"

Consort? How should I say this? Does she want to involve the consort or not? It seems that she may not have much trust in the fourth son and his wife.

"I...I don't know!" Jin Chengquan narrowed his eyes, and then quickly said: "It seems that the prince-in-law often leaves the city recently..."

This is a kind of test. You have to see her attitude first.

Gan glanced at Jin Chengquan thoughtfully, then smiled and shook his head: "It is normal for the prince-in-law to lead the supervisory army's errands and go to the Imperial Forest Army."

The corner of Jin Chengquan's mouth moved, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded, "What you are saying is that my brother doesn't really like the concubine, the concubine."

This is like saying nothing. This person is very good at observing words and emotions and figuring out people's hearts.

Mr. Gan frowned and sat back in his seat. He stopped arguing about this matter and asked in a different direction: "Are there any other ministers in the court who are colluding with Jin Chengan?"

"This... I need to find out more carefully." Jin Chengquan wiped the sweat from his head and suddenly regretted that he had been a little reckless this time.

Mr. Gan pondered for a long time and said nothing. When he came to his senses, he suddenly asked Jin Chengquan, "What do you think of the defense change that Yunyin proposed before?"

Jin Chengquan glanced at Mrs. Gan in surprise, never expecting that she would ask such a question. What should I say? She wanted to install her own people, so she must have blamed the princess for ruining her affairs. But she was her biological mother after all.

Daughter, no matter how bad my daughter is, it is not anyone else's turn to complain. He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty wants to keep the generals in the capital, but they are not willing to give up the power in their hands. I am dissatisfied. If this stimulus is given, it will inevitably

Exacerbating the conflict. However, His Majesty is wise in the end. He first scared a few people by saying that he was stranded in the capital, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed to change the defense. This is a good way to solve the problem. In the final analysis, His Majesty's purpose is to prevent a few people from relying on their own troops. Can

The method to achieve the goal is a good one. His Majesty and His Highness sing in harmony, one is a bad guy and the other is a bad guy, and they work together tacitly. Otherwise, let alone asking them to stay in the capital, asking them to switch defenses, it will probably be even more difficult and difficult to achieve.

thing."

Gan took another look at Jin Chengquan. This man was not only ambitious and ruthless, but also flexible. Such a person is easy to use, but not easy to use. He can be used as a sword, but

She couldn't trust her. She turned the jasper bracelet on her wrist like a clear spring, and then said: "You can kill your relatives with justice, your loyalty is really commendable. I will record this credit for you first. As for Jin Chengan's matter, I still need you.

Continue to investigate..."

"I do have an idea." Jin Chengquan whispered, looking at Mr. Gan with burning eyes.

Gan beckoned: "Come closer."

Jin Chengquan took a deep breath and walked up to Mr. Gan. As he got closer, a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment. When he heard it, he found that Mrs. Gan's skin was as delicate as a girl's.

The ears were also very delicate. His heart beat violently, and even his breathing became hot.

Gan naturally felt the hot air blowing over him, and turned around with a cold look. Jin Chengquan was startled, and finally calmed down, and then whispered a few words.

Aunt He strained her ears to listen, but could not hear a single word.

After hearing Jin Chengquan's idea, Mrs. Gan secretly said something cruel. She was also wary of this person, but her expression became more gentle, "Do as you say. In addition, you should go there first after you leave the palace.

Princess Mansion. Send a message to Yunyin and tell her to come into the palace tomorrow."

Jin Cheng's face was filled with joy, he took two steps back, raised his hands in response, and then slowly withdrew.

The people in front of the princess's house dispersed immediately when they saw that the person coming was Jin Chengquan. Who didn't know that this person was an out-and-out minion. After Jin Chengan looked around, he understood what the emperor meant by calling him over. This can be regarded as

A warning in disguise.

Before he entered the house, Lin Yutong already knew that he was coming. But she didn't see him either, and just let Wencai send him away. Regarding Jin Chengquan, she did not hide her disgust for him at all.

Wencai sent Jin Chengquan away, then came in and replied: "Your Majesty, please come to the palace tomorrow."

Lin Yutong nodded to show that he understood, then turned to Sanxi and asked: "Gui Wu didn't come back with any news?"

Sanxi shook her head: "No. This is already the third day."

Yes! It's been three days. It's time for Fourth Master to come back.

At this time, the fourth master, Marquis Jing'an, was in the mountains behind a small temple. The two of them were wearing bamboo hats and each had a fishing rod, both staring at the floats on the water. It was cool in the mountains, even at noon, sitting under the shade of the trees,

I don't feel any impetuousness either.

Marquis Jing'an glanced at the fourth master and suddenly said: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."

Fourth Master nodded and smiled a little: "You ask. There are no outsiders here."

"I just want to ask...you never thought about taking your place?" Marquis Jing'an said, staring at the fourth master's face, as if he wanted to look at him.

The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, asking a direct question. However, no matter how close he was, some of these words could not be spoken. He never thought of answering, but turned around and asked: "Instead? Why do you think so?"

"Many people in the court think that you are the most suitable candidate." Marquis Jing'an looked at the fourth master, "I asked you out this time, not just because of my will." After saying this, he reacted fiercely.

Come here and ask him a question yourself. Why didn't you take anything out of his mouth? Instead, he quietly took the initiative and got rid of his purpose.

The Fourth Master didn't seem to notice the change in Marquis Jing'an's expression and just nodded: "I guessed it!"

Guessed it?

Marquis Jing'an looked at the Fourth Master, trying to understand what he was thinking. But after waiting for a long time, he heard nothing more. Seeing that the other party was still so old-fashioned, he was even more puzzled, "You have nothing to say. Or rather, there is nothing."

You need to explain?" This reaction is not normal. For others, they would have been excited for a long time, then humbled for a long time, and then planned for three to five days. This is normal. But what about this person's reaction? To say it is ordinary is a bit too much.

"What do you want to tell me?" The fourth master suddenly lifted the fishing rod, and a long crucian carp swayed on the fishing rod with its tail wagging. He took the fish off with a smile and put it into the water. "Plans can never keep up with changes, you

No matter how careful the plan is, it still depends on God’s will.”

With that said, he picked up the fishing rod, stood up leisurely, and went to the temple.

Marquis Jing'an looked at the fourth master's back in astonishment, unable to react for a moment. Did he agree or not? What does it mean to be so ambiguous?

The Fourth Master ignored what Marquis Jing'an thought and just entered the meditation room. A bald novice monk walked in and handed over a note, "Master, it just came."

"Yes!" The fourth master took it, read the contents on the note, and narrowed his eyes. "Xiao Wei, light the lamp." Xiao Wei responded, without saying a word, he lit the oil lamp.

, and then watched the note burn and blew out the oil lamp. Without the Fourth Master saying anything else, he turned around and disposed of the ashes of the note.

"Pack your things and go back home."

When the Fourth Master arrived home, it was already dark. Lin Yutong was washing the Fourth Master's hair and looked at the Fourth Master's face, "It's all sunburned."

"The sun is poisonous." Fourth Master wiped his face and whispered: "Jin Chengquan reported Jin Chengan and his son."

"Telling?" Lin Yutong paused, "He is really... loyal. Will it involve you?"

"The relationship between you and Mr. Gan, and between me and Jin Chengan, is not meant to be cut off. Unless one party dies, in the eyes of outsiders, they are the same thing. If something happens, do you really want to avoid being involved?" Fourth Master shook his head.

Shaking his head, "When the nine clans are implicated, they don't ask whether the relationships within the family are harmonious or not."

Lin Yutong frowned: "What should we do? Want to warn Jin Chengan?"

"I reminded you last time." Fourth Master chuckled, "I'm afraid the reason behind this is more complicated than we thought."

complex?

"Do you suspect that Jin Chengquan is a double-faced agent, selling both sides?" Lin Yutong suddenly thought of a certain possibility. Thinking about the series of calculations that Jin Chengquan had hidden in the dark before, this really fits his character.

"Two ends are sold, three plans." The fourth master stood up, wiped his body carelessly, and did not continue, he just asked, "What are you eating for dinner? In the temple recently, everything you eat is vegetarian."

In the evening, the Fourth Master ate three bowls of rice with shredded pork in soy sauce. Only then did he talk about the fact that the Marquis of Jingan was looking for him.

"Do you want to hang them?" Lin Yutong couldn't help asking after hearing what Fourth Master meant, but he didn't express his position at all.

The Fourth Master did not answer. After a long time, he said: "I'm afraid that the people here have impure thoughts." If such a thing is really done, the Dharma will never be spread to the ears. The Marquis of Jingan asked him out so carelessly,

He also said that he represented the crowd. This crowd... is actually the most untrustworthy.

The next day, Lin Yutong entered the palace early in the morning. It was not a royal court today, so she met Mr. Gan early in the morning.

"I've been raising it for two months. Why is it getting smaller and smaller?" Mrs. Gan looked at Lin Yutong and frowned again.

Lin Yutong touched his face: "Ku Xia! What can we do?"

Mrs. Gan asked Lin Yutong to sit down, "If there is anything you want to eat later, no matter what it is, tell someone to tell Aunt He, and we will always find it for you."

Lin Yutong responded and said nothing.

Gan sighed: "Are you still angry with me? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?" He asked, and then without waiting for Lin Yutong to answer, he gave her a note, "Look, this is what happened today."

I just collected the folds."

Lin Yutong opened the folder suspiciously, feeling a little shocked, "This... this is not what I meant." The folder turned out to be a joint letter recommending herself as the Crown Princess. "I have not hinted to anyone...

"

"I know!" Mrs. Gan chuckled, "But that's fine. I didn't dare to appoint you as the Crown Princess before because I was afraid that the courtiers would object. Now they don't object, and we don't have any worries anymore. This Crown Princess can be canonized.

Now that you have been conferred the title of Crown Princess, you can live in the palace with integrity. Mother and daughter can also see each other every day."

This still wants to put myself under her nose.

Lin Yutong raised his brows and moved the corners of his mouth, "It's up to you."

Mrs. Gan was a little surprised by Lin Yutong's reaction, "I thought you were going to refuse."

"A person who is a prince may not be an emperor, and a person who is an emperor may not be a prince." Lin Yutong said bluntly, "In this case, there is nothing to refuse."

"You... always tell the truth, which is not good." Mrs. Gan smiled, "However, Jin Yunshun lived in the East Palace before, so it is not a very auspicious place. Let's wait until it is renovated."

This is delayed.

Lin Yutong couldn't understand what Gan meant for a moment, so he nodded indifferently, "Anything will do."

The smile on Mrs. Gan's lips became softer and softer. It seemed that she really didn't care whether she was the Crown Princess or not. "The East Palace is small, and it will take more than half a year to renovate it. No matter what, it will be next year.

.It’s time to give birth to a child by then. Only when the child’s cries and laughter are heard in this palace will it become somewhat popular.”
