Mrs. Lin's eyes were red, and the slap she just slapped on Lin Zhihen did not dispel the hatred in her heart.

So, he slapped Lin Zhihen's face sideways again.

"Repay my brother!" Mrs. Lin used all her strength and her eyes were about to burst.

She pointed at Lin Zhihen, her fingertips trembling:

"Brother Ce doesn't want to make friends with Mr. He, the unlucky man! You just accepted that post for him! If you hadn't gone your own way for your own agenda, he wouldn't have had this accident today!"

"Brother Ce is useless, let me see what you can do to honor the Lin family! You dad...spit!" She spat into Lin Zhihen's face.

"That's enough!" Lin Zhihen had never been so embarrassed in front of others, and now he was beaten and scolded by his wife in front of the servants of the mansion.

He glared at Mrs. Lin: "No one collided with the carriages on the street, but it was Ce Geer's car that was knocked over! The person was crushed under the carriage and other parts were intact, but the tendons in his hands and feet were completely severed! How could this be an accident? This is clearly someone seeking revenge!”

After saying that, he looked at Lin Jiaoyue and said bitterly: "Tell me! Have you brothers and sisters made any enemies recently?"

Lin Jiaoyue trembled when she heard the words, and Mu Rong's face flashed in her mind.

Ever since her brother told her how close and leisurely Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong were in the southern suburbs, her hatred for Xu Rongrong became even stronger!

In Jiangnan, Xu Rongrong was unscathed, but she herself caught up with two personal maids.

Why!Why can she become more and more carefree and be so favored by Mu Rong?

Fortunately, he is not the only one who hates her.

The second lady of the Xu Mansion was asking Cheng Jintong to help find a suitable bodyguard. She said that her eldest sister had a master beside her, and she was eager to have one.

But that face was exposed by Cheng Jintong at a glance.

"The Xu sisters are not going to deal with it. No, as soon as Xu Rongrong left, my sister couldn't wait to install someone of her own." This was what Cheng Jintong said casually when he came to find a way to relieve his boredom.

But for her, isn't this an excellent opportunity?

So she tortured her brother for a long time before he agreed to place the secret guards around her in Xu's mansion.

Originally, he waited until Xu Rongrong returned home before taking action, but who knew the opportunity would come so quickly.

When the people from the Xu Mansion went to the southern suburbs, she asked the secret guards to wait for the opportunity!

Sure enough, within two days I heard news from the southern suburbs that someone in Weiyuanhou's Zhuangzi was seriously ill.

She knew that her revenge would be avenged, so she stopped caring about it and focused on Wu Tianqi.

After all, even if it was found out that Xu Rongrong was killed by a secret guard, her own sister would still be standing in the way. Who could doubt her?

But, if my father's suspicion is true...

Could it be that that person was found out by Mu Rong so quickly?

"What? You still haven't told the truth!" Seeing her hesitating, Lin Zhihen became more sure of his suspicions, "Who did you offend!"

Lin Jiaoyue trembled all over.

She knew that at this moment, she couldn't tell the truth no matter what.

My brother is the lifeblood of my father and mother. If they know that he has been implicated by himself, I'm afraid... there will be no place for her in the Lin Mansion.

"Father is wronged! My daughter really doesn't know! Today is the first time we leave the house since New Year's Eve. How can we make enemies?" She cried so hard.

She knelt forward and grabbed the hem of Mrs. Lin's skirt: "Mother... mother must believe in her daughter. Even if her daughter risks her own life, she will not dare to cause trouble for her brother."

Mrs. Lin let her hold her and did not move.

Her heart was numb with pain.

She will not fail to feel her daughter's abnormality.

But now... her son has been destroyed, can she abandon her daughter again?

……

The Lin Mansion was in commotion all night, so when the court opened on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no one in the position of Minister of War.

Lin Zhihen took a leave of absence.

Mu Rong saw it and knew that Mu Aiding had done a good job last night.

The whip was sounded three times in front of the main hall, and the emperor entered the court.

With the new year and new weather, today's emperor is in high spirits. He sat on the throne with his head held high, looked at the third prince who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Bring it!"

Wu Tianxiao quickly submitted a proposal proposing the reopening of the border, and made all management matters clearly written.

After the emperor read it, he nodded approvingly:

"I thought you were acting on a whim at the New Year's Eve family banquet, but I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared. It's just... closing the border trade was a matter of the late emperor's reign. If you want to reopen it, you need to consider it carefully!"

When Wu Tianxiao heard this, he lowered his head slightly.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said: "Today is the first day of the imperial court. Why are you so downcast? I didn't say that I disagreed. It's just that we need to think about it in the long term. You also need to be patient."

Before Wu Tianxiao could speak, Ning Guogong came to the side to ask: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. After all, it does take more time after so many years... But the reopening of trade can wait, but other things on the border, I’m afraid it’s already imminent and I can’t wait any longer!”

The emperor smiled and said: "Why is the prince also interested in the border?"

Ning Guogong handed over the note with a solemn expression: "When your majesty reads it, you will know that what I have said is true."

Every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, both the ministers and the emperor were full of joy. After all, it was the beginning of the new year, and everyone wanted to be auspicious. It was rare for Ning Guogong to do so.

Everyone couldn't figure out what medicine Ning Guogong sold in the gourd.

The emperor didn't know either.

He took the folder and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Is there any evidence for what Aiqing said?" The usually gentle emperor's voice became deeper, and the anger hidden in it could be felt by the entire court.

His eyes glanced at the prince beside him.

The prince panicked...

Could it be that the matter was exposed?

None of the secret guards who went to intercept the witnesses came back. He already felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't understand that the forces in the capital were working against him.

These days, he sent people to keep an eye on the third, fourth and sixth children, but there was nothing wrong with them.

As for Mu Rong, he has been staying in Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs these days, and he has not been seen sending anyone south.

Now it seems...

Duke Ning Guo was actually responsible for this?

But the second child has fallen, and he has been imprisoned by his father. Could it be that Ning Guogong wants to make a comeback for him?

But even if he really had this intention, the incident at Huangzhuang was done by Chang Jing and had nothing to do with him!What can he do?

If you want to shake your position in the East Palace with this, I'm afraid your thinking is too simple.

Thinking of this, the prince felt a little at ease.

The next moment, Ning Guogong walked into the palace: "Everything that the minister said is true. Chang Jing, the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Road, set up a private palace outside Xianzhou City to engage in human trafficking. Thousands of people were brutally murdered in the past five years. Thousands of families have been torn apart! A large number of people have also been sold outside the country. Only when the border is reopened can people be rescued back to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
