After the rebirth

Chapter 150 Chapter 150
Looking back at the tall courtyard walls in Washington, the fourth prince's eyes were dark.

His master and Yan Bai still had something to tell them.

What is it that makes them so secretive?
It even made Yan Bai think so hard to explain, trying to convince him that that was all their secrets.

"Yan Bai, I hope that the secret you concealed won't affect you and me in the future." Said secretly in his heart, the fourth prince led Ji Lin towards the palace.

Hua Yanbai was lying on the warm kang, her eyes glazed over, she wasn't sure if she had fooled the fourth prince, but she didn't notice any strangeness in him.

"Master, do you want to pass on breakfast?" Xu Wu approached and asked in a low voice.

During this time, she was really worried about her master's physical condition.

"Well, I'll have something to eat, take a shower, and sleep. If anything happens, call me in time." Hua Yanbai paused for a moment, and didn't want to eat at first, but followed Xu Wu's wishes and returned.

"Yes." Xu Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to ask the maid to pass on the meal.

"Lin Qing, did you find any clues?" After the morning court, the fourth prince followed the emperor to the imperial study, where Lin Cheng was already waiting.

"Go back to the emperor." Lin Cheng cupped his hands and saluted, "There were 60 assassins who showed up last night, of which nearly 50 died at that time, and ten or four were captured, but before the interrogation, they all committed suicide by drinking poison .”

"Although there was no interrogation, I found a jade pendant from an assassin. Although I don't know its ownership, I should be sure that it is not owned by ordinary people." Lin Cheng took out a jade pendant from his bosom. .

Wu Fu came over, took it, and passed it on to the emperor. Seeing Wu Fu, the fourth prince was startled, and glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, also a little surprised.

"It is indeed not owned by ordinary people!" The emperor took the jade pendant, turned it around twice in his hand, and sneered, "Does Lin Qing really not recognize this Panlong jade?"

"Your Majesty, even if I recognize you, I still can't confirm who is behind the scenes." Lin Cheng said with a look of fear.

"Chen'er, what do you say?" The emperor turned his head to look at his son, he did not miss the stunned moment of the fourth prince just now.

"Father, my son...my son, I have nothing to say." The fourth prince opened his mouth with a look of perplexity on his face, and finally, he just shook his head and sighed, and said dejectedly.

"Lin Qing, check it out. If it's confirmed, report it." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I obey the order." Lin Cheng took the order, then bowed and exited the imperial study.

"In four days, it will be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Is it his 13th birthday?" The father and son were silent for a while, and the emperor sighed and spoke.

"Yes." The fourth prince responded in a low voice.

"This Panlong Jade Bi is a birthday gift I gave him three years ago." The emperor's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Chen'er, go back and have a good rest for a few days. You don't have to go to court again before the New Year's Eve. If you want, you can make preparations for going to the northern border in advance." The emperor said with a sigh of relief.

"My son obeys the order." The fourth prince was not surprised, and saluted lightly, "The minister has returned to the mansion first, and I will pay my respects to the emperor and concubine mother later."

"Well, let's go!" The emperor nodded.

"Go and find out how Lin Cheng got that jade pendant." Out of the palace, the fourth prince got into the carriage and ordered.

"Yes, this subordinate will ask someone to investigate when he turns around." Ji Lin quickly responded.

"Ji Lin, tell me, why didn't your father mention the attack on Washington's mansion?" Back in the mansion, the fourth prince got out of the carriage and suddenly turned to look at Ji Lin who was at the side.

"Eh..." Ji Lin looked at his master in a daze, "This... this subordinate doesn't know."

"Brother Huang!" Just after entering the main courtyard, the voice of the sixth prince came.

"Why are you here? Sneaking away?" Before the people in the mansion told him, the fourth prince looked at him in surprise.

"How can it happen!" The sixth prince pursed his lips, "I have asked for leave from the Tai Tuo, and, on the orders of my mother and concubine, I came here to care about you."

"I will be able to go to court next year, brother emperor, don't always treat me like a child." The sixth prince puffed out his chest and let out a heck of a laugh.

"Go back and tell Concubine Mother that I'm fine. I'll visit her later." The fourth prince shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, brother." The sixth prince nodded, leaned over, lowered his voice, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"What do you think?" The Fourth Prince raised his hand and pushed him away, staring at him speechlessly.

"I said? I said that, you son of a bitch, you're really suffocating!" The sixth prince was startled, "I thought he and the seventh child were playing a small game before, but I didn't expect that this time it's really a big deal!"

"Let's talk about it after a few days. Don't show any strangeness, let him notice." The fourth prince took a sip of tea and warned.

"Okay!" The sixth prince agreed reluctantly. He knew in his heart that it was not easy to deal with, but he just felt annoyed.

"I'm going to take a rest, you go back and be careful." The fourth prince stood up, and after finishing speaking, he entered the inner room.

"I know, don't worry!" The sixth prince responded, and waved to Ji Lin who came to see him off, "You go and serve the emperor, I will go out by myself."

"Your Highness Sixth, the road is slippery, go slowly." Ji Lin saluted and watched him leave.

Outside the palace, it was barely quiet. In the palace, the emperor first went to Wanchen Palace to appease Concubine Wan, but secretly, he made people pay attention to other people's movements.

"Your Majesty, let's go back, it's too cold to melt the snow!" After sending the emperor away, Concubine Wan stood at the door, looking at the snow scene outside, a little lost in thought.

"No matter how cold it is, it won't be as cold as people's hearts!" Concubine Wan murmured in a low voice, turned around slowly, and walked into the inner room.

"In the evening, send someone to deliver the snacks made by me to the fourth prince's mansion. He is alone outside, after all, he is a bit lonely." Concubine Wan whispered to the maid beside her.

"Yes, empress." Carefully supporting her own empress, the maidservant responded respectfully, "Empress, don't worry, this servant will definitely handle it well."

"Go to the warehouse to see if there are any suitable fabrics, and bring them to make two New Year's clothes for the fourth prince and the sixth prince." Concubine Wan thought for a while, and then said.

"The two Highnesses are so happy. The empress made it with her own hands. I'm afraid your Highnesses are reluctant to wear it." The palace maid said with a smile.

"Your mouth is so sweet!" Concubine Wan shook her head and laughed, "Hurry up and try to make it before the New Year's Eve."

"Yes, servant girl is going now." The maidservant saluted and hurried away.

"They all want us to die, heh!" Concubine Wan turned cold and sneered as she was the only one left.

"Let's see!" Gritting her teeth, Concubine Wan leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief has come to report that someone has entered the imperial study." Wu Fu looked at the master who walked out of Wanhe Palace, and hurriedly reported the letter sent by the guards just now.

"Go back." The emperor was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, said something in a deep voice, and walked back quickly.

"Your Majesty." Situ Ang stood guard outside the imperial study with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Open the door." The emperor glanced at him and nodded.

"Yes." Situ Ang paused, then turned around, and opened the door carefully.

"I'll go in by myself." Seeing that Situ Ang was about to advance, the emperor grabbed him and said with dark eyes.
