At noon, An Jinyuan accompanied Lin Mo to have lunch in the palace, and then accompanied him to walk around the palace. Lin Mo did not look very well, his face was pale, and his body was thin. An Jinyuan always felt that a gust of wind could blow him away.
An Jinyuan thought to himself that when he came back in a few days, he would take the nourishing herbs in his storehouse. In the past, the emperor's brother always liked to give him these things whenever he had something to do. An Jinyuan himself could not use much, and it would be a waste to leave them. Now he could give them to his fifth brother-in-law for nourishment.
An Jinyuan accompanied Lin Mo to visit the palace again, explaining some things to him along the way. Now Lin Mo also had a general understanding of the topography of the palace. After the tour, the two returned to the main courtyard.
"It's about time. I'll go back to the palace first and come see you later." An Jinyuan stopped and looked at Lin Mo.
"Cheng Yan is almost back, won't you wait for a while?"
"No need. Fifth brother often goes to the palace to see the emperor now. I just need to go to the emperor's place to guard it every day. I won't disturb you two now." An Jinyuan said with a smile.
He knew that Fifth Brother protected Lin Mo like the apple of his eye, and he would become anxious every time he was about to leave the palace. When Fifth Brother returned home, all the attention would be on Fifth Brother's husband. If he stayed here, he would definitely be left out, so he should go back to the palace.
"I originally wanted to come here alone today, but I ran into Su Jingran on the way. After I said a few polite words to her, she insisted on coming with me. I couldn't refuse her in public, but I didn't expect her words to be so inappropriate..."
An Jinyuan suddenly remembered this matter, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell Lin Mo. Su Qingran said this about his fifth brother, and he was furious, not to mention his fifth brother's husband, who must have been furious too.
An Jinyuan didn't want his fifth brother-in-law to misunderstand that he was the one who brought Su Qingran.
"Su Qingran... the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter?" Lin Mo asked, but he had already confirmed in his heart that this was her name. The name was a good one, but the person was not necessarily good.
"Well, that woman's methods are not up to standard, so you don't have to pay attention to her. If she comes to visit the palace again, just refuse her. She comes here for no reason, and nothing good will happen." An Jinyuan reminded.
As the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she actually couldn't hide her emotions in front of others. She must have had a broken brain. I heard that the daughters of other mansions who used to get along well with her also began to distance themselves from her.
Yes, as a girl waiting to be married, having ambiguous relationships with so many men is not a good reputation, and other people naturally will not have too much contact with such a person.
An Jinyuan was a little worried that Su Qingran would set her sights on the fifth brother. Su Qingran would look at a good-looking man a few more times, and soon there would be news that she was close to that man.
The emperor's brother was fine, after all, he was the emperor. Even if that woman had fantasies about the emperor, the prime minister would not let any bad rumors about his daughter and the emperor. After all, the emperor's reputation for being cold and ruthless was known to all the people of Yu State.
"Well, but... Su Qingran is so close to so many men, doesn't the prime minister care?" Lin Mo asked. After all, she is the legitimate daughter, and it would not be good for the reputation of the prime minister's mansion if it got out? Did the halo of the heroine force the prime minister's IQ to drop?
"The old prime minister is a serious person, and who knows what he is thinking. However, that woman Su Qingran is not too stupid. Although the men around her have good backgrounds, they are all from noble families who are not presentable in their mansion. I guess as long as nothing bad is spread, the prime minister will probably turn a blind eye." An Jinyuan thought for a while and said.
The prime minister is indeed very thoughtful. In the previous life, the Lin family was implicated because of the prime minister's rebellion. As for the men around Su Qingran, Lin Mo dare not underestimate them. As the harem of a time-traveling woman, their strength will not be too bad. They are not presentable now, but they may not be presentable in the future. Maybe they are deliberately disguising themselves?
However, if Su Qingran came uninvited, Lin Mo could only think of one possibility, that is, the woman had already begun to spy on him.
Lin Mo's eyes darkened, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant. If anyone dares to spy on him, let her taste the taste of death again. The scene of the dungeon in the dream floated in Lin Mo's mind, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the bloodthirsty factor in his body seemed to revive.
"Although there are not many people in Fifth Brother's house, they keep their mouths shut. You don't have to worry about what you can say and what you can't say. Fifth Brother has just returned and doesn't know much about things in the capital. If Amo wants to know other things, he can ask the maid around him, or ask Uncle Fu." Seeing that Lin Mo didn't speak, An Jinyuan thought he had some concerns, so he explained.
"Yeah, I know." Lin Mo came back to his senses and nodded in response.
"If you really don't like her, just ignore her. That woman is still of some use to you, but I won't let her run around for too long." An Jinyuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
Fifth brother had told him before that there was no need to hide anything from Lin Mo. It seemed that Fifth brother trusted his husband Wang, so it was no big deal for him to say these words to make Fifth brother's husband feel more at ease.
"Well, I don't leave the house often, so she can't come in and it won't bother me in any way." Lin Mo said with a smile without changing his expression.
Is it still useful to the emperor? Perhaps the current emperor has begun to be wary of the prime minister's actions. After all, he is the emperor, and his mind must be suspicious. He can see that someone has impure intentions.
I just don't know how the prime minister succeeded in his rebellion in my brother's previous life. It's a pity that my brother didn't live to the end, otherwise he would have known who was behind the prime minister and they could have given an early warning.
"Okay, I really have to go back to the palace. If Amo feels bored in the mansion, you can come to the palace to find me." An Jinyuan blinked at him and smiled.
"I'll come find you when I have time. Be careful on the road." Lin Mo said with a smile.
An Jinyuan nodded and left. Lin Mo stood aside and watched An Jinyuan and his men leave. After they disappeared, he turned back.
Although it was the first time they met today, Lin Mo had a good impression of An Jinyuan. Just because he didn't like the prime minister's daughter, Lin Mo's first impression of An Jinyuan was even better.
"Mr. Wang, the jewelry and clothes that were customized a few days ago have been delivered. Would you like to take a look?" The maid waiting at the door said respectfully after seeing Mr. Wang coming back.
“No need, just put it away.” Lin Mo shook his head.
An Jinyuan left, and Cheng Yan didn't come back. Lin Mo was bored, so he went to the study to find some books to read. Cheng Yan's study was full of military books, but there were also a few leisure books.
Lin Mo tilted his head to look at the table over there, which was piled with some letters and memorials. Thinking that Cheng Yan often left early and came back late recently, he thought that there might be some news from the border.
Lin Mo felt inexplicably annoyed. Perhaps soon, Cheng Yan would have to go to the border, and they might have to be separated for a year or two.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, suppressed his irritation, walked to the bookshelf, took a book at random, and then sat down to read. It was very difficult to read the traditional Chinese characters, and some of them had to be guessed. But fortunately, Lin Mo had learned some from Lin Xing and Lin Chen before, so now he could not understand only a small part.
When thinking about studying, Lin Mo thought of his second brother. His second brother should still be on his way here, right?
"Ying San, are you there?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly. Cheng Yan had said before that he had arranged for a shadow guard to protect him in the dark, but Lin Mo had never called him out.
"Yes, master." Ying San, who was guarding in the dark, heard Wang Fu calling him, and appeared instantly, knelt on one knee and bowed his head respectfully.
Cheng Yan asked Ying San to stay in the dark to protect Lin Mo, and with Cheng Yan's instructions, Lin Mo is now also Ying San's master. However, in order to distinguish between the title of Wang Ye and Wang Fu, Ying San called Wang Fu the master.
Seeing a man in black suddenly appear in front of him, although Lin Mo had been prepared in advance, he was still shocked. Lin Mo lifted the book in his hand up a little, covering half of his face.
"How many days will it take for my second brother to arrive? Have the other shadow guards sent any news?" Lin Mo asked.
"My Lord, Master Lin will arrive at the Imperial City in ten days."
"Has my second brother encountered any danger?"
"So far, there have been two groups of assassins lying in ambush on the way, and they were intercepted by other shadow guards." Ying San thought to himself. It seemed that his master did not want Wang Fu to know this, but since Wang Fu asked, he had to answer as a shadow guard.
"Killer?!" Lin Mo sat up straight instantly when he heard it.
When Lin Mo was thinking about asking something else, he heard footsteps outside the study. Cheng Yan came back.
"Master..." Ying San naturally heard the footsteps of his master, and raised his head slightly to look at Wang Fu in front of him.
"It's nothing, you can leave first."
"Yes, master." Ying San said respectfully, then returned to the dark and continued guarding.
Cheng Yan pushed the door open and saw a dark shadow flash by. Cheng Yan paused, closed the door and walked over, "Was that person Ying San just now?"
"Well, I want to ask about my second brother's current situation." Lin Mo put down the book and looked up at Cheng Yan who was walking over.
Lin Mo knew how good-looking Cheng Yan was. When he was in Daling Village, although the clothes he wore were rough and dark in color, they still couldn't cover up his brilliance. However, Cheng Yan still had amnesia at that time, and his temperament was not shown much.
Now, memories are restored, identities are restored...
The emperor must be handsome to be remembered by Su Qingran. As the emperor's younger brother, Cheng Yan is naturally not much worse. Lin Mo looked at Cheng Yan with some worry in his heart. If that woman saw Cheng Yan, she would definitely pester him.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yan walked over, sat next to Lin Mo, held him on his lap, rested his chin on his shoulder, and spoke in a slightly low voice.
"...I was thinking that you are so beautiful, what if someone is thinking about you?" Lin Mo turned around, put his arms around Cheng Yan's waist, and lay in his arms, pretending to be troubled, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Hmm? Have you heard about the things about the Prime Minister's daughter? Did Ayuan tell you?" Cheng Yan thought for a moment and knew what Lin Mo was worried about.
When Lin Mo heard this, he rested his forehead on his chest, rubbing it from time to time, but said nothing.
"Don't pay attention to that woman. Although my brother still has some use for her, if she provokes you, Momo, you don't have to worry about anything. Just fight back." Cheng Yan gently stroked his back and spoke in a gentle tone.
"She's the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Can I fight back just because I say so? Besides, how can you be so sure that she will provoke me? I'm not the unreasonable person..." Lin Mo stretched out his hand and poked his chest lightly, saying helplessly.
However, Lin Mo had no intention of being reasonable with Su Qingran. As early as when he knew that the Lin family was forced to be involved in a rebellion conspiracy because of Su Qingran in the previous life, which led to no good ending for any member of the Lin family, he and Su Qingran had a deadly feud.
