Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 316 Secret Agent

"grandfather."

Lin Su, the eldest grandson of Tong Hou Lin Jingsheng and the future consort of the eldest princess, was wearing a lilac-colored robe that made his appearance even more handsome, but at this moment, there was a hint of worry on his brow.

Lin Su sat beside the bed with a bowl of warm medicine in his hand. He stirred the bowl gently with a spoon. He scooped up the dark medicine and brought it to his grandfather Lin Jingsheng's mouth.

Lin Jingsheng took a sip, waved his hand, and told Lin Su to put the medicine bowl aside.

"Is your father hiding something from me?" He frowned and stared at his grandson, fearing that his grandson was also involved in his father Lin Qingang's mess.

Lin Su nodded without thinking.

From childhood to adulthood, his father did so many things without telling his grandfather, but in his opinion, they were all boring little things. His father even specifically ordered and warned him not to tell his grandfather, which was really unnecessary.

Lin Su promised his father Lin Qingang that he would not tell his grandfather on his own initiative, but if his grandfather asked, it would not be considered as him telling him on his own initiative.

Although Lin Su was not sure which year and which incident his grandfather was referring to when he said his father was hiding something from him, it did not stop him from nodding in agreement.

They have an old tradition of the Lin family in Tonghou Mansion. The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is closer than that between fathers and sons.

The old Thonghou Lin Yangguang and his grandson Lin Qingang, who died a few years after Your Majesty ascended the throne, and the current grandson and grandson, Thonghou Lin Jingsheng and Lin Su.

This is all because the eldest grandson is raised by his grandfather, the head of the family.

"The day before yesterday, His Majesty came to chat with me about family matters. When I was about to leave, His Majesty suddenly called me." Tong Hou Lin Jingsheng's hands trembled slightly.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty asked me, if an official secretly raises spies to monitor other court officials and colleagues, what crime should he be punished for?"

"Your Majesty never shoots without a purpose."

"Your second uncle, Qingyu, is highly valued by His Majesty, but I have never come into contact with these things. Only your father can be your father."

Lin Jingsheng picked up the bitter medicine beside him and took a sip, tasting it carefully. It seemed that the bitter taste in his mouth could make him calmer.

Lin Su frowned. This matter was too big. If they were not careful, the entire Lin family would be finished.

However, Your Majesty did not cancel his marriage with Princess Wuyang Qin Ronglu, so there is still room for turnaround.

"Your father was raised entirely by your great-grandfather. I never asked about it, and your great-grandfather never let me ask about it either.

Back then, your great-grandfather assisted Emperor Taizu and was responsible for gathering intelligence before the establishment of Dayong.

Later, after Emperor Taizu unified the country and became emperor, he no longer needed to spy on the enemy, so he abolished the position of secret agent.

Your great-grandfather was conferred the title of Tonghou and lived out his life in peace.

I now suspect that your father has followed your great-grandfather's example and started keeping spies.

It's just that your great-grandfather was doing his job under orders, and your father...

Despite such a rebellious act, your great-grandfather still praised your father for being smart and steady, like you?" Lin Jingsheng laughed as he spoke, and he couldn't help coughing.

Before His Majesty mentioned it, he had already felt that his eldest son Lin Qingang was too well-informed.

Although he did not attend court, he sometimes knew more than him. Lin Jingsheng originally thought that snakes had their own ways and rats had their own ways.

As his eldest son, Lin Qingang, it is normal for some people to admire and follow him and provide him with some inside information.

When His Majesty mentioned it, he finally understood that his eldest son, who did not get along well with him, was going to give him a big one, aiming at the lives of everyone in his household.

Lin Su stood up and gently stroked Lin Jingsheng's back, hoping that his grandfather would not be too excited and calm down.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I really don't know about this matter, and my father has never mentioned anything related to him.

My father has always been self-disciplined and prudent, so how could he suddenly start secretly raising spies?

Since Your Majesty did not punish my father immediately, there is still room for maneuver in this matter."

Lin Su held his grandfather Lin Jingsheng's throbbing hand and continued to comfort him in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty did not point out to you that it was my father who secretly raised spies. If everything is just your guess, and Your Majesty is not talking about my father, then perhaps you have misunderstood?"

"It will be too late when His Majesty gives instructions."

Lin Jingsheng flicked his hand, and with a loud bang, the porcelain bowl shattered to the ground, and the black medicine splashed like water, staining the hem of Lin Su's clothes.

The maid in the mansion heard the sound of the medicine bowl breaking and Lin Su's order to come in and clean it up.

Lin Jingsheng just glanced at it and said, "Is it just a guess? Go call your father over and ask him and you'll know. Sooner or later, I'll make him mad to death."
