Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country
Chapter 164 Celebration Banquet
What Lin Ling said was true. Having a traitor who knew Lin Mingyue inside and out and was on the run was like having a thorn hanging over one's head, and no one knew when it would fall.
"But don't worry, I have ordered people to search for his traces near Yanzhou. If they find him, they will kill him without mercy."
Lin Yushu suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and suddenly remembered something.
"Before you return to Beijing, clear out the remaining Northern Liao soldiers..."
Lin Ling smiled and nodded her head. "I haven't received any letters from you in all these years. I finally got two of them. The first one informed us of the spy, and the second one actually directed our combat direction. You are really brave!"
Joking aside, Lin Ling still had doubts, "Why did you ask my father and I to focus on clearing out the Northern Liao prince's troops?"
"I know that the main force of the Northern Liao battle this time is the Northern Liao Crown Prince's army. When they retreat in a panic, the Eighth Prince's army, which is relatively strong, may be used to cover them."
Lin Ling's eyes sparkled when he heard this and he couldn't help but praise him.
"I didn't expect that Shu'er, who has never been to the border, would have such knowledge."
"Whether it is the Northern Liao Crown Prince or the Eighth Prince, they are all your targets. That is why I dare to ask you and father to focus on attacking the remaining soldiers of the Northern Liao Crown Prince."
"I have a selfish motive for this matter. It's for a girl."
Lin Ling didn't expect that Lin Yushu would write them a letter from afar, trying to interfere with their combat direction, just for a girl.
"Who?"
"Princess Ning'an, Nan Shuning."
Lin Ling was surprised at first, but then he remembered Princess Ning'an's life experience and understood it instantly. He was shocked by Emperor Ming's cruel methods.
"Does His Majesty want to send her to Northern Liao as a marriage partner?"
Lin Yushu nodded helplessly. The envoys from Northern Liao had already settled down in the largest post station in the capital and would soon meet with Emperor Ming to propose a marriage alliance.
"Don't worry, Shu'er. When father was chasing the remaining soldiers, he followed the Northern Liao prince and beat him like a drowned dog. Now in the Northern Liao court, the prince who used to compete with the Eighth Prince has been completely suppressed by the Eighth Prince."
Lin Yushu was sincerely grateful to her father and brother. The small change they made in this life might very well completely change Nan Shuning's life.

Three days later, Emperor Ming hosted a banquet for all court officials at Mulan Paddock outside Beijing and held a grand celebration banquet for Lin Mingyue and his son.
Early in the morning, Lin Qingrou finished washing and dressing, and admired her beautiful face in the bronze mirror.
A dark blue figure suddenly appeared behind her, and she called softly, "Second brother!"
Lin Jiang picked up a jade hairpin and stroked Lin Qingrou's hair, adjusting the position in front of the bronze mirror.
"His Highness the Fifth Prince has decided to attack Lin Yushu at today's celebration banquet."
Lin Qingrou's face turned pale and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
"The Fifth Prince asked me to tell you that you are the one he truly loves. Let us cooperate with him to marry Lin Yushu first. When he ascends to the supreme position, he will depose Lin Yushu and marry you as his queen."
If these words were said in the past, Lin Qingrou would definitely believe it, after all, she saw with her own eyes that Nan Huaishuo was bewitched by her.
But now, she no longer believes it.
Ever since the news of Lin Mingyue's victory reached the capital, Nan Huaishuo had been showing concern for Lin Yushu at the palace banquet and sending her snacks and jewelry in private, showing that he was attentive to her and extremely infatuated with her.
Moreover, as long as he could talk to Lin Yushu, Nan Huaishuo's eyes would light up unconsciously, and this could not be faked.
Even if he was pretending, he pretended too well.
But Lin Qingrou is an expert at "pretending". She can see that Nan Huaishuo has gradually changed from being pretentious at the beginning to caring about Lin Yushu.
No! She couldn't let Lin Yushu take away her position as the queen!
Ever since she was slapped in the face in public by the Second Prince's concubine Hu on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, Lin Qingrou has given up the idea of marrying the Second Prince.
She now has only one target, the fifth prince Nan Huaishuo!
"Second brother, can you confirm that the fifth prince has the appearance of an emperor?"
"Don't you believe in Second Brother's judgment of people? Don't worry, these princes are either sickly and short-lived, or mediocre. Only the Fifth Prince has a superior mind and means."
Lin Jiang's eyes were full of admiration and expectation.
"He will definitely be the next king!"
After hearing Lin Jiang's words, Lin Qingrou strengthened her determination. She would never let Nan Huaishuo succeed this time!
"Do you really believe what the prince who has the means, the scheming, and the hope of ascending the throne says, second brother?"
Lin Jiang's face froze. How could he not know that the emperor's heart was as deep as the ocean? But since he had decided to follow Nan Huaishuo, he must put him first in everything.
"What should we do if he goes back on his word?"
What else can I do? I can only swallow this loss.
Lin Jiang slowly understood the implication of Lin Qingrou's words, "You want to plot against the fifth prince? I advise you not to do this. To offend a future king is not something our Lin family can afford!"
Lin Qingrou's white, soft and smooth hands gently brushed across her long black hair. She was very beautiful. Although not as dazzling and bright as Lin Yushu, she was also a charming beauty.
"I won't plot against the Fifth Prince. I will help him. It's a pity that I am no match for Lin Yushu..."
Lin Jiang's eyes lit up, what a good way to take advantage of the opponent's strategy!
Just as Lin Jiang and Lin Qingrou were whispering about Lin Yushu, Lin Yushu was bringing her father and brother to the house on Xishui Street.
"This house is really nice, with elegant scenery and flowing water. It is completely different from the rough and unrestrained courtyards in Yanzhou."
Lin Ling was wandering around the yard excitedly, while Lin Mingyue was staring at the guards standing in the yard with a frown on his face.
The palace soldiers of Prince Jin’s Mansion?
Humph, this is obviously a well-trained secret guard!
Secret guards must undergo strict training from a young age, and it takes many years of cultivation to achieve initial success. Every secret guard is a precious asset to their master.
Now, the Prince of Jin, Nan Rongjing, actually lent a dozen highly skilled secret guards to Lin Yushu to guard the yard. Isn't this like using a sword to kill a mosquito? !
His purpose must be impure!
He... He must be...
Taking advantage of Lin Yushu's proximity to him, he tried to win over this great general and use him for his own purposes!
I didn't expect that Nan Rongjing, who had never been involved in party disputes and only worked for Emperor Ming, would now use such a smooth method.
Lin Mingyue sneered secretly, feeling that he had seen through all of Nan Rongjing's tricks.
"Sister, what are you going to use this yard for?"
Lin Yushu had already told them that this courtyard was not given by Mrs. Pingyang, but was bought by her.
As for why he suddenly bought a yard, Lin Jiang already had an idea based on what Lin Yushu said yesterday.
"So that one day we can live here."
Lin Ling thought to himself that as expected, Lin Yushu's words "divide the family" yesterday were not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but something she had thought about for a long time.
Lin Mingyue also thought of it, and his face became heavy. He did not blame Lin Yushu for having such a rebellious idea of dividing the family. He still firmly believed that there must be a misunderstanding between her and the old lady and others.
He only blamed himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father, causing Lin Yushu to suffer for so many years.
Lin Yushu didn't say anything more. Once the old lady and the second wife revealed their true colors, her father would naturally agree to divide the family, and she would never wait too long.
"The time has come. It's time to set off for Mulan Paddock to attend the celebration banquet."
