Su Fengnuan naturally remembered that the person who was ordered by Patriarch Lin to invite her to the Lin Mansion to meet him was a very strong man in blue cloth with short sleeves, big arms and round waist.
She said, "Patriarch Lin is dead, what about that loyal servant?"
Lin Zhixiao said, "It's the letter he asked the guards of the Lin residence to report to me, and he is still in the Lin residence now."
Su Fengnuan asked, "Could he say how Patriarch Lin died when he reported the letter?"
Lin Zhixiao said, "I don't know the cause of death. When he found out this morning, Patriarch Lin was dead, without breath." After finishing speaking, he said, "I can't leave the palace, and I can't report to the emperor, so I have been waiting for you. Come."
Su Feng said warmly, "You want me to go to the Lin Mansion to help you see?"
Lin Zhixiao looked at her and said, "I know you have been investigating the case of the imperial palace's secret way, since the deceased concubine Yue Gui was involved in the case of the imperial palace's secret way, then Patriarch Lin must know something, but now that he is also dead, the matter It's not that simple, you just happened to go to investigate the case by the way."
Su Fengnuan really forgot Patriarch Lin. He has been confined by Lin Zhixiao for a long time, and she also ignored him. Now that he is dead, if his body has always been in good shape, it is really unusual to die suddenly. She really wanted to go and have a look, so she nodded, "Okay, I promise you, I will go out of the palace and visit the Lin Mansion."
Lin Zhixiao reached into his bosom, handed her a token, and said, "This is my token. With this, the guards of Lin's mansion dare not make things difficult for you, and they will not make things difficult for you. You take this." The words fell , and said, "As for entering Patriarch Lin's residence, the formation mechanism I set up should not be difficult for you, so I don't need to say more."
Su Fengnuan unceremoniously reached out to take the token, nodded, and said to him, "I will go to the Lin Mansion immediately after I leave the palace. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you."
Lin Zhixiao nodded, "Thank you."
Su Fengnuan didn't stay any longer, and left Shaode Hall.
Eunuch Yan was waiting at the intersection. Seeing Su Fengnuan coming, he greeted her, "Miss Su, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you."
Su Fengnuan was helpless, because she promised the queen mother yesterday that she would go to see her today, so she nodded, "I'm going to see the queen mother, father-in-law will lead the way."
Eunuch Yan nodded with a smile.
Su Fengnuan followed Eunuch Yan to Ci'an Palace, where the queen mother and queen were present, and she knelt down to greet her politely, and the queen mother waved to her with a smile, "You are not in good health, so you don't need to be more polite, come and sit down quickly. "
Su Fengnuan smiled and straightened up, and sat down.
The queen mother took her hand and said, "The Ai family heard that Yun Chu was going to commit suicide in the stone room of the trap, but you stopped him. The Ai family really wants to thank you very much."
The queen also said, "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise the Xu family would have no descendants."
The queen mother said, "You are a smart girl. You know that whether it is the Xu family, the Ai family or the queen, Yunchu is our support. You should know that nothing will happen to him. If you save him, you will save the Xu family." , saved us. The Xu family, the Ai family, and the queen are all very grateful to you, this great kindness, Jiu Jiu, the Ai family, and the queen will all remember it in their hearts."
Su Fengnuan smiled, and said to the queen mother and queen, "I didn't think about it that much at the time. The queen mother and queen mother don't need to thank me, and the Xu family doesn't need to show me kindness. I just respect uncle Xiaoguo as a gentleman, and I also thank him for being a gentleman. Yanbei's friendship to protect me, he couldn't let him die so worthlessly, so he stopped him."
The queen mother saw that Su Fengnuan would not allow them to accept her kindness, looked at her more lovingly, and said gratefully to her, "Although that is what I said, but without you, there would be no him, and there would be no Xu family today. Sad Who can the family and the queen rely on in the future? We will definitely remember your great kindness."
Seeing that she insisted on accepting her love, Su Fengnuan didn't say any more, and said with a smile, "I have a life-and-death relationship with Uncle Xiaoguo. The Queen Mother and Queen really don't need to be polite. If you insist on accepting this love, Ye Chang and I When we get married, you can give me a big gift."
The queen mother laughed when she heard the words, "That's easy to say."
The queen smiled and said, "A lot of things happened last year, and the beginning of this year has been uneven. You don't even have time to embroider your wedding dress, right? How many months are there before your wedding?"
Su Fengnuan said, "When I'm free, I'll take the time to embroider. Now it's just the first month, and the wedding will be in May. It's still early."
The queen mother said, "I hope this case will be cleared up as soon as possible, so that Shizi Ye can find time." After saying that, she sighed and said, "I heard that if Shizi Ye hadn't saved the second prince, the second prince would have died? The two of them investigated the case, but now he can't count on it."
Su Fengnuan said, "Uncle Xiao Guo and Ye Chang are now investigating the case together, making progress every day, and it must not be too slow."
The queen mother nodded, looked at her and said, "Aijia sees that your complexion is getting better and better, but your body is much better than before?"
Su Feng said warmly, "Because the cold poison broke out under the stone chamber, the cold air leaked from the body, but I feel much better than before. After the case is cleared up, I will go to my uncle again to see if it can be cured. The cold poison in my body."
The queen mother patted her hand, "Auspicious people have their own destiny. You, Ye Shizi, and Yunchu are all blessed and lucky. If you can bear the setbacks, your bones will definitely get better."
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded.
The queen mother took her to ask about the secrets of the agency and the situation involved in the case, Su Fengnuan picked up what he could say. During the period, Cheng Gu, the younger brother of the husband of the country was mentioned, and the queen mother said in surprise, "How could he be involved? Did he make a mistake? How could he harm the husband's mansion? How could he harm Yunchu?"
Su Fengnuan thought that the queen mother and queen were also people who knew Cheng Gu, and asked the queen mother, "Do you think he would not do such a thing? But, three years ago, he gave the flower and candle show to Uncle Xiaoguo, It is not mentioned that there is a secret passage in the Huazhuxiu that is the same as the reconstruction of the secret passage of the royal government. After our thorough investigation, the person involved in the sinking of the East Lake painting boat was hidden in the other place where the secret passage from the Huazhuxiu was located. No matter how you look at it, he is inseparable from it."
The queen mother looked at the queen.
The queen said, "Uncle has always been very kind to the Guozhang's mansion. The Cheng family has not had any very promising children for many years, and they have gradually declined. They have relied on the prime minister's mansion to support their family so far. My father has never been harsh on my uncle. How could there be any What about such a thing?"
Su Fengnuan said, "It's time to continue the thorough investigation."
The Queen Mother nodded, "Look it up carefully. In recent years, there have been a lot of things in Beijing and it is quite unstable. The Ai family did not expect that Concubine Yue would hide evil intentions and do so many dirty things behind her back, let alone the scene of Princess Ruiyue." Yanghou's Mansion and An Guogong's Mansion were also involved, Pingjun Wang's Mansion and Ministry of Industry Shangshu's Mansion were also affected. The Ai family lived in this palace all their lives, and they couldn't understand the capital and court situation more and more. It was hard to keep people informed. I don't know my face."
The queen nodded, "The queen mother is right."
The queen mother gave Su Fengnuan a few more instructions, knowing that after Lin Zhixiao suffered a leg injury, she was also ordered by the emperor to investigate the case with Ye Chang and Xu Yunchu, so she did not stay with her for long, and asked Eunuch Yan to send her out of the palace.
Su Fengnuan took a soft sedan chair and left the palace.
At the gate of the palace, she got out of the sedan chair, got into the carriage, and told Qian Han, "Go to the Lin Mansion."
Qian Han nodded, and drove the carriage to the Lin residence.
Although the Lin Mansion is not located in the circle of nobles in the middle of the capital, but because the hidden weapon family has a lot of ties to the capital, there is also an extremely large mansion in the middle of the capital.
Su Fengnuan came here once, the last time he was invited by Patriarch Lin's loyal servant, but he didn't see Patriarch Lin, because of Lin Zhixiao, he turned back in time. This time, she came to the gate of the Lin Mansion, got out of the carriage, and showed Lin Zhixiao's token to the guards guarding the Lin Mansion. The guards immediately opened the gate respectfully and invited her in.
Su Fengnuan thought about Lin Zhixiao's status in the Lin family, it can be seen that he kept his promises and was very kind. Even though he is not the real Lin family now, but Liu Xiao, the second prince of the emperor, he still does not change his appearance.
Su Fengnuan stepped into the door and said to the guard, "Take me to see Patriarch Lin."
The guard immediately said, "Something happened to the Patriarch..."
Su Feng said warmly, "I am here for this reason."
The guard bowed his head and led her inside without further words. Qian Han followed behind Su Fengnuan.
When they came to Patriarch Lin's residence, the guard stopped in his tracks and said warmly to Su Feng, "There is a formation organ set up by the second prince here, and even those with low ranks are not allowed to enter. There are people who are dedicated to wait on it. Since Lin Yi invited him last time, You come, the second prince also grounded him. Early this morning, he called the Patriarch inside that something happened, and I couldn't go in to check, so I had to report it to the second prince."
Su Fengnuan looked at the surrounding walls, and there were many shadows of trees inside. She stood at the door, looked at it for a while, and then told Qianhan, "Qianhan, follow my request, step on the foot of Shengmen, and take me in."
Qianhan understood clearly, knowing that Su Fengnuan was avoiding the restoration of martial arts in front of others, nodded, and took two steps forward, "Miss, please tell me."
Su Fengnuan told him the way, Qianhan wrote them down one by one, bent over to carry Su Fengnuan on his back, performed lightness kung fu, according to what Su Fengnuan said, after a few ups and downs, he entered the courtyard where Patriarch Lin lived.
Qianhan stood under the eaves and put down Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan flicked his sleeves, straightened up, and saw a burly man standing in front of the main house of this courtyard. It was the man who had been ordered by Patriarch Lin to invite Su Fengnuan to see him in the past. The Lin Yi that the guard was talking about.
She took a look at him and saw that he was standing numbly in front of the door with red eyes, and his face was pale with the direct sunlight coming in.
As soon as Lin heard the movement and saw two figures falling in front of the door, he suddenly raised his head, seeing that it was Su Fengnuan, he immediately looked resentful, and when he raised his hand, a fierce palm wind hit her.
