The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

On the tenth day of September, the cold was getting deeper. It had been nearly two months since Chu Heyi's accident.

This time, General Zhenxi Luo Cheng brought his younger sister Luo Jin to the palace to pay homage to the prince.

They entered the palace after dark. The cold air permeated every corner. The late autumn wind blew, and the atmosphere was cold and solemn.

When the brother and sister entered Qianqiu Palace, Xie Lin was sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. He had a noble and elegant temperament.

He was covered with a brown blanket and wearing a green brocade robe. Although his face was beautiful, his complexion was too pale.

This is probably what happens when you are sick for a long time.

Luo Cheng brought his younger sister to kneel in the hall and pay their respects. The two siblings said in unison: "We pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a long and healthy life."

Xie Lin held the book in his hands, placed it on his knees, and looked at them calmly: "I wonder why General Luo wants to see me?"

His voice was neither high nor low, but as cold as ice.

Luo Cheng said: "I came here tonight for my sister's marriage. I am loyal to Daqi and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not mind, I am willing to send my sister to the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Lin's gaze fell coldly on Luo Cheng and his sister. Luo Jin, on the other hand, kept her head down and said nothing. Her noncompetitive look made it easy for people to ignore her existence.

As for Luo Cheng, although he felt Xie Lin's gaze, the unchanged lines of his back and the fact that he showed no sign of changing his words let Xie Lin know how determined and strong he was tonight.

Xie Lin said: "I have a sweetheart. Although she has left the palace now, she has always been in my heart."

This means rejection.

And it gave Luo Cheng and his sister some face.

Luo Cheng, however, took a step forward on his knees and pressed the issue further: "Your Highness, it has been the norm for men to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times, not to mention that you are the crown prince of a country! The Crown Princess actually broke up with you and left the palace because of such a small matter. This is really wrong!"

Xie Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Luo Cheng continued, "The Crown Princess will regret it sooner or later. I believe that in the near future, she will come back to find you, Your Highness. If you let her control you, she will only become more arrogant in the future!"

Xie Lin still stared at him without saying anything, and seemed quite curious about what Luo Cheng would say next.

Wangshan, who was standing beside him, was also silent. The doors and windows of Qianqiu Palace were tightly closed, and the cold wind could not blow in. It was like a warm harbor inside, and no one could sense any danger.

Luo Cheng's heart was beating like a drum. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "Since the Crown Princess is not in the palace now, why doesn't Your Highness take this opportunity to take a concubine? I sincerely want my sister to serve Your Highness."

Xie Lin's lips curled up coldly, his eyes flashed with a smile, but his eyes were cold: "But General Luo, I am weak, even if I marry the Crown Prince's concubine, I can't favor her. Could it be that General Luo wants your sister to be a widow?"

Not only Luo Cheng was surprised, but even the girl kneeling beside him was extremely surprised.

I wonder, which man in the world can easily say that he is weak and inhumane? What's more, the man in front of him is the current Crown Prince!

Facing the stunned Luo Cheng, Xie Lin smiled and said, "Since General Luo is so sincere and wants to send your sister to the palace, I do have a way, but I don't know if General Luo is willing."

Luo Cheng blurted out: "What?"

Xie Lin said, "My father is still alive. General Luo, why don't you send your sister to the Taiji Palace to serve my father? I promise you that when your sister enters the palace, she can be made a concubine and given a title, just below the queen. What do you think, General Luo?"

Luo Cheng was furious. Xie Lin was humiliating him!

Shame on his whole family!

Xie Lin's cold voice continued: "This way, General Luo's loyalty to Daqi will be fulfilled, and Miss Luo will not be left alone at such a young age, wasting her youth."

"Your Highness!" Luo Cheng's voice was much louder, and it was also filled with obvious anger: "My sister wants to marry Your Highness. Your Highness may not like her, but you can't push her to someone else. This is humiliating her sincerity!"

"With all my heart?" Xie Lin really smiled this time. He supported himself on the low table with his elbows and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to get a clear look at the brother and sister in front of him.

His voice suddenly became sharp: "I have received accurate information that Miss Luo Jin ran away from home two months ago and her whereabouts are still unknown.

"Who is the girl General Luo brought today? Did he lie to me and say she is Miss Luo Jin because I have never met her? Since she is not Miss Luo Jin, how can she be said to be sincere to me and will not marry anyone but me?"

Luo Cheng's heart was shocked and his pupils shrank drastically. He didn't expect that the thing that his Luo family had concealed was actually known by Xie Lin.

Isn’t he focused on finding Chu Heyi?

Didn't he fall ill on the bed and ignore everything because of Chu Heyi's accident? Why did he still know about his Luo family's affairs?

Xie Lin sneered: "Now that things have come to this, General Luo, why don't you tell me your real purpose."

This sentence was telling Luo Cheng that he was fully aware that Luo Cheng's return to the capital and bringing people pretending to be his sister into the palace tonight was not for his sister's marriage, nor was it to show loyalty to the Daqi royal family, but for another purpose.

After Luo Cheng trembled all over, he not only did not become more panicked, but gradually calmed down.

He knelt again, very seriously, and his tone was full of sincerity: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent. I do have an unwelcome request, and I beg Your Highness to fulfill it. As for whether Your Highness the Crown Prince will take my sister as a concubine, it is actually not important."

Xie Lin said “hmm”.

The next thing he was going to say involved his beloved, so Luo Cheng was somewhat nervous. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I want Concubine Zhen!"

After saying this, he waited quietly for Xie Lin's reaction, but Xie Lin just looked at him.

Luo Cheng continued, "Empress Zhen and I were childhood sweethearts, and we were supposed to be together, but the Emperor stole our love, and we were forced to separate!

"For more than ten years, I have guarded the Great Qixi Mirror, sacrificing my life and blood, without hesitation. For more than ten years, Empress Zhen has also guarded the emperor and gave birth to the eighth prince for him.

"We have done enough for Daqi. Now that we are over thirty, we just want to spend the rest of our lives with each other and live for ourselves. What's wrong with that?"

When he spoke of the latter part, Luo Cheng was filled with indignation, his eyes almost spewed fire, his hands were clenched into fists, veins bulged, as if everyone in the world had wronged him.

Xie Lin seemed to want to get down from the couch, but he was too weak, so he moved a bit and sat back on the couch.
