Chapter Seventy-Three: Meet Ximenyin
"Yes, the minion understands." The guards trembled and became scared again, and Lin Xin'er's voice was obviously murderous.
He is just a little guard who serves in the palace to support his family, how can he afford to provoke people with extraordinary backgrounds in the palace? Even if there is no reward that he can't see, he shouldn't confide half a word at will.
"Yo! What's going on? How did you have an assassin? The steward of the criminal room was relieved to see that Lin Xin'er had no other injuries except for being lame and being unable to stand up straight after being scolded with a cane.
Everyone here knows that it is okay for Lin Xin'er to be killed, and if she can't be killed, she is still Princess Xuan, for the sake of King Xuan's prestige, they also have to hand Lin Xin'er alive into the hands of King Xuan after seven days.
"Is that assassin really Gonggong Tao?" The steward asked the guard in disbelief.
The guard nodded hurriedly, "I didn't expect it to be Gonggong Tao." ”
"That old thing, who usually looks so honest, how could he do such a thing? I wonder who instructed him? The steward pondered.
The guard shook his head, ready to ask questions.
Lin Xin'er didn't say much when she waited in the criminal room.
Soon, news came from Jinyang Palace that Ximen Jinglie announced that he wanted to see Lin Xin'er and the guard.
There was a long way from the criminal room to Jinyang Palace, and Lin Xin'er was scolded by the cane for having inconvenient legs and feet, so she walked very slowly, moving like a turtle on the blue brick road in the palace.
"Princess, can you hurry up a little? Don't keep the emperor waiting? Xiao Guizi, who was in charge of delivering the message, urged a little impatiently.
is different from the tone around the emperor, and he dares to show his thoughts.
Lin Xin'er stopped, looked up at the little eunuch, and said unhurriedly, "The emperor has a good memory, and he will not forget that this princess has just been punished by the rod." ”
Everyone knows her "situation", why should you be a little eunuch who is noisy?
"Yes, yes, the slave just reminded the princess to hurry up as quickly as possible, so as not to anger the emperor." Xiao Guizi said.
Lin Xin'er no longer paid attention to Xiao Guizi, lowered her head, and slowly moved her steps.
At night, she had hurriedly traveled from the criminal room to Jinyang Palace, acting quickly, not bothering to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and now she could take this opportunity to familiarize herself with it again.
Suddenly, Lin Xin'er felt that familiar eyes appeared beside her again, as if they wanted to see through her, hiding somewhere and staring at her tightly.
Lin Xin'er pretended to wipe her sweat, raised her head and quickly scanned the surroundings, and the lush tall trees not far away were the best places to hide.
She is now a person who has been hit by thirty boards, even if she can survive "lucky", it is too inconsistent with the truth to walk so strongly, so, under the gaze of those eyes hiding in the dark, Lin Xin'er rolled and fell to the ground.
"Princess!" The guards who followed him shouted nervously.
"Oops, what's going on?" Xiao Guizi was also a little anxious.
"The princess has been scolded with a rod, so naturally she can't go far." Guarding the Road. He knew that his role now was to cover up the fact that Lin Xin'er was safe, and only if he covered it up for Lin Xin'er well, could he get out of this incident safely.
"This ...... The emperor is still waiting! Xiao Guizi stomped his foot anxiously, the emperor didn't say what if the princess was in a coma? has made the emperor wait for so long, and if he goes to report at this time, won't he even make the emperor angry and reprimand himself for doing things badly?
"What's wrong?" Ximenyin came from the side of the road.
"Slaves, see the three princes." Xiao Guizi and the guards hurriedly saluted Ximen Yin.
"This is ...... Princess Xuan? Ximen Yin glanced at the person who fell to the ground, and guessed uncertainly.
"Exactly." Xiao Guizi replied, "It's just that the princess suddenly fell into a coma in the middle of the road, and the slave didn't know what to do?" ”
"Naturally, it's Xuan Taiyi." Ximen Yin didn't want to say anything.
"It's just that the emperor is still waiting in Jinyang Palace to personally try the case." Xiao Guizi said.
"If there is an accident, natural human life is at stake, Princess Xuan was not killed, is she going to pass out on the way to Jinyang Palace? Could it be that you want to count this human life on your father's head? Ximenyin raised his voice a little, and because of the slight fluctuation in his mood, he couldn't stop coughing.
"The minions don't dare." Xiao Guizi hurriedly said.
"You go back to Jinyang Palace first to report to your father, Princess Xuan will take it to Cuizhu Pavilion first, I have all kinds of medicines there all year round, and you can treat Princess Xuan first." Ximen Yin explained.
Cuizhu Pavilion is near this road, so Ximen Yin decided so.
"Okay, the slave obeys the third prince." Xiao Guizi said, since the three princes came forward, he was a little relieved.
Xiao Guizi quickly ran to Jinyang Palace, Ximen Yin glanced at the guards who stayed in front of him, and said, "Carry Princess Xuan to Cuizhu Pavilion." ”
The guards didn't dare to slack off, picked up Lin Xin'er, and followed Ximen Yin to Cuizhu Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the Cuizhu Pavilion, Lin Xin'er smelled the smell of medicine, as if she had fallen into the medicine jar, she had heard that the third prince was weak and sick, and it seemed that the illness was really not light.
"Put the princess here." Ximenyin pointed to a rattan bed in the room.
The guards put Lin Xin'er down.
"Oops!" Lin Xin'er touched the place where she had been beaten by the rattan bed, screamed, and "woke up".
"This isn't Jinyang Palace?" Lin Xin'er turned sideways and looked at the unfamiliar place and said suspiciously.
"Princess Niangniang, this is the Cuizhu Pavilion of the Three Princes." The guard explained.
"The Third Prince?" Lin Xin'er's gaze turned to Ximenyin.
His face was very bad, and he looked even more pale with the white shirt, his body was very thin, and he couldn't help but look weak, and he really couldn't inherit the strong martial arts of the Ximen family, and things like playing the piano and painting were still suitable for him to do.
"Isn't my father going to try some case? You go to Jinyang Palace first, after Princess Xuan rests here for a while, I will find someone to send her, she is my imperial aunt, and my father will not deliberately embarrass her. Ximen Yin said to the guard.
"This ......" The guard looked at Lin Xin'er a little confused.
"You go first, and tell the emperor everything you see." Lin Xin'er said.
This sounded like Lin Xin'er was giving the guard a boost, but in fact, the guard didn't know how much pressure there was.
"Yes." The guards had no choice but to go to Jinyang Palace alone to face the saint.
"The imperial aunt has been scolded with a cane, so it is not advisable to move around too much, and I will lend my sedan chair to the imperial aunt later." Ximen Yin said.
Due to Ximen Yin's frail and sickly health, Ximen Jinglie once gave him a special sedan chair, which stayed in Cuizhu Pavilion on weekdays, and could take it anywhere at any time, which was much more timely than looking for a sedan chair when there was something to do.
