"Ye Shangshu, I don't understand ......"

She subconsciously took a step back, without Tuoba Jiuxiao, she seemed to have become a loner, and involuntarily had a trace of suspicion and fear towards anyone and everything, as if the people who came into contact with her had a purpose, she became a frightened bird, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

The smile on Ye Bu's face gradually retracted, and after inviting Lin Ling'er to sit down, he explained the truth of the matter one by one.

It turned out that more than 20 years ago, he was just a small mason, running between the markets every day, and making a living by building houses for others.

Once, after building a house for a large family, the family did not pay him, and he went to the door to ask for it, and the family beat him seriously and threw him out.

He was dying in the heavy rain, coinciding with the change of dynasty, the world was hot and cold, no one was willing to help him, and he thought that he would die like this when there was no one to support his old mother at home.

Who knows, when he woke up, he was actually lying in a gorgeous bedroom, and later learned that it was a passing person who saved him, and this person was Tuoba Chong.

At that time, Tuoba Chong and the other three had overthrown the Chengyi Dynasty and were preparing to build Daegu, Tuoba Chong not only saved his life, but also helped him get his wages back, and even left him on an errand in the Ministry of Works.

"So, Tuoba Chong is your benefactor?"

Lin Ling'er looked at Ye Bu, who was a little excited, and asked.

Ye Bu nodded and said:

"Yes, without King Tuoba, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"But...... This can't be a reason for you to recognize me as your goddaughter, besides, in Nangong Qingfeng's opinion, I am pregnant with the descendant of King Tuoba in my belly, how can he let me give birth to the child, and come to him for revenge like Tuoba Jiuxiao in the future? Doesn't that leave a legacy behind? ”

She remembered what Nangong Qingfeng had said when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as his attitude,

"However, Nangong Qingfeng seems to agree very much with the fact that you recognize me as your goddaughter, and Nangong has never stopped me, this ......"

"Looks like there's something you don't know yet."

Yebu looked at her and said,

"The ministers gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now for Nangong Qingfeng's accession to the throne, and now the assassin who assassinated the lord of the country, that is, the Hades King, has been personally exterminated by Nangong Qingfeng, he has made great contributions, and is even more supported by the ministers, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, so Nangong Qingfeng decided to ascend the throne in a month, and Nangong Qingfeng has also announced that after he ascends the throne, he will immediately canonize Nangong as the prince."

"He's really going to the throne."

Lin Ling'er muttered to herself, but she didn't expect that Tuoba Jiuxiao's death would help him, she thought that he was just getting rid of an enemy for herself, but she didn't expect that the dead would have such a great use value.

"Miss Ling'er, you must also know that the reason why you were not executed together with Tuoba Jiuxiao was entirely because of Nangong Jue. Because he likes you so much, that's why you are alive today. But in the eyes of Nangong Qingfeng, you are a big trouble, just like you said, because you are pregnant with the descendants of King Tuoba, he can't see Nangong Jue being involved in everything for you, he will not let a woman control his son, in his original plan, you are going to be secretly executed, and saving you back is just his delaying plan to appease his son. ”

"But why did he ......?"

Yebu seemed to know what she was going to ask, raised his hand to stop her, and continued:

"I can't watch the descendants of King Tuoba destroy it again in his hands, so I ......"

So, first of all, at today's gathering of ministers, he was the first person to stand up and invite Nangong Qingfeng to ascend the throne, at such a critical moment, such a person will inevitably be reused by Nangong Qingfeng.

Secondly, when he was discussing Lin Ling'er and his widow with his ministers, Ye Bujin said that although the descendants of King Tuoba were destined to be enemies of the Nangong family, this time is different from the past, and now Nangong Qingfeng is about to ascend the throne, Tuoba Jiuxiao is the grandson of Mu Guxiong, the lord of the country of Wani, and Mu Ruyan is his daughter, their death will inevitably cause Mu Guxiong's anger, and the hatred between the two countries is forever over. But if the child in Lin Ling'er's belly is kept and left in Daegu as a hostage when the child is born, then Mu Guxiong's threat to Daegu will be greatly reduced, after all, this is Mu Guxiong's first great-grandson, he will not sit idly by, this is the most effective means to contain Wani. Therefore, Nangong Qingfeng decided to leave this child and Lin Ling'er.

Again, Lin Ling'er and the child can stay, but Nangong Jue's feelings can't help but be considered, if Lin Ling'er is placed under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one can guarantee what Nangong Jue will do to her, such as secretly making the fetus have a miscarriage, and then violently assaulting Lin Ling'er to make her become his woman, and Lin Ling'er is a woman of Hades, Hades's death must have caused her a lot of harm, she only has hatred for the Nangong family, and she should not become Nangong Jue's woman. In order to circumvent these two points, Ye Bu took the initiative to ask Ying to put Lin Ling'er under house arrest in his house, claiming to the outside world that he wanted to recognize a goddaughter, so that he would be able to explain to Nangong Jue.

In the end, Ye Bujin said that after Nangong Jue became the crown prince, he should ask the princesses of other countries to marry and form an alliance with other countries, which has always been a means to consolidate power, so as to gradually break Nangong Absolute Lin Ling'er's thoughts. Nangong Qingfeng praised his wisdom and foresight, and happily agreed, after the canonization of the crown prince, he would hand over this glorious and arduous task to him, let him as an envoy to Sinan, be sure to ask the princess and relatives.

All in all, what Ye Bu did was to protect Lin Ling'er and protect the child, one day, when the child grows up, he will help Lin Ling'er's mother and son return to Wani, so that the child can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and have something to rely on, as for revenge in the future, then he will naturally have to make another plan.

"Miss Ling'er, the old man has said all this, I hope you can calm down, take care of yourself, give birth to the child, grow up in peace and stability, and comfort King Tuoba in the heavens."

Ye Bu said this, it was difficult to hide his sadness, if he knew that the Hades King was the son of Tuoba Chong, how could he sit idly by and cause today's situation?

Now that he knows, he can't let their mother and son suffer anymore, even if he loses his life, he must protect them.

Lin Ling'er got up slowly, knelt in front of Ye Bu with a "plop", tears flowed silently, and she choked up:

"Lord Ye, Ling'er replaces King Tuoba and Tuoba Jiuxiao, and replaces the child in Ling'er's belly, thank you for your great kindness, your kindness, Ling'er has no teeth and never forgets, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay him with a spring."

"Girl, please get up."

Ye Bu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up,

"The old man is repaying his kindness, we will be father and daughter in the future, this is a father's protection of his daughter, no need to thank him. What's more, Nangong Qingfeng is really unpopular, I really hope ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, and finally said,

"I wish the Immortal was still alive."

If the Hades King is still alive, it is possible to overthrow Nangong Qingfeng, and it is possible to get back the Qiē that originally belonged to the Tuoba King!

When it comes to Tuoba Jiuxiao, even if Lin Ling'er orders herself to be strong and forbearing, her tears still roll down like a flood that bursts the embankment, and she can't cry.

Maybe she really regarded Ye Bu as her father, and she could cry so freely in front of him, this was the first time she cried so happily since she woke up.

Ye Bu raised his hand, and finally landed on her shoulder, and shook it hard, her weak shoulders were already skinny, and he frowned distressedly:

"Perhaps, the Hades King is still alive, after all, Nangong Qingfeng has not found his body, since he was able to escape from that catastrophe back then, I believe that he will be able to be auspicious today."

Lin Ling'er didn't dare to think about this, no matter whether Tuoba Jiuxiao was dead or alive, she didn't dare to think about it, so she could only nod silently:

"Yes, father."

Yefu became her home in this way, she got along very well with Yebu and his wife, everyone in the house was like Yebu and his wife, amiable, she had no worries about food and clothing here, it can be said that she became the pearl of Yebu and his wife.

However, after spending the hustle and bustle of the day, every time in the dead of night, it was the most difficult time for her, whether she opened or closed her eyes, she was the only one in the empty bedroom.

She can always recall the time in the Hades Mansion, especially the days when she exchanged identities with Yun Chengcheng, he knew who she was, but he had to endure and suffer, but he couldn't express his love, so he could only find all kinds of excuses to keep her by his side for a little longer, a little longer, at that time, was he sad?

Close your eyes and lie to yourself that he is behind him, holding her, rubbing her hair, kissing/kissing her neck, talking to her, "Ling'er, you don't know that you have a magic ......" Relying on this "trick", she fell asleep laughing every night and didn't want to wake up.

Seven days later, Luo Wulai sent a message, saying that Nangong Jue had come to Yefu and came to visit her.

Ye Bu was not at ease, so he came with him, but Nangong Jue said:

"Ye Shangshu, I have something to say to Ling'er, please ......"

Needless to say, I understand what the latter means.

Ye Bu looked at Lin Ling'er worriedly, and she smiled shallowly:

"Father, don't you still have drawings to draw, go quickly, I'll talk to General Nangong."

Ye Bu said goodbye, but left Luo Wu outside the courtyard of Bieyige.

The sky is gray, and the wind is tighter than usual today, as if it is going to rain, and it is the rainy season in Daegu in April every year, and the sun has been hiding behind the clouds lately, and rarely shows its head.

Lin Ling'er stood at the stone table under the big locust tree, looking at Nangong Jue standing in the middle of the courtyard, he still preferred cyan robes, he always looked cold, and his white face seemed to be even thinner, but he did not lose his unique handsomeness.

It's strange to say, now in the face of Nangong Jue, she can be so calm, she has no love or hate, she just thinks he is ...... Somewhat pitiful.

Nangong couldn't wait to walk over to her, dressed in fluttering clothes, like a son in a painting, and his lips had that usual smile on his lips, but after seeing Lin Ling'er, there was a lot more tenderness in that smile.
