Lin Hai: "Since the queen knew that the emperor was coming that day, why didn't she go back to the capital with the emperor?"
A trace of desolation flashed across Rong Chang'an's face: "Didn't I tell you when I was in the hotel, I was already disheartened, and returning to the capital would only bring back my sadness."
Besides, there was another reason that made Rong Changan not want to go back.
She is a proud person, how can she live in humiliation? After confirming that Rong Changan was the murderer, everyone would definitely point fingers at her. She really couldn't bear such a life.
Eunuch Fan and the old lady came out of the cottage to greet them.
"Queen, you are back!" Eunuch Fan shouted happily, and suddenly saw someone next to Rong Changan, and after careful identification, it turned out to be Lin Hai, "General Lin, is it... you?"
The old woman recognized Lin Hai as one of the people who came that night, and she was startled: "He... he is someone close to the emperor!"
Rong Changan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, General Lin is a good man, not a bad guy."
Besides Lin Hai, Rong Changan also brought back two horses, both of which were extremely fat and handsome. If they were sold in the market, they would probably fetch four to five hundred taels of silver.
Rong Changan apologized and said, "I couldn't find what I wanted, I'm sorry."
The old woman touched the two steeds as if she was touching her own heart: "It doesn't matter if you can't afford it. If you have these two horses, you will have a hard time in the future!"
The two horses were born, and when the old woman touched them, they kicked and screamed, and the old woman fell into the snow in fright.
Lin Hai came down in a hurry and held the horse's bridle together: "Don't be afraid, they're just acknowledging their lives and won't do anything to you. Do you have a stable here? I'll tie them up in the stable and they'll be fine."
The old woman pointed over there: "The stable is over there!"
Lin Hai led the four horses over and tied them up. The old woman was still touching her heart in the snow.
"Scared me!"
Rong Changan helped the old woman up, and patted the snow behind her: "Eldest sister, General Lin hasn't eaten yet, please go to the kitchen and get him some side dishes and steam some pancakes, okay?"
The old woman said: "This is my specialty, what's wrong with it! I'm going to get General Lin something to eat."
Eunuch Fan asked Rong Changan: "Queen, how did you meet General Lin?"
Because of Lin Hai, it is not easy for Eunuch Fan to call Xue Er again.
Rong Changan briefly told Eunuch Fan about the accident in the hotel, and Eunuch Fan was stunned for a long time: "Such a thing can happen! Who is the person who wants to kill General Lin?"
Rong Changan shook his head: "I don't know yet, but according to my estimation, it has something to do with that person."
Eunuch Fan: "Which person?"
Rong Changan rubbed his hands together: "It's too cold outside, let's go inside and sit down to talk about it! Please, Eunuch Fan, light a fire for us to get rid of the cold."
"Okay, this old slave is going to prepare now!"
When the food was ready, it was already evening, and the four of them sat around the fire, talking while eating.
Rong Chang'an asked Lin Hai: "General Lin, you haven't said why you were sent to a remote county by the emperor?"
Lin Hai picked up the wine glass, and after listening to Rong Changan's words, he put down the wine glass in grief and indignation. Because of too much force, the table made a loud noise, and the old woman almost retracted her head into her neck.
"Someone must have said something bad about me in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not think that I..."
Rong Changan: "What does the emperor think of you?"
Lin Hai was very loyal to Yan Li, and Yan Li didn't even trust him, so who else would he trust in the court? Lin Hai was deprived of the control of the Northern Army, presumably Xiong Yanchao is about the same. The position of General of the Northern Army is vacant, who will fill the vacancy? These are what Rong Changan wants to know.
Lin Hai looked at Rong Changan, hesitant to speak.
"Lin Hai, what do you have to say, but it's okay to say it, there is no need to hide it between you and me."
Lin Hai sighed: "The empress probably doesn't know that the emperor's uncle has already been thrown into the sky prison..."
"What!" Rong Changan stood up from the chair, his face was full of astonishment, besides Yan Li, who could put Yan Shijie into the sky prison? But Yan Shijie is Yan Li's uncle, how could Yan Li do this
Even Eunuch Fan was too shocked to speak.
Rong Changan was dissatisfied and anxious: "What happened?"
Lin Hai: "A few days ago, I don't know who gave a memorial to the emperor, saying that the emperor's uncle and... the queen have a good relationship with you, and he was also involved in your assassination of Queen Chu..."
Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Rong Changan scolded loudly: "Nonsense! It's ridiculous that such words can be made up!"
But what made Chang An even more angry was that Yan Li actually believed it was true. What happened to Yan Li? Could it be that while intoxicated, he issued the imperial decree to imprison the emperor's uncle
Lin Hai: "Why don't I think it's absurd! The emperor didn't believe it at all, so he went to the emperor's uncle's house and talked about it with the emperor's uncle. Unexpectedly, the emperor saw it in the emperor's uncle's study that day..."
Rong Changan and Eunuch Fan said in unison: "What did you see?"
Lin Hai poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp: "The emperor actually saw a yellow robe!"
Rong Changan was stunned. Seeing the yellow robe means that the emperor's uncle intends to rebel, so it's no wonder that Yan Li put the emperor's uncle into the prison.
Yan Li still gave the emperor enough face, otherwise, he would be imprisoned by the nine clans. However, the emperor's uncle is usually very gentle and gentle, and is very indifferent to official affairs. How could he think of rebellion
Suddenly, Rong Changan's cold eyes became bright. She remembered that when she went to the capital with Eunuch Fan that day, she followed a man to Yan Shijie's house. The man went in with a bundle, but when he came out, the bundle was gone. Could it be that the thing inside the baggage is the yellow robe
The yellow robe was given to that man by Ziyan. Could it be that Ziyan and the emperor's uncle conspired together? Or is it Ziyan who framed the uncle
Rong Changan stood up and walked back and forth by the fire, the orange fire reflected her delicate face flushing red, and in her eyes, Lin Hai clearly saw two flaming flames.
"Queen, have you thought of something?"
Rong Chang An leaned against the door frame, staring at the white snow and the cold moonlight outside the cottage.
"Lin Hai, go on."
Lin Hai continued: "The emperor's uncle was thrown into prison because of the yellow robe. I don't know who gave the emperor a memorial, saying that I have a good relationship with you, and that I have a good relationship with the emperor's uncle. Because of your affairs, I I have a grudge against the emperor and want to conspire with the emperor's uncle."
"The emperor didn't believe it at first, but the villain kept adding fuel to his ears all day long. Over time, the emperor dismissed General Xiong and me from the northern army and sent us to remote counties to serve as officials. Where should I be an official? It doesn't matter, I am not willing to be tricked by those villains!"
As Rong Chang'an guessed, Xiong Yanchao really failed to keep the Northern Army's military power.
That villain in Haikou must be Ziyan. But Rong Changan still doesn't know what Zi Yan wants to do.
Rong Chang'an's eyes seemed to see Yan Li who was alone in the pavilion on the back mountain: "You are not in the court, Xiong Yanchao is not there, and the emperor's uncle is in the sky prison, so who else is loyal by the emperor's side?—Who is in charge of the Northern Army now?"
Lin Haidao: "Chu Lin."
"Chu Lin?" Rong Chang'an's eyes were full of worry, "Chu Lin has no ability at all. He only relied on his daughter to be promoted to a noble. How can He De be qualified as the commander of the Northern Army? I am afraid that the court and the country will There is a disaster!"
Lin Hai punched the table again: "I'm powerless. Now that the country has no loyalty, and the military power is in the hands of Chu Lin who has no soldiers and potential generals, I'm also worried!"
Rong Changan collected all the things and thought about it. Ziyan kicked Rong Changan out of the palace, put the emperor's uncle into the prison, and deprived Lin Hai and Xiong Yanchao of their military power. What will she do next
Now it is very clear that the person who wanted to kill Lin Hai in the hotel was sent by Ziyan. Even though Lin Hai has been relieved of his military power, she still doesn't want to let it go.
