The emperor sent troops to guard the palace gate to resist Lin Wanshan's invading army, and even more to prevent Lin Wanshan's men and horses from secretly attacking.

The more Yu Xuanxun listened, the more angry he became, and reprimanded, "It's really too deceitful, if it weren't for Lin Xinxu's sake, which gave birth to a pair of children for the royal family, how could he be allowed to be so arrogant." He should have been slashed with a thousand knives to set an example. ”

"I'm afraid he is just using Lin Xinxu's name to achieve his ambitions." Lord Rui frowned and analyzed, "If Lin Wanshan really cares about his daughter, how could he let her be alone in the palace for so long. But for his own son, he is very protective and sends people to protect him secretly, even if he is just a useless waste in the eyes of everyone. ”

The eleventh prince speculated in surprise, "Listening to the meaning of the second brother's words, I must have planned to capture Lin Wanshan's stupid son as a bargaining chip." ”

"It's a pity that he escaped in the end, which shows that Lin Wanshan still invested a lot of money on this son." Lord Rui's tone was full of regret.

Yu Xuan prayed solemnly, "I hope that the Nine Princes' plan can go well, so that we can crush the Lin family's ambitions without spending a single soldier." ”

Before the words fell, the chief manager of Laining returned in a trance, "Your Majesty, the report from the front said that Lin Wanshan used the little prince and his grandson as a threat, and threatened to let the emperor abdicate and make way for Xian, otherwise he would ...... in front of everyone outside the palace gate Pinch to death...... The Little Prince. ”

"He dares." The emperor was furious, and said in a harsh manner, "Is there any news from the Nine Princes?" ”

Seeing that he was shaking his head blankly, Yu Xuanxun hurriedly said, "Che'er's condition is critical, if you can't wait for the response of the Ninth Prince, the emperor must hurry up and find a way to rescue Che'er." If he had anything to do, the concubine wouldn't want to live. ”

Looking at her resolute expression, the emperor fell into an unprecedented difficult choice for a while, and bad news kept coming from his ears, and his mood became more solemn.

When the country and its children are in a predicament at the same time, and there is a situation of choosing one of the two, how to weigh it?

Prince Rui saw the emperor's embarrassment, and took the initiative to ask, "The country and the descendants of the royal family are equally important, and the ministers will do their best to protect them." ”

"My brother is willing to go with me." The eleventh prince swore an oath.

"This ......" When the emperor was still hesitating to weigh the pros and cons of rights and interests, Yuxuanxun decisively helped to decisively decide, "Without further ado, I hope that the two princes will protect themselves while working hard, don't forget that there are still family members waiting for you." ”

Shi Ruomei and Princess Rui glanced at each other, and said in unison, "I wonder if I (the courtier) can go together?" ”

"No."

"Nope."

The eleventh prince and the prince Rui refused one after another, and the emperor finally made up his mind and said, "Lin Wanshan will be handed over to you, remember to ensure the safety of the children, and bring Lao Jiu back with you." ”

"Obey."

Time passed slowly in torment, and since the two princes took action, the front seemed to have lost contact for a long time, and they couldn't wait for any news, but instead looked forward to the queen mother and the two princesses of the ninth prince.

"Your Majesty, have they all been rescued?" The Queen Mother asked anxiously.

The ninth princess was anxious and said, "I wonder if my prince can be safe?" ”

"Rest easy." Yu Xuanxun's mind was all about the situation outside, and he comforted indifferently, "These questions can't be answered outside, so let's wait patiently for good news." ”

The sky was slowly darkening, and it was already the time to hold the lamp, and everyone in the imperial study had their own thoughts.

Several times, the emperor couldn't hold back his temperament, and planned to confront Lin Wanshan in person, after all, he was the king of a country, how could he do nothing here, and he was persuaded by Yuxuanxun to come back.

"The emperor's sorrowful concubines understand, but the country can't be without a king for a day, no one can know what Lin Wanshan is thinking, or choose to believe in the three princes."

Empress Dowager Xiaohui sighed deeply and blamed herself, "It's all the fault of the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family being bewitched by Lin Xinxu, how would they have connived at the Lin family's power to grow, and even dared to rebel." If there is any case, even if the mourning family dies a hundred times, it is difficult to escape the blame. ”

"Don't say that, since they have a plan, how can they be so easy to be recognized, no wonder the Queen Mother." Princess Rui comforted without any worries.

The Queen Mother just looked at her and smiled, no longer speaking.

After that, the fights outside kept coming, grabbing everyone's hearts, until the appearance of Xin An's father-in-law made things turn around.

"Looking for the concubine, the little prince is back."

Yu Xuanxun hurriedly went to support his father-in-law Xin'an, who was covered in blood, and Shi Ruomei took Che'er from his arms, "Father-in-law, how could you?" ”

"The little prince is the person that Niangniang cares about the most, and Niangniang is the person that the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu cherishes the most, and the old slave does this to fulfill the master's wish and protect Niangniang." A mouthful of blood gushed out.

Yuxuan hurriedly called, "Imperial Doctor, go and ask for the Imperial Doctor." ”

"No need Niangniang, the old slave knows that his life is not long, so there is no need to bother." Father-in-law Xin An weakly explained, "The three princes have won a big victory, Lin Wanshan has been subdued, and the old slave is already satisfied with protecting the little prince desperately." ”

"Father-in-law Xin'an, you will definitely be fine." Yuxuan said sadly.

"Niangniang doesn't need to be sad, the old slave can finally go to see the master." Father-in-law Xin An finally left.

Princess Rui and the other two princesses couldn't wait to rush out, Yuxuanxun also followed, Shi Ruomei handed over Che'er to the Queen Mother and left the imperial study.

The emperor naturally couldn't stay, and followed them to the palace gate.

The ninth prince was escorting Lin Wanshan in, Prince Rui and the eleventh prince were each holding a baby, Lin Xinxu chased after him staggeringly, pulling the corner of Lin Wanshan's clothes and crying, "Everything my daughter does is for her father's great cause, why can't she tolerate her daughter's existence in the end?" ”

"It's only that you're not a man." Lin Wanshan snorted coldly disappreciatively, "No matter how smart you are, you are only a woman, and you can't get on the stage." If you sacrifice one person, you can make the Lin family ascend to the throne, and it can be regarded as the greatest creation in your life, but it is a pity that it is still destroyed in your hands. ”

Lin Xin suddenly smiled stupidly, and only after a long time did he show a terrible expression and asked, "In this case, my mother was also killed by you with your own hands, right?" ”

"That's right, it's only her that she has to stop the divorce. It has long been planned to let you enter the palace draft, how can you let her woman's benevolence be destroyed, so she must die......"

Before Lin Wanshan's words were finished, Lin Xinxu had already drawn his sword and penetrated his body, and said in a terrifying tone, "Lin Wanshan, you really deserve to die, I will avenge my mother today." ”

"Lin Xinxu, you madman." Lin Wanshan rebuked in disbelief.

Her eyes were red and she sneered, "Who is the fault of me becoming the way I am now, I can't be happy, and you don't want to make a living." ”

No one thought that it would end in such a way, Lin Wanshan died, his men and horses were also controlled, and most of them had defected to the imperial court.

But before he had time to rejoice, more urgent news came, Tiefeng Guoxing troops were coming, the enemy army was menacing, and Yujing asked for support.

Originally, he was still having a headache about how to deal with Lin Wanshan's old department, but now he has a place to go.

So the emperor ordered King Rui and the eleventh prince to go to the border to fight the enemy together, and they were naturally obliged, but Shi Ruomei was a little reluctant.

"If you wait for the king to return with peace of mind, I will definitely come back to marry you in a beautiful way."

said that the family members stayed in the palace, but in the end, Princess Rui secretly followed, and the emperor could only turn a blind eye.

After Lin Xinxu killed her father with her own hands, she lost her mind, and the emperor remembered that she was the biological mother of the dragon and phoenix fetus, so she was extra kind and sent her into the cold palace and revoked her title of concubine.

The emperor proposed to Yuxuanxun more than once that he wanted to canonize her as the queen, but in the end she refused for various reasons, and the matter was over.

It's just that the responsibility of raising three children falls on her, and the Queen Mother comes to visit from time to time, and the relationship between them has slowly become harmonious.

Today coincided with the Queen Mother's arrival, Princess Huayang proposed, "Originally, the emperor's brother was worried that the ninth brother was still worried that the ninth brother still had the intention of rebellion, so he was unwilling to release the shackles on him, but now he has shown his heart, and it can be regarded as a great achievement, and it is time to return him to freedom, right?" ”

Seeing that the emperor did not respond, Princess Huayang gently pushed the Queen Mother and signaled with her eyes, and the Queen Mother seconded the proposal in understanding, "What Huayang said is not unreasonable, the emperor should restore the position of the prince of Lao Jiu." ”

"Your Majesty, since the Queen Mother has also spoken, let's respond."

"The Divine Decree has already been prepared, but I have not been able to find the right opportunity. Let Huayang go and announce it in person now, and it can be regarded as fulfilling your wish. As he spoke, he put the holy decree into the hands of Princess Huayang.

She held the holy decree and jumped with joy, and thanked her again and again, "Thank you to the emperor for your success, Huayang will go to Liuyu Palace." ”

"The crisis in the court has finally subsided, and the mourning family had many misunderstandings about the concubine in the past, but now I understand who is sincere." The Queen Mother said earnestly, "Looking for a concubine, the back position has always been empty, and the mourning family was deceived by Lin Xin and turned a blind eye to you, but now I think you are the best candidate for the queen." ”

The matter after the seal was mentioned again, but Yuxuanxun was still unwilling to accept it, perhaps because he had no real relief for the emperor.

After all, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor said that he was single-minded and had no two hearts for himself, but both his body and his heart betrayed his oath more than once.

Yuxuan didn't know whether to entrust his sincerity again, so he resisted the canonization for a long time.

"Mother, where are you planning to be?" Luo Er asked puzzled.

"Cold Palace." Yu Xuanxun still decided to go to Lin Xinxu to ask some things clearly.
