Chapter 548: Refusal to Prepare an Edict
The sun is shining, and a shadow is drawn under the wall.
Lin Xiuzhi pulled her to stand in the shadows and drove the accompanying guards far away.
However, he stared at her with a cold face for a long time, and he didn't speak.
It was Lin Jiaruo who was anxious first: "If you have something to say, it will be dark if you don't leave the palace!" ”
Lin Xiu's cold and white face suddenly turned red, and he held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "You stay away from the eldest brother!" ”
Lin Jiaruo's eyes widened instantly: "Why?!" ”
Lin Xiuzhi held back for a long time, and then held back a sentence: "You are a princess, don't form a party!" ”
Lin Jiaruo's eyes suddenly burst into flames: "Is it that whoever I am close to now is a party?" Just imprison me too! ”
Lin Xiuzhi's eyebrows tightened, and he swallowed his anger and said, "Fourth sister, I'm doing this for your good!" ”
Lin Jiaruo sneered: "Second brother, your kindness to people is not something that anyone can afford!" Don't end it, I don't want to see you in my life! ”
Lin Xiuzhi's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes were as cold as a sharp blade, and Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but take a step back, he was a little afraid of him in his heart, and he was worried about Yuan Yan's affairs, so he simply took a few more steps back, and seeing that he didn't move, he ran out of the palace gate quickly.
Daxiangguo Temple is not far away, and when Lin Jiaruo arrived on horseback, the sun had not yet set.
Probably to avoid suspicion, Yuan Yan only sent a small novice to meet her at the mountain gate and brought her into a quiet meditation room.
In the meditation room, the stove has been born and refreshments are ready.
After Yuan Yan welcomed her into the house, he followed behind her and said with a little surprise: "Why did you come so quickly?" Have you ever had dinner? ”
Lin Jiaruo didn't want to have more trouble, so he nodded casually and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yuan Yan glanced at her and said softly, "If you haven't eaten, eat a few pieces of dim sum to cushion your stomach first, right?" You eat, I say! ”
Lin Jiaruo didn't want to argue, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he took the snacks on the table and ate them.
Yuan Yan's eyes softened, and his tone suddenly smiled a little: "This afternoon, Your Majesty suddenly ordered Xie Youqing to draft an edict, and before a few words, Xie Youqing abandoned the pen and knelt down, refusing to draft an edict!" ”
No matter how warm the tone is, it can't hide the horror of the content.
Lin Jiaruo suddenly stopped eating, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he looked at him tightly, and was about to ask, so he said it himself-
"Your Majesty ordered Xie Youqing to draft - abolish the prince's edict!"
Her gaze shuddered suddenly, and all her emotions crumpled together, first crumbling, then shattering.
His hands hung weakly on his knees, and he looked at him in distraction, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the fog was misty, as if he was about to shed tears at any moment, but he never condensed tears.
"Lin Jiaruo ......" he muttered, his heart was flustered, and the prepared response had already been thrown out of the clouds, so he had to say awkwardly, "Don't be sad......
Lin Jiaruo looked at him blankly, and didn't know if he heard his voice, until he couldn't help but take two steps closer, his eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "What should I do?" ”
This question was very light and light, and he was so dazed that he trembled, and his tone became hurried: "Don't be afraid, this won't happen!" The Xie family and the Xie family have already secretly made an alliance with me, Xie Youqing is unwilling to follow the edict to draft an edict, even if the Son of Heaven Chrysostom and Yuyan make an edict, even if the review of the province is bypassed, the Shangshu order Xie Xuanshu will not be edicted, and at that time, it will only be an empty edict, and no one will be willing to follow it!
"The clan relatives, Qingliu, more than half of them, will not agree to abolish the prince, even if he announces it in the court, it will only be a humiliation!"
"Humiliation?" Her eyes trembled again, and finally a tear fell, "Yuan Yan, how dare you look down on my father so much?" He had made up his mind to do something, how could he not do it? ”
The tear fell on her lap and sank into the fabric, but it seemed to burn a hole in his heart.
He clenched his fists, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I, Yuan Yan, have made up my mind to do something, and it has never been done!" ”
Lin Jiaruo looked at him in a daze, as if unconsciously asking, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yuan Yan looked at her with deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about the distribution of troops today?" Although my Yuan generals account for a weak proportion of the twelve guards in the capital, they have led a third of the Guanzhong army......"
"Say no more!" She whispered, looking panicked.
Yuan Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood.
No matter how the forces in the world are distributed, all she wants is her father, to dispel that hurtful thought.
His Majesty the Emperor, how could he give up the abolished crown prince? Unless the reason that made him want to abolish the crown prince no longer existed-
"Yuan Yan!" She lunged up to him and grabbed his arm tightly, causing his gathering thoughts to drift in an instant.
"Don't mess around!" She whispered.
Yuan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Lin Jiaruo, the battle for the heir is not to be soft-hearted......"
Her eyes flashed and flashed, and she still said tremblingly: "Don't mess around......"
He was powerless to refuse such a plea, and he didn't even have time to think, so he couldn't help but respond: "Okay, I won't mess around......"
With a slight hesitation in his heart, he gently covered the hand she was holding on his arm, slowly retracted, and a soft and delicate touch came from his palm, which made his heart gradually rise, and he only felt that it was okay to do anything for her.
Lin Jiaruo was startled and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Yuan Yan subconsciously clenched a little, reluctant to let go.
At this time, Jingzhi's exclamation suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the County King! ”
Big brother?!
Lin Jiaruo was shocked and immediately withdrew his hand vigorously.
When the door was slammed open, she just put her hands behind her back, and it hurt fiercely.
It was not Lin Zhizhi who broke in, but Lin Xiuzhi, looking at her and Yuan Yan with heavy eyes.
"Second brother?" Lin Jiaruo shouted in surprise, before the words fell, Lin Zhizhi also appeared in sight, Lin Jiaruo was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and accidentally stumbled.
Yuan Yan was about to reach out to help, but someone moved faster than him, but as soon as the figure flashed, he took the girl into his arms and laughed softly: "What bad things have you done, so weak-hearted?" ”
"No, no......" Lin Jiaruo grabbed his hand and wanted to explain, but because Lin Xiuzhi was present and couldn't speak, he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiuzhi angrily, "Why are you here?" ”
Lin Xiuzhi's gaze at her and Lin Zhizhi was colder than when he looked at her and Yuan Yan just now, giving her the illusion that she was about to rush over and fight with Lin Zhizhi at any time.
In contrast, the eldest brother was much more gentle and amiable, and said with a smile: "Xiuzhi saw that you didn't return after the time when the palace gate was locked, and I came to Lu Wangfu to look for you-" He lowered his head and looked at her meaningfully, "Ah Ruo said that he went to Lu Wangfu to find me, but he came to Daxiangguo Temple to see Yuan Yan, so it's not good......"
