Lin Xingwei looked down through the railing of the box. Wen Lin also stood up and walked over. The masked Yang Zhai army had surrounded the entire theater. The leaders Bao Shang and Zuo Qiuzhi asked everyone to sit back quietly and wait for their identities to be checked.
"People from Shangdu Mansion, why do these monsters come here?" Lin Xingwei muttered.
Wen Lin glanced at Lin Xingwei with red eyes and said, "Let's go through the back door."
"Um."
The two quickly went downstairs and walked to the backyard. Before the door to the backyard was opened, a cold light penetrated Lin Xingwei's neck. Lin Xingwei was so frightened that he shrank his head back and leaned against the hard armor.
"Why are you two?" A familiar muffled voice sounded, and the cold light on Lin Xingwei's neck instantly disappeared, and he put it into the scabbard with a click.
Lin Xing turned around slightly, and Wei Mingji was staring at the two of them coldly.
Wen Lin bowed to Wei Mingji as a scholar and said, "We are here to listen to a play, and we also want to say hello to General Wei?"
Wei Mingji glanced at him and said, "Just watch a show. Why are you crying, Sir Wen?"
He glanced at Lin Xingwei again and asked, "You cried too?"
Lin Xing glanced at him slightly, "Aren't we sad after listening to the show?"
"Then what are you running from?"
"Don't I want to see you?"
Wei Mingji: "..."
Seeing that his master was ignoring business and asking questions about two unrelated people, Bao Shang ran over and asked: "General, those people in front..."
Wei Mingji immediately became angry and scolded: "You have been in Shangdu Mansion for so long, do you still want me to teach you how to do things? You and Zuo Qiuzhi, the people in front, will investigate carefully. The suspects must be caught today. As for these two people, just
Leave it to me for interrogation."
"Alas!" Wen Lin stepped forward and blocked Lin Xingwei behind him, saying: "If you want to investigate the suspect, go and investigate. We are here to listen to the show and have nothing to do with what you want to investigate."
Wei Mingji snorted coldly, "Are you sure you are here to listen to the show? Then tell me what was sung on stage today that made you two feel so sad?"
Wen Lin: "..."
Lin Xingwei: "..."
They had been babbling and singing on the stage for a long time, but they really didn't listen carefully to what was being sung.
Neither of them responded. Wei Mingji became angry and gestured back, saying: "Take them both back to the wing upstairs and wait for me to question them carefully!"
"General Wei, can you please be reasonable..." Before Wen Lin could finish his words, two military men came up and grabbed Wen Lin and Lin Xingwei and dragged them back to the box upstairs.
Wen Lin sat upright in front of the tea table, Lin Xingwei sat cross-legged on one side, and Wei Mingji paced back and forth in front of the two of them. After a while, he asked coldly: "First of all, why are you two crying?"
Wen Lin sighed helplessly, "This is our private matter..."
Wei Mingji: "What kind of private matter can you have if you are not relatives? What kind of shameful private matter can I tell this general?"
Lin Xing looked at Wei Mingji with a slight hatred. She was quite grateful to him for finding a good place for Cao Yi before, but now she no longer felt any gratitude at all.
Neither of them spoke. Wei Mingji looked at Lin Xing and sneered slightly, "Not long after your fiancée left the capital, you started having secret meetings with your foreign man?"
Lin Xingwei said angrily: "He is not a foreigner, he is my brother!"
"Oh..." Wei Mingji trailed off, "I forgot, you two are sworn brothers."
Lin Xing gave him a stern look. They were obviously brothers and sisters who interacted normally, but now they were stuck here, as if they had really done something shameful.
Wen Lin said with a sullen face: "General Wei, it's alright. You are digging into the details like this, as if we have really done something shameful. The princess and I are innocent, and we are just talking about our unfortunate past."
That’s all.”
Wei Mingji was silent for a moment and said: "Since Minister Wen said so, I won't ask any questions, but it's best for you two to leave separately..."
Lin Xingwei stood up immediately, "Then I'll leave first."
Wei Mingji's eyes turned cold: "You leave last!"
He looked at Wen Lin with the intention of urging him, but Wen Lin didn't move at all. Wen Lin said: "I came here with the princess, so if we want to leave, we must leave together. Compared to me, you are the outsider."
Wei Mingji chuckled twice, sat cross-legged next to Lin Xingwei, and said: "Since Minister Wen doesn't want to leave, tell me about your unfortunate past. I don't have any other hobbies. I like to listen to other people's opinions most.
The details of my family background are clear."
Lin Xingwei secretly cursed to himself, Wei Mingji's reputation as a devil was really not false! If he continues like this, the two of them might start fighting.
She looked at Wen Lin with a smile and said, "Brother, why don't you leave first? I'll talk to the general for a while before leaving. Tell Luofu and Yunzhu to wait for me on the street for a while."
Wen Lin stood up and said angrily: "I'm waiting for you in the carriage too."
The military man opened the door for Wen Lin and sent him out.
There was no one in the box. Wei Mingji took off his mask, took a breath, and suddenly said: "The Queen Mother is in very bad health. I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand this."
"Huh?" Lin Xing was slightly stunned. If it's not good, then it's okay. What does it have to do with me?
Wei Mingji looked at Lin Xingwei with soft eyes and said leisurely: "If the Queen Mother dies, it will be a national mourning. All ministers will not be able to arrange happy events for three years."
"Oh." Lin Xing responded indifferently, "It doesn't matter if we can't hold a happy event for three years. My Cao Yi may be promoted in three years. If we hold a happy event by then, it will be even better!"
These are all things that Lin Xingwei knows well. Facing Wei Mingji, she still has to be tough.
Wei Mingji forced a smile, "Three years, there are too many changes, and you are dividing the two places...I mean, I have a chance."
Lin Xingwei waved her hands quickly: "No! You have no chance! Even if Cao Yi takes a concubine, I will marry him."
Wei Mingji lowered his eyes for a while: "There are no absolutes in this world. I will not use tricks anymore, but if you and Cao Yi break off the engagement, I will be the first to ask you to marry me, and I will never allow you to marry anyone else."
Lin Xing's long eyelashes flashed and he whispered: "That's not what you said before."
Wei Mingji's face was sullen, with a coldness on his fair face, "I regret it!"
He looked at Lin Xingwei with complicated eyes, "I regret it very much. After you and Cao Yi got engaged, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. You'd better not give me a chance, otherwise I won't let you go."
Lin Xingwei felt like there was a lump in her throat and could not speak. This was the most terrifying confession she had ever heard. If she was really unfortunate enough to get married to Wei Mingji in the future, the first thing she saw would probably not be the wedding candle in the red tent, but the wedding candle in the red tent.
The prisoner on death row in Xanadu Prefecture...
Zuoqiu Zhi knocked on the door: "General, the suspect has been caught."
Wei Mingji put on his mask, stood up, opened the door, and told Zuo Qiuzhi: "Bring the person back for detailed interrogation, and the rest of the people will evacuate in an orderly manner, so as not to disturb the city."
Zuo Qiuzhi responded and ran downstairs.
Wei Mingji turned around and said to Lin Xingwei: "Keep what I said in mind, and don't forget it."
Lin Xingwei looked at Wei Mingji with a frown on his face and turned around and went downstairs. He had never seen such a thick-skinned person. It was rare for someone to try to interfere in other people's feelings and still be so confident!
Lin Xingwei didn't know how she got out of the Jingshui Tower. She came back to her senses when Yunzhu waved to her.
Wen Lin was still standing by the carriage waiting. When he saw Lin Xingwei coming out, after saying a few words of concern, he got into his own carriage and parted ways at the street corner.
On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Lin Xingwei remained silent, leaning against the car window in a daze.
That night, Lin Xingwei was sleepless again, and carried the Yao Qin to the backyard. After observing the stars for a while in the doghouse, he condensed all the resentment in his heart into his fingertips, vented it on the strings, and played it to the two dogs...
