Chapter Forty-Eight: The Giving of Marriage
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground, his eyes did not dodge, and said lightly, "Yes."
Emperor Nan Min said, "Do you know that if there is any mistake along the way between Ruogu and Concubine Yu, you and Taifu Mansion will die without a place to be buried."
Lin Yanxi was still calm, "I know."
Of course she knew that in her previous life, because she didn't do anything, she had been wiped out once
"So I chose Nanfeng Temple, Nanfeng Temple is only a kilometer away from the palace, the thieves at the feet of the Son of Heaven dare not make trouble, and the people of the Dark Night Division are hiding in the dark to protect Your Majesty and Concubine Yu, and I am also by my side."
"If there really are rebels and thieves, I will stop them with my flesh and blood."
Emperor Nan Min snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Your flesh and blood is not worth mentioning compared to the Son of Heaven, you have committed a big taboo, and you should be punished for your guilt."
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground and a cold sweat broke out instantly, angering the Son of Heaven, her actions were indeed too bold, this move was dangerous and urgent, but she had no choice, if she hesitated, Shen Muzhou would suffer more in prison.
"Your Majesty, Shen Muzhou is in danger, and the courtiers have to make this decision, just to be able to meet Your Majesty and express their grievances."
Emperor Nanmin's face when he heard Shen Muzhou's matter really eased a little, except for the unruly fifth prince who was clamoring to intercede with Shen Muzhou, no one in the court was wronged for him anymore.
But the fifth prince is a long-hearted person, he only makes a fuss about letting people go, there is no evidence, how can this person say that he will let him go.
After Shen Muzhou was convicted and imprisoned, he was depressed, so he often went to Concubine Yu to sit, and looked forward to being a little prince in her belly.
"That traitor treasoned and collaborated with the enemy, stole the jade talisman, what else is there to say?"
Lin Yanxi carefully observed the look on Emperor Nanmin's face, when he said this, there was a chill in his eyes, and his tone was stiff, as if he had already convicted Shen Muzhou in his heart before the results of Zongzheng Temple's investigation came out.
However, she still keenly caught a trace of amazement in his eyes after he said this.
She had the courage to guess, "Actually, Your Majesty has long known that the thief will not be Shen Muzhou."
"But all the evidence points to him, and His Majesty has to conform to public opinion in order to stabilize the current politics of Nanmin, and regards Shen Muzhou as an outcast."
When he first saw the dragon's face at the palace banquet, he was dressed in a yellow robe with a golden silk dragon pattern, his head was full of green silk and a crown of white jade hair, and he wore a turquoise jade plate finger on his hand.
Although Emperor Nan Min was nearly forty years old, he did not have any middle-aged men who became fat or had a rickety posture.
But see you again today, a few strands of silver have crawled between his temples, his eye sockets are a little sunken, and his eyes are dark and blue, full of tiredness.
"Doesn't Your Majesty want to give Shen Muzhou a chance? so that he may have a chance to live.". br>
Emperor Nan Min closed his eyes helplessly, and when he opened his eyes again, a fierce expression flashed in his eyes: "How do you know that Gu doesn't want Xiao Jiu to live?"
He naturally knew that Shen Muzhou would not steal jade talismans, and before he made Shen Qingyun the crown prince, his favorite candidate was Shen Muzhou, but Shen Muzhou had always hated him because of the death of his mother.
Shen Muzhou attaches too much importance to feelings, and such a person is embarrassed.
A person who doesn't even want the position of the crown prince at his fingertips, why should he steal the jade talisman to seek power.
It's just that the prince's party puts the evidence in front of him, if he defends Shen Muzhou again, this Nan Min is afraid that the sky will change.
After this incident, it also reminded Emperor Nanmin that the rights of the prince must be reduced, but it must be slowly figured out, in this situation, Shen Muzhou became a victim.
"But....... I told you that you don't understand, Lone has to admit that you are very smart, but the emperor's heart is not allowed to be speculated by anyone, you know, the little girl who is not afraid of death?"
"What qualifications do you think you have to intercede for Shen Muzhou here? It is relying on your Taifu Mansion, the merit is high, and the lord is blackmailed."
His eyes were completely cold, his pupils radiated a sharp light, and his voice was filled with murderous intent.
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, what she was most afraid of was that she would involve the Taifu Mansion
, that's why she wants to be the ninth princess.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Taifu Mansion, just because I have already made a relationship with the prince, and after he came out of the East Palace that day, he sneaked into the Taifu Mansion to have a private meeting with me, and he didn't want my reputation to be damaged, so he never explained the truth."
She took out a white silk handkerchief from her arms, and when the handkerchief was opened, it was the broken jade that Shen Muzhou had given her in prison earlier.
Emperor Nan Min looked stunned, this was what he had given to Shen Muzhou's mother, and on the day he gave the jade, he promised to be a couple with her for the rest of his life.
He thought it was just a love sentence, you must know that he is the emperor, how can he dismiss the harem for her, and it is impossible to even favor one person.
Emperor Nanmin's eyes were deep, and when he looked at Lin Yanxi again, there was more exploration and playfulness in his eyes, "Hmph, okay, my Xiao Jiu will actually have a private meeting with a girl, or a girl from the Taifu Mansion, hahaha."
The originally cold face instantly smiled.
You must know that Shen Muzhou has not been close to women around him over the years, although there is a Luo Jingxin who has always followed him, and has never mentioned the matter of marrying a wife, there are all kinds of ugly rumors in the outside world.
There were even many people who privately talked about Shen Muzhou being a broken sleeve, and Emperor Nan Min was furious after hearing these rumors, but there were so many people that even he was a little suspicious of this Xiao Jiu......
Now it seems that I am thinking too much.
He looked at Lin Yanxi again, her skin was as clear as jade, her nose and lips, especially her round eyes were smart, smart and intelligent, and her temperament was flamboyant and enthusiastic, but she was completely different from Shen Muzhou's mother.
In the past, the queen and the crown prince asked for a marriage letter with the Taifu family several times, but he did not give it for a long time, because if the prince became the husband of the Taifu Mansion, the forces that checked and balanced each other in the court would be unbalanced.
Now the daughter of the Taifu is willing to marry Shen Muzhou, so that she can cut power and the prince.
"Okay, since that's the case, Lone will fulfill your wish, Lone will immediately give marriage and announce it to the world, and at the same time, you and Shen Muzhou will go together to find the jade talisman and wash away the grievances, if you can't recover the jade talisman within two months, you and Shen Muzhou will be executed together."
Tell the world?
Lin Yanxi raised his eyebrows, this is not necessary......
She didn't know where the jade talisman in her previous life was recovered, and vaguely remembered that it was a border city.
Or is it from Xizhou?
If you can't find the jade talisman......
No, she must find the jade talisman, find the spell master, and avenge her mother.
She didn't hesitate to salute, "Courtier, thank Your Majesty."
---
Within half a day after Lin Yanxi returned home, the marriage decree was transmitted to the Taifu Mansion.
Gonggong Li held the holy decree, looked at Lin Zexi, and said, "Taifu, this happy event is coming, congratulations first."
Lin Ze led everyone to kneel on the ground, waiting for Gonggong Li's rice paper, and he glanced at Lin Yanxi for some reason.
guessed that the emperor was going to marry the prince and Lin Yanxi, and he was faintly worried, after all, Zhaozhao didn't like the prince.
Gonggong Li pinched his throat and chanted: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Lin Yanxi, the concubine of the Taifu, and Shen Muzhou, the princess, are a good couple......
Lin Ze knelt on the ground in horror, what?
This majesty wants to marry Lin Yanxi to Shen Muzhou, who has already been imprisoned?
Isn't this clearly asking Lin Yanxi to accompany Shen Muzhou to die?
After Gonggong Li finished reading, he saw that Lin Ze was slow to receive the order, and reminded, "Master Taifu, take the order."
"Don't let down Your Majesty's hard work."
Lin Ze knelt on the ground, refusing to accept the order, and his dissatisfaction was not hidden.
He swore that he would not sell his daughter and would not accept such a marriage.
"The little girl is stubborn and unworthy of the Nine ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yanxi raised his hands high, palms facing upwards and said, "The courtiers accept the decree, thank Your Majesty for the marriage."
Lin stood up and said, "Zhaozhao! Are you crazy?"
"Shen Muzhou has been imprisoned, and you are going to die if you take this marriage certificate."
Gonggong Li coughed lightly twice, and said angrily, "Taifu Shenyan."
"Your Majesty has already decided to release the Nine Princes, besides, you and I are both courtiers, Your Majesty really told you and me to die, can you still resist the decree?"
Lin Ze muttered dissatisfiedly, "I won't die, let alone ask my daughter to die."
"Master Taifu, aren't you afraid that these words will reach Your Majesty's ears? Cure you for the following crimes! At that time, don't talk about your daughter, your whole family will lose their heads!"
Lin Ze's face turned red with anger, "Then cure my sin, I can die, my daughter can't!"
The whole family was so frightened by this situation that they didn't dare to speak, Xu Xiaoniang knelt on the ground and rolled her eyes, this Jiang Wan is dead, Lin Ruoyan is weak and simple, as long as Lin Yanxi goes out of the mansion again, no one in the mansion can stand in her way.
When they sit on the main wife, Lin Yuan and Lin Shibai are the daughters and sons of the Taifu.
She fell to her knees and wept bitterly, "Oh, sir, if you die because of your disobedience, how will we orphans and widows live? Second girl, you feel sorry for the master, I beg you."
"As long as you don't let the lord resist the will, you can let your aunt do anything."
Lin Ze made her face white with anger, he said that he was just angry when he wanted to die, and this Xu Xiaoniang cried and became a true thing.
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground and asked Xu, "Aunt Xu, this is what you said, what can you do?"
Aunt Xu's crying voice paused, and she didn't have time to think about what she meant by this.
Lin Yanxi stood up from the ground, walked to her father-in-law's side, and stretched out her palm.
Gonggong Li smiled with satisfaction, and handed the holy decree to Lin Yanxi's hand, "This concubine of Taifu's mansion is quite sensible, not bad, better than his old son."
Lin Zeqi said, "You!"
A eunuch dares to talk about Taifu, which means that he has the support of the emperor behind him.
After receiving the holy decree, Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the grace of the saint, and the courtier will accept the decree."
Gonggong Li smiled and nodded, "Get up, it's time for our family to go back to their lives."
After Gonggong Li left with the two little eunuchs, Aunt Xu immediately changed her face.
"Second girl, you were in a hurry to get out of the marriage before, and you already had someone you like, and you asked Kite to be a shield."
"Okay, these nine princes are very good, you, be content."
Lin Zeyang's hand was about to fall.
Aunt Xu's face stiffened, and she stiffened her neck and said, "Come on, come on, you fight, you can kill me."
"Anyway, the eldest lady is gone, why don't you let me follow the lady!"
She concluded in her heart that at this juncture, Lin Zegang had just lost his wife, and he would not be willing to lose her again, and would tolerate her in every possible way.
Sure enough, Lin Ze's hand paused in the air, and he put it down in frustration.
Aunt Xu's eyebrows and eyes were just dyed with a hint of pride.
"Smack—"
A slap in the face on the right side of her face.
