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

At that time, Wuzong had murderous intentions towards the Tianji Palace, but he was targeting King Tianji and his descendants.

King Tianji used self-immolation to attract the attention of the Qinglian Guards, buy a way out for the princess, and escape from the palace.

After many twists and turns, the princess went to Southern Xinjiang and married the then high priest of Southern Xinjiang...

Princess Tianji passed away many years ago, and no one knows why she did not follow King Tianji's arrangement to seek help from the old princess, but instead went to southern Xinjiang.

The princess gave birth to a son with the former high priest of Southern Xinjiang, but the son was lost in the war and adopted by the Mu Palace, named Mu Xingyun.

When Mu Xingyun came to Kyoto with the old King Mu, perhaps it was the special attraction of blood that made him and Lin Xun hit it off at first sight and became close friends.

It was not until later that they learned about each other's life stories and became enemies!

It was not what the outside world had speculated. It was because when they sent troops to Kyoto, Mu Xingyun was unwilling to help, and the two of them turned against each other...

"After all, I am sorry for you for getting you involved in this incident."

Lin Xun's self-blaming voice brought Xiao Xuetang back to reality. The regent, who had always been high and mighty, lowered his proud head in front of her and said cautiously, "If I hadn't let him go at that time, or if I had confessed earlier, maybe your mother wouldn't have died."

Xiao Xuetang knew in her heart that even if it wasn't because of Lin Xun, Foshu would not let her go, nor would he let anyone around her go.

but……

Xiao Xuetang stared into Lin Xun's eyes and suddenly asked, "My mother died because of his scheme. I will kill him myself. Your Majesty, which side will you stand on then?"

She looked at Lin Xun with eyes as sharp as a knife. It seemed that she was pointing the knife at Lin Xun, but it seemed that she was analyzing herself!

In her dreams and in reality, she has become accustomed to becoming desperate while waiting for choices again and again, and has also become accustomed to being the one who is abandoned.

If it was Lin Xun, he...

"Of course it's you!"

Lin Xun didn't hesitate this time, and blurted out the words, which made the two of them look stunned...

Xiao Xuetang felt her heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.

Lin Xun's ears felt a little hot, but he still looked at Xiao Xuetang seriously and said, "No one in this world is more important than you."

No one is more important than you...

More like a promise.

Xiao Xuetang's heart seemed to have been pulled out of hell and then suddenly back to the clouds, making her feel a little dizzy.

He sat there, the oil lamp behind him flickering with a hazy color, a faint halo enveloped him, and he felt dizzy for a moment.

She seemed to have caught the light of her life...

At the door, the old princess held Nanny Song's hand and listened for a long time, her eyes also reddened.

"Old Princess, it seems that the prince really likes Miss Xiao. You can rest assured with her around."

Nanny Song quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

The old princess nodded with relief and said, "Back then, I was ultimately the one who let them down, but the one who suffered the most... was the child."

She knew that Shiying had a crush on a man, but Ziqi liked her too much...

At that time, Ziqi was seriously injured and narrowly escaped death, and the only person he was thinking about was Shiying.

So, for Ziqi's sake, she selfishly separated Shiying and her lover, and used tough measures to force the Ji family to marry her into the palace.

Shiying hated her, and the old princess knew it, so after the incident in the palace, Shiying did not look for her, but...

What happened back then was all her fault, but the old princess never expected that the retribution would fall on Lin Xun.

Thinking of the past, the old princess's brows were filled with unresolved depression, but...

She turned around and looked at the two figures reflected on the window. The old princess's frown relaxed a little and she said, "Let's go and let them be alone for a while."

The old princess was about to leave with Nanny Song's hand when Tianshu ran over and asked in surprise, "Princess, Nanny Song, what are you doing standing here?"

The old princess was unable to stop him. She was shocked by Tianshu's shout. She looked at the two figures hurriedly separating in the room and glared at Tianshu: "You are so flustered! How can you behave so badly!"

Tianshu...

He felt wronged, but dared not speak out.

"It's Eunuch Jiang who has come to deliver the imperial decree granting the marriage..."

"A marriage of convenience?!"

Xiao Xuetang looked at Lin Xun in astonishment. How long had she been unconscious?

Facing the pair of clear and sharp eyes, even the usually calm Lin Xun had a slightly frightened expression on his face. He said, "This is a long story. The situation in Kyoto has been changing a lot in the past few days. I'll let Tianshu explain it in detail later."

"As for the marriage... don't worry. Lord Xie has already come to Kyoto, and Old Master Xie also knows about it."

Eunuch Jiang was waiting for the imperial edict to be announced, but Lin Xun still explained it quickly, which was like giving Xiao Xuetang a reassurance.

He knew that Xiao Xuetang had a strong character, but she was suddenly faced with a big change. She must be at a loss as to what to do with such an imperial decree granting marriage, and she had to explain herself clearly.

……

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Old Princess!"

Jiang Yinghe said with a smile.

Lin Xun took the imperial decree granting marriage. He was usually very capable, but at this moment he felt a little overwhelmed.

Originally he wanted to proceed step by step, but Nanjiang was ambitious and Mu Xingyun was eyeing him covetously, so in the end he had to resort to the step of arranging a marriage.

The old princess looked at the imperial edict granting the marriage and glanced at Lin Xun in surprise. She didn't expect Lin Xun to ask for the imperial edict so quickly.

In just a moment, the old princess quickly concealed the complexity in her eyes, and smiled and said, "It's so late, and you still let the eunuch make this trip in person. Eunuch Jiang, please sit down and have some tea."

Jiang Yinghe also respected the old princess very much. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Princess, you are too kind. The emperor respects you and values ​​the prince. Let alone one trip, it would not be a big deal for us to make a few more trips. And..."

Then he thought of something, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Since Xie has just passed away, according to the rules, Miss Xiao must get married within the warm mourning period, otherwise she will have to wait for three years. The old princess and the prince should prepare early to avoid any changes."

After saying this, Jiang Yinghe bowed and said, "I have already passed on the decree. I will take my leave now, old princess."

Without waiting for the old princess to ask him to stay, Jiang Yinghe flicked his whisk and was about to leave. Lin Xun said, "I will see Eunuch Jiang off."

Jiang Yinghe saw that Lin Xun clearly had something to say to him, so he did not refuse.

After leaving the main courtyard, Lin Xun asked Jiang Yinghe: "Eunuch Jiang, is there any movement in the palace again?"

It would have been better if Lin Xun didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Jiang Yinghe sighed and said, "My Lord, you have caused a lot of trouble because of this imperial decree granting marriage..."

Something happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and rumors were rampant in Kyoto that Xiao Xuetang was a disaster star, especially since she had been in a coma.

Emperor Yonghui was strongly opposed to this marriage at the beginning!

However, no one expected that Lin Xun would be so persistent, even... at the cost of bringing up the late emperor.

"It's fine for the queen, but the one in Jiashou Palace can't sit still either."

This eunuch who had served in the palace for decades had already keenly sensed the coming bloody storm...
