of the situation and made Zhou Rong King Su.This is the first of several princes to be crowned king. Normally, Zhou Rong would be envied and hated by others, but now everyone can't say a word about him being crowned king.Later, the emperor thought of Zhou Rong's miserable state, felt that the title of king was not enough, and finally asked for a gift to give him a fief. The fief is in the south of the border, which is quite a fertile land.It's just waiting for Zhou Rong to become a king in Biannan when he becomes an adult.

The emperor's decision was naturally opposed by some people, who said that the fiefdom violated the ancestral system.It is not unreasonable for those who oppose it to be worried. After the death of Taizu, during the Taizong period, because Taizu's sons had so many lands, each of them had a fief, and they became kings on their own. It was once almost killing Taizong in the temple.

It took Taizong ten years to quell the war, and since Taizong, there has been no theory of conferring kings and lands.The sons and grandsons of the dragon who did not become emperors were all tied up in the capital as idlers, walking around the palace during festivals.As for the royal bloodlines being too thin, some of them are forgotten by others, and some of them don't think they are royals anymore, and they have to run back and forth for their livelihood.

The emperor was well aware of why these people objected, but Zhou Rong's arm had been disabled, and he was doomed to be like this in his life, so he always had to think more about Zhou Rong.He can still protect Zhou Rong now, but when Zhou Rui sits on the throne after his death, he might not be able to accommodate Zhou Rong anymore.

In the end, although the emperor didn't find any definite evidence to prove that Zhou Rui and others did it, he still didn't get over that hurdle in his heart, and always felt that Zhou Rui would harm Zhou Rong.

I just want to think about it, he can't say this, and he can't ask the ministers bluntly how he will plot rebellion in the future without an arm.So the emperor asked Zhou Rui what he thought, whether it was feasible or not.

Zhou Rui was taken aback by the emperor's question, and then he said cautiously: "The decision that the emperor has made is naturally feasible." Zhou Rui thought so, the emperor now intends to give Zhou Rong face, he naturally wants to supported.Otherwise, the emperor would definitely think that he was the murderer who framed Zhou Rong, and if he agreed, the emperor's suspicion of him would definitely be less.

The emperor was very satisfied with Zhou Rong's answer. Old Mrs. Wen was in the middle of the group of officials, and one word came to mind: Stupid.But let's not talk about the troubles caused by Zhou Rong's conferring the king a fief, just say that Zhou Rui's current performance reveals a guilty conscience all over his body.

If Zhou Rui was really smart, he should say that the fourth prince's fief is too remote, and he was injured again, so it would be better to designate some more land for him in the suburbs of the capital, so that it will be easier for him to meet the emperor in the future.In the end, Zhou Rui was fine, he didn't even refute the emperor's words, and agreed directly.

Zhou Rui naturally didn't know what Old Master Wen was thinking.Anyway, in his opinion, Zhou Rong was not destined for the throne, which was exactly what he wanted.

Lin Jinwen watched all this coldly. Sometimes when he was bored, he would even think about what the palace would look like if the emperor had several grown sons.After thinking about it, Lin Jinwen felt that it should still be bad.

With so few adult sons, the emperor was worried about this and that. If there were more adult sons, the emperor would feel that everyone wanted to sit in his position, and he would not be able to sleep well every night.Some people may say that the emperor is suspicious, and it would be good to appoint a prince early.

But the emperor didn't want to, he obviously wanted to train Zhou Rui, but he still wanted to hang a carrot in front of the donkey's face. He just hung him, but he didn't intend to establish a prince.Now Zhou Rui and the crown prince are only one title away, at least on the surface, no one can compete with Zhou Rui.

But the emperor just won't let go of this name, making people wonder what he wants to do.

Of course, the throne does not mean that the establishment of a prince can resolve disputes.Throughout history, few who were crowned princes could become emperors, and they were all pulled down.There are also some lucky ones who finally ascended to the throne smoothly, but they are very few in the end.

If there is a throne and a prince, there will be competition.There are three thousand women in the harem, each with their own thoughts, who doesn't want to sit in the highest position and become the envy of everyone?

As long as one is born in the royal family, these competitions cannot be avoided.

Lin Jinwen felt that the emperor had a whole body of flaws, he was reluctant to bear power, and at certain times he was too stubborn.Knowing that Zhou Rui is narrow-minded and cannot be reused, she endured him again and again.

It's better to stop the loss in time and completely abandon Zhou Rui.After all, the emperor was still selfish, cold and conceited.

But Lin Jinwen could only think about these things in his mind, and he could only watch and listen to what the emperor was going to do.

Things happen every day in the capital, Zhou Rong was injured by a tiger and broke his arm, and it soon became a thing of the past. Occasionally, one or two people mentioned it and only sighed that Zhou Rong was pitiful.

In the eyes of outsiders, this matter is over, but to Zhou Rong, it is indeed a lifelong injury.No matter how much the emperor rewarded him, he couldn't get his arm back. Zhou Rong suddenly experienced such an experience, and his whole person changed, becoming vicious.He would get angry at the people who served him at every turn, and no one in the palace dared to provoke him for a while.

This day, Zhou Rongyi's maid who changed his dressing was too aggressive, she wanted to pull him out and stick him to death.When Concubine Liu Gui heard about this, she frowned and walked over impatiently.She had never thought of having an heir around her, Zhou Rong was given to her by the emperor, and she didn't have much affection for Zhou Rong.These days Zhou Rong has been making noise at her place, and she got a headache from hearing it.

When Liu Guifei passed by, the maid was being held down and beaten. Concubine Liu ordered the maid to be released, and then she went into the room to see Zhou Rong.

The windows in Zhou Rong's room were all covered by curtains, since he was injured, he didn't want to go out, and he didn't want to see the sun, so he just stayed on the bed all day.

The day in the house was as gloomy as the night.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Liu Gui said, "Open all the windows."

Zhou Rong naturally refused, and the people around did not dare to move, Concubine Liu Gui frowned and said: "Why, what I said is useless?"

The palace people saw that Concubine Liu Gui was really angry, and hurried forward to pull the curtain.Zhou Rong suddenly got off the bed as if going crazy, Concubine Liu Gui sternly said: "Take the fourth prince and make him not move."

Zhou Rong was held back by someone, he cried, and said in a bitter voice: "Imperial Concubine, don't let them tear it down, don't let them touch these things."

He cried miserably, Concubine Liu Gui was unmoved.After all the curtains in the house were torn down, the windows were completely opened, and the room became brighter.

Zhou Rong wanted to run back to the bed with a groan, but he was suppressed and couldn't move no matter what.

In the end, he buried his head firmly in his chest, but still showed his dirty face.His hair was also messy, and he didn't look like a prince, but a miserable beggar.

"Look at what you look like now. If you want to wear away the last bit of guilt the emperor has towards you, then you can continue like this, and no one will stop you." Said with a sullen face on the stool that came.

Zhou Rong lowered his head and said nothing.

Concubine Liu Gui ignored him and continued: "You have been framed, then you should seek revenge on those who framed you. What's the use of you taking some court ladies and eunuchs to vent your anger here? If the emperor hears about it, he will only get worse. I think you are just an abandoned child who can't be reused. Every time the emperor comes to see you, you are crying and making trouble. You don't know the emperor's temper, is he the one who allows you to make trouble?"

"Is it true that there are fewer people in this world with less arms and legs? There are a lot of people who went to the frontier battlefields and came back crippled, and there are no more people with names at the border. Who can compare with your family background and status? According to your appearance, shouldn't they all die immediately? The emperor hasn't come to see you for the past two days, has he? Think about it, it's better to be self-pitying and disgusting here, or stand up by yourself."

After Liu Guifei finished speaking, she raised her chin to let the person who suppressed Zhou Rong let go, and she also stood up and left.

Zhou Rong still didn't raise his head, he let himself lie on the ground motionless.

After a long time, Zhou Rong touched his empty sleeves. The wound on his arm hadn't scabbed yet, and the wound still hurt a lot, but compared to the heart-piercing pain at the beginning, he could bear it now.But he was terrified, really terrified. Every night he dreamed that the beast was biting him.He couldn't avoid it, he could only watch helplessly as he was bitten to death and eaten.

These days, he didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that if he fell asleep, he would have nightmares again and again.

Concubine Liu Gui reprimanded Zhou Rong, and her heart ached.She has been suffering from a heartache for a long time, especially if she can't be angry.Once angry, this disease is easy to commit.

Wan'er, the palace maid next to Concubine Liu Gui, saw that she was a little upset and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this servant will ask someone to ask the imperial doctor to feel your pulse."

Concubine Liu Gui waved her hand and said, "No need to go."

Seeing her expression, Wan'er didn't dare to say anything more. Concubine Liu Gui seemed quite talkative and didn't like to take matters into her own hands, but her temper was also consistent.I think back then when she was in a bad mood, she turned the emperor away.

When Concubine Liu Gui was lost in thought, a young eunuch came to report outside the door, saying that the emperor had sent Lin Jinwen to deliver something to Zhou Rong.

Concubine Liu Gui frowned slightly, and said coldly: "When is it the guard's turn to deliver things to the harem?"

The little eunuch looked very clever, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is also here. The slave asked, and the Second Prince likes Deputy Commander Lin very much. Today, the Second Prince entered the palace to pay a visit to Concubine Qi, and the Emperor asked Lin The guards sent him to Concubine Qi's place. As for the things for the fourth prince, the emperor asked Vice Commander Lin to bring them along."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he looked up at Concubine Liu Gui and said, "Second Prince and Vice Commander Lin always want to see your empress when they come here. Does your empress want to see someone?"

Concubine Liu Gui lowered her eyes, she said: "Since you are here with the second prince, then let's meet."

Lin Jinwen actually didn't really want to see Concubine Liu Gui, he still had an intuition, since he felt that Concubine Liu Gui didn't like him, then he just avoided it.Fortunately, Concubine Liu Gui is the favorite concubine of the harem, and he is a bodyguard and does not often enter the harem, so the two of them should not meet very often.

As a result, the second prince came today, not only did he want to stroll around the harem, but he also made a special trip to Concubine Liu's palace.

Originally, after Lin Jinwen gave the things to Zhou Rong, he thought that Concubine Liu Gui might not be happy to see him, but she didn't expect Concubine Liu Gui to come out to meet him in person, which is really weird.

Since Concubine Liu Gui appeared, Lin Jinwen had to follow this rule to salute.Zhou An followed beside him, ignorant and not moving.Xiaowan poked him beside him, and Zhou Anzai greeted Concubine Liu Gui with blank eyes.

His movements are a little clumsy, but he has gotten used to it over the years.As soon as Xiaowan poked him, he knew he had to salute.

Concubine Liu Gui said calmly, "Second Prince, you don't need to be polite, get up."

Xiao Wan hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou An up, Lin Jinwen saw that Concubine Liu Gui didn't mention his name, and didn't let him get up.This was obviously to find fault, he didn't want to keep kneeling, so he just stood up behind Zhou An.

Concubine Liu Gui frowned, and Wan'er beside her said coldly: "Why is Vice Commander Lin so rude in front of the imperial concubine? The imperial concubine didn't tell Vice Commander Lin to get up."

Lin Jinwen blinked in surprise and said, "Is the imperial concubine meaning to make the next official kneel again?"

Concubine Liu Gui laughed out loud, her face was already extremely beautiful, such a smile was like a garden full of peach blossoms, scorching and eye-catching.She raised her eyebrows and said quietly: "Vice-commander Liu speaks differently, no wonder the emperor likes it so much. I have heard that in the veterinary room, it was Vice-commander Lin who proposed to run away separately. If not Suggestion, the fourth prince's arm may be saved even if it is uncertain."

This is to increase hatred for him. Concubine Liu Gui thinks that Zhou Rui is the only enemy he has, so she deliberately adds more to him?He said that he felt fine at the beginning, but Concubine Liu Gui hated him so much.

Lin Jinwen was really puzzled. Concubine Liu Gui had been weak in the harem all these years, she didn't show up often, she didn't like to take care of things, she didn't like power, and she didn't like doting.I've never heard that she likes to fight with those Yingyingyanyans in the harem, so why did she catch herself?Could Concubine Liu Gui have a grudge against him?

Lin Jinwen thought about this in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.He still kept the look of surprise on his face, and said with a look of embarrassment and surprise: "What does the imperial concubine mean, shouldn't the lower officials let General Liu lead the emperor to separate from the lower officials? Besides, the fourth prince was injured. It's not the medicine given by the officials."

Concubine Liu Gui didn't expect Lin Jinwen to say that, she couldn't help being stunned.

Wan'er took a step forward and said sharply: "Presumptuous, how dare you talk to the imperial concubine like that." Her voice was so harsh that Zhou An was startled, her face was terrified, and Xiaowan was busy protecting Zhou An.

Concubine Liu Gui lowered her eyes, then stood up and left without saying a word.

Wan'er gave Lin Jinwen a hard look, then quickly turned around and followed Concubine Liu Gui.

Lin Jinwen murmured softly, "It's just inexplicable."

Xiaowan looked around, fearing that Lin Jinwen's undisguised speech would hurt him and the second prince, so he hurriedly urged in a low voice: "Vice Commander Lin, Concubine Qi is probably waiting in the palace urgently, let's hurry over."

Lin Jinwen glanced at the second prince who knew nothing, and nodded.

After sending Zhou An to Concubine Qi, Lin Jinwen greeted Concubine Qi and prepared to leave.Zhou An was a little bit reluctant to part with him, and grabbed his sleeve with his hands, trying to prevent him from leaving.

Lin Jinwen's eyes were indifferent, he forced a smile and said: "Second prince, I have something to report to the emperor, so I will leave first. After you enter the palace, I will accompany you again."

Lin Jinwen's expression fell into Concubine Qi's eyes completely, and Concubine Qi's expression changed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.No one in this world likes to play with fools, they only bully such people.

But Concubine Qi didn't have the confidence of Concubine Liu Gui, nor did she get angry at Lin Jinwen, and even asked the palace servants to send her out with a very good temper.It's just that not long after Lin Jinwen left, Concubine Qi hugged Zhou An and burst into tears.Xiaowan also touched his tears, only Zhou An didn't know anything, and looked blankly at the weeping Concubine Qi.

Lin Jinwen ran away quickly when he heard the cry. His character was an incompetent and impatient dude. It was already good not to mock a prince like Zhou An face to face. Because that's too inconsistent with his status as a dandy.

Concubine Qi's palace is very close to the imperial garden, and Lin Jinwen was planning to return to the Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible, and he couldn't stay in this harem for a moment.

The identity of the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Forest Army is relatively easy to use. When Lin Jinwen walked through the Imperial Garden swaggeringly, many court ladies and eunuchs who passed by knew him, and some bold court ladies stepped forward and called Deputy Commander Lin or something.

Lin Jinwen didn't think about dealing with people in the harem, so he left quickly.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Lin Jinwen told the emperor that he had sent Zhou An'an back home without waiting for the emperor to ask questions, and specifically mentioned that concubine Liu Gui deliberately made things difficult for him.After talking about what happened in Concubine Liu's palace, Lin Jinwen said: "Your Majesty, is it because of the matter of the fourth prince's arm that the imperial concubine has any objections to the lowly position?"

The emperor was a little dazed at first, but when he heard Lin Jinwen's question, he said calmly, "You don't have to think too much, after all, Zhou Rong was raised under the imperial concubine's knees, even though he was not his own mother and child. Sin is also reasonable."

Lin Jinwen snorted, and said with a bitter face: "The lowly position should not enter the harem in the future, so that the imperial concubine and empress will not be angry when they see the lowly position."

The emperor hummed, not knowing what he thought of, his eyes were a little far away.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Lin Jinwen didn't say anything else.

That afternoon, Lin Jinwen left the palace early.Xiao Rugui stayed in the palace at night, Xiao Rugui's injury was not completely healed, but he insisted on entering the palace after that day.

With him coming, Lin Jinwen felt much less pressure.

When Lin Jinwen left the palace, Xiao Rugui took a break and said to him: "Can you tell General Liu that I am fine now, and I don't need him to send me medicine."

Lin Jinwen was stunned by Xiao Rugui's message, he said: "Liu Junxi will send you the wound medicine, if you don't like it, just refuse it."

Xiao Rugui's complexion was a little heavy, and he said: "I don't know what this Little General Liu is thinking in his head. I have already refused, but he still gives it away." The most important thing is that Liu Junxi never walks through the main entrance in broad daylight, but Suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

If he was courageous enough, seeing a person next to the bed suddenly in the middle of the night, even if he wasn't scared to death, he would have been scared to death, and he didn't know what was wrong with Liu Junxi.

It's just that he didn't know how to say this, so he didn't mention it.Now he just wants Lin Jinwen to help him persuade Liu Junxi not to do this kind of thing anymore.

Lin Jinwen saw Xiao Rugui's unbearable appearance, and said, "I didn't expect my cousin to have such a hobby of delivering medicine. I will tell him when I see him."

After hearing this, Xiao Rugui relaxed his brows and eyes. He hasn't slept well these days, and he only hoped that Lin Jinwen's words would be effective.

@@@

Lin Jinwen left the palace relatively early, so he bought Gu Qinglin an eight-treasure duck at the Ruyi Building.This eight-treasure duck was what Gu Qinglin suddenly said he wanted to eat in the middle of the night yesterday. Lin Jinwen originally ordered Sanqi and Polygonatum to come and buy it early.He was afraid that Gu Qinglin would still want to eat, so he brought another portion, and specially brought Ruyilou's special spicy yellow croaker.

Thinking of Gu Qinglin eating the drool in his hands, Lin Jinwen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When he returned home, Lin Jinwen faintly felt that the atmosphere was not right.No one said anything at the door, and no one showed up when he walked into the yard.

Lin Jinwen hurriedly walked towards the residence, and saw Sanqi and Yuzhu looking anxiously at the inner room outside, and Gu Qinglin's muffled groan could be heard faintly from inside.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinwen was a little confused when he saw the situation, so he asked.

Sanqi and Yuzhu saw that it was him, and hurriedly saluted: "Young master."

At this time, Gu Qinglin called softly again, and Lin Jinwen walked inside without even thinking about it.Yuzhu stopped him and said softly: "Young master, wait a moment, Granny Wang is changing clothes for the young master inside."

"Grandma Wang?" Lin Jinwen wondered, who is this.

Before Sanqi and Yuzhu could speak, Gu Qinglin and an old woman came out.Gu Qinglin said: "Grandma Wang was sent by my grandfather. Granny Wang has rich experience in delivering babies, so I can suffer less in the future." The most important thing is that Granny Wang is very experienced in delivering babies often.

Wang Po went up to greet Lin Jinwen, Lin Jinwen hurriedly asked her to get up, and said, "Since you were sent by your grandfather, you will follow the young master from now on, so that you can take care of the young master."

Wang Po answered.

Wang Po and others knew that Gu Qinglin and Lin Jinwen had something to say, so they withdrew.

When Lin Jinwen put the eight-treasure duck and small yellow croaker he bought on the table, Gu Qinglin suddenly said: "Thanks to the presence of Wang Po today, otherwise something big will happen."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jinwen was startled when he heard his words so serious, "What happened?"

Gu Qinglin looked at Lin Jinwen firmly and said: "I just learned from my grandmother today that my husband's dangerous situation in the palace that day was almost buried in the mouth of a tiger. Why didn't you say such a dangerous thing about your husband at that time? "

Today, Old General Liu sent Po Wang over here, but Mrs. Lin didn't say anything on the face, she was not happy in her heart.It's a bit too much for the Liu family to send someone to serve in the Lin family, as if the Lin family wanted to harm Lin Jinwen and Gu Qinglin.

But when the person came, the Lin family recognized it with a pinch of their noses.

Don't look at Mrs. Lin's unreasonable appearance in front of everyone, but she doesn't say a word when facing the Liu family.This is also true, when the daughter of the Liu family died in their Lin family, she always felt guilty.

It's just that as soon as Wang Po arrived, Yuzhu and the others heard some gossip. Knowing that those people did it on purpose, Yuzhu and the others still looked a little angry, and they couldn't hide it from Gu Qinglin.

After Gu Qinglin asked, Yuzhu opened her mouth and said that the house was rumored that Lin Jinwen fell to the ground when he was escaping from the animal house that day, and was almost eaten by the beast.

After hearing these words, Gu Qinglin shrank, her stomach tightened violently.

Seeing this, Wang Po hurriedly brought him into the room and rubbed him until the tightness in his stomach eased.

Gu Qinglin said these things in a calm manner, while Lin Jinwen felt guilty for a while, he said: "At that time, you were frightened, I thought I would tell you after two days of relaxation, but I was too busy these two days, so I forgot gone."

"Fortunately, I heard about it today. If the month is old and I suddenly hear about it, I'm afraid I will..."

Before Gu Qinglin finished his unlucky words, Lin Jinwen jumped up and interrupted what he was going to say: "Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Qinglin looked at him with dark eyes. His situation was far from serious as he said, but he still said so. He had to let Lin Jinwen understand the consequences of this matter.

It's fine to say that he is narrow-minded, or that he doesn't know good from bad, but he just doesn't want Lin Jinwen to hide too many things about himself, even these shocking things.As long as it comes from Lin Jinwen, he can bear it.

Lin Jinwen was also a little scared, seeing Gu Qinglin's solemn expression, he also reacted, and said: "I see, I will tell you all these things from now on."

After hearing this, Gu Qinglin's face returned to its usual calm.

Lin Jinwen said: "Let me rub it for you, I am the father of this child, he will definitely kiss me." After saying this, he had already started.

The child is more than four months old, and Gu Qinglin's belly is already protruding.When Lin Jinwen thought that such a small ball was pregnant with a child belonging to himself and Gu Qinglin, he felt it was amazing.
