Chapter 322 Sacrifice
March · Linhua County

At this time in Linhua County, although the flowers are not blooming in spring, the ice has melted and the snow has melted. Along the way, the branches have become green, and the wind is blowing, and it is also slightly cold and warm at the same time.

This is the time to dress indiscriminately. Some people are afraid of the cold and still wear winter clothes, while others have changed into thinner spring clothes, walking with a style of their own.

Bullocks and carts keep coming and going. Compared with the capital, Linhua County is naturally one in the sky and the other in the ground, but it is also a county seat. When some prefectures and counties in Guangling Province were flooded last year, there was no problem here, and some people thought it was livable. It was even more lively than last year.

"Godfather, this is Linhua County."

Following Yu Han out of the palace all the way to Linhua County, there are two young eunuchs, who have already worshiped their godfather, the three of them traveled all the way, disguised and did not dare to speak out.

King Qi and King Shu are the most powerful, while King Lu is weak, and his mother and concubine are just Zhaoyi, but since they have been crowned kings, they should not be underestimated. Harm, but according to the rules of Dazheng, when one leaves the palace at the age of 15, one is usually given a mansion to be a duke of the state, and when one is older, one can be crowned king depending on one's status and favor.

As the concubine of the empress, Yu Han naturally didn't want to make troubles.

Xing Niangniang has been guarding the palace for the past 17 years, and has almost never had contact with outsiders except for the need for the empress to come forward. The empress has long since lost family support. Although the concubines in the palace are dissatisfied with her occupying the back seat, they are gone. He has no son, no grandson, just a puppet that the emperor may intend to hide his ugliness, not worthy of much attention.

Only in this way can people leave the palace easily.

Opening the curtain of the car, a little emotion was revealed on the old-fashioned fair skin.

"This is Linhua County." Yu Han sighed softly, "It wasn't like this in the past."

"Godfather ever came?"

This time it was not Yu Sui who was driving the cart ahead, but Yu Guo who was sitting in the bullock cart with Yu Han.

Yu Han smiled with a little nostalgia: "It happened many years ago, and I used to pass by here."

Then I refused to say any more, just looking at this ordinary small county town, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Although this is not a real rural place, but the grandson's status is so noble. If it weren't for the disaster in the past, he would be the top noble now. He needs to be surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs when he goes in and out. It is very likely that he would never come here in his life.

But when he thought of the three-year-old grandson who died in the incident, he felt lucky afterwards.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a very ordinary small county far away from the capital, how could it have successfully hidden the grandson for nearly 17 years?

Thinking about it this way, I felt a good impression of this place.

"Godfather, seeing that it's getting dark, let's find an inn to live in first. I'll go find out where Mr. Ye's grave is, and I'll go to sacrifice tomorrow morning."

It's not appropriate to go to worship in the dark.

Yu Han nodded: "That's it, go there tomorrow morning."

With these two smart godsons accompanying him, Yu Han didn't worry about these trivial matters.

When the ox cart arrived and stopped for a while, the matter of staying in the Linhua County Inn was settled properly.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary gentleman with a little wealth passing by the county with two young servants. He looks ordinary and does not attract the curiosity and attention of others at all.

After dinner, the two young eunuchs Yu Sui and Yu Guo had already inquired about the matter clearly.

"Godfather, I have already asked clearly. Mr. Ye was buried in a cemetery outside the city. There is a hill nearby, and there is a temple not far away. When we leave the city by then, go straight ahead and you will see the temple." , turn around and look for it, and you will find Mr. Ye’s grave.”

After hearing this, Yu Han nodded: "Rest first, and leave the city tomorrow morning."

There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, he drove the ox cart out of the city.

Sure enough, the journey was not too far, and there were hills in the distance, and a Buddhist temple after walking.

Since it was not difficult to find Ye Weihan's grave, he drove over without alarming anyone.

When the time arrived, the sun had just risen, the breeze was blowing in the morning, and the lush green environment made people feel good.

"It's an auspicious place." Even if he doesn't know much about Fengshui, Yu Han has some insight. At least this place gives people a good feeling. Ordinary people will envy those who can be buried here in a hundred years.

The grandson is a son-in-law, so he chose such a place for Ye Weihan, it can be seen that this is intentional, and not far away, he saw the tombstone.

This is a tomb made of bricks and stones. There is a stone tablet that simply says Ye Weihan's Tomb, and the names of Ye Buhui and Su Ziji are on it.

Ye Weihan was buried here, the three of them exchanged glances and moved forward, but they were silent.

"Ye Weihan's original name was Ye Du. He was born in a family of officials. He was the second son of Ye Duncheng, the minister of rites.

"Only Ye Du disappeared, and the court has tracked him down, but he just thought he was fleeing in fear of crime, and he counted all the important people, so forget it."

"How do you think about it? She changed her name and fled with the crown prince. No one knows that she is pregnant."

"Now it's finally left for the crown prince."

Yu Han thought silently, full of emotions, now with the reverse deduction, it is natural to find out that this woman is Shen Yiyuan, who was originally the daughter of an official, and was given to the prince because of her father's crimes as an official prostitute. , and did not enter the Prince's Mansion, but escaped from sight if he didn't want to.

With her, there will be Su Ziji, the empress. Finally, she has something to look forward to. She took a breath and said slowly, "Take it out!"

The three of them came in secret, and although they did not notify the local government, they carried the Queen's order with them.

The three stopped in front of the grave, and Yu Han arranged the cakes, wine, meat, and fruits that he had bought in advance one by one.

It is said to be Yizhi, but it is actually rice paper stamped with a phoenix seal, with the empress's own words of thanks.

After reading it, something suddenly seemed to be different. Yu Han took the wine glass again, poured the wine, and sprinkled it on the open space in front of the grave.

"Mr. Ye, you should be clear that although the great-grandson concealed your name and preserved it, it also means that the great-grandson has not yet been listed in the genealogy and is not yet a member of the royal family."

"So the grandson's first step is to restore Ji's surname, Lie Yu spy."

"As long as the emperor admits this, he is the only son of the crown prince, the grandson of the crown prince, and his name is justified, so there will naturally be people who will take refuge in him."

"The first step is the most difficult. I hope you are alive in heaven. Please bless your grandson to successfully pass the Jinshi exam this time, so that you can proceed to the next step."

"This is the queen's wish, it is also my wish, and it is the crown prince's wish."

"I can't stay here for long, so I have to drink three glasses of wine to pay respect to your loyalty!"

After speaking, he poured wine again, sprinkled it again, and poured three cups in a row, Yu Han said to the two young eunuchs: "Let's go, we have made up our minds, now we will see if the grandson is up to date."
