Hearing this, Lin Wanyi finally understood.

The emperor said before that he would use the draft to lure out the people behind him.

It's just that she didn't expect that these two people had been carefully checked by herself, and there should be no problems at all.

But the emperor found out what happened behind them, which really made her terrified and full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, how could they..."

"Don't underestimate the person behind this. In the past, I was really blind and didn't see her ability."

"she?"

"Well, it's an old friend."

"Who?"

"Your concubine."

"what?"

Lin Wanyi was obviously a little surprised by this. After so many years, she almost forgot about this person.

If the emperor hadn't mentioned it today, she would never have thought that what would this matter have to do with the noble concubine?
So he thought about it and said.

"Is it for King Ling (Third Prince)?"

"Well, according to the secret report just sent by Uncle Four, the deputy commander of the Zhang family army in Cezhou has voted for King Ling. Now they have a hundred thousand troops in their hands, and they are practicing day and night, intending to plot a rebellion."

When the word "rebellion" was uttered from the emperor's mouth, Lin Wanyi still had a chill down her back.

The former Northwest Liu family was destroyed for the crime of treason.

Could it be that after being raised by Liu Xu'er for several years, this kind of thinking also exists in the heart of King Ling?
I think he is also in his twenties and thirties now.

I heard that wives and concubines are in groups and have many children.

In the past, Lin Wan was reluctant to discuss this matter, but now it seems that she intends to leave enough blood for herself in order to get something?

Thinking of this, I shudder.

And his eyes began to look sullen.

"So the black bear incident was also done by them behind the scenes?"

"Ah."

Then the emperor told Lin Wanyi the cause and effect of the incident.

"Zeng Konghou has been investigating this matter before, and found something different from the origin of the black bear. There are no continuous mountains near Shengjing City, so this bear could not have grown up in the suburbs of Beijing, and must have been sent here by someone."

"On the way, we must ensure that the black bears do not cause trouble, and we must bribe the people in the hunting ground to set up this situation. Those people have given up a lot of thought."

"It's a pity that I missed a move, but my subordinates found it out. And for so many years, Xiao Liu has been in Huazhou. On the surface, he trained with Uncle Si Wang, but in fact, he has long been the deputy commander of the palace's secret guards. He has learned a lot from Jiang Huanqing."

"This time King Ling colluded with Zhang Jiajun's deputy commander, he was the one who uncovered it."

Lin Wanyi was astonished.

"Little Six? The Dark Guard Camp?"

Lin Wanyi doesn't know much about royal affairs.

But she also knows that no one in power has only a bright side.

But what she didn't expect was that this would have something to do with Xiao Liu.

"Don't worry, his ability is far greater than you imagine."

When the emperor mentioned the sixth prince, King Xiao, his eyes were full of admiration.

But Lin Wanyi still feels scared, after all, he is only 15 years old now.

Lin Wanyi didn't know exactly what the dark guard camp was doing, but it was definitely not something that could see the light of day.

So, isn't it dangerous?

Frowning, she felt flustered at the moment, but she didn't know how to express it.

Naturally, the emperor could see that this was a mother's worry.

So he took her hand over and promised like a promise.

"Don't worry, with Uncle Si Wang and Jiang Huanqing here, they won't let anything happen to Xiao Liu."

Hearing Uncle Si Wang's name, Lin Wanyi could somewhat relax.

But Uncle Si Wang is almost seventy now, and he should have retired and returned home long ago, but he has been still in Huazhou for so many years, just to make Xiao Liu's skills more refined and stable.

It must be known that the dynasty of the Great Wei had not only a wise ruler, but also fierce generals and virtuous ministers.

Therefore, he has been devoting himself to cultivating King Xiao for so many years to become the next Zhen Guoshi of Wei.

Fortunately, King Xiao did not let him down.

The rapid growth in these years made the fourth prince very relieved.

"Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with the matter of Cezhou?"

Lin Wanyi didn't mention King Ling, after all, he was the emperor's own son.

Even if he hasn't been kept by his side for so many years, it is still his blood.

The relationship between father and son is not something that can be broken just by saying it.

Lin Wanyi understood that the emperor naturally had considerations.

There was a calmness in his brows, but the more so, the more scared Lin Wanyi felt.

The emperor has become more and more calm over the years.

It's hard to guess what's going on in her mind, and even the person next to her pillow can't understand it.

After a while, the emperor spoke.

"Before the Empress Dowager went to Wutai Mountain, she had a talk with Zhenye once, in which she talked about the arrangements for King Ling. Neither the Confucianism nor the good ministers could change his mind, which only shows that the person is broken from the root."

"He is indeed my son, but if he really raised his troops to rebel, he would be a traitor, and everyone will be punished. As for the noble concubine who was behind him, the deputy commander of the Zhang family army, and those who took refuge in King Ling, let's also deal with it."

"It's not appropriate for the prince's hands to be stained with brother's blood. It's better for me to bear this bad reputation."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyi's heart tightened.

He took the emperor's hand back and held it tightly.

When she first entered the palace, she heard some things.

At that time, the emperor had put all his heart and soul into the cultivation of the third prince.

Not for anything else, just because he was the person who was most likely to inherit the great rule at that time.

People are not plants, how can they be ruthless.

Although the emperor was thinking about the great Wei Dynasty and the success of the crown prince's enthronement in the future, he was too cruel.

Probably seeing the worry in Lin Wanyi's eyes, the emperor smiled lightly.

He reached out and stroked Lin Wanyi's still soft hair, then said softly.

"Because of this country, the Empress Dowager also reluctantly sent Hui Xian to die, but now I have to taste the pain myself."

In the words, he was quite helpless, but more sad.

Lin Wanyi didn't understand.

She didn't know how to speak to comfort her.

I can only quietly accompany the emperor, and I still have a little bit of luck in my heart, hoping that the Lingwang will find his way back and stop doing things that harm the country and the people.

Can't sleep all night.

The moonlight was so cold that Lin Wanyi seemed to feel the cold winter in advance.

The emperor still got up early to go to the court as usual, and the draft event came to an end with several imperial decrees for bestowing marriages.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

After Shengjing City officially entered the winter month, the weather became colder day by day.

The north wind was blowing, and light snow was blowing.

Everything has entered the appearance of being wrapped in silver again.

In Yihua Palace, Princess Han, Lin Xiruo (the second princess), and the third princess are accompanying Lin Wanyi today, and of course there is Miss Li Wan'er who is about to become Princess Pei.
