Finest Servant

"This—" Gao Ping wondered for a while: "The princess also knows that the emperor has rested." I have seen many officials, and I count this Lord Lin the best. Others are waiting for the emperor to eat and drink. When summoned, Lord Lin wanted to pull the emperor up from the bed.

"I have to go after I rest." Lin Wanrong sighed deeply: "This matter is choked in my heart. If I don't ask clearly, my heart will not be at peace. Eunuch Gao, don't worry, if there is anything I have to bear, the emperor will blame. Just blame me."

Given ten courage to Gao Ping, he didn't dare to disturb the emperor's dream, but after seeing the Quan Wuxing performed by Lord Lin just now, he also knew very well that this person is not a good bird either. Get a bully punch. For a while, it was neither going in nor going back, which made him embarrassed.

"Xianggong, is there any urgent matter for you to see your father so late at night?" Qin Xian'er said softly.

"It's a very important matter." Lin Wanrong nodded seriously. In front of Xian'er, the little vinegar jar, he couldn't explain what it was. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble this girl would make.

Qin Xian'er nodded, looked at Gao Ping and said, "Go and see if the royal father is asleep, and say that I will accompany Xianggong there later."

Seeing Princess Nishang's words, Gao Ping reluctantly took his order away. Qin Xian'er glanced at Lin Wanrong and pouted: "Mr. Xianggong, do you want to ask about that fox?"

"This, can I not answer?" Lin Wanrong smiled, saying that Xian'er, this little girl, is really not an ordinary shrewd person, and she can't hide anything from her.

"As long as you want to ask, I can still stop you. I already knew that you had a crush on that Hu Meizi." Qin Xian'er pouted.

Distressed? When did I give up. This girl can really use words! Lin Wanrong laughed, hugged her small waist and said, "Don't worry, I will carry water with a pole, and both sides will be flat. Oh, it's not easy for me to take care of you."

Xian'er smiled sweetly, and tightened her little hands around his arms, sighing softly: "Xiang Gong, in fact, according to my opinion, I just want to live a good life with you, and then be filial to the father and emperor, what do you do? Princess, I'm not interested."

"Then why did you change your mind?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.

"Master is right. Xianggong, you are a talent beyond the past. It would be a pity if you were buried in the people. I have such an identity, and the royal father loves me so much. As long as you want to do it, Xianggong. There is no you in this world. It's impossible to do things, not to mention that the father is so fond of you." Qin Xian'er's eyes flashed with colorful light, looking at him firmly, her face full of attachment and trust.

Could it be that the old man said something to Xian'er again? Ugh,

The coveted heart never dies. You can't be too good! Lin Wanrong put away the picture scroll, hugged Xian'er and said with a saucy smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard - let's work together. Give birth to more than a dozen dolls, let the old man hold one every day, hehe!"

Qin Xian'er blushed, hid in his arms and didn't dare to come out, and hummed softly: "nonsense, my mother only gave birth to me one in her whole life, I and Xianggong have two."

The two were touching and scratching, but they saw Gao Qing hurried out and looked at Lin Wanrong and said, "Lord Lin. The emperor said he fell asleep."

This is a level, is it fooling me or fooling you? Lin Wanrong smiled: "This is the emperor's original words?!"

Gao Ping nodded and said, "It's the original words. His old man asked me to pass the word of mouth, saying that he fell asleep. If there is anything wrong with Lord Ruo Lin, he will ask for an appointment tomorrow."

He just did something for him, and in the blink of an eye, he didn't recognize anyone. This old man's face turned so fast, Lin Wanrong was about to hold Xian'er to rush in, when Gao Qing said again: "The emperor also said, The matter of entering the forbidden palace will not be investigated, if you have the heart, remember these three words - Zhe Baoding!"

Fold Baoding? ! ! What's the meaning? Lin Wanrong glanced at Gao Ping suspiciously: "Did the emperor say anything else? Eunuch Gao, you have to finish that all at once!"

Gao Ping gave a wry smile and bowed: "Sir, this is what the emperor's oral instructions are. I don't dare to say a word, and I will convey it to you completely. The meaning of this is that the slaves don't understand anything."

Seeing Gao Pingdi's face, Lin Wanrong knew that the old emperor would not see himself tonight. Since he even knew about my trespassing in the forbidden area, his verbal order was naturally inspired. It was just that the three words "Zhebaoding" were suddenly uttered. How to explain this? Could it be related to Qingxuan? The words are so vague, the old man is also a master of riddles.

He thought hard, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of these three words. If he thought about it, even if he forced his way in to see the emperor, with the character of the old man, he would not be able to explain the riddles that should be played. When I saw the message of Qingxuan tonight, I was very excited, but I just thought that maybe because of a little mystery, even if I was close to each other, I couldn't meet Qingxuan. I couldn't tell the depression in my heart. He spent the whole night in anxiety and meditation, and even forgot to tell the emperor about the encounter with the Dongying people in Houshan today.

He went to see him early the next morning, but was stopped by Gao Qing's frowning face, he looked around and said cautiously: "Lord Lin, you are not an outsider either, this old slave will tell the truth, the imperial physicians are all here right now. It's waiting inside, the emperor is furious, and he has already dragged him out and beheaded three."

cut three? Could it be because of the wound from yesterday's assassination? But Xian'er went back to Xiangguo Temple this morning. Her wish to form a house for her mother has not yet been fulfilled. When she left, she didn't hear that the old man's condition had deteriorated! Thinking of the things I discussed with Xu Wei and Li Tai yesterday, I have some comprehension in my heart.

Lin Wanrong remembered what she told Ning Yuxi to do yesterday, and she didn't know if she had spread the word. She was a little worried, but she thought that the old emperor might know Qingxuan's whereabouts, but deliberately made some mysterious things. It was not interesting, so he didn't bother Let's take care of the Dongying people and let them assassinate one more time.

When he came out of the palace, he saw Xu Wei guarding the door with a ghostly head, his appearance was very strange. Lin Wanrong tiptoed over and patted him on the shoulder lightly. Xu Wei was startled, turned around to see him, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "Little brother Lin, you finally came out."

What do you mean I finally figured it out? Mr. Lin, I didn't enter the number, he smiled and said: "How do you say that? Mr. Xu, didn't you see it last morning?"

Xu Wei pulled him aside, looked at him up and down carefully, and looked around vigilantly, before nodding: "It's fine, it's fine. Yesterday the emperor summoned you, until this morning. I haven't heard any news from you, Miss Xiao and Madam are worried about you and asked me to ask several times, and Miss Qiaoqiao is so anxious that she doesn't know what to do."

This is a negligence. Yesterday, I was thinking about helping Xian’er and his daughter reunite. Later, I met Uncle Wei and saw the picture scroll left by Qingxuan. It was a surprise and a loss. They, Lin Wanrong felt ashamed, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Xu, are they all right?!"

"It's okay!" Xu Wei shook his head and said meaningfully: "You don't know, now the Xiao family is secretly protected by the guards in the palace, and nothing can happen. It's you, you went to see the emperor yesterday, which made the old man worry a lot. "

Lin Wanrong is also a shrewd person. He naturally understands the meaning of Xu Wei's words. Yesterday's assassination of the emperor was a big deal, but at the most critical juncture, the emperor called Lin Wanrong to see him. When others see the emperor, they will come out with a cup of tea, but he has not been around for a day and a night. An old slick like Xu Wei can naturally smell some unusual smells from it.

Lin Wanrong clenched her fists gratefully, with a very complicated expression on her face. Talking about yesterday's experience, she still feels heartbroken now, and she doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. However, Lao Xu's being able to care so much was quite righteous, which made him a little moved.

"There's one more thing," Xu Wei frowned, looked worried, looked at him and said, "I don't know how to tell you, little brother."

Lin Wanrong felt an unpleasant feeling in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Oh, my brother Xu, what time is this, you are still modest, and you can say it directly."

Xu Wei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't say it, it's that I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold your breath. Do you know that the Li Tai army will set off in more than 20 days?"

"This is not only me, but everyone in Dahua knows it." Lin Wanrong waved his hand impatiently: "Brother Xu, say the point, say the point!"

"The reason why Li Tai's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers have been delayed until now is because the wages needed for the war have not yet been collected. Among them, the most important batch of silver food and grass, the number of which is 350,000, comes from Jiangnan." Xu Wei glanced at him and said slowly.

"What happened to Jiangnan? All the money is collected." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, he remembered Luo Min's taxation of the brothel in Jinling. Once the man's waistband was loosened, he had everything.

"The 350,000 taels of silver were collected after excluding the money that was paid to the state treasury. It was to be escorted into Beijing, but on the way—" Xu Wei shook his head and sighed.

"Something happened?" Lin Wanrong was surprised.

Xu Wei nodded sadly: "350,000 taels of silver, escorted by 5,000 elite soldiers, but a mutiny broke out in Shandong. Overnight, 350,000 taels of silver, along with 5,000 men and horses, disappeared without a trace."
