Chapter 294: Hardship
Lin Yingxue only felt that this night was exceptionally cold, not only because of the weather, but also because of Murong Xun, who was staring at her with cold eyes at this time.
"Does the prince have any other orders?" Lin Yingxue tried her best not to show any flaws.
Everyone saw Murong Xun glance at Lin Yingxue up and down, and then squinted his eyes and asked with a dangerous attitude, "Which room are you in?" ”
"Back to the prince, the slave and maid are in the princess's room." Lin Yingxue replied quickly, but it was well thought out, after all, everyone knew that Shao Rui was not favored, so Murong Xun must not be very familiar with the people in Shao Rui's room.
Sure enough, after Lin Yingxue finished speaking, Murong Xun frowned, revealing a puzzled look.
During Murong Xun's recollection, Lin Yingxue only felt that her heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and time passed little by little, until Lin Yingxue's palms were completely soaked with sweat, and then Murong Xun spoke again: "Stand down." ”
"Yes." Lin Yingxue was relieved, hurriedly got up and left, and walked out for a long time, and the depressed feeling gradually disappeared from her perception.
When she returned to Yu's house, it was already dark at night, Lin Yingxue walked towards her yard with a tired body, and before she got closer, she saw that the yard was brightly lit, and it seemed that someone was waiting for her to come back.
"A-kun?" Lin Yingxue originally thought that Miaoqin and the others were waiting for her to come back, but after raising her eyes and seeing Murong Jun's figure, she couldn't help but show a little surprise on her face.
"Why are you here at this time?" Lin Yingxue stepped forward, but Murong Jun did not come to greet her as usual, but turned his back to her, as if he was sulking.
Lin Yingxue's eyes swept away, kneeling Leng Yue aside, and she already had a bottom in her heart.
She waved her hand quietly, signaling Leng Yue to get up and retreat, and then walked to Murong Jun's side, lowered her posture, and pulled the hem of Murong Jun's clothes as if flattering: "I know I did something wrong, but didn't I come back now......
"Hmph." Murong Jun snorted coldly, and Qing Jun's face was still tense.
Lin Yingxue saw that it was useless to be soft, so she simply changed the topic and said: "Although I didn't succeed in going this time, I heard more important news. ”
There was no answer.
Still no answer.
Lin Yingxue was helpless, and sat on the chair next to her as if she had given up on herself, "I have already done the thing, and I have already said the apology, how can the Fifth Highness dissipate his anger, you might as well say it clearly, so as not to guess a little." ”
"You ......" Murong Jun suppressed the fire in his belly, and he could turn his head to see Lin Yingxue with big black eyes open, looking at him innocently, so his anger couldn't be released at all.
"Jun knows that Miss Fifth has always been brave and resourceful, and she is not afraid of death, but please say hello to Miss Wu before doing such a dangerous thing in the future, so as not to worry about Jun, okay?"
Murong Jun looked at Lin Yingxue with some helplessness - he must have done something in his previous life to be sorry for the people in front of him, so now he will be eaten to death by the people in front of him.
Seeing that Murong Jun's tone obviously had room to turn around, Lin Yingxue stepped forward with a smile and a smile, and said softly and sweetly: "Yes, the little woman obeys her orders." ”
As soon as the smoke of a battle ignited and Lin Yingxue's sweet offensive dispersed, Murong Jun grabbed Lin Yingxue's hand and sat down, straightened his complexion and said, "You said that you went to the Rui Wangfu today and found out other news?" ”
"Yes." When it came to business, Lin Yingxue's expression also became serious, "Today, when I pretended to be a maid to bring tea to Murong Xun and the others, I heard them discussing the matter of resisting. ”
Lin Yingxue recounted while recalling the conversation between Murong Xun and the others at that time: "What they mean is to pretend to go out of the city after three days, and then kill Meng Yi after letting down his guard, and take Meng Yi by surprise." ”
Murong Xun has coveted the throne for a long time, and he is unwilling to let it go, and if he wants to fight back, it is also something Murong Xun can do.
Murong Jun frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "Are you sure they will do it in three days?" ”
"I ......" Lin Yingxue just wanted to say that she heard it with her own ears, and there should be no fake, but after thinking about it, she still changed her uncertain tone and said: "Although I heard them talk about it with my own mouth, Murong Xun seemed to be suspicious of me at that time and interrogated me for a while, so I'm not sure if Murong Xun will change his mind." ”
This is also what Murong Jun is worried about.
- If they made a move three days later, but Murong Xun didn't act, they would be the ones who would suffer at that time.
"Got it, let's get ready first, if Murong Xun really makes a move, then we will add fuel to the fire, if Murong Xun doesn't do it, it's just that......" Murong Jun glanced at Lin Yingxue when he said this, and stopped talking.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Lin Yingxue already knew what Murong Jun was thinking.
She lowered her head and said as if she had made up her mind, "I will leave the imperial city with you in three days. ”
……
Day 2.
Time was pressing, Lin Yingxue ordered the people below to start packing up their things, and went to King Jing's Mansion alone.
“…… Mother, I have discussed with Ah Jun, and tomorrow I will leave the imperial city with him and go to the northern frontier...... Mother, are you going to leave with Yingxue? ”
Lin Yingxue was also entangled in her heart when she asked this question, because on the one hand, the current situation in the imperial city is turbulent, and Liu's stay here may be affected, but on the other hand, let Liu leave the imperial city and go to northern Xinjiang with them, she is afraid that the environment in northern Xinjiang is too bad and Liu will not be able to stand it.
In such a dilemma, Lin Yingxue had no choice but to ask Liu's own opinion.
"Nope." I thought that Liu would feel a little distressed, but I didn't expect Liu to seem to have been prepared, and quickly gave an answer: "Originally, it stands to reason that my mother should go with you, but there are no elders above your eldest sister, and she is the first child, I really can't rest assured......"
Liu's face was full of guilt, Lin Yingxue saw this and hurriedly took Liu's hand and said: "It's okay, mother, the eldest sister needs someone to take care of her now, and you should stay and take care of the eldest sister, but the situation in the city is not good now, you have to be more careful, if the eldest sister wants to do something, you have to advise one or two more on the side." ”
Lin Yingxin's ambition has always been obvious, if it weren't for King Jing's steady temperament and decisive withdrawal at an extraordinary moment, it is difficult to guarantee that this turmoil will not affect King Jing's mansion, but even so, Lin Yingxue is still a little relieved, so she specially explained to the Liu family before leaving.
The Liu family has been the housewife of the Lin family for so many years before, so she is naturally not a stupid person, Lin Yingxue is just a little bit, and the Liu family understands what Lin Yingxue means.
"Mother knows, I'll watch your sister's side, but you, it's already bitter cold in the northern Xinjiang, and now it's winter, I'm afraid the days will be even more difficult, you have to take care of yourself after you pass." Liu's eyes were full of tears, and his face was full of pity and reluctance.
"Mother rest assured, Yingxue will." Lin Yingxue replied while looking at the sky outside, and saw that it was not early, so she couldn't help but say to Liu: "Okay, mother, it's not too early now, Yingxue still has to go to the palace to see Mengru, Yingxue will leave first, and mother should also take care of her body." ”
"Good...... Good boy, slow down, ......" Liu got up to see him off, and it was not until Lin Yingxue's figure completely disappeared that he was persuaded by Yahuan to return to the house.
At this time, Lin Yingxue didn't know that this was the last time she met Liu.
After leaving the Jingwang Mansion, Lin Yingxue took a carriage to Tai...... Oh no, it should be said that it was the mansion of the abolished prince.
Since the prince fell ill, the prince's mansion has gradually become cold, and now the prince has been deposed, and the entire prince's mansion is even more depressed.
"The county lord of Yuhui is here." The little girl took Lin Yingxue and walked inside.
Lin Yingxue watched as she walked, the prince's mansion was still tidy, but she rarely saw anyone along the way.
As if seeing Lin Yingxue's doubts, the little servant explained on the side: "Now the Prince's Mansion is different from the past, in order to save expenses, many people have been dismissed, and those who remain now are basically old people who have served in the Prince's Mansion for some years...... The county lord has arrived. ”
The little guy stopped and turned sideways, Lin Yingxue looked up, it was the time to eat, Fang Mengru and Murong Feng were eating, seeing Lin Yingxue coming, Fang Mengru couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.
"Yingxue is here." Fang Mengru hurriedly put down her chopsticks and got up.
Looking at Fang Mengru, who was dressed plainly and there were obviously a few more strands of sorrow between her eyebrows, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a touch of sourness in her heart.
"I'm going to leave for Northern Xinjiang with King Qi tomorrow, so I came here today to take a look, didn't bother you, right?" Lin Yingxue took Fang Mengru's hand and tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
"How so!" Fang Mengru hurriedly pulled Lin Yingxue to sit down, and said enthusiastically as always: "Have you had lunch?" If you haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat with us. ”
Lin Yingxue followed Fang Mengru's words and looked at the table, only to see that the former prince and the former princess were eating, and there were only two dishes and one soup on the table, and not to mention how the plate of green vegetables was fried, let's just say that the plate of meat dishes couldn't even see a little oil star.
"I ......" Lin Yingxue was suddenly so uncomfortable that she was a little speechless.
From the day the prince was deposed, she knew that the life of the prince's mansion might not be too easy, but she never thought that she would be sad like this.
Fang Mengru knew that Lin Yingxue must be uncomfortable when she saw Lin Yingxue's expression, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yingxue, don't worry, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, we are just making a show for that person at the moment, the real situation is not as bad as you imagined." ”
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" As soon as Fang Mengru's words fell, Murong Feng, who was pale, couldn't help but let out a series of slight coughing sounds.
"Husband." Seeing this, Fang Mengru's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly walked to Murong Feng's side to cheer Murong Feng up.
"Too ...... Brother Feng's health is okay? Lin Yingxue asked with a worried face.
"It's fine." Fang Mengru reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Before, because of the court affairs, my husband has not been able to take care of his body well, but it is just right to be idle now, plus Mr. Dugu is not such a person with good money, but it has relieved us of a lot of pressure." ”
After chattering for a while, the subordinate helped the weak prince back to the room, while Fang Mengru looked at Lin Yingxue with a sad face, as if she had something to say.
