The sound of firecrackers is one year old.

Lin Yi slept until noon as always, but she didn't sleep so well these days.

After her birthday, Shui Han was too busy to see anyone, and she only knew that she would definitely come over in the middle of the night.

But what happens at the end of the year and the beginning of the year?

There seemed to be a faint sound of firecrackers in Lin Yi's ears.

She rolled off the bed with a bone, and she couldn't wait to push open the window in her shirt.

There was a burst of firecrackers!

Lin Yi bent the corners of her mouth happily, but unfortunately she was immediately chilled by a biting cold wind.

"Ahh

She rubbed her nose, obediently put on her coat, and looked at the snow.

Fortunately, the snow finally stopped, but unfortunately today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the water cold can't come back earlier.

I have come to ancient times twice, and I have never seen spring and summer, and they are all cold memories.

Although the snow is beautiful, it is too cold to go out without wrapping yourself in zongzi.

Lin Yi sighed, feeling a little bored in his heart, after all, today is the reunion day, and he always feels a little regretful that he can't be with Shui Han.

However, she knew that after Qin Shuihan got up early to practice, he went back to bed and hugged herself for a while before rushing to the palace, and she didn't forget to smack a few times on her face before leaving.

She patted her cheek and smiled sweetly.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, what kind of New Year's gift should I prepare for Shui Han?

Lin Yi thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to prepare.

He lacks nothing.

However, Lin Yi has not made any income at present, and there was Ye Ziming's hot pot dividend last year, but there is nothing this year.

Lin Yi pouted, feeling a little unwilling.

She sat at her desk, her head bracing her head and thinking about her plans for next year.

But after thinking about it, except for solving the glass problem first, everything else seems to be unknown.

Squeak –

Biyue and Leng Fang walked in with food boxes.

Lin Yi was a little surprised, but she didn't expect it to be them, and generally Caiyun and Lily of the Valley are served by Caiyun and Lily of the Valley for trivial things like cloth vegetables.

"Why are you, Caiyun and Lily of the Valley?"

"The two of them took leave from the housekeeper early and went back to reunite with their families."

Biyue took out the food.

Lin Yi took a sip of tea and prepared a dry meal.

"Leng Fang, aren't you reuniting with your family today?"

Leng Fang was slightly stunned, she was a personal guard, and when the master was not there, she could not leave the princess for half a step, how could there be a holiday.

"Princess Qiyu, the slave maid is ordered to protect the princess, and there must be no mistakes."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart, he really wronged these guards.

She heard that Shihua had a daughter, and she wanted to visit, although she couldn't tell her her true identity, but even in the name of Yimu, I believe that she could become good friends with her.

But it's not easy to go out by herself, she doesn't want to be so excited, so let's hide in this Jinghan Pavilion.

"Leng Fang, you don't have to worry too much, it won't be okay to have Biyue by your side."

Leng Fang glanced at Biyue, how could she be virtuous, why was the princess a little biased towards herself?

But before she could think about it, Lin Yi stuffed a meatball and teased: "When the prince comes back, Biyue and the Xuan guards will go to the moon before the flower." ”

"Princess!"

Bi Yue's face turned red, she didn't understand why the new princess would see her relationship with Xuan Feng, could it be that the master and the princess said it?

But she immediately denied this idea, and it was absolutely impossible for the master to gossip!

And the master and Xuan Feng have been very busy these days.

Seeing that the two of them looked stupid and cute, Lin Yi smiled again: "Leng Fang, in this capital, do you have any relatives and friends?" I won't leave the house today, so I'll give you a day off and have a good rest. ”

Leng Fang didn't expect Lin Yi to be so keen and considerate, and she even saw the relationship between Sister Bi and Brother Xuan.

But when I think of my brother, I really want to see him.

"The slave has a younger brother, I don't know if I can see him today."

Lin Yi is a little strange, since he is a family member, don't you know where he is?

"Brother Ling can be in this capital?"

Leng Fang smiled slightly.

"My brother is working in the Wind Shadow Pavilion, and he was busy with affairs a while ago, so I don't know if he was busy."

Lin Yi kowtowed his head, it turned out that both of their sisters and brothers were working for Shui Han.

"Then you can send a letter to let Brother Ling come to the house when he is free. Shui Han said that there will be fireworks in the house tonight. ”

Leng Fang shook her head.

"My brother's legs and feet are inconvenient, thank you for the kindness of the princess."

Leg inconvenience?

Lin Yi put away her smile and asked worriedly, "Is Brother Ling's injury important?" I know how to heal, do I need to see it? ”

Leng Fang hooked the corners of her mouth and showed a faint smile, the princess is really a kind-hearted person, but unfortunately her younger brother is not injured but disabled.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. My brother's hamstring was broken since he was a child, and he was disabled. ”

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Leng Fang didn't hide it from her, and continued: "The slave maid's family was tragically wiped out when she was a child, and only she and her younger brother were rescued by King Han, but unfortunately my younger brother was unfortunately picked off by the wicked and broke his hamstrings. ”

Lin Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he didn't expect such a tragic encounter!

She couldn't help but glance at Biyue, and both saw the distress in each other's eyes.

At this time, Biyue remembered what Xuan Feng had told her.

After losing the competition with Leng Fang that time, she found Xuan Feng to inquire about Leng Fang's origin.

And Xuan Feng just smiled faintly and told her that Leng Fang was originally not a guard but a killer.

At first, she didn't believe it, but now she finally understands why Leng Fang is ruthless, and she is directly attacking the other party's vital points.

She is used to killing and is not afraid to kill.

From this point of view, it is indeed more suitable to protect the master than himself.

If Leng Fang was by Lin Yi's side at that time, Chu Xinyi would definitely not have the slightest chance to get close to Lin Yi!

Thinking of this, Biyue's expression darkened again.

She looked at the princess in front of her, although the new princess is also a good person, but in her heart, she can never replace the former Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't notice Biyue's expression, but said to Leng Fang guiltily: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked more..."

Leng Fang smiled, she had already been relieved, and it was God's greatest gift for her brother to be by her side.

All three fell silent.

Finally, Lin Yi seemed to have a very fierce ideological struggle, she snorted, put down her chopsticks, bit her lip and said, "Leng Fang, can you bring Brother Ling to the mansion?" I want to see the extent of his injury and I don't know if I can pick up his hamstring for him. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like five thunderbolts hitting the top, falling on the ears of Biyue and Leng Fang.

They looked at Lin Yi incredulously.

I've never heard of someone who can pick up a broken hamstring, isn't this a fool's dream?

Lin Yi knew that they didn't believe it, pursed her lips, and continued: "I'm a doctor, I don't talk big, I don't give you hope, I can only give you a final answer after seeing the patient's state." But please believe me, if I can connect the broken hamstring, I will definitely get Brother Ling back on his feet. ”

Seeing that Lin Yi said so sincerely, Leng Fang's heart couldn't help but be moved.

She decided to bring her brother to the house immediately, even if there was only the slightest chance, she must give it a try.

She wished so much that her brother could stand up like a normal person!

"The slave..."

Lin Yi nodded like pounding garlic.

"Yes. Go ahead. But don't tell Brother Ling these words first, I don't want to disappoint him, and I have to read it in the end to give you a conclusion. ”

Palace.

Outside the imperial study, Qin Shuihan was summoned to see him.

Seeing Qin Zhiruo walking out with his head drooping, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a few days.

"Second brother."

Qin Zhiruo barely squeezed out a smile.

He was severely reprimanded by his father, saying that he was not as good as his sister Eleven.

Since he received the news from his mother last night and learned that his father was going to marry Eleven to Tanglin, he was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night.

I didn't expect to see my sister early in the morning, only to see my sister calmly telling herself that she accepted her father's arrangement.

She is only fifteen, and she has just reached the end of her life, how can her father ruthlessly marry her to Tangling?

Qin Zhiruo's pitiful appearance was like a wounded animal.

"Fifth brother... Summoned by my father, go in quickly..."

Looking at his virtue, Qin Shuihan also knew that most of them were scolded by his father.

He also learned from Qin Yi that his father was going to marry Eleven to Tanglin, and he also heard that Eleven did not cry or make trouble, but asked to marry Qi Jue, the son of Tanglin, instead of Prince Qi Renji.

I didn't expect to be eleven years old, but I was very accurate in seeing people.

"Second brother don't have to think about it, the eleventh sister is very smart and knows her choice."

Qin Shuihan didn't say much, and he stopped there.

He straightened his clothes again, then turned around and walked to the imperial study.

"The son of the emperor greets his father."

Qin Shuihan stood in front of Emperor Qin Ming with a cold face.

He swept across Emperor Qin Ming's face.

His face was slightly red, his cheeks were full, and he did look radiant.

Qin Shuihan sneered in his heart, singing every night, I want to see how long my father's appearance can last!

Emperor Qin Ming sat leisurely on the jade chair, listening to his cold tone, knowing that he was still angry with himself.

"I won't agree to you marrying Imu."

Qin Shuihan clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, his father's first sentence gave him a slap in the face.

"Want to know why?"

Qin Shui stared at him coldly.

After a long time, he moved his lips and replied reluctantly: "The son is ignorant and doesn't know his father's intentions. ”

Emperor Qin Ming pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Dare to love this is to promote a long talk?

Qin Shuihan frowned, walked to the edge of the chair and sat down.

The face-to-face communication between father and son was still a child, and now that the two are sitting face to face again, he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"Do you know who I wanted to make the crown prince first?"

Emperor Qin Ming stared at him coldly with a pair of eagle eyes.

Without waiting for Qin Shuihan to answer, he continued: "It's not Zhe'er, it's you." In terms of talent and learning, he is not as good as you, in terms of ability, he is not half as good as you, and in terms of governing the country, he is even more ignorant. ”

Emperor Qin Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "But he is more ruthless than you!" He will do whatever it takes to get in his way. As soon as Lou Li fell, he abolished Lou Caiyi. He knows that you are stronger than him and will do whatever it takes to kill you. I destroyed him because he had an affair with a foreign enemy, not because he wanted to kill you. He knew that your weakness was Lin Weifu's concubine, so he teamed up with Chu Xinyi to kill your concubine. Look at how ruthless he is, that's what a king should be! ”

These words were like boulders, pressing on Qin Shuihan like a mountain and a sea.

It turns out that my father knows everything!

"I don't have a problem with Imu, but seeing you like her so much reminds me of when the maid just died. At that time, you were like a walking corpse, and your eyes were godless and decadent, which made me extremely disappointed! It's just a woman, how do you sit on the throne like this? ”

Qin Shuihan closed his lips tightly, he didn't expect that his father was dissatisfied with Yiyi because of himself!

Emperor Qin Ming raised his head slightly, his eyes were proud and invincible.

Sure enough, none of these heirs passed on their mantle.

"Do you know why I am willing to marry Eleven to Tanglin?"

Qin Shuihan stared at him stunned, he could still see through this matter.

"Vala is restless, and my father wants to exchange it for a long peace with Tanglin."

This answer was unexpected by Emperor Qin Ming.

If you can't see through it, Han'er can.

As the fifth emperor of Great Qin, he reigned for 17 years, and he was also considered to be a smooth breeze and rain for the people of the country.

But he was unwilling to be a Taiping Emperor, and he wanted to win Walla in his lifetime.

"In this regard, you are better than Ruo'er."

"The second brother is just confused."

Both fell silent suddenly.

In the past few days, Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi have privately investigated the people of Walla who have appeared in the capital, although there have always been Walla people who have been trading with each other, but this year is definitely more than in previous years.

Emperor Qin Ming heard that the soldiers in northern Xinjiang had suffered numerous casualties, and the imperial court received a quick report the day before yesterday, which was a long list of those killed in battle.

Because it was the end of the year, he didn't make a big deal about it, anyway, the first thing to do in the coming year was to pacify the soldiers.

The treasury is going to tighten again.

Emperor Qin Ming sighed.

"Han'er, what will happen to you if I kill Imu? Will you kill me like you killed Zhe'er? ”

Qin Shuihan didn't say anything, he did it seamlessly, how could his father conclude that he killed Qin Zhe?

He immediately got up from his chair and fell to his knees.

"Erchen will never do such a rebellious thing!"

Emperor Qin Ming closed his eyes.

"I'm just tempting you, believing that Zhe'er wasn't killed by you."

Qin Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't expect that he would also use this kind of cleverness one day.

It's true that I won't kill my father, but that doesn't mean I won't kill my brother!

"Father is wise!"

"Get up."

The two looked at each other, and instantly returned to the topic just now.

"Han'er, Yimu is not for you."

Qin Shuihan didn't get up, lowered his head and pleaded: "Erchen begs my father to let Yimu go!" ”

"I can let her go, but in that case, the crown prince will no longer be yours!"

"Erchen doesn't want the position of prince."

"Presumptuous!"

Emperor Qin Ming snorted, his voice deafening.

Jing Lan outside the imperial study hurriedly ran in, not knowing what had happened.

The dragon guards who were waiting outside also put their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to attack.

"Get out!"

Jing Lan was drunk by Emperor Qin Ming, he glanced at Qin Shuihan who was kneeling on the ground, and retreated in a huff.

"I'll give you three days, think it clearly and then get back to me! Retire. ”

Qin Shuihan knelt on the ground motionless.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Father, the son has made up his mind, and he will not give up Yimu if he says anything." ”

Ignoring Emperor Qin Ming's hideous expression, he continued: "Erchen will not abandon his official duties because of a woman, on the contrary, because Yimu is by his side, Erchen will be more motivated to face everything. It is said that family and everything is prosperous, and she gave her son an unprecedented sense of stability, so she was not afraid of any hardships. ”

After speaking, Qin Shuihan got up and retreated.

It's just that when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Father, have you ever loved your mother?" ”

The eyes are facing each other.

Emperor Qin Ming's expression was complicated, and he had lost the anger just now.

What can a woman make such a big impact?

Home and everything is going to be prosperous?!

Isn't it a joke in the Emperor's House?

He looked at Qin Shuihan indifferently.

Yin Yunfei, Han'er's mother, did she really love her?

He remembered her gentle eyebrows, and at that time he also hoped to be with her for the rest of his life, but later Cao Luoxia appeared, and then Mu Sisi appeared.

Every woman, he thought about it for a long time, but every woman became a thing of the past.

Qin Shuihan got the answer from his eyes and walked out without looking back.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Jing Lan was standing around the corner waiting for him.

Jinglan took out a medical bag from her arms and handed it over.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, Miss Imu left her medical bag. The He family felt familiar, and it seemed to be the same as the bag of the former princess. I don't know if it's a mistake. ”

Qin Shuihan took the medical bag and hid it in his arms.

"Thank you, Eunuch Jinglan. Yimu's medical skills are excellent, and she does not lose to Lin Yi, and she will use the utensils in the bag, so this king will give it to her. ”

Jing Lan slightly turned the dust whisk in his hand, feeling a little incredible, but he didn't dwell on the matter, but conveyed a message.

"Your Highness King Han, today the Holy Lord has only summoned you and His Royal Highness King Ruo."

With that, he turned and left.

Qin Shuihan was slightly stunned, it seemed that his father was choosing the next prince among himself and his second brother, and Jing Lan's attitude just now also showed that he would stand on his side.

He was a little unconvinced.

Objectively speaking, my father is not mediocre, but his private life has been chaotic recently.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the warm pavilion in front of him.

Xuan Feng, who was waiting in the warm pavilion, immediately stepped forward and put on his coat.

The snow scene in front of him was magnificent and magnificent, but Qin Shuihan felt a different kind of gloom and desolation.
