Chapter 45: Dali Temple

Luo Jingxin's hand clenched into a fist, her eyes showed hatred, she paused for a while, stared back at her with vicious eyes, and finally didn't say anything and left the Taifu Mansion.

After Luo Jingxin left, Lin Yanxi thought about it, he and Shen Muzhou were in love.

There are many kinds of affection, not necessarily admiration, they have lived and died together a few times before, which can be regarded as a kind of affection.

Tsk, she quickly shook her head, how could she compare these things, it must be her mother's death that she didn't know in her mind.

After leaving the Taifu Mansion, Luo Jingxin came to the Five Princes' Mansion again.

She just wants to use this to beg everyone, so that everyone in the capital can see that she has a deep affection for Shen Muzhou, so that Shen Muzhou will always owe herself.

Besides, Shen Yu may be the only one in the palace who is willing to help Shen Muzhou.

Shen Yu was drunk, holding a mutton fat jade porcelain wine cup in his hand, and he could barely get out of the house by two dancing girls.

The two dancers were scantily clad and graceful.

Luo Jingxin frowned and covered his nose with a handkerchief, disgusted when he smelled the wine lees on his body.

Shen Yu smiled when he saw Luo Jingxin: "What a rare guest, the high-ranking Chaoyang County Lord also came to see me."

Luo Jingxin saluted and said, "I'm here for the affairs of the Nine Princes. Can you plead for the Nine Princes in front of Your Majesty?"

Shen Yu smiled bitterly, let go of the two dancing girls, sat on the ground dejectedly and said, "Don't you know? I'm the prince my father's least favorite, how can I intercede for Xiao Jiu?"

In fact, Luo Jingxin sees the relationship in the palace clearly, she doesn't think that Shen Yu is the most unfavored, on the contrary, the queen dotes on this little son very much, although the emperor doesn't look down on him on the surface, he is still partial and indulgent in private.

Otherwise, he would have been sent out of the capital long ago.

It's just that the royal family doesn't need a prince like him.

Shen Yu is also affectionate, and at the same time, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't want to offend his father and brother, so he must need a little push to find a way to risk his life to protect Shen Muzhou's release from prison.

"As long as you are willing to intercede for the Nine Princes and let the emperor let him go, I, Anchang Palace, am willing to marry the five princes."

"Seriously? Jingxin, are you willing to ......" Shen Yu felt that her wine suddenly sobered up a lot, and the beads on the head of the beauty in front of her were swaying in the wind, which added a bit of elegance and nobility to her.

Luo Jingxin interrupted him impatiently: "Can I still lie to you in Anchang Palace?"

"So whether you say yes or not."

Shen Yu said happily: "Okay, you wait, I, I'll go into the palace to plead with my father."

He stumbled drunk, went into the house to change his clothes and entered the palace.

Luo Jingxin had already made up her mind, and when she saw the fish taking the bait, she sneered.

When the guests in the mourning hall dispersed, Xu Xiaoniang pinched her waist and twisted into the hall, sighed at Lin Ze and said, "Alas, I'm tired of this day."

"There are so many guests who came to pay tribute, but fortunately, I helped the master usher in them, and finally did not neglect these famous families."

"Master, this lady is in a hurry, so I might as well take care of the affairs of the house first."

Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground and sneered, her apricot eyes frowned slightly, her expression was sad, and she was a little mocking: "Aunt Xu, this abacus has made my mother hear it under Jiuquan."

"I'm still strange, there is my father in this mansion, there is a concubine, and there are descendants of the Jiang family, can there be one of these guests who is here for your Xu family? What are you doing after you run along?"

"I haven't been slacking off, I don't know, I will think that there is no one in my Taifu Mansion, and send a concubine to send them."

Xu Xiaoniang was so angry that she trembled, "Hmph, I have a long life, so naturally the guests in the hall will not come for me."

Lin Yanxi stood up from the ground, because she had been kneeling for too long, her body was a little shaky, and her legs were numb.

She pursed her lips, her eyes were red from crying, her originally beautiful apricot eyes became cruel and obedient, and she gritted her teeth viciously and asked, "How long is the blessing?"

Xu Xiaoniang was frightened by her momentum, but she was afraid that she would go crazy and do something, so she retreated again and again.

Lin Yanxi looked at her and said, "Then you mean that my mother is not blessed and deserves to die so early?"

"A person like you can only live in the gutter for the rest of your life, what blessing do you deserve?"

Lin Ze shook his head and said, "Enough, Zhaozhao, you are too tired, go back and rest first."

Lin Yanxi turned her head to look at Lin Ze, her eyes went from puzzlement to a trace of disappointment, and finally lowered her eyes.

Dad, this is helping Xu.

Xu Xiaoniang knew that Lin Yanxi was not easy to mess with, her eyes fell on Lin Ruoyan's body, and she said to Lin Ze: "If so many big things happen in my mansion, there will be no one to take care of this smoke when it comes back, it is better to go to Yuanyu to study first, and wait for another two years, and the master will arrange a good family affair for the third girl."

Lin Ze listened to Xu Xiaoniang's words and hesitated.

Lin Ruoyan hid behind Lin Yanxi and whispered, "I...... I can take care of myself."

Xu Xiaoniang smiled and said, "These three girls are talking stupid things, how do you take care of yourself? Raising a little lady in the capital is as simple as dressing and eating."

Lin Ruoyan grabbed Lin Yanxi's hand and lowered her head sadly, her mother promised her that she didn't need to be sent out of the house again, but now that her mother is dead, there is no one to support her.

Lin Yanxi clenched her little hand and said, "She doesn't want to leave, my sister doesn't want to leave the Taifu Mansion."

"With me here, as long as Ruoyan doesn't want to leave, no one wants to take her away."

Lin Ze also agreed with this, and said sharply to the Xu family: "I don't want to hear you mention such things in the future, isn't my huge Taifu Mansion still good at raising two little ladies? If you really don't think there are too many people in the house to take care of you, send your daughter away."

"I said a long time ago that I would send you and Lin Kite back to my hometown and Beizhuang, and this is exactly what you and I want."

With tears in her eyes, Lin Ruoyan looked at her sister and father gratefully, they were her confidence in the Taifu Mansion.

Xu Xiaoniang was taken aback and said: "Iris's health has not been good recently, and she can't go out, I also said it casually about Ruoyan, just forget if you don't agree, why be angry?"

Lin Ze was dissatisfied: "I didn't say it casually, okay, let's go back and rest."

After everyone walked out of the lobby, Lin Yanxi glanced back, Lin Zezheng lowered his eyes and looked at the coffin, because Jiang Wan's death was miserable and terrifying, so her coffin only opened a gap.

Lin Ze's eyes were sad, his hands trembled and he touched the coffin, and his eyes were faintly filled with tears.

Lin Yanxi looked back and was in a complicated mood.

After the people dispersed, Lin Ze seemed to whisper to himself: "I'm sorry......

After Lin Yanxi returned to the room, he called Yanyue over.

On the table was a broad knife, a piece of soft gold armor, and a burden.

She suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Lin Yanxi looked at him and asked, "Let me ask you, what have you done to be sorry for me?"

The Dark Night Division found out that Lin Ruoyan should have been hit by a phantom drug in her body, and she happened to have a seizure when she entered the palace, and she asked Ruoyan what she had eaten, and that day Ruoyan ate some snacks outside and ate the osmanthus cake of the moon.

Although she didn't want to doubt the moon, it was really strange when she brought the osmanthus cake that day.

She paused, then shook her head and said, "No. Miss, even if I die, I won't hurt Miss."

His dark eyes stared straight at Lin Yanxi, full of Chicheng and firmness.

Lin Yanxi was shocked by his sincere and bright eyes, he had really experienced too many things recently.

Including the death of her mother, she was even more sensitive and suspicious, she believed in the loyalty of Yanyue, and she should not doubt him.

It's just that she didn't notice that when Yanyue buried her head, a trace of panic crossed her eyes, and it was quickly covered up.

He didn't lie in the first place, he would rather die than hurt Lin Yanxi, as for others, he had to do it as a last resort to protect his younger brother.

Lin Yanxi asked him to get up from the ground, touched the soft gold armor with his hand and said, "You try this, I bought it from the blacksmith

Yes, he said it was invulnerable."

"And this wide knife, the blade is sharp and the hardness is moderate, you can definitely break through the encirclement and fight your way out if you take it with you in real time."

"In this baggage, I put some clothes and coils."

Her voice trembled a little and asked, "Miss doesn't believe me?"

Lin Yanxi shook his head: "I believe in you, I can see your loyalty after you and I have been together for two months, and now that my mother has experienced such a change, I suspect that all this is related to the prince."

When it came to the crown prince, Yan Yue's expression was obviously a little unnatural.

"If I want to fight with the crown prince, I need to have my own force, you are my force, don't forget that I said that you are the one who wants to be a general."

"I'm waiting for the day you become a general, come back and help me."

She was silent for a long time and nodded heavily.

Lin Yanxi continued: "Jiang Changshi in the barracks is my cousin, take my handwritten letter, he will help you arrange everything."

She cried and wiped her tears and said, "Miss, I will definitely become a general, and the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and I will help Miss open the way."

Miss, I have kept every day in mind for the past two months, and I will definitely climb to the position of general as soon as possible, get rid of the threat of the black cloak, protect Miss Thoroughly, and help Miss achieve her wish as soon as possible.

Soshoji Temple.

Shen Muzhou was tied to a wooden frame, his body was already covered in blood, and the two jailers held short cowhide whips with barbs in their hands, the barbs were soaked in salt water, and every time they were whipped on their bodies, they would scrape a wisp of flesh and skin, and the tender red flesh and blood would turn over outside.

Zongzheng Siqing sat on a wooden chair, drinking tea, and the blood from the whip accidentally splashed a few drops on his face.

"Hey, look at it! Where is all this blood spilled?"

He wiped his face with disgust, and couldn't help but laugh a few times when he saw Shen Muzhou being tortured into such a miserable appearance.

The leather whip reverberated in the air, and then landed firmly on the body, and the barbs on the leather whip hooked into the flesh mixed with salt water, and then quickly pulled away.

Zongzheng Siqing took a sip of tea and said, "The Nine Princes didn't expect that they would have today."

"Hehe, don't talk about you, I didn't expect that this Nine Princes, who have always been high, could have today."

"I think back then, when I was just a young lady, I cooperated with the Nine Princes, but I missed a hidden detail, and the Nine Princes actually ordered me to be hung in front of the mansion and beaten a hundred times."

"A hundred times, my boy was just five years old at that time, and he was so young that he saw his father being hung up and beaten, and my child was so scared that he knelt on the ground and called Daddy, and he kept begging you not to beat his daddy."

"So far, my child has suffered from heart palpitations, and he still can't be cured."

"In the days to come, I thought every day and every night, the day when the Nine Princes would not fall into my hands, otherwise I would let him taste the taste of humiliation and torture. But you should have known it a long time ago, which minister in this court you haven't offended?"

"I'm kind of soft-hearted."

When Shen Muzhou heard this, he raised his eyelids weakly, and said with a dying breath: "Do you know that detail is the key to conviction, you killed six lives of a family, leaving only a lonely little girl."

"Why didn't that little girl look at her father, Weng Zu, and die in front of her eyes."

"Who can she beg to spare her family's life?"

However, he did kill too many people, and he can't remember that day when he reprimanded Siqing, Siqing's son was present and begged him.

Zongzheng Siqing waved his hand, smashed the teacup on the ground and said, "Okay, what kind of good person are you pretending to be with me here?"

"Who in this capital doesn't know that your Nine Princes are ruthless and dare to provoke you, even women and children will not let go."

"Go, sign this, you and I will save trouble."

The jailer took the testimony in his hand and presented it to Shen Muzhou, on which were some confessions about stealing jade talismans.
