The clan is a noble, a minister, and a general guarding the frontier. If they want to cling to my origin for their own benefit, what will you do? You can really just say that they want to pamper me... In the final analysis, this is my

The shield is getting harder and harder to use. Instead of dragging it out like this, asking them to keep staring at me, looking for a breakthrough in me, and then pretending that I am an abandoner of my husband and daughter? By then, you will also become a robber.

A person who is a wife. So I said, since someone wants to make trouble, it is better to settle the matter before it is officially canonized. Otherwise, we all have to be worried. The result is not that I deceived the emperor and concealed my life experience. It was you who deceived the people.

, in order to cover up this so-called scandal. If you want to be a wise king, you must not have any stains."

Emperor Yongkang's hand slowly loosened his grip, and his eyes towards Mr. Gan softened a bit, "In this case, this background...has become your shortcoming. You will inevitably have to be wronged and listen to gossip.

"

Mr. Gan then lowered his head and said, "You know me. When have I ever cared about this?"

Emperor Yongkang shook his head and waved his hand to Aunt He: "Go ahead and pick up the people first." Then he raised his voice and shouted to the people outside: "Pass the message and invite all clan members to enter the palace."

After all, this is a family matter. It's fine if you explain it clearly in front of the clan.

Lin Yutong didn't have a companion when he entered the palace, only the girl from before led the way. He must have just entered the harem, and saw Aunt He trotting over from a distance. Lin Yutong didn't care about the girl, and just stood there waiting for Aunt He.

The girl looked at an opening and ran away. Something happened! Something big happened! You have to tell your empress quickly.

Aunt He glanced at the girl who was running away, and saluted Lin Yutong breathlessly, "The Emperor already knows. Your Majesty is waiting for the girl in the palace. Let's go quickly."

When they arrived at Yilan Palace, Sanxi and Man Yue looked at Gan's face and were a little stunned. Although they had accompanied Lin Yutong to Prince Heng's Mansion before, they had never seen Gan. Now seeing the appearance of this empress,

Both of them were a little surprised and confused. When they heard their master call out "Mother", they immediately knelt down.

Is this the first lady?

Grandma He waved her hand, called the two girls over, and took them out first.

Mrs. Gan said to Lin Yutong, "The girl next to you is too helpless." She looked very dissatisfied.

"Be obedient." Lin Yutong did not dwell on this topic and just asked: "Have you thought about it. If you really want to say it out, no matter how you explain it, people's bad nature will only talk about it in dirty places. Gossip.

, and even worse ones.”

Mr. Gan patted Lin Yutong's hand: "Don't be afraid! I'm afraid you won't be able to bear such words."

Lin Yutong laughed: "You won't say it in front of me. I'll wait until someone dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of me."

Mr. Gan laughed loudly: "You can think so, how can I, a mother, be inferior to you?"

That's not what they said.

Mrs. Gan did not discuss this with her, but only sent Aunt He: "Pass the meal!"

Lin Yutong entered the palace at this hour and must not have had lunch yet. Mrs. Gan took her and sat down: "I only ate half of it just now, and I was not full. I just need to discuss this matter with the clan, and I don't know how to argue."

Until when? Let’s fill up our stomach first.”

There are not many dishes, but everything is fresh.

Mrs. Gan saw that Lin Yutong's food was delicious and said: "It doesn't matter if it's on the bright side, I can call you into the palace from time to time, and we two can talk. It's for food, and I also have the bright eyes to give it to you."

It’s over. With these two benefits alone, there’s nothing to hesitate about.”

While we were eating, Grandma He hurriedly came in and said, "Master, the Queen is here."

Mrs. Gan pressed her hand on the chopsticks for a while, then sighed for a long time, "Mammy is waiting for Tongtong to eat. I'll go see her."

After saying that, he stood up, took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and went out.

Lin Yutong swallowed the fried cucumber in her mouth, glanced outside the bead curtain, and said to Aunt He: "The queen has been tricked by her mother's family."

Aunt He couldn't accept this and just said: "The Queen has always been a sincere person."

When Li Xiangjun saw Mrs. Gan come out, he immediately said: "Believe me, I don't mean that. It doesn't make sense to my mother... at all." He couldn't explain clearly. The inside story involved here can only be taken to the coffin.

Gan smiled: "It's okay! This is something I have to face sooner or later. I also want to see my girl more often. There are advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how you choose. It doesn't matter if you make it clear, you can live like a dead person all day long, and you can't.

What’s the fun in that?”

The corner of Li Xiangjun's mouth moved: "If you think so, I can feel better at least. From now on... I can't let my mother live in the palace anymore..." This time he brought it up. If he accidentally discovers it one day

After learning the emperor's secret, the Li family was truly doomed.

However, Mrs. Gan would not say anything wrong with her mother, but only reminded her, "The emperor has invited the clan, and I'm afraid it will be time to call us later. You'd better go back to the palace and wait. It's not a good idea for us to go there together."

.”

Li Xiangjun took Mrs. Gan's hand and said, "It's my mother's fault today. I'm here with you. But this time, I have to ask you to give me some face."

This was because she didn't want Mrs. Gan to hold on to Mrs. Liu's fake transmission of the imperial edict. Obviously, the queen took care of the matter. The imperial edict was not faked, but she actually passed it on orally.

Mrs. Gan nodded, she had already thought of this, "I understand. I won't mention it again."

After the queen left, Lin Yutong came out. Before she could say a few words, someone came and said it was the emperor who invited her.

Emperor Yongkang sat at the top and looked at the people in the clan below, "I invite you all to come here for the purpose of canonizing the concubines."

Prince Yu said: "The canonization of concubines is a private matter for the emperor. We can't say more."

Emperor Yongkang raised his hand and pressed it: "Zong Zheng, please don't talk too much. Listen to what I have to say. If it was just such a small matter, I wouldn't invite you all to come." After saying that, he sighed, "Concubine.

Mr. Gan, who has been by my side and served me these years... is very much in line with my wishes..."

Who knew that before the words were finished, someone hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li and his wife came to apologize and knelt outside the main hall."

Emperor Yongkang's face suddenly fell. Why did he come here at this time and show up in such a way? It's really a suicide attempt. It's impossible to deal with this matter in advance.

Lin Yutong saw three people kneeling at the steps of the main hall from a distance, including Lin Fanghua. He sighed in his heart that the Li family had been deceived by Lin Fanghua this time. The emperor summoned the clan members, meaning to close the door and discuss this matter.

To set the tone. Now that the Li family is kneeling outside the door, doesn't it look like the emperor was forced to do so?

Mr. Gan's footsteps stopped when he saw the three of them, "Let's not be in a hurry, we'll go in later."

Sure enough, without much effort, two palace servants came out and took the three kneeling people towards the side hall.

Emperor Yongkang knew that everyone could not help but guess what the Li family's apology was about, so he did not cover it up and only said: "Since all the people here are family members, it doesn't matter that the family scandal should not be publicized. The reason why the Li family came to plead guilty is not for the queen's business, but for the queen's business."

It’s the Gan family. Because of the canonization of the Gan family, the Li family has some complaints..."

"This Li family is too bold. They have no right to speak in the emperor's harem." Prince An waved his hand, "This is too unmeasured."

Prince Yu frowned: "What's wrong with this Gan family?"

This is the point of the question.

Everyone couldn't help but exchange glances. Is there something wrong with Gan's background? A woman from a brothel? Or something else?

Emperor Yongkang was about to speak when he heard a sharp cry from outside the hall: "Your Majesty! Mrs. Gan is the first wife of Lin Changgen who cheated her death. You have been deceived by this woman who is greedy for wealth and abandoned her husband and daughter.

!”

As soon as this sound came out, the expression on Emperor Yongkang's face suddenly froze, and the hall also fell into a strange silence.

Lin Yutong was really stunned at this moment. How could anyone run out of the side hall casually in this emperor's place? She couldn't help but look at Aunt He. Just now, Aunt He waved her hand to a young eunuch standing in the distance.

After a short while, Lin Fanghua's shout came. It was said that Gan deliberately moved the guards away and let Lin Fanghua out.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Gan said loudly, "It's time for us to go in."

Lin Yutong suddenly had a feeling in his heart. Gan was going to push Lin Fanghua in front of everyone. But what could he do if he pushed Lin Fanghua out?

She couldn't guess what Gan was thinking at this moment. But what is certain is that Lin Fanghua must have fallen into a trap. She must not know that she caused the emperor to lose face among so many clan members.

At the entrance of the main hall, Mrs. Gan stopped next to Lin Fanghua who was kneeling at the door and gave a soft laugh.

This laugh suddenly ignited the anger in Lin Fanghua's heart. Her heart and eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy.

Mrs. Gan looked at Lin Fanghua's distorted expression and then pulled Lin Yutong into the hall.

In the main hall, there were dozens of men from the clan sitting. Mrs. Gan still straightened her waist, raised her chin slightly, and walked inside. She didn't show any timidity, but she was really worried about Lin Yutong showing timidity.

Lin Yutong had never seen anything like this before, and she acted as if she were the owner of the palace.

At this moment, Prince Yu suddenly had a ridiculous idea. Is this Gan family's daughter really Lin Changgen's? Could it be that Gan family was born to the emperor? If this Gan family is really Gan Haichao's daughter, then she and the emperor

But they were childhood sweethearts. If Gan really had something to do with the emperor before marriage, it was not impossible. Later something happened to the Gan family, and the relationship between the emperor and Gan became dirty. This led to Gan marrying into the Lin family with the child in her belly?

Could it be like this?

Not only Prince Yu thought so, but also many people who knew the relationship between the emperor and the Gan family thought so.

The key is that with Lin Changgen's virtue, he wouldn't be able to raise such a daughter.

She is dressed simply, without the decoration of fancy clothes and jewelry, but she is still unstoppable in her brilliance. This manner makes her look more like a noble girl than those other noble girls in the clan.

Before Mrs. Gan saluted, Prince Yu, who was sitting in front of the emperor, had already asked the emperor in a low voice: "Do you want to record... this child in the family tree?"

Emperor Yongkang was stunned. It took him a long time to understand what he meant by asking. Then he looked at Lin Yutong. At this look, he felt a little strange in his heart. If he and the Gan family had a daughter, she should be like this.

Seeing that Emperor Yongkang was silent, Prince Yu thought that the emperor had acquiesced. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Then why did you marry this child to the lineage of Duke Jin?

It’s not a big deal. But it doesn’t sound good after all. You can give me any reward, but recording it in the family tree... it won’t work!”

The corners of Emperor Yongkang's mouth moved and he swallowed what he wanted to explain.

He has never had children. This misunderstanding can not only explain the matter between him and Gan, but also hide it from others. So it took him a long time to sigh: "Really... can't you? Just say yes.

It’s not allowed to be fostered outside and brought back now?”

Prince Yu shook his head: "Your Majesty, the clan has its own rules."
