Looking at Chen Guan, who was kneeling beside him and trembling, and Lin Ruo, who was kneeling in front of the steps with an uneasy face, Emperor Mingzong confirmed the guess in his heart even more: Chen Guan must have leaked the news to Lin Ruo!

Privately spread news in the palace, that's a felony!

This damn old thing!

And Lin Ruo! I always thought that this girl was clever and intelligent, and she could always please him and the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect it to be in such a way! It's just thought-provoking!

Therefore, through the Oiran selection, tens of millions of stones, grains and grass were gathered in the hands of the people, and the reputation was won by offering grain for disaster relief, so that he, the emperor, issued an order to reduce and reduce commercial taxes, and then caused the treasury to make ends meet, maybe it was calculated by Lin Ruo and the Lin family?

Then, it is also in their calculations to use the right to allocate the money for bidding for green seedlings in the Star Tower, and suggest that the imperial court allow merchants to exchange gold and silver for mining rights!

"The emperor is angry!" Lin Ruo, who was kneeling in front of the steps, was busy kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Minhui shouldn't bully the king." It's just that...... It's just that Minhui feels that these trivial family matters should not disturb the emperor's troublesome ......"

"A small family matter? Hum! ”

What a big breath!

Emperor Mingzong laughed angrily: "The treasury is beyond its means, the courtiers are at a loss, and it is difficult to allocate the salaries of the three armies...... If this is a trivial family matter, then what is a major matter in the court! ”

Lin Ruo froze in place, bearing the anger of Emperor Mingzong in a daze, and after a long time, he said in a snort: "Emperor, emperor, this is ...... Minhui is just ...... with the prince It's awkward, and the consequences are ...... So, is it serious? ”

The voice of the argument was as thin as a mosquito and a fly, as faint as a gossamer, but it was particularly clear in the imperial study where the needle could be heard.

This time, the person who was stunned was replaced by Emperor Mingzong, whose eyes were wide open because of anger, and at this moment they appeared more round, like King Kong who was glaring angrily in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. The expression on his face also turned from anger to shock, and it looked a little weird.

"You...... Say what? ”

In the tone of questioning, there was a majesty that had never been taken away.

Lin Ruo knelt on the ground, panicked, his slender body shrunk into a ball, trembling, there was no trace of blood on his pale face, his frightened eyes were filled with tears, I don't know how much control he had to control, he didn't let it fall.

"I, I ......"

Emperor Mingzong realized that Lin Ruo was frightened by his anger and intimidation, and he didn't fail to hear Lin Ruo's words clearly, but just subconsciously asked, wanting to be sure again. Looking at Lin Ruo's appearance, he also realized that his "conspiracy theory" was wrong, Lin Ruo's entry into the palace today, and her so-called "bullying" concealment, were not the same thing as what he thought.

Facing Lin Ruo, Emperor Mingzong will always have a pity from the softest depths of his heart. For a while, the anger faded like a tide, his expression became pleasant, and he asked, "Minhui, are you saying that you entered the palace today just because you had an awkward relationship with Shaoqing?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Lin Ruo responded tremblingly, with a helpless but desperately suppressed cry in his tone.

"Get up, come and tell me what's going on?"

Emperor Mingzong beckoned to her, as if he had changed back to the kind and gentle, pleasant-looking elder. But Lin Ruo subconsciously shuddered, and the whole person didn't seem to have broken free from the panic.

"Chen Guan, go, help Princess Rong up and sit down!"

Emperor Mingzong kicked the old eunuch kneeling beside him not very hard, and Chen Guan, who had already become a human essence, immediately came to his senses, kowtowed and got up, bowed his head and walked down the jade steps, carefully helping the frightened Lin Ruo to get up, probably too frightened, Lin Ruo's legs were weak when he got up, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Princess, beware!"

Chen Guan exclaimed in a low voice, Lin Ruo subconsciously trembled again, and the frightened three souls and seven spirits seemed to have just returned to their positions, and thanked the emperor with melancholy.

"Chen Guan, move a stool for Minhui and sit next to me."

This will startled Lin Ruo again, and he looked at Emperor Mingzong with trepidation, his dark eyes, like frightened little animals, with undisguised resistance.

"Emperor, Emperor...... Min, Minhui...... It's good to be here......"

In a panic, Lin Ruo had to kneel down and salute again, because his arm was still supported by Chen Guan, and he almost stumbled again.

Emperor Mingzong felt a little guilty in his heart, Long Yan was furious just now, and he really frightened this girl! This was the only time he saw Lin Ruo who was so out of shape, and it was also the only time he was angry at Lin Ruo in his memory, and it was an uncontrollable rage.

Of course, because she blamed this little girl by mistake, the guilt in her heart deepened.

Emperor Mingzong did not change his mind, and the old eunuch Chen Guan could only do what the emperor ordered, summoned the little eunuch who was waiting outside, moved a stool and placed it next to the emperor's dragon chair, and then carried the panicked Lin Ruo up the jade steps and waited for him to take a seat.

Lin Ruo lowered his head, his hands twisted uneasily, not daring to face the emperor in front of him. Hearing that Emperor Mingzong called her name, she was another spirit, and then she came to her senses and hurriedly confessed her crime for her failure to be a king.

"Minhui, are you afraid of me?"

"Yes...... No, no, no......"

Emperor Mingzong sighed and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm angry, not at you, you know? ”

Lin Ruo pounded his head like garlic.

"You said, you had an awkward fall with Shaoqing, that's why you entered the palace and went to find Xiji?"

Lin Ruo trembled and responded: "Yes...... yes"

After a little hesitation, thinking of Lin Ruo's appearance when he entered the imperial study, Emperor Mingzong asked: "Do you think that Chong'er is here with me, and you think that I am here to be a peacemaker for you?" ”

Lin Ruo pouted and bit her lip and nodded. After a while, his mood seemed to calm down a little, and in the face of the amiable Emperor Mingzong, he whispered: "It's Minhui who thinks too much, and he ...... I don't think that's going to happen. ”

Emperor Mingzong laughed, and the grievances and disappointment in Lin Ruo's tone were not concealed. Then he asked, "Why wouldn't Chong'er do this?" ”

Lin Ruo puffed out his mouth: "Lord Wang, he ...... I won't bother the emperor with such trivial things. ”

Prince Rong, who has made great achievements, does not smile, is old, and does not change color before the collapse of Mount Tai, how can he make trouble with the emperor because of an awkward quarrel with his princess?

Only a little daughter like her would have such an idea......

Lowering his head, together with Murong Chong's awkward grievances and Fang Cai's grievances and fright, his heart was sour, and his already wet eyes could no longer hold on, and the bean-sized tears fell one after another, smashing on the lake-green skirt, and quickly blurred.

Lin Ruo, who was stubborn and never cried when he begged to clear up the relationship with the Gu family, forcibly held back tears to the redness of his eyes when he mentioned that Lin Qian was seriously ill and had no time left, so he cried defenselessly, Emperor Mingzong looked really distressed, and touched Lin Ruo's head, like a generous and reliable elder.

Lin Ruo kept wiping the tears on his face with the back of his hand, accusing him of "making the emperor smile", but the tears couldn't be stopped.
