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

Chapter 257 Mu Xingyun goes to Beijing, Xiao Xuetang is in danger

Late at night, Lin Xun in the imperial study suddenly had a bad feeling for some reason.

Emperor Yonghui summoned Lin Xun to the palace overnight, still because of the affairs in southern Xinjiang!

According to the plan, the Southern Xinjiang delegation should have arrived in Kyoto half a month ago, but for some unknown reason, the delegation encountered many unexpected events while approaching Kyoto.

First, the Southern Xinjiang envoys were assassinated. The officials who received the envoys at the post station learned that the envoy to Dayin was actually Prince Jiumo, the most favored one in the royal family.

As a result, the Ministry of Rites had to readjust the arrangements for receiving the delegation. It happened that they heard that the princess was frightened in the assassination and was temporarily recuperating in the inn.

It was obvious that someone deliberately delayed their arrival in Beijing, and that person was Lin Xun!

On the eve of the Southern Xinjiang delegation's arrival in Beijing, the Tianxuan Sect, which had been lurking in Kyoto for many years, made frequent moves. Even a fool would not believe that it was a coincidence.

Although on the surface, the Tianxuan Sect and the Southern Xinjiang royal family had long been separated, the former priest of Southern Xinjiang was a very ambitious person and made friends with many people in the royal family. In addition, the origin between the Tianxuan Sect and the royal family in the past, the relationship between the two is definitely not as clean as it seems on the surface!

Before the Southern Xinjiang delegation came to negotiate peace, Lin Xun had already planned to wait for them to enter Kyoto and capture them in one fell swoop.

but……

However, Xiao Yu found Lin Xun overnight.

He said that those people from Southern Xinjiang were coming for Xiao Xuetang, and asked Lin Xun to delay the Southern Xinjiang delegation's entry into Kyoto.

Lin Xun had some dealings with Xiao Yu before, and knew that Xiao Yu was not the kind of person who would act without purpose, so he did something about it...

"Now that martial law has been imposed in all parts of Kyoto, the remnants of the Tianxuan Sect and the eunuch party have been wiped out. It is a good opportunity to welcome the Southern Xinjiang delegation into the city."

After hearing what Lin Xun said, Emperor Yonghui finally put his mind at ease.

These days were turbulent times in Kyoto, and Emperor Yonghui was really worried that something might go wrong when welcoming the Southern Xinjiang delegation out of the city at this time. With Lin Xun's assurance, Emperor Yonghui was relieved.

"This time, Nanjiang came to Dayin to discuss peace, which is of great significance. Which prince does His Majesty plan to send out of the city to welcome him tomorrow?"

It would have been fine if Lin Xun hadn't asked, but when he did, the Yonghui Emperor's expression became inexplicably subtle, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "The Crown Prince has been confined for self-reflection these days, and Shao Shu has done a good job during this period, so I..."

Lin Xun said naturally: "The Third Prince is very knowledgeable. He was the one who received the envoys from various countries last time. There shouldn't be any problems."

Emperor Yonghui breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, when Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang broke off their engagement, he was worried about what Lin Xun would think of Lin Shaoshu. Now seeing Lin Xun's indifferent look, Emperor Yonghui felt that he was narrow-minded after all.

Lin Xun saw that Emperor Yonghui seemed to be hesitant to speak, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

It was already late, and when Lin Xun left the mansion, he saw that Xiao Xuetang looked unhappy, and he was a little worried. He didn't have time to continue wasting time here with Emperor Yonghui, so he simply asked directly: "Your Majesty has something else to tell you, is it... related to the Marquis of Yong'an?"

When Emperor Yonghui mentioned the Marquis of Yong'an, his heart skipped a beat and he blurted out subconsciously: "I was thinking of King Tianji..."

Lin Xun...

Emperor Yonghui said it, and he was no longer as entangled as before. He expressed his concerns and said, "I remember that King Tianji and Southern Xinjiang were at odds, and you have been fighting with Southern Xinjiang for many years... This time I decided to negotiate peace with Southern Xinjiang. Will you blame me in your heart?"

At this moment, the lights in the imperial study were bright, as bright as day, and Lin Xun was not wearing a mask——

In recent years, he seldom took off his mask unless he was alone. But during this period, Emperor Yonghui was surprised to find that although Lin Xun was still used to wearing a mask in front of outsiders, he took off the mask more and more in private.

Is it because of Xiao Xuetang?

But even though Lin Xun was not wearing a mask, Emperor Yonghui could not see the expression in his eyes. He only saw him smile calmly and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Years of war and killing are not good for the country and the people. If this peace talk in Southern Xinjiang can stop the war, I will naturally be more than happy."

The premise is that Southern Xinjiang is sincere in negotiating peace and has no ulterior motives!

"As for my father..."

Lin Xun paused...

His memory of his father is only in the descriptions of others.

In addition, the Tianji Palace was wiped out that year, and the cause was the birth of Lin Xun...so few people mentioned him in front of Lin Xun.

When he was young, the old princess did not allow it. After Lin Xun became an adult, others did not dare to mention it.

"I'm sure that my father would rather have peace and tranquility in the sea and the country than any personal grudge against me."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yonghui's eyes flashed with a sigh, and he said, "Yes, among the royal family members back then, Uncle Wang was the one who hated evil the most and cared the most about the people..."

The two people that Emperor Yonghui admired most in his life were his elder brother Emperor Huaimin and his younger uncle King Tianji.

King Tianji was only a few years older than the two brothers, but he was a genius with a willful personality, and was a role model for all the royal family members in Kyoto.

When he was young, King Tianji was a child of destiny, but he was also very passionate. He taught the Yonghui Emperor and other members of the royal family how to ride horses and shoot arrows...

When Lin Xun mentioned King Tianji, his tone was still calm, without any big waves.

This made Huizong sigh. Lin Xun looked like his father, but his cold personality was not like him...

At this time, Lin Xun said: "Your Majesty, if you have no further instructions, I will take my leave now."

He coughed lightly a few times as he spoke.

Emperor Yonghui then remembered and said, "I was so busy talking that I forgot you were ill. You should go back first."

At this point, Emperor Yonghui seemed to have thought of something, and said to Lin Xun: "Oh, there is one more thing..."

Huizong thought of the memorial sent this morning and said, "There's a memorial from Prince Mu's mansion saying that Mu Xingyun has gone to Kyoto to report on his work and wants Mu Yan and her brother to go back to worship their ancestors at the end of the year."

When Lin Xun, who was usually calm, heard the three words "Mu Xingyun", his expression changed slightly, but it was only for a moment and Emperor Yonghui didn't notice anything.

"General Mu has been stationed in Yunnan for five years and has never been to Beijing. Why is he here so suddenly..."

Emperor Yonghui did not notice anything unusual, and said, "Mu Xingyun said that the Tianxuan Sect on the border has recently shown signs of revival. He was worried that something might happen when the Southern Xinjiang delegation came to Beijing, so he has been secretly watching the Southern Xinjiang delegation coming to the capital. He was worried that I would blame him, so he wrote a memorial to apologize..."

"He is also very loyal. In addition, he was once highly valued by the previous emperor, and you and I have known each other for a long time. So I did not punish him. It just so happens that he is going to the capital to report on his work. With him keeping an eye on the southern border, you don't have to work so hard."

Use the remaining time to marry the girl at home as soon as possible!

Emperor Yonghui almost applauded himself for his wise decision.

Lin Xun...

"Your Majesty, as long as you are happy."

But Mu Xingyun...

Suddenly Lin Xun thought of something and his face changed slightly. Oh no, Xiao Xuetang is in danger!
