The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her
Chapter 229: Jingxuan, I'm Waiting for Your Return; Happiness and Marriage, How Far is It?
When the candle was lit, Lin Ruoxi stared intently at Lin Jingxuan, her beautiful eyes like a spring were rippling, she felt uneasy for the first time, she stretched out her hand to tightly hold Lin Jingxuan's slightly cold hands, and asked with a frown: " Jingxuan, what are you talking about? What do you mean you want to leave me? You tell the fourth sister quickly.
Lin Jingxuan lowered his beautiful eyes, his thick and long eyebrows cast thick eye shadows under the eyes in the candlelight, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.
But the more this happened, the more Lin Ruoxi felt uneasy. She let go of Lin Jingxuan's hand, stretched out her hand and straightened Lin Jingxuan's handsome face. On that jade-like handsome face, two lines of tears slid across.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly wiped away the clear tears that slid across his cheeks with her slender fingers, but his tears were like broken beads, falling drop after drop, and finally threaded into a string on Ruyu's cheeks Glittering tears fell.
Lin Jingxuan choked up this time, but he smiled with crooked eyebrows, that smile moved the world, but also contained a trace of poignant beauty.
Lin Ruoxi asked again anxiously: "Jingxuan, quickly explain the matter clearly, and tell Fourth Sister, what is going on? Why did you leave Fourth Sister?" 15898510
Lin Jingxuan sniffed, like a big child, with bright smiles on his face: "Fourth sister, yesterday I received news that Chen Guogong launched a war in the frontier, saying that he would lead troops to rebel, and when he arrived in Dali Kingdom, he would kill the Lin family Full door."
Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, what was supposed to come was coming after all.Although she did not cause the whole family to be massacred in Chen Guogong's mansion at the beginning, it was also related to her. Chen Guogong guarded the frontier so he could not go back to the mansion to see what happened in the mansion. Even if Mrs. Chen Guogong passed away, he could only Guarding the frontier, he cannot leave here for half a step, otherwise the emperor will definitely punish him for a serious crime.
But now that Chen Guogong's mansion is suffering from massacres, he can't bear the pain of losing the whole family of Chen Guogong's mansion. If he wants to go back to the mansion, the emperor will punish him.And the biggest crime is nothing more than the extermination of the nine clans, and now that Chen Guogong's mansion is gone, what else does he have to be afraid of?
In the end, he decided to rebel in the frontier and make trouble in the capital of Dali, and his ultimate goal was to settle the debt with the Lin family and Lin Ruoxi—after Lin Jingxuan learned about it, he had made up his mind a long time ago. Lin Ruoxi couldn't be harmed at all, so even if he knew that Chen Guogong was powerful and powerful in martial arts, he still wanted to prevent Chen Guogong from returning to the capital of Dali. Become the Chaos Firm he wants to kill.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head, took Lin Jingxuan's hand, and said very seriously: "Jingxuan, the fourth sister promised the second wife that she will take good care of you and that you will always be by my side to spend this life safely, so I will not agree with you to take this risk, although Chen Guogong is powerful, he will definitely not be able to match the 30 troops owned by Emperor Dali's imperial guards and Tuobatian's grandfather Xiao Guogong."
Lin Jingxuan smiled bitterly: "Fourth sister, you actually know everything, but you want to deceive yourself. Chen Guogong dared to rebel in the frontier, and he must have formed a party with the crown prince or His Royal Highness in Dali for personal gain. Let's wait until Chen Guogong brings When the soldiers and horses guarding the frontier came to the capital of the Dali Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness would surely meet him inside and outside, and a coup d’état would occur in the palace. By then, it would be too late. Chen Guogong's persecution."
"Jingxuan, Fourth Sister is not afraid of these things. Don't leave, just stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you know? The Fifth Highness will definitely find a solution, you have to trust me." Lin Ruoxi frowned, feeling extremely anxious.
Lin Jingxuan took a deep breath: "Fourth sister, this time I have discussed it with His Highness Fifth, he is willing to send me [-] soldiers and horses to resist Chen Guogong's forces, and he has already obtained the emperor's permission."
Lin Ruoxi shouted: "No! You are absolutely not allowed to go! Why didn't you tell me in advance? Why did you come so suddenly?"
Lin Jingxuan could no longer restrain his excitement, and stretched out his long arms to hug Lin Ruoxi tightly in his arms. The cold tears ran across his face and fell on the shoulders of Lin Ruoxi's white underwear. From her shoulders spread her whole body.
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes, her fluctuating mood became calm because of Lin Jingxuan's hug.
Somewhere, perhaps it was destined that she and Lin Jingxuan were predestined. From the first time she saw him, he smiled at the strange her with crooked eyes. From the first time she saw him, she knew that the eldest lady would not Let him go, take the initiative to confront the eldest lady, and save Lin Jingxuan from the moment of death... In the dark, maybe they are destined to meet, stay and part, and from parting to meet again.
This is beyond her control, and Lin Jingxuan, who has always been like a child in her eyes, has gradually grown up and become a real man with a strong chest, Fang Gang's blood and strong ambition, She knew that no matter how she persuaded him, he would not be willing to stay here and see her in danger. She knew that everything he did was for her and for the entire Lin family.
Without saying a word, Lin Ruoxi allowed Lin Jingxuan to hug her deeply, wet the white clothes on her shoulders, and the coolness pierced into her heart little by little.
"Master!" Mo Xuehen came to the house, although he couldn't bear to disturb the two of them, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he had to kindly remind Lin Jingxuan.
Hearing Mo Xuehen's call, Lin Jingxuan gently pushed Lin Ruoxi away. When he finally left, his eyes and brows were crooked like a moon, he raised Lin Ruoxi's hand, and gently stroked his cheek. She smiled softly: "Fourth sister, Jingxuan misses that time when I was a child, you always touched my cheek with your hand."
Lin Ruoxi smiled gently, even though the smile was a bit bitter, she gently touched Lin Jingxuan's handsome cheek with her hand, as if she had returned to two years ago, when Jingxuan was still a five-year-old with little thoughts Child, at that time, she was always curious that this man's little face was more beautiful than a woman's, and his skin was white and smooth. She always reached out and stroked his cheek curiously, thinking... Lin Ruoxi's smile Amidst the bitterness, there is a trace of happiness.
Mo Xuehen heard a signal from outside Ruoxiang Courtyard, he took a deep breath and called out, "Master, the time has come."
Lin Jingxuan removed his handsome cheek from Lin Ruoxi's hand, he stood up, and waved goodbye to Lin Ruoxi: "Fourth sister, you must wait here for my return, you must not leave Jingxuan quietly, okay? "
Lin Ruoxi nodded, and waved at Lin Jingxuan: "Fourth sister promises you, I will definitely wait for you to come back here, no matter what happens, I will never leave you, and leave this world quietly."
Lin Jingxuan smiled reassuringly, and when he turned around, the white cloak behind him drew a chic arc, strode out of Ruoxiang courtyard like a shooting star, stepped on the back of the horse, and rode away with whip.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't control her emotions anymore, she wore a pink cloak, ran out of Ruoxiang Courtyard barefoot, and ran towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mo Xueyuan, Leng Xin and Qiuyan saw their master panicked, and followed her anxiously until they reached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where they saw Lin Ruoxi straighten up in the wind and disappear into the distance. The dotted figures on horseback beckoned, and their hearts couldn't help but ache at this moment.
The third young master loves the fourth young lady with such affection, but the fourth young lady doesn't know it, but she still cares about him so much, even he doesn't know that it has surpassed the relationship between siblings.
Third Young Master, if you see Miss Fourth crying for you and heartbroken for you, please come back safely and don't encounter danger outside, leaving Miss Fourth in this helpless prime minister's mansion.
Third young master—we are all waiting for you to come back.
Things happened as Lin Ruoxi expected, Chen Guogong rebelled in the frontier, but because Lin Jingxuan led troops to resist the encirclement and suppression, His Royal Highness, the Queen, and even Tuoba Chen began to feel uneasy, and finally an astonishing palace incident occurred in the capital of Dali. Change.
And during this palace change, the three princes, the third prince Tuoba Xiao, the fifth prince Tuoba Tian, and the sixth prince Tuoba Hong, strongly supported the emperor and protected the safety of the emperor, and the backers of these three princes were all military generals. The grandpa and grandfather who were born in the country helped each other, so that the emperor's military power in his hands far exceeded the military power possessed by His Royal Highness and the Empress. Although there was a life-and-death struggle between the two forces, there was only one result, and His Royal Highness was abolished. The empress was killed in the chaos of war, while Tuobachen ran away like a snake after a defeat.
The emperor of Dali sat firmly on the throne again. He named the three princes, the third prince Tuoba Xiao as Xiao's lord, the fifth prince Tuoba Tian as Qianqin Prince, the sixth prince Tuoba Hong as Prince Hong, and Tuoba Hong as Prince Hong. Batian made great contributions in protecting the Dali Emperor this time, and in stabilizing the throne of the Dali Emperor. This is why Tuoba Xiao can be named Prince Xiao, Tuoba Hong can be named Prince Hong, and Tuoba Tian He was chosen a different surname and named Prince Qian.
Not only that, but the Dali Emperor gave Tuobatian a generous reward, which also made all the subjects of the Dali Kingdom think that Tuobatian could become the second Crown Prince of the Dali, and become the crown prince of the Dali in the future.
At the beginning of summer, Lin Ruoxi was used to sitting on the stone bench in Ruoxiang Courtyard and waiting for someone. The viburnum flowers were in full bloom at this season, and the pink viburnum flowers fluttered down with the wind, floating beside her , as if it was her longing, which drifts away with the wind.
"Miss Si, it's getting so late at night, Qiuyan will help you go back to the house to rest!"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "I'm going to wait here for a while!"
Mo Xueyuan also persuaded worriedly: "Miss Si, Chen Guogong heard that the situation has subsided, and the master must be coming back soon, so you should not be so worried. If the master sees Miss Si waiting for him and thinking about him, the body is in a state of distress. If you are skinny, you are not as beautiful as before, so when he sees you like this, he will definitely feel distressed."
Leng Xin also nodded: "Miss Si, what Xueyuan said is right, if the third young master sees you losing weight like this, he will definitely feel bad."
Qiuyan stood aside, frowning, her big watery eyes rolled back and forth, tears fell quickly, she coldly abducted her with her arm, and whispered in her ear: "Qiuyan, If you were crying and the lady saw it, what would she think? Her mood will definitely become worse because of you. "
Qiuyan hurriedly sniffed, holding back the tears that were about to cry.
Lin Ruoxi picked up a few withered petals from the stone table, and smiled slightly: "This is the fifth day, the fifth day since Chen Guogong was captured, Jingxuan should be back soon. You don't have to worry about me I'll wait here, maybe he will come back soon."
Qiuyan, Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan know their young lady's temper, especially her stubborn temper. Once she has made up her mind, even ten bulls will not be able to change her mind. Divorce!Read the full text.
This night was spent outside the gate of Ruoxiang Courtyard, Lin Ruoxi didn't know when she fell into a drowsy sleep, but when she opened her eyes again, what she saw was a handsome and cool face.
"God? Why are you here?"
Tuobatian sighed softly: "These few days are too busy with business, so I don't have time to come to Ruoxiang Courtyard to accompany you. I came to Ruoxiang Courtyard to see you early this morning, but I saw you sleeping in the Ruoxiang Courtyard. On the stone table, I asked Xia Qiuyan and Leng Xin, and they told me that you have been waiting like this for five days and five nights, are you not afraid that your body will not be able to take it?"
Lin Ruoxi felt a little dizzy in her head, she pinched her forehead with her slender fingers, but pretended to be nonchalant: "It's too hot in summer, and it's too stuffy to sleep in the house, that's why I sit in this big yard to enjoy the cool , and fell asleep accidentally."
Tuobatian reproached gently: "Lin Ruoxi, you are such a fool, you can hide others, but you can't hide it from me, are you worried about the third young master, right? After Chen Guogong was captured by the third young master, he already There is news from the front that the third young master will return safely, so don't worry too much, but you still refuse to believe it, and have been sitting here waiting for him. If he sees you, you look thin now, he I will definitely feel sorry for you."
Lin Ruoxi opened her mouth, but did not speak.
Tuobatian anxiously said: "Even if he doesn't love you, I still love you. I haven't seen you these few days, and I always miss you. If I come a few days late, I don't know what you are going to do to torture yourself." It's done."
Lin Ruoxi smiled lightly: "God, don't worry about me, am I fine?"
Tuobatian sighed deeply: "Don't lie to yourself like this anymore, the sun is very good today, after you wash up and have breakfast, I will accompany you for a walk in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lin Ruoxi smiled and nodded, under the service of Qiu Yan and Leng Xin, after washing up, she had a simple breakfast, and then went for a walk in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Tuobatian.
At the beginning of summer, the peonies in the garden are already in full bloom. Red, pink, purple, and white are of different colors. They bloom colorfully in the garden, adding a bit of prosperity and wealth to the scene.
Lin Ruoxi and Tuobatian had just arrived at the garden, and happened to meet Lin Xiaoran, the old lady, and Aunt Liu, who were admiring flowers in the garden. Black eyeballs, giggling, clapping and smiling eyes, very happy.
Lin Xiaoran and the old lady were teasing Xiao Jinghua, when they suddenly saw Tuobatian and Lin Ruoxi walking towards them, and Aunt Liu was also coaxing Jinghua, but she saw Tuobatian standing on Lin Ruoxi's side in a gentle and considerate manner. When she was by her side, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, as if her daughter had found a good home, she was so excited that she almost shed tears.
Lin Xiaoran and the old lady looked at each other, and when Tuobatian came in front of them, the three of them saluted to Tuobatian, and Tuobatian raised his hand to signal them to invite them, there is no need to stick to etiquette.
Lin Xiaoran recently discovered that when Tuobatian was in the limelight in the Dali Kingdom, he was very likely to become the future heir, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have recently discovered that you and Ruoxi are walking together. It's getting closer, don't you...?" He hesitated to speak, waiting for Tuobatian to take the words.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi remained silent, Tuobatian smiled and said, "I like Miss Fourth very much, so I decided to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage in a few days. I wonder if Prime Minister Lin will agree to marry the daughter of your mansion to you?" What about me?"
Lin Ruoxi lowered her long eyelashes, with a thoughtful expression, she didn't listen to the words of Tuobatian and Lin Xiaoran at all.
The old lady is a smart person, she can see that Lin Ruoxi is always preoccupied recently, she seems not to care about this marriage, if Lin Xiaoran makes a final decision like this, when Lin Ruoxi wakes up and doesn't want this marriage, then she Lifelong happiness is gone.
The old lady coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "It's Ruoxi's blessing that His Highness Fifth Highness likes Ruoxi, but Ruoxi is very stubborn, if she doesn't like something, even if anyone forces her to do it, she will do it." I will not do it, so it is not enough for this marriage to be ordered by our parents, we also need to hear what she means."
Tuobatian's handsome smile showed a cool and beautiful smile, and he whispered in her ear: "Ruoxi, did you hear that? The old lady wants to ask you, whether you agree to marry me as the princess. "
Lin Ruoxi froze on the spot and didn't reply.
Tuobatian became a little anxious, stretched out his arm and touched her arm lightly, Lin Ruoxi was relieved, and heard the old lady ask: "Ruoxi, do you have any love for His Highness the Fifth Highness and want to marry her?" How about giving him the princess?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head lightly: "Madam, Ruoxi hasn't made up her mind yet!"
Aunt Liu is a little anxious. She is very optimistic about Tuobatian personally. He is not only the fifth prince of the Dali Dynasty, but also the most popular dry prince. What is more important is his meticulous protection and love for Lin Ruoxi. Many men love him. He couldn't catch up, so he completely moved Aunt Liu with his sincerity.
Aunt Liu decided to stand by Tuobatian's side and say something nice: "Ruoxi, His Highness Fifth Highness is a rare and good man, don't miss this great opportunity."
Lin Ruoxi looked at Aunt Liu looking at her with expectant eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled lightly: "Mother, it seems that you are so anxious to marry your daughter?"
Aunt Liu smiled softly: "Where is this? It's just that my mother thinks that His Highness the Fifth Highness treats you really well, so I have nothing to say. If you miss this marriage, my mother will feel it is a pity."
Lin Ruoxi was still about to say something, but at this time Lin Xiaoran's face darkened: "Lin Ruoxi, you are the daughter of the Lin family, you should obey the Lin family's orders and your parents' orders, and you can't push back and do anything wrong."
Lin Ruoxi's heart was on fire. Originally, because of Lin Jingxuan's delay in returning home, she was worried, and her chest was stuffy with anger. After Lin Xiaoran's compulsory reprimand, her chest seemed to be on fire.
"Father, in your eyes, am I still your daughter? I was separated from my mother when I was young, and you handed me over to the eldest lady, and let her abuse me in every possible way, but you remained indifferent. How dare you say, At that time, did you admit that I was the daughter of the Lin family? Did you take care of your father again? When I grew up, you saw how handsome I was, so you thought of giving me to the second sister Lin Rusi as a paving stone. Forced me to do something I didn't want until the second sister was gone, and I was the only one left with all the daughters of the Lin family. At this time, you put your hopes on me, but I want to tell you, you The hope given to me is just a pawn in your hand. You want me to be your pawn, at your mercy. Seeing His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince being made the Prince Qian, and being favored by the Emperor Dali, in the Dali Dynasty You are in the limelight, and you just want to marry your daughter, curry favor with His Highness the Fifth Highness, but don't care about your daughter's feelings... I really think it's better to have a father like you than not to have one."
After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking these words in one breath, Lin Xiaoran's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to give Lin Ruoxi a slap, but Tuobatian stood beside Lin Ruoxi, raising her hand to block Lin Xiaoran's slap.
"Prime Minister Lin, nothing can be done by coercion, and the same is true for marriage. I like Lin Ruoxi, the four-thousand-gold Lin Ruoxi in the prime minister's mansion, so I will never force her to do something she doesn't like. I believe she likes me. It's just that she needs a period of time to think about whether she wants to be with me for the rest of her life, and I'm willing to wait for her...but I can't see her being sad, so if you hurt her, I will never forgive you. "
Lin Xiaoran has never been afraid of anyone other than the current emperor, but the current Tuobatian seems to be the shadow of the current emperor, he actually trembled, he withdrew his hand, and left the garden in a hurry .
The old lady and Aunt Liu looked at each other, sighed, and saw Lin Ruoxi leaving angrily, and Tuobatian followed behind her.
"Ruoxi, I know you've been worried about Lin Jingxuan, but I hope you can calm down and think about whether you want to marry me or not."
Lin Ruoxi let the wind blow in her ears, but she didn't take his words into her heart. In her world, she did not allow the person she really cared about to be in any danger, absolutely not.
When Lin Ruoxi returned to Ruoxiang Courtyard, she locked herself in the house.
Tuobatian knocked on the door worriedly, but Lin Ruoxi didn't mean to see him, my beautiful wife.Fire forest ice I stretch.
Finally, Tuobatian sighed softly: "Ruoxi, don't worry, the third young master will be fine, I will send someone outside the city to inquire about Lin Jingxuan's news, as soon as there is news about him, I will rush Came here to tell you."
Tuobatian turned and left, but Lin Ruoxi suddenly pushed open the door and called Tuobatian: "God, wait..."
Tuobatian looked back suddenly, and saw that Lin Ruoxi was willing to see him. Excited, he ran over and held her hand: "Ruoxi, you are finally willing to see me, is it because I was too impatient just now, Without your permission, you want to propose marriage in the prime minister's mansion, so are you angry with me?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Heaven, there are some things that I have been worried about all the time, not only the fact that Jingxuan did not come back, I am also worried about you..."
Tuobatian was full of doubts: "Worried about me? What are you worried about me? Didn't I appear in front of you properly? There is nothing to worry about."
"God, there is something I've always wanted to ask you, do you really care about the throne?"
Tuobatian didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to ask such a question, he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, as the princes of the Dali Dynasty, the purpose of every prince's survival is to compete for the throne of the Dali Dynasty, and become the emperor of the Nine Kingdoms in the future. Son of Heaven of the Five Supremes."
Lin Ruoxi clenched her lips, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she said, "Heaven, the emperor of Dali, that is, your father, will not pass on the throne to you."
Tuobatian widened his eyes as if struck by lightning, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? You said that my father would never pass on the throne to me? I don't believe it. He values me so much and loves me so much." And appreciate me, how could it be possible to pass the crown prince to someone else, and the throne to someone else?"
"God, whether you believe it or not, according to my observation and conjecture about your father, he will not inherit the throne to you. If you still have reason, remember my words. If he announced The person who inherits the throne is not you, remember not to confront him face to face, just treat it as something you have already expected!"
Tuobatian also didn't intend to know what Lin Ruoxi guessed, who the Emperor Dali would inherit the throne to, he just believed in himself more. In the entire Dali dynasty, he is currently the only one with the strongest strength, his father the emperor Ben has a pair of discerning eyes, and he will definitely not entrust this throne to a puppet with no strength.
Tuobatian let go of Lin Ruoxi's hand, he looked at her lightly and said: "Ruoxi, tomorrow morning, the emperor will announce who can inherit the crown prince of Dali, and I must appear as the crown prince at that time In the prime minister's mansion, I will marry you as the crown prince in the future."
After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and resolutely walked out of Ruoxiang Courtyard, while Lin Ruoxi looked at her worriedly, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Qiu Yan and Leng Xin saw that Lin Ruoxi's complexion suddenly changed, they hurriedly supported Lin Ruoxi, Qiu Yan asked anxiously: "Miss Si, what's wrong with you? Why are you so well-behaved, suddenly your complexion is so ugly."
Mo Xueyuan once learned the basics of Chinese medicine. She put one hand on Lin Ruoxi's pulse. According to the pulse, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked: "Miss Si, your pulse is very chaotic. Is it because you are too worried and worried, and you have a heart attack again?"
At this time, Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked together: "Miss Si, has your heart disease been cured without treatment?"
Lin Ruoxi's lips were pale, and she showed a faint smile: "Heart disease is an incurable disease, and besides, that monk is just a chess piece that Tuobachen found to harm His Highness Fifth Highness and Jingxuan, so how can he be so serious?" It’s a miracle doctor who can cure my heart disease.”
In fact, during this period of time, Lin Ruoxi has already noticed that she is not feeling well, especially when she is angry, sad, and worried. Whenever her mood fluctuates, it will cause a splitting headache and a feeling of burning anxiety, although she has also made some adjustments herself. decoctions, but these decoctions cannot exert a strong curative effect, so that her body cannot be recuperated until now.
It seemed that God really didn't want her to live any longer, and her fate was struggling so quickly on the line of life and death.
Qiu Yan heard the meaning of Leng Xin and Qiu Yan's words, her eyes started to water again, and she knelt down in front of Lin Ruoxi with a plop, Lin Ruoxi frowned and asked, "Qiu Yan, what are you doing?"
"Miss Si, please allow Qiuyan to leave the prime minister's mansion. Qiuyan wants to go to a nunnery to be a nun and pray for Miss Si's safety. I hope Miss Si will be healthy and healthy and will not be sad or sad, and can live a long life. "
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help smiling bitterly, and helped Qiuyan up from the ground: "Silly Qiuyan, even if your eyes are swollen from crying in the nunnery, and you are blinded from crying, God will not be so merciful. Don't worry, your family Fourth Miss is extremely powerful, there is nothing that can destroy me, ahem..."
Lin Ruoxi coughed a few times before she finished speaking.
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan frowned, helped Lin Ruoxi into the room, took out hot tea, and gave Lin Ruoxi a drink, Lin Ruoxi stopped coughing.
She pushed her hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine, as long as I recuperate for a few days, I will recover naturally."
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan knew that these were all perfunctory words, and when they remembered that Miss Si always endured the torment of illness in silence, and hadn't told His Highness Fifth and Third Young Master Lin Jingxuan about these things, their hearts ached like needles .
Qiu Yan really believed Lin Ruoxi's words, sniffed and laughed, "Miss Si, Qiu Yan is still waiting to be a dowry girl, and then she can be with Miss Si."
Lin Ruoxi nodded with a smile, but saw that Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan had lowered their heads, she smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing, am I fine? Look at how you guys have such expressions."
Qiuyan blinked her eyes: "Miss Si, they must be afraid that when you get married, they will only take Qiuyan as a dowry girl and leave them all behind. Miss Si, why don't you take two of you with you when you get married?" Girl, take them along with you, otherwise there will only be you and me in the huge mansion, and there must be no one to be busy for a long time."
Lin Ruoxi joked: "Isn't there a future husband to accompany me? How come there are only you and me in this huge mansion?"
Qiuyan knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Miss Si, you also know that Qiuyan is stupid, so stop teasing Qiuyan." 14hva.
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan looked at each other, and seeing Qiu Yan's silly look, that innocent and vicious look, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, they sighed heavily from the bottom of their hearts, and showed a slight smile at the corners of their lips. smile.
The next day, above the morning court, all the civil and military officials of the third rank and above of the Dali Dynasty gathered in the Golden Dragon Hall. The Emperor Dali was dressed in a dragon robe and looked at these civil and military officials with a solemn expression.
"My loves, the Dali Dynasty lacks a crown prince, who is the future heir apparent. Who do you think is more worthy of the crown prince?"
Lin Xiaoran, the head of civil servants—— Prime Minister Lin was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Prince Qian Tuoba is both talented in culture and military, and has won the hearts of the ministers and the people. He should sit on the crown prince. dispute."
As soon as Lin Xiaoran, the head of civil officials, opened his mouth, his disciples who were in charge, and officials who were close to him all reported to the emperor one after another, supporting the dry prince Tuobatian.
Immediately afterwards, Tuobatian's grandfather Xiao Guogong also stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Qian has played a pivotal role in this palace change, and he has made great contributions. According to my opinion, the position of the crown prince is not a dry one." Prince can't."
After hearing Xiao Guogong's report, all the military officials reported to the emperor one after another, saying that Tuoba Genius is a well-deserved prince of the Dali Kingdom.
The few officials who originally wanted to support the Third Highness and the Sixth Highness, but after hearing that the two heads of civil and military officials supported the dry prince Tuobatian as the crown prince, they did not dare to say anything, lest Tuobatian become the crown prince in the future. If you become an emperor in the future, you will hate them and get rid of them, which will not be worth the loss.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from among the crowd: "My Majesty, the ninth prince, Tuoba Duo, is extremely witty, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted. , allocating money to rescue the refugees in dire straits, won the support of the people, very similar to the Holy Majesty's revelation, very suitable for sitting on the position of the prince to read the full text of the "Wonderful Door."
The person who spoke was Wang Shangshu, who was deeply loved by the emperor. He was an upright man, and during this palace change, he blocked the assassin's knife with his body and saved Emperor Dali. Shangshu is even more favored by Banbai.
Emperor Dali's brows slowly relaxed from the previous frown. He smiled heartily and said, "Sure enough, Wang Shangshu has a discerning eye to recognize gold. I have already agreed to this, and named Ninth Prince Tuoba Duo the crown prince..." Then he deeply sighed. Glancing at the surprised Tuoba Tian said: "Since Prince Qian has been crowned as a prince, then reward him with the city of Qingcheng as his land, reward him ten thousand taels of gold, 20 soldiers and horses, and go to Qingcheng ten days later. In this place, the grand ceremony of conferring the king... How do you feel about being a prince?"
Tuobatian didn't dare to believe it until this moment. As Lin Ruoxi expected, Emperor Dali really inherited the throne to other princes. He suddenly looked at Tuoba Duo who was standing beside him in disbelief. Ba Duo smiled with crooked brows and eyes, very friendly, but in that kind of friendly eyes, there was a wolf-like ambition. He always felt that he was very much like a person, and looked up at the doctor who was waiting for his answer. The Dali Emperor, he suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that the only prince that his father loved the most was Tuobaduo, the ninth prince, because his mother and concubine was Empress Li, and Empress Li's children were also deeply loved by his father. The reason why he didn't show it was because Just want to protect Tuoba Duo.
Because these princes are all competing for the position of the future prince, they are so sharp that they kill each other, and now there are only five princes left, and among these five princes, the child that the father really loves But there was only Tuoba Duo alone, and his father was waiting for this time, when these princes killed each other and ended up being scarred and even killed, he stood up and assisted Tuoba Duo as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Such a scheming father, in order to let Tuoba Duo avoid the edge, let these princes kill each other for the throne, but in the end he became a stone under Tuoba Duo's feet. Thinking about being such a stone, Tuoba Tian couldn't help showing a wry smile.
The voice was loud and loud, hovering in the Golden Dragon Hall where needles could be heard.
What Emperor Dali was waiting for was Tuoba Tian's willing words. If he dared not obey, he could abolish his throne now. Fortunately, he was a sensible person, so he waved to Tuoba Duo, Tuoba Duo's handsome face was filled with a little solemnity, he walked slowly into the main hall, thanked him and said: "Thank you, father! My son will definitely be the crown prince, and share the worries of father!"
Tuobatian kept his eyes down, suddenly felt that the sky was dim and the ground was dark, his eyes turned white, and he fainted on the hall.
Lin Ruoxi came to Lvwei Courtyard early in the morning to see Aunt Liu and Xiao Jinghua. As soon as Xiao Jinghua saw her sister coming, she giggled and clapped her little hands, stretching out her chubby hands to pinch Lin Ruoxi's cheeks.
Lin Ruoxi dodged on purpose, stretched out her fingers and pinched her chubby baby face: "Little Jinghua, you can't touch my sister."
Xiao Jinghua rolled his black and bright eyeballs, and stretched out his chubby little hand to catch Lin Ruoxi's pasting cheek. Seeing that he was about to catch her, Lin Ruoxi dodged on purpose again, and Xiao Jinghua stared at his eyes Black and bright, but never give up, never cry or make trouble, this kind of personality really resembles a person.
Aunt Liu smiled and said: "Ruoxi, look at your younger brother, this stubborn character really resembles you."
Lin Ruoxi said proudly: "That's natural, I'm his older sister, so naturally he should be more like me."
Aunt Liu teased: "If you were more like you, I'm afraid not many girls would dare to marry him. Look at you now, you have a very fierce reputation outside. Up to now, no one dares to come to propose marriage. Really Let mother worry."
Lin Ruoxi stretched out her hand, grabbed Aunt Liu's arm, put her face on Aunt Liu's warm shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Ruoxi doesn't want to leave you, I really hope that I don't want to grow up or get married for the rest of my life. "
Aunt Liu stretched out her hand, and gently stroked her long hair. At this moment, Leng Xin suddenly ran into the Lvwei Courtyard, and handed a letter to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi saw the content of the letter, took a pen and wrote a letter in the room of Lvweiyuan, handed it to Leng Xin and said: "This letter must be delivered to him as soon as possible."
Aunt Liu asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Lin Ruoxi looked at her seriously: "Mother, you heard from Ruoxi that the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer safe to live in. You and Jinghua must leave as soon as possible."
Although Aunt Liu didn't know the specific reason, she believed that everything Lin Ruoxi did and every word she said had its own reason.
Seeing that Aunt Liu had already agreed, Lin Ruoxi left the Lvwei Courtyard with peace of mind, went to the Xianglin Courtyard to find the old lady, and finally made sense of her.
At noon, Lin Ruoxi had already asked Leng Xin and Qiuyan to prepare the carriage, and brought Aunt Liu and the old lady out of the prime minister's mansion.
The old lady and Aunt Liu looked back at the prime minister's mansion reluctantly, thinking that they had been sitting here for nearly half of their lives.
The old lady couldn't help crying, the tears slid down her vertical and horizontal face, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help feeling sad when she saw it, Lin Ruoxi took out the embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, wiped the tears on the old lady's face, comforted: "Old lady, Ruoxi knows that you are willing to part with this prime minister's mansion, and even more reluctant to part with the good memories left here, but the current situation is too urgent, for the safety of you and mother, I have to make such a decision."
The old lady nodded and said: "I know about this matter. If you want to blame it, you can blame your father for being blinded by this official position, and he didn't even know that he caused a murder. Ruoxi... I really don't know." I am also sad for your father, how could such a good Lin family be ruined in his hands like this!"
At first, Lin Ruoxi didn't believe that Lin Xiaoran would do anything to protect Tuobatian as the crown prince. After all, the emperor was sinister and deep. Lin Xiaoran should have figured out his character long ago. How could it be so absurd? Under such circumstances, he exposed his hidden strength, and his officials' children and those officials who joined him in forming a clique for self-interest have become fish in the eyes of the emperor, and they will use a knife to cut them at any time. Lin Xiaoran tried his best to protect Tuobatian This thing seems to have gone terribly wrong.
Aunt Liu felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, but she was worried about leaving Lin Ruoxi alone in Prime Minister Lin's Mansion. She held Xiao Jinghua in her arms, walked up to Lin Ruoxi, and asked with a frown: " Ruoxi, you should leave with us in the carriage!"
Lin Ruoxi stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Jinghua's chubby face, and smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry. I have been to that big house outside the city, so I will definitely be able to find it there. When you are all settled there, I'll rush over there, mother don't have to worry about me."
Aunt Liu nodded: "Okay, remember to come back early!"
Qiu Yan and Leng Xin helped the old lady and Aunt Liu into the carriage, Lin Ruoxi waved them goodbye, and before leaving, she pinched Xiao Jinghua's fat and delicate baby face, which made her pout , frowning, looking like a big man, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt reluctant to leave, and watched the carriage slowly drive away.
Mo Xueyuan stayed behind, and Lin Ruoxi stood outside the door of the prime minister's mansion, waiting for that person to appear, until two hours later, suddenly a white horse came running, with gorgeous green clothes fluttering over, Tuoba Tian's face was a little pale, but he still said with a gentle smile, "Ruoxi, let's go there together!"
Lin Ruoxi looked at Tuobatian and nodded, grabbed the big hand that Tuobatian offered, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, Tuobatian embraced her, shook the reins of the horse, and the two left Prime Minister Lin's mansion.
Mo Xueyuan, on the other hand, rode a fast horse that had been prepared, and followed closely behind them.
After leaving Kyoto, they arrived in a village outside the city. They walked along the country road to the big house they had bought before.
Originally, Lin Ruoxi and Tuobatian thought they would have freedom and happiness, but after arriving at this mansion, Lin Ruoxi's dark eyes fixed on the scene inside the mansion, and her whole body softened, and fell into Tuobatian's eyes. in the arms.
---
Lin Jingxuan lowered his beautiful eyes, his thick and long eyebrows cast thick eye shadows under the eyes in the candlelight, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.
But the more this happened, the more Lin Ruoxi felt uneasy. She let go of Lin Jingxuan's hand, stretched out her hand and straightened Lin Jingxuan's handsome face. On that jade-like handsome face, two lines of tears slid across.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly wiped away the clear tears that slid across his cheeks with her slender fingers, but his tears were like broken beads, falling drop after drop, and finally threaded into a string on Ruyu's cheeks Glittering tears fell.
Lin Jingxuan choked up this time, but he smiled with crooked eyebrows, that smile moved the world, but also contained a trace of poignant beauty.
Lin Ruoxi asked again anxiously: "Jingxuan, quickly explain the matter clearly, and tell Fourth Sister, what is going on? Why did you leave Fourth Sister?" 15898510
Lin Jingxuan sniffed, like a big child, with bright smiles on his face: "Fourth sister, yesterday I received news that Chen Guogong launched a war in the frontier, saying that he would lead troops to rebel, and when he arrived in Dali Kingdom, he would kill the Lin family Full door."
Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, what was supposed to come was coming after all.Although she did not cause the whole family to be massacred in Chen Guogong's mansion at the beginning, it was also related to her. Chen Guogong guarded the frontier so he could not go back to the mansion to see what happened in the mansion. Even if Mrs. Chen Guogong passed away, he could only Guarding the frontier, he cannot leave here for half a step, otherwise the emperor will definitely punish him for a serious crime.
But now that Chen Guogong's mansion is suffering from massacres, he can't bear the pain of losing the whole family of Chen Guogong's mansion. If he wants to go back to the mansion, the emperor will punish him.And the biggest crime is nothing more than the extermination of the nine clans, and now that Chen Guogong's mansion is gone, what else does he have to be afraid of?
In the end, he decided to rebel in the frontier and make trouble in the capital of Dali, and his ultimate goal was to settle the debt with the Lin family and Lin Ruoxi—after Lin Jingxuan learned about it, he had made up his mind a long time ago. Lin Ruoxi couldn't be harmed at all, so even if he knew that Chen Guogong was powerful and powerful in martial arts, he still wanted to prevent Chen Guogong from returning to the capital of Dali. Become the Chaos Firm he wants to kill.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head, took Lin Jingxuan's hand, and said very seriously: "Jingxuan, the fourth sister promised the second wife that she will take good care of you and that you will always be by my side to spend this life safely, so I will not agree with you to take this risk, although Chen Guogong is powerful, he will definitely not be able to match the 30 troops owned by Emperor Dali's imperial guards and Tuobatian's grandfather Xiao Guogong."
Lin Jingxuan smiled bitterly: "Fourth sister, you actually know everything, but you want to deceive yourself. Chen Guogong dared to rebel in the frontier, and he must have formed a party with the crown prince or His Royal Highness in Dali for personal gain. Let's wait until Chen Guogong brings When the soldiers and horses guarding the frontier came to the capital of the Dali Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness would surely meet him inside and outside, and a coup d’état would occur in the palace. By then, it would be too late. Chen Guogong's persecution."
"Jingxuan, Fourth Sister is not afraid of these things. Don't leave, just stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you know? The Fifth Highness will definitely find a solution, you have to trust me." Lin Ruoxi frowned, feeling extremely anxious.
Lin Jingxuan took a deep breath: "Fourth sister, this time I have discussed it with His Highness Fifth, he is willing to send me [-] soldiers and horses to resist Chen Guogong's forces, and he has already obtained the emperor's permission."
Lin Ruoxi shouted: "No! You are absolutely not allowed to go! Why didn't you tell me in advance? Why did you come so suddenly?"
Lin Jingxuan could no longer restrain his excitement, and stretched out his long arms to hug Lin Ruoxi tightly in his arms. The cold tears ran across his face and fell on the shoulders of Lin Ruoxi's white underwear. From her shoulders spread her whole body.
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes, her fluctuating mood became calm because of Lin Jingxuan's hug.
Somewhere, perhaps it was destined that she and Lin Jingxuan were predestined. From the first time she saw him, he smiled at the strange her with crooked eyes. From the first time she saw him, she knew that the eldest lady would not Let him go, take the initiative to confront the eldest lady, and save Lin Jingxuan from the moment of death... In the dark, maybe they are destined to meet, stay and part, and from parting to meet again.
This is beyond her control, and Lin Jingxuan, who has always been like a child in her eyes, has gradually grown up and become a real man with a strong chest, Fang Gang's blood and strong ambition, She knew that no matter how she persuaded him, he would not be willing to stay here and see her in danger. She knew that everything he did was for her and for the entire Lin family.
Without saying a word, Lin Ruoxi allowed Lin Jingxuan to hug her deeply, wet the white clothes on her shoulders, and the coolness pierced into her heart little by little.
"Master!" Mo Xuehen came to the house, although he couldn't bear to disturb the two of them, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he had to kindly remind Lin Jingxuan.
Hearing Mo Xuehen's call, Lin Jingxuan gently pushed Lin Ruoxi away. When he finally left, his eyes and brows were crooked like a moon, he raised Lin Ruoxi's hand, and gently stroked his cheek. She smiled softly: "Fourth sister, Jingxuan misses that time when I was a child, you always touched my cheek with your hand."
Lin Ruoxi smiled gently, even though the smile was a bit bitter, she gently touched Lin Jingxuan's handsome cheek with her hand, as if she had returned to two years ago, when Jingxuan was still a five-year-old with little thoughts Child, at that time, she was always curious that this man's little face was more beautiful than a woman's, and his skin was white and smooth. She always reached out and stroked his cheek curiously, thinking... Lin Ruoxi's smile Amidst the bitterness, there is a trace of happiness.
Mo Xuehen heard a signal from outside Ruoxiang Courtyard, he took a deep breath and called out, "Master, the time has come."
Lin Jingxuan removed his handsome cheek from Lin Ruoxi's hand, he stood up, and waved goodbye to Lin Ruoxi: "Fourth sister, you must wait here for my return, you must not leave Jingxuan quietly, okay? "
Lin Ruoxi nodded, and waved at Lin Jingxuan: "Fourth sister promises you, I will definitely wait for you to come back here, no matter what happens, I will never leave you, and leave this world quietly."
Lin Jingxuan smiled reassuringly, and when he turned around, the white cloak behind him drew a chic arc, strode out of Ruoxiang courtyard like a shooting star, stepped on the back of the horse, and rode away with whip.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't control her emotions anymore, she wore a pink cloak, ran out of Ruoxiang Courtyard barefoot, and ran towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mo Xueyuan, Leng Xin and Qiuyan saw their master panicked, and followed her anxiously until they reached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where they saw Lin Ruoxi straighten up in the wind and disappear into the distance. The dotted figures on horseback beckoned, and their hearts couldn't help but ache at this moment.
The third young master loves the fourth young lady with such affection, but the fourth young lady doesn't know it, but she still cares about him so much, even he doesn't know that it has surpassed the relationship between siblings.
Third Young Master, if you see Miss Fourth crying for you and heartbroken for you, please come back safely and don't encounter danger outside, leaving Miss Fourth in this helpless prime minister's mansion.
Third young master—we are all waiting for you to come back.
Things happened as Lin Ruoxi expected, Chen Guogong rebelled in the frontier, but because Lin Jingxuan led troops to resist the encirclement and suppression, His Royal Highness, the Queen, and even Tuoba Chen began to feel uneasy, and finally an astonishing palace incident occurred in the capital of Dali. Change.
And during this palace change, the three princes, the third prince Tuoba Xiao, the fifth prince Tuoba Tian, and the sixth prince Tuoba Hong, strongly supported the emperor and protected the safety of the emperor, and the backers of these three princes were all military generals. The grandpa and grandfather who were born in the country helped each other, so that the emperor's military power in his hands far exceeded the military power possessed by His Royal Highness and the Empress. Although there was a life-and-death struggle between the two forces, there was only one result, and His Royal Highness was abolished. The empress was killed in the chaos of war, while Tuobachen ran away like a snake after a defeat.
The emperor of Dali sat firmly on the throne again. He named the three princes, the third prince Tuoba Xiao as Xiao's lord, the fifth prince Tuoba Tian as Qianqin Prince, the sixth prince Tuoba Hong as Prince Hong, and Tuoba Hong as Prince Hong. Batian made great contributions in protecting the Dali Emperor this time, and in stabilizing the throne of the Dali Emperor. This is why Tuoba Xiao can be named Prince Xiao, Tuoba Hong can be named Prince Hong, and Tuoba Tian He was chosen a different surname and named Prince Qian.
Not only that, but the Dali Emperor gave Tuobatian a generous reward, which also made all the subjects of the Dali Kingdom think that Tuobatian could become the second Crown Prince of the Dali, and become the crown prince of the Dali in the future.
At the beginning of summer, Lin Ruoxi was used to sitting on the stone bench in Ruoxiang Courtyard and waiting for someone. The viburnum flowers were in full bloom at this season, and the pink viburnum flowers fluttered down with the wind, floating beside her , as if it was her longing, which drifts away with the wind.
"Miss Si, it's getting so late at night, Qiuyan will help you go back to the house to rest!"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "I'm going to wait here for a while!"
Mo Xueyuan also persuaded worriedly: "Miss Si, Chen Guogong heard that the situation has subsided, and the master must be coming back soon, so you should not be so worried. If the master sees Miss Si waiting for him and thinking about him, the body is in a state of distress. If you are skinny, you are not as beautiful as before, so when he sees you like this, he will definitely feel distressed."
Leng Xin also nodded: "Miss Si, what Xueyuan said is right, if the third young master sees you losing weight like this, he will definitely feel bad."
Qiuyan stood aside, frowning, her big watery eyes rolled back and forth, tears fell quickly, she coldly abducted her with her arm, and whispered in her ear: "Qiuyan, If you were crying and the lady saw it, what would she think? Her mood will definitely become worse because of you. "
Qiuyan hurriedly sniffed, holding back the tears that were about to cry.
Lin Ruoxi picked up a few withered petals from the stone table, and smiled slightly: "This is the fifth day, the fifth day since Chen Guogong was captured, Jingxuan should be back soon. You don't have to worry about me I'll wait here, maybe he will come back soon."
Qiuyan, Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan know their young lady's temper, especially her stubborn temper. Once she has made up her mind, even ten bulls will not be able to change her mind. Divorce!Read the full text.
This night was spent outside the gate of Ruoxiang Courtyard, Lin Ruoxi didn't know when she fell into a drowsy sleep, but when she opened her eyes again, what she saw was a handsome and cool face.
"God? Why are you here?"
Tuobatian sighed softly: "These few days are too busy with business, so I don't have time to come to Ruoxiang Courtyard to accompany you. I came to Ruoxiang Courtyard to see you early this morning, but I saw you sleeping in the Ruoxiang Courtyard. On the stone table, I asked Xia Qiuyan and Leng Xin, and they told me that you have been waiting like this for five days and five nights, are you not afraid that your body will not be able to take it?"
Lin Ruoxi felt a little dizzy in her head, she pinched her forehead with her slender fingers, but pretended to be nonchalant: "It's too hot in summer, and it's too stuffy to sleep in the house, that's why I sit in this big yard to enjoy the cool , and fell asleep accidentally."
Tuobatian reproached gently: "Lin Ruoxi, you are such a fool, you can hide others, but you can't hide it from me, are you worried about the third young master, right? After Chen Guogong was captured by the third young master, he already There is news from the front that the third young master will return safely, so don't worry too much, but you still refuse to believe it, and have been sitting here waiting for him. If he sees you, you look thin now, he I will definitely feel sorry for you."
Lin Ruoxi opened her mouth, but did not speak.
Tuobatian anxiously said: "Even if he doesn't love you, I still love you. I haven't seen you these few days, and I always miss you. If I come a few days late, I don't know what you are going to do to torture yourself." It's done."
Lin Ruoxi smiled lightly: "God, don't worry about me, am I fine?"
Tuobatian sighed deeply: "Don't lie to yourself like this anymore, the sun is very good today, after you wash up and have breakfast, I will accompany you for a walk in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lin Ruoxi smiled and nodded, under the service of Qiu Yan and Leng Xin, after washing up, she had a simple breakfast, and then went for a walk in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Tuobatian.
At the beginning of summer, the peonies in the garden are already in full bloom. Red, pink, purple, and white are of different colors. They bloom colorfully in the garden, adding a bit of prosperity and wealth to the scene.
Lin Ruoxi and Tuobatian had just arrived at the garden, and happened to meet Lin Xiaoran, the old lady, and Aunt Liu, who were admiring flowers in the garden. Black eyeballs, giggling, clapping and smiling eyes, very happy.
Lin Xiaoran and the old lady were teasing Xiao Jinghua, when they suddenly saw Tuobatian and Lin Ruoxi walking towards them, and Aunt Liu was also coaxing Jinghua, but she saw Tuobatian standing on Lin Ruoxi's side in a gentle and considerate manner. When she was by her side, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, as if her daughter had found a good home, she was so excited that she almost shed tears.
Lin Xiaoran and the old lady looked at each other, and when Tuobatian came in front of them, the three of them saluted to Tuobatian, and Tuobatian raised his hand to signal them to invite them, there is no need to stick to etiquette.
Lin Xiaoran recently discovered that when Tuobatian was in the limelight in the Dali Kingdom, he was very likely to become the future heir, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have recently discovered that you and Ruoxi are walking together. It's getting closer, don't you...?" He hesitated to speak, waiting for Tuobatian to take the words.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi remained silent, Tuobatian smiled and said, "I like Miss Fourth very much, so I decided to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage in a few days. I wonder if Prime Minister Lin will agree to marry the daughter of your mansion to you?" What about me?"
Lin Ruoxi lowered her long eyelashes, with a thoughtful expression, she didn't listen to the words of Tuobatian and Lin Xiaoran at all.
The old lady is a smart person, she can see that Lin Ruoxi is always preoccupied recently, she seems not to care about this marriage, if Lin Xiaoran makes a final decision like this, when Lin Ruoxi wakes up and doesn't want this marriage, then she Lifelong happiness is gone.
The old lady coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "It's Ruoxi's blessing that His Highness Fifth Highness likes Ruoxi, but Ruoxi is very stubborn, if she doesn't like something, even if anyone forces her to do it, she will do it." I will not do it, so it is not enough for this marriage to be ordered by our parents, we also need to hear what she means."
Tuobatian's handsome smile showed a cool and beautiful smile, and he whispered in her ear: "Ruoxi, did you hear that? The old lady wants to ask you, whether you agree to marry me as the princess. "
Lin Ruoxi froze on the spot and didn't reply.
Tuobatian became a little anxious, stretched out his arm and touched her arm lightly, Lin Ruoxi was relieved, and heard the old lady ask: "Ruoxi, do you have any love for His Highness the Fifth Highness and want to marry her?" How about giving him the princess?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head lightly: "Madam, Ruoxi hasn't made up her mind yet!"
Aunt Liu is a little anxious. She is very optimistic about Tuobatian personally. He is not only the fifth prince of the Dali Dynasty, but also the most popular dry prince. What is more important is his meticulous protection and love for Lin Ruoxi. Many men love him. He couldn't catch up, so he completely moved Aunt Liu with his sincerity.
Aunt Liu decided to stand by Tuobatian's side and say something nice: "Ruoxi, His Highness Fifth Highness is a rare and good man, don't miss this great opportunity."
Lin Ruoxi looked at Aunt Liu looking at her with expectant eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled lightly: "Mother, it seems that you are so anxious to marry your daughter?"
Aunt Liu smiled softly: "Where is this? It's just that my mother thinks that His Highness the Fifth Highness treats you really well, so I have nothing to say. If you miss this marriage, my mother will feel it is a pity."
Lin Ruoxi was still about to say something, but at this time Lin Xiaoran's face darkened: "Lin Ruoxi, you are the daughter of the Lin family, you should obey the Lin family's orders and your parents' orders, and you can't push back and do anything wrong."
Lin Ruoxi's heart was on fire. Originally, because of Lin Jingxuan's delay in returning home, she was worried, and her chest was stuffy with anger. After Lin Xiaoran's compulsory reprimand, her chest seemed to be on fire.
"Father, in your eyes, am I still your daughter? I was separated from my mother when I was young, and you handed me over to the eldest lady, and let her abuse me in every possible way, but you remained indifferent. How dare you say, At that time, did you admit that I was the daughter of the Lin family? Did you take care of your father again? When I grew up, you saw how handsome I was, so you thought of giving me to the second sister Lin Rusi as a paving stone. Forced me to do something I didn't want until the second sister was gone, and I was the only one left with all the daughters of the Lin family. At this time, you put your hopes on me, but I want to tell you, you The hope given to me is just a pawn in your hand. You want me to be your pawn, at your mercy. Seeing His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince being made the Prince Qian, and being favored by the Emperor Dali, in the Dali Dynasty You are in the limelight, and you just want to marry your daughter, curry favor with His Highness the Fifth Highness, but don't care about your daughter's feelings... I really think it's better to have a father like you than not to have one."
After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking these words in one breath, Lin Xiaoran's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to give Lin Ruoxi a slap, but Tuobatian stood beside Lin Ruoxi, raising her hand to block Lin Xiaoran's slap.
"Prime Minister Lin, nothing can be done by coercion, and the same is true for marriage. I like Lin Ruoxi, the four-thousand-gold Lin Ruoxi in the prime minister's mansion, so I will never force her to do something she doesn't like. I believe she likes me. It's just that she needs a period of time to think about whether she wants to be with me for the rest of her life, and I'm willing to wait for her...but I can't see her being sad, so if you hurt her, I will never forgive you. "
Lin Xiaoran has never been afraid of anyone other than the current emperor, but the current Tuobatian seems to be the shadow of the current emperor, he actually trembled, he withdrew his hand, and left the garden in a hurry .
The old lady and Aunt Liu looked at each other, sighed, and saw Lin Ruoxi leaving angrily, and Tuobatian followed behind her.
"Ruoxi, I know you've been worried about Lin Jingxuan, but I hope you can calm down and think about whether you want to marry me or not."
Lin Ruoxi let the wind blow in her ears, but she didn't take his words into her heart. In her world, she did not allow the person she really cared about to be in any danger, absolutely not.
When Lin Ruoxi returned to Ruoxiang Courtyard, she locked herself in the house.
Tuobatian knocked on the door worriedly, but Lin Ruoxi didn't mean to see him, my beautiful wife.Fire forest ice I stretch.
Finally, Tuobatian sighed softly: "Ruoxi, don't worry, the third young master will be fine, I will send someone outside the city to inquire about Lin Jingxuan's news, as soon as there is news about him, I will rush Came here to tell you."
Tuobatian turned and left, but Lin Ruoxi suddenly pushed open the door and called Tuobatian: "God, wait..."
Tuobatian looked back suddenly, and saw that Lin Ruoxi was willing to see him. Excited, he ran over and held her hand: "Ruoxi, you are finally willing to see me, is it because I was too impatient just now, Without your permission, you want to propose marriage in the prime minister's mansion, so are you angry with me?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Heaven, there are some things that I have been worried about all the time, not only the fact that Jingxuan did not come back, I am also worried about you..."
Tuobatian was full of doubts: "Worried about me? What are you worried about me? Didn't I appear in front of you properly? There is nothing to worry about."
"God, there is something I've always wanted to ask you, do you really care about the throne?"
Tuobatian didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to ask such a question, he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, as the princes of the Dali Dynasty, the purpose of every prince's survival is to compete for the throne of the Dali Dynasty, and become the emperor of the Nine Kingdoms in the future. Son of Heaven of the Five Supremes."
Lin Ruoxi clenched her lips, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she said, "Heaven, the emperor of Dali, that is, your father, will not pass on the throne to you."
Tuobatian widened his eyes as if struck by lightning, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? You said that my father would never pass on the throne to me? I don't believe it. He values me so much and loves me so much." And appreciate me, how could it be possible to pass the crown prince to someone else, and the throne to someone else?"
"God, whether you believe it or not, according to my observation and conjecture about your father, he will not inherit the throne to you. If you still have reason, remember my words. If he announced The person who inherits the throne is not you, remember not to confront him face to face, just treat it as something you have already expected!"
Tuobatian also didn't intend to know what Lin Ruoxi guessed, who the Emperor Dali would inherit the throne to, he just believed in himself more. In the entire Dali dynasty, he is currently the only one with the strongest strength, his father the emperor Ben has a pair of discerning eyes, and he will definitely not entrust this throne to a puppet with no strength.
Tuobatian let go of Lin Ruoxi's hand, he looked at her lightly and said: "Ruoxi, tomorrow morning, the emperor will announce who can inherit the crown prince of Dali, and I must appear as the crown prince at that time In the prime minister's mansion, I will marry you as the crown prince in the future."
After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and resolutely walked out of Ruoxiang Courtyard, while Lin Ruoxi looked at her worriedly, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Qiu Yan and Leng Xin saw that Lin Ruoxi's complexion suddenly changed, they hurriedly supported Lin Ruoxi, Qiu Yan asked anxiously: "Miss Si, what's wrong with you? Why are you so well-behaved, suddenly your complexion is so ugly."
Mo Xueyuan once learned the basics of Chinese medicine. She put one hand on Lin Ruoxi's pulse. According to the pulse, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked: "Miss Si, your pulse is very chaotic. Is it because you are too worried and worried, and you have a heart attack again?"
At this time, Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked together: "Miss Si, has your heart disease been cured without treatment?"
Lin Ruoxi's lips were pale, and she showed a faint smile: "Heart disease is an incurable disease, and besides, that monk is just a chess piece that Tuobachen found to harm His Highness Fifth Highness and Jingxuan, so how can he be so serious?" It’s a miracle doctor who can cure my heart disease.”
In fact, during this period of time, Lin Ruoxi has already noticed that she is not feeling well, especially when she is angry, sad, and worried. Whenever her mood fluctuates, it will cause a splitting headache and a feeling of burning anxiety, although she has also made some adjustments herself. decoctions, but these decoctions cannot exert a strong curative effect, so that her body cannot be recuperated until now.
It seemed that God really didn't want her to live any longer, and her fate was struggling so quickly on the line of life and death.
Qiu Yan heard the meaning of Leng Xin and Qiu Yan's words, her eyes started to water again, and she knelt down in front of Lin Ruoxi with a plop, Lin Ruoxi frowned and asked, "Qiu Yan, what are you doing?"
"Miss Si, please allow Qiuyan to leave the prime minister's mansion. Qiuyan wants to go to a nunnery to be a nun and pray for Miss Si's safety. I hope Miss Si will be healthy and healthy and will not be sad or sad, and can live a long life. "
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help smiling bitterly, and helped Qiuyan up from the ground: "Silly Qiuyan, even if your eyes are swollen from crying in the nunnery, and you are blinded from crying, God will not be so merciful. Don't worry, your family Fourth Miss is extremely powerful, there is nothing that can destroy me, ahem..."
Lin Ruoxi coughed a few times before she finished speaking.
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan frowned, helped Lin Ruoxi into the room, took out hot tea, and gave Lin Ruoxi a drink, Lin Ruoxi stopped coughing.
She pushed her hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine, as long as I recuperate for a few days, I will recover naturally."
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan knew that these were all perfunctory words, and when they remembered that Miss Si always endured the torment of illness in silence, and hadn't told His Highness Fifth and Third Young Master Lin Jingxuan about these things, their hearts ached like needles .
Qiu Yan really believed Lin Ruoxi's words, sniffed and laughed, "Miss Si, Qiu Yan is still waiting to be a dowry girl, and then she can be with Miss Si."
Lin Ruoxi nodded with a smile, but saw that Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan had lowered their heads, she smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing, am I fine? Look at how you guys have such expressions."
Qiuyan blinked her eyes: "Miss Si, they must be afraid that when you get married, they will only take Qiuyan as a dowry girl and leave them all behind. Miss Si, why don't you take two of you with you when you get married?" Girl, take them along with you, otherwise there will only be you and me in the huge mansion, and there must be no one to be busy for a long time."
Lin Ruoxi joked: "Isn't there a future husband to accompany me? How come there are only you and me in this huge mansion?"
Qiuyan knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Miss Si, you also know that Qiuyan is stupid, so stop teasing Qiuyan." 14hva.
Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan looked at each other, and seeing Qiu Yan's silly look, that innocent and vicious look, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, they sighed heavily from the bottom of their hearts, and showed a slight smile at the corners of their lips. smile.
The next day, above the morning court, all the civil and military officials of the third rank and above of the Dali Dynasty gathered in the Golden Dragon Hall. The Emperor Dali was dressed in a dragon robe and looked at these civil and military officials with a solemn expression.
"My loves, the Dali Dynasty lacks a crown prince, who is the future heir apparent. Who do you think is more worthy of the crown prince?"
Lin Xiaoran, the head of civil servants—— Prime Minister Lin was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Prince Qian Tuoba is both talented in culture and military, and has won the hearts of the ministers and the people. He should sit on the crown prince. dispute."
As soon as Lin Xiaoran, the head of civil officials, opened his mouth, his disciples who were in charge, and officials who were close to him all reported to the emperor one after another, supporting the dry prince Tuobatian.
Immediately afterwards, Tuobatian's grandfather Xiao Guogong also stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Qian has played a pivotal role in this palace change, and he has made great contributions. According to my opinion, the position of the crown prince is not a dry one." Prince can't."
After hearing Xiao Guogong's report, all the military officials reported to the emperor one after another, saying that Tuoba Genius is a well-deserved prince of the Dali Kingdom.
The few officials who originally wanted to support the Third Highness and the Sixth Highness, but after hearing that the two heads of civil and military officials supported the dry prince Tuobatian as the crown prince, they did not dare to say anything, lest Tuobatian become the crown prince in the future. If you become an emperor in the future, you will hate them and get rid of them, which will not be worth the loss.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from among the crowd: "My Majesty, the ninth prince, Tuoba Duo, is extremely witty, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted. , allocating money to rescue the refugees in dire straits, won the support of the people, very similar to the Holy Majesty's revelation, very suitable for sitting on the position of the prince to read the full text of the "Wonderful Door."
The person who spoke was Wang Shangshu, who was deeply loved by the emperor. He was an upright man, and during this palace change, he blocked the assassin's knife with his body and saved Emperor Dali. Shangshu is even more favored by Banbai.
Emperor Dali's brows slowly relaxed from the previous frown. He smiled heartily and said, "Sure enough, Wang Shangshu has a discerning eye to recognize gold. I have already agreed to this, and named Ninth Prince Tuoba Duo the crown prince..." Then he deeply sighed. Glancing at the surprised Tuoba Tian said: "Since Prince Qian has been crowned as a prince, then reward him with the city of Qingcheng as his land, reward him ten thousand taels of gold, 20 soldiers and horses, and go to Qingcheng ten days later. In this place, the grand ceremony of conferring the king... How do you feel about being a prince?"
Tuobatian didn't dare to believe it until this moment. As Lin Ruoxi expected, Emperor Dali really inherited the throne to other princes. He suddenly looked at Tuoba Duo who was standing beside him in disbelief. Ba Duo smiled with crooked brows and eyes, very friendly, but in that kind of friendly eyes, there was a wolf-like ambition. He always felt that he was very much like a person, and looked up at the doctor who was waiting for his answer. The Dali Emperor, he suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that the only prince that his father loved the most was Tuobaduo, the ninth prince, because his mother and concubine was Empress Li, and Empress Li's children were also deeply loved by his father. The reason why he didn't show it was because Just want to protect Tuoba Duo.
Because these princes are all competing for the position of the future prince, they are so sharp that they kill each other, and now there are only five princes left, and among these five princes, the child that the father really loves But there was only Tuoba Duo alone, and his father was waiting for this time, when these princes killed each other and ended up being scarred and even killed, he stood up and assisted Tuoba Duo as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Such a scheming father, in order to let Tuoba Duo avoid the edge, let these princes kill each other for the throne, but in the end he became a stone under Tuoba Duo's feet. Thinking about being such a stone, Tuoba Tian couldn't help showing a wry smile.
The voice was loud and loud, hovering in the Golden Dragon Hall where needles could be heard.
What Emperor Dali was waiting for was Tuoba Tian's willing words. If he dared not obey, he could abolish his throne now. Fortunately, he was a sensible person, so he waved to Tuoba Duo, Tuoba Duo's handsome face was filled with a little solemnity, he walked slowly into the main hall, thanked him and said: "Thank you, father! My son will definitely be the crown prince, and share the worries of father!"
Tuobatian kept his eyes down, suddenly felt that the sky was dim and the ground was dark, his eyes turned white, and he fainted on the hall.
Lin Ruoxi came to Lvwei Courtyard early in the morning to see Aunt Liu and Xiao Jinghua. As soon as Xiao Jinghua saw her sister coming, she giggled and clapped her little hands, stretching out her chubby hands to pinch Lin Ruoxi's cheeks.
Lin Ruoxi dodged on purpose, stretched out her fingers and pinched her chubby baby face: "Little Jinghua, you can't touch my sister."
Xiao Jinghua rolled his black and bright eyeballs, and stretched out his chubby little hand to catch Lin Ruoxi's pasting cheek. Seeing that he was about to catch her, Lin Ruoxi dodged on purpose again, and Xiao Jinghua stared at his eyes Black and bright, but never give up, never cry or make trouble, this kind of personality really resembles a person.
Aunt Liu smiled and said: "Ruoxi, look at your younger brother, this stubborn character really resembles you."
Lin Ruoxi said proudly: "That's natural, I'm his older sister, so naturally he should be more like me."
Aunt Liu teased: "If you were more like you, I'm afraid not many girls would dare to marry him. Look at you now, you have a very fierce reputation outside. Up to now, no one dares to come to propose marriage. Really Let mother worry."
Lin Ruoxi stretched out her hand, grabbed Aunt Liu's arm, put her face on Aunt Liu's warm shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Ruoxi doesn't want to leave you, I really hope that I don't want to grow up or get married for the rest of my life. "
Aunt Liu stretched out her hand, and gently stroked her long hair. At this moment, Leng Xin suddenly ran into the Lvwei Courtyard, and handed a letter to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi saw the content of the letter, took a pen and wrote a letter in the room of Lvweiyuan, handed it to Leng Xin and said: "This letter must be delivered to him as soon as possible."
Aunt Liu asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Lin Ruoxi looked at her seriously: "Mother, you heard from Ruoxi that the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer safe to live in. You and Jinghua must leave as soon as possible."
Although Aunt Liu didn't know the specific reason, she believed that everything Lin Ruoxi did and every word she said had its own reason.
Seeing that Aunt Liu had already agreed, Lin Ruoxi left the Lvwei Courtyard with peace of mind, went to the Xianglin Courtyard to find the old lady, and finally made sense of her.
At noon, Lin Ruoxi had already asked Leng Xin and Qiuyan to prepare the carriage, and brought Aunt Liu and the old lady out of the prime minister's mansion.
The old lady and Aunt Liu looked back at the prime minister's mansion reluctantly, thinking that they had been sitting here for nearly half of their lives.
The old lady couldn't help crying, the tears slid down her vertical and horizontal face, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help feeling sad when she saw it, Lin Ruoxi took out the embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, wiped the tears on the old lady's face, comforted: "Old lady, Ruoxi knows that you are willing to part with this prime minister's mansion, and even more reluctant to part with the good memories left here, but the current situation is too urgent, for the safety of you and mother, I have to make such a decision."
The old lady nodded and said: "I know about this matter. If you want to blame it, you can blame your father for being blinded by this official position, and he didn't even know that he caused a murder. Ruoxi... I really don't know." I am also sad for your father, how could such a good Lin family be ruined in his hands like this!"
At first, Lin Ruoxi didn't believe that Lin Xiaoran would do anything to protect Tuobatian as the crown prince. After all, the emperor was sinister and deep. Lin Xiaoran should have figured out his character long ago. How could it be so absurd? Under such circumstances, he exposed his hidden strength, and his officials' children and those officials who joined him in forming a clique for self-interest have become fish in the eyes of the emperor, and they will use a knife to cut them at any time. Lin Xiaoran tried his best to protect Tuobatian This thing seems to have gone terribly wrong.
Aunt Liu felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, but she was worried about leaving Lin Ruoxi alone in Prime Minister Lin's Mansion. She held Xiao Jinghua in her arms, walked up to Lin Ruoxi, and asked with a frown: " Ruoxi, you should leave with us in the carriage!"
Lin Ruoxi stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Jinghua's chubby face, and smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry. I have been to that big house outside the city, so I will definitely be able to find it there. When you are all settled there, I'll rush over there, mother don't have to worry about me."
Aunt Liu nodded: "Okay, remember to come back early!"
Qiu Yan and Leng Xin helped the old lady and Aunt Liu into the carriage, Lin Ruoxi waved them goodbye, and before leaving, she pinched Xiao Jinghua's fat and delicate baby face, which made her pout , frowning, looking like a big man, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt reluctant to leave, and watched the carriage slowly drive away.
Mo Xueyuan stayed behind, and Lin Ruoxi stood outside the door of the prime minister's mansion, waiting for that person to appear, until two hours later, suddenly a white horse came running, with gorgeous green clothes fluttering over, Tuoba Tian's face was a little pale, but he still said with a gentle smile, "Ruoxi, let's go there together!"
Lin Ruoxi looked at Tuobatian and nodded, grabbed the big hand that Tuobatian offered, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, Tuobatian embraced her, shook the reins of the horse, and the two left Prime Minister Lin's mansion.
Mo Xueyuan, on the other hand, rode a fast horse that had been prepared, and followed closely behind them.
After leaving Kyoto, they arrived in a village outside the city. They walked along the country road to the big house they had bought before.
Originally, Lin Ruoxi and Tuobatian thought they would have freedom and happiness, but after arriving at this mansion, Lin Ruoxi's dark eyes fixed on the scene inside the mansion, and her whole body softened, and fell into Tuobatian's eyes. in the arms.
