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

Ten years ago, Lin Xun was only fifteen years old.

At that time, the late emperor succeeded to the throne and took over this already precarious country from Emperor Wuzong.

At that time, there were eunuchs causing chaos inside and barbarians eyeing the country covetously outside. Under internal and external troubles, the imperial power was weakened and the world was about to collapse.

However, Dayin has always valued civil officials over military officials, and this problem has accumulated over a long period of time, so the court has no generals who can be used.

Lin Xun was well-versed in military strategies. At that time, there was a lack of good generals in the court and various forces were arguing endlessly. Lin Xun took the initiative to volunteer to go to the battlefield.

At that time, Lin Xun was only a 15-year-old boy. The Northern Desert Army was coming in full force. Even if Lin Xun was a genius, if he rashly went to the battle, it would mean a life or death...

In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, the late emperor had no choice but to let Lin Xun take the Azure Lotus Fire. It was the purest Azure Lotus Fire poison handed down from the royal family, which could improve a person's combat effectiveness in a very short period of time and allow even the most serious injuries to be healed.

The late emperor did not want Lin Xun to die on the battlefield, so using this method could increase the possibility of Lin Xun coming back alive.

The late emperor even said that if Lin Xun returned after pacifying the rebellion, he would appoint Lin Xun as his heir if he had no son...

The late emperor did intend to appoint Lin Xun as the crown prince.

But that battle lasted longer than anyone imagined, and it lasted for three full years!

The late emperor received news that the rebellion in Mobei had been quelled. However, before Lin Xun could return to the capital, Wang Shoucheng and others launched the Ganlu Rebellion, and the late emperor was killed by the eunuchs.

Wang Shoucheng and others were ambitious and arbitrarily supported an unlucky prince from the royal family, Emperor Ai, to ascend the throne.

As the younger brother of the previous emperor, he did not have a good time during the years when Emperor Ai was in power. Fortunately, the Wang and Xie families helped him in the court, and he was able to barely survive those two years.

Emperor Yonghui didn't dare to think about the days of trembling with fear and treading on thin ice...

Fortunately, Lin Xun is here.

The Tian Ce Army under Lin Xun's command was invincible and directly controlled the entire Mobei. Emperor Ai's succession to the throne was not legitimate to begin with, but with Lin Xun's internal and external support, the court that had lost power was finally put in order!

When Lin Xun led his men into Kyoto, Lin Jingyou, who had been imprisoned by Emperor Ai for half a year, was always on edge and almost cried with joy...

but……

When Eunuch Zhao, who was beside the late emperor, and ministers headed by Grand Tutor Xie and Wang Xian read out the late emperor's secret decree for him to succeed to the throne, Lin Jingyou felt more surprised than delighted.

Before the expedition, my brother had clearly said that he wanted to confer the title of Duke of Lin Xun...

Emperor Huaimin left no offspring. According to bloodline, he was indeed the most suitable candidate for succession, but in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Lin Xun.

Lin Jingyou refused to inherit the throne.

The first is the lack of confidence in one’s own abilities.

Even though the eunuch party has been eliminated, the Dayin regime has been plagued by long-standing problems. Even his royal brother couldn't do it. How could he, a lazy and idle prince who didn't care about worldly matters, have the confidence to stabilize the situation and bring peace and prosperity to the world?

Second, he was afraid of Lin Xun...

After he declined three times, it was Lin Xun who finally overruled everyone and directly supported him to sit on the throne of the emperor.

The day he ascended the throne was the first time that the king and his subject met each other openly.

When Lin Xun took off his mask, revealing a face covered with strange vines, Emperor Yonghui finally realized that everything could never go back to the past!

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he appointed Lin Xun as regent, who was on par with the emperor.

Even though Lin Xun could not legitimately inherit the throne, he still held power and was as powerful as the Dark Emperor of Dayin.

Brother Huang, maybe this is what you want to see?

……

Emperor Yonghui had mixed feelings when thinking about the past, but he was a little surprised to see Xiao Xuetang defending Lin Xun.

Over the years, he actually deliberately avoided anything related to Concubine Xie, and even deliberately kept a distance from Lin Shaoshu.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang and Concubine Xie were the closest. When they were in love, Concubine Xie kept saying how nice it would be if she gave birth to a daughter...

Later, Xiao Xuetang was born.

This child combined the advantages of the Xiao and Xie families. She was born with a delicate and beautiful figure. Even in the royal family, there was no child prettier than her. The grudges between the adults did not involve the child. At that time, no one in the palace or outside the palace disliked the little daughter of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

In Emperor Yonghui's memory, Xiao Xuetang had a lively personality and with the protection of Concubine Xie, she seemed to be fearless.

After he ascended the throne, he was busy dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty. In addition, Xiao Xuetang had always been in the backyard of the marquis' mansion and seldom entered the palace. He had seen her from afar a few times at palace banquets. Standing among the noble ladies, Xiao Xuetang was respectful and gentle. She no longer had the spirit of her youth, so Emperor Yonghui no longer paid much attention to her.

But Emperor Yonghui did not expect that Xiao Xuetang, who had always been cautious, would go against him in order to protect Lin Xun.

His face darkened as he asked, "Xiao Xuetang, are you suspecting me and poisoning the Regent?"

Xiao Xuetang finally reacted at this moment and quickly knelt down to apologize!

No matter how mild-tempered Emperor Yonghui was, he was still the emperor who held the power of life and death. At that moment just now, Xiao Xuetang actually mistook the Emperor Yonghui in front of him for the former Prince Lin.

In Xiao Xuetang's memory, Prince Lin was a very gentle man who was very close to her and did not have the airs of a prince at all.

At that time in the Prince Lin's Mansion, he and Concubine Xie were a loving couple. Although there were two concubines, Wang and Zheng, before Prince Lin got married, they were taken in before Concubine Xie entered the mansion, and they got along very harmoniously.

Until later, Concubine Xie was suddenly deposed, the Lin Prince's Mansion and the Xie family fell out, Xiao Xuetang was also detained and not allowed to go to the palace to play, and she gradually became estranged from the Lin Prince in her memory.

When they met again later, they only saw each other from afar several times at palace banquets. By that time, the approachable Prince Lin had already become the almighty Emperor Yonghui.

After she became an adult, she had learned how to read people's faces in the Marquis' Mansion and was very cautious in front of Emperor Yonghui. However, she did not expect...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to question your opinion. I just... just..."

Xiao Xuetang was a smart and eloquent person, but at this moment he was stuck.

She herself couldn't understand why she felt so sorry for Lin Xun just now and why she felt so angry towards Emperor Yonghui.

Maybe it’s because Lin Xun helped her?

But Emperor Yonghui insisted that she explain the reason, and deliberately asked: "Just what?"

Xiao Xuetang was in a state of confusion, and said gloomily, "Just now, I was also bewildered by the devil. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

This answer is not what Emperor Yonghui wants!

"Your Majesty, she is young, please don't tease her."

Lin Xun spoke calmly.

Emperor Yonghui sighed in his heart, "You're protecting me so soon?"

When he was a prince, Prince Lin's reputation as a romantic man was well-known throughout Kyoto. He could see that Lin Xun obviously had feelings for Xiao Xuetang.

But from Xiao Xuetang's reaction, Emperor Yonghui couldn't tell what she thought of Lin Xun for a moment.

After all, Xiao Xuetang just broke off the engagement...

Moreover, it was his son’s marriage that was called off!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghui felt that the excitement was not so interesting anymore.

……

At the same time, after Lin Shaoshu left the court, he went straight to a villa.

Then I saw a man in the garden, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with a calm temperament, staring at a tiger-striped cat on the roof...
