"While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains." Lin Jiuxi looked at Nangong Jing with a smile. The latter just smiled and said nothing. However, within a few days, the two of them joined forces to send a big gift to the general's mansion.

The emperor returned to the palace, saying openly that he would find the murderer for Nangong Jing, but how could the civil and military officials not know? In today's world, there are many people who regard Nangong Jing as a waste, but no one has ever dared to compete with him openly. The emperor is not satisfied with the advantage he has gained, and now he wants to warm people's hearts, but of course it is not so easy.

"Since he wants to investigate, let's give him some attention." Nangong Jing's fingertips lightly tapped the rice paper on the table. He didn't know if Lin Jiuxi had seen it wrong, but he always felt that Nangong Jing was a little cunning now.

With the news secretly spread by Lin Jiuxi and the other two, it was particularly easy for the emperor to track down the Rong family.

Inside the imperial study, the emperor's face turned pale and he laughed repeatedly out of anger: "What a Rong family, what a Lin family, they appear to be obedient to me, but secretly they go to help Prince Duan after getting some information. They're very good!" Although he said so, the porcelain cup in his hand showed a slight tendency to break. The eunuch beside him had never seen such a look before and hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. Rong Shi of the Lin family has no grudge against Prince Duan, so how could she help Prince Duan by mistake? The decree did not forbid anyone to tell anyone, and she is just a woman, so how did she know about it?" What he said made sense, but he knew in his heart that if Lin Weiyuan had not secretly given him a lot of benefits, how would he dare to risk his head to speak for the Lin family.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and rubbed the jade ring in his hand: "But the Rong family and Lin Jiuxi are incompatible?"

"The jailers in Yongxiang are vicious," Nangong Jing said from behind her, sighing inaudibly, "It's true that the Rong family is in danger now, but Lin Weiyuan is loyal, and the emperor has seen it. I'm afraid he will be suspicious of you.

After Nangong Jing finished reading, his eyes fell on Lin Jiuxi with a smile on his face, and even his throat couldn't help but let out a very clear chuckle.

She sobbed with a trembling voice, and the father-in-law was not happy to hear that. The General's Mansion did give him a lot of benefits, but those were also given by Lin Weiyuan. Besides, he also took care of the Lin family in the court. Why did Rong only mention their good things and not her own? Thinking of this, his tone suddenly became cold: "We are just following orders. Please go, Madam."

The eunuch looked at the emperor's expression and couldn't stop trembling. If he continued like this, he would become a tyrant sooner or later.

Lin Jiuxi laughed out loud when she heard that. She covered her stomach and laughed extremely exaggeratedly. After she finally recovered, her eyes were wet and she actually laughed until tears came out: "A madman goes crazy, can he choose the right time? I have never heard of anyone being able to cure madness."

She just found it funny. She thought her love for her lover was so deep, but who would have thought that they would run away when disaster struck.

If she knew that Lin Jiuxi was not a lunatic, based on her appearance, she would have been forced to enter the palace as a concubine. So what if she married him? As long as the person who deserved to be killed was still the emperor, he would not be able to act rashly.

"Your Highness, there's someone outside." After Xuchun finished speaking, she muttered in great dissatisfaction, "It's the second young lady of the general's mansion. She said she has something important to discuss with Your Highness, and she also handed over a letter of... self-recommendation." Xuchun seemed to think the letter was dirty, so she didn't hand it to Lin Jiuxi. Instead, she opened it and started reading. The more the little girl read, the angrier she got. At last, she couldn't continue reading, so she reluctantly handed it to Lin Jiuxi.

But if it wasn't Lin Weiyuan's instruction, then there is only one possibility, Lin Jiuxi is no longer stupid.

What is written in it is nothing more than a story about how she doesn't care about her status and is willing to redeem her mother by becoming Nangong Jing's concubine.

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. If he just disliked Lin Jiuxi, that would be too unreasonable. Not to mention that she was a lunatic, there was no need to bother with her. Even if Lin Jiuxi was now the Princess of Duan, Rong had stayed in that mansion for so many years, she should know what to do and what not to do.

This isn't a self-recommendation letter, it's more like a love letter.

When Rong heard what her father-in-law said, she had no idea that the emperor had such intentions. Her legs immediately trembled: "The general's mansion has treated you well over the years. At least the father-in-law should save me..."

Having said that, we still have to be on guard. The emperor's political achievements are mediocre, but he is not a tyrant. Since the people live and work in peace and contentment, they naturally do not expect unrest. But if the emperor intends to attack Lin Jiuxi, this unrest will naturally move forward regardless of the consequences. The reason is that Lin Jiuxi is of greater use to Nangong Jing.

"Go to the general's mansion and invite Rong." He emphasized the word "please" very heavily. The father-in-law's legs went weak and he nodded repeatedly.

As the emperor thought about it, his face became more and more unsightly. He was now the emperor, but he had to live his life by looking at other people's faces day and night.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Lin family is treated worse than a pig or a dog in the general's mansion." The eunuch responded quickly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

It was not easy for our family to preserve the General's Mansion. Don't blame us for harming the lady.

Thinking of the two possibilities, the emperor was in a panic. As for Lin Weiyuan, he certainly couldn't touch him for the time being, for fear of upsetting the army and alienating the people. But if he rashly attacked Lin Jiuxi, he was afraid that others would laugh at him and call him a lunatic.

When Lin Jiuxi heard him laugh, her expression suddenly changed, and she threw the letter in her hand into his arms: "You can laugh, but Lin Luwan is clearly using you. Her mother is now in Yongxiang, and she has a heartless father. Even if she is a concubine, she can still be domineering outside. She may be thinking about driving me off the position of the main wife."

Even though she didn't like Nangong Jing very much, she knew what property meant. Since she was married to Nangong Jing and was willing to cooperate with him, it would be better for her not to let others interfere.

Nangong Jing looked at her angry face and felt happy. He waved his hand and grabbed Lin Jiuxi's shoulder: "How can I be such a beauty-seeker?"

The meaning is very clear. He won't see her, but Lin Jiuxi will.

"Xuchun, follow me to the front hall." Lin Jiuxi's eyes were slightly cold, and he was holding a thin piece of paper in his hand.
