Chapter 113: Don't be afraid, I'm at your side
The threat between the emperor's words was already obvious.
Shen Muzhou's fists clenched tightly, and after a moment, he said, "Erchen takes the order."
---
The time of the two days came quickly, and everyone in the whole house looked nervous except for Lin Yanxi.
Lin Ze came to visit Lin Yanxi in the palace almost every day.
"Zhaozhao, Dad has prepared a carriage for you, you go to Zhuangzi to hide first."
"Zhaozhao, my father found you an archmage, saying that he could pray for rain and ask for a child, and it was very effective, so let her go to the shrine platform on your behalf."
These ideas were rejected by Lin Yanxi one by one, and seeing that today was about to go to the shrine platform, Lin Ze came to the courtyard of the Moon Falling Pavilion early in the morning and paced back and forth.
After seeing Lin Yanxi, he burst into tears, and said softly and hardly: "Zhaozhao, my father's favorite thing is you, I can't watch you die, you don't care about the Taifu Mansion, you and Yan'er leave here together."
"Dad will bear any consequences."
Lin Yanxi was a little helpless, she had repeatedly promised that she would be safe and sound today, but Lin Ze was still not at ease.
After all, Nanmin has been dry for a year, and all the methods of praying for rain have been tossed again, and I haven't seen God reward a drop of rain.
Not to mention that she is a little girl.
Shen Muzhou walked in from outside the courtyard, and Lin Ze was angry when he saw him, so he simply turned around and didn't even say hello.
However, Shen Muzhou saw Lin Zehou and said respectfully, "Master Taifu."
"Actually, Master Taifu doesn't have to worry, since Yan Xi is sure, you might as well let her give it a try."
Lin Ze directly replied, "Why don't you give it a try? The attempt failed, but it wasn't your daughter who was going to turn around, so of course you said it lightly."
"Daddy......" Lin Yanxi pulled Lin Ze's sleeve.
Lin Ze stopped talking, still looking at him angrily.
He looked around and whispered, "Lord Taifu, don't worry, the king has already installed the people of the Dark Night Division near Fengshentai, if something really happens, the Dark Night Division will swear to escort Lin Yanxi out of the capital safely."
Lin Ze reluctantly nodded and said, "Well, the people from my Taifu Mansion will take you at that time."
Lin Yanxi saw that the relationship between the two was also somewhat relaxed, and the corners of his mouth smiled secretly.
She followed the chestnut back to the room, and in the chestnut tray was a gilded wide-sleeved fairy dress, the background color was a darker smoke pink, and wearing it on her body made her skin more white and tender than snow.
"Miss, this is specially sent by the prince."
Lin Yanxi's fingertips brushed the long skirt and smiled, "His vision has always been good."
"I've seen the prince, I've seen the Taifu, our family is here to pick up people." Gonggong Li shook off the dust and waited outside the Moonset Pavilion.
Without waiting for a while, the door was pushed open, and Lin Yanxi walked out of it.
Her porcelain white face was slightly powdered, a little red lips were particularly moving, and there was a flower between her eyebrows, she walked up to Shen Muzhou, stretched her arms slightly, turned around and asked, "Is it good-looking?"
He was a little distracted by her laughter, "Beautiful."
She tilted her head and asked, "Pretty enough?"
He blushed a little, she was so beautiful that people didn't even dare to look at her, he staggered his gaze and nodded, "Well, it's beautiful."
Under the plane tree, the girl smiled like a beam of light in the darkness into his heart.
Gonggong Li greeted him and praised: "Our family has been in the palace for many years, what kind of beauty has not been seen, but today the second lady of the Lin family knows what is incomparably beautiful."
Lin Yanxi lowered his head a little shyly, "Gonggong Li praised it falsely."
"Isn't the time come, let's go."
Gonggong Li nodded, with a hint of regret in his eyes, such a beautiful and clever person, alas......
"Come with us, the carriage in the palace is waiting outside."
The group walked through the palace and came to the gate of the mansion, Shen Muzhou whispered when he crossed the crowd and helped her into the carriage, "Don't be afraid, I
It's on your side."
Lin Yanxi always felt that his peach blossom eyes seemed to have a kind of mana, which made people fall into it at a glance and indulge in it.
The carriage moved forward slowly, on the side of the carriage was Shen Muzhou riding on a tall horse, and the streets were full of people and homeless people, after seeing their sedan chairs, they knelt down and saluted and peeked into the sedan chairs.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the woman in the carriage sedan chair is shocked, and she is really like the fairy who descended to earth.
There are several seats on both sides of the shrine, the middle of which is the position of His Majesty and the Empress, and on both sides are the ministers who hold great power in the court and the royal family.
Shen Yu reclined on the seat and yawned, Luo Wanwan sat beside him, she held a handkerchief in her hand and stirred it at her fingertips, and her little face was very nervous.
She whispered, "If, if she can't pray for rain, Yan Xi won't be able to do anything, right?"
Shen Yu's gaze fell on Luo Jingxin, who was in the row in front of him, and he could see that he was not taking into account the uneasy mood of the evening at all.
perfunctorily replied, "With Xiao Jiu here, what can I do?"
Luo Wanwan saw that he was very impatient to answer, and didn't continue to bother him, but this posture on the altar of the gods, even the emperor and queen came, it didn't seem like a good ending.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she kept looking out in worry.
Luo Jingxin sat in the front row, her hair full of pearls fell on her bun but she did not look jeweled, she had a dignified and outstanding temperament, and she showed gentleness and elegance with a smile.
"Sister Jingxin, do you think this Yan Xi can really pray for rain?" Shen Huayun sat beside her and asked.
Luo Jingxin's smile was slightly stiff, and his eyes flashed with cruelty, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Who knows, Sister Yan Xi's ability has always been very great."
Shen Huayun sneered disdainfully, "Hey, I think she has a lot of skills to seduce men, and she really thinks she is a living immortal, praying for rain?"
Luo Jingxin smiled with satisfaction, this Shen Huayun is a brainless person, as long as you give me some words, he will throw everything out.
During the conversation, Luo Qiyu stepped forward and saluted, "Meet Your Majesty, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an."
Because he was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Shen Huayun, Shen Huayun lost his temper and did not allow the carriage in the palace to pick him up, so he was delayed on the road for some time and was late.
After the greeting ceremony, he sat in a position two or three seats away from Shen Huayun.
Shen Huayun's always arrogant little face, after seeing Luo Qiyun, lost his momentum and wilted.
The people on the side were discussing the matter of praying for rain today.
"I heard that Lin Yanxi can pray for rain, is it true?"
"Hey, it's just a little girl who can't help herself, I heard that the queen taught me a lesson, and I was not convinced to toss such a play."
"Can the rain in the sky listen to her? I think it's a vulgar and ignorant woman in the house, and she doesn't even know how to write the word "death!"
Luo Qiyu sat on the side and fanned the folding fan slightly, his temperament was the most outstanding among the people around, and he said leisurely, "I see that she has such a ability."
"You are not the coarse women who have lived in the inner house for a long time, but how can you love her behind her back more than the long-tongued woman?"
Those few people listened to Luo Qizhen's words, and were about to fight back, but one of them grabbed him and shook his head and said, "This is Dongyang Proton."
Dongyang has been in the limelight in Nanmin these days, and His Majesty has rewarded this proton with many favors to show his importance to Dongyang, they are just some side branches of the royal family, and they can't provoke this proton.
Several people were stunned, shut up, and the seats fell silent.
Shen Huayun looked at this scene, viciously put down a porcelain cup, and made a muffled "bang" sound.
She knows Luo Qiyu the best, he has always been cautious, but he has been involved with Lin Yanxi several times, helped her solve the disaster relief fund, and spoke for her today.
I dare to say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other!
"Second Miss Lin Family, Lin Yanxi arrives—"
Gonggong Li reported in front that Shen Muzhou stopped riding on the horse, turned over and dismounted, and personally helped Lin Yanxi get off the carriage.
The shrine was surrounded by dense people, and when they saw the carriage in the palace coming, they all made way for it.
Lin Yanxi slowly walked to the top of the platform, everyone was attracted by her appearance, when she showed her face on weekdays, she felt more that she was a delicate and smart little girl.
Today she is wearing a gilt dress, the sun shines on her, after adding some fat powder to her face, the porcelain white skin has a more pink complexion, the delicate lips are ruddy, and the apricot eyes are seductive.
There is really a charming look that pours over all beings with a slight smile, but the temperament is very unworldly, more like a fairy in the sky descending to earth, you can only watch it from a distance, even Xiao thinks about it is defiling the gods.
She followed Shen Muzhou's side, and after the two walked to Fengshentai to salute the emperor and queen, they began to pray for rain.
Today's dress is quite cumbersome, and the long trail at the back falls to the ground, which looks a little clumsy.
Shen Muzhou deliberately slowed down his steps, walked behind her, and helped her gently lift the tail of her skirt.
Gonggong Li watched from the side and said, "When the time comes, pray for rain—"
During the drought for nearly a year, several masters who claimed to be immortals were invited to pray for rain on the altar, and these people jumped and jumped around the platform, and even sacrificed the blood of newborn children.
But none of them succeeded, and the so-called "masters" were also executed on the spot.
In this way, no one dares to come to this altar to pray for rain, and today Lin Yanxi came, or took the initiative to ask for advice.
"The courtiers begin."
She saluted, her face still smiling, the little hands in her sleeves couldn't help but shrink together, and she looked at the people gathered under the stands, and the people sitting on both sides.
Lin Ze and Luo Wanwan both looked at her worriedly, their brows locked, only Shen Muzhou stood behind her, nodding firmly at her.
Lin Yanxi pretended to be and sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground, with a statue of Guanyin in front of her, as well as three incense sticks.
She deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Guanyin Bodhisattva is above, the daughter of the Nanmin Lin family, Lin Yanxi has come to ask for rain."
Everyone present watched Lin Yanxi's movements silently.
But I waited for a long time and didn't see any rain.
Shen Qingyun sat closest to Emperor Nanmin, and he smiled mockingly, "Jumping Beam Clown."
scolded in his heart and looked for death.
The Nanmin drought affected the hearts of the people, and it was also the top priority that needed to be solved the most, at this cusp and the people's hearts were unstable, he used this matter to involve Lin Yanxi's life, and made it clear that he wanted to put her to death.
He sat there calmly, looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky, even though it had entered autumn, it was still scorching as if the sun was scorching, and there were no dark clouds at all.
Just wait and see how Lin Yanxi dies.
After waiting for a while, the sky still didn't change at all, and the surrounding people began to talk about it.
"It's not gloomy at all, and it doesn't look like it's raining for half a minute."
"I don't think it's as credible as the magic stick to jump up and down twice."
"That's it, this Lin Yanxi really thinks she is omnipotent, now it's up to her how she ends."
The surrounding discussions became louder and louder, and Luo Wanwan and the people of the Lin family sat in the seats, and they all sweated for Lin Yanxi.
