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

At dusk, the light in the cave was dim. The girl was wearing a red dress with a red plum blossom painted on her forehead. She had a beautiful face.

The man's clothes were half-removed, and he was wearing a mask so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his slender figure was excellent...

At this moment, the girl's white jade-like hands were supporting the man's chest, with a drop of blood on her fingertips and placed on her red lips. Just looking at her movements, it looked like she was tasting something.

After being discovered, her eyes were as innocent as a deer's, with an indescribable seductiveness, like a banshee...

"The prince is not what you see. Let me explain!"

Xiao Xuetang blurted out.

Lin Xun covered his clothes, propped himself up and took a step back silently, as if he had seen some bewitching monster.

Xiao Xuetang...

No, are you serious about your fear that I'll take advantage of you?

Perhaps the question in her eyes was too obvious, Lin Xun lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, "It's okay if you like it."

Xiao Xuetang???

What a mess!

"Your Majesty, your wound has been bandaged..."

Lin Xun covered his clothes, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Seeing that he was nonchalant and didn't care about his injuries at all, Xiao Xuetang's expression flashed with a hint of indescribable sadness, and reminded him: "Your Majesty, the wound on your body doesn't look like an ordinary knife wound, but poisoning."

"Oh."

Xiao Xuetang...

Lin Xun's attitude was so cold that I didn't know how to continue the conversation that day.

No wonder, in his previous life, when Lin Shaoshu ascended the throne, he had three palaces and six courtyards, but Lin Xun didn’t even have a concubine. He is so cold, it’s strange that any girl likes him!

This thought just flashed through his mind. Xiao Xuetang collected his thoughts, looked at Lin Xun seriously, and continued, "Your Highness, don't you want to ask how I figured it out?"

"You saved the old princess with acupuncture at the Huguo Temple that day, so you know medical skills."

Xiao Xuetang...

"My Lord, the poison you have been poisoned with can only be cured by me!"

He couldn't understand Lin Xun's roundabout way of talking, so Xiao Xuetang simply opened the topic directly...

"The poison that the prince was poisoned with is extremely vicious. Although you have deep internal strength and the palace doctor has used a magic medicine to temporarily stop the wound, if you don't detoxify in time, you will be in danger of exhausting your blood and energy and dying. I can detoxify, but the prince must promise me..."

Xiao Xuetang originally held up one finger, but seeing that Lin Xun's expression was not very fierce and even had an overly gentle look in the evening light, he held up three fingers: "Three conditions!"

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, but it was not annoying. She had a kind of innocent and cute look that she was not aware of.

This reminded Lin Xun of the snow-white cat he once raised...

His expression softened, and he said, "Before you saved the old princess, I told you to make conditions, but you avoided them and wanted to draw a clear line with the palace. Now, why did you change your mind?"

Xiao Xuetang didn't expect that Lin Xun could see her intention to avoid him, and she was a little shocked...

This man has such great insight!

Even Xiao Xuetang didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to be involved with such a man.

But now that things have come to this, there seems to be no better option.

After all, from the conversation between Xiao Yi and Wang Xiang that she just overheard, she could tell that the secret of the Marquis' Mansion was more far-reaching than she had imagined. She had to grab a big supporter before Xiao Yi became suspicious of her!

Who could be more suitable than Lin Xun?

Xiao Xuetang felt guilty for a brief moment under Lin Xun's half-smiley gaze, but soon recovered and said confidently: "I know the current situation."

Lin Xun...

Lin Xun felt helpless and asked Xiao Xuetang: "What are the three conditions for breaking off the engagement?"

Xiao Xuetang...

Why does it feel like Lin Xun is more anxious about breaking off the engagement than she is?

But when meeting Lin Xun's calm eyes, Xiao Xuetang felt that it must be his illusion.

Finally, Xiao Xuetang nodded slightly.

It's not that she doesn't want help from the outside world regarding breaking off the engagement, but she just doesn't like the feeling of being led by the nose and having her fate controlled by others.

But now it’s different…

Lin Xun was poisoned by the strange blood-drying poison. No one in Kyoto could cure this poison except her.

This is not being controlled by others, this is a transaction.

Lin Xun looked at the girl's sparkling eyes, which were completely different from the suspicion and uneasiness just now. His eyes moved slightly, and finally nodded slightly...

"make a deal!"

Seeing that Lin Shaoshu agreed, Xiao Xuetang finally let go of her worries and smiled, with dimples faintly visible on her cheeks.

At this moment, she had a bit of innocence that was in line with her age...

……

At this time, Ye Jin had already taken the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped his face, and simply tidied up his appearance.

In just half a minute, Ye Jin had regained her former pretty and charming appearance and stood in front of Lin Shaoshu.

However, when Lin Shaoshu looked at the pretty Ye Jin in front of him, he no longer felt the same heartbeat as before. Thinking that Ye Jin's deception and Xiao Xuetang's cold attitude were all caused by her, he, who was always gentle, now had cold eyes.

Before he could speak, Ye Jin said, "Jin'er knows that the Third Prince is blaming you and Sister Xuetang for being alienated by Jin'er's existence, but things are not as you think..."

"Sister suddenly ignored His Highness, not because of Jin'er, but because..."

"Regent!"

Lin Shaoshu was about to leave in anger, but when he heard Ye Jin's words, he suddenly paused and asked, "What does this have to do with the emperor's uncle?"

Ye Jin stared at Lin Shaoshu quietly, a sly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Your Highness, haven't you noticed that the Regent treats your sister very differently..."

Lin Shaoshu's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered the day when he came to the Marquis' Mansion to see Xiao Xuetang...

Under the crabapple blossoms, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but there was no longer any trace of him in her eyes.

Coincidentally, I met Lin Xun in the backyard that day.

Is it really a coincidence?

Lin Shaoshu's expression was calm, but his heart was already surging with suspicion...

Ye Jin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then lowered his eyes, pretending to be well-behaved and said, "The always cold Regent came to the Marquis' Mansion several times for my sister. Jin'er had been back home for only half a month, but he also caught them having a secret meeting in the back garden..."

After the words fell, Lin Shaoshu, who had been expressionless, had a flash of anger in his eyes. He actually grabbed Ye Jin's neck and said, "The emperor's uncle came to the Marquis' Mansion for official business. What does it have to do with Tangtang? If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you!"

Ye Jin looked at Lin Shaoshu with her clear almond eyes. There was no fear in her eyes, only full of love: "Jin'er loves Your Highness, so she can't bear to see Your Highness being deceived. Let me ask you, if there is nothing between the Regent and my sister, then why would the Regent give my sister a gift alone today..."

"That...that's because Tangtang saved the old princess."

Although Lin Shaoshu said he didn't believe it, he gradually loosened his grip on Ye Jin's neck...

The seeds of doubt took root in his heart, the vines of jealousy grew wildly, and his eyes were bloodshot...

Ye Jin knew human nature well, smiled slightly, and finally gave Lin Shaoshu a fatal blow.

"I heard that the Regent loves plum blossoms the most, and today, my sister is wearing plum blossom makeup..."

Ye Jin's lips curled slightly...

According to unofficial historical records, Regent Lin Xun had no wife or children in his life, and was eventually buried with a crabapple tree.

Begonia is Empress Xiao’s favorite flower!

Thousands of years have passed, and the crabapple tree in the tomb has turned to ashes along with the past. The romantic story that was kept secret has also been buried in the dust of history. No one knows whether it is true or false...

Then, Ye Jin would make this private love affair, which was unacceptable to the world, come true!

Ruined Xiao Xuetang's reputation and brought Xiao Xuetang to ruin...
