Rebirth as Princess Jin again

After going to court, Situ Jin followed Situ Lin to the royal study.

Entering the royal study, Situ Lin stepped away from the people waiting around him and said, "I know that today's punishment for the third child is a little lighter, but I am not only an emperor but also a father, so I can't bear to kill him. , I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

Situ Jin lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "I know my father's intentions, I don't blame my father!"

Situ Lin sighed: "You didn't grow up by my side. I owe you after all. But now that you have suffered such a great injustice, I still have to take the overall situation into consideration. Don't worry, no one can shake the position of the crown prince here." No, not just for you, but also for Ruier, I hope you can understand my intention."

Situ Jin felt warm in his heart, and suddenly felt sad when he looked at Situ Lin, who looked slightly tired above him.

He loves Rui'er so much, perhaps just to make up for the debt he owed him back then.

Situ Lin frowned slightly and suddenly said: "What happened to Xiao Dongcheng was not my fault. Are you willing to believe me?"

Situ Jin did not expect that he would ask himself such a question. Last night, he went to Xiao Mansion as soon as he received the news, not only to confirm the truth of the matter, but also to dispel Xiao Feng's doubts. But when he learned that Xiao Feng Having already left the city, he knew that the guards who had followed Xiao Dongcheng and survived must have informed Xiao Feng of the matter, but now that he could not find Xiao Feng, he had no idea how to resolve this misunderstanding.

Situ Jin said in a calm voice: "I believe my father. Kong Wencai has already explained this matter. He did it to cause misunderstanding between the Xiao family and the royal family. I wanted to go to Xiao Feng to explain it clearly." , but Xiao Feng left the city last night, and must have gone to find his uncle."

Situ Lin said: "I summoned Xiao Dongcheng back this time to offer marriage to Jiaoyang, but I didn't expect that the matter would turn out like this. I'm afraid that Jiaoyang girl will make trouble with me again."

Situ Jin thought for a moment and finally asked: "Since my father wanted to grant marriage to Jiao Yang and Xiao Feng, why did he ask him not to lead the army? Does my father really intend to take back the Xiao family's military power in Jincheng?"

Situ Lin sighed lowly: "Old Seven, when I first took the throne, I also held the Wei family high like you. Only then did the Wei family control the former harem tightly. Waiting for me When I tried to move them, I discovered that it had already been deeply rooted and affected the whole body. With the fall of the Wei family, turmoil broke out on the border, which finally shook the country."

"I hope I can clear the way for you in the future. This evil person can only be done by me."

Situ Jin said disapprovingly: "Father, my uncle will not become a person like Wei. Xiao Feng and I grew up together. The friendship between us is better than that of brothers. Please believe in him, don't force him, and help him." With the blazing sun.”

Situ Lin was startled by what he said and smiled bitterly: "If you sit in this position, you are destined to be a loner!"

Situ Jin said calmly: "What about the mother and concubine? Does the father also have this kind of plot against the mother and concubine?"

The expression on Situ Lin's face froze, and he looked a little ugly. For many years, he had frozen that woman in his heart. He thought that as long as others didn't talk about it, he could forget the pain in his heart, but he didn't expect that now his own biological child would The son actually broke through this thin layer of ice, and the facts once again appeared in front of him in a bloody appearance.

After a while, he murmured: "I don't know. Maybe I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have imprisoned her in the palace. I thought that loving someone means possessing her. But to her, this palace is just a golden palace." It’s just a cage.”

"I deceived myself and even harmed her."

This was the first time that father and son communicated completely as father and son instead of as monarch and minister. The depression that had been suppressed in Situ Lin's heart for a long time was suddenly released, and his mood suddenly became brighter.

While the father and son were talking, the prince hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is outside asking for an audience."

Seeing this, Situ Jin hurriedly said: "Father, please leave first!"

Situ Lin ordered: "Send someone to look for Xiao Dongcheng and make sure to find them!"

"Yes, I am resigning!"

Situ Jin just walked to the door and met Concubine Chen. She looked at the calm and calm prince in front of her. Thinking that her father was about to be executed and her son was also imprisoned in the house, she said coldly and sarcastically: "His Royal Highness is so scheming. One move will end the future of my Chen family."

Situ Jin gave her a cold look: "If the imperial concubine is so idle, she might as well teach her son what to do and what not to do!"

Before Concubine Chen could react, Situ Jin had already strode away.

Concubine Chen entered the imperial study and knelt on the ground with a plop. She begged pitifully for mercy: "Your Majesty, what mistake did my concubine's father make? You want to have his house confiscated and beheaded. My father is already old. Please take care of me." For my sake, please spare my father and let him enjoy his old age!"

Situ Lin's mood, which had just relaxed, became irritable again. He used to feel that this woman was pitiful towards Concubine Chen's pitiful appearance, but now that he saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgust in his heart.

"You shouldn't ask me what mistake he made. You should ask your good son."

Concubine Chen asked knowingly. How could she not know what King Yu had done?

"Your Majesty, I beg you, for the sake of my father's hard work over the years, please spare his life, demote him back to his hometown, and let him reflect at home. Don't kill her, just spare him this time!"

Concubine Chen cried so much that she knew the emperor was soft-hearted. If she could spare her son, she would definitely spare her father.

Unexpectedly, Situ Lin was extremely ruthless this time: "Don't think that I don't know about you poisoning the queen at the last banquet. Do you really think that I just believed the maid's words if I didn't investigate? I am I wanted to save some face for you, but I didn’t expect that not only did you not think about it, but you actually allowed your son to murder the prince and openly opposed me, Chen Man’er, if you know how to deal with this, you will stay well in the harem.”

After hearing Situ Lin call her by his first name, Concubine Chen realized that Situ Lin was determined to kill his father.

She was completely panicked: "Your Majesty, I beg you, please spare my father's life. My father is old and he won't live for a few more years. Please spare him..."

Situ Lin interrupted her sternly: "Don't think that today Chen Xiao took the initiative to stand up and take the blame, just to leave a way out for the third child. These things were all done by your good son. I only killed Chen Xiao today. The nine clans have already given you the Chen family great respect, otherwise I should reward you with a white silk ribbon just because you dared to poison Rui'er."

Concubine Chen looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. It turned out that the child was the most important to him. He should have known that he was delaying in establishing a prince because of that child. No wonder, no wonder he did not choose Situ Jing as the prince, but he chose Situ Jin, the only person he valued in his heart was that child.
