Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Hot Potato
"Ximen Jingyu can't die." Lin Xin'er sat in the Moon Tower, the stronghold of the Water Moon Palace in the capital, and leisurely sipped tea.
It's been three days since she returned to Mochizuki Tower, and it was supposed to be the day for her to return to the door, but she pulled out a pole and broke all the conventions.
In view of the fact that Ximen Jingyu has been doing his uncaring Xiaoyao Hou steadily in the past eight years, Ximen Jinglie is extremely hesitant to think of his brotherhood, but he can't bear Ximen Jingxuan's strong word requirements, not to mention that the danger encountered eight years ago is vivid, and the families of the other two brothers who have already been beheaded are watching from the sidelines, and finally issued a holy decree to execute Ximen Jingyu and give Ximen Jingyu a white silk.
The Hou family members living on the street did not have a new residence, and they still stayed in that tavern, hearing the news that the Hou Ye was going to die, they cried and grabbed the ground, so it was not desolate. Even the poor people sympathized with this royal bloodline.
Thinking that the mighty King Xuan is really heaven and earth compared with the down-and-out Marquis of Xiaoyao in the blink of an eye.
"Master, why don't you intercede for Lord Hou? You are the only one in the whole court who dares to argue with King Xuan, and if you don't come forward, no one will dare to speak for Hou Ye. Liu Suixiang saw Ximenhai disappointed again and again, even if he was mean by nature, he still had a little sympathy.
"Ximen Jingyu's matter is implicated in the sore spot of King Xuan, and it is also a private matter of their own power struggle in the royal family, as a national prince who defends the Qingyuan Dynasty, I only want to protect the stability of the country, and it is not suitable to meddle." Lin Bo sat on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and stroked his beard, "I'm worried about Xin'er now, I don't know what role she plays in everything, will it be from her body that King Xuan can find a breakthrough to deal with me?" ”
"That girl, it's really unlucky, she just married into the royal family, and there was this kind of thing in the royal family!" Liu Suixiang instantly shifted the topic to Lin Xin'er, "There has been no news for three days, and I don't know if I am dead or alive." ”
"Ximen Jingyu, it's not good for me to come to the rescue, but if Xin'er really encounters something unexpected, I can try to embarrass King Xuan, extinguish his prestige, and vent his anger for the Hou Mansion." Lin Bo opened his eyes suddenly, "Xin'er can finally be named in the name of Princess Xuan, and she is worthy of this life." ”
"That's right, no matter what, we are also King Xuan's father-in-law and mother-in-law." Liu Suixiang was overjoyed when Lin Bo said this, she didn't care about Lin Xin'er's life or death at all, she only cared about the vanity she could get, even if she exchanged her life for her, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Huh? Why are you still here? Lin Ke'er, who was about to leave the mansion, had just left the door of the Taishi's mansion, and saw Ximenhai still kneeling at the gate, she knew that he was the son of Xiaoyaohou.
"Miss Lin?" Seeing Lin Ke'er, Ximenhai's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Miss Lin, please help me, help me intercede with the Taishi, please come forward to say a word for my father in front of the emperor, save my father, please!" ”
As he spoke, Ximenhai kowtowed to Lin Ke'er again and again.
Lin Ke'er had never seen this posture before, so she hurriedly took a step back and looked at this thin and weak man who was about the same age as the prince.
is also born in the royal family, and the momentum is completely different, Ximen Hai already lacks the flamboyant spirit of Ximen Jinglie's sons, and he is even more depressed at this time.
"Intercession is just a matter of words." Lin Ke'er said, her eyes rolling, "But I won't intercede for you in vain." ”
"What does Miss need, just say, even if I am a cow and a horse to serve Miss, I am willing." Ximenhai kowtowed one after another, and his straight head was red and soaked in blood.
"Oops, don't do that!" Lin Keer said, "It's not a difficult request, it's just ......"
"Miss said." Ximenhai raised his head and looked at Lin Keer eagerly, Lin Keer at this time was in his eyes a life-saving fairy who suddenly descended in front of him, beautiful and brought him hope.
"There is a chance to help me meet the prince." Lin Ke'er leaned down and whispered in Ximenhai's ear.
Ximenhai was slightly stunned, and then nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Miss, I will find a way for Miss." ”
Lin Ke'er straightened up with a smile and said to Ximenhai, "You stand up first, you are also a royal bloodline, how can you be so low?" ”
"I can't save my father, I'd rather go to Huangquan with my father." Ximenhai knelt resolutely.
"Okay, you kneel, I'll go find my dad." Lin Ke'er said, and turned back to the Taishi Mansion.
"What are you talking about!" Lin Bo listened to Lin Ke'er's words and reprimanded sharply.
"Dad, isn't it better to save someone's life than to create a seventh-level floating slaughter? Simon Hai begs you, because he values your ability, why doesn't he ask others? Lin Keer said coquettishly. In her heart, she has regarded Ximenhai as a stepping stone for her to get close to the prince. Without a chance to get close to the crown prince, she will figure it out on her own. Ximenhai is also a royal child, no matter how bad he is, he is better than others, and he always has some reason to meet the prince.
"You know what!" Lin Bo looked impatient, and said to Liu Suixiang on the side, "Go, take her down, don't make trouble for me!" ”
The death of Ximen Jingyu, who was locked in the prison of the criminal room, was getting closer and closer, and the white silk had been in his hand for a long time, and every time the bell of the hour struck, he felt that he had taken a step towards the ghost gate.
The matter has come to this point, even if he suddenly wakes up and realizes that he was killed by Lin Xin'er, it is too late.
"Lord Wang, the Marquis of Xiaoyao is about to die, and Ximenhai is still kneeling outside the Taishi's mansion." Yang Chen reported to Ximen Jingxuan.
"Limbo." Ximen Jingxuan leaned back in the rocking chair, swaying leisurely, and softly read Lin Bo's name.
"The prince is waiting for Master Lin to come forward?" Yang Chen asked.
"Limbo will not be involved in this matter, the struggle for power of the royal bloodline has nothing to do with him, he only chooses the one who can finally stand at the pinnacle of power, otherwise he will not let go of the opportunity to let his daughter be a pawn." Ximen Jingxuan said, "What this king is worried about is that in order to consolidate his power, he will take Lin Xin'er's affairs against this king. ”
"Princess Xuan has not heard from her for three days, and there has been no movement from the people of Yuehua Kingdom." Yang Chen said worriedly, "The princess encountered danger when she first married the palace, which is indeed not good for the prince. ”
"It's such a hot potato, it's a trouble not to marry her, it's still a trouble to marry her." It's obviously a trouble, but when this sentence came out of Ximen Jingxuan's mouth, it was obvious that it was just a test question to participate in the challenge, and he was not afraid of its difficulty.
Leaning on the rocking chair and closing his eyes, Ximen Jingxuan found that he couldn't match Lin Xin'er's complete face, he didn't pay any attention to her, and the picture in his mind changed, but the face of the woman he had seen in the secret room gradually became clearer again.
