After Lin Luo and Lin Xun walked into the Maoxin Palace, they found that there was no one inside, there was no king in the main hall, the throne was empty, and there were no maids and eunuchs around. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The two of them looked at each other without saying a word, their faces were very calm, and they turned around and walked towards the warm pavilion on the west side.

The early sun slanted horizontally, through the window lattice, and shone into this elegant room. On the incense on the ground, incense curls, and when the white smoke rises into the air, it meets the sunlight that shines obliquely, interspersed, and changes color in an instant, making it transparent and illusory. In the small warm pavilion, there was silence.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun walked into it side by side, and at the end of their sight, there was an old man half-leaning on the soft couch, with gray temples and a tired face, looking very sad and tired, looking straight ahead, as if frozen, motionless.

"Meet the King." Lin Luo and Lin Xun said in unison, their voices were weak, and they knelt down in front of the king. Both of them bowed their heads and remained silent, waiting for the king to speak.

From the time the two of them entered the door until they knelt down, there had already been some movement, but the king did not move as if he hadn't heard, his expression was still staring at the ground in front of him, and the sad state on his face had been replaced by calm and deep, and within a moment, he regained the calm and composure of the king.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun lowered their heads slightly, because they couldn't tell what the king meant, so they didn't dare to speak.

The king's gaze finally moved to the two of them, and after a long time, his voice was slightly hoarse: "You two...... Get up. ”

Hearing this, the two looked slightly surprised, glanced at each other, and then looked at the king, but still did not get up.

"Okay, if you don't get up, don't get up, I have something to ask you." His eyes were lowered as he looked down at the two young men on the ground, and there was no hint of blame in his tone. However, when Lin Luo and Lin Xun heard this, a trace of panic flashed on their faces.

"I already know about the theft of the East Palace last night. I also know that the jade seal is in the hands of the two of you. However, don't be in a hurry to panic, and don't rush to confess and plead, I just want to know something. He said slowly, "Lin Xun, the master in your senior sister's mouth is your father, right?" ”

Lin Xun raised his head, met the king's gaze, and nodded seriously.

"Then can you tell me who your father is?" He stretched his neck forward, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "He wants this jade seal...... Why? ”

Lin Xun already understood what the king meant in his heart, the king was suspecting that his father was the royal family of the southern kingdom, and he suspected that his father had bad intentions to ask for this jade seal. In this regard, Lin Xun had no way to avoid suspicion, and told the king innocently:

"Father Lin Su, who was a person from Jiuqin, traveled all over the world when he was young, knew a little about medicine, was good at practicing martial arts, and later formed his own faction and founded the Linmen swordsmanship. After marrying his mother, he settled his home in Xizhou, but the Linmen Sword Sect was on the Red Mountain of Jiuqin. My sister and I practiced martial arts in Hongshan when we were young, and then we came to Xizhou. As for the jade seal......"

He frowned slightly, and bowed his head to the ground, "Please forgive the king, in fact, the person who wants this jade seal is not my father, but ...... Mother. ”

"Mother?" The king's voice was raised, his face changed slightly, and he straightened up from the couch, "Your mother, who is it?" ”

Lin Xun slowly raised his head and looked up at the king from the bottom up, "Mother is...... The mother is a maid in the Nanguo Palace and a nurse next to the queen. ”

Hearing this, the king's upright body relaxed slightly, and he sighed lightly, his face seemed to be a little disappointed, but he was still slightly surprised and pleased to hear that she was the maid beside the queen. After easing his expression, he stretched out his sleeves and motioned for Lin Xun to straighten up.

Seeing that the king was not to blame, Lin Xun straightened up from the ground. The two of them were still kneeling on the ground, Lin Luo had already sensed something in his heart, the king obviously knew their origins, but he was not angry, nor surprised, as if he had not participated in the Battle of Nanxi many years ago, or did he no longer mind this?

Having said that, it is reasonable that the king has no mustard for this, after all, the battle of Nanxi was a battle between Xizhou and Nanguo, and Liang Yu just sent reinforcements. If you want to say that there is a friendship between the two countries, but after many years, whether the friendship between the two kings of Xizhou and Liangyu is still as reliable as it was at the beginning, it is another matter.

But looking at the situation at the moment, the two kings are afraid that they have not been in contact with each other for many years, and the king does not show much worry about the matter of the jade seal.

"Nurse...... The nurse beside Qiu Ci ......" The king muttered, and asked another question, but this time, he obviously lacked confidence, and he didn't seem to dare to ask, and said cautiously, "That...... That Queen Qiuci, is she still alive? ”

He looked at them expectantly, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be lit with light, flashing a rare trace of clarity and innocence, and his whole countenance was rejuvenated. The old man, who was over fifty years old, stretched his neck like a child, and waited, he did not speak, waited, just waited......

"Queen Qiuci, it's no longer ......" After a long time, Lin Xun said gloomily.

Queen Qiuci is no longer there......

Even though he knew that it was impossible for Queen Qiuci to live, when he heard that Lin Xun's mother was her maid, he still had a little hope in his heart. It's just that this little hope was finally extinguished like a phantom.

"yes, it's gone, how can it be...... I've been looking for so many years, and if I were here, I would have found it a long time ago......" He withdrew his gaze, tugged back at his sleeves, and sat up straighter.

However, these few muttering words surprised Lin Luo and Lin Xun. If they heard correctly, the Great King Fang was saying that he was looking for Queen Qiuci?

What is his relationship with Queen Qiuci, and why has he been looking for her for so many years? Or, he already knew that Queen Qiuci was dead, but he still missed her. The doubts in my heart on the night of the birthday banquet resurfaced at this moment.

"Great King," Lin Luo raised his head and asked softly, "Minnu...... Dare to ask, why did the king look for Queen Qiuci? ”

The king's gaze was glazed, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he all lamented: "I ...... It's her life-seeker, and if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died. ”

"......" Lin Luo and the others were even more puzzled.

"You two tell me the truth," his voice turned sharp, "who is that girl in Tang Guxi?" Truthfully invited, half a sentence cannot be concealed. ”

The words that suddenly appeared surprised Lin Luo and Lin Xun. They raised their heads, and the king's face was majestic, and his calm eyes stared at them, and he had the courage to not allow anyone to pass the buck.

Seeing that the two of them hesitated and did not speak, the king called Wan Gonggong in again, and after saying two words, Wan Gonggong went out. Lin Luo and Lin Xun were up and down in their hearts, and they didn't know whether to say it or not, but at this moment, they heard a sentence from the king again:

"As long as you two tell me the truth, tell me who she is, and tell me how Qiu Ci died...... I promise that I will not prosecute the three of you for stealing the jade seal, and ...... I will give you the jade seal. ”
