Chapter 670: Chapter 668: The Second Imperial Princess Intends to Rebel_1
Old Master already knew, so Lin Qingluo no longer hid anything, starting from receiving the secret report from Noble Lord, knowing that the Second Imperial Princess intended to rebel, secretly purchasing a large number of weapons, to defeating the three barbarian warriors.
She explained the whole ins and outs of the incident clearly and in great detail.
“The Second Imperial Princess intends to rebel?”
Duke of Zhen and Lin Xiaoyang changed their expressions at the word “rebellion”, and both pairs of eyes focused on Old Master simultaneously.
“Is Noble Lord’s secret report reliable?”
Old Master’s muddy old eyes revealed sharp light, and the aura of the war veteran instantly transformed, awe-inspiring without being angry, not to be underestimated.
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows lightly furrowed: “Noble Lord has always been at odds with several princesses and secretly monitored their every move, so at least 80% of the information she obtained can be believed.”
Old Master’s eyebrows darkened: “Xiaoyang, this matter is entrusted to you. Send someone to monitor the Second Imperial Princess immediately and gather evidence of her collusion with foreign nations and intention to rebel.”
“Yes, grandson shall send someone to investigate.”
Lin Xiaoyang’s expression was solemn, respectfully accepting the command.
“Send a message to my fourth son, tell him to be prepared in advance.”
Old Master nodded satisfied, and gave a low order to Duke of Zhen: “If there is any unusual movement in the western border, deploy troops in time, assist the western defenders, to prevent the invasion of the barbarian tribe.”
“Father.”
Duke of Zhen had concerns: “His Majesty is suspicious of Lin Clan’s army, it may not be appropriate to deploy troops privately. It is better to let Xiaoyang gather the evidence first and watch the situation.”
“Alright, let’s do as you say.”
Upon hearing this, Old Master’s heart ached, and a tired expression appeared between his eyebrows.
“Grandpa, leave this matter to Father, and you can rest assured.”
Lin Qingluo had a nimble mind and couldn’t bear to see Old Master feeling sad, so she softly comforted him.
“Old General Li from the General’s Mansion of the Western Expeditionary Army is your close friend. After Father has settled this matter, I will secretly inform Old General Li, and he will notify the western defenders so that they can be prepared in advance.”
“Qingluo is right.”
Duke of Zhen was relieved by his granddaughter’s careful thoughts, and followed suit: “With many years of friendship between you and Old General Li, he will surely believe the evidence collected by Xiaoyang.”
“He has been guarding the western border for many years, and his prestige in the border army is quite high. Even though he has already retired, the news delivered to him specifically will still attract the attention of the border army.”
“Alright, let’s do it this way.”
Under the comfort of his filial son and virtuous grandson, Old Master’s mood improved slightly, and he reluctantly agreed.
Lin Qingluo’s smile was warm: “Grandpa, you’re tired, go back to your room to rest first, Qingluo will help you in.”
“There’s no need, you all have important matters to attend to, so go ahead and don’t concern yourselves with me.”
Tiredly waving his hand, Old Master closed his eyes again, lying in the sun for a nap.
Duke of Zhen sadly stood up: “You have a good rest, Father. I will come see you tomorrow.”
Lin Xiaoyang looked ashamed: “Old Master, it’s really inappropriate for grandson to bother you while you were enjoying your humming. I’ll leave now, and you can continue…”
“Humph.”
Old Master snorted through his nostrils, his eyelids twitching a few times, suppressing the urge to stare at him.
“Ai, ai.”
Duke of Zhen glanced at his inconsiderate foolish son and waved him away irritably: “Go on, don’t stand here, go back and do your proper business.”
Grandpa holded his breath, how could he be in the mood to hum tunes.
Lin Qingluo saw it clearly, her eyes drooping, hiding the fleeting helplessness in her eyes.
“Ahem, ahem.”
Lin Xiaoyang felt like he’s being disliked again, coughed awkwardly twice, pulled at his precious daughter’s sleeve, secretly giving her a glance, indicating for the father and daughter to leave together.
