Lin Xiner was lying on the bed and sat up when she heard a few insects chirping outside the house.
The room was very dark, the candles had been extinguished long ago, and under the dim moonlight, Lin Xiner looked at Yan'er on the other bed, who was already fast asleep.
Lin Xiner quietly stood up, put on her coat, and left the house.
It was late at night, the entire Taishi Mansion had fallen silent, and the chirping of insects could be heard more clearly.
Lin Xiner stood in the yard, bent her little finger and blew in her mouth, making a whistle that was not too loud, and the sound was not so crisp in the night.
"How did you come?"
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Lin Xiner asked without looking back.
"It seems that the road to marrying into the palace is not smooth. I came to see you."
The person who came was a man with his hair disheveled. A rope was tied around his forehead to lift up his hanging hair. He was wearing blue clothes and a vest of the same color casually draped over his shoulders, like a wanderer walking with the wind.
Exuding wanton fearlessness.
"Nothing goes smoothly, but you will definitely succeed." Lin Xiner turned around and smiled sweetly at the man, "Brother Huangfu, when have you ever had to worry about me doing something?"
"You are getting married now. I'm afraid there is no other woman in the world who would marry a man who doesn't care as much as you designed." Huangfu Yanchong casually waved his vest and said.
"But I do it for the person I care about most." Lin Xiner corrected in a deep voice.
"Okay, okay, no one can stop your decision, but after you get married, you have to protect yourself well. The deep courtyard of the palace is not as good as the outside, and we don't have our own people to take care of you." Huangfu Yan said.
"Don't worry, let Master also rest assured. I will try to escape after finding what I need." Lin Xiner said, "Besides, I will only be laughed at by people like this, and no one will think twice about me.
"
Huangfu Yanchong frowned slightly when he saw Lin Xiner's calmness. No one had any ideas about her because they didn't know the real her. If it was discovered that everything was her disguise, how could she not become the prey of someone with intentions?
"It's better to be careful." Huangfu Yanchong said, "I saw someone sneaking out of the Grand Master's Mansion just now. I don't know what their intentions are."
"Oh? Who is it? I didn't even find it." Lin Xiner asked.
"It seems to be Prince Xuan." Huangfu Yanchong thought for a while and answered firmly, "He probably only came to your father's house and didn't come close to you, so you didn't notice it."
"Ximen Jingxuan? He has returned to Beijing?" Lin Xiner was a little surprised, "Do you want to come back in a hurry to help the prince?"
"I don't know." Huangfu Yanchong shook his head, "That's why I'm worried about you. The prince is a mediocre person, but the Prince Xuan behind him cannot be ignored."
"I understand." Lin Xiner lowered her eyes calmly.
Huangfu Yan raised the vest in his hand and glanced at the dark sky, "It's time for me to leave. The people over at Black Wind Hall are a little dishonest. I need to go over and deal with it."
"Yes." Lin Xiner nodded, watched Huangfu Yanchong leave, and then quietly returned to the house.
Yan'er was still sleeping soundly. Lin Xiner was lying on the bed, with fragments of the past flashing through her mind.
When he was eleven years old, Lin Bo stayed in northern Xinjiang with his family. Once, Lin Xin'er and Lin Ke'er went up to the mountain to play, and were pushed off the cliff by Lin Ke'er, who was only nine years old. Fortunately, he survived and was beaten by his master.
From then on, she acted like a lame girl who was looked down upon by others, but secretly began to learn martial arts from her master.
Over the past few years, due to her excellent understanding and hard work, she has mastered the true teachings of her master and practiced extremely high martial arts. However, this secret is only known to the people in Shuiyue Palace founded by her master.
Lin Xin'er didn't want to expose herself until Yue Gong's peerless skills became a master comparable to her master.
Two years ago, Lin Bo's class teacher returned to Beijing and took up the position of Grand Master, and his family members followed him back to Beijing. In order to facilitate the meeting with Lin Xiner and to expand his power, Shuiyue Palace also secretly moved from northern Xinjiang to the capital.
However, a year ago, the master suddenly contracted a strange disease, and even with all the power of Shuiyue Palace, no cure could be found. News was received from Shuiyue Palace that the imperial doctor who eloped with the concubine was captured by the court. It is said that this
The imperial doctor is the descendant of Guigu's miracle doctor and has superb medical skills. However, he disappeared for many years and suddenly heard that he was arrested.
People in Shuiyue Palace tried their best to find the place where the imperial doctor was imprisoned, but found nothing. In order to have a reason to move freely in the palace, Lin Xiner decided to become a member of the royal family and devised a plan to let the emperor grant a marriage to the prince.
He wanted to get closer to the royal family and go deep inside to find the whereabouts of the imperial doctor.
The Huangfu Yan Chong whom I met just now is the adopted son recognized by Lin Xiner's master. He is the Young Master Shui Yue who ranks third in Shui Yue Palace besides Lin Xiner, the Young Palace Master of Shui Yue Palace.
Lin Xiner was worried when she thought of her master's condition. The master's love for her was stronger than every family member around her. After falling off a cliff and being rescued, Lin Xiner regarded her as her reborn mother. Therefore, no matter what the future holds,
, she wants to find a cure for her master.
But the news brought by Huangfu Yanchong made her wonder again. Ximen Jingxuan originally went to Jiangnan to garrison and inspect the border guards in southern Xinjiang. She did not hear that he returned to Beijing. But he suddenly appeared at night and sneaked into the Taishi Mansion, trying to
What? He really has the means to settle this marriage for the prince, which affects the authority of the Taishi Palace and the strength of the emperor's golden words?
Lin Xin'er had seen this Prince Xuan from a distance, who was said to be able to fight alongside Grand Master Lin Bo on the battlefield and be on an equal footing with the Emperor. He was only a few years older than the Prince, but he was a very powerful figure in the dynasty.
The emperor's uncle is indeed a figure not to be underestimated.
