558. 559 Assassination
Linghu Hou Mansion, front hall
Lin Jian stood with his hands in his hands, and not far behind him, Lin Dongyao's eyes were as bright as frost.
The air seemed to condense for a moment.
"I guessed on the front foot that the fifth brother came on the back foot, and the news was really well-informed. Fifth brother is so nervous, will I say anything in front of your father-in-law? ”
Lin Jian turned his back to Lin Dongyao, only listening to the voice, and couldn't judge any joy or anger.
"Your Majesty, it's better to get straight to the point and make it clear. Whether the emperor came to see the Hou Ye or forced me to come out to see you, we know each other. "Between Lin Dongyao and Lin Jian, apart from the name Linghu Full Moon, there seems to be no other topic to talk about.
"Knowing? How can the fifth brother let me know what he knows? ”
"It's better to say this, what does the emperor want to do, although he does it, but if he doesn't involve her, he doesn't involve the Linghu Marquis Mansion, the courtiers and the emperor can face each other, and the bottom line of the courtiers is Linghu Manyue and his family. If the emperor sees that his courtiers are not pleasing to his eyes, he can come to his courtiers. ”
"Good! The fifth brother is getting happier and happier! Words are what you say, remember what you said! Lin Jian suddenly turned around, and his eyes were as cold as frost when he looked at Lin Dongyao.
"Do what you say!!"
Lin Dongyao agreed without hesitation.
This may be the last time he and Lin Jian negotiated face-to-face.
Lin Jian came to the Hou Mansion undoubtedly to force him to show up and find out his opinion. Rather than let him explore here, it would be better for him to say ugly things in front of him.
"Then high-five as an oath!" Lin Jian took the lead in stretching out his hand and stopped in mid-air.
Lin Dongyao took a step forward, his arm raised, and his palm snapped into Lin Jian's palm.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a full moon between them, perhaps, their decisive battle would have come long ago.
――
Pujia Pavilion
The full moon has not returned for a long time, it is late at night, and it is quiet in the pavilion. They were all arranged in a safe place by Lin Dongyao, and they would only be brought back when the situation in the Celestial Empire was completely stabilized. Yinxiu had been injured before and had been recuperating for the past year.
The most reassuring thing about the full moon right now is the thrill.
Her most beloved brother in her previous life, in this life, she deliberately reduced the number of times she saw him, just so that he would not be so sad when she left in the future.
When he turned around, behind him, under the arch, a bright yellow figure had just arrived.
At this moment, it seems to have returned to more than a year ago.
That night, it was also in the Pujia Pavilion. He was wounded, and she bandaged him rudely and coldly, but from that moment on, he was suddenly moved by her.
He took the initiative to kiss her, and was fiercely hated by her for a long time.
The emotion of that moment is still in the deepest and deepest place in my heart, but I can never go back.
He stood under the arch and looked at her quietly. From knowing her to the present, the past is vivid, but there is nothing to say.
His bright and yellow body has blocked their relationship from the time when they were calm or presumptuous in the past.
It's hard to go back again.
Full Moon looked away, and then silently walked back to the inner room.
It wasn't until her back disappeared from view that he turned in silence.
He could never have imagined that between him and the full moon, there would be such a situation as today! looked at each other speechlessly, and turned around silently.
If this is the final outcome between them, how can he willingly accept such an outcome?
――
For the next two days, Lin Dongyao was busy until late before he could go back to the room to see the full moon. Since Lin Jian had already made it clear to him, he had to make complete preparations.
The day before the Laba Festival, Lin Dongyao was busy and did not return to the room. The full moon is also in the early hours of the morning, and I fall asleep in a daze.
When I got up early in the morning to freshen up, a familiar but unfamiliar figure appeared in front of me, the full moon looked up, pursed her lips and smiled leisurely,
"You girl, didn't you let you come back after Laba? Can't wait until today? ”
Before the full moon spoke, Yinxiu ran in excitedly, almost knocking down the full moon. She was really excited, she finally saw the princess, and she thought that the princess had-
Behind Yinxiu, Tie Ying also ran in excitedly, standing beside the full moon with Yinxiu left and right, both small faces were flushed, and tears were shining in his eyes.
"The princess is not the master. The subordinates finally saw the princess. Yin Xiu spoke as she wiped her tears. It stands to reason that she was also a first-class guard by Lin Dongyao's side, and she has experienced life and death several times, but in the past year, she has missed the full moon all the time.
She is a woman after all, and after following the full moon for a while, she has already established another sense of family affection. The full moon will not be as cold as Lin Dongyao, which makes people shudder. She has a rare coldness and indifference among women in the world, but she is more humane and more moving and surrendering at critical moments.
"Master, Tie Ying also said just now, if Tie Ying cries, let Yinxiu stop me, it's a big holiday, don't let the master see us like this. I didn't expect that Yinxiu was better than me-"
Tie Ying still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but her face was full of smiles.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but you're more sentimental than you were a year ago. Okay, don't stand still. Full Moon smiled, and she was happy to see them again.
"Master, that's—there's one more thing to say." Tie Ying hesitated.
"Say it." The full moon and them are not as rigid as other masters and subordinates.
"Master, it's cherishing dreams and condensation, they also miss their master, and they want to come back." Tie Ying and Yin Xiu had always been with Ximeng Ningjing before, but because Ximeng Ningjing didn't know martial arts, both of them consciously didn't mention their plans to come back, so as not to cause chaos to the full moon. But this morning, I really couldn't help it, so I mentioned it in front of Tie Ying.
"I understand. Let them come back after Laba. ”
"The four of them will be able to serve their master together in the future. Finally—reunited. ”
Yinxiu spoke heartily.
The full moon was stunned, and for some reason, the word reunion sounded extremely harsh at this moment.
"Master, let Yinxiu serve you to comb your hair today." Although Yinxiu is because of this, she has also learned a lot with Ning Jing Ximeng this year, and even the female celebrity will be able to.
"Okay." Full Moon came back to her senses and nodded.
"Master, you don't look very good today." Tie Ying helped Yinxiu hand over the comb on the side and asked with some concern.
"Hmm. Maybe I didn't have a good rest last night, and I've been very busy these days. It doesn't matter, just dress up a little lighter. ”
The full moon voice fell, and the comb in Yinxiu's hand actually slid down the hair bizarrely, and fell to the ground with a snap, which was extremely crisp.
"Yikes. Broken. ”
The little maid on the side shouted silently.
Yin Xiu's face suddenly turned purple.
Tie Ying was also stunned to look at the wooden comb that had fallen in half.
"Master, it's all because your subordinates are not good, and your subordinates are clumsy. I-" Yin Xiu stood crampedly in place, stammering.
There are two meanings for a broken comb, either to have a new beginning or something to happen.
Tie Ying bent down to pick up the comb.
"It's okay, don't they all say that they are all safe? The same goes for combs. Swap it. ”
The full moon waved his hand indifferently, but at the moment when the comb hit the ground just now, there was an obvious trance.
The little maid serving on the side handed over a comb again, but Yinxiu didn't dare to take it.
"It doesn't matter, this person can't be bitten by a snake once, and I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years. Hidden Show-"
"Madame!! Madam!! Something went wrong!! ”
At this moment, a mournful shout sounded from the courtyard, interrupting the words behind the full moon.
Yang Xiaoli's voice was trembling with panic that it had never seen before.
Full Moon didn't bother to comb her hair, and rushed into the courtyard with her hair scattered.
"What's wrong with him?"
You don't need to ask the full moon to guess that Yang Xiaoli is so panicked, it must be Lin Dongyao who has an accident.
But it's only early in the morning, the guests haven't arrived, and Lin Jian hasn't come yet, why did something happen? Now it's just the people from the Linghu Marquis Mansion! Could it be-
The full moon didn't dare to think about it.
In the courtyard, Yang Xiaoli's eyes were red and trembling.
"What the hell is going on?!! She roared angrily, followed by Yang Xiaoli's trembling voice with crying,
"Madam, the master has been stabbed. In-In the Antechamber-"
"Toyo—"
The full moon couldn't listen to Yang Xiaoli's words, and ran wildly.
The front hall was crowded, and Concubine An's grief-stricken cries could be heard from afar, as well as An's remorse as she beat her chest.
"Why is this happening?! If I had found out something was wrong earlier, it wouldn't be the way it is now!! ”
"Madame!! The master was stabbed by Qiu Jixuan, and he lost too much blood, but I was afraid that it was-"
In the crowd, Nian Zheng ran towards her and cried out in grief.
"Qiu Jixuan? Where is it? ”
The full moon suppressed a trembling voice and spoke in a dumb voice.
Now only the people from the Linghu Marquis Mansion are here, but it is Qiu Jixuan who has an accident!
She walked towards Concubine An, who was facing away from her, and in front of Concubine An, a familiar figure was lying there without moving, a blood-colored lotus flower blooming on her chest, and there was a strong smell of blood lingering in the air.
The full moon doesn't believe that it will be Lin Dongyao lying in a pool of blood!!
When he came to see her last night, he was fine, although he was busy and tired, he stood in front of her in good health, although he only said a few words, but before leaving, he naturally kissed her on the forehead. He also said that after the past two days, he will not let her go, and he must be by his side all day and day.
She also replied at the time that she must hide from him in advance when the time comes. He pretended to be angry and wanted to arrest her, but she dodged. At that time, she never thought that she would experience such a situation today.
"Dongyao—" She slowly crouched down in front of him, his eyes closed and his breathing weak. Let her call, but he didn't open his eyes to respond to her consciousness, but his index finger moved slightly, as if sensing her arrival.
He had a Ugin dagger stuck in his chest, and the entire blade of the dagger pierced into his chest, and the blood stained the placket of his chest, even from the waist down.
His golden brocade robe has long been unable to see its original appearance.
The palm of the full moon touched the placket of his chest, wet and sticky, and full of his blood.
"Dongyao - it's okay, you open your eyes and look at me!" Full Moon insisted that he open his eyes and look at her.
