The man who knelt on the ground motionless replied obediently: "Sin slave Lin Bujing to meet the princess." ”

Xiao Yuehuai lowered her eyes and looked at the little eunuch beside her, let go of her hand and gently pushed forward, and whispered, "I know, you have been worried about Mu Yao's safety. Therefore, I called you to come to Haoyue Palace to meet him today. You don't have to continue to be polite, I don't blame you. ”

Lin Bujing was a little surprised, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Yuehuai staring at him intently.

Beside her was the thin little eunuch.

Lin Bujing resisted the impulse, suppressed the pain and helplessness in his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth and said unusually calmly: "The villain doesn't know the meaning of the princess's words, this child is just a stranger to the villain, why worry about it?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai hooked her lips and said lightly: "If it really has nothing to do with you, then I won't bother to deal with Han Qi." You can rest assured... He is full of evil, and there will be retribution. No one in the palace will insult your two brothers again. ”

She accentuated the word "brother" and kept an eye on the man's expression.

Hearing this, Lin Bujing's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't expect the girl in front of him to tell the secret he had buried in his heart for many years. The killing intent was fleeting in his eyes, and he carefully suppressed his eyebrows, his hands quietly clenched into fists. He didn't understand, how could such a secret thing be discovered by Xiao Yuehuai?

Xiao Yuehuai swept his face with his afterglow, turned around in his gaze with a sudden rise in murderous intent, and silently retreated: "You don't have to worry, I have no malicious intentions." This is a secret that only you know, and I promise you that no one else will ever know about it, and I will help you keep it hidden. But I don't do meaningless things, as long as you can promise me one thing, I will do my best to protect him from being oppressed again. With me in Haoyue Palace for a day, he will definitely be able to grow up healthily. ”

Lin Bujing was silent for a moment, the surprise in his eyes gradually dissipated a little, and he asked tentatively: "The villain is just a lowly slave in the Jing Court, and it is also the princess who is lucky to come to this Haoyue Palace today." I don't know the villain's humble body... What caught the princess's attention? ”

"No matter how humble you are, you were once a descendant of the famous Lin family of Gusu. That's what I value about my identity. Xiao Yuehuai's hand gently twisted a carved green jade luan bird riding the snow frost plum fan, the red gold tassel hung at the end of the handle, gently swaying along the breeze, swaying in front of the girl's graceful figure, quiet and noble.

The girl's words made Lin Bujing's face more and more gray, and thinking of his life experience, he couldn't help but sneer: "Gusu Lin's ... It's no longer the heyday it was today. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason has wiped out the villain's entire clan, and the princess is really not sarcastic when she mentions the villain's clan at this moment? ”

The Gusulin clan was once a prosperous Jiangmen clan. Six years ago, the Great Zhou and the Great Chongqing fought from the north water, and the two armies suffered heavy casualties, and each of them guarded the Canghe River and did not move. At this critical juncture, traitors appeared in the fierce wolf army under the Lin clan, resulting in a crushing defeat in this battle.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to find out the traitor and condemn him. But for some reason, there were rumors in the capital that the Lin clan collaborated with the enemy. The three of them became tigers and accumulated and destroyed their bones. When the news came out, the direction of the investigation gradually deviated, and then someone submitted evidence to confirm it, and Lin Song, the commander of the Fierce Wolf Army, was convicted of colluding with Dayu and wiped out his family.

The adult men of the Lin family were all beheaded, their wives and daughters were not included in the orchestra, and the underage sons and daughters were all punished as criminal slaves in the Jing Court, and Lin Song's eldest son, Lin Bujing, was reduced from a noble child to a lowly criminal slave that everyone could trample on.

Now that Xiao Yuehuai brings up the old things, Lin Bujing only feels ridiculous, the lintel of the Lin family no longer exists, leaving only the soul of the dead and the countless grievances.

Who knew that the girl said: "Did the Gusu Lin clan collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, is there no conclusion in Lin Lang's heart?" Your father Lin Song has been through a hundred battles, and was born and died for the Great Zhou, if it wasn't for the traitors, how could he have fallen to this point? ”

Xiao Yuehuai's words gave Lin Bujing, who was already full of hatred, goosebumps.

There was a glimmer of hope in his dark eyes, but he was soon overwhelmed by those cruel memories and turned into anger: "The princess said this... Don't you feel sorry? It was your father who condemned my Lin family to death! Even if the villain believes in the innocence of his father and the Wolf Army, what can he do? The emperor who is high up in the sky, only with a few words from others.... and disposed of my father. Did he think about it? How wronged was my father before he died? ”

His eyes were red, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Xiao Yuehuai was calm and composed, and was not frightened by his fierce eyes.

She held the handle of the fan tightly, stood straight in front of the man, and said categorically: "I know that the grievances of the Lin family will not be repaid by our Xiao family in this life. Six years ago, I was too young to say anything about the court, so I couldn't help the Lin family. Although many years have passed, I still feel ashamed in my heart, so I have come to seek you today for this old matter. ”

Lin Bujing was incredulous: "Does the princess know what she is talking about?" ”

In addition to shock, most of the man's eyes were a kind of disgust after being insulted. He felt that she was laughing at him when she said this now, and that she was hypocritical, uncovering the heartache of others by any means to achieve her goals.

Xiao Yuehuai looked at Lin Bujing's current appearance, and recalled the memories of her previous life in her mind.

This person hates the descendants of the Xiao family and can't eat his flesh and blood, which shows how much pain there is in his heart. And all of this is all the injustice created by Lu Pingsheng. She knew clearly in her heart who Lin Bujing should hate, but now she had no way to say it, and she didn't even know if she could calm the resentment in his heart and negotiate peacefully with him.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yuehuai gritted her teeth and made up her mind-

She closed her eyes, put the fan into her wide sleeves, then smoothed her arms, gradually clasped her hands into a salute, and knelt down solemnly in the direction where Lin Bujing was.

"I know that a thousand words will not take away the hatred in your heart. Therefore, I invite you to come here to ask you to help me, I want to take the power of this capital, occupy a place in the government and the opposition, find out the truth of the battle of Beishui, wash away the grievances for your father and even the whole Lin family, and rebuild the Lin temple. ”

Her sudden kneeling had already made Lin Bujing dumbfounded, and the words that followed made him even more confused for a while, only to feel a buzzing in his ears, making him dizzy.

Xiao Yuehuai didn't know what she would get in exchange for being so honest, but she believed that even if Lin Bujing hated Xiao in her previous life, he still saved her from danger many times, which proved that he had a kind and gentle heart that knew right from wrong.
