"The key is to figure out their purpose for smuggling saltpetre into the city," Lin Yanyan said.
"Next month is the Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday, and at that time, my father the emperor will personally visit the imperial temple, Tianning Temple, to pray for the Empress Dowager. Therefore, Tianning Temple and some sections of the route are currently undergoing renovation. I believe the northern barbarians may have come for this reason. Saltpetre is the main ingredient for making gunpowder, and so much saltpetre is enough to blow up Tianning Temple. The Ministry of Works is responsible for this renovation, and I have already ordered someone to secretly investigate. So far, there are no results."
"If the Northern Barbarians are truly plotting this, there must be insiders within the court." Lin Yanyan felt heavy-hearted.
A formidable enemy is not frightening; what's frightening is when our own people are not united.
"Therefore, we must uncover the insider and determine the location where the saltpeter is hidden before the Empress Dowager's birthday."
陆昭南感慨：“时间紧迫，要想把北狄细作一锅端，再揪出内应之人，难呐！”
林晏晏沉吟道：“再难也要查，你们两负责查北狄细作和内应，硝石埋藏之处交给我。”
Seeing off Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan, Lin Yannan hurriedly changed into men's clothing and went out.
She had promised Uncle Hu to help at the medical hall today, but little did she know that the Qin family would come knocking at the door, causing a delay. Uncle Hu might be unhappy about this.
御书房里，皇上听完曹全回禀，怒不可遏：“晋国公府这是要造反吗？”
The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall couldn't help but tremble, lowering their heads even further.
曹全眼观鼻鼻观心，他只负责如实上报，至于皇上如何裁断，不是他一个奴才可以置喙的。
“晋国公府对皇命阳奉阴违已是大不敬，居然还敢在京中，众目睽睽之下动用侍卫到朝臣家中行凶以泄私愤，惹得天怒人冤，如此猖狂，他当这天下是他姓朱的？”
"Cao Quan, bring the Duke of Jin and the Minister of State to see me."
“Got it!”
"Let Deputy Minister Lin go back and comfort his family properly."
Cao Quan hesitated for a moment: "Yes..."
曹全出了御书房，就看见晋国公和参知政事朱光启以及林侍郎都跪在那。
晋国公和长子朱光启脸色煞白，应该是听到了皇上的怒吼。
After all, the label of rebellion is not something anyone can bear.
"Lord Lin, the emperor orders you to return home and console your family." Got it!
Lin Zhongkun kowtowed deeply and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your benevolence."
Lin Zhongkun stood up after three bows, ready to leave, when Zhu Guangqi called him back.
"Mr. Lin, I was just informed of this matter and deeply regretful. Please convey my apologies to Lady Lin. Later, I will personally visit to apologize." Zhu Guangqi held the official position of a Second Class Grand Secretary of State, one rank higher than a Third Class Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and in the past, Lin Zhongkun had to show great respect to him. However, today he had to humble himself as the Emperor was extremely angry. The Zhu family could only hope for the Lin family's forgiveness in order to receive a reduced penalty.
Lin Zhongkun was somewhat surprised by Zhu Guangqi's humility and quickly bowed, saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, just let me explain."
Cao Quan, observing this, couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous of Lin Zhongkun.
Lin Zhongkun is known as the representative of the clean stream in the court, but he lacks the demeanor of a literary official, and is not even as courageous as his grandniece Kangping County Princess.
Cao Quan couldn't help but think, if Ding'an Marquis was still here, Zhu Guangqi would probably have been beaten into a pig's head by now!
Lin Yannan arrived at the Huimin Clinic and first apologized to Hu Guangzhi: "Dr. Hu, there have been some changes in my family, and I arrived late. I will start working right away."
Hu Guangzhi had a sour expression on his face: "You won't leave until you finish treating the patients."
"Yes, the student promises to complete the task."
"You choose a good day to formally become my disciple. I'm very busy and don't have time for these tricks."
"Huh?" Lin Yannan thought she misunderstood something.
"What? If you don't want to become my apprentice, then just get lost," Hu Guangzhi replied angrily.
林晏晏这才会过意来，笑道：“是，学生回去便翻黄历，择吉日。”
还以为今天是个倒霉日子呢，没想到是个黄道吉日，胡伯伯终于答应收她为徒了，可喜可贺。
林晏晏欢欣鼓舞干劲十足，花了不到两个时辰把病人都看完，惦记着家里的事情，便厚着脸皮去跟胡伯伯请假。
"Since everything is handled, just leave now and remember to come early tomorrow." Although Hu Guangzhi has a bad temper and is difficult to approach, since he has decided to accept Zhen Tianan as his disciple, he treats Zhen Tianan as his own. In fact, he really wants to ask Zhen Tianan what happened in his family. But since Zhen Tianan doesn't say anything, he doesn't feel comfortable asking, and even if he knew, he might not be able to help.
Lin Yannan returned to Moyaun Ge. Jin Xin informed her that someone from the Zhu family had arrived, and it was said that they came to apologize. Currently, Er Lao Ye, San Lao Ye, and the head of the Zhu family are in the flower hall discussing matters. Translation: Lin Yannan returned to Moyaun Ge. Jin Xin informed her that someone from the Zhu family had arrived and it seemed they came to apologize. At the moment, Master Er, Master San, and the head of the Zhu family are having a meeting in the flower hall.
Lin Yannan changed her clothes and immediately went to the flower hall, where she ran into Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi pulled Lin Yannan to the side to talk.
"Yannan, I am so angry. Your second uncle said that resolving conflicts is better than seeking legal action. The fact that the Zhu family is willing to come and apologize shows their sincerity. Let's forget about the compensation."
Lin Yannan was extremely angry. She had put in a lot of effort to arrange this plan, aiming to teach the Zhu family a lesson, make them lose face and suffer losses. She also wanted to let everyone know that even without the Duke of Ding'an, the Ding'an Marquis Mansion was not a place where anyone could bully.
Second Uncle is really spineless. If he continues to act like this, the Ding'an Marquis Mansion will lose face.
"Third Aunt, where are the account books?"
"Here they are." Zhou Shi took out a small booklet from her pocket.
"Give it to me, I'll go." Lin Yannan took the account book and walked towards the flower hall.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shi followed suit. This matter cannot be borne by Yannan alone.
In the flower hall, there was a harmonious atmosphere. Lin Zhongkun and Zhu Guangqi were happily chatting, as if the previous unpleasantness had nothing to do with them, as if it was happening in someone else's home.
Lin Yannan stood at the door, took a deep breath, raised a smiling face, and walked in cheerfully.
"Niece has greeted Second Uncle and Third Uncle."
"Yannan, come and greet your Uncle Zhu." Lin Zhongkun said in a gentle tone.
Lin Yannan obediently kneeled down and greeted Uncle Zhu with a curtsy: "Yannan has met Uncle Zhu."
Zhu Guangqi had already learned from Qin Shi that Lin Yannan was a sharp-tongued and difficult girl.
"Last time I saw Yan Yan was at Boyan's funeral, and now three years have passed. Yan Yan has grown into a young lady," Zhu Guangqi sighed, while feeling cautious in his heart. Translated: "Last time I saw Yan Yan was at Boyan's funeral, and now three years have passed. Yan Yan has grown into a young lady," Zhu Guangqi sighed, while feeling cautious in his heart.
Lin Yanyan still remembers when her father was alive, he would often have a great time drinking and chatting with Uncle Zhu. They got along so well that both families agreed to a marriage between them. But after my father passed away, I never expected that the planned marriage would fall through. Today, Auntie Zhu even led an army and almost attacked the Marquis's mansion. Sigh... It really is true that when people are gone, relationships can fade away and things can change...
朱光启嘴角抽搐，这个林晏晏果然不是善茬，还揪着早间的事儿不放。
