Lin Xiu also went home and called people, each of them gave out a whip and let them follow behind, those bastards dared to be lazy, so they whipped hard with the whip.

He had to tear off the tattered cloths on his body while crawling, and at the same time scolded himself for not being human, talking nonsense that he would be punished sooner or later.

Then he climbed a long street without any clothes on, attracting countless people to point and point.

When Zhou and Lin Xiu came back last night, they didn't tell Lin Xingzhi.

And this morning there was another news that those people had their tongues cut out overnight, and they were warned that if they dare to have any wrong thoughts, the next time they will be missing their tongues.

Shi Yan also guessed that this tongue-cutting technique must have been done by His Royal Highness King Li, to precisely solve the problem of these people's fondness for chewing their tongues.

Being frightened like this, he must not dare to think about it anymore, and the days to come will be even worse.

Lin Xingzhi also felt relieved after listening to it, and at the same time felt the love from his mother and elder brother.

He said to Shi Yan, "Sure enough, someone hurts me."

Shi Yan handed him the handkerchief to wipe his face, and said sincerely: "Master, you are so kind, how can no one love you, you are the heart and soul of the whole family."

"Huh," Lin Xingzhi shuddered, "It's too much for you to say that," what kind of heart, it's too nasty.

Lin Xingzhi hurriedly washed and left.

After breakfast, she went to pay her respects to the elders at home. Zhou's reaction when she saw him was much more loving than yesterday afternoon, and she even rubbed Lin Xingzhi's hard-pressed hair, "You have been wronged."

Lin Xingzhi's eyes glanced at the messy hair on the top, and he felt really wronged, but then he thought it was his mother's handwriting, so he said sincerely: "It should," as long as the mother is happy.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't tell that what she said to her son was not the same thing. Seeing that he was not unhappy, she said with a complicated expression: "You have grown up, and you won't come back to act coquettishly and complain when you are wronged. Mother is very pleased."

"But it's also a little sad. In a blink of an eye, you have grown from a baby to a sensible person."

Lin Xingzhi brushed his restless hair, tilted his head in doubt, "Mother, is it too early for you to say this, I'm not married yet."

Zhou: ...

"To shut up!"

She managed to brew up some emotions to comfort her son, but in the end...

Zhou said angrily: "Aren't you short-sighted to see that your old lady is bothering to comfort you?"

Lin Xingzhi felt that this was his mother.

He is different, but he wants everyone he cares about to be the same.

Be self-willed, free and easy, and be the truest self.

Lin Xingzhi smiled brightly at Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, you are the prettiest when you are sloppy."

And made preparations early, and ran away.

Zhou's reaction was a bit slow, and seeing Lin Xingzhi's anger gradually rising when he had already run outside the door, he pointed at Lin Xingzhi with one hand on his hips and roared angrily, "Little bastard, who are you talking about?"

"Come back to me and see if I won't break your dog legs today!"

Lin Xingzhi ran faster, and the fool went back.

Shi Yan followed behind him, and asked earnestly, "Master, are you taking revenge on Madam for ignoring you yesterday afternoon?"

Lin Xingzhi refused to admit it, and hummed twice, "How can you say revenge for the matter between the mother and the child?" It is obvious that the mother is kind and the son is filial.

Shi Yan said that if the feet were not so cheerful, he would definitely believe it.

Afterwards, Lin Xingzhi went to see his younger sister, Lin Wan. After arguing about who was more favored at home, the two brothers and sisters quarreled.

Then he went to his elder brother's yard to see his nephew who was still in his infancy, reciting a thousand-character text in his ear, and forced him to enlighten him.

In the end, he went back to the yard and ran to the wall to provoke Xu Wenyan, who wanted to come and play with him, and succeeded in driving him back.

Skin like a monkey.

It is also visibly happy to the naked eye.

Shi Yan asked him why he was so happy, Lin Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "Because something good is about to happen."

But without going into details, he hummed a little tune and locked himself in the room to read.

The fact that the Lin family made people parade naked in the street was probably a guilty conscience, but no one pursued it, and no one mentioned it in front of Emperor Jianyuan.

As for the tongue being cut off, the people behind the scenes just burn incense to thank those who did it.

Of course, it didn’t mean that nothing happened. The Zhou family was sued to the Yamen in Kyoto, and because it was the family of King Qi, they were brought directly to Emperor Jianyuan, who ordered a thorough investigation.

As for who did it, everyone has an idea.

……

Zhonggong

Empress Chen was quite happy after listening to the palace maid's report that Emperor Jianyuan ordered a thorough investigation of the Zhou family.

He picked up a grape with his fan and ate it, and then told the maid, "Remember to help, don't miss the evidence."

The palace lady responded, stepped forward to squeeze Empress Chen's shoulders, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the border that the Eldest Young Master has had some conflicts with the Second Young Master of the Lin family."

The young master mentioned by the maid is Chen Chuan, the eldest son of Chen.

Empress Chen raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" Her tone was obviously displeased.

"It's not a big deal, it's just for the young master of the Lin family. The empress also knows that the young master secretly... the young master of the Lin family is so handsome, and the people under his staff joked that the young master married the young master of the Lin family. Naturally, we are of one mind with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Accidentally let the people under the Second Young Master Lin listen. Your Majesty knows that the Lin family are all brutal warriors, so the Second Young Master Lin made a move."

Empress Chen's complexion gradually turned ugly, and she scolded: "Idiot with no brains!"

The palace maid immediately agreed, "Your Majesty is right, it's just a few gossips, the second young master of the Lin family actually directly fought with the eldest young master, isn't it stupid or what?"

Empress Chen pushed away the maid's hand and got up, her face turned cold, "I'm talking about that idiot Chen Chuan!"

The palace maid realized that she had kissed the wrong flattery, she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's the servant who said the wrong thing."

After all, it was the person who had been with her for many years, Empress Chen didn't punish her, she only made people kneel for a while before calling out, and continued to ask, "Did you hurt someone?"

"It wasn't mentioned in the letter, so I guess it didn't."

The maid wanted to make up for her mistakes, and said to Empress Chen: "Your Majesty, it was the second young master of the Lin family who did it first. Even if you ask me, I can't blame the eldest young master. You don't need to worry about it, Your Majesty."

Empress Chen rubbed her temples, she was so angry that she had a headache, she couldn't figure out what kind of stupid thing was around her.

Pointing to the door, he said to the maid, "Get out, get out of here!"

"Yes, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I'm leaving," the palace goddess looked flustered, but she didn't dare to defend herself, she quickly retreated.

Empress Chen sat on the chair for a long time, when a voice sounded outside the door, she asked, "Is it Pinellia? Come in."

The closed door was pushed open, and a woman in blue clothes walked in.

"I've seen the Empress." Before the Empress could speak, the woman stood up and walked behind Empress Chen. "My Empress has a headache again," she said, but she naturally pressed her head for Empress Chen.

Empress Chen was pressed a few times, then she frowned, and said with a long breath: "You are still caring, I knew that I should not have let you be a female official of the Shangyi Bureau, and I should have arranged you by my side. , I won’t let Huihui give those stupid things a headache.”

The woman is the pinellia that Empress Chen called earlier.

"Thank you for your appreciation," Ban Xia said, his voice was as gentle as water, clear and sweet, and the opening of his mouth made people feel good, "If it weren't for your empress, how could there be today's Ban Xia, I'm afraid I would have died in the secluded garden that year. .”

Empress Chen was pressed comfortably, and it took a long time before she spoke, "I know you are grateful, and you have a flexible mind. You must have heard about what happened outside the palace. You gave me advice, what should I do now?" good?"

Ban Xia changed from pressing her head to rubbing Empress Chen's shoulders, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the servants tell the truth?"

Empress Chen was dissatisfied, "Ban Xia, are you trying to trick me?"

"I don't dare," Banxia quickly explained, "I just think that the matter is important, and the empress needs to think twice, otherwise it will be difficult to turn back once you step out."

Empress Chen sighed softly, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be worried, just tell me what you think."

"Yes," Banxia respectfully said, "Before the maidservant entered the door, Zisu also heard Zisu mention what happened at the border gate. Madam, this is the source. Everyone knows that the Lin family is weak. This time, the emperor will reward the Lin family." If the Lin family wants to change to someone else, such as seeking justice for Lin Zhuangyuan, then the hard work that Hou Ye asked the young master to go to the border this time may be in vain."

"Furthermore, what the Second Young Master Lin heard was that after marrying Lin Zhuangyuan, the Lin family and His Highness the Crown Prince were united. If they misunderstand that this matter was ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince, then... I am afraid that not only the Lin family will hate the Young Master, but even His Highness the Crown Prince. will be implicated."

Empress Chen was very displeased when she heard this, and was about to get angry, but Ban Xia took the lead, "Your Majesty, it's not that the Lin family will bear grudges, but to prevent the Lin family from standing opposite because they are dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Empress Chen calmed down in an instant, and the faces of Concubine Li and King Qi flashed in her mind. Even if she had just defeated King Qi's army, it was far from being able to get rid of him directly.

Moreover, besides King Qi, Emperor Jianyuan had other sons.

It's all a big worry.

"So, what do you think this palace should do?" Empress Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Transfer the hatred," Ban Xia gave her advice.

Empress Chen already had the answer in her mind, "You mean Chu Zhao?"

Ban Xia explained: "Someone just made a good show of asking for marriage. From the fate of those people, it can be seen that the Lin family is in a rage at the moment. What if there are still people who want to hit the knife?"

The result is self-evident, Empress Chen's complexion turned from cloudy to clear.

"There is also the side of the border. The young master just talked about the Lin family and started to do it. What if we let them know that they must marry here in the capital, or that marrying in the past will be humiliating?"

What will happen?

Just thinking about the consequences would make Empress Chen laugh out loud.

She told Ban Xia to stop, and asked someone to stand in front of her, and said with satisfaction: "You still know what Ben Gong thinks best."

Empress Chen rewarded Pinellia with the grapes on the table, then called people in, and said: "Go, send a letter to Qinzheng Hall, I will invite the emperor to have dinner tonight."

Huang Chen rubbed the gold ring inlaid with gemstones in his hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. Not only did she want Emperor Jianyuan to bestow a marriage on Chu Zhao, but she also wanted to prepare a generous gift for him!
