Nangong Liuxi wiped a handful of tears, raised his head to look at Lin Yibing, thinking of poor Lin Yichen, he couldn't help but close his eyes, tears ran down his cheeks, making Lin Yibing sigh.

"Queen Mother, don't be too sad. It's all fate, admit it. ”

"Admit it?!" Nangong Liuxi's voice was higher than Lin Yibing's, he glared at his frightened expression in disgust, and said sharply: "You came to me today just to say this!" ”

"Oops, Queen Mother!" Lin Yibing stomped his foot anxiously, took a step forward and half-knelt beside Nangong Liuxi, and said, "What do you want to do today?" If I anger my father again, then maybe, maybe I will be the next one to die, we ......"

"Enough! Get out of here! Nangong Liuxi couldn't listen to a word Lin Yibing said anymore, and stretched out his hand to push him away from his side, Nangong Liuxi said angrily: "I don't want to see you again, get out!" ”

Before Lin Yibing could say a few words, he asked Nangong Liuxi to drive him away. Standing at the door of the hall, he looked back at the closed door, sighed and walked away with his head down.

Although Nangong Liuxi drove Lin Yibing away, what he said was always in Nangong Liuxi's head.

Resigned to fate? How could she be willing? In a short period of time, the elder brother died, and the son was gone. Now my father and younger brother, who are far away at the border, still don't know whether they are alive or dead, and I don't know what the emperor will do with them. Is it all fate? Should the people of their Nangong family be like this? When he laid down this country, was it to die at the hands of Lin Yunlong? How can she admit this kind of life?

Nangong Liuxi's feelings for Lin Yunlong have long gone from the initial admiration to the later coldness, and then to today's hatred. It's not a good way, but she never thought that she would come to such an embarrassment. His son was his last hope, but now that he doesn't even have this thought, Nangong Liuxi can't help but be a little desperate. She hoped that someone would stand up and tell her that Lin Yichen was not dead, and she still had hope. But she never heard it. Even Luo Yunzheng, who she found to save Lin Yichen, had nowhere to go.

Luo Yunzheng returned to the capital, but there has been no accurate news to prove whether the prince is dead or alive, and where he is. He didn't dare to go to see the queen easily, for fear of any more trouble, Luo Yunzheng had been busy with them for so long, and he felt more or less tired and tired.

Everyone remembered that Lin Yunlong had said a sentence above the main hall. In the Nangong family, one person is guilty, and the whole family is beheaded.

Just when people were still worried or in a lively mood, wanting to continue to see how the emperor would deal with those who had not yet been disposed of, a thunderbolt news came out of the palace.

Your Majesty, you have died.

This incident was unexpected by anyone, including the queen, the princes, and Liu Lei, who had been serving by Lin Yunlong's side.

Looking at Lin Yunlong, who was not angry at all on the dragon bed, Liu Lei's eyes were red from crying. Kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, he looked at Lin Yunlong intently, and tried several times to confirm whether he still had a breathing pulse, but the fact made Liu Lei desperate.

Obviously, I was fine yesterday, and I was full of energy, why did I sleep and the person was gone......

The princes and ministers who rushed to the palace after hearing the news were all left without a master after seeing the emperor's remains. There have been so many things that have happened lately, and every single one of them is something they can't imagine. Lin Yunlong's tough and ruthless style has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in the eyes of these people, Lin Yunlong will definitely not be the one who died early, but the world is unpredictable, the most unlikely person to die died like this.

As soon as Lin Yunlong died, Lin Yixiang couldn't say what it was like in his heart. He should be happy, but with a hint of unease.

The emperor died, and the country could not be without a king for a day, which meant that the prince was about to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. But Lin Yixiang has no bottom at all, and even like Liu Lei, he doubts Lin Yunlong's life and death, suspecting that this is a conspiracy.

Crying could be heard everywhere in the palace, and the concubines wept that they had lost their husbands, and worried about their future fate, wondering whether they would be the one who accompanied the burial, or the one who stayed in the palace, or was sent home; The princes wept that they had lost their father, and they were afraid that the new emperor would be dissatisfied with them after he ascended the throne, and took the opportunity to eradicate him; The ministers cried that they had lost their masters, knowing that the court would soon have a big change, and it was still unknown whether their official functions could be kept.

When Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang entered the palace, many people had already come first. Kneeling outside the door, all of them had sad emotions on their faces. Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang walked into the room, looked at Liu Lei kneeling in front of the bed, and frowned.

As soon as Liu Lei saw these two coming, he quickly got up and stood aside.

Lin Yixiang looked at the person on the bed with doubts, then looked at Liu Lei, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Father-in-law, can those people from the Taiyi Palace come to see it?" Didn't my father do well yesterday? ”

"Back to the prince, the imperial doctors have already seen it, and they can't find out the cause of death." Liu Lei's voice was a little trembling when he spoke, he lowered his head, Lin Yixiang couldn't see the expression on his face, but he also knew that this old slave had always been loyal to Lin Yunlong, and he must have felt very uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't ask too much.

Liu Lei didn't say much, and Lin Yinan didn't ask anything in front of Lin Yixiang. But when Lin Yixiang walked out of the alley, Lin Yinan walked in front of Liu Lei in a few steps, lowered his voice and asked, "The imperial doctors can't find out the cause of death, can't you find out Gonggong Liu?" ”

Liu Lei raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yinan, shook his head, didn't say anything, pursed his lips and lowered his head again.

When Lin Yixiang came in again, what he saw was Liu Lei and Lin Yinan standing opposite each other, and the two of them didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" His eyes twinkled, and he asked.

"It's okay, I just want to ask him some details, but my father-in-law is heartbroken and can't remember anything for a while."

Lin Yinan opened his mouth to answer, looking at the bruises and scars that could still be faintly seen on Lin Yixiang's face, and said in a low mood: "I'm going out to breathe." ”

In the Eight Emperors' Mansion, Lu Zhiyao, who did not enter the palace with Lin Yinan, was a little upset and irritable. Dead, how could he die like this?

After walking around the mansion a few times, Lu Zhiyao saw He Xiaobai sitting in the garden with his head bowed and silent. After a pause, she changed direction and walked towards He Xiaobai.

"He Lao, you ...... Okay? Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice.

He Xiaobai glanced up at Lu Zhiyao, and replied with a smile: "Okay, how can it be bad." The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the old man I don't know how many people I sent away. ”

How much sadness and helplessness are contained in these words, how could Lu Zhiyao not hear it. This is an old man who has experienced too much life and death, but what he has in his heart is not the joy of surviving, but the sadness of those who have died.

Lu Zhiyao thought that He Xiaobai must be a very smart person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived so long, even if he had a good kung fu, but the higher a person stands, the easier it is to fall worse, just like Lin Yunlong. What's more, He Xiaobai can endure loneliness all the time, and living in that secret passage for so long is not something that anyone can do.

"Girl." Just as Lu Zhiyao was pondering, He Xiaobai asked. "Do you hate the emperor?"

Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and replied habitually politely: "What is this old man talking about, my father is the emperor, he is the emperor......"

"Tell the truth." He Xiaobai thought about Lu Zhiyao's words with a serious expression, and asked again.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, and then replied slowly: "Hate, hate." Not only because my father threw me into the secret room, but there were other reasons as well. But I also know that no one in this world is born to die. Whoever has their helplessness. ”

How could she not hate? Lin Yunlong didn't deserve to die, but how many of his relatives died at Lin Yunlong's hands?

He Xiaobai nodded approvingly, "It seems that it is not unreasonable for the eighth child to choose you." ”

He Xiaobai muttered, then stood up and said to Lu Zhiyao, "Play a game of chess with me." ”

"Now?"

"Now."

Lu Zhiyao couldn't understand He Xiaobai's thoughts, and he had nothing to do now, so he followed him.

He Xiaobai was playing chess with Lu Zhiyao while thinking about Lin Yunlong. It was the apprentice he brought with him, and he was also his most proud student. Lin Yunlong became the emperor, and he was happy. Lin Yunlong killed innocents indiscriminately, he was worried.

Single-minded, the result was that He Xiaobai actually lost to Lu Zhiyao.

Such an ending made He Xiaobai couldn't help laughing twice, and then under Lu Zhiyao's gaze, he left lonely.

Lu Zhiyao didn't even scream a few times and didn't see He Xiaobai turn around, he just waved at Lu Zhiyao, signaling that she didn't have to follow.

It was destined to be a busy day, from early morning to night.

It was dark, the temperature dropped a lot, and people had to add a few extra clothes.

The wind was howling, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Lu Zhiyao leaned against the door with his clothes draped and waited for Lin Yinan, knowing that he would not come back today, but he still wanted to stand here. The coolness of the air cleared her mind, and she always felt like it was about to snow.

The news of the emperor's death did not let the people know so quickly. There have been too many things that have made people feel uneasy recently, and now that the emperor is dead, it will definitely cause panic. And once it is known by the Qing Ying Kingdom, the other party will never let go of such a good opportunity.

Lu Zhiyao waited until late and was about to turn around and go back, when Lin Yinan suddenly came back with a tired body. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's waiting figure, Lin Yinan's body was stunned, and then he quickened his pace and walked over.

"Why don't you come in?" Taking Lu Zhiyao's cold hand, Lin Yinan pushed the door open.

"It's stuffy in the room, and I can't stay still." Lu Zhiyao obediently followed behind him, watching his hand being held in his hand, and his heart finally warmed up after a day of coldness.

"Why are you back?"

"I'm tired." As soon as Lu Zhiyao spoke, he was interrupted by Lin Yinan. The weight of his body was exerted on Lu Zhiyao's body, and Lin Yinan leaned his head on her shoulder, "Don't say anything, stay with me." ”
