In all fairness, what Lin Ruo said was her true words.

Fate is indeed the most elusive, especially marriage. Lin Ruo himself came to Donglu by accident, a dignified "white bone spirit" in the new century, and married an ancient. Who can assert that the eighth princess Xijiao, who is a golden branch and jade leaf, is destined to have no chance with that Du Shusheng? At least for now, no one can get off the iron and cut it straight.

The four sisters-in-law he trusted were all on his side, and Xijiao obviously had great confidence in his fate with Du Zhen. Just as he wanted to continue to ask Lin Ruo if he had persuaded Murong Chong, Mei Xiang knocked on the door to report, saying that the emperor had sent someone to summon Lin Ruo to the imperial study.

The emperor summoned, who dares to delay?

And it's still this time!

Could it be that the father noticed something, or did the fourth brother or Su Muyu tell the emperor about it?

Xi Jiao's mood that had just jumped up with excitement became panicked again.

Lin Ruo was relieved: "Wang Ye and Boyu are not tongue-chewers, don't worry." Besides, the emperor only summoned me, not you, so don't scare yourself. ”

"Really?" Xijiao was still a little worried, "What if my father wants to ask alone?" ”

Lin Ruo shook his head helplessly, and gently poked Xiyao's forehead: "Don't scare yourself." Plum makeup, take good care of Xijiao. ”

Xi Ji still tugged at Lin Ruo's sleeve, with a pitiful look on her face. Lin Ruo patted her hand and comforted her again, and then left Xiyu with Youcao, and followed the little eunuch who passed the decree to the imperial study.

Xijiao was still worried in her heart, summoned Mei Makeup to her, and asked, "Mei Makeup, you said that your father summoned the fourth sister-in-law, isn't it really because he knows about me and Yuanzhi?" ”

Mei Xiang nodded firmly: "Princess, Princess Rong said no, then it must not be." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. Princess, you think, Princess Rong is so pleasing to the emperor and the queen mother, how many can guess the thoughts of the emperor and the queen mother. Moreover, if you don't say about you and Du Gongzi, princess, the twelve princes, the fourth prince and the prince, and Princess Rong, how can the emperor know? ”

Mei Makeup's consolation made Xi Ji's little face wrinkle even deeper: "Hearing you say this, so many people already know about me and Yuanzhi...... I- alas! ”

sighed dejectedly, and the next words were all lost in the tightly locked eyebrows.

Besides, Lin Ruo, followed the little eunuch all the way, turned the corner, and the little eunuch saw that there was no one around, so he told Chen Guan to bring him to Lin Ruo word for word.

After hearing this, Lin Ruo frowned slightly. Chen Guan has followed Emperor Mingzong for decades, and he has already pondered the emperor's thoughts very thoroughly. He specially asked this little eunuch to speak, naturally it was not in vain.

In the early dynasty, due to the emptiness of the treasury, the household department went up to the waiter, down to the chief bookkeeper, and a number of officials were impeached, and the emperor took advantage of the emperor's decree to exempt the Lin family's business tax, and let the household participate in the Lin family.

At this time, the emperor was angry and ordered to summon her, but why?

Lin Ruo thanked the little eunuch who reported the news, and his heart was full of thoughts. Youcao presented the full purse in time, the little eunuch smiled, seeing that Princess Derong's pace slowed down, he didn't dare to urge more, according to the speed of the other party, led Lin Ruo's master and servant to the imperial study.

Because he had an unpleasant quarrel with Murong Chong yesterday, Lin Ruo didn't know that the prince had written to the emperor about the Qingmiao Law, but the approximate time would be in these days, Lin Ruo was clear, after all, everything that should be discussed had been discussed.

Although she did not know the details of the impeachment of the officials of the household department, after all, she knew that it was related to a "dark account" of the household department. When Chen Guan asked the little eunuch to report the letter, he did not mention the matter of "dark accounts", which should not be his negligence, but the person who impeached did not mention "dark accounts", and even did not know about the "dark accounts" of the household department. Otherwise, the emperor should not have retreated from the dynasty at this moment, and the previous dynasty should still be in a bloody storm.

Thinking about these two things, about the reason why Emperor Mingzong summoned him, Lin Ruo could roughly guess seven or eight percent.

As for the way to deal with it......

Before stepping into the threshold of the imperial study, she also thought of an appropriate countermeasure.

Gently and decently stepped forward, but his eyes looked left and right from time to time, as if he was looking for something, and then he knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

Lin Ruo's movements were very small, which made Emperor Mingzong feel that she was "self-righteous" and her natural demeanor, but it did not escape Emperor Mingzong's discerning eyes.

"Flat."

"Your Majesty."

Lin Ruo thanked the emperor, and when he got up, he looked at it a few times "very naturally", and found that in the imperial study, except for Emperor Mingzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Chen Guan, the old eunuch who was waiting on the side, there was no one else, frowning slightly, revealing a "puzzled" look, but she "concealed" it very well, and it flashed.

Emperor Mingzong was aroused by her curiosity by a series of small actions, and the words he originally wanted to ask were temporarily put aside, and asked, "Minhui, what are you looking for?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Ruo snorted lightly, as if his thoughts were disturbed, he suddenly came back to his senses, restrained his expression, and replied, "If you go back to the emperor, Minhui didn't look for anything......

As he spoke, his gaze subconsciously drifted a little.

Emperor Mingzong obviously didn't believe it, and a suspicious and dignified voice came from above: "No? ”

Lin Ruo gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No, no." ”

"Minhui," Emperor Mingzong rarely saw Lin Ruo's appearance of lying, and inexplicably felt a little playful and interesting, and the anger accumulated in his heart dissipated a lot, so he looked at Lin Ruo, who had never lied in front of the emperor and was a little flustered, and said majestically, "Bullying the monarch is a big crime, you should know." ”

"I ......" Lin Ruo opened his mouth, then closed it again, pouting, his face was a little aggrieved, and after a while, he said, "Minhui knows...... Your Majesty, Min Hui knew that she was wrong, but ......"

"But what?"

"But Minhui didn't want to say ......"

Lin Ruo's voice was a little muffled, and it sounded like he was not angry. This appearance is like a little pitiful person who has been wronged somewhere, but has nowhere to tell.

Emperor Mingzong frowned slightly, a guess flashed in his mind, glanced at Chen Guan who lowered his eyebrows beside him, and turned his gaze to Lin Ruo, who was downcast: Could it be that Chen Guan, that old thing, secretly passed the news to Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo knew that I was going to be questioned and held accountable, so he put on this aggrieved appearance in advance?

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor's mind is really unpredictable!

Thinking of this, Emperor Mingzong's eyes became dark, and he looked at Lin Ruo, and his tone subconsciously became a little more displeased: "Say!" ”

This loud voice made not only Lin Ruo startled, but he opened his big black eyes and looked at Emperor Mingzong in a daze. Chen Guan, the old eunuch who was waiting beside him, was also frightened, and subconsciously knelt on the ground.

After a while, Lin Ruocai came to his senses, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said uneasily: "Emperor, Emperor, ......"
