She buried it quietly, just to see when and how she took out the edict of passing the throne."

The corner of Lin Yutong's mouth moved: "So... she killed the clan members just to prevent the clan members from interfering and restraining her?"

"That's right!" Fourth Master poured another bowl of soup for Lin Yutong, "A conspiracy can succeed only if it is a good one. Now, you, my daughter, have the military power and have returned with a great victory. I think this is the opportunity she is looking for.

It’s coming soon too.”

Qing Qing made wedding clothes for others! No matter what, Gan didn't suffer any loss.

"This military power is in your hands and hers. In her opinion, it will not have much impact on her major affairs. Of course, it is more convenient to have it in her own hands. But if it is really in your hands,

It doesn't matter if it's in your hands. With your character, will you stand up to her about power? She knows you won't." Fourth Master said, smiling: "So, let's just calm down for the time being. You

Nothing will happen to her because of power, but she may not do something for the sake of power. Since she has already thought of a path, let her follow her path."

But is the fourth master willing to suffer losses? Obviously not!

Lin Yutong rolled her eyes at the Fourth Master, still not understanding what he was thinking. The heroine's ascension to the throne was extremely difficult, and I don't know how many people were dissatisfied. You don't have to think about what kind of big collision will happen next. And the Fourth Master's

What I mean is that I will never be the first one to take the lead.

In this situation, it is okay for the fourth master to take the position himself. But Concubine Chen will show mercy to Lin Yutong, but not to the fourth master. Although the fourth master is not afraid of her, she can always take out the legacy left by the late emperor in her hands.

The decree is coming. As long as this so-called decree is used to punish the crime, the Jinguo Palace and the fourth master, one by one, no one can escape. The fourth master will not be supported by all, and other members of the clan may not be able to point it out.

How can I add insult to injury? Besides, the fourth master has to take Lin Yutong's feelings into consideration. We cannot let the mother and daughter, who already had some resentment, completely turn against each other because of this incident. What good can Lin Yutong do to someone who abandoned her mother for a man?

reputation. And if Lin Yutong is allowed to take the throne, he will have to face the whole world's doubts about the heroine. No one can say whether Gan will come up with a will to support Lin Yutong. Even with the support of force, he can reluctantly ascend the throne.

.Then what follows is endless internal fighting.

Lin Yutong understood this and nodded: "That's right! It doesn't matter if I support her, but accordingly, I hope she can transfer some of her power to me. The national treasury is empty, and even salaries and pensions cannot be paid.

.I just happened to take advantage of this opportunity to do something practical."

Only then did Fourth Master laugh: "That's exactly the truth. If you can do more by taking a step back, then why not take a step back?"

Yes! Many people don’t understand the principle of taking a step back.

Lin Yutong's heart suddenly became brighter. Simply fighting for power for the sake of power cannot last long. This is a misunderstanding.

The two of them talked while eating, as if there was nothing in the world that they could not discuss at the dinner table.

Lin Yutong took a hot bath every now and then. Because of the injury on her inner thigh, the two slept obediently with only quilts covering them at night. She thought that after sleeping all day and night, she would not be able to fall asleep, but who knew that as soon as she closed her eyes, she slept soundly.

The next day I didn't see Fourth Master when I got up. He put on his clothes and went to the outside room. He saw Hei Mei sitting on a stool and taking a nap against the wall. He shook her and said, "Go to sleep. Don't stay here." These girls this time

After following her, she was indeed tired, "Where is the consort?" She asked again to Heimei who was still rubbing her eyes.

"Your Highness." Hei Mei finally regained consciousness, "The old commander and several generals are here. They are in the front hall. The prince-in-law is waiting for you. He said he will call you over when you wake up."

Lin Yutong suddenly became more agile with his hands and feet, and settled the matter cleanly, so that all these people could rest. During this period, no one was relaxed.

After a simple wash, she still chose armor to wear on her body, trying to downplay the feminine elements on her body. After all, she didn't ask Hei Mei to follow her, and sent her to rest and went to the front hall alone.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Wencai standing at the door. "Why don't you rest? What are you doing standing here?" She saw Wencai's eyes were red, knowing that she had been staying up for a long time. "You're going to stand up this time.

I have achieved great success, do you have any requirements?"

Wen Cai raised his head and pondered for a long time before saying: "Your Highness, can I still follow you?" The consort is back, can he still follow the princess? The consort is hard to tell at first glance, but he didn't look at the second

The courage of the eyes.

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment: "You want to stay with me? In fact, I can arrange for you to be in the army..."

Wen Cai said quickly: "I still hope to stay with His Highness."

Lin Yutong was really stunned, but after thinking about it, it might not be impossible. There will be more affairs in the future, and he really needs to have a secretary. "You have to rest for a while. After you recover, you can visit the capital. This

The next spring is probably over, and there are probably a lot of scholars stranded in the capital. Carefully identify a few people, and I will form my own attendant room. You can find people who are familiar with paperwork, and you can control the conditions yourself. Age, appearance,

Qualifications are not the most important thing. As long as the person is pragmatic, flexible, or has special talents in a certain area, you can bring him to see me. Do you understand?"

Attendant's room?

This title is very unfamiliar, but it’s probably what it does, and you can tell from the name. It should belong to a staff member. Wen Cai’s eyes took a look, and he happily agreed: “Your Highness, I understand!”

Lin Yutong then sent him to rest: "Don't worry, go back to the house to pay the money."

Wencai quickly took out the Huyan Tuzhuo's banknotes he had collected earlier: "This..."

Lin Yutong only glanced at it without stopping: "You can keep it. You deserve it."

When she arrived at the front hall, she heard Wen Yunshan's voice: "...the transformation field is too busy now. I originally thought about burying it in a deep pit. But this is too close to the capital. Not to mention the capital, it is Wanping.

The county didn't agree either. It was surrounded by people's fields, so everyone was a little taboo."

"Let's go to the grave." Fourth Master answered: "Invite some eminent monks to come, and those who should be saved must be saved. On the one hand, it will calm the hearts of our soldiers, and on the other hand, it will also calm the hearts of the people nearby. In addition, even if

Don't throw away the bones and flesh casually. Find a hilltop and erect a monument. This can be regarded as an explanation to the souls of the dead. We don't want to kill people, but those who have knives in their hands will have to be followed by our people."

Wen Yunshan responded with a yes.

Lin Yutong walked in from outside. Everyone bowed again before sitting down.

He glanced at the young man closest to Fourth Master and smiled: "Is it Bai Qi?"

Bai Qi stood up, but Lin Yutong looked a little embarrassed: "Yes! My subordinate Bai Qi has met His Highness."

Lin Yutong raised his hand to tell him to excuse himself, "Have the soldiers been settled now?"

Bai Qi responded, "I borrowed the Imperial Forest Army's place..."

Wen Yunshan said hurriedly: "General Bai is too polite. Now he only sets up camp outside our camp and won't go in. It's really too unscrupulous."

This is not a foreigner, this is him and the Royal Forest Army.

The fourth master answered: "It's okay, they can't keep the two of them, so we should go back after a short rest."

Bai Qi seemed to be relieved and held his hands towards Lin Yutong.

Jiang Zhong stared at Lin Yutong for a long time, then turned to look at the Fourth Master, and muttered something with a slumped head. Lin Yutong was about to ask when he saw Gui Wu hurried in, "Master, Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace.

"

Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master, but the fourth master didn't say anything. This was because he didn't want to be in front of so many people and make everyone think that she would only act based on his face. She felt helpless, "Bring people in first.

."

She thought it was Laifu who came, but she didn't expect that it was Grandma He who came in person.

Lin Yutong stood up quickly, "Why are you here, mama? You can't just send someone here casually. Mom, it's true, you came out in the middle of the night for such a long journey."

Only then did everyone realize that this was the nun beside Concubine Chen. Aunt He saluted everyone, but no one really dared to accept the full ceremony.

The fourth master got up and took several people to the flower hall. Lin Yutong and Aunt He were left talking in the main hall.

"Mammy, are you coming out this time?" Lin Yutong asked Grandma He to sit down before asking.

Aunt He first looked Lin Yutong up and down: "It's not hurt. As soon as the news of the victory came back, the master sent me out. Fortunately, the master is fine, otherwise what would have happened."

Lin Yutong smiled: "With so many people going up and down, how can there be any danger?" After saying that, he looked at Aunt He again, waiting for her next words.

Aunt He's eyes suddenly turned red, "Your Highness! Come back with me. The master is ill."

sick?

Lin Yutong never thought that she came here this time because Gan was ill. "How are you now? Which imperial doctor saw you? What did you say?"

"The master is holding on. She doesn't dare to let anyone know that she is sick." Aunt He wiped her tears with her sleeves. "These people in the clan have gone too far in the past two days. They take turns with the master, forcing the master to

Hand over the jade seal. But once this jade seal is handed over, everything will be out of your control. Last night, I heard that the surviving members of the clan have already discussed recommending a new king. You should go back quickly. If you know that these people are such a group

What can we do to save these bastards?"

As soon as Lin Yutong heard this, he suddenly had doubts in his mind about whether Mrs. Gan was really sick. He asked himself to go back, not because she was sick, but because the clan was acting without scruples. He had military power in his hands and could go back.

It was the best deterrent. She sighed and said, "But I killed eighteen clan members and caused trouble for my mother?"

Aunt He snorted: "Those people deserve to be killed! What does it have to do with the girl?"

"That's... that's fine!" Lin Yutong glanced outside, "There's no big deal for me to stay in the Royal Forest Army. I originally planned to return to the capital today. Then grandma, wait a moment, let's go now."

Aunt He was stunned for a moment. According to her master's instructions, it seemed that it meant that the girl was not easy to hire and she might not be willing to return to the capital. But now it seemed that was not the case at all! She said she wanted to go back to the capital, shouldn't she accept it now?

When the two came out of the main hall, the fourth master not only explained the matter to several generals and asked them to send them off, but also arranged the carriage.

"Let's go!" Fourth Master stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yutong, "I have an injury on my leg, so don't ride a horse for the time being."

Aunt He thought to herself, looking at this, she really had planned to return to the capital for a long time. It seems that the master has really thought too much.

Lin Yutong was not in the same carriage with Grandma He. She was sitting in the same carriage with Fourth Master, and said with a wry smile: "Grandma He said she was ill. Now I don't know whether she is really ill or fake." She recalled the past four years.

Emperor Kangxi speculated that this disease is also very particular. When you say you are sick, you are probably fine. When you emphasize health, it is really possible that something is wrong. No one can understand whether it is true or false. "I think

I have made progress during this time, but others are also making progress. She is probably showing weakness now."

Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong's hand and said, "Get used to it! She has no bad intentions towards you." As he said that, he looked towards Wen Cai beside the carriage.

Lin Yutong explained his arrangement in a low voice, "...Anyway, people should be put to their best use. This kid has some tricks up his sleeve."

Fourth Master glanced at Wencai again: "It's not impossible for you to set up an attendant's room. It's just that I'd like to see you set up two attendant's rooms and break down the inside and outside."

"Internal and external?" Lin Yutong was a little puzzled, "If there are not enough people, we can divide it into two or even three departments. This division of internal and external departments is indeed a bit new."
