Long Lin sent Ji Yunhuan to Taoli Village and then returned to the palace.
That night, Long Lin received an urgent secret report from Jinzhou, and it turned out that King Jin was not in Jinzhou!
The one who stayed in Jinzhou was just a substitute arranged in advance by the King of Jin. The princes from all over the country were not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, nor could they leave their fiefdoms. The King of Jin's move was tantamount to treason!
Marquis Zhongyong quietly entered the palace and went into the Yangxin Palace. His injuries had not yet healed, so the emperor exempted him from formalities and gave him a seat.
"Those who assassinated Your Majesty that day were not only remnants of the previous dynasty, but also bandits from Jinzhou. I believe that the bandits in Jinzhou have not been eliminated at all. They must have been recruited by the King of Jin as his private soldiers. The military strength of Jinzhou is definitely greater than it appears."
Long Lin flipped through the memorial in his hand. "I have long guessed that the people of the previous dynasty were not capable of anything. If it weren't for someone's help, they wouldn't even know when I left the palace. My dear mother, I am afraid that I won't die soon enough."
The assassination and the palace coup were both the work of the Queen Mother, but these were just his guesses. The Queen Mother acted cautiously, and without solid evidence, he could not punish her.
Marquis Zhongyong lowered his head and dared not speak. The emperor's family affairs were not something an outsider like him could interfere in.
The emperor just sighed casually, the most important thing at the moment was the affairs of Jinzhou.
"As long as the King of Jin dares to show up, I am confident that I can capture him. However, Jinzhou has 100,000 troops. If no one suppresses them, I am afraid that there will be a wave of unrest. Then it will be the people of Jinzhou who will suffer."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery coughed twice and suggested, "Everyone in the capital is watching me. Your Majesty, why don't you send the newly appointed Commander Ji? He never comes to the palace to guard anyway. He's unfamiliar, so he might be more effective."
The emperor thought this was a good idea, and immediately sent a secret decree to the Prime Minister's Office, conferring the title of General Jin'an on Ji Yun'an and ordering him to set off for Jinzhou immediately.
Eunuch Wei came in with a food box and placed it on the emperor's desk.
His Majesty has been in a very good mood these past two days. Today he even brought back a bunch of worthless wild mushrooms and insisted on watching the imperial kitchen cook, almost scaring the imperial chef to death.
His Majesty also wanted to eat grilled fish. He watched the eunuchs grilling it on the stove and then grilled it himself, scaring the eunuchs so much that they knelt on the ground.
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these are all the precious ingredients you brought back from outside the palace. You have been busy all night, please eat some."
Long Lin felt that tonight's chicken soup was particularly fragrant, and the mushrooms were even more fragrant. Huan'er picked them by hand, so they were particularly different.
After eating and drinking his fill, Long Lin rested in the Yangxin Palace.
He had a very long dream. In the dream, he lay beside Ji Yunhuan without restraint, and snuggled into Ji Yunhuan's arms. They were intimate and harmonious...
He looks like a cat, but also like a human being. Bizarre and yet so beautiful that it seems out of this world!
When Long Lin woke up, he felt relaxed all over.
Wei Kun came in to help the emperor get up. He found that the emperor's pants and quilt were dirty. In fact, it was nothing. Although he was rootless, he knew that all men would be like this.
It’s just that Your Majesty is really indifferent in this regard, and it has been a long time since he last did so.
The emperor left the palace again today.
Wei Kun figured it out. The emperor must have a beloved woman outside the palace. The emperor had been missing for a month. It was not difficult to imagine that it must be that woman who saved the emperor.
As for why the emperor didn't bring the person into the palace, he must be on guard against the empress dowager!
It was all the Empress Dowager's fault that the Emperor suffered from misogyny. Ultimately, it was a heart disease that could not be cured. The Emperor had never favored women, so naturally he had no children.
"Amitabha!" Wei Kun clasped his hands together and silently chanted, "May the Bodhisattva bless this girl. No matter which family she comes from, she must be safe and sound. It's rare for Your Majesty to have a close woman. If she can give birth to a dragon heir, that would be even better!"

As the sun sets, Ji Yunhuan watches Long Lin's receding figure, wishing he could pull him back!
Long Lin came almost every day, but no matter how she hinted, expressed it explicitly, or openly expressed her love, Long Lin would not touch her!
She had never seen such a polite man! He was not smart at all!
Ji Yunhuan didn't want to wait any longer. She couldn't just stay in Taoli Village and not go back. She had to add fuel to the fire for Long Lin!
"Shuanzi, have you finished digging the trap I asked you to dig?"
A ten-year-old boy rushed over like a gust of wind, followed by many half-grown children.
"Dig it! Dig it! Dig it deep enough. If a wild boar falls in, it won't be able to get out."
"But there are no wild boars there. Sister Huan, why did you dig such a big trap?"
"Do you want to put some wooden spikes? Or nails? Or iron pieces? I guarantee the wild boar won't come back."
Ji Yunhuan took out a large bag of candy and distributed it to everyone, and also gave them some copper coins. "Just dig it up, don't worry about it, I have my own use for it."
A group of children skipped away.
Ji Yunhuan decided to take Long Lin to the back mountain tomorrow. If she fell in, Long Lin would definitely save her. Of course, she would repay Long Lin with her body for saving her life. Although it was a bit cheesy, it was useful!
Regardless of whether Long Lin agrees or not, she will pledge herself to him!!
Take the fertility pill after sleeping to ensure the birth of a prince. Long Lin has no other children, so the eldest son must be the crown prince.
Long Lin finally arrived at noon the next day.
Ji Yunhuan could also understand. After all, he was the emperor and he still had to take care of state affairs.
Long Lin hadn't eaten yet, and Ji Yunhuan wasn't in a hurry, so she took Long Lin to the kitchen in the backyard to find something to eat.
I don’t know what Long Lin is thinking. He doesn’t want to eat the imperial meals in the palace, but has to come to her to eat leftovers.
The two went to the backyard, and only Wang Xiuping was left in the front yard. She was the woman that Aunt Ji had taken in.
Aunt Ji went to the farm yesterday. The medicinal herbs in the field were infested with insects, so she won't be back for the next few days.
