Chapter 499

Chapter 492 Taishan Worshiping the Ancestors
The wind is blowing, the clouds are surging, God is like an indeterminate child, crying when he talks, laughing when he talks, just now the sky was clear and blue, but now the city is covered by dark clouds, and the storm is blowing.

Lin Xiaoyao stood facing the wind, and the violent north wind was like a roaring beast, blowing towards him crazily, rolling up his white clothes and making a noise, blowing his black hair into chaos, and the icy snowflakes fell on his cheeks It was very cold, and the tiny ice crystals hit the face, which hurt very much.

But Lin Xiaoyao seemed to be in an unknown state, with a thoughtful look on his face, and a deep and energetic expression. If anyone saw his eyes, they would find that Lin Xiaoyao's eyes were like black holes, capable of absorbing anyone's gaze. Going in, people get lost in it, unable to extricate themselves.

The wind is still blowing, the clouds are still accumulating, Lin Xiaoyao is like an ancient giant tree that soars into the sky, unshakable, silent as a mountain.

"Lin Lang"

At this moment, Zhao Ximeng's voice suddenly came.

Lin Xiaoyao regained his composure from his thoughts, and saw him turn around, with a wild and unrestrained smile on his face quickly.

"What's wrong? Did the queen mother really bless me so that we can consummate the house?" Lin Xiaoyao laughed.

"I told you that I have something serious to talk about. If you continue to make fun of me like this, I will ignore you." Zhao Ximeng found that in front of Lin Xiaoyao, he could no longer maintain the indifferent temperament he had cultivated for a long time. Lin Xiaoyao often made himself dumbfounded with two or three sentences, wishing to kick him twice.

"Okay, let's talk about business, let's talk about business!" Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile as he came down from the rockery, "But for me, consummating the house with you is nothing more serious than that!"

When Zhao Ximeng heard Lin Xiaoyao's words, his teeth were itching with hatred, and he wanted to punch Lin Xiaoyao a few times to let him know that he was not easy to bully.

But for some reason, deep in Zhao Ximeng's heart was a little joyful, especially when he heard Lin Xiaoyao say such ambiguous words to her, he felt sweet and warm.

Of course, Lin Xiaoyao couldn't let Lin Xiaoyao know about his feelings, otherwise the devil would know whether Lin Xiaoyao would go to extremes and really want to consummate the marriage with him. Did he agree to it at that time?Or agree?
"Oh, what am I thinking!"

"Ximeng, do you have a fever? Why is your face so hot?" Lin Xiaoyao tested the temperature of Zhao Ximeng's cheek with the back of his hand, and asked suspiciously.

"Ah? No way, I don't have a fever..." Zhao Ximeng quickly took a step back as if she had been electrocuted. Seeing Lin Xiaoyao's playful smile, she felt as if a deer was bumping into her. Shy and overwhelmed.

"That...well, Eunuch Li just sent an order from your father, telling you to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to meet your father..."

After finishing speaking, before Lin Xiaoyao could say anything, he fled away, leaving Lin Xiaoyao full of doubts, messing about in the wind.

"What's wrong with this girl? She blushed for no reason, and ran away for no reason, her hair is frizzy, and she is not afraid of being seen by interested people and saying that she violates the majesty of the royal family?"

Lin Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, he was more concerned about why the emperor came to him at this time than thinking about why Zhao Ximeng was so abnormal.

But no matter how much he thought, he still couldn't guess the emperor's mind, so he stopped guessing and hurriedly walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where the emperor and princes and ministers discuss their affairs. It is also known as the Golden Luan Hall in later generations.

Due to the emperor's order in advance, Lin Xiaoyao's activities in the palace were unimpeded, and he arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony within half an hour.

"Hey, my Lord Lin, you've come. The emperor and your lords are in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. You can just go in."

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Eunuch Li rushed forward to welcome him and said to Lin Xiaoyao enthusiastically.

Seeing Eunuch Li's enthusiasm, Lin Xiaoyao was also relieved. Eunuch Li is the closest person to the emperor. Eunuch Li knows best whether the emperor is happy or angry, so he can judge by how Eunuch Li treats him. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to be summoned by the emperor.

Lin Xiaoyao took out a bank note from his bosom, put it into Eunuch Li's hand with a smile, and asked, "Excuse Eunuch Li for waiting for a long time, who are the adults in the hall? Why is the emperor looking for me?" "

Eunuch Li took the bank note very familiarly. He looked around and found that no one noticed him, then said to Lin Xiaoyao in a low voice: "There are only two adults inside, and these two adults and Lord Lin have Lord Lin needn’t worry about friendship, but this old slave doesn’t know why the emperor is looking for Lord Lin.”

Lin Xiaoyao nodded. He didn't really want to get the news of the emperor's summons from Eunuch Li, but just wanted to confirm whether his judgment was correct through Eunuch Li's words.

"Okay, then I'll go in, I'm sorry for Mr. Li."

"Everything is what an old slave should do, and besides..."

Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment, speaking somewhat hesitantly.

"Eunuch Li can just speak directly, but do we still need to cover up our friendship?"

Lin Xiaoyao took out another bank note from his pocket and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand.

Eunuch Li evaded it for a while, but quickly put it away. He looked around cautiously, then leaned into Lin Xiaoyao's ear, and said in a low voice: "Originally, this old slave can't Tell anyone, if the emperor finds out, this old servant will lose his life."

"Eunuch Li, please don't worry, I have no other advantages, that is, I have a strict mouth, and I value affection. Eunuch Li treats me so well, how can I do things that are inferior to pigs and dogs." Lin Xiaoyao said quickly.

Eunuch Li nodded and said in a low voice: "The emperor seems to be in a bad mood recently. I often see him frowning and sighing when he is alone. Moreover, the emperor's condition has become more and more serious recently. Several imperial physicians have been killed because of ineffective treatment..."

When Lin Xiaoyao heard it, his head turned quickly. Eunuch Li's words are really very useful. Since ancient times, it is difficult to guess the emperor's psychology. He can only reason through some abnormal behaviors of the emperor, so the emperor Many of the eunuchs and maids around are the targets of many princes and ministers.

In the past, Lin Xiaoyao didn't understand the use of buying the hearts of these minions. Now, through what Eunuch Li told him, he realized that the use is really not that big...
