Chapter 395: Dark Taboo 3
Lin Ruo did think clearly, but in the eyes of Emperor Mingzong, he was just a little more intelligent than ordinary women, and he didn't think deeply enough after all.
If you don't want to get bogged down, is it enough not to take the initiative to enter?
Of course not!
The vines that grow in and around the mire will do their best to pull people and things they can reach into the mire! Even if they can't pull, let them splash with sludge.
Lin Ruo was right, at the beginning, Lin Yuan'er didn't want Lin Qian to get involved in court disputes, and secondly, she hoped to continue the business of the Lin family in Jinling, so she asked Lin Qian for the identity of "imperial businessman".
But after so many years, the Lin family's business has grown little by little, and they have become the richest man in Beijing, how can anyone not covet it?
The little girl brought a jade pendant to ask him to marry Murong Chong, but she didn't think very deeply, probably just because she felt that although Murong Chong was treated as a prince, he had no right to inherit, and there were no concubines in the house to disturb the back house. But has she ever delved into it, King Rong has already fallen into the quagmire of the regime of the crown prince and King Ye!
Of course, in comparison, Su Muyu is not a suitable candidate.
- Because Lin Yuan'er doesn't know anyone and is not a person, Emperor Mingzong is actually quite concerned about Lin Ruo's marriage.
Thinking of Su Muyu, Emperor Mingzong thought of the prince who tried his best to match Su Muyu and Qu Xiaoxiang, and he was a little angry! He is still alive and strong, and the crown prince has been constantly wooing his courtiers and calculating his throne!
Thinking about it this way, between the elimination of one and the other, the fear of Lin Ruo and the Lin family has been reduced.
"Your Majesty, Minhui will tell you the truth......" Lin Ruo lowered her head and lowered her eyelids, so that people couldn't see the emotions on her face clearly, but she could hear the frustration in her tone, "Uncle he's sick." ”
Is Lin Qian sick?
Emperor Mingzong frowned, this news came suddenly.
And looking at Lin Ruo's appearance, Lin Qian's illness is not small!
"Three years ago, Master Mo found out that the depression accumulated over the years, and the knot did not disperse, resulting in acne in the spleen, which was difficult to soothe. The liver and spleen are out of harmony and often painful. I have been using medicine to recuperate, but I can't cure ......"
Emperor Mingzong didn't understand medical science, and when the imperial doctor came to ask for peace and order, he also asked for a result, and listened to Lin Ruo's description of Lin Qian's condition, and he also heard it in a fog, but he could still understand "acne", "often painful", and "incurable", which meant helplessness.
"Serious?"
"Well, Master Mo said that it can't be cured, so it can only be delayed. The whole Lin Mansion, except for the housekeepers, was kept in the dark, including Xiao Qi. Lin Ruo's voice was a little choked, and she didn't need to look at it to know that her eyes must be red, "That's why my uncle will be so aggressive and make the Lin family's business bigger, he wants to leave Xiao Qi and me a fortune, a wealth that you don't have to worry about in this life......"
This is in Tuogu!
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, of course Emperor Mingzong understood Lin Qian's reason for doing this.
"So, it was Lin Qian who asked Li Yan to come back?"
Lin Ruo raised his head slightly, and sure enough, his eyes were red, and he nodded slowly: "Yes." ”
Emperor Mingzong was silent for a moment, and then asked: "The reason why you refuse to let the Lin family supervise the matter of the 'Qingmiao Law' is because you are worried that once Lin Qian has an accident, Li Yan and Lin Qi will not be able to support the Lin family, and they will cause disaster to the Lin family at this time?" ”
Lin Ruo pursed her lips and nodded solemnly again: "This is a reason. ”
"What else is the reason? Don't want the Lin family and the prince to get too close? ”
Lin Ruo shook his head: "Your Majesty, people's hearts will change. Although it is only a cursory hearing, Minhui feels that the 'Green Seedling Law' is a good prescription for the benefit of the country and the people, and if it can be properly implemented, it will definitely make the people have enough food and clothing, and the treasury will be rich in money and food. However, corruption is not only in the court, but also in other places, including the Lin family. In this matter, if the Lin family can't support it, it is a big crime to mislead the country and the people; If the Lin family can afford it, Minhui can't guarantee that with such a huge wealth, the Lin family will not use it for personal gain...... Even if the Lin family can really guard their hearts like jade, they may not be able to resist the attacks of people with red eyes. ”
Right now, because of the Xiangxue Sea and the daily progress of the Star Picking Tower, the Lin family is already on the cusp.
Emperor Mingzong was silent.
When Lin Ruo was in the Gu Mansion, she was bullied by the Gu Mansion, so the prudence in her bones would remind her all the time that she had to think twice before acting.
"Your Majesty, the woman doesn't say anything about her father, although Minhui and the Gu family have drawn a clear line, but Gu Shangshu is Minhui's biological father, and it can't be erased. In the past, what kind of person Gu Shangshu was, Minhui was just hearsay, but the emperor's holy order should be much clearer than Minhui. However, what about Gu Shangshu today? ”
Emperor Mingzong's eyes sank instantly.
In the past, Gu Ting was a down-and-out lawyer, who could write a complaint without taking a penny in order to avenge the grievances of poor people; In order to thank Lin Kite for her kindness, you can do your best to ignore the danger and unjustify the old case of the Lin family in Jinling!
But what about later? He let Lin Kite die resentfully in illness, he acquiesced to the bullying of Lin Ruo by the Lu family's mother and daughter, and even secretly took refuge in King Ye!
Witnessing that not only Gu Ting, an aspiring scholar, has slowly become a profit-hungry politician, including himself, he has also slowly changed from a young emperor with high ambition to a lonely person who is good at using imperial power to balance everything, and Emperor Mingzong's feelings about "people's hearts are changeable" are naturally more profound than Lin Ruo.
He looked at Lin Ruo silently, because of the grief in his heart, Lin Ruo's eyes were red, but his eyes were still clear, which made people believe her words without hesitation, and it was from the bottom of his heart.
It is because Lin Ruo dares to confess like this, can confess like this, so he is willing to listen to this precious words!
How could he be suspicious and jealous of such a sincere child with a rare and precious heart?
Emperor Mingzong felt a little remorseful in his heart, if he hadn't persecuted him so much, Lin Ruo might have kept the news of Lin Qian's serious illness all the time...... If something happened to Lin Qian, wouldn't the remaining Lin Ruo and Lin Qi be like Lin Yuan'er and Lin Qian, who were helpless in the capital many years ago?
Thinking of Lin Yuan'er's suffering in the past, Emperor Mingzong's heart involuntarily twitched again.
"Your Majesty, can you please take back your life now and don't let the Lin family take over the 'Green Seedling Law'?"
There was pleading in his clear eyes.
After a long time, Emperor Mingzong let out a long breath, touched Lin Ruo's head, and solemnly promised: "I, I will grant you what you want." ”
Lin Ruo's eyes widened, and she seemed to be a little incredulous that Emperor Mingzong had agreed to her request so easily!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you ...... Did you really say yes? ”
"You've already said it to this point," Emperor Mingzong glared at Lin Ruo pretending to be angry, "If I don't agree again, wouldn't it be too unkind?" ”
Lin Ruo grinned in relief, sniffed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
"Don't be busy thanking you yet," Emperor Mingzong glanced at Lin Ruo meaningfully and said, "I haven't finished my words yet." ”
