"Did you deliberately let people spread the news about Lan Yutian?"
In the study, Yan Zhenlin spoke first.
If you don't say that my father-in-law is an old fox, he already knows it before he even opens his mouth.
Lin Bai could only nod his head and briefly explained the situation.
Yan Ruxue looked a little worried when she heard this.
After all, he was the deputy commander of the imperial army and the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. Each of them was a big shot, while Lin Bai was just a fourth-rank official.
Yan Zhenlin didn't think much of it and nodded, "Well done, let them get into trouble."
After a pause, he added: "However, sometimes you don't need to be too careful. You are not alone."
Lao Yan puffed out his chest.
Lin Bai felt happy. Is this a way to give himself a platform?
Lao Yan is so capable, why didn't he notice it before?
Could it be that my father-in-law shouted well today?
Not sure.
The little cabbage at home was abducted by him, but he didn't say anything. Lao Yan probably felt unhappy. Today, his father-in-law and mother-in-law screamed, and he suddenly became open-minded?
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of troublesome father-in-law?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "What's the matter? Your Majesty already knows that we will only keep one son-in-law. I will help you up. Naturally, I can't let you be bullied."
Domineering!
It feels different to have a backer.
Lin Bai was delighted.
Speaking of which, the three most powerful bosses in Dali are all his father-in-law and his backers.
This kind of soft food is unprecedented!
But His Majesty is not included. Being an emperor has been difficult since ancient times.
The Night King is also in trouble, especially at this time, when he only cares about his own flesh and blood, and he can't care about anything else.
After all, Lao Yan is reliable, and it seems that he will please him more in the future.
The sweetness on the corner of Yan Ruxue's mouth became even stronger as she listened. Her pretty face was slightly red and she looked shy.
Yan Zhenlin continued: "You are here today for more than just these, right?"
Lin Bai quickly flattered him and said, "My father-in-law is wise. In fact, my son-in-law feels that this case is a bit troublesome. Before coming, my son-in-law also received some news about Ma Xiangdong, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the Duke of Qin..."
Yan Ruxue's bright eyes widened and she said: "Fan Renli and Lan Yutian are the third prince's people. Ma Xiangdong and the Duke of Qin both support the second prince. Do you suspect they are the second prince and the third prince?"
"No, how old were they at that time? Could it be..."
She obviously thought of something, and her pretty face changed slightly.
The gaze he looked at Lin Bai became more and more worried.
"No! Why do they do this? What does this have to do with them?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "The relationship is serious. Once that woman dies, the Night King and the late Emperor will inevitably break up, and there will be no threat to His Majesty."
"Facts also prove this point. The Night King lived in the border areas and did not return to the capital until the death of the late emperor."
Yan Ruxue's pretty face turned pale, "What do you mean, dad, is it really they who did it?"
Lin Bai was also very suspicious.
Based on the current investigation and the purpose of the person behind it, this matter is likely to have something to do with Concubine Xian and Concubine De, even if it is not their natal family.
His Majesty was still the Crown Prince at that time. As the Crown Prince's concubines, they had absolutely reasons and motives to do this in order to stabilize His Majesty's status.
Of course, there is no evidence yet, just speculation.
But even so, Lin Bai still felt a headache, so he came to ask Lao Yan for advice.
Yan Zhenlin's face didn't change much, and he said, "Are you afraid that it will involve the harem? Don't worry! This matter will not involve the harem."
Yan Ruxue asked in confusion: "Why?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "It's very simple. This matter will only reach the Fan family and the Duke of Qin's house at most."
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, then understood instantly.
Yes! Whether it is Fan Renli or the Duke of Qin, if the matter is exposed, they will only bear the responsibility and will not be involved later.
And they are all for His Majesty, so...
Yan Zhenlin said: "You are right not to expose it. This matter ends here. There is no need to investigate the case. Just focus on finding the person."
Yan Ruxue asked: "Dad! How can we do business without checking Qingfeng?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "There is no need to make a deal. At this point, His Majesty knows it, and so does the Night King. It depends on how they deal with it!"
Lin Bai nodded, feeling sorry for Lao Zhu for a second.
This mess is indeed a dilemma.
One side is the natal family of the two concubines, and the other side is the Night King, and the natal families of the two concubines are all for him.
what to do?
Yan Ruxue suddenly asked: "Dad, doesn't your Majesty know anything about it?"
"Good question!"
Yan Zhenlin looked solemn, "Looking at His Majesty's reaction before, he probably doesn't know, but whether he really doesn't know or is pretending not to know, that's unclear."
"Pretending not to know?"
Yan Ruxue's eyes were filled with doubts.
Yan Zhenlin did not answer, but looked at Ming Ming.
Lin Bai was actually thinking about this issue as well. Lao Zhu looked like he was not an economical person at first glance. It would be inappropriate to say that he was completely unaware.
But if he knew it, why did he let himself investigate thoroughly?
Is it because of pressure from the Night King?
Lin Bai discovered that this was really a conspiracy, an unsolvable conspiracy.
Although His Majesty and the Night King seem to be on good terms at the moment, and are even discussing acting, the gap is actually irreparable.
"And one more thing."
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked: "If Concubine Xian and Concubine Virtue are both involved, then will the Empress also be involved?"
After all, the Queen was the official concubine, the Crown Princess at that time.
If His Majesty's ascension to the throne of God benefits the three of them the most, it is undoubtedly her.
Yan Zhenlin frowned and said, "Not necessarily. I remember that the palace queen had just given birth to the fourth prince and was a little frightened at that time. She probably didn't have the mind to pay attention to this."
"However, it is not ruled out that people from the Yang family can take action."
"But there is no need to delve into these further."
Concubine Xian and Concubine De are both involved, and it is obviously not wise to delve deeper into it. Lao Yan’s meaning is very clear, that’s the end of it.
Lin Bai naturally didn't want to investigate, after all, she was Xiao Qi's mother.
And be kind to yourself.
However, there was one thing he had to confirm, and that was Zhuiyue's identity.
The Queen is obviously different from Zhui Yue, but the two of them have nothing in common. On the surface, it is because Zhui Yue saved the sixth prince. As the Queen's harem master, she is the mother of the world, which is what she should do.
But Lin Bai could feel that the queen's concern was not just a mere formality.
In addition, Zhuiyue was born in Liangzhou.
So he wondered if there was any connection between the Queen, Chai Yue, and the flesh and blood of the Night King.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law wants to find out the people around the queen. Can you ask the prime minister's office for help?"
Yan Zhenlin looked at him deeply and asked, "Is it necessary to investigate?"
Lin Bai nodded, "I want to confirm the identity of a person who may be related to the Night King's flesh and blood, but I don't want to implicate the Queen, so I can't let the Feilong Guard and the Night King's Mansion investigate."
"good!"
Yan Zhenlin nodded.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
