Chapter 256: Compromise
It's Fengsheng Teahouse again.
Lin Yingxue hadn't set foot in this place since Yangchun's death, and now that she stepped into it again, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Who else should I be, I didn't expect it to be the Fifth Highness." Before coming, Lin Yingxue guessed a lot of candidates in her mind, but she really didn't expect that it was Murong Xun who wanted to find him.
Murong Xun was also a little surprised by Lin Yingxue's willingness to go to the appointment, "Fifth Miss's courage is really not small, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the door behind you after coming today?" ”
"If I dare to come today, I am not afraid of death. If Your Highness wants to say something to me, you might as well just say it. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't move the person in front of her now, then she wouldn't even want to look at the person in front of her more.
Lin Yingxue's indifference made Murong Xun feel a little uncomfortable, but he still said with a cold face: "Sun Tu is in my hands." ”
In just six words, it was like a boulder entering the sea, and Lin Yingxue's heart was shocked.
"So what?" After being surprised, Lin Yingxue tried her best to maintain the calm on her face.
But Murong Xun seemed to see through Lin Yingxue's disguise, he raised the corners of his mouth, and hooked a smile without warmth, "You don't have to lie to me, Sun Tu has already done everything, and last time you were in front of me, you had a head-lowering technique, right?" ”
If it weren't for Lin Yingxue's strange appearance in front of him that time, he wouldn't have investigated this matter at all, let alone caught such a good handle in his hands.
Looking at Murong Xun's see-through appearance, Lin Yingxue knew that this matter could no longer be hidden.
"What do you want?" Since the person in front of him already knew about the existence of the head-lowering technique, Lin Yingxue had no intention of concealing it.
Lin Yingxue's calmness and calmness have always been appreciated by Murong Xun, he glanced at Lin Yingxue, and said indifferently: "It's very simple, I want the prince to give up the throne." ”
Originally, the situation in the court was extremely complicated, but now there is a Meng Yi who suddenly appears, not to mention, there is also a King Jing on the side who has been ready to move, for the sake of today, only by kicking out a few opponents first, his chances of winning will be greater.
Lin Yingxue glanced at Murong Xun in surprise, and then smiled, "I'm just a little girl, how can I have such ability, the Fifth Highness must think too highly of me." ”
If it was another woman, Murong Xun would definitely not say this, but if it was the person in front of him, he felt that there was nothing that the person in front of him could not do.
"Miss Five is very intelligent, I believe that Miss Five will definitely have a way." Murong Xun played with the small porcelain cup in his hand, and he looked indifferent as if everything was under his control.
"Your Highness has thought too much, I can't do this, so I will leave." After Lin Yingxue finished speaking coldly, she got up and was about to leave.
It's just that she hadn't taken two steps before she heard Murong Xun behind her say slowly: "I don't know where the black line on the fifth young lady's body has spread?" ”
Murong Xun's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from Lin Yingxue's Heavenly Spirit Cover, and Lin Yingxue's body suddenly froze in place.
"What do you mean?" These days, the head lowering surgery in her body has been attacking more and more frequently, and not only has the painkiller she made no effect, but the head lowering surgery has become more and more serious every time.
She could even feel her life being sucked up little by little by the unknown thing in her body, and she had a strange premonition that maybe when she died, her body would still be intact, but the inside would be devoured, leaving only a young shell.
Seeing Lin Yingxue's reaction like this, Murong Xun knew that Sun Tu really didn't lie to him.
He looked at Lin Yingxue with pity and said, "When that black line spreads to the heart of the fifth miss, that thing will eat the heart of the fifth miss little by little, and it will ...... when the time comes."
She's going to die.
Lin Yingxue's ten fingers hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched into fists, and her originally calm face seemed to have been torn apart by Murong Xun's words, through which Murong Xun could vaguely see the unwillingness and panic in Lin Yingxue's heart.
"Fifth Miss is a smart person, I will give Fifth Miss three days, if Fifth Miss does not give me a satisfactory answer within three days, I will kill Sun Tu." Murong Xun paused when he said this, and then continued: "Oh, by the way, if I let me know that Fifth Miss told anyone about Sun Tu's hands in my hands, Sun Tu would also die." ”
It is said that the head-lowering technique can only be solved by the person who lowered the head, and if Sun Tu dies, it means that she is not saved!
Murong Xun is forcing her!
Lin Yingxue opened the door and walked out without looking back.
Back at Liu's house, the house is still as calm as before, but without the presence of Di'er and Bao, this house seems to be a lot less angry.
"Miss is back, His Royal Highness just sent someone to send some fresh fruits, do you want to taste it?" It was Miaohua who spoke, and she was not as good at observing words and emotions as Miaoqin, so she didn't see that Lin Yingxue was in a hesitant mood at this time.
Lin Yingxue glanced at the colorful fruits in the basket and did not speak.
And Miao Hua thought that Lin Yingxue acquiesced if she didn't speak, so she happily took a few apples and went out.
After a while, Miao Hua came over with a plate of cut fruit, and while she put it on the table, she pouted and said: "Miss, don't you know that when the slave and maid were peeling the fruit just now, there was an apple that looked good on the outside, and it was shiny, but the slave and maid were all open, but the inside had been eaten by worms, and the worm crawled into the slave's hand when the slave and maid cut the apple, which really scared the slave and maid to death......"
Miao Hua said with emotion, without feeling the change in his own lady's mood.
……
The third day after returning from Fengsheng.
"Miss, where are you going? Do you need slaves to follow? Lin Yingxue stayed in the house all morning, and then changed into simple clothes, and specially put on a cloak that could cover her face and walked out of the courtyard.
Miaoqin approached Lin Yingxue suspiciously, only to feel that today's young lady seemed a little strange.
"No, you don't." Lin Yingxue didn't explain too much, and went out through the side door without even giving a word.
As soon as Lin Yingxue left, the other girls in the courtyard came over and said puzzledly: "Sister Miaoqin, why do I think Miss has been a little strange in the past two days, as if she is preoccupied." Miss has always trusted Sister Miaoqin the most, have you revealed anything to Sister Miaoqin? ”
Miaoqin shook her head, first glanced worriedly in the direction where Lin Yingxue left, and then turned her head and said sharply: "How can we discuss the master's affairs in vain, just do our own things, don't say anything else that shouldn't be said, don't talk too much about what shouldn't be asked!" ”
Miaoqin has always been very prestigious in Yahuan, and as soon as these words fell, a few Yahuan hurriedly dispersed.
"Oh, no, I suddenly have a stomachache, I'm going to go to the toilet, Miss said that while the weather is good, the books in the study will be taken out to dry, you help me go to the study to move the books first, I'll be back in a while!" Before he could take two steps, Miaoqi suddenly covered his stomach and explained in pain, and then before Miaohua could reply, Miaoqi had already covered his stomach and ran away quickly.
"Eh, Sister Miaoqi-" Miaohua looked at Miaoqi who disappeared from his sight in an instant, and his little face wrinkled aggrievedly, "Why is it me every time......"
Lin Yingxue had no time to know what was happening in the courtyard - after coming out of the side door of Liu's house, Lin Yingxue cautiously glanced around, and after seeing that no one around noticed her, she lowered her head and hurriedly walked in the direction of the Five Princes' Mansion.
After arriving near the Five Princes' Mansion, Lin Yingxue did not step forward directly, but casually pulled a child passing by her and said, "You go and help me deliver a message, just tell His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, I will wait for him in the third lane of West Street." ”
While Lin Yingxue explained, she took out a small piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the child's hand.
The child was wearing a coarse linen dress, and he looked like he was not in a good family, but when he saw the silver at this time, he hurriedly ran errands for Lin Yingxue with a smile.
Lin Yingxue stood up and watched the child walk to the door of the Fifth Prince's Mansion and said something to the guards guarding the door, and the guards guarding the door hesitated after hearing this, turned around and walked quickly into the mansion.
And then she walked quickly towards the agreed place.
The third lane is a small alley that is inaccessible, and usually no one comes, Lin Yingxue waited in the alley for about half a cup of tea when Murong Xun appeared in front of her.
"Miss Fifth is really a smart person." Murong Xun opened his mouth at the first glance when he saw Lin Yingxue.
A sarcastic smile crossed the corner of Lin Yingxue's mouth, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at Murong Xun or herself.
"I promise you that you will work hard to prevent the crown prince from participating in this seizure of the throne." Lin Yingxue said coldly.
This is the result of her careful consideration. She was finally reborn once, and the revenge that should be avenged has not been avenged, and she is unwilling to die, so for now she can only choose to pretend to help Murong Xun, but she believes that with her ability, sooner or later she will help the prince regain that position!
Lin Yingxue lowered her head, her cloak covered Lin Yingxue's face, Murong Xun couldn't see Lin Yingxue's expression at this time, as if he had never really read the person in front of him.
"Okay, but there is no basis for what I say, Fifth Miss needs to let me see Fifth Miss's sincerity, and when the time comes, after I confirm that the prince will indeed not pose a threat to me again, I will let Sun Tu remove the head lowering technique on Fifth Miss."
"To show sincerity, this is for Miss Five, when Miss Five's head lowering technique occurs, this thing may be useful to Miss Five." Murong Xun said as he took out a small box from his sleeve.
Lin Yingxue stretched out her hand to take it, opened it and took a look, only to see three brown pills lying quietly inside.
"This is a pill made by Sun Tu himself that can relieve the pain of Miss Five's seizure." After Murong Xun explained, he turned around and left indifferently, as if nothing had happened just now.
And Lin Yingxue looked at the box in her hand for a long time, and finally left the place in a hurry.
After Lin Yingxue left, a figure hidden in the shadows shook for a while, and after glancing at the direction Lin Yingxue left, he finally walked quickly in the opposite direction where Lin Yingxue left.
