On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Because Lin Zhen planned to recuperate these days, he did not go into the palace to see Murong Yan.

As for whether Murong Yan would miss him while looking at the migratory birds in the sky, he had no control over it.

As the prince of a royal palace, he has to work even if he doesn't have a job.

This is the most distressing thing, just like an author who writes online articles has no rest all year round.

It seems that Lin Zhen has never given himself a break.

After the Qian-Chu War was over, he planned to go out and have some fun, taking his wives and concubines to see the primitive world without haze.

The simplest study in the palace almost became the center of his career, with countless people, both men and women, coming to report every day.

Among them, Hou Chun went in and out four times, reporting on the search for Gu Nanshan, delivering letters from the three generals of the guards in Beijing, talking about the recovery of Cao Xiong and Ergou, and what instructions Lin Zhenxian had given.

Soon after, Zhang Li also came over to chat and discuss with Lin Zhen about the development and takeover of new industries.

The last one is Yue Wu.

The grain collection was not going smoothly.

Because it wasn't harvest season yet, and the Gu family had recently taken away a lot of their stored grain, the people immediately raised the price of grain and became very wary whenever they heard someone was collecting it. So far, they had only received 8,000 kilograms of wheat, rice, and other grains, a far cry from Lin Zhen's goal.

Well, the autumn harvest is coming soon, we’ll talk about it then.

Now Murong Yan has complete confidence in herself, so it seems that Lin Zhenxian will not be short of food on the front line.

Speaking of food, Lin Zhen thought of the battle between Qian and Chu.

Shouldn't I tell Lin Zhenxian about this matter in advance so that he can prepare early?

But thinking about the old man's spoiled character, Lin Zhen had to give up.

Even Lin Zhen could guess what he would say.

The old man must have had a look of disdain on his face. He stroked his beard while reading a military book and said nonchalantly, "Oh, do those rats from Nanchu deserve my attention? Get lost! Just tell me when a fight breaks out."

Lin Zhen grinned and thought, forget it...

As long as I take care of food, weapons, logistics and other matters, I will not lose this battle.

Besides, Chu Xiling is still in his hands and can be used at the critical moment.

The next morning, Lin Zhen, accompanied by Zhang Li, Yue Wu, Qingwen, and Huanbi, had a good breakfast at Yilian Pavilion.

Lin Zhenxian really took out the thousand-year-old ginseng, and regardless of whether it was useful or not, he insisted on boiling it into a medicine soup and feeding it to Qingwen. Qingwen was so scared that she hid in Lin Zhen's arms and cried loudly.

Finally, he gave up after being persuaded by Sun Zhitui.

After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Lin Zhen gave Qingwen a few instructions and let her go out.

Less rest during pregnancy and appropriate activities will be more conducive to delivery. This is the experience passed down for thousands of years.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhenxian scolded Lin Zhen again, and then stopped caring about him.

As soon as he walked out of Yilian Pavilion, he saw Hou Chun standing at the door. He clasped his fists and said, "Sir, Tan Wu from the Dali Temple is here and wants to see you. He's waiting in the reception room."

"I understand." Lin Zhen nodded, not surprised at all.

Tan Wu sent me an invitation the day before yesterday, but I didn’t reply. I guess it was because of this incident.

In the reception room, Tan Wu's face was full of vicissitudes, even his beard was white, as if he had just experienced a great ups and downs.

Seeing Lin Zhen coming out, he hurriedly stood up and said with a look of panic on his face: "Your subordinate greets the prince."

"Master Tan, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Lin Zhen sat in the main seat, and Tan Wu sat upright below him, his butt barely touching the chair, his hands on his knees, looking very reserved.

Seeing his behavior, Lin Zhen knew that he had something to ask of him, so he smiled and said, "Master Tan, what brings you here today?"

"To be honest, Your Highness, I have come to apologize for my crime."

"Oh? What crime has Lord Tan committed?"

"Last time, the prince wanted to see Suo Liwen, but I refused, which offended the prince, so I came here."

Lin Zhen put the teacup on the table and pretended to be indifferent.

"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart. Sir Tan is fine and can go back."

"Uh..." Lin Zhen's cold attitude made Tan Wu feel a little overwhelmed. "I have something else to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"explain."

Tan Wu took out an envelope from his arms, walked over and handed it to Lin Zhen with trembling hands.

He hunched over, his legs shaking uncontrollably, as if the letter weighed tens of millions of pounds.

Lin Zhen looked at it suspiciously and found that there was no signature. It was an empty letter, which made him even more confused.

Then Tan Wu said, "Your Highness, this is Suo Liwen's confession. Every word of it is true and was not tortured by me. Suo Liwen died the day before yesterday. I dare to ask Your Highness to explain to His Majesty and spare my life."

Lin Zhen took the letter and opened it and read it openly without letting him sit down.

In fact, this was not a letter, but a confession with fingerprints and bloodstains on it, soaking through the back of the paper, which looked very horrifying.

And looking at the order of the records, this is not the result of one day or one time of interrogation.

The beginning of the confession described how Soliwen colluded with the Gu family to commit corruption, how many unjust and wrong cases were created, and what punishments the wrongly convicted officials and their families received.

Lin Zhen was not surprised by these.

When Gu Yunting was in a high political position, this kind of thing happened all over his hands.

But the story became more and more mysterious later on, and Solliven even said that he had killed the prince, which indirectly led to the previous emperor having no offspring.

And it is recorded very clearly.

What was the place, what happened, what was the result, why didn’t the late emperor notice it, why did he do this, etc.

Good guy.

No wonder the late emperor had no offspring and only Murong Yan was left. It turned out that Suo Liwen had been in collusion with Gu Yunting for a long time.

The purpose is to make the emperor have no offspring so that he can abdicate, or to wait for the previous emperor to die so that they can seize power directly.

As for Lin Zhenxian, they actually decided to join forces with Nan Chu to deal with him.

What a deep calculation.

Unfortunately, with the help of Gu Beichen, the truth was revealed and all the plans came to nothing. The Gu family, the Lian family, the Suo family and all the families that colluded with the Gu family were imprisoned, and Murong Yan made a fortune.

Fortune plays tricks on people.

I don’t know how Murong Yan will react when she hears this news.

I guess she will be so angry that she will punish Suo Liwen and his entire family, and she will not even let Tan Wu go.

Well, no matter who goes, Murong Yan will be implicated by this news, so it is indeed most appropriate for me to go.

But why should I help him?

He used to be Gu Yunting's man.

Lin Zhen placed the confession on the table. He didn't offer to help, nor did he refuse. Instead, he asked, "Why do you think I would help you? Why should I help you? What can you give me?"

Tan Wu bent even lower.

"I really don't know who to turn to. The Crown Prince has the whole country at heart, and he's a favorite of Your Majesty. If you're willing to save me from this difficult time, I'll be content to follow your lead from now on!"

Lin Zhen sneered, "Haha, your loyalty is child's play to me. It doesn't move me."

"This humble servant... knows one more thing, but if I tell you, you must help me, or I will be completely killed without a burial place."

"Tell me, if it's really a secret, I can help you once."

Tan Wu gritted his teeth, thought about the plan in his mind, and finally knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Lin Zhen.

"Sir, the young prince...your father, didn't die of illness, but...was poisoned."

"What!?"

Lin Zhen screamed and subconsciously turned around to look.

Only when he realized that there was no one else standing there except Huanbi did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Oh my God.

If the old man knew this news, the sky would fall.

"Tell me carefully what happened."

Tan Wu's voice was very deep, as if he was deliberately making the matter sound very serious to make Lin Zhen think something.

"It's Liu Hanyang. Back then, he and I joined Prime Minister Gu...Gu Yunting's school. This is his token of loyalty. Gu Yunting's goal is to end the royal family and the Lin family. That way, once the late emperor and the prince die, he can control the army and become the new ruler of Daqian."

"My father and grandfather are dead, but I'm still here, right?"

"At that time... Gu Yunting didn't take you seriously, Prince. He even said that Lin Zhen was just a playboy who could be crushed to death with a flick of his wrist."

"Hahaha, this is really interesting. Someone who dares to say such big words actually ends up dying at the hands of his own concubine. It really is karma."

Lin Zhen felt sad for Gu Yunting and was also shocked by such a huge and insidious plan.

No wonder Liu Shuyao insisted on asking him to lick his chest when he died. It turned out that he learned it from Liu Hanyang.

It was ridiculous that I thought Liu Shuyao wanted to die with me.

Although. Even if he didn't encounter the chess and card Buddha, Lin Zhen would still kill Liu Shuyao.

But he did become more vigilant because of the appearance of the Chess and Card Buddha.

Next time we meet, I must really thank him, and at least treat him to a few more drinks of unfiltered distilled liquor.

Lin Zhen withdrew his thoughts and found that Tan Wu was still kneeling on the ground.

He risked his life to reveal these two things in order to seek the protection of the Lin family and keep his official position.

But in fact, Lin Zhen doesn't think so.

If these two things were to be exposed, Tan Wu would surely die.

Because Solivan is dead.

Murong Yan will definitely investigate his mistakes if he fails to do his job well.

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that his motives were impure and he was a traitor with a criminal record. As a state official, he actually colluded with the country and betrayed it, which was a capital crime.

Tan Wu seemed to sense something and said, "Sir, I have told you everything I know. If you don't agree, I will die."

Lin Zhen looked at him indifferently, trying to see something from his face.

But unfortunately, a person who has already been involved in officialdom will not easily reveal his flaws.

Forget it. Killing Tan Wu now will do me no good. It is better to give him a chance for now and kill him when there is a suitable person to replace the Dali Temple in the future.

Lin Zhen picked up the confession and put it back into the envelope, saying, "Master Tan, please go back first. I will report this to the emperor and will not delay your official career."

Tan Wu, as if he had been pardoned, bowed down again.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness! From now on, Tan Wu will follow your lead and will never betray you!"
