Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prince of the Cold Palace

Lin Ruo was not worried about Leping, and hurriedly came to find someone.

The study was in shambles, the lights were extinguished, and the whole room was empty. Lin Ruo tried to shout twice, but no one answered.

Further inside, I saw some corpses lying on the ground, and the blood flowed red on the ground. The smell of blood on his face made Lin Ruo completely panicked and hurriedly ran inside.

"Your Majesty, where are you? Your Majesty...... Leping, where are you?"

"I'm here. ”

Leping hid in a black corner, looked up at Lin Ruo, his eyes were wet, and he looked like he had just cried.

"Lin Ruo, you finally came to me? I thought ...... You're not coming. There were so many monsters that they killed all the guards, and I was so scared that I could only hide in the corner. ”

The more Le Ping spoke, the more pitiful he became, pulling Lin Ruo's sleeve and rubbing tears on it.

Lin Ruo was helpless, "Your Majesty, you are already a man, why are you still as ignorant as before?"

"Yes, I'm ignorant, but so what? You said it, you will always be by my side and won't leave, has Lin Ruo forgotten?"

Lin Ruo helped the person up from the ground, "That's just a joke when I was a child, and jokes can't be taken seriously." Does the emperor understand?"

"Understood?" Leping angrily pushed Lin Ruo away, "What kind of joke, I don't allow it, when I was a child, you were the one who took me out of the cold palace." It was you who said that you would always be with me, and what you said has always been in my mind, so Lin Ruo I don't allow you to say this. ”

Lin Ruo's face changed immediately, not only because of Leping's accusation, but also because she found that he was too dependent on her. "The emperor is the king of a country, and the most taboo thing as a monarch is to be emotional and be caught by others. ”

Le Ping said, "What is the weakness, if my weakness is Lin Ruo, then I am willing." ”

"You!" Lin Ruo was completely stunned by Leping, "You know that with weakness, there is only one end for the emperor." Have you forgotten what I have taught you on a daily basis? Everything should be done with the people of the world first, and we must not act rashly. Where do you put the well-being of the people now?! I have not taught you such an apprentice, let me kneel here, reflect on it, and when will I figure it out and get up again!"

"Yes. ”

Leping rarely saw Lin Ruo so angry, and he was also taken aback. I didn't dare to make people angry again, so I had to kneel on the ground obediently.

Lin Ruo saw that the little monarch was so deferential, he was even more angry, and left without looking back.

Leping watched Lin Ruo walk out, his eyes sank, "We will definitely be together all the time." ”

Leping still remembers the first time he saw Lin Ruo under the plane tree in the cold palace, it was snowing that day, and the snow was so big, so big. He desperately climbed to the sycamore tree in the courtyard, trying to break the branches of the tree. However, the weather was too cold, my hands and feet were frozen and painful, and my little body was blown by the cold wind, and my feet slipped and fell.

The tree is very tall, and imaginable pain never comes. Instead, it fell into a warm embrace, with an unknown good smell.

Leping opened his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was dressed in white and wearing a good-looking mask. The eyes seen from the mask are beautiful, and they seem to contain countless stars and seas in their flashes.

She looked down at him, gentle as if she were about to drown. Leping was confused for a while, but he still struggled to get out of her arms.

"Back to the high priest, he is the son born to Concubine Shu. The little eunuch in charge on the side said flatteringly.

Leping and her mother are often blinded and bullied by the little eunuch on weekdays, and they naturally can't be obedient when they see people. Seeing that the little eunuch was obviously afraid of Lin Ruo, Leping thought about it, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ruo's snow-white sleeve, and pointed at the little eunuch.

"Sister, he bullied me and my mother. ”

The little eunuch didn't think that Leping would sue the high priest, so his legs were weak in fright, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"High Priest...... The villain was confused for a while, and asked the high priest to forgive his sins......"

The little eunuch thought that Concubine Shu would never turn over by stealing people behind the monarch's back and being demoted to the cold palace, so he abused the mother and son. Where do you think that several princes of the emperor died in the battle for the throne a few days ago. The monarch is over half a hundred years old, and he fell ill in bed after the loss of a son, and it is impossible to have another prince at this time.

At this time, I don't know who proposed to let the child born by Concubine Shu of the cold palace go to the blood to recognize his relatives, if it is really the prince and established as the prince, Le Xu Jiangshan will not have no successor.

The object of abuse is likely to become the lord of the world, and it is not easy to take the life of a eunuch from him?

"If you go down and receive punishment for your mistakes, I will check it, and if there is a false thing, you will not be the only one who will be punished. ”

After Lin Ruo finished speaking coldly, he took Leping's hand and walked forward.

The little eunuch knelt in the snow and wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only choke constantly. The death penalty was inevitable for his mistakes, and the high priest was fortunate that his family was not implicated, and if he begged for mercy, it might bring harm to his family.

Leping was wrapped in Lin Ruo's warm hand, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, so he could only let others lead him forward.

"Sister, why are you helping me?" asked Leping tentatively.

Lin Ruo said, "Because the world needs you." ”

"The world needs me, and my sister comes to me, so why doesn't my sister come early, so that the mother won't be sick. ”

Lin Ruo clenched Leping's hand, "Concubine Shu is sick?"

Leping lowered his head, "The concubine has been sick for a long time, and she has been coughing up blood recently, so I want to break some dead branches to make a fire and make the concubine warmer." ”

The child spoke, his voice getting quieter and quieter. Lin Ruo didn't delay either, and hurriedly walked to the house.

Outside the house, there was a coughing sound that was heartbreaking.

When she pushed the door in, Concubine Shu was lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, and next to the bed was a basin of frozen blood.

Leping ran over and tucked the quilt for his mother.

Concubine Shu stretched out her hand and touched Leping's head lovingly. "Leping, you go out first, I have something to talk about with the high priest. ”

Although he was unwilling, Ke Leping walked out.

The two talked for a long time in the house, and Leping was worried about staying at the door. It wasn't until ten in the middle of the night that Lin Ruo called him in.

That night, Leping saw the last side of his mother's concubine, changed his previous weak appearance, leaned on the head of the bed and watched him walk in, without a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

She made him kneel on the ground, and Bai Lin Ruo was his teacher. Leping was afraid that his mother would be angry and cough up blood, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and worshiped Lin Ruo as a teacher as required.

Leping knelt on the ground, and the concubine said a lot to him. Let him be the high priest, do not be disobedient, let him not take revenge, but become a wise king.

After explaining the matter, the mother still went. Leping remembered that when he was young, he hugged his mother's body and cried into tears, and he couldn't stop it.

Later, Lin Ruo took him off his mother and comforted him softly, saying that she would always be by his side and would not leave.

Lin Ruo's words have been remembered by Leping for many years.

Blood-dripping recognition, blood blended, he became the new prince of Lexu, and the old monarch died of illness a few days later.

Leping hadn't seen his father a few times, so he didn't feel anything about his death, but under Lin Ruo's hint, he desperately shed a few tears.

He was the first emperor to succeed to the throne, but he ascended to the throne at the age of five and took charge of the imperial court. Although it was just an arrangement by someone with a heart, Ke Leping still became the emperor of Lexu's name. Stay by Lin Ruo's side and accept the teachings, this teaching is more than ten years, from a child to what it is like now.

Time has left its mark on everyone, and in Leping's heart, Lin Ruo is the only light in his dark time, he can't let go, and he will definitely not let go.

Coming out of the imperial study, it was already getting brighter, and Lin Ruo beckoned the little eunuch next to him to come over.

"Go and tell the ministers that last night there was a vision from the sky, and the emperor was frightened, and he will not go to court this morning. And also...... Let the prime minister bring people to appease the refugees, and be sure to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

The little eunuch listened to Lin Ruo's words, nodded again and again, and hurriedly walked to the main hall.

As soon as the little eunuch left on the front foot, Zhang Lian rushed over on the back foot.

"High priest, sure enough, I caught someone who wanted to fish in troubled waters. ”

Outside the priest's hall, dozens of forbidden soldiers pressed dozens of black-clothed people up. Lian Hua glanced at it twice and walked around.

"Why are you all here to see the play, or do you want to perform on stage?"

A man in black was dissatisfied with Lian Hua's words, and struggled to get up, but was pressed back by the guard next to him. "I advise you to let us go quickly, otherwise Lord Zhai will definitely not let you go!"

"Won't you let us go?" Lian Hua smiled, squatted down and looked at the man in black, "Tell me what you saw and we are deciding whether to let you go, by the way, let's see if the Lord Zhai you said can save you?"

"You!" The man in black was obviously stimulated by Lian Hua, his eyes were oozing bloodshot, and he was very killed, Lian Hua was not angry, but just smiled angrily.

Lian Hua said, "In the past, what I was best at was torture to extract confessions, but now although it has been a long time, I can still remember some of them." You know what kind of death hurts the most, that is, you can't die if you want to die, you can't live if you want to live. And the most painful part of this method is to cut off half of the flesh of the human body, including the belt, and occasionally bubble it with salt water or fine wine. Feed you delicious food and drink every day, and when your new meat grows, you will use a knife to rip off the meat. I remember that the dog seemed to be particularly fond of this new meat, and could eat a large pot each time. And so on and so on, how many days do you think you can last?"

"Don't say it! I don't want to hear ......"

Maybe the method Lian Hua said was too cruel, and even Yan Xi couldn't help but feel a chill, I don't know how he came up with this method.

Lian Hua said, "Don't you want to hear it, you can also tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to control it if it's you." ”

"You weren't sent by Lord Zhai. The man in black wanted to say more, but he was debunked by Lin Ruo, who rushed over. "Although Lord Zhai is extremely vicious, he is not enough to do such a thing as assassination. Lin Ruo said that Lin Ruo's life is here, if he wants to take it, Lin Ruo will never blink an eye. So...... Who the hell are you from?!"

The man in black was obviously frightened by Lin Ruo's resoluteness, and was silent for a while before speaking. "The High Priest is too confident, we adults are not very ordinary to you, otherwise we would not have punished you again while you were in custody. Isn't there something wrong with the high priest Mo who thinks that we adults will let you go easily?"

When Zhang Lian heard this, he knew that he wouldn't be able to ask anything for a while, so he hurriedly waved his hand and let dozens of people in black be escorted down.

"They're not the same people they caught last night. Yun Zhu said coldly. "The person last night was obviously a well-trained dead soldier, and once he was caught, or the secret was leaked, he immediately took poison and committed suicide, and the people in black just now did not have high martial arts, and their kung fu of reversing black and white was very good. ”

"Yun Zhu Gongzi is right, I found them at the high priest's residence. Dozens of people were sneaky and were caught in a few clicks. The martial arts are not high, the moves are simple, and it really doesn't look like a specialized assassin, but like a ...... Deliberately let them catch it. ”

Lin Ruo thought for a while, "You go and investigate this matter carefully first, and ...... The corpse in the imperial study will be disposed of by the way. ”
