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

"This Third Prince is quite interesting..."

In the carriage, Qi Yusheng knew clearly that Lin Xun's aura was not right, yet he still came up to him in a very mean manner and brought up irrelevant issues.

"When the current emperor was still a prince, the third prince was the legitimate son of the palace. But he never expected that his mother, Xie, would fall out of favor and be almost deposed. The concubine was promoted to the first wife, and the third prince was forced to change from a legitimate son to a bastard. If it weren't for that accident, he would have been the crown prince. To be honest, in terms of character and talent, he is many times better than the crown prince."

But over the years, Lin Shaoshu has not shown any resentment because of his life experience. Instead, he has a gentle personality and polite manners. He has a very good reputation in the court, especially compared with the useless prince...

The Wang family is extremely powerful, and Queen Wang is cunning and capable, but she gave birth to a son who is not a good person.

The Imperial Censorate has spies all over Kyoto, so naturally they know some of the secrets in the imperial palace...

"Noble Concubine Xie died of illness in the Qiandi Residence. I heard that the death of Noble Concubine Xie was related to the one in Fengyi Palace."

Lin Xun did not make too many comments on Concubine Xie's death. He was wearing a mask and his emotions could not be seen. He just said in a faint voice: "Who can predict the misfortunes in the world..."

Qi Yusheng let out an exaggerated "tsk" and said, "Yeah, who can tell what will happen in this world... maybe, this fiancée who is set in stone will end up with someone else!"

Lin Xun knew that Qi Yusheng was playing tricks on him, but he was always frank and didn't hide anything. He said calmly, "He might be innocent of the matter of changing from a legitimate wife to a concubine. But everything that happened now is his own fault."

There was a hint of coldness in Lin Xun's eyes, and even Qi Yusheng couldn't help but shudder.

Qi Yusheng's expression changed again and again. A trace of suspicion flashed across Lin Xun's eyes as he looked at him. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xun sneered and said, "Do you think it's a coincidence that Lin Shaoshu appeared in the restaurant today..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianshu's voice came from outside the carriage, "My Lord, this is bad. The prince was assassinated on the way back to the palace!"

Hearing this, Qi Yusheng said, "Oops!"

"You just taught the prince a lesson in the restaurant, and many people saw it. If he goes back this time, he will encounter an assassin. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will suspect that you are involved..."

Moreover, yesterday at the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Xun and Prime Minister Wang had a conflict over the herbal medicine issue. Now that something has happened to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that the Wang family will target Lin Xun even more.

In this case, when two tigers fight each other, who will benefit the most?

A figure dressed in blue, who looked peaceful and indifferent to the world, appeared in Qi Yusheng's eyes!

Lin Xun's face also darkened at this time, and he ordered Tian Shu: "Go and find out who Lin Shaoshu met in the teahouse today."

Almost at the same time, a man in white stood in a private room in the teahouse. He looked in the direction where the carriage disappeared and smiled slightly: "Lin Xun, the game has begun..."

……

At that time, Concubine Xie was seriously ill, but the Empress, in the name of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, did not allow any doctors to be called, let alone anyone to visit her, and directly imprisoned her in a villa.

Until the day before the coronation ceremony, the guards in the palace relaxed, and Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu finally secretly saw Concubine Xie for the last time.

The Princess Lin, who was once a stunning beauty in Kyoto, now sleeps in a simple and remote villa, with a straw mat as a pillow and a foul odor all over her body.

Only those eyes still looked at them tenderly, and said: "Mother looks very ugly now, and smells very bad. I am afraid I scared you."

She was so kind and always thought about others until her death, but fate had never been kind to her.

Therefore, those who killed Concubine Xie should go to hell!

A hint of darkness flashed across Xiao Xuetang's clear eyes...

But back then, she was just a child, how could she fight against Queen Wang who was at the peak of her power?

Lin Shaoshu said, at least let his mother leave cleanly and decently.

They cleaned Concubine Xie's body and prepared clean clothes for her. In the end, Concubine Xie left this world cleanly with a smile on her face.

Until Concubine Xie was buried, Lin Shaoshu never shed a tear in front of others, but she cried and fainted several times. Lin Shaoshu hugged her and comforted her in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter, mother is gone, at least I am still here."

"Tangtang, from now on there will be only two of us in this imperial city, please never leave my side, okay?"

He buried his head in her neck. Xiao Xuetang couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could feel a cool and wet feeling.

She patted his back, and after a long moment, she softly said "OK".

For this eternal promise made in her youth, she accompanied him through swordplay, bloodbath, and finally reached that position...

But it was not until later that Xiao Xuetang realized that the most unreliable thing was the promises made when young!

Lin Shaoshu knew better than anyone how important Concubine Xie was in Xiao Xuetang's heart.

After mentioning Concubine Xie, Xiao Xuetang was obviously not as sharp as before and became much gentler.

After a long silence, Xiao Xuetang looked up at Lin Shaoshu and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

Lin Shaoshu breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to give them room to talk, Ruyi and Qiyue had already left tactfully, leaving only Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu in the private room...

Lin Shaoshu rarely revealed his thoughts: "I want that position, you will help me, right, Tangtang."

He pleaded softly, just like the fragile boy who had just lost his mother five years ago.

Xiao Xuetang pursed her lips and said after a moment: "You already have Ye Jin now."

"No, Ye Jin is just a chess piece!"

Lin Shaoshu said anxiously: "I only try to please Ye Jin because I see that she is a man of great talent. When I ascend the throne, you will be the queen, so..."

"Tangtang, be sensible and stop being jealous of Ye Jin."

After a long silence, he finally lowered his eyes and said softly, "Okay."

Just like before.

Lin Shaoshu's frown gradually relaxed...

He knew that the relationship between him and Xiao Xuetang over the years could not be interfered with by anyone, not even the powerful Lin Xun!

"And one more thing……"

Before Xiao Xuetang was about to leave, Lin Shaoshu suddenly called her.

He stood with his back to the window, while the man in the bright moonlight and fresh breeze was standing in the shadows, so one couldn't see his expression.

"I have placed my mother's tablet in the Huguo Temple for worship. Tomorrow, we will go to the Huguo Temple to pay tribute."

Hearing the words "Huguo Temple", Xiao Xuetang's body trembled slightly.

If possible, she didn't want to go to that place in her life, and... meet that man!

In her previous life, she followed the rules all her life. The only time she did something out of the ordinary was once in the Huguo Temple...

When she went out of the palace to pray for blessings, Ye Jin drugged her and arranged for a man to pretend to be Lin Shaoshu to destroy her innocence.

But although Xiao Xuetang was drugged at that time, he did not completely lose his mind, and he did not break into the room arranged by Ye Jin!

From those fragmentary memories, the man's outline was somewhat similar to Lin Shaoshu, he was dressed in white, had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and was meditating with a rosary tied around his wrist.

So the other party might be a cultivator...

Fortunately, she will not marry Lin Shaoshu in this life, and will not have that evil relationship!

Thinking of this, the heat on Xiao Xuetang's face eased a little, and he turned his back to Lin Shaoshu and nodded to show that he understood.

Concubine Xie was buried in the concubine's tomb, and Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu could only worship in front of the spirit tablet.

Tomorrow, after burning incense, go back.

Xiao Xuetang was thinking about something and accidentally bumped into someone...

The sandalwood scent of the man wafted into my face, and then I heard a cold voice: "Sorry."

She looked up in astonishment, and saw only a white sleeve, as white as clouds and snow, without a speck of dust...
