There were only two emperors and queens in the secret room, and Zhao De stayed outside to observe the situation. The secret room was quiet, no sound from outside could be heard at all, the emperor and the empress were close together, and the heartbeats of the two of them echoed in the secret room like drums.

I don't know how time passed in the secret room, until the half of the white candle in the room was finally burned out, and the last flame was about to be extinguished, the sound of footsteps finally sounded outside the secret room.

Is it Murong Xiao's gang of thieves who are walking towards them now, or are they people from the military defense battalion? The Emperor held the Empress's hand tightly, and it was not until the Empress let out a low cry of pain that he realized that he had unknowingly pinched the Empress's wrist out of a bruise.

"Your Majesty?" The Empress looked up at the Emperor with panic on her face.

The Emperor did not speak, but stared closely at the door of the secret room, which could only be opened from the inside, and those outside could only force their way in if they wanted to...... Just as he was thinking about it, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

This is the secret sound of the emperor opening the door agreed with Zhao De in advance.

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of joy swelled up on his face. He walked quickly to the door in a few big strides, and then opened the secret rooms—

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The deafening slogan made the joy on the emperor's face continue to expand, he lowered his head and swept away, only to see the prince, Lin Yingxue, Zhao De and some unfamiliar guards kneeling in front of him covered in blood, and the emperor couldn't help but feel a burst of unspeakable emotions in his heart at this time.

"Flat! You are all my heroes! The emperor trembled with excitement and helped the prince to get up, but not only did the prince not move, but even the others did not move.

"Please forgive the emperor! At that time, the courtiers were in a hurry, and the emperor falsely told the prison guards to release the prince. ”

"Please forgive your father, without my father's order, my son will be released from prison without permission, and the crime will be ten thousand deaths."

Lin Yingxue and the prince's voices rang out one after another, and the emperor forcibly dragged the prince up from the ground, while looking at the two of them and laughing: "The prince has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and the fifth lady is even more clever and wise, what are you two guilty of?" Not only are you innocent, but I will reward you well! ”

"Thank you for your grace." The emperor's reaction was something Lin Yingxue had long expected. She lowered her head to hide the small smile on her lips.

After this night of life and death has passed, there are a lot of aftermath things that need to be taken care of. It was Lin Yingxue who didn't stay in the palace any longer, but just as she was about to leave, the crown prince, who was supposed to be with the emperor, was two steps behind and pulled her aside.

"The prince should help the emperor deal with the rest of the matter now, as for those questions in the prince's heart, the prince can pick another time to ask later." Before the prince could speak, Lin Yingxue had already gained insight into the thoughts in the prince's heart in advance.

However, the crown prince glanced at Lin Yingxue, but his expression was extremely serious, "Since you already knew that the second brother had the intention of rebellion, why didn't you tell your father about this in advance?" On the contrary, the father and the queen mother were put in such a dangerous situation! If something happens to the father and mother, then what will you use to redeem it?! ”

The prince's angry rebuke was like a punch hitting Lin Yingxue's heart, she raised her head, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily hooked up a mocking arc, "Doesn't the prince know why I have to take such a big risk to arrange these things?" If it weren't for tonight, Prince, do you think you would be able to regain the Sacred Heart so easily? Also, in arranging these things, I risked my life! Please prince, you know, I'm also gambling with my life to win this time! ”

Since her rebirth, Lin Yingxue has never felt so aggrieved as she does today. She glared at the prince angrily, her black eyes filled with fire.

The prince's eyes flashed, he turned his head, but he still said stubbornly: "I am innocent, even if there is no today's incident, my father will let me out of prison in the future." ”

"Huh, really? Then it is right to worry about Yingxue, if the prince really thinks that Yingxue has done something wrong, even if he goes to the emperor to find out the matter, Yingxue will never say a word. Lin Yingxue flicked her sleeves, turned around and left indignantly.

The prince looked at the back of Lin Yingxue leaving, with a hint of regret on his face.

Murong Xiao collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, intending to assassinate the emperor to seek power and usurp the throne The matter was spread to everyone the next day, Xu Jingsheng was seriously injured and fled, leaving Murong Xiao, Murong Xiao was arrested and ordered by the emperor to be beheaded on the spot, and some other ministers who participated in the operation were all ordered to connect the nine clans.

Three days, three whole days. It rained heavily in Guang'an for three days, the bright red blood flowed for three days and three nights, and the terrible screams resounded for three days and three nights, until the fourth day when the sky was fine, everything calmed down, and the city returned to tranquility, as if everything that had happened in the first three days was just a nightmare for the people of the city.

The crown prince regained the sacred heart because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, and the emperor asked Lin Yingxue what reward she wanted, and Lin Yingxue thought for a while and told the emperor that she wanted a blank condition, and then let the emperor honor it after she thought about what she wanted in the future.

The emperor readily agreed, and named Lin Yingxue as the lord of Yuhui County, taking Zhong Lingyuxiu, sensitive and intelligent.

For a time, Lin Yingxue became famous.

"The fifth sister is a celebrity now, it's really not easy to ask the fifth sister to come out, and now the people who come to the Lin family to propose marriage have probably already broken through the threshold!" What Lin Yingxin said is indeed the truth, otherwise Lin Yingxue would not have promised Lin Yingxin to come out fishing in the cold weather.

"The eldest sister is used to making fun of me, if the eldest sister is not married, won't she be robbed of her head and come to the door to propose marriage? I'm just stained with the name of the county lord now, and when this matter stops, the people who propose relatives should disperse. When Lin Yingxue said this, she couldn't help but glance at Murong Xun on the side - it was only after this that she found out that Lin Yingxin and his wife had actually made an appointment with Murong Xun, and only with Murong Xun and her.

It seems that Lin Yingxin still hasn't dispelled the idea of trying to match her with Murong Xun. Lin Yingxue turned her head while thinking.

"Here we are." As he was walking, King Jing, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped, pointed to a lake in front of the four of them, and said: "Let's take a boat to go fishing in the middle of the lake, so that we can enjoy the scenery and fish, and we can enjoy the best of both worlds, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Since King Jing already had an idea in his heart, how could Lin Yingxue and the others refuse?

It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, there are two small boats quietly parked on the lake, with bait, fishing rods and other items on the boats, and King Jing and his wife have a tacit understanding to get on one boat, and the remaining one can obviously only be sat by Lin Yingxue and Murong Xun.

Murong Xun jumped on the boat first, and then didn't forget to politely stretch out his hand to Lin Yingxue, but Lin Yingxue didn't even look at Murong Xun and jumped onto the boat by himself.

Murong Xun looked at Lin Yingxue's cold side face, and there was a hint of interest on his always indifferent face.

After the four of them sat down on the boat in pairs, King Jing and Murong Xun personally took the helm and controlled the two small boats to sail towards the middle of the lake. A cold wind blew, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but pull the cloak on her body, and put her hands to her mouth and took a few breaths of hot air.

Murong Xun glanced at Lin Yingxue and didn't say much, but quietly stepped forward two steps in front of Lin Yingxue.

The wind suddenly became much lighter.

Fishing is all about patience, so when the boat stopped, Lin Yingxue began to fish attentively, never saying a word to Murong Xun from beginning to end, and never noticed that the small boat that King Jing and his wife were riding was gradually moving away and gradually disappeared.

I don't know if it's because the weather is too cold, Lin Yingxue stayed on the boat for a long time, until her body was a little frozen, and she harvested her first fish.

"Wow, what a big fish!" Lin Yingxue excitedly threw the fish onto the boat, and at the same time turned her head to show off King Jing and his wife, but as soon as she turned her head, where was there still the shadow of King Jing and his wife around here?

Seeing the smile on Lin Yingxue's face disappear little by little, Murong Xun couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart for some reason.

No one shared the joy of catching a fish, Lin Yingxue squatted down, silently picked up the fish that fell on the boat and threw it into the fish basket aside, looking at Murong Xun who was still watching his nose and nose and watching his heart and mind, and fishing patiently, Lin Yingxue hesitated for a while before speaking: "I don't know if King Jing and the eldest sister went back first, I don't think it's too early, why don't we go back too." ”

No response.

Still no response.

After Lin Yingxue finished speaking, she waited on the side for a long time and didn't see Murong Xun answer, she couldn't help frowning, and sat back on the small bench on the boat in silence.

In this afternoon, Murong Xun couldn't catch even a fish, because his attention always drifted involuntarily to the girl next to him who was sulking alone, so that he didn't notice every time the fish took the bait, and by the time he reacted, the damn fish had already eaten up the bait and slipped away.

However, with the company of the girl beside him, this afternoon was not too bad for Murong Xun.

"I'm going back." After spending an hour with the people around her, Lin Yingxue finally ran out of patience.

She stood up and didn't wait for Murong Xun to answer, she was about to take the oars and row away by herself, but she just looked around, but she didn't see the shadow of the oars!

Seeing Lin Yingxue's ghostly look, the corners of Murong Xun's mouth couldn't help but float a smile that wasn't obvious, "The oars were taken away as early as when Princess Jing left. ”

Lin Yingxin took their oars? Lin Yingxue's face was full of black lines, so how should they go ashore in a while? Paddling back by hand?

Looking at the distance from where they were now to the shore, Lin Yingxue felt that even if she cut off her hand, they might not be able to reach the shore.

Could it be that for today's plan, we can only rely on Murong Xun to use light skills to send her back to shore? Lin Yingxue felt that she really underestimated Lin Yingxin's determination to match her with Murong Xun.

"Then trouble His Highness Fifth to send me back to the shore." Lin Yingxue reluctantly said with her back to Murong Xun.

Murong Xun turned his head when he heard this. Originally, he didn't intend to embarrass Lin Yingxue, but after seeing Lin Yingxue's awkward appearance, he somehow got into the idea of playing.

"Could it be that Fifth Miss usually begs for people with such an attitude?" Murong Xun's face was solemn, but there was a faint smile hidden in his eyes.
