Chapter 140: Uneasy
"Do you think this life is worth a lot?" , Lin Jue sneered, "Who is rare?!" β
"Really?"
A weird smile appeared on Lin Qiong's face, which looked particularly funny with the puffiness on his face, "What is the reason for the second sister to stop here today?" β
Seeing him put on such a scoundrel appearance, Lin Jue didn't bother to talk about it anymore, remembering Ah Jiu's sad expression, he said straightforwardly, "Lin Qiong, how can you treat her like this?" β
Lin Qiong is smart, but also slick and selfish, and can do whatever it takes for her future and goals; knows how to cater to it, but also knows how to protect oneself. With a person like this, Lin Jue never expected him to change anything or pay anything for the Ninth Princess.
In other words, the Nine Princesses don't need him to make much sacrifice or pay. The noble identity, the most prominent family background in the Great Cause Country, and the supreme power are enough to attract Lin Qiong to stay by her side.
But what Lin Jue didn't expect was that now this person would give up Ah Jiu for the sake of a county lord of the prince's family, and give up the woman who had always been in love with him!
"What did Lord Qingyun promise you? Official position? Or money? Or both? β
Besides this, Lin Jue really couldn't figure out why Lin Qiong would give up Ah Jiu, whose conditions were so much better than those of the county lord of Qingyun?
"Why do you care so much?!"
Lin Qiong said coldly, "Second sister, when did you start to be so concerned about my affairs?" β
"You think I want to?"
Lin Jue was angry.
If it weren't for Ah Jiu, she would be wasting her time here?
"Since you don't want to, then please."
Lin Qiong said as she leaned against the wall and limped forward.
The early dynasty has dispersed, and there are almost no people around except for the guards standing guard at the gate of the palace far away.
"What about the Ninth Princess?" , Looking at Lin Qiong, who had no remorse on her face, Lin Jue was speechless angrily, "You treat her like this?" β
"It's something between me and her. You don't need to worry about it, second sister. β
Lin Jue was so angry that he couldn't bear to roar, "Qinghe, strip this wolf-hearted thing and throw it outside the city gate!" βββ
Qinghe got the order. A rise and fall came to Lin Qiong's face.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Qiong began to panic at this time.
Naked in front of everyone, will he still live in the future? This is much more terrifying and uncomfortable than killing him directly.
"Qinghe, do it!"
"Stopβ"
A familiar voice came, and Ah Jiu was standing not far away, with an expression on his face that even Lin Jue couldn't recognize.
See the Nine Princesses. A complicated look flashed in Lin Qiong's eyes, fleeting.
"Why are you here, didn't I tell you to go back and rest first......", Lin Jue asked Qinghe to stop, and then walked quickly towards Ah Jiu, she didn't care about Lin Qiong, what she cared about was how Ah Jiu was.
"Jue, let him go......"
The ninth princess's gaze fell on Lin Qiong's body full of scars, and her eyes were gray, as if she was conducting a very solemn farewell ceremony. After that, she retracted her gaze, looked at Lin Jue slowly, and said, "It's all over, and there is no relationship between the two of us." β
This sentence was like a muffled thunder, splitting his head and covering his face, Lin Qiong clenched his fists tightly, and he could barely restrain the love that kept gushing up in his heart.
- "Master Lin, you are a smart person, you must know what to do and what not to do. β
Empress Yang's words echoed in her ears.
- "The body of the nine princesses." Whether it is you or the Lin family, it is incompatible with her life. What if you're a Hallym Bachelor? The annual silver is not enough for Ah Jiu's one piece of jewelry. Do you want her to be like those backhouse women in small families, and subsidize the family by making some female celebrities? Let a princess of a thousand daughters suffer with you. Mr. Lin, how can you bear it? β
- "You should feel fortunate to be favored by the Lord of Qingyun and approved by the King of Qin." Marrying the county lord of Qingyun is already a high climb for you. If it weren't for the fact that you have been by Mo'er's side since childhood, this palace would not have told you so much. However, this palace is only mentioning yì, and the final decision is still on you, Master Lin......"
"Lin Qiong! You have something to say!! β
Lin Jue roared.
Lin Qiong still lowered her head, as if she had not heard of it.
Messy hair obscured half of his face, making it impossible to make out his expression. But a bleak smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and now what else has he to say?
Yes, long pain is better than short pain. Now let's talk about it, Ah Jiu will be sad for a while at most, and that's fine. There are many young talents in Yuejing who were born in prominent families, and she is afraid that a princess will not be able to recruit a good horse?
Before saying such words, Ah Jiu was still a little lucky, and faintly expected Lin Qiong to make a statement of retention, but after seeing that he still looked indifferent, his heart instantly cooled, "Ah Jue, let's go......!" β
"Princess ......"
Lin Jue looked at Ah Jiu in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Perhaps, the only antidote to such a thing as feelings is time.
*
This night, Lin Jue lay in bed, but couldn't sleep.
On the one hand, I was worried that the ninth princess would not be able to think about it, and on the other hand, I was worried about Nangong Yi's injury. Two faces crossed in front of her eyes, shaking her to the point of madness.
"Girl, do you want the slave maid to make a cup of soothing flower tea?"
The night watchman saw Lin Jue lying on the bed tossing and turning, and in the middle of the night, his eyes were still wide open, so he stepped forward and asked softly.
"No, it's late, go to sleep. I'll think about it for a while. β
In fact, she was a little afraid to fall asleep, afraid that when she woke up, what she was worried about would come true.
"Girl, General Nangong Jiren has his own natural appearance, it must be fine, if you burn your body for this, when the time comes, General Nangong will have to worry again......"
Although the thrush has not been with Lin Jue for as long as the finch, her heart is much more delicate than her, and seeing that Lin Jue has no intention of sleeping, she knows that she is worried about Nangong Yi.
"When did you become like this, mother-in-law? ......" Lin Jue smiled, "Don't hurry up and go to sleep, if you don't come tomorrow, I won't spare it." β
"Then, the slave and maid went out first, and if the girl wants anything, just squeak......"
Heart disease still has to be treated with new medicine, and the thrush also knows that with Lin Jue's current state, three words and two words can't be comforted, and the pestle says too much in front of her, which will make her more irritable, so after explaining a few words, she obediently retreated.
As soon as the thrush left, the room fell silent in an instant.
It was cloudy and moonless, and it was pitch black outside the window.
Lin Jue was lying on the bed, becoming more and more sleepy, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, she was going to open her eyes until dawn......
The emperor did everything he could to hide it, and he didn't know what the injury was like with that facial paralysis? What if there's a ...... No way! No in case!
But the more I think about the bright side, the more bad premonitions come out of my heart. The sense of fear is like moss on the gutter wall, growing wildly, and after a while, it crawls all over the body.
No way! She couldn't sit still.
Lin Jue sat up from the bed.
Isn't she the county lord now? The county lord has the right to enter and leave the palace freely, and under the pretext of visiting the ninth princess, it is not difficult to enter the palace along the way.
The Heart Cultivation Hall has always been heavily guarded, but doesn't she still have Qinghe!
Thinking together, Lin Jue said to do it, called Qinghe, and went out directly dressed and went out. Seeing this, the thrush who was guarding outside was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and when he learned that he was accompanied by Qinghe, he put a snack slightly.
"That, Qinghe, where is the girl going in such a hurry?"
"Go to the Heart Cultivation Temple."
"Isn't the Heart Cultivation Hall in the Imperial Palace? How can you get in now? β
"Sneak in."
"What?! βββ
The thrush stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
*
Perhaps because of the successive encounters with assassins, the guards in the palace were much stricter than Lin Jue imagined. As soon as they walked near the palace gate, Qinghe had not yet begun to perform her light skills, and the two of them were stopped by the guards who were patrolling the night.
"Who are you? In the middle of the night, sneaky here?!! β
The lead guard scolded.
"Lord Yunshu, come to the palace to see the Ninth Princess." , Qinghe said coldly, and then handed a royal waist card to the guard. Lin Jue stood aside, but he was a little depressed in his heart, he was discovered before he even walked to the gate of the palace, and he really "died before he got out of the school"!
Judging from this level of guards, it was not easy for an Assassin to enter the palace even at night, let alone in broad daylight? But there was an assassination incident in the Palace of Cultivating the Heart during the day, if it wasn't for the assassin's martial arts being too high, it was ...... Is there a ghost in the palace? In other words, those assassins were originally from the palace.
If that's the case, then, isn't Nangong Yi still in danger?!
The guard glanced at the waist card in Lin Jue's hand and said, "The county lord can't do it, there is an order from the saint, no matter who it is, there must be his holy decree when entering the palace." β
Divine decree?
Lin Jue twitched the corners of her mouth, in the middle of the night, where was she going to get the holy decree?
"In that case, please ask the eldest brother to report to the Ninth Princess, and say that the Lord of Yunshu has arrived, and we will wait at the palace gate."
Kiyoha continued.
was caught, and she didn't even have a place to show her martial arts. Now in this situation, I can only grind time with the group of people in front of me.
"It's not our duty to report to the princess, please come back tomorrow."
The guard oil and salt do not enter.
"You! βββ
Qinghe was a little annoyed.
"Since we can't enter the palace, let's go back. Later, if the ninth princess can't wait for someone, she will naturally send someone to invite again. Lin Jue glanced at the guards and said.
There is no point in spending time with these people again, and they pretend to leave first, and then find an opportunity to sneak in later.
"Waitβ"
The two were about to leave, but were stopped by some familiar voices behind them.
As soon as Lin Jue turned around, he saw a certain face that was a little flat, and at this time, this face was pretending to be serious, looking at the guard just now.
"It's okay here, you guys go on patrol." (To be continued.) )
