The winter days in Shangdu are always ice and snow, and the silver-covered city is sometimes a little cooler than Beidi, which makes people feel cold to the heart.

Different from the snowstorm outside, in the Changqiu Palace of the Imperial City, the charcoal fire was very hot and warm.

The new little palace maid didn't dare to be lazy, and stared at the charcoal basin, for fear that if she froze her master, His Majesty would blame. After a pause, she glanced up at the woman reclining by the window.

The woman's eyes drifted out of the window, as if she was looking at the snow, and as if she was looking at the boundless world outside the palace through the snow. She frowned lightly, and the tails of her eyes were sad, even if she didn't apply powder, it was difficult to hide her beauty.

No wonder the new emperor has been on the throne for three years, and there is only one queen in the harem.

Before the little palace maid could sigh, Yun Luan, the palace maid in charge of the Changqiu Palace, returned before dark, she retreated left and right, and slowly approached the woman in front of the window.

"Girl, the letter brought to you by His Royal Highness the Prince." Yun Luan lowered his voice and handed the envelope over.

Hearing that there was a letter, Lin Ningsu's empty eyes finally had a little more vitality.

Half a year ago, Lin Xiang's family was demoted to Mobei for the crime of forming a party, and Mrs. Lin died of a heart attack under fatigue, and Lin Xiang also became ill and died. Since then, Lin Ningsu has suddenly changed his temperament, unwilling to speak, nor willing to move, like a person pinched by snow, as if he can melt away at any time.

Lin Ningsu swept the content of the letter, and felt a little more comforted in her heart, but she really couldn't laugh.

"If the Western Regions are not as good as Shangdu, I don't know if Jing'an is doing well there."

"Don't worry, girl, His Royal Highness will definitely return as soon as possible."

Yun Luan looked at the suffering of his girl these days, his eyes turned red, and he also nodded.

Then, Yun Luan seemed to think of something, collected his tears, and said in a very resentful tone: "Yesterday, Your Majesty pardoned General Ruan's crimes, restored his position as General Zhuguo, and only fined Yu Lu for two years as a warning. He also pardoned the Qing girl who was imprisoned in the prison because of the former prince and allowed her to return to her family. ”

"Today is a return to our home, but tomorrow? Is it going to be included in the palace? Yun Luan recalled all the things of His Majesty today, it was really not worth it for the Lin Mansion and his own girl.

"Yunluan, don't say it again."

Lin Ningsu lowered his head, and the past began to rise and fall in his mind.

The current emperor Lin Yan, who should be called Meng Yan now, was originally her nominal brother of Lin Ningsu, and he was the widow of the former emperor who did not want to recognize it and was fostered in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although this matter is a secret, she has known it since she was a child, and she also has thoughts about this brother that she shouldn't have.

Lin Yan and Ruan Qing, the daughter of General Zhuguo, were originally in love, but she was ignorant back then, and she intervened sideways. One wrong step, one wrong step, and the wrong marriage between the two, will make Lin Yan hate her and the Lin family so much, leading to such a situation.

How could Lin Ningsu complain anymore?

Even if she gives the position of queen to Ruan Qing now, she will not hesitate.

Her affection for Lin Yan was already filled with pain and sorrow like maggots attached to the bones.

She just wanted to leave.

Lin Ningsu waved his hand, "Yunluan, you go down first, I want to be alone." She picked up the letter again, looking at the words of reassurance.

If she had listened to her mother and married Jing'an, would the ending be different.....

Just as he was out of his mind, the voice of Yunluan greeting suddenly came from outside the corridor. The heavy footsteps knocked on the ground, knocking on Lin Ningsu's heart.

A flash of panic flashed across her face, and she swept past the flickering flame of the candlestick and quickly set the corner of the letter on the flame.

The big hand with a thin callus pinched Lin Ningsu's tiny wrist, she was in pain, and the half-burned paper fell on the table, and most of the handwriting on it was retained.

The man took the letter, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he didn't mean to let go of her.

Lin Ningsu refused to raise her eyes, but she could feel Lin Yan's scorching gaze, the kind of gaze that was quenched and cold, as if she wanted to swallow her life alive.

The scent of pine and cypress and sunken wood lingered on the tip of her nose, which she used to love the most, but now it has an extra coercion, and she wants to make people escape.

After a stalemate, after all, Lin Ningsu withdrew his wrist and didn't look over.

Lin Yan didn't care about her, and sat on the soft couch with the letter. He had just descended from the court, and before the twelve crowns on his head could be removed, the subtle sound of the jade beads colliding echoed in the palace.

This reminded Lin Ningsu that Lin Yan was no longer the brother who indulged her willfulness, but the emperor who held the power of life and death.

That's right, Lin Yan hates her and the Lin family.

The connivance of the past is only patience.

"Marry me, you regret it." The man's voice is as warm and jade, light and breezy but with an inviolable majesty. His tone was firm, as if he could guess Lin Ningsu's thoughts.

"If I had agreed to Shen Jing'an's marriage proposal, why would I be what I am now." Lin Yan smiled gently, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Ningsu's expression.

The path is chosen by oneself, and no one is qualified to turn back, nor is he entitled to regret it.

Lin Ningsu clenched his palm. When he was a child, Lin Yan could always guess what he was thinking. She asked why, and the man said, "I am your brother, can I not know?"

Now, it's the same way, she really hasn't grown at all.

"How?" Lin Ningsu snorted coldly, "It's degraded, it's punished, it's just a letter, Your Majesty won't be so small-bellied." ”

Lin Yan is a person with a strong desire to control. In the past, he still carried the name of a gentleman in the capital, and was willing to wear a pure sheepskin. Now, it is even more true and cannot tolerate betrayal.

Lin Ningsu was no longer naïve, she wouldn't feel that Lin Yan's emotions at the moment were because he cared about her a little.

Because she has seen Lin Yan really love someone.

On the day Ruan Qing married the former prince, gongs and drums were noisy and joyful in unison. Lin Fuli was thoughtful, and the eldest son, who was as square as jade, lost his temper for the first time. He refused the prince's wedding invitation, locked himself in his room, and poured wine for a day.

At that time, Lin Ningsu was standing outside the door of his room, and when he finally made up his mind to push the door in, he was frightened by the eyes of the yin owl and sat in place.

Ruan Qing is really his counter-scale.

The letters burned on the candle flame and crackled.

Lin Ningsu came back to his senses and said in his heart, it's time to end all this.

She looked at Lin Yan and pondered the words: "I heard that Ruan Qing has returned to the General Zhuguo Mansion. ”

Hearing this name, Lin Yan moved.

"I know, you don't want her to be wronged, it's better to make her the queen under an edict."

Lin Yan didn't answer, and the air pressure around his body suddenly dropped.

Lin Ningsu didn't notice it, and said to himself: "I know your methods, these courtiers will not have an opinion. There is really no way, you can follow the historical precedent and go to the Buddhist temple to cultivate first....."

"Now that the Lin family is no longer in your control, I am in this position, after all, it is an eyesore."

One is that it hinders Lin Yan's eyes, and the other is that most of those courtiers are pushed by everyone, and they are looking at the women of the clan to consolidate their position.

Moreover, one day when she is in this position, the Lin family will be in more crisis.

She is sincere and earnestly plans the future for the two. It's also for myself to be able to leave this cannibalistic place earlier.

After saying this, she cautiously asked: "I am willing to do everything, can I let my father and younger siblings go." They are not in good health and can't withstand the bitter cold of Mobei. ”

Lin Yan stood up and paced in front of Lin Ningsu, her rough fingers lifting her chin.

"I don't know if you have such a bearing."

Since he had an unknown mind about Lin Yan, Lin Ningsu was ashamed to call his brother again.

But this person mentions this from time to time, reminding her that she is a person who covets her brother.

Especially between the sheets, it's even more excessive...

The tall body loomed in front of her, and a shadow fell on her. The silver velvet was lifted away and scattered on a small couch.

Lin Ningsu didn't know which sentence he had provoked this person.

Her nimble fingers disturbed her breath, and she had to hold on tightly to the person in front of her.

Countless times, Lin Ningsu could feel the palm that was bound on her neck suddenly tighten, but she let go when she was dying.

Whimpering and rubbing against his shirt overlapped, and tears slipped down his cheeks.

The sound of glamour lasted from early evening until late at night.

- -

"Why do you want to teach me how to do things?"

After that, every time Lin Ningsu mentioned this matter, he was always blocked back by this sentence.

She didn't know when the days in this cold palace would come to an end.

His father was critically ill, his brother traveled to Mobei and became a businessman, and his sister tossed and turned among nobles in order to make a living, and she was miserable.

The pearl sinks into the jade, and the orchid is destroyed.

Lin Ningsu is emaciating day by day, describing withering.

Even if her sweetheart can't enter the palace as soon as possible to accompany her, she is unwilling to agree to her request, nor is she willing to let go of the Lin family.

Lin Yan, Lin Yan, how much you hate.

He didn't kill her, because he wanted her to see her family fall with her own eyes, and to see the Lin family that controlled him in the past become a grave

I'm afraid that only if she dies, the hundreds of members of the Lin family will have a way to live.

The poisoned liquor was drunk, and the burning pain spread from the abdomen to the whole body.

There was a blur in front of her, and she vaguely recognized that the person was Lin Yan.

"Brother...."

It would be nice if it was just an older brother.

It was she who chose the wrong one.
