"Yes, I understand." The guard shivered in fear again, and Lin Xiner's voice contained obvious murderous intent.
He is just a small guard who works in the palace to support his family. How can he offend all the extraordinary people in the palace? Even if there is no invisible reward, he should not say a word casually.
"Hey! What happened? How come there is an assassin?" The steward of the criminal room let go after seeing that Lin Xiner had no other injuries except being lame and unable to stand upright after being beaten with a cane.
Heart comes.
Everyone here knew that if Lin Xiner was beaten to death, it would be fine. If she couldn't be beaten to death, she would still be Princess Xuan. Considering the reputation of Prince Xuan, they would have to survive seven days and deliver Lin Xiner alive into Prince Xuan's hands.
"Is the assassin really Eunuch Tao?" the steward asked the guard in disbelief.
The guard nodded quickly, "I didn't expect it to be Eunuch Tao either."
"How could that old guy do such a thing when he seems so honest? I wonder who ordered him?" the steward thought.
The guard shook his head dully, prepared to ask questions.
Lin Xiner waited in the criminal room and didn't say much.
Soon, news came from Jinyang Palace that Ximen Jinglie announced that he wanted to see Lin Xiner and the guard.
It was a long way from the criminal room to Jinyang Palace. Lin Xiner's legs and feet were inconvenient due to the cane, so she walked very slowly, moving at a turtle's speed on the blue brick road in the palace.
"Princess, can you please hurry up? Don't keep the emperor waiting for so long?" Xiao Guizi, who was responsible for delivering the decree, urged impatiently.
His tone is different from that of the people around the emperor, and he dares to show his thoughts.
Lin Xiner stopped, looked up at the little eunuch, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty has a good memory and will never forget that this princess just received the cane."
Everyone knows her "situation", so why do you, a little eunuch, keep talking about her?
"Yes, yes, I just remind the princess to hurry up as fast as possible to avoid making the emperor angry." Xiao Guizi said.
Lin Xiner ignored Xiao Guizi, lowered her head, and continued to move slowly.
At night, she had hurried from the criminal room to Jinyang Palace. She was so quick that she didn't bother to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Now she could take this opportunity to get familiar with it again.
Suddenly, Lin Xiner felt those familiar eyes appear beside her again, hiding somewhere and staring at her closely as if they wanted to see through her.
Lin Xiner pretended to wipe her sweat, raised her head and quickly scanned her surroundings. The lush tall trees not far away were the best place to hide.
She is now a person who has been beaten for thirty times. Even if she can "lucky" survive, it is too unrealistic to walk so strong. So, under the gaze of those eyes hiding in the dark, Lin Xin
The boy rolled over and fell to the ground.
"Princess!" the guard following her shouted nervously.
"Ouch, what's going on?" Xiao Guizi was also a little anxious.
"The princess has been punished by the rod, so naturally she cannot walk far." The guard said. He knew that his role now was to cover up the fact that Lin Xiner was safe and sound. Only if he covered up for Lin Xiner well could he get out of this incident.
Escape safely.
"This... the emperor is still waiting!" Xiao Guizi stamped her foot anxiously. The emperor didn't say what should I do if the princess was unconscious? The emperor has been made to wait for so long, and if she goes to report it at this time, wouldn't it make the emperor even more angry?
Get angry and blame yourself for not doing things well?
"What's wrong?" Ximen Yin came from the side of the road.
"I'm here to see the Third Prince." Xiao Guizi and the guards quickly saluted Ximen Yin.
"This is... Princess Xuan?" Ximen Yin glanced at the person lying on the ground and guessed uncertainly.
"Exactly." Xiao Guizi replied, "It's just that the princess suddenly fainted in the middle of the road, and the servant doesn't know what to do?"
"Of course it's Dr. Xuan." Ximen Yin said without thinking.
"It's just that the emperor is still waiting in Jinyang Palace to hear the case in person." Xiao Guizi said.
"It was an accident. Of course, human life is at stake. Princess Xuan was not beaten to death. Did she have to faint and die on the way to Jinyang Palace? Is it possible that you want to blame this life on your father?" Ximen Yin raised his head.
At a certain volume, due to slight fluctuations in mood, I couldn't help but cough again.
"I don't dare," Xiao Guizi said quickly.
"You go back to Jinyang Palace to report to your father first. Princess Xuan will be taken to Cuizhu Pavilion first. I have all kinds of medicines prepared there all year round, so I can treat Princess Xuan first." Ximen Yin explained.
Cuizhu Pavilion is near this road, so Ximen Yin decided this way.
"Okay, I will obey the Third Prince." Xiao Guizi said. Now that the Third Prince came forward, he felt a little relieved.
Xiao Guizi quickly ran to Jinyang Palace. Ximen Yin glanced at the guard who stayed behind and said, "Carry Princess Xuan to Cuizhu Pavilion."
The guard did not dare to neglect, carried Lin Xiner on his back, and followed Ximen Yin to Cuizhu Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the Cuizhu Pavilion, Lin Xiner smelled the pungent smell of medicine, as if she had fallen into a medicine jar. She had heard that the third prince was frail and sick, and it seemed that he was seriously ill. He sounded weak when he spoke.
It's like losing a soul. To put it harshly, it's like a half-leg has stepped into the loess.
"Put the princess here." Ximen Yin pointed to a rattan bed in the house.
The guard put Lin Xiner down.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiner used the rattan bed to touch the place where she had been beaten. She screamed and "woke up".
"Isn't this Jinyang Palace?" Lin Xiner turned sideways and asked in confusion as she looked at the unfamiliar place.
"Princess, this is the Cuizhu Pavilion of the third prince." the guard explained.
"Third Prince?" Lin Xiner's eyes turned to Ximen Yin.
His complexion was very poor, and he looked even pale when paired with the white shirt. His body was very thin, and he looked extremely weak. As expected, he could not inherit the strong martial arts skills of the Ximen family. Things like playing the piano and painting were suitable for him.
"Isn't my father going to try some case? You go to Jinyang Palace first. After Princess Xuan rests with me for a while, I will find someone to send her there. She is my royal aunt, and my father will not deliberately embarrass her.
She." Ximen Yin said to the guard.
"This..." The guard looked at Lin Xiner at a loss.
"Go ahead and report everything you saw to the Emperor," Lin Xiner said.
It sounded like Lin Xiner was trying to embolden the guard, but actually it sounded like she was under a lot of pressure.
"Yes." The guard had no choice but to go to Jinyang Palace alone to face the Holy Spirit.
"The emperor's aunt has been punished by the cane and should not move around too much. I will lend my sedan to the emperor later." Ximen Yin said.
Because Ximen Yin was weak and sick, Ximen Jinglie once gave him a special sedan chair. He stayed at Cuizhu Pavilion on weekdays and could ride it anywhere at any time. This was much faster than finding a sedan chair when something happened.
