The Opening of the Red Chamber

After the father and daughter murmured and discussed in the study for a while, the most important thing was settled.

The next arrangement was that Lin Ruhai went to Beijing to meet the new emperor, and Lin Fan went to the Northwest Garrison with the military amulet given by the deceased Princess Eldest Princess.

Living at home is naturally the most comfortable life, but there are not many such comfortable days.And on such a comfortable day, Lin Fan didn't dare to be careless.Then, if Uncle Mei's father went to Beijing, would the fourth son of the emperor whom she didn't know, that is, the new emperor, be unfavorable to his father or something.For example, adding some ingredients to his father's diet, or causing obstacles in other places, thinking of these situations made Lin Fan very worried.

So Lin Fan was also busy during the days of staying at home.She enlisted the help of her non-human colleague Rhea at the base, and made a lot of pills and packed them in small porcelain bottles for his father to carry close to him.He even got some water out of the ts1073 base, and found a rather frustrating excuse of "collecting snow water in winter", and asked his father to boil it with spring water every day to make tea.

The girl's thoughtfulness and attention to detail naturally comforted Lin Ruhai, who is an old father. Before he went out, his daughter packed all the luggage for him.He even exhorted and exhorted carefully, this kind of heart-warming care made Lin Ruhai even more reluctant to part with Lin Fan's long journey.

Lin Fan never asked her father about the new emperor, because she knew what he was like.There is a clear statement in the original book that the purge of the old aristocratic family began as soon as he came to power, and the methods were straightforward, without any delay.It doesn't matter if you don't ask about such a person, I just hope that this person doesn't make things difficult for her father.After all, since Jia Min died and she replaced the original owner, she has been close to the eldest princess and the seventh prince.I can only pray that the new emperor will not be too cruel.

After staying at home in Yangzhou for less than half a month, the "Lin Fan" in Beijing arrived at the time written in the letter.

Lin Fan naturally told Lin Ruhai about this matter, and the most lamentable thing is that on the third day after "Lin Fan" arrived at his home in Yangzhou, news came from Beijing that the new emperor wanted Lin Ruhai to take him with him. Her daughter returned to Beijing together.

This is really a dramatic scene, obviously a warning and temptation in disguise.

In the afternoon of the day when Lin Fan heard the news, he hurriedly pretended to be a servant at home and left the house to embark on a journey.

She knew that the thing she was carrying would invite assassination, and she also knew that the news would reach the ears of the palace people sooner or later.It's just that she didn't expect this to happen so quickly, forcing her to act quickly.Fortunately, she is a cheater, so this incident did not cause her much trouble, it just made her a little annoyed.

Compared with Lin Fan's irritability, Shui Junhui, the seventh prince in Beijing, is in dire straits.

The sudden death of His Royal Highness the eldest princess was the biggest blow and loss to him.On the night of the old saint's death, he was secretly locked up in his mansion by the fourth brother's people, and he didn't know anything about it outside.Naturally, no one dared to interfere with the secrets and housework in the royal family, and these matters also involved power struggles.

He also clearly knew what his fourth brother, who was about to become a new saint, wanted to take away from him.It's just that such a thing is now going where it should go.Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had discussed with him long ago, and all the retreats were prepared. What he was worried about now was what kind of means the fourth brother would use to force him to hand over the thing.As long as this thing is not in the hands of his fourth brother, then his life is safe for the time being.

Not to mention the internal strife in the royal palace, the capital is very busy now.

Seeing that it was September 29th, the officials of various departments were almost overwhelmed.Only Jia She, who stayed at home, continued to live leisurely. Under such a leisurely and leisurely surface, he was actually very anxious.Because he had already learned that the new emperor sent someone to pass the news to his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai, thinking about the letter Lin Fan left him when he quietly left, and thinking about what happened recently, he thought about it. I am getting more and more worried.

But it's useless to worry, the day should go on or go on.

Lin Fan left Yangzhou on September 22 and went south along the canal to Dantu, which is the boundary of Zhenjiang Prefecture.She is going to go to Anhui, cross Hebei and Shaanxi, and finally go to the border of Ganzhou in Gansu.

Going to Ganzhou in the northwest is a real long-distance trek.

When returning to Yangzhou, despite all the precautions on the road, there was no expected assassination.So this time when you go out, you have to be more careful.Knowing how difficult it would be for him to go out this time, Lin Fan was alone when he went out.

Lin Ruhai, a father, thought about the possibility of his daughter's life and death, and when he told her daughter in the study, his eyes were red.

"Father, when I was seven years old, I was able to save the Seventh Prince from many people who assassinated him. Now that I am 14 years old, can't I still walk alone?" Lin Fan recalled that day in the study Dialogue with Uncle Mei’s father, “Don’t worry, Dad, God is very kind to me, and will never let me be in danger. But Dad, you have to be extremely careful when you go to Beijing. The four Prince, I have a very bad feeling, he is not a soft-hearted person, he may not have the stamina of the old sage, you have to be extra careful in doing things."

"Don't worry, my son, Dad knows."

"The last thing, Dad, please take care of uncle. Although uncle is usually a muddleheaded person, he often does some inappropriate things. The second room has become embarrassing this time. Dad, you met, you must tell me Uncle calm down, don’t act impulsively and do stupid things.” Lin Fan was most worried about Yuan Chun, she knew that Yuan Chun could not escape the fate of the chess piece that was used and died, so she mentioned it to Uncle Mei. When talking about this matter, there was a bit of sighing in her tone that she hadn't noticed.

After Lin Fan left home, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing with her daughter 'Lin Fan' three days later.

Departing from Yangzhou Mansion, Lin Fan dressed up as an ordinary daughter-in-law and took a boat all the way south to Zhenjiang Mansion.Passing through Dantu's Zhenjiang Mansion, I changed boats and headed upstream to Huaining in Anhui.This way she took the waterway, at least before she set foot on land, the chance of assassination on the waterway should be lower.

All of this is almost the same as Lin Fan estimated, but the assassination that should come will still come.

When Lin Fan left the Yangzhou mansion, the assassins who followed were already waiting.They have seen Lin Fan's figure before.These people have been trained, no matter how Lin Fan dresses up, as long as she does not change her figure, she will be recognized.Of course, Lin Fan won't change her body shape, she has cheats, and she is afraid of changing her body.

Therefore, when Lin Fan changed the passenger ship to Huaining, the lurking assassins also followed suit.They will not do anything within the boundaries of Yangzhou Mansion, if they want to do it, they must go outside the scope of Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangning Mansion.As long as they wait for Lin Fan to step into the territory of Huaining and Anqing in Anhui, then it will be a good time for them to make a move.

Now, they just follow and monitor her and inform their master of her actions at any time.

Lin Fan didn't know that these assassins were on the same passenger ship as her. This passenger ship was not the largest, but there were more than a dozen guest cabins on the ship.After Lin Fan asked for an ordinary guest cabin, he entered the room and locked the door.This kind of behavior made the assassins who deliberately lived diagonally opposite her secretly happy.Their mission this time is not only to assassinate Lin Fan, but more importantly, to obtain from her what Her Royal Highness the Princess gave her back then. If it is not with her, they must pry her open mouth, get the whereabouts of that thing and related matters.

Of course, while following Lin Fan and waiting for action, he naturally reported the monitoring situation to the master.

It was the fourth prince who followed Lin Fan. Originally, the third and fifth children were also chasing this thing, but when they were on the way, Lin Fan and her colleague Rhea used some tricks to throw them off.The fourth child is very scheming, he has chess pieces beside the third and fifth, and the eldest princess was forced to death by her father, and after hearing the news from the two brothers, naturally she will not let the eldest princess stay. private soldiers.

Therefore, before Lin Fan fully expected, the people here had already followed her.

With the exact news that the real Lin Fan was traveling to the Northwest, these killers naturally passed the news back to Beijing.Fourth prince, no, when the new sage received the news, he also clearly learned that Lin Ruhai had returned to Beijing with his daughter.

Such news made the new saint on the throne sneer.In the eyes of the new sage, the Lin family father and son are really courageous. Is it really expected that he will not choose this time to make a move? !As soon as the old father passed away, he would eradicate the confidants left behind by the old father. He would not do such a thing in the open.Besides, it was his dead father's confidant, not his confidant, and it was the confidant of someone else who had been on the opposite side of him, which made him unable to use someone with peace of mind.

Lin Fan didn't speculate on the news of the new sage's enthronement and what he thought in his heart, because her father told her that as long as she was safe and not caught, then generally speaking, everything would be fine. is safe.

At this moment, on the journey, what she was thinking about now was that she didn't know what would happen to the seventh prince, Shui Junhui.

Of course, this will not make any difference, and the face of the royal family still has to be taken care of at this moment.Even after the old sage's decree came out and he passed away, he immediately arranged for Lao Qi, who was the greatest threat to his ascension to the throne, to be imprisoned. Now he has ascended the throne, but this chair He was not sitting securely, so even if Lao Qi was released, he still sent someone to monitor him.Even those who were close to him at the beginning were included in the list of surveillance objects.

At sunset and dusk, the boatman rested on the small pier in Jiangning Town along the way.

The boatman knocked on the doors of the guests one by one, asking what they wanted for dinner.Naturally, there were people on the boat who disliked the bad food of the boat guys, so they got off the boat and went to the town to look for delicious food.Lin Fan is naturally this kind of person, of course he got off the boat and went to the town to find food.
