Lin Zhihuai also told Lin Ruichen about the current situation of General Chen and the camp in the southern suburbs, General Chen has no children under his knees, only a few daughters, he has already married a wife, and his husband's family is an official in other places. Therefore, General Chen has taken the barracks as his home for many years, and has managed the barracks like an iron wall, and there has been no mistake for many years. All forces have also thought of reaching into the southern suburbs of Daying, the most important southern gate of the capital, but they have no chance.

However, Lin Zhihuai had a very good personal relationship with General Chen, and won the trust of the emperor, and has always remained neutral and does not participate in the struggle between the forces of the royal family. The emperor may suspect that Lin Ruichen will support the Seven Princes together with the Zhao family, but the Seven Princes do not have the help of their mothers, so it is just conducive to the balance of power between the princes. So if anyone has the best chance to take over General Chen's class, it is only Lin Ruichen.

Coming out of the study, Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen walked side by side, the night breeze was slightly cool, the moon and stars were scarce, the brother and sister were silent all the way, walking slowly, and they both cherished this rare opportunity to be alone. Thinking that Lin Ruichen was going to the camp in the southern suburbs soon, Lin Wan couldn't help but feel a little lost.

When he arrived at the gate of the Autumn Garden, Lin Ruichen turned around and took out a dagger from his arms, only about half a foot long, very delicate, the dagger handle and dagger sheath were made of sandalwood, carved with exquisite lines, beautiful like a wooden thing.

Lin Ruichen handed the dagger to Lin Wan and said with a smile: "Wan'er, this is the spoils I got from capturing the enemy generals when I was at war with South Vietnam, and my uncle asked me to keep it myself." I was thinking about giving it to you, this dagger is very sharp, and you can't take it out and play with it unless you need to, understand?"

Lin Wan took the dagger, clenched the dagger, and carefully pulled it out, without making any sound, the dagger was black, one finger wide, one palm long, not dazzling, no reflection, inconspicuous in the night. Lin Wan took off a hosta from his head and gently slashed it down with a dagger, the hosta broke silently, and the bevel of the cut was very smooth and flat.

Lin Wan was overjoyed, slowly inserted it back into the sheath, and stuffed the dagger into his sleeve pocket, which was completely invisible, and it was very light, without any inconvenience.

Under the moonlight, Lin Wan's excited eyes flashed with joy, and he looked at Lin Ruichen with crooked eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, brother, I like it very much." ”

Lin Ruichen looked at Lin Wan's happy appearance, his heart was happy, he touched Lin Wan's head, and said, "Okay, let's go in." I'll come back tomorrow to see you and your mother. ”

Lin Wan nodded obediently, and jumped into the Autumn Garden, Qingtong and Luliu couldn't help but smile as they followed behind.

Lin Ruichen waited for them to enter the garden before smiling, shaking his head and sighing, and turned to leave.

Lin Wan walked into the inner courtyard and saw Qin Xin sitting in the courtyard, looking up at the full moon in the night sky, her fair and translucent face glowing with a faint brilliance.

Lin Wan walked over slowly and called softly, "Sister." ”

"Wan'er, you're back. Qin Xin turned his face, his eyes were like stars, his face was like the moon, and he was gentle like water.

Lin Wan sat beside Qin Xin and smiled slightly: "Is my sister waiting for me?"

Qin Xin nodded and smiled: "Yes, when you come back in the evening, I saw that your family had been reunited for a long time, so I didn't come out to disturb." Seeing you're in a good mood, the Seventh Prince should be fine, right?"

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, he has woken up." Lin Wan leaned his head on Qin Xin's shoulder, his expression was a little gloomy, he looked at the cold bright moon, and sighed: "There are so many people who care about him, I don't need to go to see him at all." ”

Qin Xin heard the vinegar in Lin Wan's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, let's hear it." ”

Lin Wan had nowhere to pour the sour water in her stomach, so she puffed out her cheeks and described what she saw and heard when she entered the palace today, as well as Lu Manting's disgusting nymphomaniac.

"Sister, do you say, is Lu Manting really innocent or innocent?" Lin Wan finally concluded angrily.

Qin Xin covered her mouth and smiled, patted Lin Wan's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be angry." Whether she's true or not, as long as the heart of the Seven Princes is with you, right?"

However, they were childhood sweethearts and had already made promises. Lin Wan hung her head and said dejectedly: "Moreover, Lu Manting is really beautiful, her figure is also very good, and it is said that her talent is also very good." ”

Qin Xinyu pointed at Lin Wan's forehead and chuckled: "You, when did you become so sentimental? What do you want to do so much, if the Seventh Prince falls in love with someone else so easily, then how can he be worthy of our unique Wan'er." ”

Lin Wan instantly came to his senses, nodded heavily and said, "Well, if he is half-hearted, I don't want him!"

The two girls whispered to each other and laughed from time to time. It wasn't until the third watch that the green willow came to invite, and the two yawned and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Lin Wan still got up early in the morning, finished the morning exercise, took a shower and changed clothes, and was sitting in his room for breakfast when a strong wind came.

"Miss. Gale stood.

Lin Wan raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile and said, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Gale hurriedly said: "Thank you, Miss, my subordinates have already eaten." ”

Lin Wan put down his chopsticks and said softly, "Say, what's the news?"

Seeing that Miss was in a good mood, Gale Feng was also much more relaxed, and said: "Prince Changfeng returned to the Shadowless Pavilion last night, and the news came that the Lei Hall Master of Fengming City and the Cloud Hall Master of Fengnan City were arranged to protect General Zhao, and the Jin Hall Master and the Water Hall Master were also arranged to meet the Shandong side, and the four Hall Masters are all in place, please rest assured." Gale paused for a moment and continued: "Jin Gongzi has arrived in the capital with the army escorting the tribute, the tribute has been sent to the palace, Jin Gongzi has lived in the capital post house, and the Dongli personal guard army has stayed outside the east city gate. ”

Lin Wan nodded and asked, "Are there any casualties?"

Gale shook his head and said: "There are no casualties, the prince of Changfeng led the elite of the Shadowless Pavilion and the pro-guard army to annihilate hundreds of members of the Thousand Cavalry Guild in one fell swoop, and the Thousand Cavalry Guild suffered heavy losses, but Feng Wancheng escaped under the protection of the two elders. However, the two elders were also seriously injured and should not come back to harass them for the time being. ”

Lin Wan nodded, and asked again, "What's the news in the palace?"

"The royal doctor said that the Seventh Prince is no longer in serious trouble, and he can be cured after a few days of rest. After the next court yesterday, the crown prince and several princes also went to visit the seventh prince, and nothing happened. Gale paused for a moment and continued: "Yesterday, the emperor has issued an order, the old lady official will be reinstated, continue to serve as the secretary of the criminal department, the second master because he completed the correction of the chronicle during the period of filial piety in Shandong, the emperor decreed, the official was promoted to one level, and he was appointed as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, responsible for revising the chronicle. Lord Wu Chengwu, the servant of the Criminal Department, has returned to Beijing to restore his life, and it has been found that a killer organization is involved in the assassination of the Seven Princes. General Feng also brought back the body of the killer who stabbed the Seven Princes on the way back to Beijing, but unfortunately there was no one alive. The emperor ordered that the old lady be responsible for finding out the truth and arresting the murderer. ”
