Lin Chao's life in the palace was the same as before he went to Guangling Palace ten years ago.

Although the emperor explicitly detained him, he did not restrict his activities much.He can still wander freely in the imperial garden, as long as he doesn't "accidentally" lean towards the palace gate.

The prince who was only a little bit old back then has grown into a teenager now.He still always smiles when he sees him, and sometimes he has the same virtue as his father, insisting on appreciating famous paintings together by pestering others.

Lin Chao is just like coaxing children.

Anyway, in the past ten years, he has also coaxed out experience.

The emperor's health still didn't improve, seeing the imperial hospital sending people to the palace for auscultation in turn, his expression became more and more dignified day by day.

The prince sometimes held his arm with dim eyes and asked if the emperor's illness could not be cured.

How could Lin Chao answer this kind of question, he just shirked that the minister was just a painter, and he should ask the imperial physician about this matter.

The prince pursed his lips and said, "But they didn't tell me."

Lin Chao patted his head and said nothing.Both the emperor and concubine De spoiled the prince very much.Maybe it's because there is only such a son, and he doesn't want to let him know everything.How can such a smooth sailing person be the master of the world?

Lin Chao thinks that Zhao Tuo is definitely more suitable than the prince to sit on the throne of God, but he still feels a little guilty about the prince who is about to become a prisoner.

The prince has grown up, and he has reached the age where he can think about things between men and women.The palace was already very sensitive to this kind of matter, but because the emperor was seriously ill, he neglected to teach the prince a lot.

There are only some servants around the prince, so naturally he can't tell them this.So he had no choice but to find this painter who had a special identity but was often encountered.

"Lin Daizhao~"

One day, Lin Chao was playing with the koi in the pond in the imperial garden, when the prince slapped him from behind.

Lin Chao was used to the occasional intimacy of teenagers, and he never looked back: "Prince."

The prince came to his side, snatched a handful of bait from him, and threw it into the pond.Experiences that were originally hidden underwater poured out of the water one after another, and the pool surface was quite lively for a while.

The prince looked at it for a while and felt bored again, so he took Lin Chao's hand and sprinkled the remaining bait in, then turned around and walked to the side path.

"Where is the prince taking the minister?"

The crown prince walked in a hurry, Lin Chao staggered a few steps by him, and his words were a little annoyed.

Seeing no one around, the prince stopped, pulled a stalk of grass by the side of the road, and played with the leaves with both hands.

Lin Chao saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he opened his mouth first: "Is there anything the prince wants to say to the minister?"

The prince let out a "hmm" and stopped talking.

Lin Chao thought to himself that this child was much younger than Zhao Tuo.Thinking of someone who was good at making jokes, Lin Chao had a smile on his face, and his tone became much gentler: "If the prince has anything to say, just talk to me. I promise, I will never talk to you." Others say something more."

The crown prince let go of the grass, and said seriously: "You swear."

Lin Chao spread his hands helplessly, and said, "I swear."

"The peonies in Tianjing Garden bloomed a few days ago. My concubine has always liked the Yuyihong there, so I thought of picking two as gifts for her..."

"Hmm." It sounded like a long story, Lin Chao prepared enough patience.

"Later... I met her later."

"Her?" Maybe it was because the beginning of the story was too long and the ending was too hasty, Lin Chao couldn't react for a while.

The prince blushed and said, "That's...just a little girl."

Lin Chao said "oh".Some of the maids in the palace are indeed about the same age as the prince.Speaking of this, how could he not understand what the prince meant.It's just that it's really inconvenient for him to say more about this matter.

The prince was very dissatisfied with his silence, kicked the stone with his toe, and said in a muffled voice, "Speak."

Lin Chao coughed: "Ahem. According to my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this matter." It was just a court lady, if the crown prince came forward to ask for it, there was no reason why he should not come.Sooner or later, he will send someone to the Prince's side, and now he meets someone he likes, that would be even better.

The prince said happily: "Really?"

"Really." Lin Chaodao, "You find an opportunity to talk to Concubine De. But remember, you have to talk in private, it's best to wait for some time to wait for the Holy Majesty's illness to improve."

The prince raised his eyebrows happily when he heard the first half of the sentence, but drooped when he heard the emperor's illness.

"Father's illness, I don't know when it will be cured..."

Seeing his sad expression, Lin Chao couldn't help being relieved.

At this time, even Lin Chao didn't expect that the "little girl" that the crown prince said was not the court lady he thought, but a talented person who was recently selected into the palace for the emperor's joy.

Half a month later, the emperor's illness finally improved, and he could be helped out of bed and walked away.While walking in the Imperial Garden, I met a talented man who had lost his embroidery bag.

That talented person looks shy and charming, but he still looks quite similar to an old friend whom he couldn't ask for many years ago.

That night the emperor favored the talented man.

The next day it was conferred the title of Zhaoyi, and since then the holy family has been extremely prosperous.

------

"Lin Daizhao, you are here."

Ten years later, Wang Xian was still the powerful eunuch, and Lin Chao was still a painter who accompanied the emperor.

When the two met, they thought of the first time they met ten years ago, and smiled at each other.

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Let's go, the Holy Majesty and Jiang Zhaoyi are waiting in Ganquan Palace."

Lin Chaodao: "Your Majesty will lead the way."

"Lin Daizhao, you don't need to be polite." Wang Xian patted his head suddenly, and said, "Look at my memory. The medicine Lin Daizhao mentioned earlier in Qinghefang, Dr. Li, prescribed really good medicine. I applied a few Moon, my leg doesn't hurt so much even in rainy days."

Wang Xian took out a small kit from his bosom and stuffed it into Lin Chao's hands.

"This is a wish from our family, so I will trouble Lin Daizhao to bring it to Dr. Li."

Lin Chao was confused, but still nodded and accepted the kit.He had mentioned to Wang Xian that there was a doctor in Qinghefang, but this was all ten years ago, why did Wang Xian mention it today?

There were other palace attendants around, so Lin Chao couldn't ask any more questions, and just put the kit next to his body.

When I arrived at Ganquan Palace, I saw the emperor and Jiang Zhaoyi, the holy family member.His Majesty's face was flushed, obviously in a good mood.And Jiang Zhaoyi snuggled into his arms carelessly, staring at the visitor from the palace with a pair of dark eyes, with a compelling aura.

"Don't you want a second portrait? This is Lin Qing. His paintings are the best in the world. Calling him here is not treating you badly, right?" the emperor said dotingly.

Lin Chao added an errand to paint Jiang Zhaoyi's portrait.

Coming out of Ganquan Palace, he was worried that Jiang Zhaoyi looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, and was thrown into his arms by the wrinkled prince who was about to cry.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chao hurriedly hugged the prince, giving him comfort again and again.The crying man was out of breath, and howled twice more, presumably Imperial Physician Xuan would have to wait beside him.

The prince choked up twice, and said softly: "I... I saw her again..."

Lin Chaodao: "Isn't this a good thing? You talked to her? Did she reject you?"

"No." The crown prince buried his head on Lin Chao's chest, feeling that the anguish of seeing his sweetheart nestled in his father's arms finally faded away, "She is with father."

"Ah." Lin Chao lost his voice, "Who is that little girl you're talking about?"

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Now I have to call her Jiang Zhaoyi."

Lin Chao wiped his tears for him, and said regretfully, "If I had known this, I should have asked you to bring him here."

Seeing him frowning with self-reproach, the crown prince comforted him: "She is a newly selected talented person in the palace, and she is here to please the emperor. As a son of man, if I really behaved like that, I would also inappropriate."

Lin Chao still sighed deeply.

The prince said again: "Besides, since she...she went to the father's side, the father's illness has indeed improved. This is a happy event."

Lin Chao felt that the prince seemed to have matured a lot.

Maybe it is all the unfortunate things that can really make people feel responsible.

After comforting the prince, Lin Chao returned to his temporary residence in the palace.

Swiping away the two or three palace servants who were serving, Lin Chao sat by the oil lamp, and took out from his bosom the kit that Wang Xian handed him.

The pattern is nothing special, it seems that there is only a piece of paper stuffed inside.

Bank note?

Lin Chao shook his head and opened the kit.

There was really only one piece of paper stuffed inside.On a small piece of plain paper, I wrote a few lines of delicate small letters with hairpin flowers.This kind of font is usually used by young ladies with insufficient pen power. It is difficult to see the writing habits of the person who wrote it, and it is impossible to compare the handwriting.

But Lin Chao recognized whose handwriting it was at a glance.

No matter how deliberately concealed it, in the eyes of people who have been together for ten years, it is still full of flaws.What's more, the other party obviously didn't hide it, and revealed directly between the lines that this note is the news written by me.

"Master Lin sees words as if he met them..."

In just a few lines, Lin Chao became more and more frightened as he looked at it.

Zhao Tuo knew everything about the palace well.

Zhao Tuo was able to find opportunities to take advantage of from the clues, and set up insidious schemes without showing any traces.

Zhao Tuo was actually able to take people like the eunuch Wang Xian, who was in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, for his own use.

Zhao Tuo was honest with him even on such a confidential matter, so he believed him.

These were not the reasons why Lin Chao was frightened in the end.

Lin Chao picked up a corner of the plain paper, and let it be tightly entangled by the flames of the candle, turning into ashes.

The night wind hit the window lattice, making a muffled sound.

Lin Chao's heart throbbed with the sound of the pounding.

"You know... if you do this, I will die."
