escape to the end

Chapter 95. Grandpa

There is no wind or rain in the courtyard, which is a good weather for Sunday's winter.Lin Chi half leaned on the thick and soft table that was moved to the courtyard, and in front of him was a blazing fire.Not far from her, there was an old man sitting. His beard had already turned white. Even among the long-lived Sun people, he was considered to have lived for a long time. A piece of jasper that had been polished to a very moist state, was talking to Lin Chi with a majestic expression.

The old man is the left chancellor of the court. So far, he has experienced three emperors. In this court, he has been edited by a small Hanlin until he is now a high-ranking assistant minister. His face was originally delicate and handsome. It also made it into the wrinkled appearance it is now.

"His Highness has been away from the palace for more than seven years. Over the years, every time I think of His Highness living in a foreign country with no one to rely on, I feel a little sad in my heart, and I miss His Highness very much. Now that His Highness has returned to Yaori, the old minister is relieved. "The old man carefully looked at his granddaughter whom he hadn't seen for many years. After seeing her rosy cheeks and her good spirit, he let go of his heart that had been hanging.

Since the marshal has announced the news of Lin Chi's return to the palace, those who are close to Lin Chi can naturally enter the palace to meet His Highness according to the rules.Originally, he and Liu Yuan thought of many ways, but they couldn't break through the strict guards of the palace without a sound. After Lin Chi came back these days, let alone hooking up with Lin Chi, they didn't even know whether that person was Lin Chi or not. Not entirely sure.Just when he was getting angry, the marshal suddenly threw out the news, Prime Minister Zuo was naturally overjoyed, he is Lin Chi's grandfather, and he is also the closest person to Lin Chi besides the marshal and the little emperor, so he is naturally qualified to enter the palace To visit His Highness.

Immediately, he handed over the post to the palace, and sure enough, it didn't take long before the palace approved it, which led to today's brief meeting.

The courtyard was empty, and the palace people were sent far away. The intelligent system brought by Prime Minister Zuo also checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no surveillance equipment. Therefore, he did not deliberately lower his voice, but spoke very naturally. Talking to Lin Chi.

"Yeah, in a blink of an eye, I have been away from Yaori for so many years. Today, I saw that grandpa is still in the same healthy spirit, so I am relieved. I am in Lian, I have not suffered much outside, and Zhou Jin did not make things difficult for me. My coming back this time is actually voluntary, and grandpa doesn’t have to worry about me.” The camphor tree in the courtyard grew very tall, and its dense canopy almost covered half of the sky. Lin Chi sat under the shadow of the tree, smiling and The left side speaks.She has been pregnant for more than a month, and she can't see anything on the surface, but her spirit has changed a lot before, maybe because of the gradual recovery of motherhood, she always has a faint smile now, and her eyes are endless The gentleness, only occasionally, will reveal some of the courage and perseverance experienced in the federation.

When she escaped from the palace that year, Lord Liu Yuanliu, General Sun Qiansun and another adult, as well as her grandfather, Lord Zuo Xiang, all made great efforts, and they all risked the crime of implicating the nine clans. helping her.She is very clear in her heart, and she has found many ways to find out about her grandfather after she came back. She dare not find out the recent situation of the other ministers. Zhou Jin is too sensitive. As long as she shows a little concern, Zhou Jin can guess * She is close to ten, so although she is worried about it, she can only ask Zhou Jin about her grandfather.

It's not surprising that the granddaughter cares about her grandfather. Besides, she already suspected that Zhou Jin knew that her grandfather was also involved in that matter back then, but Zhou Jin just pretended not to know.

When she learned of her grandfather's current official position, she knew that Zhou Jin probably didn't think about doing a closer look at what happened back then.

This is what she owes Zhou Jin again.

"Your Highness is well, the old minister is at ease. Your Highness returns to the palace this time, do you have any plans in the future? The power of the left and right families is still there, just let the old minister know if there is anything to do, and the old minister will definitely take care of it for His Highness." The face of Zuo Xiang showed a relaxed look At first, he thought that Lin Chi was forcibly captured by the marshal, but after the marshal directly announced the news of Lin Chi's return to the palace, he couldn't see through the marshal again.When I entered the palace today, my granddaughter didn't seem to have suffered any grievances. Thinking of the marshal's dedication to Yao Ri these years, he sighed in his heart.

Back then, he lost a lot of sanity due to the pain of losing his daughter, and Liu Yuan kept telling him how oppressive His Highness was in the palace, and he also wholeheartedly thought that the Marshal really wanted to usurp the throne. Together with several ministers who are extremely loyal to the royal family, Lin Chi was rescued from the palace, and sent far away to the spaceship bound for the Federation.But in these years, not only did the marshal not change the dynasty as they expected, he was even willing to devote himself to a baby who was still in his infancy.For many years, seeing the marshal forgetting to eat and sleep for Sunday, and to go to the Federation for Sunday, but always looking lonely, he has regretted it a long time ago. He even secretly sent someone to the Federation to find Lin Chi, hoping to find his granddaughter. Come back, let her also see the marshal's candor.But none of the people sent could find out Lin Chi's whereabouts, and very few of them could return safely. As time passed, he gave up this idea.

Now, in his lifetime, he can still see Lin Chi returning to the sun, which makes him almost go to the ancestral temple to offer incense and say a word of ancestor blessing!

"Grandpa, are Master Liu and the others alright?" Lin Chi naturally wanted to ask Prime Minister Zuo something.

"Master Xu took care of everything that happened back then. The Marshal punished his family to go mining at Mine Star, but he didn't take their lives. This is already very kind. By the way, Your Highness, those who went to mine did not include Master Xu's family. The Marshal has promulgated a new policy over the years. The untouchables are no longer passed down from generation to generation. Although criminals who have committed crimes still need to go to the mine star to mine, their children will no longer be treated unfairly as before. ” Zuo Xiang naturally took care of Mr. Xu’s family from time to time in these years, and when he mentioned them at this time, there was no sadness on his face.

Lin Chi cheered up. She had long thought that the empire's system was very bad, but she never thought that Zhou Jin could really abolish it.

"Is that so, do the ministers have no objections?"

"At first, the ministers were all against it, especially the lord's family who strongly refused to recognize this reform, but the marshal is a marshal after all, and the new decree was implemented on all planets within half a year, and the voice of opposition gradually became inaudible. Arrived. It is very complicated to explain in detail. If His Highness is interested, the old minister will send someone to send some materials to His Highness in two days." Even family visits have a specified time, although these can be completely ignored given Lin Chi's popularity, But Prime Minister Zuo has always been rigorous in his work, and he didn't want to give anyone any excuses. At this time, he had already talked for a long time, and he stopped in time.

"Grandpa, there is one more thing Chi'er wants to ask you."

Seeing that the old man already wanted to leave, Lin Chi looked at the empty courtyard with a trace of determination on his face.

"Over the years, have you continued to investigate what happened back then? If so, did you find anything?" She asked hopelessly. If grandpa found something over the years, it would probably be the first time we met. It's time to find a way to tell her. At this time, I talked for a long time, but I didn't talk about that matter. I think I have no idea.

The left minister was startled, stroked his white beard, and said seriously: "Your Highness, is he still thinking about the past? The old minister thought you were willing to come back, so you must have put it down." After seeing Lin Chi in good health, he relaxed a little. The heart was picked up again, and the old man's expression became serious.

"It's impossible to simply let go of this kind of thing. Grandpa, there must be something hidden about what happened back then. I'm sure of this. Now I want to find out the truth behind it, and find out what Zhou Jin did back then. The reason. She, she is not fond of fighting, nor greedy for power, but I think it is strange that she suddenly did that kind of thing back then."

"This veteran has already thought about it. Over the years, when I think of that incident, I feel very puzzled. Judging from the ending, it is really unnecessary for the Marshal to do that. Since she did not usurp the throne, she also attacked the royal family. , which is really puzzling.”

Prime Minister Zuo said slowly, he had doubts in his heart all these years, but he didn't dare to investigate in private.

He already had a vague guess in his mind, it must have something to do with his daughter who died young.In fact, no one dared to discuss that incident back then. Everyone had no evidence, so they could only assume that the former emperor and empress were assassinated by the rebel army. But in private, naturally not many people think so.Together with the former emperor and empress, the marshal almost slaughtered half of the royal family. This is the truth in many people's hearts. However, in these years, he discovered that the power that the empress had painstakingly managed in the past had completely fallen into the marshal's hands. Judging from the loyalty of the marshal, they are all willing.

This is too suspicious.

Prime Minister Zuo knew his daughter very well. She seemed weak, but her ability to control people was the best. Those who came out of her sex would rather die with their master than betray him.So the sudden one-sidedness of these people, does it really show that the incident back then was not as simple as it appeared on the surface?

Zuo Xiang only dared to think about these things in his heart. The matter involved his daughter and the mother of a country. No matter what the truth was, as long as the sun is good now, that's fine.

He thought so, but His Highness didn't seem to think so, which was really troublesome.

He is old and has climbed high enough. At his age, he will always become a little cowardly. He just wants to see his children and grandchildren be safe and live happily for a lifetime. He is afraid.

This is very troublesome.
