Chapter 910: The Death of My General Was No Accident

Mo Jinchuan's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were calm. "My nephew knows that he does not have the ability to govern a country and is not up to the task. I ask my aunt to choose someone with both ability and virtue."

Princess Huayang: "Jinchuan, are you trying to say that I was wrong?"

She picked up a box beside her and handed it to Mo Jinchuan, saying, "This contains the orchid jade hairpin that your father specially asked a skilled craftsman to make for me when I was first canonized as the eldest princess. He said he hoped that I could be as virtuous as the orchid.

Orchids are elegant and quiet, and they don't fight or compete with each other. I think they are more suitable for you, Princess Jin.

Today I would like to offer you flowers as a wedding gift for you two. I hope you two will not find it too shabby."

Mo Jinchuan didn't reach out to take it, and said in a cold voice: "Aunt, don't involve innocent people."

"Innocent?" Princess Huayang chuckled, "Jinchuan, when did you become so naive?

Ever since she decided to divorce Lin Tingfeng and hook up with you, she should have been prepared to be dragged into this. How can she be innocent?

She met Mo Jinchuan's angry eyes and said coldly, "Don't blame me for being cruel. I have given her the opportunity to choose, more than once.

If it were someone else, I wouldn't have that much patience."

Looking at the face that resembled Emperor Xuande but was much younger than him, Princess Huayang couldn't help but sigh: "Of all my brother's children, you are the one who looks most like him when he was young.

Jinchuan, don't let your father down, and don't let your aunt down."

Unable to refuse easily, she thrust the carved wooden box into Mo Jinchuan's hands and said with a faint smile, "Jinchuan, help me take this thing to the girl from the Song family.

Don't forget to tell her that I am very satisfied with her as my niece-in-law."

Mo Jinchuan clenched the brocade box in his hand and responded coldly.

Seeing this, Princess Huayang was not annoyed. She just sighed and said, "Go ahead. This will save the girl from the Yan family from worrying about you."

She ordered through the curtain, "Stop the car."

"The old woman let you back so easily?" Xi Lin looked Mo Jinchuan up and down, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Seeing Song Yanxi's worried look, he said, "Look how nervous you are, it's been less than half an hour in total.

After all, she is his aunt, she can’t eat him.”

Song Yanxi: "If that's the case, why was Doctor Xi so uneasy just now?"

Xi Lin blurted out, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not feeling uneasy at all. It's obviously because the bench in this carriage is too hard on my butt. It's not comfortable at all."

As he spoke, he patted the cushion beside him heavily. The soft and elastic feeling made him twitch his lips.

Otherwise, everyone would dream of climbing up the social ladder. Even the cushions used to support the buttocks in the carriage of the Princess's Mansion were made of the finest brocade.

You don’t have to guess what’s underneath is made of new cotton that was just harvested this year.

When he was practicing medicine in the border military camp, he was a general in the army. Every winter he wore a winter robe made of refurbished old cotton.

As for the officers and soldiers below, the clothes they were given were old cotton-padded jackets that had been refurbished countless times and were no longer warm enough.

Even so, there are still some people who can't even get one, and have to endure the winter wearing spring or autumn clothes.

It really proves the saying that while the rich have wine and meat, there are people freezing to death on the streets.

Sooner or later he will fight with these powerful people!

Xi Lin gritted his teeth in anger when he suddenly heard Liu Shan, who was sitting beside him, speak up. "Your Highness, is the noble lady sitting in the carriage up ahead Princess Huayang?"

Seeing Mo Jinchuan nod, he asked again: "Is the girl following the carriage called Yun Que?"

Xi Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You even know this?"

Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he said bluntly, "Yu Que has been with my aunt for over twenty years and is her most trusted maid."

Hearing this, Liu Shan couldn't help but murmur, "It matches, it all matches."

He didn't care that he was still in the carriage. He knelt down in front of Mo Jinchuan and kowtowed three times.

Xi Lin hurriedly reached out to help, but was pushed away by Liu Shan.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, the death of my general may be related to the eldest princess. Please make a decision for him."

Mo Jinchuan's face darkened. "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Liu Shan nodded quickly, raised his hand to the top of his head and said, "Old Liu is willing to swear on my life that my general's death was not an accident."

Knowing that these words were not enough to convince people, he made up his mind and said, "Four years ago, the girl named Yun Que was at the Zhennan Army camp."

Meeting Mo Jinchuan's inquiring gaze, he continued, "Old Liu saw with his own eyes that she entered General Lin Zhongquan's tent."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became strange.

Lin Zhongquan is not only Lin Tingfeng's father, but now he has replaced Xu Xiao and become the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army.

The Zhennan Army has a hundred thousand soldiers and it is indispensable for them to mobilize the commander-in-chief's orders and military tokens.

In the past, the army only recognized Xu Xiao, and now that he is dead, naturally some people can't wait to find another way out.

If Lin Zhongquan is really Princess Huayang's man, the army under his command will be her best help.

Xi Lin realized it later and looked at Mo Jinchuan and said, "No wonder you asked An Yi... for this matter."

He was a little annoyed and couldn't help asking, "When did you find out? Why didn't you tell us?"

Mo Jinchuan: "It was just speculation before."

"That's impossible." Xi Lin's eyes were sharp. "There's no smoke without fire. You wouldn't have gone all the way here just for some unfounded speculation."

He snorted coldly, his eyes almost rolling up to the sky, "You are such a protective person, how can you come up with such an excuse to deceive ghosts?"

Apart from him, he had never seen any powerful person who treated the secret guards around him as brothers for life.

Mo Jinchuan glanced at him and said calmly, "Huang Feng, one of Lin Tingfeng's men, went to the Princess's residence a few days ago."

Xi Lin was immediately amused when he heard this. "How could Princess Huayang really look down on that cowardly guy surnamed Lin?"

He thought of something and looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Don't be unhappy. I've wanted to tell you a long time ago that you can't choose a man with the same eyes as you would choose rotten cabbage.

People like Lin are not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

If he wasn't still kneeling, Liu Shan would have jumped up and covered his mouth.

Can you say these words casually?

It was only because His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Yong'an had good tempers. If it were anyone else, they would have kicked him off the carriage.

Noticing his look, Xi Lin gritted his teeth and pulled him up, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly. Don't keep kneeling around.

If you really want to help General Xu, just tell us what you have to say and don't hide anything."

"No secret, no secret." Liu Shan hurriedly shook his head.

He carefully recalled the details of that day, his fingers digging into his knees, his face grim as he said, "The day after that girl left the barracks, the general had someone pack my things and even crossed my name off the roster."

Mo Jinchuan's face darkened. "You can see clearly, it was crossed out, not circled."
