Chapter 248 A quick decision is needed
Fuli got up in the morning and went out with Azhi, not knowing what happened at the house, so she asked Fuya quietly: "Sister, what happened this morning?"

Fu Ya sent someone to invite Lin Zhi to come over, placed all the guests in the front hall, called the servants to deliver lunch, and then found time to come.

She pulled Fuli aside and said to her in a low voice: "The imperial decree came from the palace in the morning, Mr. Sheng Lin and Mr. Yao are the imperial guards."

Fuli was overjoyed: "This is a good thing! Fuli hasn't congratulated the two sons in person yet."

Fuya lightly pressed Fuli's hand, and continued: "Later, I heard that the emperor had an accident in the palace and fell off his horse. I don't know the extent of the injury. My lord was hastily called into the palace."

Something happened to the emperor? !My lord now commands the guards of the palace...

Fuli panicked, her palms were sweating, and even her voice was trembling: "When did your lord enter the palace? Is there any news now? Is there something wrong with the emperor, will your lord be in danger? Let's, let's House..."

In the capital, new mansions are rising all the time, and old aristocratic families are declining.

Xie Qian is deeply trusted by the Holy Majesty, and his status is rising day by day, but the Xie family is now looking at the fire cooking oil and flowers blooming, but it is actually a castle in the air.

Even the servants of the Xie Mansion know that Xie Qian is a pure minister, a lonely minister, isolated and helpless in the court——

If the emperor loses the trust this time, what should the Xie family do?
Fuya held Fuli's hand tightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't panic. Master Ming has already entered the palace to inquire about the news. We can just wait with peace of mind."

Fuli bit her lower lip and nodded.

But she hadn't experienced anything, and the panic in her heart was always lingering and couldn't go away.

After a long while, Fuli seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Sister said, the two sons have been promoted to the imperial guard? Does that mean they can also enter the palace?"

Fuya frowned slightly, and warned: "Fuli, don't talk too much about things that we shouldn't care about."

Fuli pursed her lips, but did not speak.

She knew that the two young masters were not people who stood by and watched, even the young master Lin with the most indifferent expression on his face, in Fuli's eyes, he was just a character of not getting close to strangers.

Now that something happened to Xie's mansion, she should tell them.

What's more, the two young masters are capable of helping the Xie family.

If so, if she can share the burden for the adults... Fuli is willing to do it even at the risk of being punished for talking too much.

It was only a matter of time for lunch, Xie Ming had already made a trip to the imperial city and came back from the palace.

When Xie Ming returned to Xie Mansion, he saw Lin Rong and Yao Chao sitting in the front hall, as if they were waiting for him to come back. Young Master Lin went somewhere to play.

There was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, with a solemn expression, he went straight to Lin Rong and Yao Chao, and bowed deeply to them: "Young masters, the Xie family has something to trouble you two. , I wonder if the two sons can listen to it?"

The two turned their sides to avoid Xie Qian's gift.

Lin Zhi said, "Don't dare."

Xie Ming insisted on completing the ceremony, so the two had no choice but to accept it.

Yao Chaowen said in a warm voice: "Your Majesty Ming, you don't have to be polite. Miss Fuli from Caicai's mansion has already given us a general idea. If it is useful to us, of course she will not hesitate. I just don't know, how should we contribute?"

Xie Ming swung back to the left and right, and when there were only the three of them left in the front hall, he said in a low voice: "Just now I entered the palace to inquire about the news, the emperor was injured while riding a horse in the martial arts arena. The horse was frightened for no reason, it was indeed done by someone with a heart. —Your Excellency cannot escape the blame.”

Lin Rong raised his voice and asked the question he was concerned about: "Has everyone in the martial arts field been controlled?"

Xie Ming nodded: "Eunuch Da in front of the imperial court has already locked up everyone. Now my lord is going to investigate alone. I am afraid that the news will spread in a short time, and my lord will also be asked to avoid suspicion."

Lin Rong and Yao Chao nodded, they already understood Xie Qian's meaning.

Yao Chao said: "If the two of us brothers can enter the palace to help Lord Xie investigate, we can avoid suspicion and prevent those who want to make trouble. It's just that the relationship between Ah Wei and Lord Xie must not be known to others."

Xie Ming hurriedly said: "Only the servants in the family know about the relationship between Mr. Lin and your lord. This matter will not be leaked."

The two nodded.

Lin Zhi discussed with Yao Chao in a low voice, and sorted out the general idea.

Then, what remains is the most critical question.

Yao Chao asked: "I don't know how we will enter the palace? Do we have the authority to investigate?"

Xie Ming nodded, and said in a low voice: "There are people from His Majesty in the palace to help, I will handle this matter well. Don't worry, the two young masters, just follow me into the palace."

Neither Lin Zhi nor Yao Chao raised any objections. Yao Chao was careful and asked a few more details. Xie Ming answered everything he knew.

Lin Wei reminded: "This matter needs to be resolved quickly. If my second brother and I go late, I'm afraid someone with a heart will take action."

Yao Chao sighed, "I'm afraid he has already made a move. It's just that the soldiers came to block him, and the water came to cover him."

Seeing that the two of them are transparent and alert, Xie Ming couldn't help saying in his heart: If these two had helped the lord earlier, the lord would not have been isolated and helpless in the court these years.

I only hope that today's incident will be safe and secure...

Lin Rong and Yao Chao soon followed Xie Ming into the palace, quietly, without being known by others, and even the road they walked was an unmanned path.

After Xie Ming sent the two of them to the palace and brought them to a secluded place, he said in a low voice: "You two young masters, wait here for a while, and Eunuch Le, who is in front of the imperial court, will take you there later. I have many identities. If it is inconvenient, if someone with a heart sees it, we will not be able to hide our relationship."

Both Lin Rong and Yao Chao nodded, expressing their understanding.

Xie Ming hurriedly went to the front hall to find someone.

This place is indeed considered remote, and now there is no one around, only Lin Zhi and Yao Chao are left, and it is also a good time to take this opportunity to exchange ideas.

Lin Rong analyzed: "We started with the horses in the martial arts field, because we didn't want to reveal our identity. It's just that no matter how careful the actions are, anyone who has been in contact with the horses will definitely show their feet. Follow the direction of the horses, probably not. Error."

Yao Chao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Now we don't know enough details. We only hope that the people in front of the imperial court will be united with Mr. Xie, so that we can know more definite news. Only when we know what happened in the martial arts arena. , the abnormality of the horse, and the current dynamics in the court, we can deduce the identity of the person who attacked."

Lin Zhi frowned slightly, and stood still, as if he was thinking about the possible reasons.

Yao Chao chuckled again: "However, we can make a guess. There is no more information left and right, and we are idle again."

Lin Zhi nodded.

I just heard Yao Chao following Lin Roe's train of thought and continued: "If you want to assassinate the emperor, the palace is the most convenient. Usually the emperor doesn't bring guards, does he? It's just chosen in the martial arts arena, which happens to have guards If it is not deliberately arranged, I am afraid it is a bit far-fetched."

Lin Rong had the same idea as Yao Chao, and continued: "From startling the horse to falling off the horse, there will be a short reaction time. As long as you don't have the power to restrain the chicken, the possibility of just saving your life is still very high."

The two looked at each other, and Yao Chao said in a low voice, "If the injury is too serious..."

For an emperor who is seriously injured and bedridden, there are too many variables in the court.

Yao Chao sighed and did not speak again.

According to the two people's current guesses, the situation has gradually become clear. I am afraid that the most direct purpose of the instigator is to pull Xie Qian off his horse.

Neither Lin Rong nor Yao Chao made this inference out.

It's just that Xie Qian was alone, without the support of his family, and he took the position of the head of the Imperial Academy, and concurrently served as the commander of the palace guards, so he might have become a target long ago.

After this kind of encounter, even if the Holy Majesty did not dislike Xie Qian, his ability and trust in him would be greatly reduced, let alone the emperor himself...

After a while, Yao Chao sighed and said with a headache, "It's been less than a day since the imperial decree was issued, and the capital has only been here for two days. It's not a good thing or a bad thing for the two of us to intervene in such a big trouble. I just hope that the situation will not change." It developed beyond control..."

Lin Zhi knew that Yao Chao was not in the mood to sit idly by, so he hesitated for a while, but still said according to his thoughts: "Second brother, you shouldn't interfere in this matter."

Yao Chao shook his head, and asked Lin Rong back, "I don't need to interfere. It's just Ah Rong, can you stand by and watch?"

Lin Zhi fell silent.

Although he had known Xie Qian not long ago, he had already recognized Xie Qian's character in his heart and regarded him as his relative.

What happened today is clearly aimed at Xie Qian, it is impossible for Lin Zhi to watch him fall into isolation and helplessness.

It's just...he didn't want to involve Yao Chao.

Seeing Lin Zhi's frown, Yao Chao smiled and comforted him: "Don't think too much. We two brothers, when didn't we advance and retreat together? Besides, since the people in front of the imperial court are temporarily standing by Mr. Xie's side, why don't we Let the two of us come in, I think the emperor will have nothing serious."

Lin Wei opened his mouth: "But second brother..."

The investigation needs to be resolved quickly, otherwise if Xie Qian is pulled down, the two of them will bear the brunt.

Yao Chao and Xie Qian have only known each other for a few days, why would he take such a big risk for this?

Knowing Lin Rong's worries, Yao Chao interrupted him, and said seriously: "Ah Ling, you are not indecisive. The danger on the Black Tiger Mountain, we two brothers broke through together. What is today? "

Lin Zhi's eyes were calm, he looked into Yao Chao's eyes, and said seriously: "Second brother, thank you very much."

Yao Chaolang smiled brightly, and he was dressed in white, showing a different appearance from his usual gentle temperament, and said to Lin Zhi: "Okay, thank you brothers. If you want to calculate it this way, you defended him in every possible way at Heihu Mountain that day. Friendship, I haven't thanked you yet."

A serious look appeared on Lin Zhi's face, and he said solemnly: "Second brother, because I am involved in this matter, I will definitely protect my second brother."

Yao Chao didn't want Lin Rong to feel burdened, so he joked, "Then I'll stay behind Ah Rong and focus on investigating the case! We two little shrimps who just wade into the muddy waters of the capital, wonder if we can put this The water gets muddier."

Seeing his relaxed and peaceful appearance, Lin Rong couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling a warm feeling in his heart...
