Don’t Worry, Father.

Su Mansion.

Yan Yu was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard Ren Dong's voice from outside, "Who?"

"General Nian sent his men to deliver a letter." Lin Yi deliberately disguised his voice, but revealed a jade pendant in his sleeve, which flashed before Ren Dong's eyes.

Ren Dong recognized it as Su Liang's thing at a glance, and her expression changed.

Yan Yu opened the door just in time, "Is it the person sent by Ah Cheng to deliver the letter?"

Ren Dong nodded, "Yes." After saying that, she said to Lin Yi, "Come in."

Yan Yu saw that the person was unfamiliar, but Ren Dong wanted to invite her into her room. She was puzzled, but did not say anything.

After entering the house, Lin Xi returned to his original voice, smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm Lin Xi, Xiaonian's friend."

Yan Yu was stunned, and then her face lit up, "It turns out to be Mr. Lin! Ah Cheng always mentions you in his letters, come and sit down!"

Ren Dong was a little surprised. After confirming Lin Xi's identity, she went out to wait outside, leaving them to talk in the room. Recently, the Su Mansion has been watched by someone. Ren Dong knew that it was Duanmu Yi's people, so she was very careful when talking to Yan Yu.

Lin Xi deliberately disguised his identity for the sake of caution.

"Are you hungry? Did you rush here from Jiaye City? Do you want someone to prepare some food?" Yan Yu asked Lin Xi.

Lin Yu shook his head, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm not hungry. I arrived in the evening and went to see the emperor first."

The next moment, Yan Yu asked anxiously, "Is Su Liang okay?"

Lin Yu was instantly happy, "I have to tell Xiaonian when I go back. Sister-in-law saw that I didn't ask if he was okay, so she cared about Su Xiaoliang first."

Yan Yu coughed lightly, "I know Ah Cheng is fine. I have been communicating with him."

"Su Xiaoliang is fine too. He is with Gu Xiaoling." Lin Yu smiled, "Of course, your Ah Cheng is fine too. In fact, I was the one who got into trouble, but I have been rescued by Su Xiaoliang."

Yan Yu showed a happy expression, "Su Liang and Gu Ling are both fine. Everything is fine? They are together? That's great! Are they coming back? "

Lin Yi shook his head, "It's hard to say, maybe they will come back in a while, but not necessarily."

"It's good that everything is fine. They must have a plan for whether to come back or not." Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I also want to thank you. Ah Cheng went to Jiaye City and has been taken care of by your family."

"We are not outsiders, why are you being polite. There is also a happy news to tell my sister-in-law." Lin Yi's lips curled slightly, "Su Xiaoliang is pregnant."

Yan Yu stood up happily, "Really?"

The last time she saw Su Liang and Gu Ling was on the day of their wedding. At that time, Yan Yu suspected that they had discussed another fake marriage, but she didn't expect Su Liang to be pregnant.

Lin Yi knew how Yan Yu and Su Liang knew each other, and could fully understand why she cared so much about Su Liang and was so excited at the moment.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi handed Yan Yu the letter from Nian Jincheng.

Yan Yu finished reading the letter quickly. There was nothing in the letter, just saying that he missed her very much.

"Are you leaving tonight?" Yan Yu asked.

Lin Yi shook his head, "I still have some things to do, I will leave in three days."

"Where will you live?" Yan Yu asked.

"Don't worry about this sister-in-law, I have a place to live. There is no rush to reply, I will come again before I leave." Lin Yi said.

As for the details of Su Liang and Gu Ling and Lin Yi's previous experience, as well as his purpose of coming to the capital, Yan Yu did not tell her too much, and Yan Yu did not explore. She only needed to know that Su Liang and Gu Ling were fine, and she would feel at ease.

Regarding the fact that Su Liang's two masters and Qi Jun had gone to Liangguo, Yan Yu had mentioned it in a letter to Nian Jincheng before, and Su Liang and Gu Ling already knew it.

Now Lao Bai, Lao Mu and Qi Jun have not returned yet, and there is no news of them at home.

Lin Yi asked a few questions and then got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Su Mansion, Lin Qi realized that someone was following him. He walked around the city for a few times, shook off the spy, and went to the Lin Mansion.

When he met Lin Shuzhi, Lin Qi told him in detail what happened and the purpose of his coming to the capital.

After listening, Lin Shuzhi sighed repeatedly, "It's right for them not to come back for the time being, as long as they are safe. As for the emperor, if he can make up his mind to resolve the conflict, Xiaoliang and Xiaogu will consider whether to come back. Otherwise, we have to make other plans. Don't worry about us, Yusheng's sister is going to be the queen, and the emperor will not rashly move us because of Xiaoliang and Xiaogu."

Lin Qi nodded, "That's good. The emperor asked me to wait for three days, and I will know what the emperor will choose in three days."

When Lin Qi heard that Su Liang was pregnant, Lin Shuzhi was also very excited and said yes. His real disciple Ning Jing has long passed away, but Su Liang and Gu Ling both call him Master. He has repeatedly helped the Lin family overcome difficulties, and even saved their entire family's lives. He also prevented Lin Xueqing from marrying into the royal family. He is simply the guardian of their family.

Lin Shuzhi has always been low-key and conservative, but now when he heard Lin Qi talk about the "treasonous" things that Su Liang and Gu Ling were going to do, he didn't think it was wrong or would bring risks to the Lin family. As long as Su Liang and Gu Ling decided something, he would absolutely support it.

"I won't write to Xiao Liang." Lin Shuzhi said, "but I happen to have a letter here that I want to give to her."

Lin Shuzhi went to the study to get the letter and brought it to Lin Qi.

"What is this?" Lin Qi was a little curious about who wrote it.

"It's a letter from my relative, Yu Sheng's father, sent back a few days ago. One is to report safety, and the other is to tell Xiao Liang something." Lin Shuzhi said, "You can open it and read it."

When he heard that it was a letter from Xing Ji from Xuanbei City, and it was related to Su Liang, Lin Qi opened it.

The letter was originally opened, and Lin Shuzhi, his two sons and son-in-law had all read it. This letter was brought by a soldier sent by Xing Ji to the capital to deliver a memorial, and was handed to Lin Bojun.

What Xing Ji said in the letter was that he was poisoned and threatened by people sent by Situ Xie.

But unlike the letter to Duanmu Chen, Xing Ji told the truth in the letter.

Lin Yan saw it halfway and looked confused, "Yuan Ying? Why have I never heard Su Xiaoliang mention that she has such a friend?"

Lin Shuzhi smiled and said, "It should be the girl who Xiao Gu went to ask for the antidote when Gao Jiabao was poisoned. Last year, Xiao Liang and Xiao Gu were in Liang Kingdom. Didn't Xiao Gu and Emperor Liang beg for a thousand-year snow lotus for another girl? ? I guess the thousand-year-old snow lotus restored the girl's humanity."

"So it's her?" Lin Xie also knew the two things Lin Shuzhi said, "This girl should have been a poison master that Gu Xiaoling knew at the beginning, right? But now she has become a good friend of Su Xiaoliang, and she also did it for Su Xiaoliang's sake. Liang betrayed his master and took risks, he was really compassionate and clear about right and wrong, just like me, haha!”

Lin Shuzhi also smiled, "That's a good girl, and she's very capable." He sighed again, "But this time she betrayed her master and helped Xiaoliang's adoptive father, which may cause trouble for herself. Yusheng's father I am sending this letter to inform Xiao Liang as soon as possible. If the original girl needs help, only Xiao Liang and Xiao Gu can help her. "

Lin Wei nodded, "That's right. I'll hand it over to Su Xiaoliang when I get back. She may know what kind of trouble Yuan Xiaoying will encounter."

Xing Ji also mentioned in the letter that Yuan Ying told Su Liang that the two masters and Qi Jun were safe, that Situ Jing was blind, and that Mrs. Yue was a crazy and vicious woman, all of which were related to Su Liang.

However, Su Liang had already seen Situ Jing and was currently treating him.

Lin Xie confirmed that everything was fine with the Lin family, put the letter away, and left. As for Xing Yusheng and the Duke of Qin, he won't go looking for them. Lin Shuzhi will tell them what needs to be said.

Lin Wei told Yan Yu that he had a place to stay, but it was actually an inn.

In the middle of the night, Lin Wei, who finally finished his business, returned to the inn and fell on the bed, feeling tired and hungry. I regret a little bit that when Yan Yu asked him in the Su Mansion, he should have said he was hungry and got something to eat. But he called sister-in-law and thought that he couldn't cause trouble to Nian Jincheng's wife. After all, it was so late. When I went to Lin's house, I only drank a glass of warm water.

At this time, all restaurants are closed.

Lin Xie lay on the bed hungry, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he got up and lit a lamp, looking left and right, but there was nothing to do and nothing to eat.

I touched my arms and found only Xing Ji's letter from Lin Shuzhi.

Lin Wei opened the letter again, lay on the bed, raised his hands, and read it word by word from beginning to end, trying to divert his attention. It was already dawn if he wanted to eat, and he didn't have the energy to go out and steal something to eat. Besides, he didn't know who had ready-made food at this time.

"Yuan, Ying..." Lin Xian read Yuan Ying's name, imagining what she would look like. She was good at poison. She was definitely not an ordinary girl. She couldn't be gentle and sweet. At least she was much more fierce than Su Xiaoliang. In fact, Su Xiaoliang doesn't look fierce, but she occasionally behaves in a tough manner. The girls among her friends are quite gentle, such as Yan Yu and Lin Xueqing.

Lin Xie read the letter three times and couldn't figure out what President Yuan Ying looked like, but Xu was too tired and finally fell asleep with the letter paper covering his face.

That night, Lin Wei had a dream. In the dream, a woman in red whose face could not be seen clearly was chasing him, waving a colorful whip made of poisonous snake skin. He ran and ran, unable to escape no matter what...

It was daylight and Lin Qian woke up. He felt even more tired and hungry. He didn't change his clothes. After confirming that the disguise was still on, he went out to find something to eat.

…

royal palace.

After the morning session, Duanmu Chen went to the imperial study room to review the memorial. He stopped in the middle and touched his chest. There was something hard, which was the medicine bottle given by Lin Xie last night.

It was close to noon, and Duanmu Chen came out of the imperial study. Chang'an, who was guarding outside, said that there was someone coming from the Queen Mother's palace, and Duanmu Chen was invited to come over and have lunch.

Duanmu Yi, who abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, lived in the Queen Mother Xiao's Palace. Mrs. Xiao is good at cooking and she often cooked by herself in the past. Duanmu Yi likes her most for her caring and gentleness.

When Duanmu Chen arrived, Mrs. Xiao had just finished stewing the last soup.

With a smile on his face, Duanmu Yi waved to Duanmu Chen to sit down, so that he didn't have to be formal, and he really looked like he was doing nothing.

Duanmu Chen sat down. The dishes on the table were very rich, and some of them were quite familiar to him. It was the recipe he took from Su Liang that he gave to Mrs. Xiao.

"Your Majesty, you came just in time." Mrs. Xiao came over with a smile on her face, asked the palace maid to put down the soup cup, and then asked all the servants to leave. In the past few days, Duanmu Chen would report to Duanmu Yi on government affairs every time he had dinner.

Mrs. Xiao served the soup to the father and son. Duanmu Yi took a sip and praised her cooking skills for becoming even better. Duanmu Chen also repeatedly said that it was delicious.

Mrs. Xiao smiled from ear to ear, looking very satisfied with everything now. Her son became the emperor as he wished, her husband no longer goes to other women, and no one in the harem fights with her.

When Duanmu Chen saw this, he narrowed his eyes and finished the bowl of soup silently. When he put down the bowl, Mrs. Xiao had already put a lot of vegetables on the plate for him.

Duanmu Yi finished a bowl of soup and handed the bowl to Mrs. Xiao naturally.

Duanmu Chen quickly stretched out his hand and took it halfway, "I will serve soup to my father."

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, the emperor is the most filial person. Today's soup is to nourish the body. You should also drink another bowl. You are busy with political affairs, so you must take care of yourself."

"Yes." Duanmu Chen nodded. When serving the soup, he accidentally spilled a drop on the edge of the bowl. He placed it in front of him, took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean. Then he stood up, placed it respectfully in front of Duanmu Yi, and placed the spoon. Put it away, "Father, please use it."

Duanmu Yi chuckled, "Chen'er has always been the most reassuring to me."

A family of three, living in harmony.

When Duanmu Yi finished the second bowl of soup, Mrs. Xiao gave him another dish, but she saw that he suddenly trembled, vomited a mouthful of blood, looked at Duanmu Chen with wide eyes, and raised his hand before pointing at Duanmu Chen. He stiffened up and fell to the ground!

The chopsticks in Mrs. Xiao's hands fell to the ground, she screamed in surprise, and rushed over.

Duanmu Chen slowly put down his chopsticks and walked to the door. An anxious look appeared on his face, and he ordered Dr. Gao to come over immediately.

Because Duanmu Yi wanted to pass the throne and wanted outsiders to think that he was ill, Dr. Gao, the old lady, was waiting in the palace these days.

While waiting for Dr. Gao to come over, Duanmu Chen returned to Duanmu Yi.

Mrs. Xiao was so anxious that she started to cry, "How could this happen? What happened to your father?"

Duanmu Yi was awake, his eyes bulging, staring at Duanmu Chen, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make any sound, and he couldn't raise his hands.

Duanmu Chen knelt beside Duanmu Yi, held his trembling hand, sighed, and whispered, "Father, please don't blame me."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao looked at Duanmu Chen in disbelief, "You...what did you do?"

Duanmu Chen did not answer Xiao, but leaned over and whispered in Duanmu Yi's ear, "I have no choice but to do so. My father and Su Liang have very similar ideas. You both know each other well, and I am caught in the middle. It’s difficult. The Qian Kingdom needs Su Liang and Gu Ling. If my father doesn’t fall, they won’t come back to help me. I think my father will understand me.”

Duanmu Yi became excited, his face flushed, his lips trembled even more, but his voice was unclear. After a while, he vomited blood again.

"Father, don't do this, it's not good for your health." Duanmu Chen stroked Duanmu Yi's heart, "Didn't Father say that everything is for the sake of the country and the overall situation? I am also doing this for the sake of the country and the overall situation. I have no choice but to do this. For that.”

But it was obvious that Duanmu Yi was just retreating as Su Liang expected. He delegated power on the surface, but in fact, Duanmu Chen still had to report to him whatever happened in the court every day. He just hid and pushed Duanmu Chen to that position. to be his puppet, in order to make better use of Su Liang and Gu Ling, and also to reduce his own risk.

At this moment, Duanmu Chen saw clearly. Duanmu Yi's excitement, anger, and unwillingness had nothing to do with the overall situation he had plausibly argued before.

In this way, Duanmu Chen's eyes became firmer and his tone became gentler, "Father, don't worry, everything will be fine. I will ask Su Liang to come back as soon as possible to treat my father."
