So, Di Yinjie was punished and knelt at the front door.

Until it was dark, the internal guard came to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, King Rong asks to see you." ”

"What is he doing again?"

At this time, it was already night, and the emperor didn't know that King Rong had something to say at this time.

When King Rong passed by the front door, he saw Sicheng kneeling on the ground, and knew that the emperor was angry with him.

The emperor asked his son, "What is the matter with you?" ”

King Rong said: "I'm still here for Li Lin's case." ”

The emperor saw that he was in trouble, and ordered everyone to go out and wait, and the eunuchs withdrew, and the emperor asked, "What?" In the afternoon that would make you say that you didn't say anything, and now rush to intercede? ”

"Nope."

King Rong said: "The purpose of my coming has nothing to do with Li Lin. ”

The emperor was puzzled: "Then why did you come to see you late at night?" ”

King Rong knelt down: "There are some things that are inconvenient for people to talk about during the day, and the sons want to tell them to their father alone." ”

Seeing him so solemn, the emperor couldn't help but sit upright.

King Rong said: "Father, even if the emperor wants to execute Li Linche Ling Chi to death in this case, he has nothing to say. All this is up to the emperor, but Dong Shangshu and other ministers jointly tried to exceed the criminal law stipulated in the legal code, and the ministers will never agree with this practice!

"Oh?"

The emperor heard a surprise, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

King Rong said: "Li Lin's sin is clearly stipulated in the legal code, the highest is exile, and the lightest punishment is the cane.

Dong Shangshu is just a Shangshu, and he even co-signed with other ministers, and he simply changed the final punishment, if he succeeds this time, the ministers will follow suit in the future, where is the royal prestige? ! ”

This seemingly neutral sentence directly speaks to the emperor's heart.

The emperor, who has always been conceited, is like an initiation at this time.

Yes, the focus of Li Lin's final punishment is not whether she is dead or exiled, but the delicate relationship between the monarch and the minister.

What is Li Lin's life? But royal majesty cannot be violated.

Fortunately, King Rong reminded himself at a critical moment!

After thinking about this, it suddenly dawned on me.

King Rong said: "The little temple man who knelt at the front door was right, and asked my father not to punish him too harshly." ”

The emperor nodded, "I'm not a faint king, this is to punish him for making mistakes." ”

So he was no longer pursued.

The next day, the emperor issued a holy decree:

Although Li Lin committed a serious crime, he remembered that he did not understand the world all the year round, so he was exempted from capital punishment and exiled to the frontier. Leave Beijing within 7 days.

This is uncompromising good news.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for this matter, only Dong Shangshu was sick.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen's mood in the past two days has been like a roller coaster, and when they heard the news, they thought they were dreaming.

Their replacement plan was stillborn before it could be implemented.

Knowing the help of the third prince and the second prince in this matter, Zhao Zhen realized that Yuan Biao had made a favor deal with the third prince.

Li Qi thanked God happily and almost knelt down

He is not afraid of exile, and he can get his sister back if he turns around and finds a reason!

Zheng Guogong in the house also quietly burned a pillar of incense to his ancestors in the room.

Li Chengcai breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zheng Guogong: "Father, the emperor said to let Li Lin leave Beijing within seven days. ”

Zheng Guogong sat down senilely: "Go, go, let her stay outside than at home." ”

Li Chengcai also felt that it was good to be able to save his life.

When Li Lin came out of prison and saw the sunlight outside, he felt like a world away.

In the past few days, she has been reflecting on her previous self every day, and now she feels like she has been reborn when she picks up a life.

She knew that it was her senior brother who owed the third prince a favor.

In the distance, Li Qi and Zhao Zhen stood at the gate of the stone prison.

Li Qi wanted to take her home.

When Li Lin saw his brother, he was about to step over, but his eyes were suddenly blocked by Yuan Yuan's black armor.

Yuan Biao said lightly: "You only have a few days, so you should live in the teacher's mansion." ”

Li Lin looked at his brother, he had already walked over.

"What do you mean, Li Liang is my family, and I'm going to take her home now." Li Qi said.

"Family?"

Yuan Biao stared at Li Qi with a cold gaze, if his eyes could kill, Li Qi might have been cut in half by now.

"Where were your family members when Li Lin was suffering in prison? Where were you family members when she was fighting bloody battles at the border? Isn't that ridiculous? ”

Li Qi was speechless.

"Forget it, brother."

Li Lin said: "Grandpa is still sick, and I don't want him to see me now." ”

In the end, Li Lin followed Yuan Biao and left and went to the teacher's mansion.

watched Li Lin leave behind Yuan Ao.

"What's this called?"

Li Qi held his breath and couldn't let it out.

Zhao Zhen kept looking at Yuan Biao's figure and said, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"What?"

"Yuan Biao... He won't have a relationship between men and women for Li Lin, right....? Zhao Zhen made a bold guess.

Li Qi was taken aback: "Isn't it..."

But it's not impossible to think about it, after all, they have reached the age of marriage, and the two stay in the barracks all year round.

Li Lin grew up with Yuan Biao since he was a child, and he has developed feelings for each other.........

Li Qi suddenly shuddered, "I definitely don't agree!" ”

In the distance, Yuanshu stood on the high steps, watching the scene as it happened.

King Rong patted him on the back: "Okay, I can't die." ”

Under the sunset, the tall Yuan Biao pulled Li Lin.

Li Lin's figure looked slender and thin against the backdrop of Yuan Ao.

Yuanshu looked at her back and muttered, "Exiled to the border pass, is it that you will not come back for the rest of your life..."

King Rong sighed: "Each has his own life, at least he is still alive." ”

Li Lin lived in the teacher's old mansion.

After dinner, she was alone in her room in a daze, the punishment of exile was nothing to her, and returning to the border was like going back to her hometown, and she couldn't tell whether she was reluctant or reluctant in her heart.

She came to the study and saw her brother copying Buddhist scriptures on the case.

This habit has never been broken.

Yuan Biao looked up and saw Li Lin at the door, and stopped the pen in his hand.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

Li Lin walked in and asked, "Senior brother, if you help me intercede this time, will you have to listen to the coercion of the third prince in the future?" ”

Yuan Biao smiled lightly: "I will repay him for this favor, but he can't restrict my freedom." ”

He took the wooden box from the table and pushed it in front of Li Lin: "Here, your armor." ”

Li Lin opened the box and saw his familiar armor, as if he had seen an old friend.

This armor has accompanied her for many years, and it was a great gift from her teacher at that time.

Her hand gently stroked the armor.

Yuan Biao said: "We will leave Beijing in seven days, and you will never have to come back in the future." ”

Hearing this, Li Lin's face was a little complicated.

"Forever?"

She asked.

"What? Are you reluctant? ”

Yuan Biao looked at her expression with some disgust. said: "What you owe them has long been paid off." ”

Li Lin lowered his head, feeling that his senior brother was too alienated from his family, and said, "After all, blood is thicker than water."

"What kind of blood is thicker than what kind of water?"

Yuan Biao asked her, and he had always hated this sentence.

"Have they ever visited you in all these years at the border? How many times you were injured and almost lost your life, how did they know? - Isn't it pampered in this Jingshi? ”

Yuan Biao's words were cold, and every sentence was pierced in Li Lin's heart.
