Chapter 246 Unveiling
Author: Watermelon Peach Oolong Tea
Lin Xixue was half leaning against the fence of the pavilion, her eyes slightly closed, and she said indifferently: "I just killed the Governor of Yunchui Guard."
Yanyou shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think, Miss Lin. Governor Shi has served the Holy Lord for many years. He is loyal and highly valued. I'm afraid that the Holy Lord will inevitably ask for help if he learns about this matter."
Yan was furious."
"Oh? Didn't Young Master Yan tell me to be careful before, saying that he is a villain? Why would such a villain be respected by the Holy One?" Lin Xixue deliberately pointed out the errors and omissions in Yanyou's words, wanting to see what his reaction was.
.
But after all, Yanyou was quite deep in the city, so when he heard such a question, he didn't make any other reaction, he just smiled.
"Haha, Miss Lin doesn't care about the government or the public. She doesn't know anything. The so-called emperor's art is about checks and balances. Although she is a villain, as long as she is loyal to the imperial power, she may not be able to use it."
He opened two teacups, filled two cups of clear tea and said, "Young lady, do you know what it means to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"
"I know it, but I heard Young Master Yan's words and it seems that he had other intentions?" Lin Xixue responded while using her spiritual consciousness to lock onto the Confucian disciple who had delivered the news to Yan You.
"Being loyal to the king means being loyal to the Holy One, and being patriotic means loving the people of the world. When I say this, does the girl understand?"
Lin Xixue was suddenly in a trance. Thinking of the dog emperor's behavior of letting everyone know his talent and respecting only his loyalty, he instantly understood the meaning of Yanyou's words.
The so-called patriotic and virtuous ministers, if the emperor and the old man are devoted to the country, and both sides have the same position, they will work together; but if the emperor and the old man do not care about the life and death of the people, then the patriotic and virtuous ministers are not on the opposite side of the emperor and the old man.
Lin Xixue asked herself, even though she and the banquet were in a never-ending situation at the moment, these words really spoke to her heart.
"Young Master Yan's implication is already clear to me, but I don't know why he brought up this argument of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."
Yanyou narrowed his eyes and said with half a smile: "I want to ask, is Miss Lin a patriotic person or a loyal person to the emperor?"
Lin Xixue's thoughts couldn't help but stagnate when she heard such a question. She just felt that the question of banquets and travels could never be unreasonable.
What exactly was he trying to say? Could it be that he was complicit in the rebellion of King Cheng for the sake of the people of the world?
However, it was impossible for Lin Xixue to believe his nonsense. There was an inextricable and inexplicable relationship between Yanyou and Empress Zhusheng.
Lin Xixue would never believe it under any circumstances if someone said that people who converted to this kind of monster would do it for the people of the world.
She still firmly believed in her judgment that Yanyou and King Cheng conspired to rebel, definitely to gain the will of the people of Yunzhou.
However, why did Yanyou suddenly tell him these things? Is it possible that he is still thinking about winning over him now?
"Master Yan is joking, I am not from Yunzhou. Even if I am loyal to the emperor, I am not loyal to the emperor of Yunzhou. Even if I am patriotic, my love is not to the people of Yunzhou."
"Hahahaha," Yanyou smiled casually, "I just asked casually, but Miss Lin's answer was too serious."
"However, Miss Lin's killing of the court official is indeed a big deal. Did anyone else see the girl when she did it?"
"Several guards came forward to protect me, but I also killed them. Now this matter is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it."
"That's good. In this way, even if the Holy One pursues his investigation." Before Yan You could finish his words, a Confucian disciple hurriedly ran up to him and presented him with an imperial edict framed in white silk.
Lin Xixue glanced at the white silk and guessed that it should be the imperial edict sent by Emperor Dog and Shi Xueqian after they had arranged everything. She quietly continued to follow the disciple who delivered the news for the banquet with her spiritual consciousness.
Yanyou drove away the disciples who had brought the message, then unfolded the silk, read it carefully, and said: "The Holy One already knew the news of Governor Shi's death. Now that the whereabouts of the Yun Chuihu Talisman are unknown, the Holy One urgently ordered the ministers to enter the palace.
"
"Miss Lin, with this Yunchui Tiger Talisman, you can command the entire Yunchui Guard army, and you can't hide it secretly!" Yanyou's tone became serious.
Lin Xixue shook her head and said: "I don't know about the hanging tiger talisman, and I have never been involved in it. It's just that Shi Xueqian offended me many times, and I took care of him."
"Does Miss Lin really mean what she said?"
"I have said before that I am not from Yunzhou, so it is naturally impossible for me to know all the inside stories of Yun Chuiwei, let alone the Yun Chui Tiger Talisman." Lin Xixue spoke with a calm demeanor, without any hint of nervousness.
Yanyou tapped the stone table in the pavilion with his index finger, as if he was thinking carefully about the authenticity of Lin Xixue's words. After a moment, he said: "Forget it, Miss Lin should follow me into the palace to meet the saint."
Lin Xixue couldn't help but feel happy, thinking to herself, aren't you asking me to escort you to the palace during your banquet?
However, in order to be more realistic, she still declined: "Mr. Yan, I have said before that I came to Jingyun City to find someone. I really don't want to have anything to do with the current emperor of Yunzhou, so I'd better give up on the matter of meeting the emperor.
.”
"Miss Lin, the matter of the Yun Chui Tiger Talisman is indeed of great importance. Regardless of whether the girl took this thing away, we still go to the palace to assist the Holy Emperor in investigating it."
"If the girl is unwilling to enter the palace to cooperate with the investigation, even if the girl has the Jade Slip of Lixin given by Master Lu as a token, Yan may be offended today."
Lin Xixue chuckled inwardly, she couldn't wait to push herself out to take the blame.
If I hadn't taken a step ahead of him and investigated the whole situation in advance, I'm afraid I would have accepted this big pot in a daze today.
Seeing that Lin Xixue didn't respond, Yanyou continued to console him: "Miss Lin, as the saying goes, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. If it is true that this tiger charm was not taken by the girl, Yanyou will keep you safe."
"Well, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of slanted shadows when you are upright. I really don't know what this thing is. It doesn't hurt to go with you."
"In that case, without further delay, we will enter the palace immediately and explain the whole story to the royal family." Yanyou stood up immediately, looking impatient.
"It's just a matter of entering the palace to meet the saint. I saw Mr. Yan looked anxious. Could it be that he was afraid that I would abscond?" Lin Xixue's words seemed to be teasing, but in fact, she pointed out the suspicious behavior of the banquet quite straightforwardly.
at.
She did this for no other reason than to test again how Yanyou would respond to this suspicious behavior.
After all, different ways of responding can often reveal a person's confidence in behavior.
Yanyou's response was quite conservative. He chuckled and said, "Miss Lin misunderstood. It's just that the Holy Emperor is in a hurry. As a minister, how can I not be in a hurry."
"That's how it is. Mr. Yan can worry about the emperor's urgent needs, but I don't know, Mr. Yan, are you a loyal person or a patriotic person?" Lin Xixue continued to press.
This time, Yanyou's face finally froze, but he returned to normal in an instant. He waved his hand and said, "We have important matters at hand. Let's talk about such idle talk another day."
Lin Xixue showed a harmless smile and said: "Okay, let's listen to Young Master Yan's arrangements first and enter the palace to meet the saint."
