Second spring

The lightning has stopped.

The heavy rain is pouring down, against the backdrop of thick cloudy clouds, like splashed ink.

Lin Shiqing was wearing a coir raincoat, and had been standing at the back door of the Lin residence for a long time.Just as the bell was ringing over the palace, Lin Shiqing received a note telling him that he must stand here to pick up the person himself. The secret code was nine knocks and one beat, that is to say, the visitor would knock nine times at a uniform speed, and then Hit the door hard again.

Just when Jing and Emperor passed away, the bell was still ringing in the sky above Shengjing, he had to treat it with caution when he received such a note.The sudden and strange death of Jing Hedi was jaw-dropping, not to mention what happened behind him, the position he left must be established first.

However, Emperor Jinghe was in good health when he was in the age of dragon and tiger. When did he consider the matter of heirs?Not only did he not mention it, but even the ministers prepared that Emperor Jinghe could live for more than ten or twenty years, so he didn't mention this to add trouble to Emperor Jinghe.Even the three princes never seemed to have thought about preparing to woo the courtiers. They were just trying to curry favor in front of Emperor Jinghe, they were still competing for impression points, and they were not married. It's really half a catty to eight two, no one has a better chance than the other.

From the point of view of origin, the three of them do not occupy the heirloom.Although the first prince is the eldest, his birth mother is of low status. She was a maidservant of the third prince's mansion in the past, and he was not valued by Emperor Jinghe. Until now, he is only a noble concubine; Very tall, but it is a pity that he died young, and the imperial concubine was also awarded after death; the third prince is the son of the concubine De in the palace, and he has more face in front of King Jinghe than his two elder brothers.But he is only 13 years old, strictly speaking, he cannot be considered an adult...

As for the character and ability of the three princes... It's hard to judge the character, and in terms of ability - they are all teenagers who haven't had a family, they haven't had much contact with political affairs, and they have received any errands alone. It's also hard to say about their abilities...

No matter how you look at it, it's a big problem.In addition, the courtiers have their own thoughts...

I'm afraid, Daxian will be in chaos for a while... Lin Shiqing thought of this.Also very worried.With this rain in Shengjing, the drought has been resolved, but it will not be easy for the victims to resume production afterward; If the new emperor cannot be established, even if these things are not delayed, I am afraid that they will be much more sloppy.So……

It is the common people who suffer.

Before, although Lin Shiqing was extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Jing He because of Lin Yuan'er, it cannot be denied that Emperor Jing He was at least a responsible and capable emperor.And now, his death is so unbearable, it is really...

Ugh.

Lin Shiqing shook his head.

The statement of his resignation has been submitted to the Ministry of Officials.It's under Liu Ge's hands, but it hasn't been approved yet.But the current situation of his Lin family.The approval is only one day earlier and one day later.And these two days, he has already asked for leave, and he did not go to the priest.

He didn't hide his resignation from office, and he must know everything he should know.So, at this critical juncture of the succession of the throne, who will find the useless self?

Lin Shiqing was thinking wildly.Suddenly heard a movement on the door, immediately startled.Stand up straight and count silently.One, two... nine... Boom!

Hearing the loud bang, Lin Shiqing pulled the latch and opened the door.

Standing in front of him were three men in bamboo hats and coir raincoats.Two petite individuals stood in front, they should be women, and their faces could not be seen clearly; one person was gradually retreating, and under Lin Shiqing's eyes, he quickly disappeared in the heavy rain.

"Brother. I'm Yuan'er."

Lin Shiqing was horrified when he heard the words, his body shook, and he hurriedly said: "Come in!" After the two stepped into the door, Lin Shiqing closed and locked the door again, with an ugly expression on his face.

How could Lin Yuaner appear at this time!

How did she walk out of the palace as a woman!Whose person was it that sent her just now!

And right now... Could it be that she is related to the sudden death of Jing and Di!

"What's going on!" Lin Shiqing had a hard time calming down, and said, "What have you done!"

If Lin Yuan'er is really related to Jing Hedi's death, then once it is known, the entire Lin family...his father, brother, wife and children, this big family, I'm afraid they are all dead characters!

At this moment, Lin Shiqing even began to think that someone should immediately notify Lin Yijia and Lin Jiakang to leave immediately...

"Brother." Lin Yuan'er's voice could not hear any emotion: "I want to see my mother."

Is it her own sister whom she once loved very much... Lin Shiqing's heart softened, and she stopped pressing, nodded, and took the lead in walking ahead.

It was raining cats and dogs, and no one could be seen along the way.

Lin Yuan'er's body was even more fragile in the heavy rain, but she was always upright and stubborn, walking slowly but steadily.

There are not many idlers in Rongxi Hall, only Mrs. Li and a maid are guarding here.

Seeing Lin Shiqing coming over in such a suit, followed by two rain men whose faces could not be clearly seen, she was very surprised at the moment, got up and was about to speak, when Lin Shiqing said to her: "Sisters and sisters, please go and invite father, your sister-in-law, second and third brothers Come here. Then you guard the door here yourself."

"Yes, I'll go right away." A little panic flashed in Xiao Li's eyes, and she hurried out with her maid.

Lin Yuan'er and Yan Zhi took off their coir raincoats and bamboo hats.

The old lady was falling asleep.

Lin Yuan'er approached the bed slowly, staring at the old lady quietly with her cold eyes, her expression was unclear, and she didn't make much movement, just watching quietly.

Lin Shiqing glanced at Yan Zhi inquiringly, and saw that she was politely returning the salute to him, her face seemed to have a lot of shock left, but she was not panicked, knowing that either Yan Zhi didn't know enough, or the matter was not as big as he thought...Hope It must be the latter, Lin Shiqing thought.

The members of the Lin family came very quickly.

Seeing Lin Yuan'er standing in front of the bed, she couldn't help being taken aback, but turned pale with shock.Lin Shigui, who came one step ahead, talked to Lin Yuaner, but Lin Yuaner ignored him and stood still quietly.

Until Mr. Lin came in.

When Mr. Lin saw Lin Yuan'er, his face darkened immediately, and he said, "How did you get out?"

How did she get out at this critical moment!

"Is there a way to wake up my mother for a while? I have a gift for her." Lin Yuan'er did not answer, but said slowly.

Lin Shiqing sighed and said, "Yes. It's just...it will affect her condition."

"It's okay." Lin Yuan'er shook her head and said, "Mother will be very happy to see this gift from me."

"Sister..." Lin Shiqi disagreed.Every day the old lady became seriously ill, he became more and more disturbed.He really couldn't imagine a life without his mother, so he cared more about the old lady's body than anyone else.Although the medicine can make the old lady sober for a short time, but sobriety has a price.

"Qi'er, don't worry, mother will definitely like it." Lin Yuan'er didn't even look at Lin Shiqi.

Mr. Lin snorted coldly, and motioned Mrs. Lin to fetch the pill, dissolve it in water, and then used a hose to give the old lady the medicine.The medicine was very effective, and after a short wait, the old lady groaned and opened her eyes.

The cloudy eyes are like fish eyes, making it difficult to recognize people.

"Mother." There was water in Lin Yuan'er's eyes, but she immediately became clear again.

"Who is it?" The old lady struggled, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li helped her up, and pulled the cushion to make her half-lying. "Is it Yuaner? Yuaner is back, my Yuaner is back..."

"I brought a present for my mother." Lin Yuan'er took out a scroll from her wide sleeve, as if she was afraid that the old lady would not see clearly, she leaned forward and pressed close to the old lady's eyes before slowly unfolding it.

Under the candlelight, a bright yellow light suddenly appeared in the room.

It's an imperial decree!

Everyone's eyes narrowed.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li happened to be behind the old lady, and they could see very clearly that it was really an imperial decree. It was stamped with the emperor's scarlet seal, which was the treasure of the emperor, so it was true at first glance.

Facing the imperial decree, immediately bow down.But Lin Yuan'er's situation is a bit weird right now. Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li looked at each other without moving.

Lin Yuan'er had already pressed the imperial decree tightly to Old Madam Lin's face, and the two of them did not see the content of the imperial decree clearly.

I saw Lin Yuan'er smiled slightly, with a gentle and admiring smile, and said softly to the old lady Lin: "Mother, look... the daughter personally asked the emperor for you, the second-rank lady, are you satisfied? It's Mrs. Hou It's just the order of the second rank...Mother..."

Upon hearing this, old lady Lin's complexion was filled with ecstasy. She was trembling, but her movements were limited. All she had to do was pray to Lin Yuan'er with a voice like a dream: "Satisfied, mother is satisfied! Yuan'er is the most capable and filial... Yuan'er, mother can't see clearly, can you read to mother?"

"Okay, Yuan'er will read it to mother now." Lin Yuan'er agreed, and instead of looking at the imperial edict, she stared at old lady Lin's eyes and recited the entire imperial edict word by word. The unified rhetoric of rewarding Mrs. Gaoming.

Those remarks were mostly flattering words, and Lin Yuaner was afraid that Mrs. Lin would not be able to understand, so she patiently explained each word for her. After hearing that, Mrs. Lin was full of energy and brilliance—Lin Yuaner did say what she said. That's right, Mrs. Lin really liked her gift...

Maybe it was too excited and too joyful, Mrs. Lin fell asleep again from exhaustion after a while, her right hand, which had already been inflexible, tightly grasped her imperial edict.Mr. Lin wanted to take it over to see if it was true, but he failed.

Subconsciously, people always have strange powers.

"Father, you don't have to doubt it, it's really an imperial decree." Lin Yuan'er was very calm, and said: "Mother has only been obsessed with one imperial order all her life, and her husband and son are unwilling to give it to her. As a daughter, how can I ask for it?" Find a way to make her get what she wants."

"You, you..." Mr. Lin pointed at Lin Yuan'er with trembling fingers, and said angrily, "You unfilial daughter! You really dislike the family style of the Lin family, and you haven't completely ruined it by you! You...you are going to kill me! The Lin family is going to die!" (To be continued.
