Didn't Love You Enough

Lin Jiabao has to start from the day before.As usual, Lin Jiabao went to greet the empress early in the morning.

Lin Jiabao arrived very early, and he was the first to arrive every time.After he arrived, concubines from the harem would arrive one after another, and gradually Jiabao became acquainted with them.

After the empress arrived, Lin Jiabao and the concubines saluted the empress together.After that, the empress will talk about the official affairs of the harem.After talking about this, we will also talk about the affairs of the harem. Speaking of this grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the three princes, mothers and concubines who went together looked very proud.Lin Jiabao sat in the last seat and listened quietly.

Lin Jiabao was very happy to hear that His Royal Highness and the others would be back in a day.When Lin Jiabao saw the back of His Highness the Crown Prince leaving, he couldn't help but began to miss... Lin Jiabao couldn't sleep without His Highness the Crown Prince's embrace at night, so come back soon...

Everyone just talked for a while, the queen sent them away early today, and said to the concubines: "That's all for today, let's all go back early..."

"No." The concubines stood up and bid farewell to the empress.

Lin Jiabao also got up to leave and prepared to leave.

"An Zhu, stay here..." The queen called Lin Jiabao to stop.

Some of the concubines showed gloating expressions. On New Year's Eve, His Highness the Crown Prince brought Lin Xiaoshi to attend and let him sit in the seat of the Crown Princess. Everyone saw this.Unexpectedly, the emperor and empress did not reprimand them at all, as if they hadn't noticed.It seems that today the Empress is going to beat Lin Xiaoshi up.

Lin Jiabao stayed as promised, seeing the eyes of the other concubines looking at him in confusion, so he didn't know why the empress wanted to keep him...

"An Zhu, come to me..." the queen said to Lin Jiabao.

"No." Lin Jiabao stepped forward and came to the empress. "What are your orders, Empress?"

The queen looked at Lin Jiabao in front of her, this servant Lin was indeed a likable child.Looking at Lin Jiabao's pure and clear eyes, no one would dislike it, no wonder the prince was a little obsessed.The most precious thing about Lin Xiaoshi is that he can still maintain his original nature when the prince loves him so much.

The queen sighed in her heart, it's a pity that she is a twin... It's a pity that the heir is better than the woman...

The queen thought about it and said to Lin Jiabao gently: "Anzhu, from now on, except for the crown prince bringing you to Yongshou Palace, you won't come to Yongshou Palace to greet you on weekdays..."

Lin Jiabao was taken aback after hearing this, "What's wrong with An Zhu, Empress?"

At this time, Nanny Zhou came in in a hurry, "Report to the empress, Li'an Palace is on fire..."

"What's going on? Is there a big fire?" Li'an Palace is a palace close to Yongshou Palace. It used to live in the former emperor's concubine. After the concubine passed away, it has been vacant. How could it catch fire?The empress was puzzled in her heart.

"Reporting to the empress, it started burning for some reason. It may be due to the dry weather. The old slave has already ordered the guards to put out the fire. I believe it will be extinguished soon, and it will not spread to Yongshou Palace." Zhou Nanny replied .

"Send more guards over there to check the cause of the fire. Be sure to put out all the fire..." the Queen ordered to Nanny Zhou.

"No." Nanny Zhou backed out again.

The queen turned to look at Lin Jiabao, "I just said that you don't have to come to Yongshou Palace every day to pay your respects, do you understand?"

Lin Jiabao was a little confused. He felt that it was normal to greet His Highness the Crown Prince's mother every day. He could also feel the empress's kindness towards him, and he had always been very respectful to the empress.Lin Jiabao would come early every day, rain or shine, and it has been like this until now...

The queen asked Lin Jiabao: "Did you meet Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yu when you paid your respects?"

Lin Jiabao thought for a while and answered: "I've never seen it..." He had never seen Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yu in Yongshou Palace. Now that I think about it, it's a little strange. Why didn't they come to greet the empress?

"That's it. It stands to reason that as the prince's concubine, he is not qualified to pay my respects to the palace. That's why you have never seen them when paying my respects. Look, there are only a dozen or so concubines who come to pay my respects every day. , but the emperor's harem is not limited to these people... Only those who are above the concubine level can pay respects to the palace..." The queen looked at Lin Jiabao's face full of disappointment, this is really written on her face child.

The queen unconsciously softened her voice and said: "You are a good person, but there are rules in the palace, and the levels in the palace are strict, and it is not easy to surpass. If this continues, it will not be good for the prince or you, and the royal officials will also Those who seize the crown prince's words and take action."

"Empress, An Zhu understands, An Zhu will definitely abide by the palace rules and not cause trouble for His Royal Highness..." Lin Jiabao nodded emphatically.

At this time, Mother Zhou led the guards from Yongshou Palace in. "Empress, it's not good, Xue Song led a large number of thieves into the harem, and they are heading towards the Yongshou Palace. I think those thieves set the fire in the Li'an Palace, just to distract the guards... "

"This damned Xue family, is this going to rebel?" The queen was furious, and asked, "How many guards are there in Yongshou Palace now?"

The head guard replied: "Now there are more than [-] guards left in Yongshou Palace to resist for a while. There are nearly a hundred of those thieves, and they are coming straight to Yongshou Palace. Please make arrangements early."

The queen gradually calmed down, "Take my Feng Ling and go to the commander of the imperial army and ask him to dispatch the imperial army as soon as possible."

The queen handed the Feng Ling to the chief guard, "Go quickly..."

"No." The chief guard took Feng Ling with both hands, and quickly retreated.

"Hurry up and get me a set of maid's clothes..." the queen ordered to Nanny Zhou.She has to be prepared with both hands, if the forbidden army can't arrive in time, she can't kill him instead.Since he came for Yongshou Palace, he came for her.

"Empress, please change quickly, the guards outside the yard can't hold on for too long." Nanny Zhou said anxiously.

The queen put on the maid's clothes outside, "Call in all the guards outside the palace. Let's go to Qianqing Palace. There are more guards there, so it's safer to go there."

Several guards retreated in, all wounded.Yuan Qing also came in to protect Lin Jiabao.

The queen looked at Lin Xiaoshi who was a little scared but held back, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the forbidden army will be here soon, let's go to the Qianqing Palace to take shelter first."

The queen has experienced fierce struggles for the throne in her early years, and she has seen all kinds of forced palaces.Thinking about Lin Xiaoshi's young age, where did he experience this.

"Empress, I'm not afraid anymore..." Lin Jiabao clenched his fists and said.

The queen was quite satisfied with Lin Jiabao's performance, but luckily he didn't cry.

The queen and Lin Jiabao were escorted by guards, and walked quickly towards the backyard.

The guards in the front yard gradually couldn't hold back, and someone had already rushed in.Xue Song, who led the way in, saw the queen sharp-eyed, and shouted: "The queen is there. King Li said that whoever can capture the queen will be rewarded with 1 taels of gold."

As soon as these words came out, there were thieves rushing to this side, and the guards stepped forward to resist.

The rest of the guards continued to guard the empress and Lin Jiabao as they moved forward.More and more people rushed over, and the sound of fighting for a while rang in Lin Jiabao's ears.

Lin Jiabao and the others had fewer and fewer guards, and walked forward with difficulty.The two hidden guards beside Lin Jiabao also joined in the fight, with these two joining.The situation has improved slightly, but the opponent has a large number of people, and the two hidden guards are also struggling to cope.In the end, the thieves took advantage of the loophole and attacked them.

Seeing that a thief was going to catch them, he was hacked and killed by the guards.But there are still desperate people coming from behind, watching the guards around him being entangled by thieves.Yuan Qing also rushed over and hugged the thief who came. "Empress, Lin Xiaozhu, you go away..."

"Yuanqing..." With tears in his eyes, Lin Jiabao picked up the big knife that the guard had dropped on the ground not far away, and helped the empress to run quickly.

The queen didn't run very far, and her foot became unsteady and fell to the ground.

"Empress, are you alright?" Lin Jiabao stepped forward to help the Empress.

"Hiss... I've sprained my ankle..." How could the queen walk so much on weekdays.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Jiabao carried the empress on his back and walked forward. The empress was not light in middle age.Lin Jiabao felt his body sink, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Lin Jiabao exerted all his strength and ran forward desperately with the empress on his back.

Lin Jiabao ran for a long time in a panic, picking alleys in the palace, came back and forth a few times, but managed to throw off the thieves.

The queen looked at Lin Jiabao who was covered in sweat on his neck and face, and thought of how he had carried her on his back for so long with such a thin body... His heart was very moved...

Seeing that there was no one around, the queen said, "Let Bengong come down, you're exhausted... I can go on my own."

Lin Jiabao wiped his sweat with his hands, "I'm not tired, empress, I'll run with you on my back for a while, and I can't let the bad guys catch you."

Fortunately, Lin Jiabao grew up in the village after all, and his feet are not bad.Then Lin Jiabao endured and ran for a while. "Empress, I didn't look at the road when I ran. This place doesn't seem to be in the direction of Qianqing Palace..."

"It doesn't matter, let's find a place to hide first. There are so many imperial guards in the palace and it is definitely not a problem to deal with the hundreds of people. We just need to find a hiding place and hide first, so that the thieves will not be caught. The emperor and His Royal Highness will come back soon." It's gone..." The queen knew that if Lin Jiabao hadn't run desperately behind her, she would have been arrested long ago.It would be bad for them if they were used to blackmail the emperor, fortunately Lin Anzhu was there...

Lin Jiabao tried his best to carry the empress for a while. The empress saw that he was really tired, "Let me go..."

Lin Jiabao put the empress down, his back was already soaked in sweat.Lin Jiabao supported the ground with the big knife that he had been holding tightly in his hand, and supported the empress to continue walking.This big knife is very heavy for Lin Jiabao, but he dare not let go, if there is an emergency, he can also protect the empress with this knife.

"An Zhu, do you know the road here?" The queen asked Lin Jiabao.As a queen, she seldom travels on foot, and usually travels with a chariot.The queen looked at the remote palace road, thinking that it should be safer here...

Lin Jiabao looked around and replied: "Go back to the empress, when Anzhu entered the palace, the mother asked to recite the route in the palace, and I have been here before. After that, it is the Xili Palace. After Anzhu entered the palace, the first Months were spent there."

After thinking for a while, Lin Jiabao said to the empress: "Empress, why don't we go to Xili Palace, where An Zhu is more familiar. And now there are no Xingong people coming in, there is no one there, it should be more secluded .”

The queen thought about it and agreed, and said, "Let's go to Xili Palace."

After speaking, the two of them quickly walked towards Xili Palace without delay.

After arriving at Xili Palace, I found that it was exactly as Lin Jiabao said, there was no one there.Lin Jiabao took the empress to find the room where the nanny in charge once lived, and it was also the best room in Xili Palace.

The long period of vacancy caused a layer of dust to accumulate in the room. "Empress, please wait for me to clean up." Lin Jiabao found a quick cloth and wiped it.

The empress didn't just watch, she also came to help Lin Jiabao, and after a while it was roughly tidied up.

"Empress, are your feet better?" Lin Jiabao helped the Empress to sit down on the bed.

"It's much better, you can sit down too, today is thanks to you." Seeing what Lin Xiaoshi did today, the queen was extremely moved, and said gratefully to Lin Jiabao.
