Everyone was very tactful. They stood up, found a suitable excuse, bowed to Prince An, and left Yunhui Hall.

Prince An walked up to He Jinchun and said humbly, "I will listen to Madam Lin's instructions."

Although he didn't show it on his face, Prince An was unusually nervous inside. He Jinchun wanted to talk to him alone, and it was nothing more than about him and Lin Luoling, whether he agreed or disagreed.

Earlier, Prince An had planned how to make Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun willingly marry Lin Luoling to him.

He just heard that the wife of Ningyuan Hou and Lin were planning to bring Jiang Chi and Lin Luoling together in marriage. He knew that there was no romantic relationship between Jiang Chi and Lin Luoling. However, in Tianqi Kingdom, the marriage of children has always been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times.

Therefore, he could only rush here as fast as he could and implicitly express his feelings for Lin Luoling to Mrs. Lin and Lady Ningyuanhou.

Although this approach was a bit abrupt, the good thing was that Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun could understand that he was sincere to Lin Luoling and would not resort to any tricks.

It was a mixed bag of wins and losses, but Prince An thought that even if He Jinchun did not agree with him and Lin Luoling being together, he would not give up the idea of ​​marrying Lin Luoling as his queen.

Lin Tingxu closed the palace door, pondered for a moment, took out a secret letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Prince An.

He said, "His Majesty asked the Silver Feather Guard to hand it to me the day before yesterday. Take a look."

Prince An's sword-like eyebrows moved slightly. He took the letter and opened it. His father first praised Lin Tingxu for living up to the emperor's expectations, and then praised Lin Tingxu for educating his daughter well. The secret letter did not mention a word about making Lin Luoling the Princess of An. At the end, it said that Prince An was alone in Xuzhou, the capital, and asked Lin Tingxu to take better care of him.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could know that Emperor Deshun was intentionally trying to bring Prince An and Lin Luoling together, and he did not issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage because he did not want Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun to feel oppressed by the imperial decree.

In other words, Emperor Deshun was taking the couple's thoughts into consideration.

Prince An felt deeply that his father was in Beijing and had many affairs in the court and the harem, so not only did he not blame him for not saying anything about his love for Lin Luoling, but he did so much for him in secret, without any of his usual imperial airs. He was just like an ordinary old father who hoped that his son could marry back home the wife he had loved for a long time.

Prince An was not surprised at all that Emperor Deshun knew what was in his mind. Although Gu Shun was his mother's man, Gu Shun had seen the good intentions of Emperor Deshun towards him over the years. Before leaving for Xuzhou, given Emperor Deshun's temperament, he would definitely call Gu Shun alone and tell him some things.

Gu Shun must have been afraid that Emperor Deshun would not agree to Lin Luoling becoming Princess An because she was a second-married woman. Therefore, Gu Shun might have laid the groundwork in the secret letter he wrote to Emperor Deshun long ago.

Prince An felt his eyes slightly sore, and suddenly heard Lin Tingxu say: "Your Majesty and Your Highness mean that we husband and wife understand."

Prince An folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and returned it to Lin Tingxu, saying, "To be honest, I have liked Ling'er for a long time. I'm sure Master Lin knows my personality. I have always been a person who would rather die than live in disgrace. If I can win the heart of a person, I would like to be with him until the end of my life.

Good promises can be made at will, but what I can promise to Master Lin is: I will not let down the world, and I will not let down Ling'er."

He Jinchun sighed: "My master and I both know that you are a perfect son-in-law, but..."

She shook her head helplessly and said, "My master and I only have Ling'er as our daughter. It was our fault that she was mistakenly married to Zhu Xianzhi. My master and I blamed ourselves and felt guilty for a long time. After this incident.

We hope Ling'er will be safe and sound in the future."

He Jinchun changed the subject and continued, "Your Highness Prince An will be the prince who will inherit the throne in the future. The palace is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable. My master and I really don't want to send our only daughter to suffer in that golden cage. Please understand our painstaking efforts as parents."

Prince An and Lin Luoling suddenly realized that Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were willing to act with the wife of Ningyuan Hou tonight because they did not want Lin Luoling to marry Prince An and become his princess.

Although Princess An and the future Queen were both honorable people in the eyes of court officials, in the eyes of Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun, the title was not as important as their daughter's happiness.

Prince An, who had already made preparations, took out a black embroidered bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to He Jinchun, saying:

"What Master Lin and Madam Lin have in mind is also what I look forward to the most. The road to succession is a life-and-death struggle. If I can succeed, I would like to announce to the world that only Ling'er will be the empress, and no concubines will be taken. She can leave the palace at any time and does not have to be confined to the palace. No matter what she wants to do, I will support her.

If I can't accomplish my goal, this is the way out I have thought of for Ling'er and the entire Lin family."

He Jinchun opened the black brocade bag and saw that inside was the new household registration that Prince An had prepared in advance for the entire Lin family.

A glance at the official seal showed that it was the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture.

Prince An explained: "Although the houses, fields and shops here are similar to those of the Lin family, they are not as good as the current assets of the Lin family. I wanted to buy more before, but I was afraid that my two brothers would find out, so I thought that the assets should not be too much, so as not to bring you a fatal disaster.

These can ensure that the three generations of the Lin family will have no worries in the future. This is my sincere wish. I hope that Mr. Lin and Madam Lin can fulfill my wish."

Lin Tingxu, He Jinchun and Lin Luoling read it carefully and found that not only their future paths were arranged on it, but also Lin Yuning, Lin Yuru and their families were all properly arranged. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.

One thing is clear: the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture has surrendered to Prince An.

How could he not be moved? Lin Luoling raised his head and looked at Prince An, who gave him a doting smile.

Lin Luoling wanted to say, you know the road to succession is difficult, do you want to die alone?

"Mother." Lin Luoling hugged He Jinchun's arms and called softly.

The voice fell, and there was a "whoosh" sound.

An arrow flew in through the window and hit the pillar in the hall.

Suddenly, Xiao Meng shouted from outside the door: "There is an assassin, protect His Highness."
