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

In the past, Emperor Yonghui felt that the crown prince was his first child. Even though he did not have much affection for Queen Wang and her husband, since he had been named the crown prince, and considering the affection between father and son, he would not easily depose the crown prince as long as the crown prince did not do anything particularly unusual.

However, the prince's affairs with women had always been criticized by court officials, which gave Emperor Yonghui a headache. What made Emperor Yonghui even more surprised was that just last month, a murder occurred in the Eastern Palace, killing several palace maids.

They were all carried down from the prince's couch...

Emperor Yonghui was a very benevolent emperor. During his reign, the people were able to recuperate and even the number of death row prisoners was very small.

But this time the prince's behavior did violate Emperor Yonghui's bottom line.

The next day, he was in a bad mood, so he went out of Wenyuan Pavilion and Queen Wang used Concubine Xie's past to stir up trouble. Even if Emperor Yonghui was a stubborn person, he could no longer tolerate it.

Just at this time, Lin Xun proposed to revive the Xie family.

Lin Xun has always been a man who speaks his mind. He bluntly talks about reviving the Xie family and using the third prince to suppress the Eastern Palace.

In fact, when it comes to the art of imperial balance, Emperor Yonghui was far less adept than Lin Xun.

If it weren't for that incident, if it weren't for the twists and turns of fate, he would rather be an idle prince in this life, and be a prince who lives in harmony with his princess forever. How wonderful it would be.

Instead of being alone in the position of the Son of Heaven, living in a daze and not knowing where to end up...

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghui looked at Lin Xun with regret.

If it weren't for the poison, Lin Xun would be more suitable to sit in this position. What a pity...

Perhaps because of the habit he developed during the early morning court sessions over the years, Emperor Yonghui habitually listened to the court officials discussing state affairs while his mind was filled with wild and divergent thoughts about other things.

For example, I wonder if the glass peony in the imperial garden has bloomed, what will be served in the imperial kitchen today, whether the feather dance in the opera garden has been arranged recently, etc...

So the discussion here was originally about Lin Xun's illness, but as Emperor Yonghui listened he thought of the Xie family, Concubine Xie, the succession to the throne and five years ago.

Five years ago, Emperor Yonghui witnessed Emperor Ai die on the dragon throne. Although the two were cousins ​​and had no feelings for each other, the sight of Emperor Ai wearing a dragon robe and covered in blood frightened him greatly.

Emperor Yonghui even felt that in terms of talent, he might not be a better emperor than Emperor Ai.

In such a chaotic situation, the person who has the ability to turn the tide is Lin Xun, but Lin Xun...

At this time Lin Xun did not let Xiao Xuetang kneel, so Xiao Xuetang stood there, staring at Emperor Yonghui's expression which changed several times in a short time, and her mood also went up and down.

Lin Xun knew about Emperor Yonghui's little-known quirk, so he remained calm, asked Xiao Xuetang to sit down and talk, and asked Tianshu to pour tea.

Tianshu was always efficient and in just a few moments he had served not only tea but also several plates of exquisite snacks.

Lu Zizhen was flattered!

He had come to the Prince Regent's Mansion so many times, and he was always nervous. Not to mention snacks, he hadn't even had a cup of tea. This time, it was all thanks to Miss Xiao. Now it seems that the Prince Regent and Miss Xiao have a special relationship. If Xie Xuehe knew about this...

Lu Zizhen shuddered and silently took a piece of dessert to eat.

Xiao Xuetang was originally worried that the Emperor Yonghui would punish the Xie family for the book collection, and she was worried, but the snacks made her hungry again. Seeing that Lu Zizhen had eaten, she quietly took a piece of osmanthus cake. Who knew that at this moment, the Emperor Yonghui looked at her with a gleam in his eyes...

Xiao Xuetang held half a piece of dessert in her hand, but she couldn't eat it or spit it out!

"If you can cure the Regent, you will be a great contributor to Dayin, and I will approve your request."

Xiao Xuetang???

What happened between him and Lin Xun.

Also, what exactly is wrong with Lin Xun? She only half understands what he is saying...

Xiao Xuetang was full of doubts at this time, but with a dry snack in his mouth, he couldn't ask.

As if he had sensed something, Lin Xun lowered his eyes, just in time to meet Xiao Xuetang's eager gaze, and handed Xiao Xuetang a cup of tea first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuetang took the tea and thanked him subconsciously. The little girl looked very well behaved, and there was no sign that she had actually knocked down the dreaded Regent half an hour ago.

Lin Xun's expression remained calm as always, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Emperor Yonghui always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed like it was impossible for a third person to fit in...

Emperor Yonghui's eyelids twitched!

Just before he opened his mouth, Lin Xun spoke in a calm voice: "It's the Azure Lotus Karma Fire."

As his cold voice fell, the originally subtle atmosphere in the room suddenly sank, and Xiao Xuetang took a breath of cold air.

Almost screamed out loud...

Green Lotus Karma Fire? How could it be Green Lotus Karma Fire!

No wonder she couldn't see anything unusual in Lin Xun's pulse. It turned out to be the Green Lotus Karma Fire, the most poisonous substance used by the previous dynasty to control the Green Lotus Guards!

It is rumored that the emperor of the previous dynasty wanted to create an invincible and emotionless army, which would become a ruthless killing weapon in the hands of the emperor.

In order to make the desired poison, the emperor of the previous dynasty ordered people to capture many civilians near the palace to test the poison and turned them into medicine men.

But the success was in vain.

Later, because the emperor acted absurdly, killed loyal and good people, and took human lives lightly, he aroused the anger of the people all over the world.

The rebels directly attacked Kyoto, burned the furnace used by the emperor to make medicine, killed the sorcerers who made medicine, and burned down the entire palace.

But some records and clues were left behind.

In the previous dynasty, when Xiao Xuetang had not lost power in the harem, she had some conveniences and could see some secret records in the royal library...

That's why Xiao Xuetang knew that the Green Lotus Karma Fire was neither a poison nor a curse. Except when it was flaring up, its pulse would be no different from that of an ordinary person at other times.

Once poisoned, the victim will be unrecognizable, and the heart-burning pain during the attack will make the person worse than death, until eventually he will become a demented beast who will not recognize his relatives!

But Lin Xun didn't look like he was poisoned at all...

No, his face!

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang looked at the strange and beautiful patterns on half of Lin Xun's face. In a moment, she seemed to understand everything.

No wonder Lin Xun had to wear a mask all the time. It was not because his face was disfigured as rumored, but because he wanted to cover up the truth that he was poisoned.

Who poisoned Lin Xun?

rumor……

The real Green Lotus Poison had long been burned, and only one remained in the world, in the hands of the Lin royal family!

Xiao Xuetang looked at Lin Xun's face, which was a masterpiece of nature, handsome and flawless - although in Xiao Xuetang's opinion, the pattern on that half of his face was more beautiful, making him look more mysterious and elegant.

Thinking of the records in the book about the unbearable pain both mentally and physically endured by those poisoned by the Green Lotus Karma Fire, Xiao Xuetang felt as if his heart was being tugged by something.

Lin Xun worked hard to save Dayin, quell civil unrest, stabilize the country, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but he...

This is not what Lin Xun should have to endure!

Suddenly, with an inexplicable anger, he glared at Emperor Yonghui...

Meeting the girl's black and white eyes, which were filled with obvious accusations and anger, Emperor Yonghui's eyes flashed, and he looked away for some reason feeling guilty.

The late emperor said that Lin Xun took the poison voluntarily, but in the heart of Emperor Yonghui, he and the late emperor had an unshirkable responsibility for Lin Xun's poisoning.

then……
