After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 182 Lure the snake out of its hole
Xiao Xuetang felt her scalp tingling under Lin Xun's sharp gaze, and she looked around and said something else: "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong with you today. Is there something wrong with the court?"
Lin Xun paused while pouring the tea and asked very patiently, "Why do you say that?"
"Before, you were the only one who tried to trick me. No matter what I asked you, you were always mysterious... No, you always looked like you didn't want to talk to me. Why do you just answer whatever I asked you today?"
It was so good that Xiao Xuetang was a little scared.
Lin Xun looked at Xiao Xuetang expressionlessly and said, "This king knows you too well."
He looks timid, but he is very curious. Once his curiosity is aroused, there is nothing he dare not do.
"Once you heard about the Southern Xinjiang incident, you would definitely inquire about it from all sides. Of course, I didn't expect you to find Mu Han."
"I am deeply involved in the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. Rather than letting you hear about it from other people, it is better for me to tell you in person."
Xiao Xuetang was a little embarrassed by what Lin Xun said, and said: "I... do I have it?"
She indeed planned to do so!
"Ah."
Lin Xun sneered and nonchalantly played with the teacup in his hand. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through Xiao Xuetang and asked, "I wanted to ask you last night, how did you know Foshu's identity, and... you seem to care about him a lot."
After the last sentence was spoken, Xiao Xuetang felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
Xiao Xuetang cursed under her breath, isn't she just digging a hole for herself?
Xiao Xuetang took a deep breath in her heart, and under Lin Xun's deep gaze, she stammered to finish her words...
"It was also by chance that I met him several times in the Huguo Temple. He did not use a pseudonym at the time, probably because he thought that I, a weak woman, would not have heard of his great name as the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang."
"But my third uncle mentioned some of the situation in Southern Xinjiang when he was in Kyoto. Although it has been many years, I still remembered the name of the high priest of Southern Xinjiang and told you as soon as possible."
After saying this, Xiao Xuetang almost applauded himself for his quick-witted eloquence!
"Is it?"
Lin Xun looked at Xiao Xuetang deeply, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a somewhat cold smile: "Xiao Xuetang, has anyone ever told you that you like to pull your belt when you lie?"
His cold eyes turned to Xiao Xuetang's light green feather gauze skirt which was wrinkled at the knees.
Xiao Xuetang...
"So the person you are looking for is not Foshu, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that he couldn't fool Lin Xun, Xiao Xuetang simply played dumb and changed the subject abruptly.
This reminded Lin Xun of the snow ferret he raised in Mobei. After doing something bad, the ferret looked at him with such innocent eyes, trying to cover up its past.
Lin Xun shook his head helplessly in his heart, but he still followed Xiao Xuetang's words and said lightly: "It's not him."
Xiao Xuetang thought about it carefully and realized that indeed, judging from the age, Foshu did not match.
"That person is from Dayin, at least on the surface."
Xiao Xuetang was surprised and said, "You mean to say that someone has been colluding with Southern Xinjiang, and it started more than 20 years ago."
Lin Xun said, "Five years ago, Wang Shoucheng was shot dead by me, and the eunuchs in Kyoto were slaughtered. Everything was almost over. But Mu Han's ring made me realize that things are far from that simple. Someone is still alive, hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to lure the wolf into the house."
Since more than 20 years ago...
Xiao Xuetang felt a chill down his spine and asked, "Why did he do this? Was it out of hatred? Or, for... the throne?"
Lin Xun said: "It is precisely because the other party's purpose is unclear that he has been hiding so deeply over the years. Having no desires and no demands has become the best barrier to hide his true face."
However, Lin Xun still said: "But one thing is certain, he has a grudge against the Lin royal family. He wants the Lin royal family to kill each other and the entire Dayin to be torn apart."
At this moment, Xiao Xuetang seemed to have thought of something and shuddered...
She thought, if that person is still alive and has never been discovered by Lin Xun in the previous life, then could the prince's coup have anything to do with her?
The fate of brothers killing each other and fighting within the same family has continued from the time of Emperor Wuzong to their time!
In the previous life, when the East Palace coup took place and Lin Shaoshu seized power, were they also being manipulated as pawns?
Lin Xun was very observant and could tell at a glance that Xiao Xuetang looked unusually unhappy. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xuetang was silent for a while before he said, "You said, since the other party's goal is to disturb the peace of the royal family, is he right under our noses now?"
"He is with Lin Shaoshu, or someone close to Donggong."
Lin Xun didn't say anything, but there was a hint of appreciation in the look he gave Xiao Xuetang!
Just from this little clue, Xiao Xuetang was able to figure out the situation in the court. He is indeed the child taught by Old Tutor Xie!
Thinking of the past life, Xiao Xuetang felt uneasy and asked Lin Xun, "My Lord, you can definitely find that person, right?"
At the same time, he promised: "I will definitely ask my brother to help, lend a hand to the prince, and help you investigate the spies in southern Xinjiang."
Lin Xun looked at Xiao Xuetang deeply and said, "I thought you would volunteer to come and help me personally."
Who would have thought that she would sell Xiao Yu out completely.
Xiao Xuetang smiled awkwardly and said, "I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid I can't be of much help."
Lin Xun raised his lips slightly and said, "Miss Xiao, you are being modest. Do you still remember that you vowed a few months ago that you could become my advisor?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Xiao Xuetang's eyes, and he asked, "Is there?!"
Sometimes the habit of talking nonsense is not a good thing. Sometimes you forget what you said, but the other person happens to have an incredibly good memory, which makes the conversation very awkward.
Lin Xun looked at Xiao Xuetang deeply.
Xiao Xuetang had no choice but to touch his nose and admit defeat, "If Your Majesty needs us, we two brothers and sisters are at your disposal."
Xiao Xuetang has always been afraid of trouble, but now Xiao Xuetang knows that Lin Shaoshu is in collusion with Southern Xinjiang, and there is such a cancer lurking in Kyoto, and it is impossible for her to stay out of it.
What's more, even if she wanted to leave at this time, she was once engaged to Lin Shaoshu, and had a complicated relationship with the Xie family.
That person will never let her go!
Rather than being manipulated by others, it is better to face the challenges head on...
At this moment, Xiao Xuetang had already made up his mind!
She said to Lin Xun: "Your Majesty, since the other party is so cunning, why don't we lure the snake out of its hole..."
Lin Xun looked at the person who was eager to cause chaos in the world, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "How to lure the snake out of its hole."
Xiao Xuetang mentioned a person's name——
Mrs. Nan!
