Chapter 64 That Woman

The two sedan chairs stopped at the same time, and the bearer carefully lowered the front stick and retreated into the distance as silently as Fan Jian had done when he met with Chen Pingping. The head of the sedan chair naturally tilted forward, and the person sitting inside should have been uncomfortable, but strangely enough, neither the prime minister nor the person in that sedan chair came out to meet each other.

So the heads of the sedan chair were facing each other and worshipping each other, like two friends greeting each other with hands clasped in greeting, or like a pair of newlyweds worshipping heaven and earth before their bridal chamber.

“Ruofu, don’t be too sad.” A soft voice finally rang out from the opposite sedan chair, surprisingly, it was the eldest princess who had personally left the palace to meet her lover from many years ago!

Hearing this familiar voice, the Lord Chancellor in the sedan chair frowned slightly, seemingly thinking of something many years ago, he said faintly, “The Eldest Princess cares about my family’s affairs, I am grateful.”

Hearing his words of rejecting people in a thousand miles, the eldest princess s voice immediately became poignant and soft: “How can this master and minister difference …… be brought up between the two of you and me? Why are you talking so raw today.”

A cold laugh came out from Lord Chancellor’s sedan chair, “Your Highness, Ruo Fu is incompetent, but does not want to become a randomly kneaded dough in the hands of Your Highness.”

The other sedan chair fell silent, seemingly unable to imagine that the other party would say such hurtful words, and only after a long time did he responded miserably, “Ruofu, what do you mean by this? Gong child is not my child, but every New Year’s festival, I always let people send gifts to the house, I also like you general love …… me, me me, hall of princess of dignity, is not it is your outburst? Just just just …… today you are in a bad mood, or first say it.”

Lin Ruofu suddenly snorted coldly and said, “Today with the eldest princess to meet, is to speak with the princess to listen to, ten months of the marriage of the morning child, I have promised.”

Outside the palace wall is dark, only rested in the eldest princess sedan chair side of the lantern scattered a little light, a long time of silence is enough to confirm the sedan chair in the seemingly weak woman, at this time in the heart of how shocked, after hearing the words and how angry. After a long time, the Princess’s voice was as clear and cold as the cold wind in the third quarter of the year before it penetrated beyond the curtains of the sedan chair: “That’s my daughter! I won’t let her marry that little bastard from the Fan family.” The eldest princess regardless of the official in the palace outside, has always given a kind of soft and weak image, who knows at this time to speak so harsh kill.

“Can you …… argue with His Majesty?” Lin Ruofu’s voice for no reason more than a trace of self-blame self-hatred self contempt, “What’s more …… his majesty let the whole world know that Chen’er is my daughter, which doomed her to be only a not very honorable role as well.”

The eldest princess’s voice had immediately repeated into a million poignant, “You really endure ……”

Lin Ruofu now felt very nauseous when he heard this kind of voice from the other side, and said in disgust, “If the princess is worried about the inner treasury, this is no longer in my consideration nowadays.”

The eldest princess said in a trembling voice: “If you don’t consider it, who is going to consider it? I’m a woman, alone in the palace, is it easy all these years?”

Sedan chair Lin Ruofu face abhorrence color: “I have a daughter, but not allowed to see each other all year round, only in the palace feast occasionally can be far from a glance, as a father to do into me this kind of appearance, is it easy for me!”

Princess miserable defense: “this is unable to do things, when I bead tire dark knot, and can not bear to misunderstand your future, which will raise her alone, all these years, I in the palace for you to take care of, from the inner treasury secretly transfer silver for you to use, is it that you do not miss me a good?”

The voice in the Chancellor’s sedan chair chilled, and Lin Ruofu said in a low growl, “My future? Since then, when have I ever taken the initiative to ask for this kind of future? When the poor study Lang, but now has become a generation of prime minister, seems to be the scenery, but there are women can not see, gave birth to a son …… but …… “He said in the sedan chair trembling voice:” …… but died tragically in front of it, where is this my future, what I want. This is just the power that you want, you are not willing to marry a side horse harnessed by the side of a team that can never get out of the way, and live the rest of your life in peace just, could it be that I am still thanking you for these things?”

Hearing these words, the Eldest Princess was furious and cried out shrilly, “Lin Ruofu, things have come to this, yet you come and say these bastard words. If you are really unwilling, why didn’t you say anything when you were transferred to the Academy to serve as a counselor? Why didn’t you feel bad when I let you into the Hanlin Academy? For you to ask for the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice to wait for the actual position of Lang, why do not you blame yourself? When you were rising in the ranks, you didn’t remember my good deeds, but now when things go a little wrong, you vent all your anger on me!”

“Very good, Rui’er.” Listening to the Eldest Princess’s voice getting higher and higher, Lin Ruofu’s voice instead quieted down, but the words he said were incomparably spiteful: “I’d rather you be such a shrew than to have you always be that kind of mournful look, don’t you know that, that’s very disgusting.”

The eldest princess was so infuriated that she couldn’t speak.

“Regarding Chen’er’s marriage, I’ve decided, I’ve observed Fan Xian, no matter what kind of person he is, but at least he’s a person who doesn’t die easily.” Lin Ruofu said coldly, “I don’t want my daughter to become a widow.”

The eldest princess rebuked bitterly, “Have you lost your head today, Gong’er has only been murdered and you’re rushing to pull the Fan family together, do you really believe what that old dog Chen Pingping said, what kind of person is the Four Gu Swords, how could he come to the capital to kill people! Maybe Fan Jian is the mastermind behind it.”

Lin Ruofu coldly said, “The one who died was my son, do you think I didn’t go to see him one last time? Those wounds can’t be concealed, the sword intent of the Four Gu Swords is overpowering but casual, even if I’m mistaken, the one in my mansion won’t be.”

Seeing that she couldn’t convince the other party, the eldest princess softened her tone and pleaded, “You wait for me to check again, even if you don’t pity me, but don’t let Chen’er marry into the Fan family.”

After a moment of silence, Lin Ruofu finally spoke, “Wu Bo’an proposed a plan to assassinate Fan Xian to me, I didn’t agree, but I didn’t think that he talked the foolish Gong’er into it.”

The Eldest Princess fell silent, knowing that it was already difficult to convince the other party that she had nothing to do with this matter.

“Wu Boan is your man.” Lin Ruofu’s voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the curtains of the sedan chair that swayed in the night wind, “I always knew that he was your man, he was the man you used to spy on me, but I didn’t think that my son would die because of you, so let’s call it a day.”

The night wind gradually rises around the imperial city, the green sedan chair slowly disappears into the darkness as soon as it is lifted, a lantern disheveled and powerless collapses next to the other lonely sedan chair, and the sound of a woman’s sobbing comes from the sedan chair vaguely.

Eunuchs fearful of going up, the palace maid in the side of the lantern, a line of people slowly along the imperial city of the corner gate into the palace and travel.

The sedan chair went for a long time before arriving at the Princess’s temporary residence in Guangxin Palace, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, full of tears Princess from the sedan chair down, a few eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly bowed their heads, do not dare to raise their heads to see. Rapunzel weakly and feebly walked up the stone steps, finally wiped the tears on her face, and suddenly smiled sweetly, like the willow after the dew generally show the green posture, said timidly: “All kill it.”

Several green light appeared! A few eunuchs were too late to beg for mercy, they were killed by the palace maid close to the eldest princess by slitting their throats with short knives in their sleeves, within the night hall, the corpses fell to the ground with a few slight sounds.

The prime minister’s mansion is not the largest mansion in Kyoto, but it is the richest mansion, whether it is the King of Jing, or the rich and noble Tian Ling Hou family, are not as good as the phase of the mansion. The main door of the phase of the house and the decoration, does not look how rich, but really know the line of people, a glance will be able to see out of the house furnishings, are already some convergence of the style, only the inner high-level stuff, just a few chairs, it is estimated that can be replaced by the King of Jing’s family that a large nursery.

Of course, the comparison we made here, naturally, the emperor’s family mansion eliminated out, his old man’s mansion called the palace, that guy who dares to compare to go.

Lin Ruofu its people can in a short period of more than twenty years, convergence of so much wealth, the world all know its greedy and treacherous, why his majesty but always open eyes as did not see, this is really a piece of people very confused things.

Walking through the front hall, and those who came to greet the civil officials, Lin Ruofu walked into the inner house with a somewhat disheveled face. The officials knew that Lord Chancellor was in a low mood and was not in a position to disturb, so they excused themselves, with only a few officials with urgent business waiting hand and foot. Lin Ruofu seemed to remember them and walked back, asking what had happened and forcing himself to finish dealing with these matters at hand before waving his hand feebly and letting them go. When these officials left the minister’s residence, they were blaming themselves and admiring, the prime minister met with such a tragedy, but still able to prioritize public affairs, is really an unparalleled pillar of the country.

Came to the inner mansion, after entering the study, Lin Ruofu sat on the table, long time without saying a word.

“My lord, it seems inappropriate to turn against the Eastern Palace at this time.” The chancellor’s closest friend and most personal strategist, Yuan Hongdao, brought him a cup of tea. Yuan Hongdao was wearing a plain dress today, as he looked at Lin Ruofu’s strong spirit, he couldn’t help but feel gloomy and said, “Let’s not talk about this for now, Your Excellency go and rest first.”

Lin Ruofu shook his head, his wrinkles filled with thick sorrow, and said softly, “Things have come to this, for the sake of this house full of sons and nephews, and the Lin clan, I always have to plan a way out.”
