Chapter Eighty-Eight: Water Lilies
Lin Jianzhi knew that in the past year, Yan Xinmei was able to stay safe and sound in the prince's mansion because her mother and grandfather both thought that she was just an insignificant plaything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Once Yan Xinmei has a name, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of all forces, and in the future, she will be at a loss to be involved in one terrible conspiracy after another between the main concubine, the side concubine, the concubine, and the concubine.
In addition, the queen mother and maternal grandfather would never allow the most trusted maid in the palace to enter the palace and become the woman standing behind Lin Jianzhi, let alone have his bloodline.
Blood?
Lin Jianzhi was a little uneasy at first...... Yan Xinmei didn't care about him all along, why did she start asking him for a name?
Lin Jianzhi has always been very careful about sexual intercourse with Yan Xinmei, and every time he has a decoction afterwards, he watches her take it with his own eyes, Yan Xinmei always drinks the decoction in one go, as if it is just a bowl of light tea.
However, there are always accidents in everything, and Yan Xinmei is really pregnant.
Lin Jian's heart was full of joy and sorrow, if Yan Xinmei wanted to give birth to an heir for him, the queen mother and grandfather would have to pass it.
The mother was furious and accused him of luring the wolf into the house, while his grandfather stated the pros and cons and warned him not to lose a big one because of a small one, so that Lin Ziyan had the upper hand.
Between the verbal disputes between the two sides, Lin Jianzhi was shocked to learn that Yan Xinmei's father, Yan Guzhou, was actually a small document under the account of Wu Ren, the county guard of Yanzhou, and at this time, his grandfather had asked Wu Ren to set up a bureau.
On the way home, Lin Jianzhi was irritable. Although the clerical position is low, but between the pen and ink, there are important letters from the county government, if Wu Ren is guilty, Yan Guzhou will not be spared, at that time, how should he explain to Yan Xinmei?
However, the court party struggle is different from the love of children, Lin Jianzhi, as the crown prince, naturally knows which is more important, and after thinking about it all night, he made up his mind to firmly hide everything from Yan Xinmei. Lin Jianzhi felt that after Yan Xinmei gave birth to the child in her womb, even if she learned that Yan Guzhou was convicted, she would look at the child's face and not worry too much about him.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Yan Xinmei suddenly knelt down and begged Lin Jianzhi to rescue Yan Guzhou. Lin Jianzhi pretended to agree again and again, but his heart was full of doubts. Yan Xinmei was trapped in the prince's mansion and never had contact with outsiders, and the news that Yan Guzhou was about to be convicted was obviously deliberately passed on to her. And the mastermind behind this matter, except for his mother and grandfather, Lin Jianzhi couldn't imagine that there would be a third person.
Sure enough, the queen mother summoned him into Fengxin Hall and ordered him to abandon Yan Xinmei and the child in her womb. After returning home, Lin Jianzhi threw all the portraits of the concubines into the lotus pond.
Since then, Lin Jianzhi has become more and more nervous about Yan Xinmei, and is always wary of strangers approaching her. The queen mother saw that Lin Jianzhi was extremely stubborn, and finally she didn't want to be separated from him because of a woman, so her attitude was a little loose. But when his grandfather mentioned Yan Xinmei, he still seemed worried, which made Lin Jianzhi quite dissatisfied.
After a few days, Yan Xinmei's abdomen gradually bulged, her appetite was slightly better than before, and there was occasionally a smile in her eyes. Looking at Yan Xinmei with a smile, Lin Jian's heart was very satisfied, and he only hoped to be able to have her quietly like this until he was old.
After Wu Renshen was beheaded, Yan Guzhou, together with everyone in the house, was sentenced to be assigned to Wumenshan. In order to destroy Wu Renshen's side branch for his heart of Zhaoxue, his maternal grandfather secretly assigned Wang Yuli, the capital of Yanzhou, to scuttle the exiled ship halfway, and Yan Guzhou was buried underwater.
Lin Jianzhi didn't expect his grandfather to act so decisively, and strictly forbade people in the mansion to talk about Wu Renshen's case, but Yan Xinmei still heard that the exiles were buried under the water. When she looked at him with a pale face, leaning on the door frame, and looking at him in despair, Lin Jianzhi only felt that her heart, together with her heart, was shattered.
Yan Xinmei fell softly in his arms, her eyes were empty, and a piece of red gradually oozed from under her body. Lin Jianzhi had never seen such a shocking red, as if it could bring his soul into the Infernal Hell.
Lin Jianzhi frantically called his subordinates to find the imperial doctor, his whole body trembled, and he was terrified. The imperial doctor hurriedly came, but whether it was to give Yan Xinmei an injection or take medicine, she did not respond.
Lin Jianzhi hugged Yan Xinmei, feeling that her limbs were getting colder, he couldn't help jumping like thunder, roaring and asking his subordinates to find charcoal, everyone looked at each other and trembled.
At that time, the window was full of greenery, and the leaves were not yellow.
The subordinates finally listened to the words of the imperial doctor and invited Wen Po, who said to Lin Jian with a white face, "The prince mourns." ”
"Festival mourning?" Lin Jianzhi's forehead was drenched in sweat and his hands and feet were at a loss.
This is Lin Jianzhi's first child, Yan Xinmei once showed a smile because of this child, and Lin Jianzhi also happily imagined his cute appearance, but now, everything has come to naught. After Yan Xinmei woke up, how should he explain to her? Her father, her children, are gone...... How should he explain it to her?
Lin Jianzhi almost pinched Wen Po's shoulder, and roared angrily, "I want this child! If he is gone, your whole clan will bury him!"
"Prince," Wen Po fell to her knees with her legs weak, and said tremblingly, "If it is too late, this girl's life will not be saved......"
Lin Jian was stunned and sat on the ground.
Lin Jianzhi was often worried that Lin Yiren would come up with some way to bring Yan Xinmei back to the Imperial Palace, but he never thought that one day, Yan Xinmei would leave him in such a way.
Looking at the room full of lowered heads, Lin Jianzhi walked out of the Wujue Pavilion in a dejected manner. Yan Xinmei, if she leaves, the sky outside the courtyard wall will reflect the red blood?
It seems that after many days and nights, Yan Xinmei finally woke up. However, her clear and soft eyes had become trance-like, and she no longer hated him, nor was she afraid of him, nor avoided him, because she no longer knew him, nor did she recognize anyone...... Yan Xinmei finally became the deepest thorn in Lin Jian's heart, making him bloody and painful.
From beginning to end, Lin Jian Zhidu knew that the person who let Yan Xinmei know the truth that day was his maternal grandfather Yuan Muhuai.
"Jiangshan, beauty, which is more important?"
"Jiangshan!"
Since he was a child, Yuan Muhuai only taught him this answer, the only answer.
Two years ago, Lin Jianzhi finally had to choose a concubine, looking at the woman who was still as quiet as a water lily even though she was delirious, Lin Jianzhi finally chose to let go.
He knew that the only way he could protect Yan Xinmei was to send her out of this place of power strife, otherwise, she would fall into an even more miserable situation because of his love.
He abandoned her to protect her. Lin Jian stood under the moonlight, smiling bleakly, like a white moon in the sky.
Lin Jianzhi secretly bought a house in Yifan, which was not too far from Xiao'an, and quietly sent someone to send Yan Xinmei out of the prince's mansion. Since then, he has never seen her again, and the house called Xinmei Garden has become a place of concern in his heart day and night.
When selecting the crown princess, Lin Jianzhi finally disobeyed the wishes of his mother and grandfather, and wrote Ling Xinmei's name on the silk silk. Ling Xinmei, gentle and dignified, does not seem to be a woman with scheming and means, for Lin Jianzhi, it doesn't matter whether she is satisfied or dissatisfied, but her father is obviously very satisfied.
Later, Lin Jianzhi accepted two more side concubines, namely Lu Yurong, the granddaughter of Lu Liangli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Hua Xinyu, the granddaughter of Taishi Huasheng.
Lu Yurong is charming and moving, Hua Xinyu is smart and delicate, but Lin Jianzhi's mind is always on Yan Xinmei. In the past two years, Ling Xinmei, Lu Yurong, and Hua Xinyu have rarely seen Lin Jianzhi in the courtyard, let alone staying overnight to raise children.
The Prince's Mansion has not come out for many years, which makes Yuan Tingyi and Yuan Muhuai quite anxious, and even Lin Qitan will occasionally ask about it.
Lin Jianzhi's lingering dance pavilion was finally pierced, and Lin Qitan was furious and ordered Lin Jianzhi to close the door and introspect. On the day of the closed door, Lin Jianzhi ordered his subordinates to remove the lotus flowers in the house and plant water lilies instead, just because Yan Xinmei once told her subordinates that she loved water lilies the most.
One day, two days, Lin Jianzhi looked at a pool of lotus leaves, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Water lilies bloom longer than lotus flowers, which is really good.
