Chapter 199
The people in the Lin family were all smiling, but when they heard Wang Kun's words, everyone's expressions changed, and the smile on Lin Mengyao's face froze even more.

She raised her head, ignoring her usual prudence, and looked directly at Wang Kun and said, "Elder-in-law, did you declare the wrong order?"

"Miss Lin was joking, miscellaneous family would not dare commit the serious crime of beheading."

Hearing Lin Mengyao's words, Wang Kun said with a smile.

Although there was still a smile on Wang Kun's face, there was no smile in his eyes. He looked at Lin Mengyao and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin, accept the order."

Looking at the imperial decree in Wang Kun's hand, Lin Mengyao felt that her whole body was on the verge of collapse, but she still forced out a smile, "My daughter accepts the decree."

"Eunuch, I'll see you off."

Lin Ruhai had been in the officialdom for many years. Seeing Wang Kun walking outside, he hurriedly stepped forward. When he saw Wang Kun go out, Lin Ruhai silently stuffed a purse into Wang Kun's hand.

The purse was so light and weightless, it was obvious that it contained silver notes.

"Master Lin is being polite."

Wang Kun put away his purse and looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile on his face.

Lin Ruhai stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Elder-in-law, I wonder if you can mention a few words. Is there any reason for this decree?"

"Lord Lin, Prince Qing's main concubine is the lady of Chujiang Palace.

After saying this sentence, Wang Kun refused to speak again and left directly.

Lin House.

"Heh...it's just a side concubine, to put it nicely, a side concubine, isn't she still a concubine?"

"Yao'er, what the hell is going on?"

Lin Ruhai's several concubines made mocking noises after knowing the imperial decree.

Mrs. Lin didn't dare to argue with those people, and looked directly at Lin Mengyao.

But Lin Mengyao didn't look at anyone in the Lin family, but ran out directly.

"Yao'er?"

Looking at Lin Mengyao's back, Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of anxiety.

After leaving Lin's mansion, Lin Mengyao ran directly to Prince Qing's mansion.

"Miss Lin?"

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Pei Wu. Seeing him, Lin Mengyao said directly, "Is the prince there? I want to see the prince."

"I'll take the lady there."

"Thank you."

Lin Mengyao followed Pei Wu to the door of Xiao Junhao's study.

Lin Mengyao's eyes were full of unwillingness, but she still raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the voice inside, Lin Mengyao opened the door and walked in.

Xiao Junhao was practicing calligraphy when Lin Mengyao stepped forward and saluted the man, "My lord."

Hearing Lin Mengyao's voice, Xiao Junhao's ink dripped directly.

He put down the brush in his hand before looking up at Lin Mengyao.

Seeing the crimson in her eyes, Xiao Junhao said softly, "It seems that you have received the imperial father's order."

"My lord, tell me what's going on and why it's... a side concubine."

When mentioning the side concubine, Lin Mengyao tightly grasped her palm.

She put all her heart and soul into this man just to gamble, but now, she is just a side concubine.

Thinking of this, tears rolled down Lin Mengyao's eyes.

Seeing the tears in the corners of her eyes, Xiao Junhao hurried forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears in Lin Mengyao's eyes, the man said softly, "Yao'er, I am the one who is sorry for you."

"But don't worry, I will definitely compensate you in the future."

"Compensation, how will the prince compensate me?"

"It was the royal father who bestowed you on me as the concubine. I have no way to disobey the royal father's will. But when I ascend to that position in the future, I will definitely leave that most precious position to you."

Xiao Junhao's voice was very soft, but it reached Lin Mengyao's ears clearly.

Lin Mengyao's eyes were still full of unwillingness, but they were not as scarlet as before.

Stretching out his hand, Xiao Junhao hugged Lin Mengyao, and whispered in her ear, "Yao'er, trust me."

The man's voice was a little choked, Lin Mengyao said in a low voice after a long silence, "I believe in the prince."

Even if she didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.

"I heard that your concubine is the lady of Chujiang Palace?"

"Yes."

"I heard that she is beautiful?"

Xiao Junhao didn't answer.

General's House.

plum garden.

"Miss, Miss Jiang is here."

Jiang Peihuan, who was reading a book, put down the book in her hand when she heard Yue'er's voice.

Afterwards, Jiang Peihuan saw Jiang Yan who walked into the plum garden with her maid.

Seeing her, Jiang Peihuan was a little surprised.

Although the two of them were traveling together when they came back from Jiangzhou, Jiang Peihuan had been sitting in the carriage with Xiao Nanye all the time, so she had nothing to do with Jiang Yan, so seeing Jiang Yan appearing in front of her at this moment, Jiang Peihuan's heart Very puzzled.

"I have been given a marriage by the emperor to King Qing as his concubine."

Jiang Yan walked up to Jiang Peihuan and spoke directly.

When Jiang Peihuan heard this, she was even more surprised.

This matter has never happened in my previous life.

But at this moment, what Jiang Peihuan was thinking about was not about Jiang Yan being given a marriage to Xiao Junhao, but about Lin Mengyao.

That was the white moonlight in Xiao Junhao's heart. In her previous life, it was because she blocked the way. Jiang Peihuan thought that in this life, Lin Mengyao would definitely become Xiao Junhao's official concubine.

And I don't want to kill another Jiangyan.

Seeing Yue'er put the tea in front of Jiang Yan, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Miss Jiang came here on purpose today to tell me about it?"

"If so, then I would like to congratulate Miss Jiang."

"Miss Jiang, do you know that the emperor not only married me to King Qing as his main concubine, but also married him a side concubine?"

Before Jiang Peihuan could say anything, Jiang Yan continued, "Prince Qing's side concubine is none other than Miss Lin."

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan's heart skipped a beat, but it didn't show on her face.

Picking up the tea on the table, Jiang Peihuan took a sip before looking at Jiang Yan and saying, "Miss Jiang may as well speak up if you have something to say."

"I want to cooperate with Miss Jiang."

Jiang Peihuan raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan continued, "It is said that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. I know that the Lin family and the Jiang family have always been enemies, so I think that Miss Jiang and I can at least be on the same page about the eldest lady of the Lin family. .”

"Sorry, I don't think we can reach a cooperation with Miss Jiang."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Jiang Peihuan spoke directly.

But Jiang Yan was stunned when she heard this. Looking at Jiang Peihuan, she said directly, "Why, don't you hate the people of the Lin family?"

"I really hate the Lin family, but I hate King Qing even more."

In her previous life, she naturally hated Lin Mengyao in her heart, but compared to Lin Mengyao, Xiao Junhao was the culprit.

Seeing Jiang Yan staring at her with wide eyes, Jiang Peihuan didn't want to explain any more. Looking at her, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Miss Jiang, please go back."

"I……"

"Come on, see off."
