Chapter 74: Suspicion of Rebellion!
Li Lin looked into the darkness for a while.
Seeing that it was his own delusion, he simply turned his head and continued to be in a daze.
Suddenly, after a while, he turned back and asked in a mischievous tone, "Are you coming to pick me up?" ”
After speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly twice.
Yuan Shu listened to her self-amusement from afar, and his heart was mixed.
That evening,
When King Rong returned home, he saw his son sitting on the steps in a daze, and he was a little puzzled.
He walked over and found that Yuanshu was biting the nail on his finger.
This is Yuanshu's habit for many years, but whenever he blames himself and regrets it, he will squat in the corner alone and bite his nails.
Yuan Shu has always been hard-mouthed and refuses to admit his mistakes when he encounters anything, but this bad habit often exposes his heart.
"What's wrong son? What can't you think of? King Rong asked.
He was ready to talk to his son.
Yuanshu saw his father's face and seemed to see hope.
"Father, Li Lin's case..."
When King Rong heard that it was Li Lin's case, he sighed and said, "It's settled, death penalty!" This is the best result. ”
Yuan Shu now has a kind of fear of the word "death penalty", and his face is slightly pale.
King Rong patted him: "Don't think about it, your imperial grandfather said it today, and I will give you a big gift on your birthday......"
Yuan Shu couldn't listen to anything else, and asked his father: "Can this case be retried?" ”
King Rong, who was dancing with his eyebrows, was suddenly stunned: "What? ”
He didn't know why his son suddenly said such a thing, and looked at Yuan Shu incredulously:
"What are you kidding, this case finally came to such a result."
However, seeing his son's abnormal attitude, he guessed that he was reluctant to give up Li Lin, and persuaded:
"If you want to blame her, it's all fate......
Yuan Shu bit his lip and felt conflicted in his heart, and he could see that he was depressed.
King Rong put his arm around his shoulders and sat on the steps with him: "Son~ Didn't she just teach you 2 days of swordsmanship, why bother to worry about her!" ”
"But she didn't do it......"
"It doesn't matter who made it, it's most appropriate for her to take the blame."
King Rong patted his son on the back: "Let's think about the business and prepare for your birthday!" ”
Yuanshu said with guilt: I did it.
King Rong was just about to tell him that he had invited the biggest opera troupe on his birthday, but Yuan Shu suddenly said this, and he thought he had auditory hallucinations.
"What?!"
I saw Yuanshu stand up from the steps, walk down and kneel down solemnly to his father.
"Miss Dong's business is what I did."
King Rong froze: "What nonsense are you talking about?" What does this matter have to do with you! ”
"I did it, I pulled Miss Dong out of the Zheng Guogong Mansion and threw her into the military camp defending the city."
"Are you crazy?!"
King Rong thought for a moment that his son had lost his mind.
He stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.
With trembling hands, he asked his son, "Are you being coerced?" ”
Yuanshu lowered his head.
King Rong said: "I know! It must be Li Qi and Zhao Zhen playing some tricks, right? ”
"I hid the people, and I put the boxes."
Yuanshu said to his father.
King Rong's eyes widened, it was difficult to accept this fact, and he insisted in a hard tone:
"No! Li Lin will be guilty of capital crimes, and this matter has nothing to do with you! ”
He bowed his head and tried to persuade his son:
"Don't intercede for her or take the blame for her, he is just one of your many teachers, and he has only taught you the sword for just two days.
You forgot about the pamphlets that were handed out on the street the other day, and people are still talking about them! What is there about her that cares about you? You're still here to intercede with her? ”
This went to Yuanshu's sore spot.
He interrupted his father: "She didn't do that. ”
"Shut up!"
King Rong limped back and forth in front of Yuan Shu, and he could see that he was a little excited.
"Letting the two of you go to Dongcheng is nothing more than letting her lead you to play, what do you really think of her? To put it bluntly, she's just a girl who comes back from outside and doesn't understand anything, are you crazy talking nonsense here? ”
"Father's ......"
"Her brother Li Qi and Zhao Zhen are tinkering with each other every day, and she approaches you for a purpose!"
King Rong taught his son that he had rarely been angry for so many years, and today he finally had a temper.
"She is the only one in Dongcheng who follows you, who else is there if she doesn't say it! Even for those books that slander you, she must also be guilty of a capital offense. ”
Yuan Shu couldn't help it: "I checked, it was done by the sixth uncle!" ”
King Rong looked at his son with wide eyes.
Yuanshu's red eyes were already full of tears.
"It's Uncle Six."
King Rong looked at his son's appearance at this time, made sure that he was not talking nonsense, and tried to calm himself down: "Sixth...... He, why did he do it? ”
King Rong asked his son.
Yuanshu shook his head, his tears could no longer be stopped, and he seemed to have been greatly wronged.
He himself never imagined that one day he would be designed by his own uncle.
King Rong stood on crutches and suddenly calmed down.
"Yuanshu, you have always been stubborn, did you offend your uncle somewhere?"
Yuan Shu shook his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that he had been crying, King Rong's heart softened suddenly, Yuan Shu was his only son, and now he was calculated by his younger brother.
Immediately, there was a sense of being bullied in his heart: "The sixth child is really lawless!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk towards the gate of the house.
Yuan Shu got up and grabbed his father: "Forget it, father." ”
King Rong looked back at his son, and Yuan Shu said, "Why bother with it. ”
Seeing his appearance, King Rong felt sad for a while.
Oh, yes! Even if he confronts his sixth brother at this moment, what kind of result can he have?
Will he admit it?
At this moment, King Rong was a little helpless. Even though he is a prince, even if he is the eldest brother of all princes, he can't teach anyone a lesson with this matter.
In an instant, tears flowed out of his eyes, regretting his attitude towards his son just now: "Shu'er, my father is sorry for you..."
King Rong looked at his lame half leg.
He is destined to be an idle prince in his life, and he can't get more things for his son.
The family affection in the court is weak, and King Rong has seen a lot since he was a child.
He gently patted his son on the back and sat down on the steps with him in his arms:
"When you are an adult, let the emperor crown you the king of the county, and you will be at ease in the future, don't fool around with them, they are fighting for a throne, and in the end you can even get your life in..."
Yuanshu rubbed his eyes and choked a few times, it was also the first time that he had shown such unscrupulous vulnerability in front of his father.
"I just want to keep Sister Lin's life." He said to his father.
"Hey......," King Rong sighed.
In the middle of the night, a thunderclap flashed in the sky.
Ah Xiu woke up from her dream, she wiped the sweat from her head, got up and hurried to find Ji'an.
At this time, Ji'an was already asleep, and Ah Xiu went up to shake him awake.
"Brother Ji'an! Wake up. ”
Ji'an had just fallen asleep at this time, and she woke him up thinking that something had happened in the house.
I only heard Ah Xiu's anxious tone: "Brother Ji'an, I have a shocking secret that I must tell you!" ”
Ji'an thought she was sick again, and was a little impatient: "You go find a hole in the ground and say, I'm sleepy." ”
Ah Xiu was nervous: "I think of who Zhao Yuanshu is!" ”
"Huh? Who? ”
Gian yawned, already helpless at her nervousness.
As a person from hundreds of years later, they already have immunity to what Ah Xiu did, so they simply don't care about her anymore.
I saw Ah Xiu say with mystery: "That Zhao Yuanshu, he will rebel!" ”
"What!"
Ji'an's mind cleared up instantly, and he covered her mouth.
"You want to die! How dare you say that!? ”
Ji An's face turned pale with fright, Ah Xiu took his hand away and whispered, "I swear, I can't remember anything else, I promise it's true!" ”
