"Elder-in-law" migraine

Chapter 50

As soon as Mrs. Lin returned to the Hall of Yiyuan aggressively, Xiao Ping, who conveyed Duan Yixian's will, rushed there. Before Mrs. Lin could complain to Ashinalan, Xiao Ping conveyed Duan Yixian's will to Ashinalan , Ashina Lan glanced at his mother standing behind him indifferently, and said politely, "The concubine takes the order to thank you."

Xiao Ping turned his back, nodded to Ashina Lan, glanced at Mrs. Lin, turned around and left the Hall of Yiyuan.

Ashinalan took a deep breath, watched Xiao Ping walk away slowly, turned his head and ordered, "Come here, pack things for my mother and send her out of the palace."

Mrs. Lin was taken aback for a moment, then pulled Ashina Lan's arm up and down, "Lan'er really wants to send me out of the palace?"

Ashinalan lowered his eyes and said, "The imperial decree has been issued, how dare I disobey it? Whether it is in the harem or the entire dynasty, who dares to disobey the imperial order? What's more, your majesty is also thinking about the mother's body." .”

Mrs. Lin snorted softly, "For the sake of my body? Didn't some people blow their ears and humiliate me in the imperial garden? It's not enough to insult me ​​in the imperial garden. What's the point of what you, the queen, are doing? You might as well pack up and leave the palace with me."

Ashinalan sighed softly, "Mother, I have never dared to challenge His Majesty's bottom line, so why do you bother to provoke him? It's fine to send you out of the palace. Forget it, I'm going to rest. Mother, you pack up and go out." Palace. We will see you next month."

Ashinalan turned around and returned to the inner hall. Mrs. Lin looked at her back and said bitterly, "Why did I give birth to such a timid daughter?"

The maid packed up her things, and walked carefully to Old Madam Lin, "Old Madam, the things are packed, and this maid will take you to the gate of the palace."

Mrs. Lin turned her head and glared at her, then turned and left.

All the way to the gate of the palace, Mrs. Lin took her things from the maid, got up and walked towards the gate of the palace.Because she left the palace suddenly, there was no carriage to pick her up outside the palace gate, and Mrs. Lin was full of resentment towards Ren Zhi. The journey to the mansion was not too far, but at her age, it would take some time to get there. Mrs. Lin After walking a few steps, a carriage suddenly stopped beside her, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a fair face from inside, "Where is the old lady going, how about I give you a ride?"

Mrs. Lin hesitated, "Who are you?"

"Xiaguan Dali Siqing, Ji Zhi." Ji Zhi had a slight smile on his handsome face, and his scholarly appearance looked very reliable, "Xiaguan also happened to be leaving the palace, and I saw the old lady, so I can give you a ride. "

Mrs. Lin looked Ji Zhi up and down, and then asked, "You know me?"

Ji Zhi nodded, "Before I entered the palace, I met the old madam walking in the imperial garden with the empress from a distance. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet again today. If the old madam doesn't think the official carriage is crude, how about getting in the carriage?"

Mrs. Lin was a little tempted. After hesitating, Ji Zhi got off the carriage and stretched out his arms to help her into the carriage. Mrs. Lin was no longer polite, and got into the carriage. Ji Zhi helped her sit up, and then sat on the other side. He got down and told the coachman to go forward.

The carriage continued to move forward. The two people in the carriage were silent for a while, feeling a little embarrassed. Mrs. Lin looked around the carriage and said casually, "Master Ji just said that you are the official of Dali Qing. You are not very old, but you are very capable." .”

Ji Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty trusts me, and my subordinates are always in fear."

"Master Ji is young and promising, why should he be so modest." Madam Lin laughed.

With a smile on his face, Ji Zhi glanced casually out of the window, and asked casually, "The old lady has been staying in the palace for a while, and is she going back to her own courtyard to hide quietly?"

Old Madam Lin snorted softly, and then said calmly, "I'm getting old, Your Majesty takes care of my body, and wants me to take care of my health outside the palace without getting involved in the troubles in the palace."

Ji Zhi nodded, "Your Majesty is thinking of the old lady."

Mrs. Lin laughed and didn't answer, turned her eyes around again, and asked suddenly, "Master Ji is an official in the court, so he must know many people well?"

Ji Zhi smiled, "I can't talk about familiarity, but most people know it."

"Oh, by the way, when I was wandering in the imperial garden today, I happened to bump into that Xiaoyao King. I think it was the time of the early court. Doesn't the Xiaoyao King have to go to court? Besides, a foreign minister is always in the inner palace. Wandering around, if it spreads out, is it not a good reputation, and there is no discussion among the courtiers?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin was startled to see if she had talked too much with an outsider, and she continued, "I am a woman. I just saw him suddenly and felt a little curious, Master Ji, please don't be offended."

Ji Zhi shook his head, "Of course not. The court is sometimes like a harem, and the officials have heard a lot of gossip. It's just that it's not good for a courtier to talk about your Majesty's family affairs. The officials have also reported to Your Majesty, The harem is empty and the emperor's heirs are weak, I hope His Majesty can fill the harem for the sake of the overall situation, when the number of women in the harem increases, it will be difficult for irrelevant foreign ministers to come and go, but your majesty will not allow it."

Mrs. Lin frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "The harem is abundant, can irrelevant people really stay away?"

Ji Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in his prime, but there is only the empress and empress in the harem. Your majesty and empress are deeply in love with each other, but empress is the lord of a palace and the mother of a country, so she has many things to do and has no time to take care of her majesty. That's why His Majesty will use his energy elsewhere. If there are many women of the right age in the harem, His Majesty will naturally be happy. It's just that His Majesty has a deep affection for the Empress. I heard that He promised the Empress this life when he was still a prince. Only marry her. Perhaps His Majesty is unwilling to break his oath? If the Empress can speak, I'm afraid it will be useful."

Mrs. Lin lowered her head, as if she was thinking, Ji Zhi reached out and knocked on the window of the car. Not long after, the coachman's voice came, "My lord, we have arrived at the old lady's house."

Ji Zhi got up and raised the curtain for Mrs. Lin, helped her get out of the car, and sent her to the gate of the house before turning back and getting into the car.The coachman turned around and asked, "My lord, after seeing off the old lady, shall we still use it to go around the imperial city?"

Ji Zhi shook his head, "Go home."

The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage galloped towards Jifu.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Ji Mansion. Ji Zhi got off the carriage and told the concierge, "If someone who claims to be Mrs. Lin or her attendant comes to see me these days, please come into the mansion." , and report to me immediately."

The concierge nodded, "Understood, my lord."

Ji Zhi nodded, turned his head and glanced at the teahouse opposite the mansion gate, chuckled lightly, turned and entered the door.

Because Ji Zhi has not yet married a wife, there are few people in the mansion, and the mansion is not too big, but the mansion is extraordinarily clean and tidy. Ji Zhi went straight back to his study, closed the door and fastened it, and a black The figure quietly stood behind him.

Ji Zhi turned his head and glanced at him, not surprised, "When did you arrive?"

The other party replied, "You have left the house not long ago."

"Have you ever been noticed by someone across the street?"

The man chuckled, "If I know someone is staring at me and I'm discovered, then how can I do things for Khan in the future?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy. If I'm not mistaken, those hidden guards have already served His Majesty when He was still the prince. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. If I hadn't expected it in advance, they would definitely send someone to watch me. Probably no one will be aware of their existence." Ji Zhi frowned and said, "What is Khan's order?"

"Khan thinks your plan is good, when do you plan to implement it?" the man replied.

"My plan is already being implemented step by step. When my arrangement is ready and Khan can do it, I will let you know in advance. Khan can rest assured that Khan will be able to get it within half a year at most. What he wants." Ji Zhi said lightly.

The man nodded, "There are indeed many talents in Zhongtu. I just couldn't figure it out. Since Lord Ji has already cooperated with Khan, why didn't he refuse to work for Khan directly? At that time, what Khan can give you is far away. Far beyond what you can get in Middle-earth."

Ji Zhi looked at him with some amusement, and shook his head, "If I like food and you want to give me clothes, then no matter how good the clothes are, what's the point? All I can think of is, except for that person, the whole world, No one can give it to me anymore. From the day I met him at home, I secretly swore that I would do whatever it takes, as long as I can get it.”

The man shook his head in confusion, "The only thing that man can give you is gold, silver and money. Although I, Turkic, are not as prosperous as Zheng'an, I will never treat you badly. Why are you stubborn?"

"If I was chasing those gold and silver money, why would I have to go all the way to the capital to start as a small official from the ninth rank? Just like your Khan, if he only wanted that one inch of land, he would have gone south by iron cavalry. Why bother to wait for me to arrange the design? What we are chasing is only one person, but your Khan only wants people, but I want more." Ji Zhi waved his hand, "These you You don’t need to be clear, just go back and tell Khan that what he wants, I will help him get it.”

The man clasped his fists, "Then it all depends on Lord Ji."

Ji Zhi nodded, "You, a foreigner, must be careful in the imperial city, don't be careful, don't be noticed by others, and cause trouble to your upper body."
