Lin Songren returned home with a very bad expression, as if he knew he had eaten a fly and couldn't spit it out. In short, he looked very uncomfortable.Back home, Lin Songren immediately changed his official uniform and went to Liu's house.No matter how this kind of thing happened, now that the rumors have come out and are spreading so much inside and outside the court, he will always go to the Liu family to plead guilty.

For the first time in his life, Lin Songren didn't step into the gate of Liu's house, and was directly blocked by a porter.The concierge also came back from the border. His leg was injured, and there was no one at home. Life was a problem, so he followed General Liu to the capital, trying to find a way out.

This concierge has a straightforward temperament, not as flexible as those in front of official houses in the capital.After he knew who Lin Songren was, his complexion suddenly became very ugly, and he looked very disgusted.Then he said that General Liu and Liu Junxi were not at the mansion, and asked Lin Songren to come back another day, just blocking people out of the door.

His expression was so sincere that it could be seen that he was lying.But Lin Songren knew in his heart that if there was no sign from Old General Liu, the concierge would not dare to do this even if he was unhappy in his heart.After all, Old General Liu was angry with Lin Jinwen, and he didn't even want to see anyone from his Lin family.

Lin Songren wanted to understand this, and said bitterly to the doorman: "Since my father is not here, I will come back another day. Jin Wen is young and ignorant, and his words are inappropriate. I will definitely bring him to his father to make amends someday. I just hope my father won't be angry."

After hearing Lin Songren's words, the concierge finally looked a little better.

Lin Songren bowed to the door of Liu Zhai again before leaving, with a very low posture.Lin Songren's deeds were naturally seen by the people who came and went. Thinking of the recent rumors, everyone who saw it felt that the son raised by the Lin family was really terrible.

After Lin Songren left, the concierge reported the matter to Old General Liu, and his attitude towards Lin Songren was quite agreeable in his tone.No matter what kind of person his son Lin Jinwen is, Lin Songren can still admit his mistakes.

After hearing this, Old General Liu's eyes sank and he asked the concierge to retreat. He was silent for a while in the front hall, then got up and went to Liu Junxi's yard.

Liu Junxi's courtyard was very quiet, and the servant girls who served him were very respectful when they saw his face, and there was still a trace of fear in their eyes.

Old General Liu went directly to Liu Junxi's room. At this time, Liu Junxi was lying on the bed recuperating.This injury was whipped out by Old General Liu himself yesterday, which is one of the reasons why Lin Songren did not step into the gate of Liu's house.

Liu Junxi is now extremely weak, sickly, and smells of medicine all over his body.The pain on his body was severe, and even the usual lively eyes were replaced by patience.

When he saw Old General Liu, Liu Junxi's eyes dimmed, and then he called out to his grandfather softly.

Old General Liu looked at him with an inexplicable expression.Liu Junxi knew that Old General Liu was very angry, otherwise he would not have let him kneel in the ancestral hall facing his ancestors and beat him fiercely yesterday, but he has no regrets about what happened now.

Old General Liu knew his grandson best, he seemed lively and thoughtless, and he was the one with the most thoughts.Back then at the border, a girl and brother with good family background and good conduct wanted to marry Liu Junxi, but after Liu Junxi learned about this, he knelt down in front of them and refused, saying that he would never get married in his life.

At that time, they also felt a little guilty, after all, they let Liu Junxi face everything at the border at a young age.In addition, he was really resistant, and there were small battles at the border from time to time, so this matter was let go.

Liu Junxi has never married a wife so far.

Old General Liu had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, his eyes were sharp, he looked at Liu Junxi and said: "It seems that you know very well what the situation is now."

Liu Junxi's heart beat a little faster from his eyes, but he still didn't look away. He lowered his voice and said, "Grandfather, has the rumor spread all over the capital now?"

Old General Liu snorted coldly: "Isn't this already in your expectation? Are you satisfied now?"

Liu Junxi pulled his mouth, because he was hurt by the pain behind him.He knew that Old General Liu was uncomfortable, but he did some things as soon as he did them. Even if he was asked to choose again, he would not make any other changes.

Whether it was out of selfishness or something else, he was quite satisfied with the current situation.Speaking of which, after receiving Xiao Rugui's letter, he and Old General Liu were a little surprised. They really didn't expect that the Wen family would put their ideas on the Liu family.

Old General Liu was quite stable. After analyzing the matter carefully, he felt that the possibility of marriage between the Wen family and the Liu family was not high.There may be other purposes for spreading such rumors from the Wen family.

The main reason is that the power behind the eldest prince is already great, and if the Liu family's marriage is added, the emperor must be the first to be dissatisfied.The eldest prince made a mistake, and the emperor could not pursue it from the perspective of father and son, just because the emperor was still soft-hearted towards Zhou Rui, the only adult son.

In addition, there is still no conclusive evidence to prove that Zhou Rui did those things. The most important thing is that no matter how Zhou Rui jumps around, the emperor feels that he can still control him.

If Zhou Rui clearly revealed that he wanted to escape from the emperor's control, then the emperor would definitely not want to.With Wen's family and Liu's family behind him, the emperor has nothing left.In this case, the emperor might get angry and directly depose the eldest prince. Anyway, the following princes are also useless. After all, the eldest prince is just taking up the status of the eldest son and adult prince.

He really pissed off the emperor, and the emperor really wouldn't let him go.

Of course, there are also Wen family who are really blinded by lard and want to win over the Liu family with their in-law relationship. This possibility is very small but cannot be ruled out.Old General Liu and Liu Junxi have various ways to deal with this situation. The most common and easiest way is to find a good monk and ask him to speak for Liu Junxi before the incident, saying that he has a hard character and it is not easy to marry early, etc. .

You can also tell the Wen family before the event that Liu Junxi has already married a wife and had children at the border or has someone he admires.It's just that this kind of statement is a bit risky. Although the northern border is far away from the capital, if someone wants to check it, he will definitely be able to find out the lies inside.

At that time, some things will look ugly when they are put on the table.

Of course, there are more despicable methods, General Liu doesn't bother to use them, and Liu Junxi doesn't want to use them either.At some point, the people who came back from the frontier are always purer than those who were in the mud, and they are more likely to be provoked by others.

But when discussing these things at that time, Liu Junxi suddenly said: "This method is not bad, but it seems too deliberate, it is better to think of a once-and-for-all method."

Old General Liu had a bad intuition, but he still asked if there was any way to solve it once and for all.

At that time, Liu Junxi had a light smile on the corner of his mouth, but the words in his mouth were very irritating. He said: "If there are any rumors about this matter, then just say that I can't get married. Isn't my grandfather at the border Have you ever seen brothers who have formed a bond and lived together for the rest of their lives? At that time, my grandfather would say, I belong to this kind of person too."

It was rare for Old General Liu to encounter something that made him change his face, and Liu Junxi's few words that were neither serious nor serious made his expression change.

Old General Liu almost enforced the family law at that time, he said: "No, you don't want to marry a wife, we can not mention it for now, but this kind of thing is not allowed."

"Could grandfather find a more perfect solution than this?" Liu Junxi didn't care about Old General Liu's objection at all, he said: "The words were passed down by Lin Jinwen, we always have to think about him."

Old Master Liu frowned when he heard Liu Junxi's words. Although he and Liu Junxi didn't say anything, they both tacitly agreed in their hearts that they would not reveal anything until the Wen family did nothing.This was also to protect Lin Jinwen.

The Liu family is different from anyone in the vortex of the capital, they can even be said to be outsiders and bystanders in a sense.As a bystander, you always see things from a different perspective than others.Others can always look at things more rationally when they can withdraw from their own interests.

Just like Lin Jinwen, in the eyes of others, he is a dandy with no brains, no brains in doing things, and acts recklessly based on the emperor's favor. He is an annoying existence.But in the eyes of Liu Junxi and Mrs. Liu, no matter what Lin Jinwen did, he never suffered a disadvantage.

It's just that the situation is a bit miserable. Looking at the scenery now, there is wind and rain all around.

As for the Lin family, when they were at the border, Lin Songren often wrote letters, always mentioning his guilt towards Lin Jinwen and the Liu family.At that time Liu Junxi felt that this person was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

When I returned to the capital, I found that everyone praised Lin Songren, mentioning his loving father who always loves his son.And Lin Jinwen is indeed too ridiculous sometimes.

After they returned to Beijing, they also secretly found someone to inquire about the Lin family's affairs, and found that Lin Songren was not greedy for Moliu's dowry, but returned it after Lin Jinwen got married, and Lin Songren's attitude towards Lin Jinwen was better than that of Lin Wenjuan many.

It's just that before they could distinguish anything from it, they suddenly heard another rumor that Lin Jinwen was the emperor's illegitimate son.Although the emperor had ordered that nonsense to spread nonsense about this matter, Old General Liu still heard some rumors.

This made him very angry. Lin Songren was very calm in this matter. He knelt down in front of Old General Liu and swore to God that this matter was not true.The reason for such gossip is that the emperor favored Lin Jinwen and was envied by the third prince Zhou Xiang, who babbled nonsense.

Seeing Lin Songren's resolute affirmation, Old General Liu took back his anger after all.It's just that after I sent the person away, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong.

Everyone said that Mrs. Liu went crazy after believing that her father and brother died in battle, and finally hanged herself to death.His own daughter still understands that Liu's temperament is strong, but now that she is married and has children, even if she is too sad for the sake of her husband and children, she will not go crazy.

The most important thing is, as a housewife, how could she know what happened at the border.Even if the Liu family were all killed in battle, why didn't the Lin family hide it, and who was talking nonsense in front of the Liu family?

If there is no doubt in the heart, there is no problem. Once there is doubt in the heart, problems can be seen everywhere.

But even so, Old General Liu still held back his temper.The Liu family is too popular now, not only everyone in the capital is staring at him, even the emperor is also staring at him, he can only investigate some things secretly, not openly.

What made Old General Liu even more complicated was that from the contact between Liu Junxi and Lin Jinwen, Lin Jinwen was not the kind of person on the surface, on the contrary, he lived quite thoroughly.

She doesn't trust the Lin family at all, and she understands the emperor's favor even more.And according to Liu Junxi, the relationship between Lin Jinwen and Xiao Rugui is by no means as simple as hostility on the surface.

Before the Liu family came back, Lin Jinwen had been standing in the wind and rain by himself, working hard to build his own power bit by bit.

Lin Jinwen's appearance was what he wanted people to see.They didn't see what he looked like in private, but he was definitely not stupid.

As for why Lin Jinwen behaved like this, Old General Liu and Liu Junxi had some thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't say anything to stop him.People have to leave a way out for themselves, that's what they did, and Lin Jinwen, who was trapped in the whirlpool, could naturally do the same.

Seeing that General Liu was deep in thought, Liu Junxi immediately said: "Grandfather, Lin Jinwen still thinks about the Liu family in this situation, so we can't stab him. Why leave a handle on things that we can solve perfectly."

General Liu knew in his heart that Liu Junxi was lying, he could see that Liu Junxi was talking about this idea.

Seeing that Old General Liu's attitude was a little loose, Liu Junxi pointed to the top and said seriously: "If grandfather said something that would not be rebellious, the emperor will have a few more years. After the emperor's [-] years, whether our Liu family will be able to retire is a matter of concern." question."

Zhou Rui, the eldest prince, is not too big-hearted. If he becomes the emperor, the Liu family will be wiped out sooner or later.

They also knew about the conflict between Lin Jinwen and Zhou Rui, and Lin Jinwen would definitely not want Zhou Rui to ascend the throne.Then there are only a few princes left, and now the fourth prince is completely out of touch with the throne, and there is much less room to choose.

Old General Liu and Liu Junxi once thought about this matter from Lin Jinwen's point of view. The best way is to support the Fifth Prince Zhou Kang.The emperor was old and Zhou Kang was young. Zhou Kang should have been underage when he became emperor.If Lin Jinwen had power, he could have completely escaped unscathed.

This is also the reason why Old General Liu finally agreed with Liu Junxi's absurdity but no one could find a trace of wrong method. After the court was completely stabilized, their Liu family could slowly and safely withdraw.

Because there are still many things that can be done at that time, it doesn't matter if Liu Junxi gets married a few years later.

But when things came to an end, no one expected that the emperor would suddenly intervene in such a way that he wanted Liu Junxi to marry the princess.Old General Liu scolded Mrs. Wen in his heart at that time.It's really despicable, even if Liu Junxi doesn't marry, he can't marry the princess.

Then the two sang together in front of the emperor, and heard the emperor mention Lin Jinwen's words.Liu Junxi knew right then that Lin Jinwen had made various excuses for him in front of the emperor in advance.

The most difficult thing for people to accept is not to lift up, but it can also be seen from this that Lin Jinwen doesn't want Liu Junxi to be the princess at all.

The matter was finally resolved in front of the emperor, but Old General Liu was still uneasy.After Liu Junxi had a fight with Lin Jinwen, which completely exacerbated the rumor, he couldn't help but still gave Liu Junxi a slap.

This is also a bit for the emperor to see, after all, the rumors spread like this.As the son of the Liu family, Liu Junxi couldn't do anything for the Liu family. Old General Liu wanted to save face, so it was reasonable to beat him up.It also reflects the Liu family's attitude towards this incident after it was spread from the side, and further confirms that the Liu family's attitude towards the protagonist Lin Jinwen in the rumor is very angry.

Liu Junxi was honest, knowing that he had offended Old General Liu, so he let him smoke.However, after Old General Liu beat him up, he asked the military doctor they brought back to treat him immediately.

Now that things have come to this point, the rumors are even more extreme than they imagined, and it seems that all the blame is directed at Lin Jinwen.Everyone is waiting for the Liu family and the Lin family to turn their faces.

They did wait, Lin Songren didn't even step in the gate of Liu's house today.

Old General Liu looked at Liu Junxi who was in pain but still talking to him in a good temper, as if he saw Liu Junxi who was injured on the battlefield and returned to the camp with a face of indifference when he asked the military doctor to bandage the wound.This made Old General Liu feel a little uncomfortable. Back then, when Liu Junxi went to the battlefield to kill people for the first time, he vomited in the dark when he returned home.

Now the young man who was afraid of getting blood on his hands has changed. Thinking of this, Old General Liu said softly, "Heal your wounds well, and I will take care of the rest."

Liu Junxi paused, and said: "Yes, grandfather. But grandfather, I am a little worried about Jinwen, and it is inconvenient to contact him at this time. I want to write to Xiao Rugui and ask him about his current situation."

Lin Jinwen is facing too many things now, and they need to keep looking for news.Liu Junxi suddenly brought this up, and Old General Liu didn't think much about it, and said, "The relationship between Xiao Rugui and Jinwen should be mentioned as little as possible, so as not to be discovered. It's not an extraordinary time, so you don't have to go too far." Worried. What's the matter, wait until you recover from your injury."

Liu Junxi originally wanted to say something, but in the end he only moved his mouth and didn't say anything.

After Old General Liu left, Liu Junxi lay on the bed and sighed deeply.He buried his head in the pillow, but he was thinking about Xiao Rugui.That man is so stingy, I don't know if he will be angry if he goes to see him after he recovers from his injury in a few days.

Old General Liu always thought that what he said to the emperor was a time for a pause, but Liu Junxi knew that most of his words were sincere.He doesn't really like men, he doesn't like anyone at all, he doesn't like men, women, and little brothers.

Before returning to Beijing, he devoted himself to the battlefield, and only hoped that there would be no war at the border and the world would be peaceful.

After returning to Beijing, he ran into Xiao Rugui while he was idle.He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Rugui at first, the first time he noticed it was when he and Lin Jinwen were in the restaurant, and that time he felt that the relationship between Xiao Rugui and Lin Jinwen was unusual.

The second time was in the animal room, when he was about to behead the beast with a sharp blade, Xiao Rugui asked him to back away with a little urgency in his voice.

He retreated, Xiao Rugui beheaded the beast.Someone specifically mentioned that Xiao Rugui was suspected of taking credit for doing so, but Liu Junxi knew that Xiao Rugui was not such a person.

To a certain extent, Xiao Rugui blocked the potential risks for him.He is a general, and a general who is deeply feared by the emperor.He was not allowed to bring a sharp blade into the palace, even though Xiao Rugui threw the knife over, even though he saved the emperor with the knife.

The emperor may have been grateful for his life-saving grace at that time, but when the emperor wanted to trouble the Liu family afterwards, he did not follow the order to assassinate the beast with a sharp knife, and it might become a murder with a sharp knife without an order.

No matter how many mouths he had, he might not be able to justify this, but Xiao Rugui helped him kill the trouble at the very beginning.When the emperor reprimanded Xiao Rugui, he didn't know if he saw this, and he didn't know if he was angry.

When Liu Junxi gave Xiao Rugui medicine at the beginning, it was only out of mutual tacit gratitude.It was only later that he found that the water in Xiao's house was more turbid than he had seen. His parents feared him, sometimes even wanted him to die, and sometimes flattered him desperately because of his power.

He even faintly heard that Xiao Rugui had something in the hands of his parents, and if he said it, he would die. Sometimes this handle could become a threat.And Xiao Rugui knew everything about the Xiao family, at that time Liu Junxi felt a little uncomfortable.

A thought suddenly arises in my heart that I want to protect someone.He is not young, and his goals are clear, and he is ready to follow his feelings when he has a feeling.

Xiao Rugui is a smart person, Liu Junxi couldn't help laughing when he thought of his teasing intentionally or unintentionally.Just as he laughed, he snorted twice, the back injury was really painful.

Liu Junxi felt that what Old General Liu said was right, no matter what the situation was outside, he should heal his injuries now.

@@@

When Liu Junxi was thinking about his bright future, Lin Jinwen suffered a lot of blank stares in the palace.Fortunately, Lin Jinwen was not a person who wronged him, so he ran to the emperor immediately and cried.It is said that there are sudden rumors in the palace. The rumors started from his arrangement of Liu Junxi's preference for men, and now it has become his dark and vicious slander. .

If the rumors continue to spread like this, Lin Jinwen feels that he is about to be attacked by people who don't know the truth.Lin Jinwen said that he was pitiful, and the emperor felt a little guilty when he heard it.

His original intention was to promote rumors, two purposes, one to let people know whether Liu Junxi likes men or not, and the other to turn Lin Jinwen and Liu Junxi on their faces.

Old General Liu's status is too important, and the Liu family is wary of him, since he dared to keep Liu Yi at the border, it shows that the Liu family's heart is not pure.It would be bad if Old General Liu had thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But who knew that under the rumors, things turned out like this, and all the mistakes were Lin Jinwen's fault.

The emperor saw that Lin Jinwen was really pitiful, so he gave him two days off and asked him to rest at home, ignore these rumors, and said that he would find out what was going on.

Lin Jinwen was also grateful for the emperor's light and meaningless words, and then took the opportunity to go home.He doesn't want to perfunctory the emperor in the palace at all, he just wants to go home to see Gu Qinglin, and give his child prenatal education by the way.

Back home, Lin Jinwen immediately told Gu Qinglin everything about today.

As soon as Gu Qinglin heard it, he knew there was a problem: "Someone deliberately mixed the water inside?"

Lin Jinwen took a sip of tea and nodded in agreement with what he said.

Gu Qinglin frowned, his expression a little gloomy.There were only a few people who stirred up the water, and he didn't even need to think about who it was.

What he didn't understand was why the Wen family would do this, and would it be of any benefit to them?

Lin Jinwen looked at Gu Qinglin's frowning expression, and he could tell what this person was thinking at a glance, so he smiled in a low voice and said: "The water in this palace is very deep, and I have offended many people, there must be more than the eldest prince and the gentle Home shot."

Gu Qinglin said: "I understand how my grandfather behaves, he will not do something for no reason, there must be a purpose in it."

Lin Jinwen said indifferently: "Everyone's goal is to be in that position."

Now everyone is waiting for an opportunity, and before this opportunity comes, everyone is preparing for it, because they are afraid that they will lose completely in the end.

Lin Jinwen had a vague feeling that as Zhou Rui became more and more irritable, that opportunity was getting closer.
