Prime Minister Right suddenly jumped out to take this matter on him, the First Prince paused for a moment, but before he recovered, he saw Concubine Lin jumping out.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister has a lot of business affairs to deal with every day. How can he have time to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou? Besides, Prime Minister has not gone out for a long time, and it may be difficult to adjust for a while. Your Majesty, why don't you go with someone else?"
Concubine Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she switched to Prime Minister Right for reinforcements, fearing that Prime Minister Right would kill the Third Prince halfway through. Now that the Lin family and Prime Minister Right have been torn apart, how could Concubine Lin dare to let Prime Minister Right go with confidence.
Emperor Dongming glanced at Concubine Lin and was silent for a while, but the Prime Minister on the right said, "Miss Concubine Lin is worrying too much. The truth is that she fought against the first emperor, and the mere barbarians can't defeat the truth."
Concubine Lin's face turned pale, and she became even more anxious, "Master Xiang, if you leave the capital, Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao will definitely worry about it. How can the emperor have the heart to let Master Xiang go? Master Xiang is famous all over the world, and a mere barbarian is not enough for Master Xiang to personally If you want to make a move, why should Xiangye go there in person?"
The more the prime minister wanted to go, the more Concubine Lin felt that there must be something tricky about it.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. How can national affairs be confused with children's private affairs? The barbarians should not be underestimated. Back then, the late emperors had been fighting for a long time, and there was no winner. If this battle can be won, Dongming will surely become famous."
Seeing that the right minister was determined to go, Lin Bin opened her mouth, but saw the right minister said again, "Besides, the third highness is the emperor's son, and it was because of the truth that he proposed to be demoted to Liangzhou at the beginning. Now something went wrong. Personal grievances and the truth are obliged to bring him back."
It's okay not to mention the past grievances, but how dare Concubine Lin let the right minister go after saying this.
"Your Majesty, although the ministers and concubines don't understand any major national affairs, the Right Prime Minister has worked hard and made great contributions and fought for Dongming all his life. At this time, it is inevitable that the Right Prime Minister will be criticized by others."
Concubine Lin prayed, if the right minister went to the third prince, the chances of him coming back would be too small, he would have disappeared, and concubine Lin couldn't imagine taking this opportunity to get rid of the third prince.
The eldest prince tightly pursed his lips. The eldest prince was eager to go to Liangzhou, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, the third prince was his own younger brother. If something happened to the third prince, the eldest prince would end up being ruthless. The reputation of disregarding brotherhood.
"But right now, apart from the famous Right Prime Minister who will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, who can frighten the barbarians." Emperor Dongming was in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!" General Huang rushed out at this moment, and the eldest prince frowned, "General Huang!"
General Huang said, "The barbarians should not be underestimated for a while, but the people at dawn are the most important, so as not to cause chaos."
Emperor Dongming's eyes flashed a smugness very quickly, and he said in surprise, "General Huang is probably inappropriate, the general just returned..."
"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that General Huang is the most suitable one. After all, General Huang has guarded the border for many years, has rich achievements, and has strong soldiers under his command. General Huang's prestige is not inferior to that of the Prime Minister."
Concubine Lin continued to help General Huang seek for it. Emperor Dongming remained silent, his face getting darker and darker, and he glanced at the eldest prince, "What's your opinion, eldest prince?"
The eldest prince's heart sank, and there was an ominous premonition lingering. If he opposed General Huang, he would question General Huang's ability. He would definitely offend General Huang and be called ruthless. It's not that he was thrown into the cold again, alone.
Originally, it would be very beneficial to the eldest prince if he went to the right, and it was enough to turn the eldest prince over, but he was spoiled by Concubine Lin, and the eldest prince was very annoyed.
The eldest prince glanced at the right minister, and saw that the right minister was holding a glass of wine and sipping lightly. When he raised his eyes, his eyes met, and the right minister smiled provocatively at the eldest prince with his lips drawn together.
With that smile, the First Prince understood everything in an instant, it really was the Right Prime Minister's intention!
The eldest prince tightly clenched his fists, a suffocation accumulated in his chest, and annoyance was evident in his eyes.
"Return to father... .."
"Your majesty, I should go as a humble minister, it's time for General Huang to have a good rest." Prime Minister on the right said lightly, blocking the eldest prince's words.
"Ming'er!" Concubine Lin kept winking at the eldest prince. The prince was even more depressed, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe. He finally had this opportunity to turn around, but he was destroyed by concubine Lin. There was a sweetness in the room, and he was severely suppressed.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to take orders to go, and will never return to Beijing unless the barbarians are calmed down!" General Huang looked persistent.
The right minister looked at the eldest prince, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, the eldest prince almost vomited blood, wishing to slap himself a few times, paving the way for the right minister in vain, those words just now became an important part of stimulating General Huang.
Emperor Dong Ming still looked at the Eldest Prince, who took a deep breath and said bravely, "My minister thinks that General Huang, who has experienced battles and is brave and resourceful, is the most suitable."
Emperor Dongming just laughed, and soon the eldest prince said again, "I heard that General Huang has quite a set of methods for managing troops. As the saying goes, a strong general has no soldiers under his command. Why not let General Huang dispatch troops around Liangzhou to fight against the barbarians? If the barbarians commit crimes again in the future, these soldiers and horses will have countermeasures, so they won’t panic and ask the court for help again and again.”
The Right Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and glanced at the First Prince. He had to say that it was really not easy for the First Prince to come up with such a compromise in just a split second.
The Prime Minister on the right was not worried at all. He glanced at General Huang, but General Huang said, "Your Majesty, you must not lead troops to fight overnight. Don't delay major events. Once the troops around Liangzhou are dispatched, in case the barbarians attack other places, It will be troublesome to cause other places to fall."
The First Prince's throat tightened, Prime Minister Right's expression was indifferent, as if he had expected it long ago.
After all, the soldiers and horses that I brought with me are under the noses of others. I don't know how long it will be there. If something goes wrong and the owner changes, General Huang is not stupid.
Who doesn't want military power? Who doesn't care
Once you let go, it's not that easy to get it back.
Emperor Dongming nodded, "What General Huang said is very true. How about this, the imperial court will reinforce General Huang with 40,000 troops and order General Huang to set off for Liangzhou within three days!"
General Huang was overjoyed, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Not only did he not lose his military power, but he got 40,000 troops for nothing. How could General Huang not be happy
The First Prince was not happy at all, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief. With General Huang around, the third prince would be much safer.
Emperor Dongming and You Xiangxin smiled tacitly, and quickly moved away, and everything returned to calm.

Lin Xu finally found a chance, disguised as a maid, and followed one of the maids with a lot of laundry to leave the yard, all the way to the laundromat.
Perhaps the Lin family has been quite busy recently, so no one paid attention to Lin Xu for a while, especially since it was a palace banquet today, Lin Xu escaped very smoothly.
It was already noon when we left the Lin residence, avoiding the guards of the Lin family, and walked along the less crowded street towards the palace.
When he came to an alley, a figure flashed past in a hurry. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Lin Xu felt somewhat familiar for some reason.
Just as Lin Xu was about to leave, a drug boy chased him out, "Girl, your medicine was left in the store."
When the boy chased him out, the man had already boarded the carriage and left. The boy couldn't catch up and had to come back, "The shopkeeper didn't catch up, what should I do with the medicine?"
"That girl seems to be the eldest lady of the right minister's mansion and now Aunt Ying of the eldest prince's mansion. Hurry up and send the confinement medicine there, so as not to delay the important matter. It's not easy for a woman with a big belly to come here to buy confinement medicine."
"Yes, I'm going right now."
Lin Xu listened to these words in his ears, his whole body froze, and there was a bang in his head, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
That person is Xiao Ying
Lin Xu had seen Xiao Ying before, yes, that figure must be Xiao Ying!
Lin Xu quickly entered the pharmacy, "Shopkeeper, what did that woman do just now?"
"You, who are you?" The shopkeeper looked surprised.
Lin Xu calmed down, and withdrew a crystal-clear jade bracelet from his wrist, "Say!"
The shopkeeper picked up the jade bracelet and hurriedly said, "The girl is pregnant, so she came to the doctor to check her pulse, and prescribed some anti-fetal medicine, but the younger one doesn't know the identity of the girl."
Lin Xu's face turned dark when she heard this, and she turned around and left. Xiao Ying was pregnant again behind her cousin's back. The last lesson wasn't enough.
hateful! A lowly concubine dares to conceive a cousin's child, shameless!
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Xu changed direction and went directly to the First Prince's Mansion to settle accounts with Xiao Ying, and ran all the way to the First Prince's Mansion without stopping.
Lin Xu knew early on that she was going to enter the palace, so she brought out the badge given to her by Concubine Lin, and since she was a frequent visitor to the First Prince's Mansion, Lin Xu quickly entered.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Lin Xu went to find Xiao Ying with ease, and Xiao Ying happened to be walking outside the yard holding the maid's hand. The high belly hurt Lin Xu's eyes deeply, and even aroused Lin Xu's anger .
"Auntie, the young master is really well-behaved, he doesn't make noises and doesn't make noise. I have seen any pregnant women in the past who have not been tossed miserably. Auntie is really lucky."
Luzhi helped Xiao Ying to walk slowly, "I heard that Miss Huang is easy to get along with. Compared with Miss Lin being the eldest concubine, I would rather Miss Huang be the concubine. I don't have so many twists and turns. Come straight. Go straight."
Xiao Ying smiled when she heard the words, "Today is about to be settled, as long as His Highness is good, it doesn't matter who you marry."
The conversation between the master and the servant fell into Lin Xu's ears, and he was so angry that the lowly servant girl dared to look down on him. Lin Xu's mind became hot, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and you will look good soon!
After a while Lin Xu shouted, "It's bad, it's on fire, His Highness's study is on fire, everyone, hurry up and put out the fire."
Immediately after this shout, many maids and women ran out, carrying wooden buckets to put out the fire.
Xiao Ying frowned, "Hurry up and send someone to help, how could something like this happen when His Highness entered the palace today."
Lu Zhi said, "Auntie, the slaves are with you, don't worry, let those maids help you."
Soon, Xiao Ying waved her hand and asked the maid in the yard to help, and after a while, only Luzhi and Xiao Ying were left in the yard.
Xiao Ying was afraid to go out now with her stomach full, so she had to wait anxiously in the yard.
"Auntie is fine, don't worry about it, young master." Lu Zhi comforted.
Xiao Ying nodded, and turned her eyes to see a woman in maid clothes standing angrily at the door, holding a wooden stick in her hand.
"Bitch! You are so brave. You dared to conceive a child behind your cousin's back. You, a bitch, dare to think about the position of the emperor's eldest grandson. You are beyond your control!"
When Lin Xu appeared rashly, Xiao Ying's face changed slightly when she was frightened, and when she saw Lin Xu, her expression became even more embarrassing.
Luzhi stopped Lin Xu, "Don't hurt my aunt."
Lin Xu sneered, and slapped the stick on Luzhi's body. Luzhi was caught off guard and wailed, and was knocked down to the ground.
"Auntie, run!"
Lu Zhi grabbed Lin Xu's leg and prevented Lin Xu from coming forward.
Xiao Ying couldn't walk fast with her big belly, and she kept sweating on her forehead, while Lin Xu scolded Lu Zhi relentlessly, blood was dripping from the corner of Lu Zhi's mouth, and she refused to let go.
"ah!"
"Bitch, let me go, I'm going to beat you to death!" Lin Xu vented all the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many days, and beat Luzhi to death.
Xiao Ying kept backing away, "Miss Lin, you must have misunderstood. Your Highness knew that I was pregnant. If you don't believe me, ask His Highness when His Highness comes back. Don't be impulsive."
Xiao Ying raised her heart and wanted to call out, but there was not even half a person at the door, and her legs were trembling.
Lin Xu glanced at Xiao Ying, "Damn! Just because you want to give birth to your eldest cousin's child, you are worthy, so stop pretending here, you must have used some means!"
Lin Xu looked at Xiao Ying viciously, Xiao Ying's heart almost jumped out, her legs gave way and she sat on the ground directly.
"Auntie!" Lu Zhi looked at Xiao Ying worriedly.
Xiao Ying clutched her stomach tightly with one hand, and kept backing away. Lin Xu hit Lu Zhi's hand with a stick, and kicked Lu Zhi fiercely with one foot. Kick, and finally break free.
Xiao Ying clutched her stomach and looked at Lin Xu in horror, "Don't come here, if the child makes a mistake, His Highness will definitely not forgive you, there is still time to stop now."
Lin Xu curled his lips into a smile, "His Highness's eldest son can only be born from my stomach. Huang Ziying has taken my position as the concubine, that's all. Even you dare to bully me, you are so brave!"
Xiao Ying shook her head, Lin Xu didn't know about the Eldest Prince's situation, and thought it was Xiao Ying who was pregnant again and not the one who was aborted last time.
"No, Miss Lin, how dare I grab something from you, it must be a misunderstanding, I am His Highness's concubine, I live in the mansion every day, and there are so many guards around me, how could His Highness not know that I am pregnant? , His Highness is aware of this matter, and this child will not endanger the future of the eldest lady, His Highness said it is useful."
Xiao Ying made up her mind and quickly explained to Lin Xu that she must keep the first child no matter what.
Lin Xu held the stick in her hand and paused, Xiao Ying said quickly, "Miss Lin, Concubine Lin also knows about this, if you don't believe me, you can go to the palace and ask."
"Hmph! Stop fooling me!" Lin Xu was still furious.
"No! How dare I lie to you? I can't lie to you for a while, even if I borrow three of my guts, I don't dare. But if the eldest lady spoils His Highness's important affairs, and His Highness annoys the eldest lady, wouldn't His Highness be pushed away?" For Ms. Huang, Ms. Lin might as well go to the palace, maybe there is still time to stop her."
The color of Xiao Ying's eyes changed, and she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she bit her lips tightly, her face became paler.
Lin Xu hesitated now, for a moment she was not sure whether Xiao Ying's words were true or not, but Xiao Ying was right, living under the same roof, Xiao Ying was pregnant, it was impossible for the Eldest Prince not to know.
If it really spoils the eldest prince's affairs and Lin Xu annoys the eldest prince, it will be troublesome.
Why don't you go to the palace and ask clearly, it won't be too late to solve this matter in the future.
Lin Xu finally regained his sanity, and glared at Xiao Ying fiercely, "It's your fate, if I know that you lied to me, I will never forgive you!"
"Bang!" Lin Xu threw the stick, turned around and left.
Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and beads of sweat ooze from her forehead, "Come here! Help!"
inside the palace
The guard hurriedly came to report, "The eldest prince is not well, the eldest prince's mansion is on fire, and the fire is spreading beyond control."
The eldest prince's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he stood up very quickly, "Father, my son will go back to the residence first."
"Fire in Your Highness's mansion is not a trivial matter. Benxiang will help His Highness." Right Prime Minister also stood up, "put out the fire early, otherwise once the wind blows, it will be even more uncontrollable."
The eldest prince glanced at the right minister, his face was ugly, he was about to reject Emperor Dongming but he agreed, "Go back quickly, one more person can control the fire as soon as possible, we must find out the cause as soon as possible and put out the fire,
The eldest prince left with a gloomy face, followed closely by Prime Minister Right.
As soon as the two of them left the mansion, the First Prince hurried back immediately, while the Prime Minister on the right got into the carriage slowly, with a relaxed expression on his face.
After getting off the horse, the First Prince's Mansion was faced with a heat wave. The flames were indeed not small. The maids, wives, women, and guards in the mansion were all carrying wooden buckets to pour the fire. The First Prince walked towards a courtyard very quickly.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The tip of his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood, and his eyes were filled with scarlet, which almost made people feel nauseous.
