Chapter 94 The Wind Rises
"Besides, one of you is three years older than me, and the other is two years younger. What does the relationship between us have to do with the saying 'a loving mother has many spoiled children'?"
Song Zijin's face turned red. What's the difference between this and being caught flirting by family?
She stood up, glared at Xiao Linyuan, and ran to the backyard to look for Fu Yue.
Ahhh, she was led astray by this childish guy!
Xiao Linyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no shame at all, and was obviously enjoying it.
He slowly stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles on his body, and then went to the backyard.
He walked a few steps, stopped, and said with his back to Wen Yan, "Your father is your father, and you are you. You studied hard for more than ten years for yourself, not for your father. When you sober up, go back to the office and do your work well. Don't be listless. If you don't want to return to the Wen Mansion, you can live in this prince's house."
After saying that, he threw down a small sign and strode to the back kitchen to coax people.
Wen Yan slowly stood up, walked to the wooden door leading to the backyard and stood there, listening to the conversation between the two people outside the door in a self-torturing manner.
The woman is cute and the man is doting.
Immersed in their own world, they no longer see anyone else.
He laughed at himself, tears streaming down his face.
Dali Temple Minister Wen Lunjia had already been secretly bribed by Jiang Huaihai.
At Jiang Huaihai's request, he assigned all the personnel of the Dali Temple to investigate the Xiao Jin case.
Xiao Linyuan chose a suitable time and let the people from the Dali Temple "accidentally" discover Xue Sha's existence, and successfully presented the evidence of Xiao Jin's collusion with the enemy to the emperor.
Emperor Guangxi was already seriously ill, and when he saw the evidence, he vomited blood and fainted.
When Xiao Jin contacted Xuan Yushang, Xuesha's father, it was with his consent. If the matter gets out of hand, the consequences will be disastrous...
Jiang Huaihai and Wen Lunjia were in a dilemma. Emperor Guangxi was unconscious and there was no imperial order. Should they arrest Xiao Jin or not?
It became a stalemate for a while.
Just when the two of them were frowning, Jiang Huaihai received an invitation.
——
Tianxiang Pavilion private room.
Jiang Huaihai stood outside the private room and hesitated for a long time before pushing open the carved wooden door and walking in.
When Jiang Huaihai saw the person sitting in the main seat, his expression became complicated.
"Please take a seat, Prime Minister." Xiao Linyuan lifted his sleeves and made a gesture of invitation.
Jiang Huaihai didn't move, squinting his eyes, "King Jinyue is actually awake."
It's really a disaster that will last for thousands of years.
It can’t be killed by poison or witchcraft. Could it be that a thousand-year-old fox really has nine lives?
Just when he was about to get rid of Xiao Jin, Xiao Linyuan popped up. Could it be that people with the surname Xiao are his nemesis?
If Xiao Jin is compared to a poisonous snake, Xiao Linyuan is a tiger, and there is always a mountain to climb.
"Yes, God has mercy on me. I am not destined to die."
"Haha, could it be that King Jinyue wants to avenge your half-brother? Don't forget, you were in a coma for three months, and it was all your half-brother's fault."
"Prime Minister, there is no need to sow discord. This prince and Xiao Jin are sworn enemies. I came here today to join forces with you."
Jiang Huaihai became interested and sat down with a cold face, "King Jinyue is probably not a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken."
Xiao Linyuan smiled, "Since you are so wary of me, it seems the Prime Minister also remembers the little trick he used against me in secret."
"..." Jiang Huaihai's face froze. "If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. I am only respecting the king's orders."
If these words were heard by Emperor Guangxi, he would surely be so angry that he would jump up from the dragon bed.
Xiao Linyuan remained silent on this, "Today, I have invited the Prime Minister here, not to argue about who is right or wrong, but to shake hands with the Prime Minister and discuss important matters together."
In terms of power in the court, he is a little weak, but this fool in front of him has been running the court for three years and has a deep foundation, so he still needs to make use of it.
"Oh? How to cooperate?" Jiang Huaihai's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty is in such poor health, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to recover. The throne will belong to the Crown Prince sooner or later. How about we join forces and support the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, with Concubine Jiang as the sole Empress Dowager, and the Prime Minister remaining the Emperor's father-in-law?"
"Oh? Then what conditions does the prince want?"
Xiao Linyuan took a sip of tea and said, "I will be the regent, and you must arrest Xiao Jin and bring him to justice tomorrow. In the name of the emperor, you must redress Song Ze's wrongdoing."
Of course Jiang Huaihai didn't want to!
He also wanted to be in a position second only to the emperor, but when he thought about the 150,000 Xiao family soldiers in the hands of the other party, Jiang Huaihai backed off.
Although there are 100,000 imperial guards, the control is not in his hands, not to mention that there are 50,000 sent to the border.
Since Xiao Linyuan dared to meet him here, he must have made all the necessary preparations.
If you don’t support the crown prince, it can be the newly born prince. Military power is the only iron fist.
"make a deal."
——
Before the morning mist dissipated, people from the Dali Temple had surrounded the Xiao Mansion tightly.
But when he kicked open the bedroom door, he saw Zeng Yuanshuang, who had been drugged and made mute, tied up on the bed.
When the 800-mile urgent pursuit order was issued from the city gate, the real Xiao Jin had already disguised himself as a salt merchant and went south along the canal.
Ruifengyuan.
Wang Ge hurried to the main house, "Your Majesty, Xiao Jin ran away!"
"What!" Xiao Linyuan lifted the bead curtain and came out with a frown on his face.
Wang Ge looked up and thought, at least put on his pajamas properly, they were just hanging there.
There are several red marks on the chest. Could it be that my prince is the one below?
Bah, it’s already this time and you still have time to think about these things that are not suitable for children.
"When the Dali Temple arrived, Xiao Jin had already fled. Zeng Yuanshuang, who served him, had been given a mute drug and was half-dead. According to Zeng Yuanshuang's testimony, Xiao Jin woke up yesterday afternoon and someone was helping him. Zeng Yuanshuang must have hated Xiao Jin so much that she was trembling as she walked. She also insisted on leading the Dali Temple to find all the evidence in the mansion that could prove Xiao Jin's guilt. Furthermore, there was a pool of blood in the room. According to Zeng Yuanshuang, she broke Xiao Jin's leg..."
Xiao Linyuan's complexion did not improve.
Xiao Jin is like a grasshopper in autumn, and can only jump for a few days.
But Xiao Jin hated him and Zijin so much that he wouldn't let them have an easy time in the capital.
His face was tense. "Strengthen the defense of the palace these days. Zijin is not allowed to leave the palace without my order."
"But the girl doesn't like being confined..." Wang Ge said worriedly, "Besides, we can send a few more guards to protect her."
Xiao Linyuan shook his head. This was not what he was worried about. "Do as I say."
"yes!"
A soft, delicate sound like a kitten came from the inner bedroom. Xiao Linyuan's ears moved, and he quickly drove Wang Ge away and strode into the inner bedroom.
Song Zijin pulled Gao Jin's quilt over his head and face. It seemed like he hadn't slept for long. How come it was already dawn?
Xiao Linyuan's voice came through the cloth muffled: "Little lazy cat, still sleeping."
Hearing this, Song Zijin stretched out a jade foot from under the quilt and kicked him on the thigh.
It's all his fault, he has no self-control!
Xiao Linyuan was quick to grab her feet and put them in his arms. "You don't sleep well and always kick the quilt. That's why your feet are so cold."
Song Zijin pulled the quilt down to cover the part below her nose, and glared at him with misty eyes.
"Maybe it's because my period is coming, that's why it's cold."
She retracted her legs, but failed, and accidentally tore open his pajamas from his chest, and the teeth marks on his collarbone were clearly visible.
"rash!"
