Chapter 20: Demonstrations (2)

When I came to the hall, I saw Xiahou Yichen dressed in a dark green gorgeous brocade robe, standing with his back to the door, looking around at the Lin Mansion with his head bored. Xiyan and Dongfan stood respectfully to the side.

"Participate in the prince, I don't know that the prince is driving, the old minister has missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." Lin Lanhai said and took Wu and other wives and concubines to kneel and salute.

Xiahou Yichen turned around and raised his sword eyebrows slightly, his handsome face showed an evil smile, and his whole body exuded a bewitching aura. It makes people feel a sense of crisis when they look at it.

At such a close distance, Lin Qingyue was stunned at the moment, and she didn't know how to salute. Wu pulled the side before pulling her to kneel. "Mother, what are you doing?" Lin Qingyue was displeased, and asked in a low voice.

"Shut up and kneel honestly."

This kind of situation has long been commonplace for Xiahou Yichen. Ignoring everyone and turning to Lin Xiaoyou, he found the swelling on her face and a few bruises on her neck, the smile on her face immediately turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Come here"

"Didn't you hear the king calling you over?" Seeing that Lin Xiaoyou ignored him, he said in an accentuated tone, his eyes flashing with forbearance of anger.

"I'm fine." Lin Xiaoyou replied, pacing over.

Xiahou Yichen looked carefully, sat down in the position at will, looked at the kneeling people below and was silent for a long time, his fingertips tapping on the table intentionally or unintentionally, not in a hurry and with a sense of rhythm. Before he even spoke, he gave an irresistible deterrent.

The people kneeling below, except for Lin Lanhai, who had a little self-control and was more calm, the others were either kneeling on the ground and trembling, or secretly sweating in a cold sweat, and they were scared a lot. Feeling that his legs and feet began to be numb, it was not a way to kneel like this, Wu quietly calculated in his heart, the matter was caused by her, anyway, Lin Xiaoyou hated her, so she would resist all the charges. made up his mind, looked up and said, "Lord Wang, Xiao Yu her"

"Wait a minute" Xiahou Yichen coldly interrupted Wu's words, thinking that someone was more anxious than him, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "Dongfan, step forward and give this king a slap until Mrs. Lin realizes that she is wrong and stops." "He's not a vegetarian, and he's looking for an opportunity to frustrate these people's spirits. Since he bumped into him, he can't blame him.

Wu's face turned pale with fright, she just wanted to explain that the injuries on Lin Xiaoyou's body were all caused by her, what was wrong?

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Dong Fan stepped forward in response, and greeted Wu in the face without mercy.

"Bang Bang," a few slaps in a row, and the force in Dong Fan's hand directly knocked Wu Shi over and crawled to the ground, seeing that his face was deformed and swollen. "The prince spares his life, the women know their mistakes! The prince spares his life, the women know their mistakes! While talking, he kept kowtowing, and the rest of the people could only watch, who dared to intercede.

"Really? What's wrong with that? Xiahou Yichen asked casually.

"The wound on Xiaoyou's face was done by the people's women, and the people's women deserve to die! The women are snobbish, and they don't know Mount Tai with their eyes. ”

"Dongfan"

With an order, Dongfan was about to continue to shoot, and Wu reacted immediately, and said in horror: "The folk woman knows her mistake, and the folk woman should not call the princess by her name." After speaking, she felt that Dongfan's slap didn't fall before she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, just these few slaps were enough for her, and if she continued to fight, how could she still be killed.

"Hehe, it seems that Mrs. Lin does realize that she is wrong." Xiahou Yichen said and made a look at Dongfan to retreat. Then he continued: "Originally, your family affairs were not in the king's control, but now that Xiaoyu is the princess of this king, her status is naturally different, so where do you put this king in this way?" You can't afford to be charged with the following crimes, right? ”

The words frightened everyone and made them tremble, and they didn't dare to come out. "By the way, what did Mrs. Lin want to say just now?" It's time to cut to the chase, Xiahou Yichen asked curiously.

"The women of the people are fine." was beaten so much, how dare you talk nonsense.

"Oh" Xiahou Yichen nodded, "It's okay, but this king seems to remember that you said that the injury on the princess's body was caused by you, could it be that the king heard it wrong?" As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Xiyan and Dongfan next to him, "Did you hear that?" ”

Obviously a sure thing, and pretending to know nothing, a very innocent expression, the corners of Xiyan and Dongfan's mouths twitched, and a thought appeared in their hearts at the same time: It seems that someone is going to suffer again.

"Hey, it's a pity, I'm not here, if only he were there." Xiahou Yichen sighed to himself. "Forget it, it's better for you to come on, ask Mrs. Lin which hand she hits, just chop which hand, your swordsmanship won't hurt too much." Then Xiyan rewarded Mrs. Lin with the itching powder you brought to stop the bleeding. ”

"Ahh Don't, lord. I pinched the wound on the princess's neck, and it was none of my mother's business. Lin Qingyue argued.

"Nonsense, there's no place for you to talk here." Although Wu Shi was so frightened that he went limp, he still reached out to cover Lin Qingyue's mouth and stop her from speaking.

Xiahou Yichen smiled: "Oh, it's so simple, then let's be punished together!" In short, there is itchy powder, and it will not let you lose too much blood and die. It is a good medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and after using it, it will only itch, not pain. ”

So far, how can Lin Lanhai stay out of the matter, kowtow and say: "The old minister is guilty, and the minister is all to blame, so he offended the princess." Please also ask the prince not to embarrass my family, all the blame will be borne by the old minister. ”。

"Hmph, Lord Lin has a big tone, and your style of acting, this king also knows a little. Do you really think that this king will not dare to deal with you? Xiahou Yichen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said sharply.

"The old minister doesn't dare." said it on his lips, but he thought in his heart, how to say that he is also the minister of the central government, Xiaoyou is also his daughter, and now he is married to the Taishi, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, just with these relationships, I believe he will not be too embarrassed.

Where would Xiahou Yichen eat his set, and he was bored and supported his head with his hands. "I wonder how many daughters Lord Lin has?"

Lin Xiaoyu looked at him puzzled, an irrelevant question, and didn't understand why he asked like this.

"This" I don't know what his idea is, Lin Lanhai couldn't figure it out in his heart, and he didn't answer for a while.

"Hehe, the young lady next to Mrs. Lin should be your pearl Lin Qingyue, then the king wants to ask Lord Lin, who is Yi Wenqi, the son who married Mrs. Yi a few days ago?" Xiahou Yichen's eyes were like torches, and he deliberately stretched his neck to look at Lin Qingyue, a smiling tiger alive.

Feeling that searching gaze, Lin Qingyue had already lost all her thoughts, and lowered her head tightly in cringe. Lin Lanhai was also a little irresistible and secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead, he didn't understand what Xiahou Yichen meant. originally planned to let Xiaoyou marry on his behalf, stabilized Yi Hongyuan, and sent Qingyue to the palace, so that he could be described as fame and fortune. Who knows, this qiē backfired, and seeing that the marriage date was approaching, he had to find a girl, and nominally accepted him as a righteous daughter to marry to the Taishi Mansion. What's even more unexpected is that Lin Xiaoyou escaped from marriage and became a princess. In the days to come, I'm afraid that I will struggle in dire straits,

"It's Qianqian, the righteous daughter of the minister" After hesitating for a moment, Lin Lanhai finally spoke.

When the words fell, Lin Xiaoyou suddenly stood up, bit his lip and was stunned for a long time, and said, "You're talking about it once." ”

Lin Lanhai frowned, and explained carefully: "It's the Qianqian who was sent to serve you before." ”

"Hahahaha" Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyou laughed angrily, and his body trembled slightly, which made people feel infinitely sad.

This is her family, who will do anything for fame and fortune. Thinking of Qianqian's burden for her, Lin Xiaoyou felt indescribable bitterness and hatred in her heart. If only her mother was here, she would definitely ask her, has she ever regretted following such a person? "Dad, am I really that annoying to you? You don't even let go of people who have been in contact with me. ”

"Xiaoyu"

"Shut up" glass-like eyes looked coldly at the person in front of him, and coldly spit out two words. It's really ridiculous, just looking at Lin Lanhai, who was forced by Xiahou Yichen and was powerless, she couldn't bear to want to stop. Come to think of it, I couldn't have been more wrong.

She really shouldn't be spending it here, and her blind tolerance will only be exchanged for excessive bullying by others. "You forced me, I really thought I didn't know that Sister Lan Yu was captured by you. Dongfan, Xiyan, the two of you will immediately go to the dungeon to rescue Sister Lan Yu. After speaking, he pleaded with Xiahou Yichen and said: "Lord, for my sake, I hope you will raise your noble hand and let them go once this time." ”

Xiahou Yichen looked at her in surprise, this woman is crazy, these people treat her like this and plead for them, "Do you really plan to let them go this time?" He asked incredulously.

"Yes"

"Then take your shoulders!"

"Xiaoyou" heard her help and pleaded, Lin Lanhai raised his head and shouted, feeling ashamed in his heart.

Lin Xiaoyou pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't think that I am pleading for you to forgive you," he said, picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it hard, then picked up a piece of splinter and cut it in his palm.

"What are you doing?" Xiahou Yichen jumped up from his seat, took her hand and looked at the sticky red gushing out and asked.

Lin Xiaoyou silently withdrew his hand, walked to Lin Lanhai's side, clenched his fists and let the blood drip on the ground in front of him bit by bit. Closed his eyes and took a deep breath, when he opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, and he said in a deep voice: "I, Lin Xiaoyu, swear by blood here, and from now on I will break off my relationship with the Lin Mansion, and I will never step into the Lin Mansion in the future." ”

Lin Lanhai's face changed, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth to restrain his feelings, while the others present became dumbfounded.

Outside the "Miss", Dongfan and Xiyan came over with Lan Yu and happened to bump into this scene. Lan Yu rushed forward with a scream, breaking her hand, and a bleeding wound was shocking.

Seeing Lan Yu's haggard appearance and anxious expression, Lin Xiaoyou hugged her and comforted, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

"It's okay, this king thinks you don't want to die." Xiahou Yichen took the hemostatic medicine handed over by Xiyan, took her hand without saying anything, and sprinkled the medicine on the wound. "This medicine works very well, stop the bleeding first, and when I return home, I will find a doctor to bandage it well."

Lin Xiaoyou nodded and gave Xia Hou a grateful look. If it weren't for him, I don't know what it would have been like today. Seeing that Lan Yu was fine, she felt a lot more relieved.

"You've got it done. In the long run, I will redouble the pain you have inflicted on me. Resolutely threw down the words, pulled Lan Yu and left.

"Hey, Lord Lin, you will have to ask for more blessings in the future. If Mrs. Lin is fine, she will worship the Bodhisattva and pray for blessings, but it is not always so lucky, and it is better to do less things to hide from the world. Before leaving, Xiahou Yichen did not forget to ring the alarm bell, the voice was not loud, but it clearly fell into everyone's ears.

After they had been gone for a long time, the people of the Lin Mansion got up one by one in shock. Wu rubbed his sore legs, and went to help Lin Lanhai, who was still kneeling, "Master, get up." ”

Lin Lanhai looked at the blood stains on the ground sluggishly, and muttered: "It's over, it's all over" It's not easy to get to where you are today in the officialdom for decades. Now these things suddenly appear, and it will be over. His plans, his hard work, will be in vain, which is how willing he is.

"Sir, sir." Wu slapped him in the face and shouted. Seeing that there was no response, he had to order the person next to him: "Come here and help help the master up." ”

After kneeling for so long, I felt that my legs were not my own, and I didn't have the strength to help them, and a few concubines complained that they were carried back to the room by the maid, and a few other people came in to help Lin Lanhai pick up and send him back to the room to rest.
