Traitor and Concubine Quan

There was a wind blowing, and the leaves rustled.

Ruan Xixi asked Lin Pin, "How...how did you become friends with the Son of Heaven?"

Everyone in the world knows that the Son of Heaven is crazy, cruel and violent, has an unpredictable temper and is extremely lustful.Lin Pin was originally Lin Yao, the daughter of Lord Lin Sui.Why did a young lady from a famous family like Lin Yao secretly become friends with the prince back then?

Lin Sui is by no means a follower of power, and he will never take the initiative to attach himself to Liang Yuanheng, the former prince and now the emperor of Jin.And Lin Yao, a well-educated boudoir girl, would not casually associate with outside men, and this man's temper was notoriously violent, which was completely incompatible with Lin Yao's personality.

Even though they are both rich and powerful in the Jin Dynasty, but their circles are completely different, and their temperaments are also very different, it is really puzzling that these two people have become friends.

Lin Pin pursed her lips, she had never revealed this to anyone, but to Ruan Xixi, she was ready to reveal all the secrets between herself and the emperor.

"Xixi, you once asked me whether the emperor knew that I was a woman. Now, I can tell you that the emperor has always known my identity. Moreover, it was he who proposed to take me into the palace, give me an official position, and help I concealed my former identity."

Ruan Xixi's heart was shocked, and she understood in an instant, "So, he wants to save you?"

"Well," Lin Pin nodded slowly. She knew that Ruan Xixi would figure it out immediately, and she didn't plan to hide it, so she continued to explain, "At the beginning, my father Lin Sui offended the emperor at that time, and the emperor bestowed a crime on my Lin family. Ordered the imperial guards to massacre my entire family. Fortunately, my father still had some prestige in the court. Someone secretly passed the news to the Lin family. When my mother heard that my father was imprisoned in the palace and was about to be beheaded for questioning, she felt ashamed, so she hung herself on a tree ..."

Ruan Xi hoped to look at this apparently young locust tree, thinking of Aunt Lin's kind and kind face, she couldn't help feeling her eyes tingle.She looked up at Lin Pin, saw the pain in her eyes, and felt as if a knife had been cut through her heart.

At that time, my father left home in a hurry after reading a letter. Since then, their father and daughter have also been separated by yin and yang.

Lin Pin slowly closed his eyes, with a look of grief that could not be concealed on his face, "Mother ordered someone to send me out of the house, and tried to use her last strength to protect my life, but I was running away from the relatives. After the palace was caught up by the imperial army..."

"Is it the emperor Liang Yuanheng, that is, the prince at that time, who saved you at that time?"

"Well, he saved me." Lin Pin opened his eyes, his eyes were dark and deep, and he couldn't see the end, "I met him because he bullied a girl on the street, and I planned to beat him up Afterwards, we didn't know each other. I knew he was the crown prince, and he also knew that I was the young lady of the Lin family. At that time, he heard that the Lin family was about to be ransacked, so he rushed here , those imperial guards did not dare to embarrass him, so he rescued me..."

"If I remember correctly, the emperor was already dying of illness at that time, and the prince ascended the throne after Lin Xiangye died." Ruan Xixi recalled.

"Xixi, everyone says that the Son of Heaven is crazy, greedy for money, lustful, and bloodthirsty. I admit that the Son of Heaven does have these vices, but you don't know that the Son of Heaven himself may not want to be such a person."

Ruan Xixi was slightly surprised by Lin Pin's words.Are these vices not the nature of the Son of Heaven?Even if it wasn't his nature, it was a temper he developed later. In any case, it was really a disaster for the people of Jin to have such emperors for two generations.

Lin Pin looked into Ruan Xixi's eyes seriously, and said clearly, "The former emperor was a lunatic, and now the emperor is still a lunatic. Have you ever thought that it is the emperor's father who affects the emperor's temperament? A lunatic, who gave birth to His son has a tendency to be a madman, have you ever thought about the possibility of this?"

Ruan Xixi's eyes widened, a guess quickly flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help blurting out, "The emperor is really crazy..."

Lin Pin put his hands on her shoulders, and explained, "The current emperor can only be awake for a few hours a day, and for the rest of the time, he is in a state that he cannot control himself. So he will close himself up, he is afraid that he will hurt others. But without me watching, he will make some crazy actions irresistibly, no one can stop him..."

"Without you watching..." Ruan Xixi keenly captured the details, her eyes lit up suddenly, she looked up at Lin Pin and asked nervously, "Could it be that the crescent moon scar I saw on your back before, is what Princess Si said about you?" The matter of the emperor’s confinement is all a misunderstanding because you are hiding the secret that the emperor is a real madman? In their eyes, you are a disgraceful confinement, but in fact, you are helping the emperor restrain his madness?”

Lin Pin nodded slowly.

Ruan Xixi suddenly lifted her sleeves, pinched her arms and looked over and over again, this was not enough, she also pulled Lin Pin's collar, wanting to see other scars on her body.

Lin Pin covered his collar, dumbfounded, and said, "Don't look, when the Son of Heaven is crazy, he just arrests people indiscriminately. In the beginning, I would get hurt more, but later I found the trick. Once he goes crazy, I just hugged him and he couldn't move."

Ruan Xixi looked at Lin Pin with pity, "But if you hold him, his hands will scratch at your back. That's how those deep and shallow fingernail marks are left..."

Lin Pin covered the back of her hand, held it in his hand, stroked her cheek with his left hand, and said softly, "These injuries have long since ceased to hurt. I really feel the pain in my heart when you make you feel sorry for me."

Ruan Xixi was stunned, and tapped Lin Pin's lips with her finger, and the ending sound raised slightly, "Is it so sweet because it's dipped in honey? Is it true that you can't believe what a treacherous minister says? That’s how you describe someone like you.”

Lin Pin lowered his head to hold her lips, and kissed her deeply.

Ruan Xixi snorted, feeling her whole body went limp.Opening his eyes slightly, he dimly saw Lin Pin's long and thick eyelashes blinking slightly in front of his eyes.

"Lin Pin..." Ruan Xixi panted slightly, "My father received a secret letter to save your father, do you know who wrote it?"

Lin Pin was slightly taken aback, "My mother will definitely not let you take risks. I also found it strange that Uncle Yuan traveled thousands of miles to rescue my father. Although Uncle Yuan and my father have a good relationship, after all, distant water cannot save near fire. , and Uncle Yuan is a member of the rivers and lakes, it is very inappropriate to use people from the rivers and lakes to do this, and it will only make the emperor more guilty of my father's liaison with various forces in an attempt to rebel..."

"So, there is something strange about this matter." Ruan Xixi frowned, "I left that letter in Heguang Villa, I should bring it for you to see, maybe there are some clues to follow."

"Well, but for now, you should be careful in the capital. If you don't have to, don't go out."

Ruan Xixi raised her eyebrows provocatively, "Why, do you want to imprison me?"

Lin Pin smiled slightly, his expression was very elegant and kind, "I want to imprison you, and I will hide you in a golden house."

Ruan Xixi smiled sweetly and said cheerfully, "Master Lin may not have the financial resources of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, right? You can't persecute the people and intimidate the courtiers for the sake of my little girl. That will easily arouse public anger."

Lin Pin frowned in disbelief, "Since you think of me so much, I won't extort money, but you can only live in a shabby house, isn't it wronging you?"

Ruan Xixi stretched out her hand and hooked Lin Pin's neck, pulled her towards her, and approached her very ambiguously, "I am willing to follow Master Lin like this. I will eat light food, and you will drink tea."

Lin Pin couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Yes, as ordered." After thinking about it, he said, "I'll send someone to fetch that letter, and I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, and I need to investigate it as soon as possible. "

Ruan Xixi nodded in agreement, "Wait for me to fix a book, and you send someone to get it from Uncle Gu."

"Speaking of you, Uncle Gu, you are really a formidable character. Back then, I almost fell into the hands of his old man. It would be great if my twelve were as outstanding as you, Uncle Gu. I don't have to worry so much every day. Someone was assassinated."

Ruan Xixi said, "Don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Lin Pin, although I understand your situation, I didn't intend to force you to change anything. But since you are Lin Yao, the situation is different. I I hope that one day, you can restore your identity and no longer be pointed at by people and call you a traitor, so Lin Bobo will feel comforted if he knows."

Lin Pin's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle Yuan robbed the execution ground, but he couldn't escape, and finally died in the hands of the emperor. Although my father escaped by chance because of Uncle Yuan, he brought me Continuing to escape, along the way we received a lot of 'selfless' help from 'good friends', and in the end, I was the only one who escaped..."

Ruan Xixi was slightly moved, she could hear the irony in Lin Pin's words, those so-called good friends must not be simple.

I only heard Lin Pin intermittently said, "Xixi, I feel that my life is not just as simple as living alone. On my shoulders and behind me are the lives of more than a hundred members of my Lin family. I Life is very heavy, and every step is difficult. These people have died tragically before my eyes, and their fate reminds me all the time. If I live, I must be vicious to others so that I can stand firm. place of defeat."

When she finished speaking, a strange and miserable smile appeared on her face.

"This is how I live..."
