Whirlwind exposed his sharp nails hidden under the flesh pad, scratched the note into pieces, then shouted at the prince, jumped off the bed, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
The prince looked at the scraps of paper on the bed and had a new understanding of how smart the little black cat was. In addition to delivering letters, he also took care of the task of destroying notes. After completing the task, he left by himself.
The prince stood by the window for a long time before going back to bed to rest. He decided to talk about the rest after dawn.
Xuanfeng rushed back to Lianyi's room in Shangshufu just before dawn. When he saw his master meditating, he didn't disturb him. He just lay beside Lianyi and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Lianyi Yuan completed a Zhoutian exercise. After finishing the exercise, he saw Tornado, touched the opponent's fur and head and asked with a smile:
"Xuanfeng, how did things go?"
"The note has been given to the Crown Prince. As for whether he will take Lin Yaozu to the battlefield, it depends on his own decision."
< br>“No need to worry.”
Lianyi said calmly.
Just by taking Lin Yaozu to the battlefield, the prince can repay the favor of saving his life. This deal is very cost-effective.
That day, when Lianyi and Lin Yaozu were having dinner with Mrs. Lin, Lin Shangshu came back with a worried look on his face.
"Husband, why are you so late today?"
Mrs. Lin immediately stood up and greeted her.
Lianyi and Lin Yaozu also stood up and saluted Lin Shangshu, and Lianyi thoughtfully asked the maid to serve the dishes again.
"Don't worry about me. You have dinner first. I have to go to the study first. Yaozu, please come to the study after dinner."
Lin Shangshu said to his son.
“Yes, father.”
Lin Yaozu responded immediately.
After hearing this, the corners of Lianyi's lips slowly raised. It seemed that things should go smoothly.
After dinner, Ripple had a cup of tea with Mrs. Lin, and then returned to her yard. After all, there were three children waiting for her.
As a result, Lin Yaozu did not go back to his room to rest that night. Lianyi thought that he had gone to the yard of another concubine, so she did not wait for him. After watching the children all fall asleep, she started to sit cross-legged to absorb the spiritual energy again.
Early the next morning, Lianyi got up and watched the maid and mother-in-law taking care of the three children for breakfast. Then she slowly drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and when she came, she looked ugly and hung up. Lin Yaozu with dark circles under his eyes.
"Husband, you want to have breakfast, I will tell the maid to prepare it for you again."
Lianyi stood up and said with a smile.
“No, Ripple, sit down, I have something to tell you.”
Lin Yaozu waved his hands and then sat down. After sitting down, he even rubbed his eyebrows.
"Okay, you say."
Lianyi sat next to Lin Yaozu and looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.
"Lianyi, I may have to follow the crown prince on the expedition this time."
"What?"
Ripple immediately adjusted his expression and pretended to be surprised.
"Husband, please don't coax me. Even if I don't understand the affairs of the court, I heard my father say that my father-in-law does not take sides in the court. What's more, you are just the principal. How is that possible?"
Lin Yaozu also looked helpless and aggrieved at this time. He had received an idle job in the Ministry of War. He was just a small chief, and he was from the eighth rank. He could not even dispatch troops or generals. he. But this time the crown prince found his father and asked him to accompany him. What could he do?
"Father only got the news yesterday. He asked me to go to the study room last night just for this matter. He said that it was probably him who got me involved.
After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. When the prince goes on an expedition, there are certain things to do about how to fight the battle and how the Ministry of War cooperates. In order for the Ministry of War to actively cooperate, I became a pawn in the hands of the prince. "
After listening to Lin Yaozu's explanation, Lianyi took out her handkerchief and began to wipe her tears. However, she did not cry loudly, but she just cried silently, and then asked with choked sobs:
"Husband, Can't someone else go instead? "
"If it were someone else, my father wouldn't be so worried. "
"Does mother-in-law know about this? ”
"Father will tell her that you should work hard during this period and help me prepare things for my trip."
After Lin Yaozu finished speaking, he handed a list to Ripple.
"This is the list my father compiled for me last night. It contains the things I need to bring with me when I go on an expedition. You can prepare them for me in advance."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Get ready."
Lianyi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, took the list with her other hand, and looked at the densely written things on it. She knew that Lin Shangshu was careful this time and had prepared everything. Useful and life-saving at critical moments.
"I have to go to court today. It is estimated that the list of people who will accompany the prince on the expedition will be announced today. I will go change my clothes first."
Lin Yaozu said.
Lianyi could only nod, then turned around and took Mei Zhi to see Mrs. Lin with the list.
At this time, Mrs. Lin also learned from her husband that her son was going to go to war with the prince. She immediately turned pale, fell down on the chair and began to breathe heavily. Lin Shangshu on the side read it and immediately He went over and stroked the old wife's back gently, while comforting:
"Madam, don't worry, the prince said he will take care of Yaozu."
"Husband, can't you not go? I am just a son with no eyesight on the battlefield. If he has some shortcomings, how can I live?"
Mrs. Lin also began to cry and wipe her tears.
"Madam, the emperor's order cannot be violated."
What else can Lin Shangshu say? If he does not let his son accompany him this time, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the prince. In the future, the prince If he ascends the throne, he will definitely find trouble.
"Madam, you have to think about An'an, Ningning and Beibei. After all, our Lin family has an heir. If anything happens, it will be his life
But with this contribution, the future of the grandchildren will be worry-free. You can't always think about the bad, but also think about the good. For the future of the Lin family, it is still worth a try. ”
Lin Shangshu has been on the battlefield and knows that this battle is inevitable, and his son has obviously become a chess piece on the chessboard, so he must give full play to the role of the chess piece and obtain corresponding benefits for the family.
It can be seen that Lin Shangshu is a very competent patriarch.
Mrs. Lin naturally knows what her husband means, but knowing that it is one thing to accept is another thing. She also hopes that her son can make a contribution. , to hold up the lintel, but there is no danger in fighting
Fortunately, there are three grandchildren, which makes Mrs. Lin's mood not so bad. If her daughter-in-law does not give birth to a legitimate grandson for the Lin family, she will fight for the third grade. Mrs. Gaoming doesn't want her title, and she won't let her son go to war.
Under the comfort of Lin Shangshu, Mrs. Lin's mood eased a little, and then she saw Lianyi coming to see her with red eyes.
The two women gathered together, and they were both mothers, and they wiped away tears for a long time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost complete, Lianyi went directly to the topic and prepared travel supplies for her husband.
After five days of intensive preparations, the prince gathered his troops, bid farewell to the emperor, and set off from the imperial city in a grand manner.
The grain and grass had already set off three days in advance. Before arriving at the border, the prince had to join two other groups of soldiers and horses, and then go straight to Fengyu border town where the conflict was most serious.
