Nangong Liu Xi wiped away her tears and raised her head to look at Lin Yibing. Thinking of poor Lin Yichen, she couldn't help but close her eyes. Tears fell down her cheeks, making Lin Yibing sigh.
"Mother, don't be too sad. It's all fate, just accept it."
"Admit it?!" Nangong Liuxi's voice was higher than that of Lin Yibing. She glared at his frightened expression with disgust and said sternly: "Is this why you came to my place today?"
"Oh, Queen Mother!" Lin Yibing stamped his feet anxiously, took a step forward and half-knelt beside Nangong Liu Xi, and said: "What do you want to do today? If you anger Father again, then maybe the next one will die.
It's me, we..."
"That's enough! Get out!" Nangong Liuxi could no longer listen to any word Lin Yibing said. She stretched out her hand to push him away from her. Nangong Liuxi said angrily: "I don't want to see you again, get out!"
Before Lin Yibing could say a few words, Nangong Liu Xi drove him away. Standing at the door of the palace, he looked back at the closed door, sighed and left with his head lowered.
Although Nangong Liuxi drove Lin Yibing away, what he said has always been in Nangong Liuxi's head.
Accepting her fate? How could she be willing to do so? In a short period of time, her brother died and her son was gone. Now her father and brother who are far away at the border still don’t know whether they will live or die, and they don’t know what the emperor will do to them. Is this all fate? They
Is this the fate of the Nangong family? Did she conquer this country in the first place just to die at the hands of Lin Yunlong? How could she accept such a fate?
Nangong Liuxi's feelings for Lin Yunlong have already gone from admiration at the beginning to disdain later to hatred today. It has been a difficult journey, but she never expected that it would end up in such an embarrassing situation. Her son was originally
His last hope was gone now, and Nangong Liuxi couldn't help but feel a little desperate. She hoped that someone would stand up and tell her that Lin Yichen was not dead and that she still had hope. However, she never heard that
The voice. Even Luo Yuncheng, whom she had come to rescue Lin Yichen, was nowhere to be found.
Luo Yunzheng returned to the capital, but there was no accurate news to prove whether the prince was dead or alive and where he was. He did not dare to see the queen easily again, for fear of causing any trouble again, so Luo Yunzheng followed them
After being busy for so long, I feel more or less tired.
Everyone remembers what Lin Yunlong once said above the main hall: If one person in the Nangong family is guilty, the whole family will be executed.
Just when people were still worried or watching the excitement and wanted to continue to see how the emperor would deal with those who had not yet been dealt with, a bolt of news came from the palace.
Your Majesty, you passed away.
This incident was unexpected by anyone, including the queen, the princes, and even Liu Lei, who had been serving Lin Yunlong.
Looking at Lin Yunlong who was lifeless on the dragon bed, Liu Lei's eyes turned red from crying. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He stared at Lin Yunlong intently, and repeatedly checked whether he still had breathing and pulse, but the fact was that he was still breathing.
Liu Lei was desperate.
I was obviously fine and energetic yesterday, but why am I gone after just one nap...
After hearing the news, the princes and ministers who rushed to the palace were all confused after seeing the emperor's remains. Too many things had happened recently, and each one was beyond their imagination. Lin Yunlong was tough and vicious.
His style has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the eyes of these people, Lin Yunlong will definitely not be the one who dies early. However, things are unpredictable, and the person who is least likely to die unexpectedly dies like this.
When Lin Yunlong died, Lin Yixiang couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He should be happy, but he was also a little uneasy.
The emperor died and the country could not live without a king for a day, which meant that the prince was about to ascend the throne. But Lin Yixiang had no idea at all. Like Liu Lei, he even doubted Lin Yunlong's life and death and suspected that this was a conspiracy.
Cries could be heard everywhere in the palace. The concubines were crying that they had lost their husbands. They were worried about their future fate. They didn't know whether they would be the one buried with him, the one who stayed in the palace, or whether they would be sent back.
At home, the princes cried that they had lost their father, and were afraid that the new emperor would be dissatisfied with them after he ascended the throne and take the opportunity to eradicate him; the ministers cried that they had lost their master, knowing that the court would soon undergo big changes.
It is still unknown whether his official position can be retained.
When Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang entered the palace, many people had already rushed over. They were kneeling outside the door, with sad emotions on their faces. Lin Yinan and Lin Yixiang walked into the room and looked at Liu Lei kneeling in front of the bed.
He frowned.
When Liu Lei saw these two people coming, he quickly stood up and stood aside.
Lin Yixiang looked at the person on the bed with doubts, and then looked at Liu Lei. After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, can you let the people from the Imperial Physician's Hall come to see you? Didn't my father return the favor yesterday?
Okay?"
"Go back to your lord, the imperial doctors have looked at it and can't find out the cause of death." Liu Lei's voice was trembling as he spoke. He lowered his head. Lin Yixiang couldn't see the expression on his face, but he also knew that this old servant had always been right.
Lin Yunlong was loyal, and he must have felt very uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't ask too many questions.
Liu Lei didn't say much, and Lin Yinan didn't ask anything in front of Lin Yixiang. But after Lin Yixiang walked out, Lin Yinan walked up to Liu Lei in a few steps, lowered his voice and asked: "The doctors can't find out the cause of death.
Can't you find out Eunuch Liu?"
Liu Lei raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yinan, shook his head, said nothing, pursed his lips and lowered his head.
When Lin Yixiang came in again, what he saw was Liu Lei and Lin Yinan standing opposite each other, neither of them saying anything.
"What's wrong?" His eyes flashed, and he went over and asked.
"It's okay, I just wanted to ask him some details, but my father-in-law was so heartbroken that he couldn't think of anything for a while."
Lin Yinan opened his mouth to answer, looking at the faintly visible bruises on Lin Yixiang's face, he said in a low mood: "I'm going to go out and take a breath."
In the Eighth Emperor's Palace, Lu Zhiyao, who did not accompany Lin Yinan to the palace, was a little upset and angry. How could he die like this if he died?
After walking around the house for a few times, Lu Zhiyao saw He Xiaobai sitting in the garden with his head bowed and silent. After a pause, she changed direction and walked towards He Xiaobai.
"He Lao, are you... okay?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly.
He Xiaobai raised his head and glanced at Lu Zhiyao, and replied with a half-smile: "Okay, how can it be bad? The white-haired people send the black-haired people away, old man, I don't know how many people have been sent away."
How could Lu Zhiyao not hear the sadness and helplessness contained in these words? This is an old man who has experienced too many life, death, and separation, but what he has in his heart is not the joy of living, but for those who have died.
And feel sad.
Lu Zhiyao thought, He Xiaobai must be a very smart person. Otherwise, he would not have lived so long. Even if he has good kung fu, the higher a person stands, the more likely he is to fall, just like Lin
Yunlong. What's more, He Xiaobai can endure loneliness and live in that secret passage for so long. This is something that not everyone can do.
"Girl." Just as Lu Zhiyao was deep in thought, He Xiaobai asked. "Do you hate the emperor?"
Lu Zhiyao was taken aback, and replied politely as usual: "What did Mr. He say? Father, he is the emperor..."
"Tell the truth." He Xiaobai thought about Lu Zhiyao's words with a serious expression, and then asked the question again.
Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, and then replied slowly: "I hate it. I hate it. Not only because my father threw me into the secret room, but also for other reasons. But I also know that there is no one in this world.
You are born to die. Everyone is helpless."
How could she not hate him? Lin Yunlong didn't deserve to die, but how many of his relatives died at Lin Yunlong's hands?
He Xiaobai nodded approvingly, "It seems that Lao Ba chose you for a reason."
He Xiaobai murmured, then stood up and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Play a game of chess with me."
"Now?"
"Now."
Lu Zhiyao couldn't understand He Xiaobai's thoughts, and since he had nothing to do now, he followed him.
While He Xiaobai was playing chess with Lu Zhiyao, he was thinking about Lin Yunlong. That was the apprentice he single-handedly brought up, and he was also his most proud student. Lin Yunlong became the emperor, and he was happy. Lin Yunlong killed innocent people indiscriminately,
He is worried.
As a result, He Xiaobai lost the chess game to Lu Zhiyao.
Such an ending made He Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh twice, and then he left lonely under Lu Zhiyao's eyes.
Lu Zhiyao called several times but He Xiaobai didn't turn around. He just waved at Lu Zhiyao, indicating that she didn't need to follow him.
This is destined to be a busy day, from early morning to night.
The sky was gloomy and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, so people had to add more clothes.
The wind was howling, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Lu Zhiyao was leaning against the door with his clothes on, waiting for Lin Yinan. She knew that he would not come back today, but she still wanted to stand here. The coolness of the air made her clear-headed, and she always felt that this day
It looks like it's going to snow.
The news of the emperor's death was not known to the people so quickly. There have been too many disturbing things recently. Now the emperor's death will definitely cause people to panic. And once it is known to the Qingming Kingdom, the other party will definitely not
Don't miss such a good opportunity.
Lu Zhiyao waited until very late and was about to turn around and go back when Lin Yinan suddenly came back exhausted. Seeing Lu Zhiyao's waiting figure, Lin Yinan was startled, and then walked over quickly.
"Why don't you come in?" Lin Yinan took Lu Zhiyao's cold hand and pushed open the door.
"The room is stuffy and I can't stay." Lu Zhiyao followed him obediently. Seeing his hand being held in his, his heart finally felt warmer after being cold all day.
"Why are you back?"
"So tired." As soon as Lu Zhiyao started to speak, he was interrupted by Lin Yinan. The weight of his body was exerted on Lu Zhiyao, and Lin Yinan leaned his head on her shoulder, "Don't say anything, stay with me for a while."
