After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Perhaps, the prince had this hobby before."

Xiao Minshen recalled the thin man he had caught at Minister Gao's house before.

At that time, he had a sweat towel hidden in his arms.

He ordered Fulu to check, and found out that the handkerchief belonged to the prince.

Minister Gao's eldest son, who is handsome in appearance, works under the Crown Prince.

At that time, Xiao Minshen thought that the prince had accidentally dropped it when he went to Minister Gao's house to discuss something.

Now that I think about it, it should be Minister Gao’s eldest son who has had an ambiguous relationship with the prince for a long time.

Minister Gao should also be aware of this, so he feels even more sorry for his youngest son.

In order to keep his youngest son alive, he sold out all the other people.

He had long understood that the relationship between his eldest son and the crown prince would sooner or later drag the Gao family into hell.

Therefore, he kept all the evidence of his contacts with the prince early on.

In this way, he wanted to give his younger son a chance of survival.

"This is too confusing!" Shen Yunjin couldn't accept it.

"Do you remember that before Princess Goryeo left, she once said that she had a secret to tell the king."

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Minshen spoke.

Shen Yunjin nodded, "I remember, I remember that day, when the prince came back, he was very sad."

"What did Princess Goryeo say to make the prince so depressed?"

Xiao Minshen leaned close to Shen Yunjin's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Shen Yunjin's eyes widened.

She covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

She looked at Xiao Minshen in disbelief, and Xiao Minshen nodded.

"Then, sir, what should we do next?"

Shen Yunjin asked cautiously.

Xiao Minshen showed a trace of sarcasm on his face, "What can I do? Everything is up to my father."

Shen Yunjin also fell silent.

After a while, she looked at Xiao Minshen and said, "My Lord, how about we go to your fiefdom?"

"By then, we won't have to worry about this mess anymore."

The King of Qi's fiefdom was far away, in the remote west.

It's a remote place, and it's a good place to escape from the world.

"Before, this king did have this plan."

"Then let's go quickly. I'll have someone pack up right away. It will take a month to walk from here to the fiefdom."

Shen Yunjin struggled to get out of Xiao Minshen's arms.

Xiao Minshen hurriedly stopped her, "Your belly is so big, how can you withstand a long journey?"

"If something unexpected happens, how will you let me live?"

Shen Yunjin touched her stomach and lay down again in frustration.

The baby in the belly seemed to sense the mother's disdain and kicked anxiously.

Shen Yunjin patted his belly gently, "Naughty."

Xiao Minshen also reached out and touched her belly, trying to comfort the restless child inside.

"Don't worry, it's not time to leave yet."

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby. I have my own way to protect you and your child."

Half of the mine had been dug out, and Xiao Minshen ordered the craftsmen to make weapons, hide them among the food and grass, and transport them all to the deep mountains and hide them there.

Except for the guards who had to stay on the farm to guard it, all the others were arranged to go into the mountains.

Now, we just have to wait for the iron mine to be fully mined so that all the people can be relocated.

Xiao Minshen whispered all the arrangements to Shen Yunjin.

"There are now more than twenty of those Ferghana horses."

"It's a pity that the bloodlines of the horses bred later are not as authentic as those of the first batch."

"It would be great if the Goryeo princess's horse could be bred again."

Xiao Minshen thought for a moment and then said, "I heard that Princess Gaoli gave my second brother a son."

"Does the palace know?"

"They probably don't know. My second brother kept it a secret and didn't even send a letter to the palace."

This was the news secretly sent back by Xiao Minshen's spy who was planted next to the second prince.

"You don't have to go out these days unless you have something to do. Please postpone all the banquets that can be postponed."

Xiao Minshen was worried that the prince would take action against Shen Yunjin.

"Okay." Shen Yunjin agreed. Anyway, she didn't want to go as she was pregnant.

In the palace, Concubine Lin’s birthday is coming.

The tributes from outside the palace kept flowing into the palace.

Among the gifts sent that day was a piece of silk brocade with phoenix tail flowers and gold thread.

Lady Lin fell in love with him at first sight.

She ordered the people in the sewing department to make a new dress for her to wear on her birthday.

The people in the needlework department worked hard for several days and nights and finally finished it on the birthday.

After Lady Lin put it on, she looked even more graceful and beautiful.

The emperor praised it after seeing it.

After Concubine Lin and the emperor drank a few glasses of wine, they felt extremely itchy all over their bodies.

She thought it was because of her new clothes, but when the emperor took off her clothes at night, she was frightened.

The emperor saw that Concubine Lin's body was covered with large rashes, so he immediately avoided her.

When the imperial physician arrived, he confirmed after taking Concubine Lin's pulse that she had been infected with smallpox.

The emperor quickly asked the imperial physician to take his pulse.

After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician told him that this type of smallpox was transmitted through clothing.

Only long-term contact with clothes can cause infection.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Because there is a banquet tonight, the Emperor and Concubine Lin don't have much contact.

Concubine Lin cried and asked the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation, saying that someone must be trying to frame her.

Concubine Lin’s bedroom was sealed.

The emperor, whose interest was disturbed, ordered a quick investigation to find out who was so bold as to frame his harem.

What if that person was really targeting him?

The only people who could touch Concubine Lin’s clothes were people from Concubine Lin’s palace and people from the Garment Bureau.

The Ministry of Justice immediately imprisoned all the relevant people and interrogated them one by one.

The final clue actually pointed to the imperial merchant who presented the cloth as a gift.

The Ministry of Justice immediately brought people in and put all those related to the imperial merchants in jail, awaiting the emperor's final judgment.

And this imperial merchant was actually Mrs. Shen’s maiden family.

When Mrs. Shen received the letter from her parents' home, her legs went limp with fear.

She hurriedly called a carriage and rushed back to her parents' home.

"Why were my mother, brother and father thrown into jail?"

As soon as Mrs. Shen entered the room, she rushed to her mother and asked.

Her mother, Qin, was also at a loss.

"Mother doesn't know what's going on either. Now, I've asked your nephew to find out."

Mrs. Shen's nephew is the only person in the family who doesn't like doing business.

He was the only male in the family who escaped the disaster.

"Sister-in-law, what happened? Why was my husband locked up?"

Several of Qin's sisters-in-law walked in from outside the door.

Several brothers of the Qin family run businesses together. Because of the relationship between Lord Shen and King Qi, the Qin family has grown bigger and bigger in recent years.

On weekdays, the sisters-in-law were very respectful to Qin.

At this time, they all glared at her, demanding an explanation from her.
