After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Lin Xun, who was playing chess with Emperor Yonghui at this time, felt a chill on his back for some reason.

He put down the chess piece, looked at the hesitant Emperor Yonghui with a calm gaze, and asked, "Is your Majesty worried about something?"

Emperor Yonghui sighed and said, "It's all for the third brother."

"The third son has reached adulthood this year and should have married in the royal family a long time ago. His marriage to the girl from the Xiao family was arranged by the emperor's elder brother. Now that the Yong'an Marquis and his family have returned, it's time to set a date for their wedding, which is also a happy event. However, the emperor..."

He did not express his concerns, but said: "Anyway, this matter makes me very worried."

Emperor Yonghui was talking to himself. He knew that Lin Xun was aloof and did not like to meddle in other people's affairs. He did not expect him to respond. He just treated him as someone to whom he could speak his true feelings.

but……

"The situation is not stable yet, so there is no need to rush into getting married."

The regent, who was always frugal with words, said this, which surprised Emperor Yonghui.

After a brief moment of surprise, Emperor Yonghui smiled and said, "Yes, with an uncle like you around, Shaoshu isn't considered old after all."

Even through the mask, Emperor Yonghui could feel the chill in Lin Xun's eyes.

They have always had a good relationship, and Emperor Yonghui is considered Lin Xun's elder, so he is not afraid of Lin Xun's cold attitude at all.

"By the way, now that the war at the border has settled down a bit, is there a girl you like... I will grant you a marriage or something."

Emperor Yonghui said this half jokingly and half seriously.

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me."

Lin Xun pointed at his mask nonchalantly and said, "I'd better not bother those girls when I look like this."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yonghui sighed and said, "If it weren't for Dayin and me, how could you do this?"

Everyone knows that Lin Shaoshu and Xiao family's eldest son Xiao Zirong are both handsome and unparalleled in appearance. However, few people know that the one who can truly be described as "unparalleled in appearance" is the Regent Lin Xun, who is feared by the world like a demon.

only……

For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study became solemn. Lin Xun felt bored and got up to leave.

It was almost dusk at this time. After leaving the palace, Lin Xun was originally planning to return to his own palace, but he still couldn't escape and was arrested by the people sent by the old princess and taken to Shuiyunju.

Shuiyunju is the villa where the old princess lived. It has an elegant environment and the garden is full of plum blossoms. The blooming plum blossoms in winter are very beautiful.

It's just summer now, and the other flowers and plants in the yard are in full bloom. The old princess is trimming the branches of camellia under the eaves, and Nanny Song is talking to her.

"This morning, I went to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to see a lively scene..."

"This Marquis' Mansion is a century-old family after all. I don't know how it has become so insignificant now."

"It's just a pity for Miss Xiao, such a precious person, to end up in a family like that."

The old princess smiled and said, "I can see that you like that child very much."

Nanny Song has always been strict in the palace, and the maids under her are all very afraid of her. It is rare to hear her praise someone like this.

After hearing what the old princess said, Nanny Song looked a little shocked, but she recovered in a moment and said with a smile: "Today, I saw that child standing there alone, looking so pitiful. I couldn't help but think of the prince's childhood, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy..."

As he was speaking, he just happened to hear someone below him reply, "The prince is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man in a dark robe with dark patterns and gold thread came over. The mask he was wearing glowed coldly under the light.

The old princess couldn't help but feel distressed, but she deliberately said with a cold face: "You actually remembered to come back. I thought you had forgotten about this old immortal me."

Tianshu on the side tried to smooth things over, "Princess, calm down. The prince just arrived in Kyoto and was busy with government affairs, so he didn't come to see you. He has always been thinking about you."

The old princess's expression eased slightly, and then she asked again, "You were gone for so long this time, are you injured?"

This time, Lin Xun was ordered to quell the rebellion and made considerable contributions. For a time, many people in Kyoto were secretly discussing that no one in the court or the country could compare to the regent in terms of sharpness.

The old princess didn't care about the emperor's reward, she was only concerned about whether Lin Xun was injured.

Although they are grandparents and grandchildren, Lin Xun is not used to such intimacy. Fortunately, there is the eloquent Han Guang beside him, who tells him everything about Jingzhou.

Han Guang said seriously: "Don't worry, Princess. This time the prince was only supervising the troops at the front line and did not take any action. Besides, the subordinates are here, so how could they let the prince get hurt..."

Lin Xun was not injured while suppressing the rebellion on the battlefield, but was attacked by an assassin on his way back to Kyoto.

The old princess said nothing, but looked at the master and servant with clear eyes.

Lin Xun drank his tea without changing his expression, but Han Guang could hardly bear it anymore.

Fortunately, the old princess quickly withdrew her gaze, looked at Lin Xun's cold and emotionless face, and sighed imperceptibly.

He knew the boy's personality well. He was cold-blooded and even more unkind after what happened five years ago.

The old princess was really afraid that if she was gone one day, he would have no one to worry about in this world...

Suddenly, she looked at the scarlet petals on Lin Xun's shoulder that had come from nowhere, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Huai Zhang, isn't it time for you to get married?"

Lin Xun???

What’s going on with these two people today!

But a slender figure suddenly flashed through his mind, and the beautiful and hazy dream at night actually took on a concrete form...

The crabapple blossoms in the rain are the most likely to arouse the deepest desire for destruction in people.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xun ordered some cold water, which made Tianshu, who was on duty tonight, extremely puzzled.

My master's injuries haven't healed yet, why are you making such a fuss in the middle of the night!

The wound was on the waist and abdomen, one inch long, and the knife was coated with some kind of poison, but it didn't heal for half a month, which made the people under him very worried. But Lin Xun never cared about his own life and death. While his people were busy looking for an antidote, he was just messing around like nothing had happened.

The wound healed again. The smell of blood stimulated his mind, intertwining with the tender and charming dreams. A flash of red appeared in his narrow and deep eyes.

More like a demon!

Lin Xun thought almost in despair.

The candlelight flickered, and the man's face was reflected in the yellowed bronze mirror. The green lotus pattern spread over half of his face.

Green Lotus Karma Fire, Endless Hell.

He was clearly born as a son of Buddha and should have been compassionate and saved all living beings, but he chose to kill countless people and allowed himself to fall into depravity.

This is his karma!

The wound on his abdomen had split open again. Even with countless precious medicines, it couldn't heal. The tearing pain was addictive. His mind drifted away and landed on the crabapple tree on the table...

It seems that a trace of tenderness in the dream still remains.

……

That night, Xiao Xuetang also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
