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

The carriage of the Prince Regent was still parked in the alley not far from the Marquis's Mansion. Qi Yusheng and the others in the carriage were already getting impatient and asked Tianshu, "What is your prince doing? Why is he not coming out so late? Is he really going to raid the Marquis's Mansion?"

Tianshu said: "My prince is in a good mood today and will not fight or kill anyone."

Qi Yusheng was surprised and asked, "Could it be that there is some happy event in your palace?"

Tianshu kept the secret and said mysteriously, "Maybe the happy event is coming soon..."

With a "puff" sound, Qi Yusheng spat out a mouthful of tea.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what the happy event Tianshu was talking about!

Tianshu, who was Lin Xun's confidant, gossiped to Qi Yusheng in a low voice: "When I was cleaning the room a few days ago, I found a painting of a beauty hidden in the prince's study. It was in the Marquis' Mansion. It was painted the day after I saw Miss Xiao..."

Qi Yusheng!!!

"This is impossible!"

Qi Yusheng was shocked and subconsciously said, "Isn't Xiao Xuetang engaged to Lin Shaoshu?"

"More than ten years ago, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family was only five years old. She and Lin Shaoshu went to the palace banquet to pay their respects to the late emperor. The late emperor was drunk at the time and mistook the two people who were paying their respects for the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin. This became a good story for a while. Later, when the late emperor sobered up, he directly granted the two people a marriage. This marriage is still a strange story in Kyoto now."

At this point, Qi Yusheng lowered his voice and said, "And this marriage was granted by Emperor Huaimin."

Lin Xun was raised and taught by Emperor Huai Min himself. He always respected Emperor Huai Min, so how could he do something that went against his will...

"Although Lin Xun is hated by everyone now, when the teacher was alive, he said that Lin Xun is the gentleman who most resembles the late emperor."

Moreover, Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu have always had a good relationship, so even if Lin Xun wants to get married, he can't do things like bullying others or forcing others to do things.

……

"You don't like Lin Shaoshu."

Lin Xun hit the nail on the head...

How could he tell?

"You want to break off the engagement with him."

These two sentences instantly made Xiao Xuetang feel dizzy and he didn't have time to hide the expression on his face.

Xiao Xuetang's usually calm expression was tinged with a layer of anger, and she retorted, "Your Highness, everyone knows that the Third Prince and I have been childhood sweethearts, and we have a deep bond. Fortunately, the late emperor has granted us a marriage. But Your Highness and I... we have only met three times in total, including the past few days. What makes you so sure that I don't like him?"

After saying this, Xiao Xuetang regretted it...

She had heard that the Regent had an unpredictable personality and was ruthless. She had provoked him twice today...

Xiao Xuetang was really scared now, and even thought about where to bury his bones!

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun was not angry. Instead, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he corrected Xiao Xuetang, "More than three times."

If we include the time at Huguo Temple, this is the fifth time we have met.

"Besides, you're more interesting when you don't pretend."

Xiao Xuetang...

"When did I see you last?"

When Xiao Xuetang asked this question, he thought of the hazy dream, and felt inexplicably guilty and his heart tightened.

Lin Xun: “It’s not important.”

Xiao Xuetang said seriously: "This is very important!"

Lin Xun...

Xiao Xuetang suddenly met Lin Xun's gaze inadvertently.

A strange light flashed across those cold and deep eyes, like an animal that had captured its desired prey.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood all around.

It's over. He was used to playing and fighting with Qiyue and the others on weekdays, and apparently forgot that Lin Xun was not a good-tempered person.

However, surprisingly, Lin Xun's character was not as unkind as rumored. After a look that was hard to describe flashed across his eyes, he said, "Rather than asking when we met, I think you are more anxious to break off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu."

She looked at Lin Xun in disbelief.

The fact that she wanted to break off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu was unknown to everyone except Qiyue and Bihen, who were close to her, and even Xiao Yi.

But she and Lin Xun had only met a few times, how did he know that?

Xiao Xuetang looked at Lin Xun in astonishment and subconsciously asked the question in his mind.

"Miss Xiao has known about the affair between Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin for a long time, but she kept it to herself. She exposed it in front of everyone today, isn't it just to pave the way for breaking off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu in the future..."

"It's a good plan, but it's too slow. I can help you get what you want!"

"After all, this marriage was granted by the late emperor. Even Lin Shaoshu didn't have the courage to break off the marriage. But I, the king, can help you."

This condition is so tempting!

If she could break off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu, at least she would have solved a big problem...

At least without the constraints of an engagement, Xiao Xuetang thought she could handle her relationship with Lin Shaoshu more calmly.

but……

There is no free lunch in the world!

Xiao Xuetang understood this very well, and soon calmed down. He looked at Lin Xun and said, "Your Highness and I have never met before. Why would Your Highness help me? Besides, this is a private matter between Lin Shaoshu and me. Your Highness... doesn't seem to be in a position to interfere."

Xiao Xuetang knew that someone in a high position like Lin Xun would not do this for no reason.

But she didn't have what Lin Xun was after, unless...

Just as a thought flashed through Xiao Xuetang's mind, he suddenly saw Lin Xun's body sway and fall directly to the ground.

Xiao Xuetang was stunned and blurted out: "I didn't do anything to you!"

Lin Xun...

Soon, Xiao Xuetang discovered something was wrong. She felt a sticky sensation on her palms. It was the blood from Lin Xun's body!

The faint smell of blood in the air just now was not an illusion.

If something happened to the Regent in the Xiao family, it would be a big trouble. Normally, Xiao Xuetang should have notified Xiao Yi in time to rescue him.

but……

Just now, Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun heard Xiao Yi and Wang Xiang's shameful plotting behind the rockery. If they handed Lin Xun over at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to sending Lin Xun to his death?

Xiao Xuetang sighed and resigned herself to taking out the bleeding medicine from her purse...

The waist area was soaked with the most blood, probably because it was torn when he jumped down the secret passage holding Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang said: "I didn't mean to take advantage of you."

The men did not stop their actions and directly pulled off Lin Xun's outer robe, only to see that the white inner garment was soaked with blood.

It was shocking to watch, but this person seemed to have no sense of pain and was able to talk to him for such a long time without changing his expression.

Thinking that the wound on Lin Xun's body was torn in half because of him, Xiao Xuetang poured out the hemostatic medicine without any hesitation. After the hemostatic medicine stopped the bleeding, Xiao Xuetang soon found that there was something wrong with Lin Xun's wound...

This injury is exactly the same as my uncle's back then!

In his previous life, Xie Xuehe, the third master of the Xie family, was ordered to go to Southern Xinjiang to negotiate peace, but he was poisoned by the Saint of Southern Xinjiang and died.

The poison is called Blood Dryness, which will prevent wounds from healing and eventually lead to death from excessive blood loss.

At that time, due to Lin Shaoshu's suspicion, the delegation had a very difficult time traveling, and Xie Xuehe did not get enough medicinal herbs to detoxify. When he returned to Kyoto with one last breath, it was too late to save him.

Yes, there is the life of her third uncle between her and Lin Shaoshu, how can she be soft-hearted towards Lin Shaoshu!

In her previous life, Xiao Xuetang was weak and alone and could not avenge her third uncle. In this life, she must prevent her third uncle from provoking the Saint of Southern Xinjiang.

The injuries on Lin Shaoshu's body were the same as those of his third uncle back then, but Lin Shaoshu had strong internal strength and his wounds were treated in time, so they were not that bad.

Xiao Xuetang's face froze. To confirm, she took a little blood and tasted it...

The next moment, she suddenly felt a gaze locking onto her. Lin Xun had woken up at some point and was looking at her meaningfully!
