Second spring

The hall was eerily quiet.

Mrs. Lin knelt very steadily and patiently.

After a long time, a chanting came from outside the hall: "The emperor is here!"

The eunuch's voice was always unavoidably high-pitched, Mrs. Lin faintly felt that something was wrong, she moved her body out of the way.A pair of coiled dragon boots stopped in front of Mrs. Lin.Mrs. Lin pinched her palm tightly with her fingers, taking advantage of the pain, she calmly said: "My wife Lin Feng kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Hmm." Jing Hedi didn't know if he agreed, so naturally he didn't let Mrs. Lin get up, so he walked past her, walked towards the steps, and walked up to the high throne.

"The emperor came just in time." The empress dowager said indifferently: "Lin Fengshi came to pick up Lin Shiyuan's son back to the mansion today, what does the emperor think?" Mrs. Lihua, she didn't even bother to say it.However, she and Jing Hedi are not their own mother and child, and Mrs. Lihua is someone Jing Hedi cares about, so she has no need to decide anything.What's more, she didn't decide anything at all.Now that Emperor Jinghe arrived in time, he can decide on his own affairs.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, Mrs. Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she had no choice but to deal with it cautiously.

"I remember that the old lady of the Lin family has four sons, two daughters-in-law, and several grandchildren... The Lin family is prosperous, and it is not necessary for a married woman to take care of the sick? Could it be that the Lin family is all unfilial people? ? If this is the case, then I have to ask..."

Theoretically, this is indeed the case. With a son, a married woman does not have to go back to her mother's house to serve her illness.

"Reporting to the emperor, there are not many mothers left. The only thing I miss is a daughter who is married far away. I beg the emperor to remember the last loving mother's heart and fulfill the old man's last wish." Mrs. Lin said calmly.

The old lady is not a simple illness, but dying.The old man wanted to see his daughter, but if he wanted to forcefully stop him, it would be bad... Hearing what this person said, at this time, he still refused to let Lin Yuan'er leave the palace? !

While Mrs. Lin was thinking about it, she heard Jing Hedi said indifferently: "So that's the case. I just don't know how much time the old lady in the house has left?"

Mrs. Lin's voice showed some grief, and said: "Thanks to the emperor for asking. The minister's wife is very grateful. According to the two imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, my mother is only half a year old. She misses her own daughter day and night, and begs the emperor for mercy. Complete Madam Lihua's heart of sincerity and filial piety."

Jing Hedi suddenly laughed lowly.

Is this request funny?Other people's parents are dying soon, even if you are the emperor, you can't laugh when you hear the news, right?Could it be that the emperor has been doing this for a long time.Thinking is no longer like ordinary people?Mrs. Lin was startled again, her body was still steady, but her fingers stuck to the sapphire ground could not help but jump.

"Lin Feng..." Jing Hedi said with sarcasm, "Could it be that your Lin family thinks that I refuse to let Mrs. Lihua leave the palace? Is that a foolish king who insists on going his own way, always doing strong things? Humph! It's not that bad!"

Mrs. Lin was horrified when she heard the words, she clenched her teeth so that the words that did not allow any doubts would be blurted out!only.The meaning of Jing Hedi's words is that Lin Yuan'er is willing to stay in the palace and refuses to leave!how so!The last time she saw Lin Yuan'er.Lin Yuan'er is clearly a living dead!This is impossible!

Although she believed so in her heart, Mrs. Lin still pleaded guilty in time, saying that she never dared to think like this: "...It's just that my mother misses her daughter and hopes that she will return home. The emperor clearly learned that since it is my mother's last wish, as children, we only It can be fulfilled. There is no other word."

No matter how mocking and dissatisfied Jing Hedi was, Mrs. Lin only insisted on the word "filial piety" sincerely.Any other ambiguities will never be mentioned, and Emperor Jinghe and the Empress Dowager will never have a reason to offend her - she has no choice but to go to the palace to have an audience, but she doesn't want to confess herself here.And she firmly believes that if there is a slightly decent reason, the two above will never politely teach herself a profound lesson.

There was another suffocating silence in the hall.

Even though the jade stone was cold, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sweat a little on her forehead - the Empress Dowager has always been very willing to act according to the rules and principles, so Mrs. Lin knew she was not afraid of her.But this Jinghe Disheng's heart is deep and unpredictable, which made her feel very stressed.

"Madame Lihua has a loving mother's heart, and she can't let go of Concubine Wan. I'm afraid she won't be able to return to her mother's house to take care of her illness for the time being." After a long time, Jing Hedi said slowly.

A trace of pity flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes.If Lin Yuan'er can't be picked up today, I'm afraid there will be overwhelming troubles in the future. It's hard to imagine what will happen to the Lin family and what will happen to the Lin family.Mrs. Lin didn't believe what Jing Hedi said about Lin Yuan'er's reluctance to leave, but at this time, she wouldn't make a scene irrationally and suffer immediate losses.Soon, she said sincerely: "My wife, please be willing to meet Mrs. Lihua and say something so that I can comfort my mother after returning home, so as to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and ask the emperor for permission."

Mrs. Lin was very quiet, but Jing Hedi couldn't make use of it.Moreover, she made such a sincere request with good reason and evidence. After rejecting it once, Jing Hedi couldn't refuse Mrs. Lin's cautious and reasonable request again, saying: "I agree."

"My wife thanked the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Mrs. Lin thanked her sincerely.

Soon, a big eunuch came over and motioned Mrs. Lin to get up.After Mrs. Lin resigned, she followed the eunuch out of the main hall, and soon she walked out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"I don't know what to call my father-in-law?" Mrs. Lin asked very politely.

"Our family name is Zhou, so it is good for Madam to call our family Grandpa Zhou." The eunuch looked calm, neither arrogant nor humble, and said: "Madam Lin please hurry up, Madam Lihua doesn't live close by."

Mrs. Lin thought about it, but she didn't think that Lin Shiqing had introduced this Eunuch Zhou, so she secretly remembered it.She heard what Eunuch Zhou said, and she didn't ask Mrs. Lihua where she lived. Since she was in the palace to take care of Concubine Wan, why didn't she say something stupid like living with Concubine Wan, and said, "Please trouble Eunuch."

At the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Li Yueying and Lin Changjia were no longer there.

Mrs. Lin didn't ask any more questions, she just quietly followed Eunuch Zhou forward.Comparing the sketches written down in her mind, Mrs. Lin found that she and a few people gradually walked to the northeast corner of the palace.This is considered to be a relatively remote place in the palace, and there is no large palace built. Behind the rockery and strange stones is a small courtyard.On the black and red plaque, the word "Wangyou" is elegant and free.From the courtyard, the sound of ding-dong guqin is constantly floating, which has the meaning of high mountains and flowing water, secluded from the world.

Is this where Lihua's wife, Lin Yuaner, lives?Wangyou Wangyou... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
