Chapter 144: Anger

The mutual temptation between smart people is always silent, and the knife has passed without a trace, but it is just a few words of kung fu Xu Jingsheng already knows that Lin Yingxue may be even more unfathomable than he imagined.

"I suddenly remembered that there were still some things waiting for me to go back and deal with in the post station, so I will leave first." Xu Jingsheng got up to say goodbye.

Lin Yingxue also hurriedly stood up, "Xu Gongzi walks slowly." As she spoke, she wanted to take a step, as if she was planning to send Xu Jingsheng away, but she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and then only heard a coquettish call, and a warm nephrite body rushed straight in the direction where Xu Jingsheng was.

"Miss Five, beware!" In such a situation, the first reaction of a normal person is naturally to reach out to the person in front of him. Xu Jingsheng was no exception, at the moment when Lin Yingxue fell, he quickly stretched out his hands and firmly supported Lin Yingxue's body.

"Thank you, Young Master Xu." As Lin Yingxue spoke, she unconsciously reached out to support Xu Jingsheng's arm.

"Hmm......" Xu Jingsheng's expression turned pale almost immediately, but when Lin Yingxue looked up at him, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Fifth Miss doesn't have to send each other." With that, he withdrew his trembling left hand into his sleeve and walked out the door quickly.

Lin Yingxue looked at Xu Jingsheng's back as he walked away quickly, but her eyes gradually cooled, "Is that the position?" "Two days ago, the assassin who explored Mo Yunxuan at night was scratched by Leng Yue's sword, and Lin Yingxue asked at this moment naturally the location of the scratch.

"Yes." Leng Yue on the side nodded affirmatively.

Thinking of Xu Jingsheng's changed expression just now, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but smile coldly - after the temptation just now, she was almost certain that Xu Jingsheng had an injury on his left arm, and even if the injury was just a coincidence, it was impossible for this wound to be the same as the place where Leng Yue had stabbed the assassin.

So this can only show that it was this Xu Gongzi who visited the Lin family two days and nights.

Since he forgot to say a word and fled, the emperor's attitude towards Murong Jun has become more and more cold, the third highness who was too busy to keep his feet on the ground, and who had not seen anyone for three days, is now leisurely drinking tea and reading books in the mansion, this kind of gap may seem a little bleak in the eyes of outsiders, but Murong Jun himself enjoys it very much.

"Sit down and taste the newly offered dragon well from the people below." Murong Jun beckoned Lin Yingxue to sit down opposite him, and the subordinates who were originally standing in the room retreated with a sense of the times, leaving only the two of them to talk in the room alone.

Lin Yingxue had something in her heart, and she was not in the mood to taste tea, but she put down the teacup in her hand after taking a sip.

"I think that the reason why Xiangguo came to the imperial city this time is not just as simple as wanting to marry, but the Third Highness still sends people to keep an eye on this group of people in Xiangguo in private." Lin Yingxue always went straight to the point when she talked to Murong Jun, and she didn't say a little nonsense.

Murong Jun listened to Lin Yingxue's words in his ears, and looked at Lin Yingxue for a long time before he said, "Every time Fifth Miss looks for me, there is nothing else to do except business?" ”

Lin Yingxue waited for a long time, but she didn't expect Murong Jun to hold back such words in the end. She glanced at Murong Jun extremely helplessly, and was about to open her mouth to answer when a subordinate outside hurriedly ran in.

After the person saluted, he walked straight to Murong Jun's side, and whispered something to Murong Jun, Murong Jun's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and before the person retreated, he had already opened his mouth and said to Lin Yingxue: "Xiangguo has officially requested marriage to my father." ”

Xiangguo's speeding up must be because of her unsuccessful 'design' last night! The marriage between the two countries is a major event, once this matter is determined on the surface, there is no possibility of easy change, once the emperor announces the news, Murong Yue's chance of turning the tables will be even more slim!

Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun also frowned together, both of them had gloomy clouds on their faces, and the subordinates below were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, and they didn't leave or stay, so they had to stiffen and stand aside first.

After a long silence in the room, Leng Yue suddenly came over with another person.

"Fifth Miss!" The man was dressed as a eunuch, obviously a person from the palace, as soon as he saw Lin Yingxue, it was like seeing a relative, and hurriedly rushed forward, "Fifth Miss, the fourth princess, please enter the palace quickly, the princess has something important to discuss with you!" ”

So fast! It was unexpectedly for Murong Yue to send someone to find her, but she didn't expect the news to come out from the palace, so Murong Yue hurriedly sent someone out to find her, so she thought that Murong Yue must be in a hurry when she was in the palace now.

"Let's go, I'll go into the palace with you!" Lin Yingxue didn't say much, and immediately stood up with her eyebrows condensed.

She was about to go out with the eunuch, but when she turned her head, she saw that Murong Jun also stood up with her, her heart moved, she raised her head and glanced at Murong Jun, neither of them said much, but there was already an invisible tacit understanding between the two.

When Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun arrived at the palace, Murong Yue was in a hurry in her palace, and when she saw Lin Yingxue and the two coming, she didn't even have time to retreat from the palace and rushed to Lin Yingxue, and said in a voice that was so excited that she changed her tone: "Yingxue, the Xiangguo side has officially submitted a request for marriage, and now the envoy is discussing specific matters with his father in the imperial study, and when the envoy comes out, my father will probably make a clear decree!" ”

"Yingxue, you quickly find a way to help me, I don't want to marry into Xiangguo, and I don't like that Xiangguo prince at all. Yingxue, you help me, help me! ”

Although some things can stimulate a person's rapid growth, Murong Yue is not old after all, and she has been pampered since she was a child, so she is actually still a child in her bones, and this child will jump out of Murong Yue's body after encountering something that cannot be solved by herself.

Just like right now, Murong Yue is just a child who is desperate for help.

"I ......" This time when she entered the palace, Lin Yingxue was also nervous in her heart, because the time given to her was too short, and she couldn't reveal what kind of person the prince of Xiangguo was to the emperor and even the people in such a short time.

Moreover, from the time the emperor decided to take Murong Yue to marry Xiangguo, in fact, Murong Yue's status in the emperor's heart had completely changed - now the emperor is probably not thinking about how to spoil his daughter, but what to do to let this daughter give full play to her greatest value.

People's hearts are so cold and fickle, and royal people are even more so.

"Yue'er, calm down." Murong Jun frowned and stepped forward to pull away Murong Yue's hand that was holding Lin Yingxue's wrist, "The key to the success of the marriage is not Yingxue, nor you and me, but the father." If your father makes up his mind to send you out to marry Xiangguo, then even if Yin Ze is full of evil, his father will not hesitate to marry you. If your father is unwilling to marry you to Xiang, then even if you make a clear decree, your father can find other excuses to leave you alone. ”

The fate of all living beings in Rongguo can be said to be tied to the hands of the emperor, and the people are like this, and Murong Yue, as the daughter of the royal family, is even more so.

As if all hope had been siphoned away in an instant, as soon as Murong Jun's words were finished, Murong Yue sat down on the chair beside him with a dejected face.

"Heh, hehe......" Murong Yue's face was full of relatives, her eyes stared blankly at the void, and her laughter looked a little weird, "Since the assassination happened, my father has lost trust in me. He has been fond of me for many years, just because I have never done anything to him or to the detriment of him......"

Although the current Murong Yue is the same, the emperor has completely changed in Murong Yue's heart.

The house began to fall into a long silence, because Murong Jun was the prince of the year, and it was not appropriate to stay in Murong Yue's palace for long, so Lin Yingxue had to confess to Honglian, and after letting Honglian take care of Murong Yue, she left with Murong Jun full of worry.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace, Honglian chased out breathlessly, "Third Highness, Fifth Miss, it's not good!" Honglian ran to the two of them, and hurriedly said without even taking a breath: "The princess has just gone to find the emperor, and the slave and maid asked the princess what to do, and the princess didn't say anything, but just rushed out, and the slave and maid were afraid that the princess would annoy the emperor when she saw the princess!" ”

After listening to Honglian's words, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun glanced at each other, and the two walked quickly in the direction of the imperial study without saying a word.

“…… It's the other way around, it's really the other way around! ”

As soon as they walked to the door of the imperial study, Lin Yingxue and the others, who came in a hurry, heard the emperor's angry voice coming from the imperial study.

Murong Jun's expression changed, and he stepped forward first and asked the eunuch guarding the door, "What's going on inside?" ”

"I've seen the Third Highness!" The eunuch was anxious, and when he saw Murong Jun coming, he hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Third Highness, the emperor and the fourth princess are arguing inside, go in and take a look!" ”

Hearing this, Murong Jun stepped forward and pushed open the door of the imperial study before he even had time to report.

The sudden sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the people in the room, and the emperor turned his head and saw Murong Jun trespassing, his already gloomy face suddenly became even more ugly, "Bold rebel!" You are now more rampant than the other, first my good daughter came to threaten me, and now my good son has come to trespass on my imperial study, you are so bold! ”

After saying that, the emperor grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it fiercely in the direction of Murong Jun, Murong Jun's body moved slightly, and he reflexively wanted to dodge, but reason made him stop his movements, and let the teacup hit his forehead.

With a 'bang', as the teacup fell to the ground and turned into pieces, blood slowly dripped down Murong Jun's cheeks onto his moon-white placket, and the bright red color rippled on the white clothes, which looked a little dazzling.

Lin Yingxue, who came in behind Murong Jun, was shocked, she was about to speak, but Murong Jun had already 'pounced' and knelt down, "Father is angry, the dragon body is important." ”
