The palace has four gates. Lin Chujiu was trapped in the south gate at this time, and the palace officials were entering in the north gate. They were not on the same in the same place at all.
The palace officials, who were coming for the morning meeting passed by the gate one after another. Many of them looked at the south gate along the way, while smiling with sarcasm. Obviously, these people know what happened in Xiao Wangfu yesterday. They also know that Lin Chujiu was refused to enter the palace.
Especially when Lin Xiang came in, several ministers with him impolitely joke around: "Prime Minister Lin a tiger father gave birth to dog daughter!"
"Prime Minister Lin, you really taught your daughter well… …" Several old ministers couldn't help but shook their heads and sympathized with him.
If they can get along with Lin Xiang, their official rank might not stay low. However, even if Lin Xiang has power, most of the palace officials today didn't put him in the eyes. They were not polite to him all.
When Lin Xiang heard those words, he was so irritated but couldn't refute. He could only harden his face and think like it was nothing.
His official position has a big gap with these people. He can't be bothered with it.
Before, because of his granddaughter's issue, Right Prime Minister You was degraded by Lin Xiang. So now that he saw this opportunity, he doesn't want to miss it: "Prime Minister Lin, I heard that your youngest daughter doesn't want to get married. You have to persuade Xiao Wangfei as to not hinder your daughter's future."
Right Prime Minister You said. He means to say that Lin Chujiu was so arrogant that Lin Wanting dare not to refute her.
Lin Xiang doesn't really want to talk about this issue, but someone people simply can't ignore it. If his official position was lower than him, he can simply disregard him, but Right Prime Minister You was different. The two of them have an equal position. They always argue at ordinary times. If people saw that he doesn't fight back, they might think he is afraid of him.
Lin Xiang stopped his footsteps and looked at Right Prime Minister You. Then, he said with a serious face: "Prime Minister You, Xiao Wangfei is an imperial princess, and I am nothing but a minister. What do you think Xiao Wangfei's identity? The emperor didn't say that Xiao Wangfei was wrong, when is it your turn to say a word about it? Prime Minister You, if you want to intervene in this thing of heaven, do as you please. This minister will not stop you."
Lin Xiang shamelessly used Lin Chujiu's identity. He said that Lin Chujiu was Xiao Wangfei, so he couldn't manage her, and he doesn't dare to control her.
After that, Lin Xiang didn't give Right Prime Minister You a chance to speak again. He waved his sleeve and left Right Prime Minister You standing in the same place.
However, this quarrel didn't affect the progress of the morning meeting. When everyone entered the main hall, the meeting has began not long after… …
*
Even after the morning meeting began, Lin Chujiu was still surrounded by the imperial guards. She couldn't go anywhere. Since the beginning, Lin Chujiu didn't say anything, she stayed inside the carriage, but the imperial guards don't believe in it.
"Xiao Wangfei deliberately fooling us, we must be careful."
"Xiao Wangfei must be playing a trick, everyone pays attention."
"Listen, no matter what Xiao Wangfei wants to do, stop her. Don't let her go to the main hall and interrupt the meeting."
The imperial guards kept exchanging look in the eyes. Even if Lin Chujiu didn't make a move, they treat her as an enemy.
They firmly believe that as long as Lin Chujiu was here, they can't be safe!
This fact was true. After half an hour, Lin Chujiu's voice came out of the carriage: "Let's go!"
"Yes." The coachman simply answered. Xiao Wangfu's guardsmen immediately stepped forward and pointed their spear on the imperial guards: "Make way!"
"The emperor gave an order, you can't leave." When the imperial guards saw Lin Chujiu make a move, they didn't get surprised at all.
They will be more surprised if Lin Chujiu will not make a move.
"Can't leave? I can't go back to Xiao Wangfu?" Lin Chujiu's voice came out of the carriage again. Her voice was light gentle, but the imperial guard still didn't dare to be careless. An imperial guard said: "Xiao Wangfei, didn't you come to the palace to ask forgiveness for your sin? The emperor didn't say that you can leave, so you can only wait here."
"I came to ask forgiveness yesterday, but after thinking about it last night, I found out that something was wrong. I shouldn't have come to apologize." Lin Chujiu said while opening the door and walking down the carriage with the help of the maidservant.
Lin Chujiu clearly just walked down the carriage and didn't do anything else, but the imperial guards were so scared and stepped back further: "Xiao, Xiao Wangfei… …"
Lin Chujiu didn't seem to have seen the fear in the imperial guard's eyes. She said with a soft voice: "People died in my Xiao Wangfu, I should have come to Dali Temple to report this matter. I don't know if you can let us pass and let me go to the Dali Temple."
"Wha, what?" The Imperial guard got confused, what does the Dali Temple had to do with this?
Lin Chujiu didn't answer, she only said: "The emperor presumably didn't order you to stop me from going to the Dali Temple. So please, make way."
"No, there is no order from the emperor. You can't leave Xiao Wangfei." The Imperial Guard harden his scalp.
They don't know what Lin Chujiu was trying to do. So to be sure, they better trap Lin Chujiu here and wait for the emperor's next order.
"I can't leave, but the people around me can leave, right?" Lin Chujiu looked at the maidservant on her side. She didn't wait for the imperial guard's answer, she directly said to Feicui: "Under the name of Wangye, go to Dali Temple."
The imperial guard was dumbfounded, they really don't know how to deal with this.
The messenger only said that they shouldn't let Lin Chujiu cause trouble. But now, it was about going to the Dali Temple, what should they do?
Without waiting for the imperial guards to make a decision, Feicui bowed her head to leave. However, seeing the imperial guard didn't make a way, Feicui looked back at Lin Chujiu: "Wangfei."
"Several of you, escort Feicui to the Dali Temple." Lin Chujiu pointed her finger to the six Xiao Wangfu's guards. The six Xiao Wangfu's guardsmen immediately stood around Feicui.
"You, make way, don't force us to take a shot." Xiao Wangfu's guard was as arrogant as their Wangye. The imperial guards were annoyed and angry, but they didn't dare to fight.
Xiao Wangfu's guardsmen were on a different level. They may not be able to fight back if there were several of them, but if their number lessen?
When Lin Chujiu saw that the imperial guards didn't move away, she added to say: "The emperor refused to let me go, but didn't say that my maidservant can't leave. If they can't leave, what will I eat? What will I drink?"
"This…" The imperial guard didn't want to let Xiao Wangfu's people go. But when he heard Lin Chujiu's words, he hesitated for a bit, but then said: "As long as Xiao Wangfei will not leave, other can."
After six Xiao Wangfu's guardsmen leave, only one-third left at this moment. This number was very small, so the imperial guards felt relieved. They should no longer fear Xiao Wangfu, but… …
Lin Chujiu didn't utter another word, she turned around and sat back in the carriage, making the imperial guards feel at lost.
Today, the morning court was just like the other day. There was no major event. There were only small matters, so only a few ministers came forward to report, then they briefly discussed it. In the end, they let the emperor decide.
Everyone reported in an orderly manner. As if there was no major event. In fact, the people present were all absent-minded, their mind kept thinking about Lin Chujiu, who was in the south gate. They wanted to know what she will do, but… …
Lin Chujiu didn't make any move, however, there is a much more major event… …
