Concubine Gaomen (66)

The atmosphere in the palace was as cold as the weather. Lin Yutong tightened the cloak around his body, sat on a carriage and walked slowly towards the palace. Many people died in the palace last night. Most of these people should be

She died unjustly. She saw things she shouldn't have seen and heard things she shouldn't have heard. Wasn't she killed without mercy? And the person who did it was undoubtedly Gan. The people in this palace now treat her like

You must be both afraid and afraid. Anyway, the palace attendants who took you into the palace seemed very respectful. Regardless of whether they came to talk to you or not, they all lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at Lin Yutong from the corner of their eyes.

In this world, if there is no sound, it would actually be very scary. The palace is so scary now. Apart from the sound of the wind, there is no human voice. There is not even the sound of cats and dogs. It makes people feel depressed for no reason.

Lin Yutong entered the palace at the fastest speed this time. He did not need to go to greet the queen first, and successfully met Concubine Chen. In fact, people may not meet the queen when greeting her. But this is the rule. This time, Jianyu directly

Entering Beichen Palace, Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows. He felt that Gan's attitude towards the Queen seemed to have changed again.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yutong came in and saw Mr. Gan leaning on the couch rubbing his forehead, so he asked first.

Mr. Gan shook his head: "I'm fine." In fact, my head still hurts a little now, probably due to the aftereffects of the medicine.

Lin Yutong looked at Gan's pupils and could see that they were a little dizzy. He immediately knew her physical condition and that she was fine. But since she insisted on saying that she was fine, Lin Yutong stopped asking any more questions. He immediately changed the subject and said:

"Everything is going wrong now. If you are fine here, will it make people think too much?"

"What does other people's overthinking have to do with me?" Mrs. Gan laughed mockingly, pointed to the side of her throat, and asked Lin Yutong to sit down before saying, "As long as the emperor doesn't overthink."

This is also true!

"How is the emperor?" Lin Yutong followed her words and asked.

"It's nothing serious." Mrs. Gan pursed her lips and smiled, "Liao Xu is accompanying the emperor."

What's so funny about this?

Regardless of Liao Xu's medical skills or his identity as a Taoist priest, it is normal for him to appear next to the emperor at this time. Why is she laughing?

As if Mrs. Gan could see Lin Yutong's doubts, the expression on her face slowly calmed down a little, and she only said: "Lin Fanghua has had a miscarriage."

Why did you jump to this question again? Is it because Lin Fanghua came here to have a miscarriage and is in a good mood? This is not right! Lin Fanghua's miscarriage is not good for Gan? She said this as if she was deliberately changing the subject.

Lin Yutong pretended not to know and showed a slightly surprised look, "This... is quite a pity."

"What are you regretting?" An unknown smile appeared at the corner of Gan's mouth again, "Now that she has tasted the sweetness of pregnancy, she will not stop."

Lin Yutong didn't care about this at all. She wanted to know how Gan planned to deal with such a thing happening in the palace. Now, even she was within the plot of Princess Duanqin. Then, in the future, would there be any courtiers?

, noble people will often see ghosts. When all the people in the capital see ghosts, people will be panicked, and that will lead to serious troubles. "Do you have an idea?" she asked.

Mr. Gan snorted and said, "Clue? It's not me who told people to be haunted. We are not in a hurry."

Lin Yutong felt that Mrs. Gan seemed to be in a good mood. She mentioned, "Last night, it was not peaceful over there either."

Gan was startled and looked Lin Yutong up and down: "Are you okay?"

Lin Yutong shook his head: "It's okay. After all, it's in Duke Jin's mansion, and it's not easy to come and go freely."

Mr. Gan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems I was right! This person is trying to cause trouble."

Sure enough! How could Mr. Gan not understand things that he could understand?

"Yes! There is going to be a big trouble." Lin Yutong said, looking at Gan's expression with a vague expression.

Mrs. Gan whispered: "There's been trouble, isn't it okay?"

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat: "Where can there be good in the chaos? You are..."

"You kid..." Mr. Gan shook his head, "Why are you so soft-hearted? If the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come. But how can the old one go away? You have to break it! You have no power, you have to

With the help of external forces, only after breaking the old can someone rebuild the new. And the person who can rebuild is the one who gets to the top again. I think you should understand this truth."

Lin Yutong looked at Mrs. Gan seriously. Her eyes were as black as a deep pool, and Lin Yutong could see the ambition that was about to move.

"I don't agree." Lin Yutong said calmly, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? How many people's livelihoods will be affected because of this..."

"I will compensate them in the future." Gan waved his hand, "This sacrifice is really nothing!"

It’s not you who has to make sacrifices in your relationship!

Lin Yutong frowned, "You have to think about it. Everyone in the world is watching with open eyes. Even if the emperor has bad personal ethics, there is nothing to criticize in political affairs."

"But I handle all political affairs." Mrs. Gan's face showed a bit of anger, "Do you know how hard it is for me to do all this behind the scenes? You are not in the position to seek political affairs. How can you understand the hard work involved?

Do you understand? I have no contact with the courtiers. How many wrongful paths have to be taken to get something done? Do you understand the helplessness involved? If you haven’t reached this position, you don’t understand at all. Last spring, I wanted to call all places

According to the local conditions, some water storage pools were built, so that there would be some protection during droughts and floods. The emperor was like a miser. After the household account was taken into account, he wished he could not take out even a tael of silver. But a court can only use silver.

The warehouses are full, but no food can be collected. When the time comes, can money be enough to pay for the food? It’s not that the emperor doesn’t understand this, it’s just because he feels that the tail left by King Duan has not been cleaned up, and he is afraid of being punished.

There are remnants of King Duan who are colluding with the prince. It is a trivial matter to embezzle this money. What if the money is used to raise private soldiers again? If it is so choked and unable to move forward, what hope does this court have! And what I want to do is,

The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. The sacrifice now is only temporary, and in the future... it will slowly get better."

Lin Yutong pursed her lips and fell silent, because she could tell that she had made up her mind.

When Mrs. Gan saw that Lin Yutong did not insist anymore, the look on her face softened, and she waved her hand and said: "That's all, you don't understand these government affairs. It's understandable that you can't figure it out for a while. I originally had something to do.

You go do it, now... forget it... but recently, don't leave the house, stay in the house honestly. Remember, don't go out and run around without me!"

He asked himself to come, but dismissed him like this. Lin Yutong didn't know what Gan meant, but he still stood up, saluted, and slowly withdrew.

Aunt He looked at Mrs. Gan with some worry: "Master, didn't you say you wanted to train the girl?" Why did she let him go without saying anything.

Mrs. Gan shook her head: "You heard what she meant. We have quite a lot of differences. I'm afraid that if I ask her to take over, she will go against her will."

Aunt He smiled and said: "When did the girl stop listening to what the master said? You just tried to reason with her, but didn't the girl say nothing after that?"

Gan's brows furrowed even more tightly: "This child looks like me, but not like me. She is softer than me, but just as stubborn as me. She doesn't speak because she knows she can't convince me. She is

She understands my temperament, so she doesn't bother to talk to me. In fact, her inner thoughts... I'm not sure... Anyway, her little thoughts haven't changed at all. She still thinks that my actions and ideas are wrong, and she doesn't care.

The life and death of the people. Tell me, can she really do what I tell her like this?"

Aunt He stopped talking, silently stepped back and sighed.

Mrs. Gan looked at Aunt He, "Don't sigh all the time. It's okay to have some differences between mother and daughter. How can I really piss her off? It's because I can't help her these years. Besides, what's the point?

It crawled out of my belly. I have to take responsibility for giving birth to it. Who can I blame?"

Aunt He glanced outside and whispered: "The girl is smart, I'm afraid that after this happens, she will guess it..." Don't keep silent until the time comes, and you will have knots in your heart.

Mrs. Gan waved her hands irritably: "It's nothing! Let's coax her. Isn't her little son-in-law not on errands yet? If he is given an errand by then, what else can she do?" She didn't want to continue this topic, so she just said: "

Go send a message to your cousin and ask him to do it. Also, keep it secret from Shi Zhongyu."

This was because he was afraid that Shi Zhongyu would reveal the news to Lin Yutong.

Grandma He responded, then turned around and retreated.

Mr. Gan slowly closed his eyes. This opportunity was fleeting. No matter what, he had to seize it. This was much better than his original plan.

The strange atmosphere in the palace seemed to be spreading infection, quickly spreading outside the palace.

Guo Changhe drank some wine with many of his subordinates who were paying New Year's greetings in front of him. When he returned from the front yard to the backyard, he was a little confused. He was famous for being a picky person, and his servants rarely used them. Even lanterns were not used in the yard.

A few of them were swaying in the wind. The swaying branches were a little twisted under the light and shadow, which made people feel chilly for no reason.

Could it be that he was really frightened by the rumors in the palace? Guo Changhe felt a little contempt for himself.

He took two steps forward and suddenly felt that the shadow under his feet was wrong! It was not his own shadow, and the shadow seemed to be taller than the average person's shadow.

Who is this? He raised his head, but there was no one in front of him. He turned around, but there was still no one behind him. He looked around, but found no one else. But when he lowered his head, the shadow really existed and had not changed in any way.

His heart skipped a beat because he discovered that the shadow was moving with his movements.

There is no one, but there are figures.

What's this?

His calf suddenly became weak. He stood stiffly for a while, and then he suddenly remembered: They say ghosts have no shadows, so those who have shadows now must not be ghosts.

"Who is that person?" Guo Changhe shouted suddenly, "Who is that person? He is pretending to be a ghost! Come out!"

He looked around in circles, trying to find any flaws. But there was only the sound of wind in his ears, and there was nothing.

I was stunned when I heard a scream from the inner courtyard.

Guo Changhe felt bad, so he immediately woke up from the wine and ran inside.

In the inner courtyard, everyone from the woman guarding the courtyard to the old married woman looked at the screen wall that had just entered the courtyard with trepidation. On the screen wall, there was something like a painting painted with blood. There were two pictures in the painting.

A man, in the shape of an evil ghost, with bleeding from seven orifices, and a big bloody hole on the head of the other. The shape is like an evil ghost! But unfortunately, one of the two people is wearing a dragon robe, and the other is wearing a python robe. You can see the boots on his feet, and the other is five years old.

The golden dragon with toes and the golden python with four claws.

Guo Changhe's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this painting the death state of the late emperor and Prince Duan?

At this time, his heart really started to feel cold. This wasn't a ghost, this was someone making trouble.

When people make trouble, it's much scarier than when ghosts make trouble.

At the Marquis of Jing'an's house, the Marquis of Jing'an was about to take a rest. Footsteps suddenly started outside, "Master Marquis, go and have a look. Something happened to His Highness!"

In this prince's mansion, the only one who can be called your highness is my old wife, Princess Wenhui.

When they were young, the husband and wife naturally slept together. But as they grew older, they slept separately. He lived in the outer courtyard, and the eldest princess lived in the inner courtyard.

Marquis Jing'an was wearing his undergarment and wrapped himself in a cloak, "What happened? Are you sick?"
