Chapter 56
In the Annan Hou Mansion, there is an idle prince and a walking guard, but they know the emperor's thoughts very well, which is really scary.
But even Chu Han, who came from afar, didn't think there was any problem. He just nodded and said: "I don't care. I will go if the emperor asks me to go."
"Zhige, you must do your best to save Yaochen. He is a good boy." Zhou Zhao sighed and took another sip of wine. "His father died because of the second prince of Beirong. When he heard about his pursuit this time, he
Is it for this second prince?"
"Yes." Zhou Chumu replied.
Zhou Zhao shook his head again and said nothing more.
Chu Han smiled and said: "Brother-in-law has always admired the Lin family. Zhige knows that, and brother-in-law can rest assured."
Zhou Zhao sighed: "That child is indeed not easy."
Zhou Chumu only listened with a smile and said nothing. But when he first mentioned this matter, he knew that Zhou Zhao could guess the emperor's intention and would definitely let Chu Han keep Lin Yaochen.
After finishing the meal, Chu Han did not stop and left directly through the back door, then returned to the Chu family's house in the capital.
Nearing the end of the night, Wan'an Palace finally found out the results of the previous dynasty's agreement.
Lin Qingluan read the names one by one, selected a few who had some connection with the Lin family, and sent a letter to the Lin Mansion to handle it. There were two others. Although they had not interacted with each other in this life, she knew something about what happened in the previous life.
Regarding the other party's affairs, I shamelessly contacted him at this time, just hoping that there would be a little more love.
"The emperor is too anxious. It is said that General Chu just returned to Beijing today and will go north again the next morning. He doesn't even have time to say hello!" An Lan was also anxious.
Lin Qingluan also sighed. Chu Han was naturally important, but there was nothing she could do if she couldn't reach him. She could only do her best and obey fate.
However, after half a day of inquiring about the news, Lin Qingluan knew that this General Chu was indeed a good person. The Chu family had a very strict family tradition. It was unlikely that such a person would be able to kill Zhongliang.
As long as Lin Yaochen's life is not in danger, he can survive this level of difficulty, and in the future——
With Lin Qingluan here in the future, Shangguan Lie will never be allowed to frame the Lin family in the same bad way as he did in his previous life!
Lin Qingluan took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She glanced at the list on the paper and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, so she followed the old rules and asked An Lan to bring the brazier to burn it.
Mu Yun had already retired, and An Lan was the only one waiting in the room. Seeing that there was no one around, she approached Lin Qingluan and whispered: "Today, I went to inquire about the news, and I also heard something related to Prince Zhou."
"Huh?" Lin Qingluan raised her eyes slightly, and An Lan continued: "Actually, she has something to do with General Chu..."
"I heard that the late Emperor did not agree with the marriage between the Zhou and Chu families, but I knew that the Six Rites of Time had passed halfway and I couldn't intervene, but..."
"You're still pretending? Why don't you tell me quickly!" Lin Qingluan patted her.
An Lan did not look playful. Instead, he lowered his expression and lowered his voice: "But it is said that the childbirth and death of Crown Prince Zhou's mother were the work of the late emperor."
Lin Qingluan was stunned: "Seriously?"
"My slave doesn't know either." An Lan sighed.
Lin Qingluan suddenly remembered more.
She had felt in the past that Zhou Chumu was weird and not very respectful to the emperor. If his mother's death was really related to the late emperor, then his attitude towards Shangguan Lie would be justified.
"What do you think, Master?" An Lan asked Lin Qingluan what he thought while burning the list.
Lin Qingluan sat at the table with her chin in her hands. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Do you still remember what it was like when your brother got married?"
An Lan thought about it for a while and then said: "The emperor personally recommended the marriage, right?"
"At that time, the emperor showed me the roster and asked me to choose one." Lin Qingluan laughed, "I called my brother to come to the palace to screen together, and then I decided on my sister-in-law."
"But now that I think about it, some of the women on the list are chaste, virtuous, and beautiful, but..." Lin Qingluan's eyes showed sarcasm, "They are all the daughters of civil servants."
An alliance between generals is indeed not a good thing for the court.
Take the Zhou and Chu families as an example. One of them guards the south and the other guards the northwest. They seem to be far apart, but if they have different intentions, they can almost outflank the two borders of Dasheng.
Not to mention that the total number of the two armies is two to three hundred thousand. If they really want to do something and plunder all the way from the border, Beijing may not be able to fight back no matter how they mobilize their troops and generals.
From this aspect, the death of Zhou Chumu's mother may have been caused by the late emperor's intervention.
After all, that man could kill himself, his mother and his brothers, let alone his wife.
Oh, they are also blood relatives of the late emperor.
Lin Qingluan's lips curved into a sarcastic smile. The Shangguan family were indeed cruel-hearted.
Lin Qingluan couldn't help but think of what Zhou Chumu once asked her - why not send troops from northern Xinjiang, go straight to the capital, and change the world.
She was not unmoved, but she knew without thinking that Lin Yaochen would not agree.
Lin Yaochen did not have a previous life. Even if she said that Shangguan Lie would falsely accuse the Lin family in the future, Lin Yaochen would only think about taking refuge and would not force the palace.
Because it is true as she said, the Lin family army is an army fighting Beirong and an army guarding the people of Dasheng. If they are allowed to raise their swords against the people of Dasheng, then - it is really unimaginable.
But today, Lin Qingluan finally understood where Zhou Chumu's vague hatred for the emperor came from.
I couldn't believe it before, but I didn't expect that we were actually traveling together...
Lin Qingluan smiled slightly again, but at this moment, the back window moved slightly. An Lan was startled, and just as he was about to exclaim, he suddenly remembered something and stopped talking abruptly.
Zhou Chumu met Lin Qingluan's smiling face when he came in. He was a little surprised. He thought that Lin Yaochen was missing and she should be worried and anxious, but he didn't expect that she seemed to be in a good mood?
An Lan gave a half salute to Zhou Chumu, then closed the door and went out.
Lin Qingluan was still sitting in front of the window, looking at him, and suddenly remembered how the thing she just felt happy about would be a blow to the person in front of her.
The death of a loved one is already sad, but if the enemy is still the emperor, what kind of torture will it be?
She was a little carried away, but she was guarding a secret carefully, following every step, not daring to relax or trust anyone, but suddenly she learned that her close friends also had the same enemy, and she had to make excuses. How could this be?
What a surprise!
At the same time, Tianya has become a human being.
It's just that now is not the time to talk about this.
Lin Qingluan's expression darkened again, and she looked at Zhou Chumu with some comfort, but she didn't know what to say.
But Zhou Chumu sat down and said directly: "I have already met with my uncle and told him. When he arrives in northern Xinjiang, I will do my best to assist General Lin."
Lin Qingluan's expression went blank for a moment.
She never expected that Zhou Chumu would bring such good news!
She originally thought that if Zhou Chumu came tonight, she would sacrifice her face to beg and see if Zhou Chumu could bring a message to General Chu.
It was just that time was tight, and Lin Qingluan was not sure whether it would be possible, but he never expected that Zhou Chumu would get the matter done in advance!
How could she not be surprised by this!
