The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 216 The Secret of the Spar
This rule was set by the ancestors, so the emperor did not refute much.

Fasting and bathing is not a difficult thing for him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can rest quietly for a few days.

The most important thing is to avoid the noisy Concubine Lin.

So, under the guidance of Qin Huai, the ceremonial officer, the emperor went straight to the main hall to rest.

The Fourth Prince, who was in charge of the emperor's personal safety, and a group of guards naturally stepped forward.

Prince Zhan and Concubine Lin were left behind, and led to another courtyard.

It was the first time Concubine Lin Gui came to this courtyard.

Ever since Empress Xu passed away, she had thought about it countless times, and she was looking forward to coming to Mount Tai with the emperor to worship the heavens.

In this way, she will be able to confirm her status as the future queen.

It's a pity that this time he came, but he stayed in the palace where the queen should be.

So she doesn't have to obey fasting and bathing.

Prince Zhan looked at her unhappy expression, and said after stepping away from the screen.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. No matter what, you are the only one accompanying the Emperor this time. This is a great honor."

"That being said, the emperor doesn't treat me any better than before. Uncle and grandpa don't know. It's been almost two months since the trip, and the emperor has never let me serve you closely. What does this have to do with being in the cold palace? the difference."

Concubine Lin Gui felt uncomfortable because of her excessive greed.

She also wants to be the supreme queen in the world, and also wants the emperor's unique love and affection.

All good things in the relationship must be occupied by her alone.

Lord Zhan recovered for two days, and his mind became clearer again.

He opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Since you want to be on the supreme throne, you should give up those who should be given up. Didn't the palace send news that the fourth prince was born safely? Instead of entangled in the emperor's love here, why don't you think about it?" The only way is to take the fourth prince under his knees and raise him is a serious matter."

After all, if the position in the middle palace does not have the prince, it would be unfair.

In this regard, Yifei has a great advantage.

So in Lord Zhan's view, the emperor's favor is useless.

Only a real prince can protect the glory and wealth of Concubine Lin I and the glory of their Zhan Palace.

After being comforted by him, Concubine Lin Gui also became more sober.

So I laughed at myself.

"I'm getting older, but my mind is not as open-minded as before. My uncle is right!"

"The imperial concubine is self-effacing, you are just a little bit blind in the midst of it."

"Well, then take it easy, after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, we will set off back to Shengjing City, and capturing the Fourth Prince is the top priority."

"What the lady said is."

The two of you said something to me, but the arrangement was thorough.

At this moment, the emperor, who had already entered the main hall and began to bathe and fast, also started the seven days of ignoring political affairs.

Lin Xingzhi had one thing on his mind, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

In the end, he found the Fourth Prince and opened his mouth to express his worries.

"What? You mean this spectacle is man-made?"

"The subordinates dare not be sure, but they always feel that something is wrong. When I was a child, I saw my father use a specially polished spar to make this spectacle at home, so I have doubts."

The voice was so low that only two people could hear it.

But it still surprised the fourth prince.

He always felt that this spectacle was a coincidence in Prince Zhan's Mansion, so he helped Concubine Lin Gui escape a series of times.

Unexpectedly, it may be "fake".

Then all this tossing, isn't it just playing the emperor around.

If it is true or false, I am afraid that Long Wei will be furious.

But if Lin Xingzhi's guess is wrong, then he also tied his head to his belt.

So don't be careless.

"How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent."

Isn't that half and half?

The Fourth Prince's face was serious and he didn't say a word.

It is conceivable that the emperor attached great importance to this spectacle, otherwise he would not have set off immediately after hearing the news.

Even the Mid-Autumn Festival can't be bothered to spend it in the palace.

If it is known that this matter may be deliberately done by Zhan Wangfu, I am afraid that many people will be implicated if they become angry.

After thinking about it, he said to him.

"Disguise your identity and take people down Mount Tai to check. If there is an emergency, don't mess around, just bring the news back."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

In the Fourth Prince's army, there are many high-ranking men, especially in this personal guard battalion.

So to disguise themselves, they have all learned.

That night when he couldn't see his fingers, Lin Xingzhi, Jiang Huanqing and the other two quietly left the palace and went straight to the foot of Mount Tai.

They don't have much time.

Especially Lin Xingzhi has shown his face in front of Concubine Lin Gui, so it is best to be back before dawn.

Otherwise, if Lin Guifei finds out, they will fall short.

This night was especially long.

The lights in the Fourth Prince's house did not go out until it was almost dawn.

Only then did I hear some movement outside.

"Who?"

Lin Xingzhi and others in black clothes opened the door and entered.

The weather in October had cooled down, and they walked through the night, even though they were jumping up and down fiercely, they entered the door with a chill at this moment.

It's just that this idea is cold, and the fourth prince still doesn't see it in his eyes.

asked anxiously.

"How's it going?"

Lin Xingzhi gently took out a small piece of spar wrapped in black cloth from his arms.

Not big, but very bright.

Seeing this, the Fourth Prince's expression became more serious.

"This subordinate's guess is correct. The so-called Mount Tai spectacle came through this spar. There is no sunlight at night, so the spar cannot function. There are dozens of hidden places under Mount Tai, and all of them are reflected, which naturally looks like auspicious light."

After listening to Lin Xingzhi's answer, the Fourth Prince was silent.

After a while, he waved to the other three to let them leave.

"Shut up all your mouths for this king. If the news leaks out, this king will kill you!"

"Yes!"

The fourth prince has strict military discipline, and those who can be selected into the personal guard camp are even more outstanding.

So he wasn't worried that the other three would reveal the secret.

On the contrary, Jiang Huanqing was a little anxious about the fourth prince leaving Lin Xingzhi alone.

I'm afraid that the fourth prince will make trouble for Lin Xingzhi in order to keep the secret.

But there was nothing he could do, so he had to leave the house.

After they all left, the fourth prince asked in a low voice.

"Where did you find the spar you've seen before?"

This sentence made Lin Xingzhi suddenly understand that there is such a big trap in love!

It really made the Lin family's second bedroom, Princess Rongkang and Prince Zhan's mansion bother!
So he gritted his teeth and said.

"Returning to the prince, I got it from my grandfather. That year, my uncle went to the Western Regions to collect medicinal materials. It happened to be this thing. I didn't know what it was used for, but my father discovered the secret by accident. .”
