After returning to the imperial city, Lin Xiaoman did not stop for a moment. The first thing he did was to go to the palace to report the situation to the empress, show her the detailed information he had compiled, and describe in detail what he had seen and heard.
The mother and daughter discussed from noon until the sky was full of stars.
When the show was over, Queen Huangyuan felt very pleased. Her eldest son had really grown a lot and could now stand on his own.
Inevitably, the empress thought of the annoying second brother.
Despite her image of just getting by, Sister Wang didn't find out anything.
Staying in the palace at night, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but chat with Sister Wang.
Compared with the south, the north is just a vast land with few people. Because it is so big, Sister Wang has only run half of the distance and has not found anything. She probably won't be able to come back.
Anyway, the empress said she was still recuperating from her injuries, so no one dared to ask more questions. It didn't matter if she didn't come back for the New Year.
Because he didn't have to attend court, Lin Xiaoman slept in. After waking up and practicing for a while, he was called over by the empress to have dinner together.
After breakfast, the empress said, "Now that he's back, let's prepare for the wedding."
Lin Xiaoman: Suddenly I feel like the breakfast I just had doesn’t taste good anymore.
During the period when Lin Xiaoman was secretly investigating in the south, the Ministry of Rites and the female officials of the inner court had already completed the procedures of accepting the betrothal gifts, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gifts, and requesting the date, leaving only the final process of the wedding.
At the instruction of the empress, the Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious day two days before the New Year, which was the day after tomorrow.
It was so hasty that Lin Xiaoman felt like a duck being forced onto a shelf.
Shed a few tears of sympathy for yourself!
After talking about the marriage, they discussed state affairs in the imperial study for a while, and then the empress let Lin Xiaoman leave the palace.
Lin Xiaoman took a carriage back to the Princess's Mansion which he had not visited for a long time. Then he just jumped off the carriage and turned his head to see the three wife-waiting stones.
"Your Highness..."
The three of them said in unison, their voices inexplicably filled with a sense of grievance. Fang Ke was the most outspoken among them. Her tone and gaze were definitely accusing: "You are a heartless and heartless woman!"
Lin Xiaoman: ...
She is in great pain and has a headache!
"I'm busy!"
When saying this, Lin Xiaoman inexplicably thought of the scumbag's quote, "I'm busy!"
He hasn't been home for three months. He really looks like a 'very busy' scumbag!
Bah, bullshit, she is really busy!
"I have something important to do, please go away!"
Leaving this sentence, Lin Xiaoman went straight to the study.
The three people who were left behind looked at each other.
"It's over! I feel like we've completely fallen out of favor!" Fang Ke's face was filled with resentment. His life of luxury was coming to an end! "What should I do?"
"If it's the rumored Second Young Master Su, we'll definitely fall out of favor, but Second Young Master Yu, I heard he's old and ugly..." Zheng Shuyan shook her head doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. Maybe His Highness is really busy."
"Hmph, being busy or something like that is just an excuse women use. They are just fed up and annoyed!" Fang Ke hummed aggrievedly, twisting the handkerchief angrily in his hand.
Falling out of favor is like being penniless, how terrible! No, he's going to make some chicken soup for His Highness and show off himself.
"It's human nature to get tired of the old and love the new." Zheng Shuyan sighed, feeling a little worried. If Yu Zhengjun was an easy person to get along with, he wouldn't mind living with him in the backyard. But he was afraid that this Zhengjun was a vicious person and would use some means to kill them!
"Ah..." Xu Youyang sighed in silence, his fingers stroking the jade flute he carried with him. Falling out of favor didn't matter. The key was that if he fell out of favor, His Highness would not give him any musical instruments. From now on, he would have no choice but to watch helplessly. Just thinking about it made him sad...
The three of them had their own thoughts, and after a few words, they dispersed.
Lin Xiaoman walked into the study and started writing a plan.
Being busy was definitely not an excuse. The Empress had already assigned her a task. She had to prepare for the wedding in the next two days. After the wedding, she would use the name of "marriage leave" but in fact she would have to go to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.
Who to interrogate?
Of course it was the inspector who went to the south. This guy has returned and brought back two corrupt officials who had been dismissed from their posts.
This inspector must have been bribed. As for the two people who took the blame, they might have been wrongly accused or they might just be petty corrupt officials. In any case, they were not on Lin Xiaoman's list.
She needs to investigate the details.
The empress said that she would conduct a thorough investigation before the New Year and then go to the south to deal with corruption immediately after the New Year.
Lin Xiaoman just felt like he was being treated like a cow.
Lin Xiaoman suddenly envied Sister Wang who was just there to watch the show. She could take a vacation so easily, but why did she have such a hard life?
Lin Xiaoman silently comforted himself: As the saying goes, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry... and make him tired like a dog!
Could it be that because she accidentally performed so outstandingly, the empress entrusted her with an important task and began to examine whether she could become the empress?
In the busyness, it was noon in a blink of an eye. As usual, we had lunch in the study. The maid brought in lunch and only served chicken soup at the right time.
Lin Xiaoman still stayed with the chicken soup, so no one came in.
After wandering outside the study for several times, Fang Ke finally went back unwillingly.
Chicken soup is a good choice for eating and drinking soup. Lin Xiaoman was thinking about sending Fang Ke to the kitchen.
Well, just thinking about it, let's just leave it like this. If she wins the throne, I don't know if the original owner will come back?
Wait, if the original owner comes back and sits on the throne and refuses to move, will she be killed by Huang Sheng, the future son of heaven?
Wait a little longer, will Huangsheng be destroyed by Sister Wang this time?
While eating, Lin Xiaoman sent a voice message about the butterfly effect.
Soon, Sister Wang replied.
"No, Huang Sheng is the son of heaven. Even if I try my best to fan her, even if I fan her vigorously, even if I fan her fiercely, I can't fan her away!"
"Then how do you know which one is her? In the original trajectory, isn't Huang Lingjin's legitimate lord on the fiefdom?"
Lin Xiaoman felt it was a bit mysterious. Men were no longer the same, so how could she still give birth?
"Heaven can give her a new father!" Little Sister Wang said as a matter of course, "It doesn't matter who Huang Sheng's father is. What matters is the fire feather birthmark. The one with the fire feather mark on his forehead is Huang Sheng, the son of Heaven."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Xiaoman learned his lesson.
After chatting for a while, lunch was finished and Lin Xiaoman continued to practice.
After entering the third level, one must not only practice external strength, but also constantly use internal strength to rush the meridians, thereby deepening the internal strength. Compared with the senior martial arts master Lin Xiaoman, others also have to practice moves and practice, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Immersed in cultivation, another day passed.
The next day, Lin Xiaoman, who was still on vacation, did not have to attend court. After getting up early in the morning, he continued to practice. After lunch, officials from the Ministry of Rites and female officials from the inner court came and discussed the matters concerning the wedding.
The general process was basically decided. After everyone left, Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to sigh that his wonderful single life was about to end, because he saw Fang Ke coming from afar.
Lin Xiaoman: Run away quickly!
