Lin Zhixuan listened to the "ruthless" hat that she had buttoned from Lu Yan's mouth, and her heart was full of powerlessness: "Lu Yan, I advise you not to marry Lin Yuanchuan, for your own good, for your future." And I didn't go to save Concubine Mu in order not to make trouble for myself and the prince. It's not that they can't help, it's that they really can't help. ”

Lu Yan listened to Lin Zhixuan's resolute tone, gently wiped the tears on her face, if she doesn't help, she won't help, it's just to ask Lin Zhixuan to do a small favor, she is the princess regent, this is just a matter of raising her hand, but she has involved so many alarmist words. In this world, how can there be so many lives and deaths. It's just that she doesn't want to help herself. Lu Yanfu gave Lin Zhixuan another salute and said, "In this case, it is Lu Yan's princess regent." Lu Yan took his leave. ”

So saying, he got up and strode away, not even paying attention to the cat napping on the carpet outside.

The maid who followed Lu Yan outside hurried in, confessed, and took the Persian cat away.

Sister Xin was stunned in place, and she still hasn't come back to her senses.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that Sister Xin looked up very nervously, looked at Lin Zhixuan and asked, "Auntie, Brother Yanting's mother, do you really want to kill you?" I looked, I saw that they were all very nice to me, not like wicked people. Moreover, and you are also very good to Brother Yanting on weekdays, and on weekdays, you also invite him to a banquet and drink, and personally handle the marriage for him, aren't we relatives, aren't we a family?"

Lin Zhixuan pulled Sister Xin to sit on the kang: "Sister Xin, we are relatives and a family, but my aunt didn't lie, his mother did almost kill me at the beginning, and she may not be murderous in the future." Can you understand?"

Sister Xin shook her head: "But, but we are a family." Why, why is this happening?"

Lin Zhixuan took Sister Xin into her arms with pity, and suddenly hesitated, she let her know if these would be bad at such a young age. Lin Zhixuan gently patted Sister Xin'er on the back: "Sister Xin, there are some things in this world that are so contrary to common sense. But since something has happened, we must face it bravely, and we can't blindly refuse to believe it and run away from it. ”

Sister Xin was silent for a long time, and Lin Zhixuan easily let her go and let her go with Sister Jiu.

Sister Xin looked at Lin Zhixuan, hesitated a little, and finally said the sentence: "Sister Xin will protect my aunt." ”

Lin Zhixuan didn't understand for a while.

Sister Xin repeated it more firmly: "If someone wants to harm my aunt in the future, Sister Xin will definitely protect my aunt!"

Lin Zhixuanfu took Sister Xin in her arms and hugged her again, and said, "Auntie knows that Sister Xin is the most sensible." ”

Lin Zhixuan let Sister Xin go out to play, and the Ninth Sister followed behind in a daze, her eyes were bright, but she didn't say a word, as if the words that the Ninth Sister said that surprised Lin Zhixuan were all hallucinations.

Lin Zhixuan also smiled and shook her head, how old is this little girl, how can she figure out so many entanglements of interests.

However, after Lin Zhixuan found out about Lin Yuanchuan and Wei Yanting's plans, she felt that this matter could not be delayed, and she must tell Wei Mingxu as soon as possible.

But I didn't want to, waiting for Wei Mingxu to come back at night, his face was just as ugly, Lin Zhixuan asked carefully, it turned out that in the court, today's ministers of the Ministry of Rites also wrote to mention this matter.

When the time comes, Wei Yanting will marry the princess and enter the palace to thank him.

But after all, Concubine Mu has not announced to the world that she has died, and according to the rules of the Ministry of Rites, there is no reason not to see her mother.

The Ministry of Rites wrote to ask how to deal with this matter, Wei Yanting stepped forward and cried with Wei Mingxu for a long time, saying that since the death of the first emperor, he had never seen his mother again, and begged Wei Mingxu to be kind and let Concubine Mu out.

Wei Mingxu is just a prince, even if he is a regent, there is no reason to care about the concubines of the first emperor, Wei Mingxu only said: "At that time, the first emperor passed away, and Concubine Mu did not abide by etiquette during the first emperor's funeral. At the beginning, she was already thinking that she was the biological mother of the king of Sujun, and she was meritorious in waiting for the first emperor, so she was only imprisoned for life, and was not executed. Now is the time for the king of Sujun to rejoice, and this sinner should not be mentioned. ”

Where was the king of Sujun willing to let go, he even entangled a group of ministers, wrote about etiquette and filial piety, and said that it was the matter of the concubine after all, and asked the queen mother to call the shots.

There were also a few old scholars who stood up and said: "When Concubine Mu was convicted and imprisoned, she never said what crime Concubine Mu committed, and she was not convicted by the Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department, so she was locked up for no explanation. It's really not very in line with the discipline of the imperial court, and now, the king of Sujun is getting married, and he wants to welcome back the concubine, which is also for the sake of etiquette and filial piety, and there is no big deal. ”

Later, a group of people pestered to find the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager only said that after the death of the first emperor, Concubine Mu did not wear linen and filial piety, wore red clothes, and wore red headdresses, which was a great disrespect to the first emperor, so she was imprisoned.

Instead, he concealed the humiliation of Lin Zhixuan and the purchase of murder, after all, if there were such rumors from the royal family, it would also make the people outside talk about it. Moreover, time has passed, and there is no evidence for a long time, and if you want to check again, it will inevitably involve other things. Even if it can't be found, it is just the words of Wei Mingxu's family, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors about revenge.

But Wei Yanting knelt in front of the Empress Dowager to plead, crying, and a group of ministers who had colluded with the Mu family in the past were also accompanied, kneeling outside the Cining Palace to plead, saying that the Empress Dowager was a bodhisattva and kind-hearted. He also said that the king of Sujun was for the sake of etiquette and filial piety, and asked the empress dowager to fulfill his filial piety.

There was a faint tendency to force the palace, Wei Mingxu was furious, reprimanded them twice, and asked Wang Jingsheng to lead people and drive Wei Yanting and the ministers out.

But he didn't want to, Wei Yanting actually planned to make things bigger, took the ordinary ministers, and regardless of his face, he knelt outside the Forbidden City and begged for his life. There was an uproar in the entire capital, and even the people knew about it.

Public opinion felt sorry for King Su Jun one-sidedly, and said that he was just wearing the wrong clothes, and now so many years have passed. Even the Empress Dowager is just a fake compassion, or a grandmother, but she refuses to fulfill the filial piety of her children and grandchildren.

Wei Mingxu didn't care about the other things, but he was afraid that if he continued to make such a fuss, he would tarnish the reputation of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has a high and bright life in this life, and Wei Mingxu respects her mother very much, where can she allow her reputation to be tarnished.

Only then did Lin Zhixuan understand the intention of Lu Yan's coming today, not to let herself intercede for her, and to intercede, they had already colluded with the ministers outside to do a good job, but they just used Lu Yan to report a letter to Lin Zhixuan, hoping that Lin Zhixuan could help persuade Wei Mingxu, so that Wei Mingxu's opposition to this matter would not be so strong, and they would be able to push the boat down the river.

Lin Zhixuan comforted Wei Mingxu for a few words before asking, "...... What is the prince going to do?"
