Chapter 825: Decision 5
Emperor Mingzong carefully looked at the "Qingyan" who raised his head, but his eyes were still drooping down, kneeling, and did not speak for a long time. He can be sure that the person in front of him is Lin Ruo, but his body is much smaller than Lin Ruoqing before, and his words and deeds are much duller, as if he is another person.
However, this kind of calm and calm in the face of a person who can decide her life and death is exactly the same as Lin Ruo.
"Antabor let you into the palace?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it is the uncle who arranges for the slave and maid to enter the palace to meet the saint, but it is not the uncle who lets the slave and maid enter the palace."
"Who's that?" Emperor Mingzong asked knowingly.
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave doesn't dare to say it." "Qingyan" knelt motionless, and his voice was decent.
"Don't dare to say it?" Emperor Mingzong sneered, snorted coldly, and then changed his face and scolded angrily, "Is there anything in this world that you dare not say or do?" ”
This angry rebuke frightened the waiters in the imperial study, including Chen Guan, knelt down together, trembling, only the old waiter Chen Guan, in addition to being afraid, also pondered the meaning of the emperor's words, how to listen to the emperor's tone, it seems to be - very familiar with the appearance of this maidservant?
"Qingyan" also hurriedly crawled to the ground, but I don't know if it was because her right hand was not good enough to cause inconvenience, or she was really not afraid of the power of the Son of Heaven, and her movements looked a little calm: "The emperor is angry, the matter is serious, the slave and maid dare not speak falsely, and ask the emperor to be gracious, retreat left and right, and the quasi-slave and maid will play alone." ”
"Humph!" Emperor Mingzong snorted heavily, his eyes were gloomy, staring at the little girl kneeling in front of him, this Lin Ruo, is he sure that he doesn't dare to do anything to her? Does she think that such a big crime as cheating death and deceiving the king, he, the emperor, will turn a big thing into a small matter in the face of her mother Lin Yuan'er, and turn a blind eye?
Who gave her guts!
Lin Ruo, who was disguised, was still prostrate on the ground, and knocked loudly: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" The slaves and maids do have important things to do, which is related to the stability of the country and the society, and the court is stable, so I implore the emperor to retreat! ”
Emperor Mingzong said disdainfully: "You, a little maidservant girl of the Antaibo Mansion, dare to make such nonsense? It is an important matter related to the stability of the country and the society, so why didn't Lin Qi personally enter the palace to speak? If Lin Qi didn't come, why didn't Li Yan come? Could it be that there is no one in the Antybo Mansion who wants you to tell me a confidential matter? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid dare not say anything, it is indeed because of the confidentiality, and the matter is serious, so that the slave and maid, a maid with a disease in her right hand, entered the palace to face the monarch and reported to the emperor. If there is no uncle in the Antaibo Mansion, it will no longer be the Antaibo Mansion; If there is no Mr. Li, Antaibo will be lonely and difficult to support alone. But if there is no clear face, a little maidservant girl will not have much impact. ”
"You mean, you entered the palace only after preparing for death?"
"Back to the emperor's words, yes."
Emperor Mingzong's eyes were complicated, but in Lin Ruo's humble and arrogant answer, his anger gradually subsided, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. The people related to the two dragon and phoenix Chengxiang Xiu jade jade pendants are indeed royal secrets, maybe because Lin Qi and Li Yan don't know, maybe Lin Qi and Li Yan already know, but Lin Ruo refuses to let them take risks, but in any case, this excuse of "death" gives the emperor a step, and he can smoothly send away all the people who are waiting in the imperial study.
The silence in the imperial study was terrifying, and after a long while, Emperor Mingzong finally spoke: "You all retreat." ”
The palace maids immediately received the order and rushed out.
"Chen Guan, you also step down."
"Your Majesty?"
"Stand down!" Emperor Mingzong raised his voice and glared at Chen Guan.
Chen Guan wanted to speak and stopped, frowned and glanced at the "Qingyan" who was still kneeling on the ground, and finally left unwillingly.
There were only two people left in the imperial study, and Emperor Mingzong then said, "Now you can speak." ”
"If you go back to the emperor, please ask the emperor to retreat from the fire guard, and keep an eye on the palace maid who has just retired from the imperial study."
As soon as the three words "Wing Fire Guard" came out, Emperor Mingzong almost stood up "poof": "How do you know Wing Huo Guard?" ”
"Qingyan" did not answer, but repeated the plea again in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please let the emperor retreat with his wings and fire guards, and monitor the palace maids who have withdrawn from the imperial study." ”
Emperor Mingzong's eyes were dark, he sat behind the imperial case, exhaled deeply, and then retreated with his wings and fire guards, and acted according to the instructions of "Qingyan".
Everything was arranged, Emperor Mingzong's face sank, and he finally spoke: "Now you can answer my words, Lord Minhui, Lin and Ruo!" ”
"Minhui obeys." Lin Ruo, who was kneeling on the ground, answered calmly, and then slowly got up with his left hand on the ground.
Raising her head, her clear eyes did not flinch to the emperor behind the imperial case, raised her left hand, and gently peeled off the skin on her face, revealing her true face.
Emperor Mingzong's eyes stared at the calm Lin Ruo for a moment, looking at her sad and joyless face, for a while, he didn't know whether his mood was more angry or more shocked, especially between this surprise and anger, mixed with indescribable happiness. On the face of the emperor who has passed for half a hundred, he has already shown an old appearance, looking at the face that has not been seen for many years and Lin Yuan'er is so similar, he has mixed feelings, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say, and finally turned into a sentence: "Are you still alive?" ”
Lin Ruo replied nonchalantly: "Yes, I'm still alive." After a pause, he continued, "But my child is gone, and my right hand is gone. ”
Emperor Mingzong was speechless, looking at Lin Ruo's appearance, he felt more and more like Lin Yuan'er who was trapped in the cage of Gu Mansion back then, the Lin Yuan'er who mourned more than his heart died - he looked like he was alive, but the whole person's anger was gone, and he reacted very indifferently to anything.
No, there is still a difference, Lin Yuan'er's reaction is really nostalgic and careless, but Lin Ruo is like a wave after reading all the vicissitudes of life, and it is a kind of calmness that controls everything in the palm of her hand.
That look, that bearing, is like ...... is like the Empress Dowager Xianruiwen, who has passed away for many years!
That's right, just like her!
That shouldn't be the calmness and calmness that Lin Ruo should have at his age!
For a moment, Emperor Mingzong was shocked by Lin Ruo's calmness, and he suddenly remembered that when he questioned Lin Qi and Li Yan at that time, he got a reply: A long time ago, the Lin family's business was all under Lin Ruo's layout.
Xiangxue Sea, Oiran Selection, Star Picking Building, Grain Road......
Now that I think about it, the so-called renting Fenghuaxue to the Bai family is just an excuse to hide from the world and the sea, an excuse for people to relax their vigilance against the Lin family. The wind and snow are still the cornucopia of the Lin family, and the Qixi begging Bianhe painting boat is also Lin Ruo's idea.
However, how did Lin Ruo know about the Wing Fire Guard? Could it be...... Composer? Dian Guogong? Qu Xiaoxiang?
Where is the owner of this Xiuyu jade pendant? How did Lin Ruo meet him?
