After Lin Yuanzhi changed into his official uniform, he hurried to the gate of the palace in a sedan chair, but was stopped by the guards on duty.

Seeing the sedan chair stop, Lin Yuanzhi raised the curtain of the sedan chair and said to the guards outside: "Presumptuous, you dare to stop the old man's sedan chair?"

Seeing that it was Lin Yuanzhi, the guard hurried to the front of the sedan chair and said, "Master Shangshu, there is an order from the palace, and you cannot enter the palace without an order from Mr. Zhongshuling."

Lin Yuanzhi heard the words and said angrily: "What are you talking about? When will this palace become his territory, Chen Mianzheng? Could it be that if I, a minister of the official department, want to see the emperor, I have to pass his official order?"

The guard hurriedly said: "My lord, the villains are just doing things according to orders. This is His Majesty's will. The villains dare not disobey!"

"Why did Your Majesty make such an order?" Lin Yuanzhi thought for a moment, ordered the sedan chair to stop, and walked out of the sedan chair, looking at the white silk hanging at the gate of the palace, and thinking of his daughter and grandson who died innocently, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken. He unconsciously covered his chest.

A carriage drove up from a distance, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Chen Mian was getting off the carriage, and said with a half-hearted smile: "Master Lin, you are very old, and you have just experienced the loss of your daughter and grandson." If you are in so much pain, why not just cultivate yourself in the mansion and forcefully break into the palace gate to do it?"

Regardless of the pain in his chest, Lin Yuanzhi straightened his back, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Zhongshu Ling, I heard that you need your permission to see His Majesty, is this serious?"

Chen Mian was gently stroking his blue and white beard, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, Your Majesty was in grief because of the passing of His Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness, and he had no intention of political affairs, so he handed over all the appropriate size and size to the Secretary of State. .”

After finishing speaking, Chen Mianzheng added: "After hearing that Her Royal Highness was poisoned and died, the imperial physicians diagnosed that her womb was a formed male fetus. Although it was full term and would be born soon, it was suffocated to death in the womb. If the dead queen knew that she killed her own flesh and blood to save her younger sister, would she regret it?"

"Shut up!" Lin Yuanzhi was furious when he heard the words, and cursed: "Chen Mianzheng, what are you? You have read sage books in vain, and you have vainly commented on the late queen. You are so brave. Taking bribes and breaking the law, intending to rebel!"

"What is Master Shangshu talking about? Why can't I understand a word?" Chen Mian smiled instead of anger, glanced sideways at Lin Yuanzhi and said, "That's why you entered the palace, right? It's clear that His Majesty's imperial household Minister of the Ministry of Shang Shixu Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Gaizhi went to the northern border to personally investigate the matter. They found out that the general of the northern border, Lu Anmin, had colluded with Beiyan to invade the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court. Oh, by the way, who knows that you have always been at odds with me in politics, and you are close friends with that Lu Anmin. Could it be that today you are going to reverse the case for your friend who is a traitor? Or...you are also one of the cases. ring?"

"What did you say?" Lin Yuanzhi was very angry, and because of the recent death of Lin Kongqing, he had been too sad, and just now he was in a hurry, and he was in severe pain, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood for a while.

Chen Mian was seeing him spitting blood, so he whispered in his ear to stimulate him deliberately: "Thinking back then, who didn't envy you, my lord? As a minister of officials, and the eldest daughter is the queen, don't you know that the time and fate are the same? I'm afraid that some people are born with low life and no blessings! This is His Majesty's eldest son, almost, almost your Lin Yuanzhi's grandson will be your future Majesty! Although my daughter is slightly inferior and cannot marry His Majesty, my daughter My grandson is the son of King Zhao. Even if I don’t do this Zhongshu Ling, I can enjoy my life and enjoy my grandchildren. What about you? Lord Shangshu, your eldest daughter is dead, and your second daughter was almost killed by her son-in-law. The fortune of your Lin family is here!"

"You mean..." The more Lin Yuanzhi thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he said in shock, "Could it be that Kong Qing was caught by you..."

Chen Mian laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha, Mr. Lin, don't swear without evidence! How do I know that she will really eat that piece of spicy beef? If you want to blame, blame yourself. The cause you planted yourself is the only one you can eat." Such a bad result!" After that, he possessed himself and said softly: "Do you still remember the apprentice Li Zilong that you killed in righteousness? He has two good daughters just like you. I didn't expect that just these two people are enough. Let your Lin family overthrow!"

Lin Yuanzhi replied: "Li Zilong corrupted the law by corrupting the people and harming the common people. He deserves to die! This old man did nothing wrong!"

Chen Mian was looking at Lin Yuanzhi coldly, and said with disdain: "You have done nothing wrong, you are upright, you would rather bend than bend, but you don't leave room for anything, you don't show affection, bad luck will only come to you again and again On my daughter!"

Hearing that Lin Yuanzhi missed Lin Jingmo in the mansion, he was so anxious that he vomited another mouthful of blood. His attendants hurriedly helped him up. He turned around and looked at the palace gate with the white silk floating on it, which was still tightly closed.

Chen Mianzheng smiled and got into the carriage. The carriage drove towards the palace gate and entered the palace gate unimpeded. When he left, he lifted the curtain and said to Lin Yuanzhi, "Go back to the mansion, Shangshu Lin!"

Lin Yuanzhi coughed anxiously again, blood was coughed up in big mouthfuls.

The entourage at the side said: "My lord, go back home."

Lin Yuanzhi looked at the blood remaining on his palm, and knew that he was a candle in the wind, and his time was running out. He had been working for the court for many years, and his body had long since deteriorated.

He shook his head towards the closed palace gate, and told his followers: "Go back to the mansion first to see how the second girl is doing."

The entourage was a little confused: "How about you, Master Shangshu?"

Lin Yuanzhi took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Old man...there is one last thing to do."

After finishing speaking, he broke free from the support of his entourage, turned around and walked towards the stairs on the side of the palace gate.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the entourage hurried to Lin's mansion.

He ran all the way back to the Lin Mansion, entered the hall, and saw Lin Jingmo in plain clothes guarding Lin Kongqing's spirit, he knelt down in front of Lin Jingmo and cried, "The second girl is not good!"

Lin Jingmo saw that his body and feet were covered with dust, and he was panting as if he had run back. She looked outside, but she didn't see Lin Yuanzhi, so she hurriedly asked, "What happened? Where's Daddy?"

"The big thing is bad!" The attendant said: "Master Shangshu failed to enter the palace, but was stopped outside the door. I don't know what Zhongshu Ling said to him. After hearing this, Your Excellency vomited blood, and finally remained silent. Up to the city gate!"

"What?! Daddy vomited blood?" Lin Jingmo was startled and frightened when he heard this. He lost his position for a moment, felt his heart tremble, and ran out of the door as if he missed a beat.
