“Coincidentally, I overheard his conversation with his companion.”
Little Kingfisher rarely showed humility: “That man is He Yao, the heir of the Grand Marquis’ mansion. The Grand Marquis and the Duke of Zhen’s families have a longstanding friendship, and He Yao grew up with Lin Jinyu since childhood, with deep connections.”
“Does He Yao know the inside story?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “It seems that their friendship is indeed extraordinary, as even such a secretive matter can be openly discussed.”
“Lin Jinyu’s entry into the Imperial Guards has something to do with He Yao.”
Little Kingfisher agreed wholeheartedly: “He Yao’s sister is a Female Official in the Imperial Court, attending to the Empress and often walking inside the palace.”
“Not long ago, her sister passed a message from the palace, saying that the Noble Lord appreciates Lin Jinyu very much, didn’t want to see his talents buried, and intended to help him get a position in the Imperial Guards.”
“The Noble Lord? Which Noble Lord? How many husbands does the Empress have?” 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com
Su Qingluo found it hard to believe when she first heard the two words “Noble Lord”.
Little Kingfisher couldn’t help but laugh: “Apart from Xuan’er’s father, who else has such a favored status in front of the Empress to help your big brother?”
“Really Xuan’er’s father? Would he be so kind-hearted? Could there be a hidden motive?”
Su Qingluo thought of the Noble Lord’s Innate Charm, which could bewitch people’s hearts, and had no good impression of him.
Little Kingfisher shared her thoughts: “Perhaps he intends to win over the Duke of Zhen’s family, by showing favor to Lin Jinyu, and using the Lin Clan’s army for his own purposes.”
“His ambition is not small!”
Su Qingluo frowned: “The Empress, bewitched by his charm, entrusts him with power and he can’t get enough of it. He even wants to extend his reach into the military. If he succeeds, the lifeline of Fengqi would fall into his hands.”
“Exactly.”
Little Kingfisher agreed wholeheartedly: “The Empress is muddle-headed and indulges in lust, allowing the Noble Lord to act recklessly; sooner or later, she will taste the bitter fruit.”
Su Qingluo sighed sadly: “The Duke of Zhen’s family has been loyal for generations, protecting the family and the Wei Kingdom. If it weren’t for the Empress’s suspicion, the Lin Clan’s legitimate eldest grandson would not need the help of others to secure an official position.”
“Big brother accepted He Yao’s sister’s kindness, joined the Imperial Guards, and now the Lin Clan owes the Grand Marquis’ family a favor, which will naturally need to be repaid.”
Little Kingfisher secretly thought that by joining the Imperial Guards, the Lin Clan not only owed the Grand Marquis’ family a favor, but also owed the Noble Lord one, and it was unknown how to repay it in the future.
If the Noble Lord used this to force the Lin Clan’s army to obey him, how would the Duke of Zhen’s family respond?
Seeing her little master frown with worry, it hesitated for a moment before deciding not to say anything.
“Master, look, that person is Lin Jinyu….”
As the two worried, two Imperial Guards walked side by side from the direction of the Martial Arts Arena.
The young man on the right held a long sword, his figure straight, and his eyes clear and bright. He walked briskly under the bright moonlight, making a striking impression.
He was her own brother with the same mother.
Su Qingluo’s heartbeat sped up, looking up, only to see their remarkable resemblance in the young man’s handsome face.
She and her brother looked quite alike!
With sharp senses, Lin Jinyu seemed to perceive someone watching, and he paused, instinctively looking towards the shadow under the eaves.
Su Qingluo held her breath, made a stealth sign with her right hand, and her petite figure blended into the dark night.
“Jinyu, what’s wrong? Did you find anything?”
He Yao was alarmed, gripping his sword tightly and looking around.
“Meow.”
A black cat darted out from the shadows and ran towards the rockery on the opposite side.
“Just a cat, a false alarm.”
Lin Jinyu’s eyes flashed, and he pretended to smile casually.
