Lin Ruoyan led the prince through a secluded gravel road.

Shen Qingyun saw that there was no one around, so he pretended to be sad and said, "Sister Yan'er, I used to be here, and I was punished by your father for slacking off on my homework for a day."

Lin Ruoyan stopped, turned his innocent eyes and asked, "And then?"

Shen Qingyun sighed lightly, "It was Mrs. Taifu who came to relieve me, and at that time, your sister was with Mrs. Taifu, and the little one also told Master Taifu not to punish me again."

Lin Ruoyan's mood was a little soothing, and he suddenly sank to the bottom.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yan'er, it's me who is not good, and I made you sad again, if you want, I can talk to you here, maybe it can make you feel better."

Lin Ruoyan sat down on the stone pier in the courtyard, she intermittently told the prince about her attachment and reluctance to her mother, and in the end she was too uncomfortable.

"When I returned home, I promised my mother that I would tell her all kinds of strange things I had seen and heard when I was studying abroad in the past few years, but I didn't have time to talk to her, and there were too many things I didn't tell my mother, and I didn't tell her how much I missed her all these years away."

"I'm busy going into the palace to play, I'm busy meeting new people, I'm busy ...... Do some trivial things, I thought there was still a lot of time, and what I had to say with my mother could be left for later...... There will be no more future, and I will have no mother."

Her thin back began to tremble slightly, tears flowed down her cheeks silently, Shen Qingyun stood beside her, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and squatted on the ground to wipe away tears for her, regardless of the prince's noble status.

"You don't have to say what you want for your mother, she will know."

Shen Qingyun's voice was warm and powerful, and there was a hint of accommodating and doting smile on his handsome and clear face,

I don't know if it's because he said all the words that he suppressed in his heart, or because the spoiling in his eyes was too warm, Lin Ruoyan's mood was really much better.

She cried hoarsely, "Brother Prince, I really think you are a good person."

Shen Qingyun stared at her and smiled, as kind as a spring breeze and rain, "I'm only good to people I like."

Lin Ruoyan's little face was dyed with a faint flush, and she remembered that her sister had told her about the prince and Lin Kite, and her mood was a little lower.

Shen Qingyun noticed the change in her expression and asked, "Why are you unhappy again?"

Lin Ruoyan has always been a person who can't hide his thoughts, and he has to say whatever he wants.

"Brother Prince, do you like my sister-in-law?"

Shen Qingyun's eyes sank, it must have been Lin Yanxi's words.

In just a moment, his eyes returned to normal, as before, Lin Ruoyan thought that he would be angry or avoid this question, but he didn't expect him to admit it very generously.

"I did it wrong. When I was a child, my second sister interceded for me, and I have always remembered this kindness in my heart, and when I grew up, the daughter of the Lin Mansion entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and the palace banquet has always been attended by the concubine, and I mistakenly thought that Lin Yuan was the second sister who interceded for me when I was a child."

"After a few contacts, she told me that she was a concubine Lin Kite, not the person I sent to her, I invited her to the restaurant to break off the relationship with her, she acted boldly and disregarded the rules, and wanted to ......."

"But I swear I haven't had anything wrong with her, and I don't dare to call myself a gentleman who doesn't sit still, but I know I don't like her, so I won't be seduced by her."

After Shen Qingyun finished speaking, he sneered at himself and said, "Sister Yan'er, I know you won't believe me, just like Yan Xi doesn't believe me."

"I believe in you." Lin Ruoyan blurted out.

When Xu Xiaoniang wants to invite her father to stay in her room, she will also wear a very thin gauze skirt to show off her figure.

Lin Yuan has been utilitarian since he was a child, and he can do anything he wants.

She thought for a while and said, "My sister is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, it's just that she really has no intention of being with you, and the prince's brother should not be obsessed with it anymore, let alone pester my sister anymore, which will only add to his troubles."

Shen Qingyun rubbed her hair with a smile and said, "I have already let go of your sister, I thought I liked her so I was in a hurry to get her to agree to the marriage, and later

She rejected me a few times, and I found that I was not uncomfortable because of her refusal, and I think that I only showed her kindness to her when she was a child, not the love of a man and a woman."

"Don't say that I already know my intentions, even if I am obsessed with her, I will not be strong, that is not a gentleman's doing."

Lin Ruoyan looked at his eyes with sincerity and gentleness, and her mood seemed to have improved.

She still wanted to say something, but there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and Lin Yanxi appeared in the small courtyard.

"Ah, sister."

Lin Yanxi saw that Ruoyan hadn't gone back for a long time, and was worried that something would happen to her, so she came over to look for her.

Her face was gloomy, and she glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, and her stern gaze startled Lin Ruoyan. "Yan'er, come here."

Ruoyan glanced at Shen Qingyun and obediently passed.

Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "Further ahead is Taifu's study, I'll go to his study and wait for him."

Lin Yanxi nodded, and after taking Ruoyan away, she said, "Ruoyan, you must not get too close to the prince, he is not a good-natured person, you go to the mourning hall first, and I will get you some food."

Lin Ruoyan wanted to explain to her sister that the prince was actually a very good person, but her sister was in a bad mood now, so let's solve the misunderstanding between the two of them later.

Lin Ruoyan replied, "I see."

After Ruoyan walked away, Lin Yanxi quietly walked to the back of the study, wanting to see what other tricks the prince had.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Taifu mourns."

Lin Ze knew that the prince's search for him was by no means as simple as condolences, so he asked directly, "Does the prince have anything to discuss with the old minister?"

Shen Qingyun nodded, he waved his hand, and the guards dismissed the subordinates who were waiting in the study, and guarded the courtyard, not letting anyone approach.

The prince took out a wide knife with a broken blade from his waist and said, "The person who stole the jade talisman killed the two guards of the East Palace, and dragged the guards to an abandoned firewood room.

"Early this morning, I found out that one of the guards had a wide knife with a broken blade stuck in his body, and perhaps the whereabouts of the jade talisman could be found through this wide knife?"

Lin Yanxi heard that he carefully pierced the window paper, and peeked in through the gap, and there was a ball of spell around the broken knife.

She had read in ancient books that there was a spell that could be attached to a tool and make it more powerful.

Could it be that the people who stole the jade talisman belonged to the Black Cloak gang?

What is the relationship between the black cloak and the prince, it seems that the hairpin meeting is helping him on the day, but why would a group of people steal the jade talisman?

---

Later, Luo Jingxin took two maids to the Taifu Mansion.

In the mourning hall at this time, only Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground to guard the spirit, she had been kneeling from early morning to now, her lips were pale and her face was expressionless.

Luo Jingxin walked into the courtyard, and when she saw her like this, she quietly evoked a hateful smile.

"Sister Yan Xi." Luo Jingxin smiled, and his eyebrows were dyed with sadness, "Let's mourn."

She paused and said, "At the palace banquet, my sister is sorry for you, and she was angry for a while, and said something that shouldn't be said, causing others to misunderstand you."

Lin Yanxi kept her eyes down, and there was a copper basin burning with flames in front of her, and she picked up a paper gold ingot and sent it to the fire.

Seeing that she didn't talk, Luo Jingxin gritted her teeth and continued, "My sister doesn't want to see me, and I don't want to come here to please me."

"But I'm here today for the matter of the Nine Princes, he was involved in the theft of jade talismans and was imprisoned, do you know about it?"

Lin Yanxi's subordinates paused for a moment, and then continued to throw gold ingots into the brazier.

Luo Jingxin showed a mocking smile and said, "I knew that you knew, and your father was behind this matter, and you ...... Don't you want to save him?"

She took a deep breath and grabbed Lin Yanxi's hand unruly and was slightly embarrassed, "I'm begging you, and I'm begging for mercy."

"Find a way to save him."

Luo Jingxin said,

There were two lines of tears left in her eyes, and she didn't skillfully control her tears to achieve her goals as before, but she was really scared.

Lin Yanxi looked back at her, and when he met her for the first time, Lin Yanxi was attracted by her ethereal temperament.

Luo Jingxin does have this ability, she knows how to move forward and retreat, understands proportions, can get along with people very well, and gives people a sense of comfort.

But later Lin Yanxi found that she was always close to her for a while and calculating herself, so that Lin Yanxi couldn't tell whether she was sincere or false.

But now that she put down her son for Shen Muzhou and came to ask for her help, it can be seen that her feelings for Shen Muzhou are real.

What about Shen Muzhou, is the dynasty he is thinking about in his heart Luo Jingxin?

Lin Yanxi replied, "I'll save him."

"Yan Xi, I thank you on behalf of the Ninth Prince."

Lin Yanxi shook his head and said, "Why do you want to thank you?"

Luo Jingxin's eyes were immediately full of vigilance and said, "Naturally, I have an unusual relationship with him, so it is most appropriate for me to thank him on my behalf."

She swore her *** to Shen Muzhou with these words, Lin Yanxi lowered her eyes, and her heart was sour.

Lin Yanxi added a few gold ingots to the brazier, and Luo Jingxin saw that she had promised to save Shen Muzhou, so she let go of her hanging heart, and said a few more words.

"Then you must go to the Taifu, he loves you so much, he must not bear to make you sad, and he will come to the rescue."

Lin Yanxi nodded.

Luo Jingxin straightened his back and said, "The Ninth Prince, he ...... He has made many enemies in the capital, and how many people want him to die and see him lose power, and he will definitely suffer humiliation and torture when he enters the Zongzheng Temple this time."

"For your sake, I have come to beg you, so I must hurry up and ask the master."

"A minute later, he'll be a little more tormented."

Lin Yanxi naturally had her own calculations in her heart, she actually didn't quite understand why Shen Muzhou's several killings were related to the prince, why he didn't have the idea of competing for the storage position.

In his previous life, he almost died in prison, but he only escaped from Nanmin, and what happened later to decide to rebel and slaughter the city and seize the throne?

As for her father's side, she had already told her father about the stakes, but her father was unmoved, and now that Shen Muzhou has been imprisoned, if she tries to force her father to die to protect Shen Muzhou from prison, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the prince and the emperor.

Luo Jing's goal had been reached, and he turned around to leave the mourning hall.

Lin Yanxi stared at her back and hesitated and said, "The county lord of Chaoyang actually doesn't need to thank me, I saved the Ninth Prince because I wanted to save him, not for anyone's sake."

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to save him, just because of his love affair with me."
