The guard stood outside the west door and replied with some hesitation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the palace, I'm afraid I don't know about it yet." ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly and said, "Please wait a while, Father-in-law Hua, I'll go change my clothes and come." After speaking, he got up and walked towards the West Warming Building.

On the second floor, Nuan Xin had already walked out of Shangguan Yun's room, and hurriedly greeted Lin Wan, his face full of worry, obviously having heard the guard's words.

Lin Wan returned to his room, did not rush to change clothes, slowly walked to the table and sat down, frowned and asked, "Warm heart, who is Gonggong Hua?

Wen Xin's brows furrowed, and he pondered thoughtfully for a moment before replying: "Father-in-law Hua is an old man who has been with the emperor for decades, and he is loyal to the emperor. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very respectful to Father-in-law Hua, and the relationship is not bad. Nuan Xiang is the closest to Grandpa Hua, and often makes some pastries to honor his old man. ”

Lin Wan nodded and commanded in a low voice: "Nuan Xin, you let Nuan Yi go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell him about the emperor's summoning of me." Let Nuan Xiang go out to meet Grandpa Hua again, probe Grandpa Hua's tone, and see what people the emperor has seen today, who are with the emperor now, and why the emperor suddenly summoned me. ”

Wen Xin memorized it silently, nodded in response, turned around and walked out of Lin Wan's room quickly, looking for Nuan Yi and Nuan Xiang to explain what Lin Wan had ordered.

Qingtong walked to Lin Wan's side and asked worriedly, "Miss, do you really want to go to see the emperor of Xiling Kingdom by yourself?" Do you want to wait for His Royal Highness Prince Ximen to come back before letting him accompany you?"

Lin Wan sighed lightly, stood up, and commanded softly, "Qingtong, help me change my clothes first." Nuan Yi has already gone to find Brother Simon, and he should be back soon. ”

Qingtong nodded, walked to the large wardrobe, opened the cabinet door, looked at the cabinet full of clothes, and didn't know which one to choose for a while. When Lin Wan came from the Great Seal Kingdom, he originally brought a lot of clothes. After coming here, I found that Ximen Yuqing also prepared a lot of clothes for her, and she changed one set every day, and it would not be the same for three months.

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "Just wear the new light green dress that Ying'er helped me make, I haven't worn it yet." ”

Qingtong immediately took out the light green dress with wide sleeves and narrow waist from the closet, walked to Lin Wan's side, and carefully helped her put it on.

Everything was ready, and Lin Wan sat at the table drinking tea unhurriedly. After waiting for a while, Nuan Xin walked in from outside, and her little face was covered with gloomy clouds.

Warmly and frustrated, he walked to Lin Wan's side and said in a low voice: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to Xiyan Mountain, and he was originally expected to come back the morning after tomorrow." Nuan Yi went to find Xinhu, and Xinhu had already gone to chase His Royal Highness the Prince, but he couldn't get back until tonight at the earliest. ”

Lin Wan nodded, and said in his heart, sure enough, everything was arranged, just waiting for Ximen Yuqing to make a move when he was away. Sooner or later, it was going to come, but Lin Wan didn't expect it to come so quickly. Lin Wan frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, and quietly waited for Nuan Xiang to inquire about the news.

The room was quiet, Lin Wan didn't speak, although Nuan Xin and Qingtong were anxious, they didn't dare to speak casually, and the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

After a while, Nuan Xiang hurriedly walked in from outside the door, bowed to Lin Wan, and said, "Miss, I sent some pastries and tea to Grandpa Hua, who is now resting in the observation pavilion outside the gate of the back garden." ”

Lin Wan looked at Nuan Xiang lightly, nodded with a smile, and motioned for Nuan Xiang to continue.

Nuan Xiang thought about what Father-in-law Hua had just said, and retold it locally: "I heard Father-in-law Hua say that the emperor went down to the court very early today, and it was Prime Minister Xu Cheng of Nanyue who accompanied the emperor back to the imperial study. Later, Princess Ziyu of Nanyue also came. Father-in-law Hua said that when he left the imperial study, the two of them had not left. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, stood up, smiled faintly, and ordered: "Warm heart, Qingtong, you two go with me." I also want to meet the emperor of Xiling Kingdom, as well as Prime Minister Xu Cheng and Princess Ziyu of Nanyue Kingdom, I want to see what they want to do to me. ”

Qingtong was in a hurry when he heard this, and blurted out to persuade: "Miss, do you really want to go?" Prime Minister Xu Cheng and Princess Ziyu of Nanyue Kingdom are here, they will definitely let the emperor of Xiling Kingdom kill you, and when His Royal Highness Prince Ximen comes back, you ......."

Nuan Xin also nodded, and echoed: "Miss, you can find an excuse to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back and then go to see the emperor." As long as you don't go out, even Grandpa Hua won't come into this back garden. ”

Lin Wan shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace, if I don't go out, the emperor will definitely send the palace guards to arrest me for the crime of resisting the decree." Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter this back garden without permission, if it is really the emperor's holy decree, the guards outside do not dare to do anything with the emperor's people. If the two sides get into a stalemate, it will only make things worse and out of control. ”

Hearing this, he lowered his head and did not persuade again. She knew in her heart that what Lin Wan said was not wrong, and Lin Wan thought very clearly and thoroughly. The relationship between the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very complicated, and outsiders may not know it, but as a warm-hearted person who has been by His Royal Highness the Prince's side for many years, he knows it in his heart.

However, this time, if Lin Wan made any mistakes, how would they explain to His Royal Highness the Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Lin Wan so much, even if he didn't want their lives, the result would definitely be worse than death.

Lin Wan walked to the dresser, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled. Then, turning around leisurely, walking briskly towards the door.

Nuan Xin and Qingtong silently followed behind Lin Wan, and they each made up their minds that if something happened to Lin Wan, they would desperately protect Lin Wan and bring her back safely.

Lin Wan maintained a faint smile on his face, his steps were calm and gentle, and he walked outside the gate of the back garden, his expression did not change at all, he was still smiling and calm.

When Father-in-law Hua saw Lin Wan come out, he also got up and walked out of the observation pavilion, standing on the mountain road with his head held high, looking at Lin Wan from a distance, squinting his eyes and looking at her carefully.

Lin Wan walked in front of Father-in-law Hua, curtsied, and said politely: "Folk girl Wei Qiniang, I have seen Father-in-law Hua." Let my father-in-law wait for a long time, please forgive my father-in-law. ”

Father-in-law Hua glanced at Lin Wan lightly, and said coldly: "Miss Wei, please hurry up and go with the family." It doesn't matter if you let the family wait for a long time, let the emperor wait for a long time, but it will be your life. With that, he turned around and strode in the direction of the palace.
