Lin Xuan had a good hunch that the person who came was Zhou Yan who was staying at Prince Yong's Mansion.The guards behind Zhou Yanhe were travel-stained, their eyes were scarlet, they must have rushed here overnight.Seeing Lin Xuan hastily dismounted, Zhou Yan knelt down to salute, and finally he calmed down: "I see the empress dowager, my lord!"

The Empress Dowager sat in the car without saying a word, and waved her hand at Lin Xuan as carte blanche. Now she just wants to be quiet.Lin Xuan held the reins tighter and tighter. Seeing the Empress Dowager put down the curtain and turned her head, she asked in a deep voice, "Get up, what happened in the mansion?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Lin Xuan and said, "My lord, I don't know who sent the news last night...say..."

"Say what?" Zhou Yan was still deciding what tone to say, but Lin Xuan couldn't help asking hastily.

"It is said... the princess is... the daughter of the Lord Zhou, and the officials discussed going to the court tomorrow to ask the emperor to imprison the princess. Last night, Lord Hou sent a letter to the palace, please be sure to catch the court tomorrow morning."

"Presumptuous—!" Lin Xuan yelled sharply, "Do they still see me as a prince! Is this king dead?! If this king is not in Beijing, he will be bullied to the top. They dare to imprison the princess today. Tomorrow Dare to imprison this king—”

"My lord calm down, it's time to rush back to the capital now—" Seeing the lord's fury, Zhou Xian hurriedly reminded him, he didn't expect this to happen, isn't the princess the daughter of Taifu Ji, how could she have anything to do with Lord Zhou?

"Rumors only stop with wise men, please calm down your lord, and set off quickly to be safe." Zhou Yan said hastily.

Lin Xuan smiled wryly, rumors only stop at wise men?So what if it wasn't rumors.

"Xuan'er, follow them back first."

"Emperor Grandmother, how can this be done? My grandson still needs to protect your safety." Lin Xuan didn't notice that the Empress Dowager had got out of the carriage, and hurriedly got off the horse.

"It's okay, there are so many guards, nothing can happen." The Empress Dowager held Lin Xuan's hand and said softly, "Jun'er needs you more now."

Lin Xuan glanced at the imperial grandmother gratefully, and called out deeply: "The imperial grandmother—" Every time I heard the imperial grandmother's voice, I always felt at ease in my heart and would not be afraid...

It seems that everyone in the world thinks that the emperor can do whatever he wants, but they don’t know that everyone can’t escape the constraints. Maybe every time this kind of scene where the officials threaten the emperor is staged, the high-ranking emperor is even more angry, annoyed and helpless. He opens his mouth full of benevolence and righteousness. They are all for the country, for the people and for the king. In the final analysis, they are still challenging the emperor's bottom line.

Lin Jin didn't expect Ji Yuejun's identity to be exposed so quickly, and he was caught off guard.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Ji has ulterior motives and sinister intentions. He actually let King Yong marry a daughter who killed his father and enemy as his concubine. This is simply—" Doctor Yushi's face turned red with anger, and even the battle of words, which he is best at in normal times, is now looking for him. Without proper rhetoric, he could only express his indignation from his arrogance and tone, "Oh—your majesty! Your majesty think twice—"

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Taifu Ji be arrested together, so as not to miss the spies of Zhou State. Taifu Ji is in a high position. If he is a spy of Zhou State, where will I put my face? Your Majesty—"

"Your Majesty, this is Li Chengxian's conspiracy, the purpose is to make us fight among ourselves—"

"Internal strife—? There are all facts and evidence. Even if there is a suspicion of sowing discord, Princess Yong is the daughter of the Lord Zhou. Taifu Ji knows it best."

Ji Muzhi stood in the front row contemptuously, and the quarrels around him didn't affect him at all, as if he didn't care at all.Things are making up lies until now, and the lie will always be exposed one day.Listening to the chatter of the ministers, Lin Jin felt a dull pain in his temple. He wished he could seal the mouths of all the ministers, but the smile on his face could not be diminished. He had to act like a close minister, "Everyone If this minister can use the power of talking about rumors in the governance of government affairs, I will be more pleased."

Although Lin Jin spoke with a smile, the ministers faintly felt the suppressed anger of the emperor, and immediately fell silent.

"This matter still needs to be investigated, and we can't make a conclusion hastily. Besides, King Yong is no longer in the capital. I don't want to be accused of bullying my sister-in-law." Lin Jin tried to use a relaxed tone, trying to fool the matter.

"It's absolutely impossible," Doctor Yu Shi hurriedly knelt in front of the steps, "Your Majesty, you must not be soft-hearted. You and I are not partial to partial believers, but it is reasonable to imprison Princess Yong and Taifu Ji before sending someone Investigation, if the concubine and Taifu Ji are innocent, naturally everyone will be happy, if——as the rumors say, it will be a death penalty!"

Lin Jin's heart trembled, his eyes fell on Ji Muzhi, and he quickly and carelessly lowered his head to touch the jade pendant on his waist, "There is no need to check again, I trust the Grand Tutor." The quiet voice contained an irresistible majesty of the king .

There are people in the world who are not afraid of death. The doctor Yu Shi said sharply: "How can the emperor resist the doubts of the world with his own faith! In this way, the emperor will be different from Shang Zhou and Xia Jie!"

"You——!" Lin Jin blushed with anger.

"As the Censor, I want to speak out! If the emperor doesn't act according to the rules today, I hope I will die." After the Censor finished speaking, he kowtowed vigorously. The sound of "bang, bang—bang" was the violent impact of the head on the steps, which was frightening to hear in the huge hall, and soon the blood on Doctor Yushi's forehead slid down his forehead.

"Stop him quickly—pull him up!" Lin Jin yelled hastily, it was the first time in his 18 years since he ascended the throne that he met someone who was looking for death in the morning court.

Lin Xuan ran all the way to the hall, but he didn't expect Doctor Yushi to splash blood on the hall for the sake of his family Yuejun.Before the eunuch entered the hall to report, Lin Xuan hurriedly stepped into the hall.

"Why is this, Doctor Yushi?" Seeing that Doctor Yushi was about to bump into the pillar, Lin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

The doctor Yu Shi was pleasantly surprised for a long time due to blood loss: "My lord—my lord, you persuade the emperor to imprison the princess, and you should check it out—"

Lin Xuan listened to Doctor Yushi's words, and was really worried that his head had been smashed, and asked the king to persuade the emperor brother to imprison the king's concubine, what is going on?Lin Xuan smiled bitterly helplessly, annoyed in his heart by the strong-tempered courtiers, how will this situation end now?It's still too late...

"King Yong came just in time—" the officials were furious.

"Brother Wang, is everything okay this trip?" Lin Jin ignored the officials and changed the topic.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern. Everything is going well." Lin Xuan felt that the underwear on his back was already wet with sweat and clinging to his body, and a chill ran through his whole body. Then he said respectfully, "I have a few words to say."

"Brother Wang, just say what you have to say."

"This king also knows what the ministers want today. This king wants to say something up front. Princess Yong may have many identities before marrying me. The daughter of the Taifu, a talented woman from Zhaoguo, now there is another one. The daughter of Lord Zhou." Lin Xuan glanced coldly at the ministers in the hall, and continued with a firm tone: "You must remember that from the day she married this king, she has only one identity, Princess Yong. I believe She. Now you are blaming this king when you blame Princess Yong, if one day Princess Yong does something that hurts the country as the ministers said, as her husband, this king will naturally bear all the responsibilities. "

There was silence in the hall, and suddenly the doctor Yushi asked: "If Princess Yong—"

Lin Xuan didn't wait for him to finish, he waved his hand, and said decisively: "This king is willing to exchange his life for another life."

De Hai stood in front of the hall as if walking on thin ice, carefully holding the imperial decree in his hand, and said to the emperor, "My lord, the empress dowager has an imperial decree."

Lin Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Xuan—"

"... Concubine Yong is both virtuous and virtuous, with both virtue and art, mourning her family's love and pity, so Princess Xuan Yong went to Lingyun Temple to accompany her to pray for blessings..."

Lin Xuan also heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the empress dowager's edict, the old lady had made her position known.Yuejun went to Lingyun Temple to pray with the emperor's grandmother, and when the turmoil was over before returning to Beijing, he had to go through the cusp of the storm.

The empress dowager's decree was like a slap in the face of all the ministers, so - since the royal family has recognized this princess, what else can I say as a foreign minister?It's like, you think it's a good performance of meritorious service, but in fact, people have already planned it out.Although the ministers were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. It seemed that the empress dowager and the emperor had far-sightedness than themselves. I don't know what kind of chess to play. It feels really bad to be accused of being a horse...

"Princess, the Empress Dowager said that no one has been seen." Dongfeng reported cautiously.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to rest earlier, I don't need anyone here." A trace of disappointment flashed in Ji Yuejun's bright eyes, and today I hurriedly came to Lingyun Temple with the empress dowager, and I didn't see her again.

During the days when Lin Xuan was away, Ji Yuejun couldn't sleep well every day. She heard the rumors about her life experience a few days ago. She is a smart person, and she can guess some things by herself without asking too many questions*.From panic at the beginning to indifference later on, Lin Xuan probably knew her identity before she left, and it was this identity that made her afraid, right?Are you hesitant?But Ji Yuejun couldn't blame her, blame her.Now I'm afraid to see her...

"Yue Jun—" Lin Xuan knocked lightly on the door, and the room was silent.

"Yue Jun, I don't know what to say to you now, because I don't know how to say it." Lin Xuan sat in front of the door a little haggard, "No one in this world cares more about your happiness than me, but I It's the person who strips you of your happiness. Yue Jun, we haven't talked for a long time, can you open the door and meet me?"

Ji Yuejun was silent for a while, and said: "You go, leaving is the best choice for the prince."

"Before I met you, political affairs were the most important thing to me, but after I met you, everything changed. Even if I didn't say anything or do anything when I was with you, I felt happy. You know, if one day You and I were poisoned at the same time, and there is only one antidote. I will force you to take the antidote, not because I love selflessly, but because I can't bear the pain of losing you. Just think about the pain , I can barely breathe, it hurts so much." Lin Xuan expressed pain, "Yue Jun, since I was a child I was not good at expressing my feelings, but this time made me understand that every moment we spend together is precious, and life is impermanent. I just want you to know...I love you..."

Ji Yuejun gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed his breath and said: "It's getting late, you should go back to the house to rest earlier, I'm tired..."
