Traitor and Concubine Quan

"Lin Huhu, it seems that we have not had an easy time these days." After a long time, Ruan Xixi sighed softly, holding Lin Pin's face in her soft hands, looking at her with watery eyes, and smiled sassyly. Said, "I will never mention this matter again, don't worry."

Lin Pin breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay." She paused, pointed to the bedroom in the courtyard, and said, "I have ordered someone to take care of it, and you can live here. You lived here when you were young, you should I am familiar with it. I will send a capable girl to follow you, ready to be dispatched at any time, and talk to her if necessary."

Ruan Xixi looked in the direction she pointed, frowned and said, "You don't live in this yard?"

Lin Pin raised the corners of his lips teasingly, "You want me to live with you?"

Ruan Xixi shook her head and turned around, walked towards her bedroom, leaving a sentence, "It's late at night, Mr. Lin, please go back."

Lin Pin smiled slightly, walked up quickly, hugged Ruan Xixi's waist from behind, leaned his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Be careful when you go in and out, you'd better send someone to tell me, absolutely Do not let the Son of Heaven know of your existence."

Ruan Xixi's ears were reddened by the hot air from Lin Pin's speech, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.He paused for a moment before returning to God and replied, "I will be careful."

Only then did Lin Pin let her go, and stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching her walk into the room.The sky is bright and the moon is clear, and the one he loves is by his side. Such a beautiful scene makes Lin Pin feel a little unreal.

I really hope that the years to come will be as peaceful as today.

When Lin Pin returned to the front yard, he saw Miao Jun in black standing upright in front of the study, waiting for him.Lin Pin's temple twitched, feeling that Miao Jun's report would not be a good thing.

Sure enough, Miao Jun clasped his fists solemnly and reported, "My lord, I just received the news from Anyang Mansion," he paused, and said word by word, "Heguang Villa was wiped out overnight. More than 240 lives were lost, except for Gu Lei who disappeared."

Lin Pin's heart was shaken, his thoughts changed instantly, and he asked nervously, "Where's Gu Jin?!"

Gu Jin is like a father to Ruan Xixi, if something happens to him, I'm afraid Xixi will go crazy.

Miao Jun said quietly, "He was dismembered. The body was put together with great difficulty. The head was found in the stable. If it was a step later, it might have been eaten up by rats."

Lin Pin's face was gloomy, dignified like a piece of black iron, "Quickly ask Zhang Yuan to go to Anyang Mansion to sew up Gu Jin's body, make sure he looks decent, if Zhang Zhong can't do it, let him come to see me! "

"Yes!" Miao Jun glanced apprehensively at the side yard.

Lin Pin caught a glimpse of his expression and knew what he was worried about.Miao Jun, himself and Ruan Xixi stayed in Anyang Mansion for many days, maybe he guessed something.But in any case, he had to tell Ruan Xixi himself about the tragedy at Heguang Villa, and it was useless to conceal it.

Lin Pin looked at Ruan Xixi's yard from a distance, his mind was heavy.

Let her sleep well first, these days, her eyes are already a little bruised.

"My lord," the old housekeeper came in a hurry, his expression extremely nervous, his white beard trembled, and when he saw Lin Pin, his legs softened and he knelt down, "We have a visitor!"

This old butler has been with Lin Pin for many years, the people around Lin Pin are like flowing water, they will rotate every once in a while, only this old butler is an exception.He can be regarded as a well-informed man, but now he is in such a state of panic and panic.

Lin Pin's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at the gate.

So here he comes.

Seeing this, Miao Jun was hesitating whether to retreat or to meet the man with Lin Pin.But Lin Pin said calmly beside him, "Miao Jun, you can leave now."

Miao Jun was startled, and immediately understood that Lin Pin wanted him to avoid him, so he left as he said.

Lin Pin tidied up his robes, left the old butler and strode towards the front door alone, as if he was not afraid of that person at all.

Looking at Lin Pin's back, the old housekeeper couldn't help but worry about Lin Pin.

Although his master has always been able to win the emperor's favor, this time he found a beautiful woman for the emperor but returned empty-handed.This is something that has never happened before, and it is also something that has never happened before that the emperor went out of the palace late at night to look for Lin Pin regardless of safety.

Adding these two out of the ordinary things together, this huge Lin Mansion is going to be a major disaster.

The old butler took another look at the side yard that had been locked all the time, shook his head and couldn't help sighing.

What kind of character is this girl, and why does Master Lin seem so out of the ordinary?

When Lin Pin arrived at the gate, he saw a carriage with a beautiful roof and a covered roof. This carriage was drawn by four fine horses. The axle was a few inches wider than ordinary carriages. It was the emperor's carriage.

Accompanied by a row of ten, a total of four rows of black-armored guards, all of them were expressionless, and the cold black armor shone with a strange faint light in the night.

It was not Cui Sheng who stood beside the carriage, but another eunuch named Pang Deng.Lin Pin frowned when he saw him, and felt puzzled: Cui Sheng brought Xie Xiaorao back to Beijing to present to the emperor, and the emperor should reward him, so why is this inconspicuous Pang Deng accompanying him now?

Could it be that something happened to Cui Sheng on the way?Or is Xie Xiaorao's identity exposed early?

Lin Pin stepped forward and knelt by the side of the carriage, bowing respectfully.In my heart, I was extremely wary of the emperor who behaved strangely.It's no wonder that the old butler of the Lin Mansion is so flustered, and even Lin Pin himself is feeling uneasy at the moment, especially when Ruan Xixi is in the Lin Mansion.

"Lin Pin, you are so courageous!" The voice of the Son of Heaven in the carriage came out in a deep voice, with a sharp questioning tone, which made people feel terrified.

Pang Deng's whole body trembled obviously. He didn't have the confidence of Cui Sheng. He was only temporarily promoted to be the chief eunuch next to the emperor, but the former Cui Sheng in this position had disappeared.

Speaking of which, Pang Deng's seniority in the palace was older than Cui Sheng's, but Cui Sheng was someone who had always been by the emperor's side, serving him since the emperor was still the prince.At that time, Pang Deng was already in the palace, and only occasionally saw the prince leading Cui Sheng into the palace when he followed his master, the chief eunuch, to serve the emperor at that time.

Pang Deng Yuanyuan's face lost all blood, and was so pale that he couldn't be paler. He was afraid that he would be beheaded by the emperor on the first day he became the chief eunuch.

He secretly glanced at Lin Pin, but saw Lin Pin with his head down, his thin and thin body looked extremely weak in the night, which was pitiful.But Pang Deng knew that this poor-looking Lord Lin was a man with a vicious heart and a ruthless means, otherwise he would not have the same temperament as the emperor, and he has been showing off his power in the court for so long.

Besides, although the emperor's tone was a bit harsh, he didn't really blame Lin Pin for anything. Otherwise, according to the emperor's temper, he would have ordered Lin Pin to be dealt with without saying anything. Why would he come to his courtier's mansion late at night and even let Lin Pin People from the government notified him, but he was waiting in front of the door?

It can be seen that the rumors are true, Lin Pin is the emperor's taboo, and he is the darling of the emperor, the emperor treats Lin Pin very differently.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Lin Pin kowtowed authentically.

The current situation is still unclear, but before the Son of Heaven speaks out, he should not take the initiative to explain, otherwise he may reveal what he thinks in his heart.

The person in the carriage snorted coldly, "So you know you're guilty? Tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Pang Deng watched from the sidelines, although it was none of his business, he still sweated for Lin Pin.He came out with the emperor, but he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. If Master Lin said something wrong now, he would put an extra shit on his head. If things that the emperor didn't know were revealed at this moment, In the end, maybe it will anger the emperor.

Lin Pin said without hesitation, "I have committed two crimes. One is that I returned to Gyeonggi but did not immediately report to His Majesty the result of selecting a beautiful girl; the other is that I failed to select a beautiful girl for Your Majesty. Present him to His Majesty in time."

The emperor fell into silence.

Pang Deng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he didn't know how the emperor would deal with Lin Pin, and he felt extremely uncomfortable every moment after that.He was deeply afraid that he would be dragged down by Lin Pin and die tonight.

The black-armored imperial guard guarding the side of the emperor's car pressed the sword at his waist, as if waiting for the moment when the emperor ordered Lin Pin to be killed.

"Hahaha——" Suddenly, the emperor's hearty laughter came from the carriage. Hearing this laughter, the emperor was also very young. "Lin Pin, tell me, where is the beauty you selected for me? Why can't you offer it immediately? Isn't it in your house?"

Lin Pin said calmly, "Of course the women dedicated to His Majesty cannot live in the residence of the humble minister. If His Majesty wants to see them, he may have to endure it for one night. If His Majesty allows it tomorrow, Lin Pin can take His Majesty to meet them."

The emperor seemed to be very interested, "You are more and more able to whet my appetite, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"

"Lin Pin dare not."

The emperor pondered, "When you return to Gyeonggi in the future, you have to enter the palace first to see me at any time. I am very impatient to wait... This time you have been away for a long time, and I heard that you met the imperial sister on the way... "

Lin Pin's temple twitched.It seems that the Son of Heaven is still very concerned about Princess Si and his affairs, so he said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Princess Si has married to Nanhuo safely, and she should be married to King Nanhuo by now."

"I heard that you personally sent her to the envoy of Nanhuo?"

"Wei Chen watched the princess off with other officials of Anyang Mansion in front of the Prefect's Mansion."

"You never went out of the city to see you off?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lin Pin has never left the city to see off Her Highness the Princess."

The emperor finally said with a smile, "It's a credit for you to send the imperial sister to marry, and I will reward you."

The hands of the black-armored imperial guards resting their swords on their waists dropped to their sides again. Pang Deng also heard the emperor's calm tone, and felt that Lin Pin's crisis was over.So he was relieved.

Lin Pin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"In addition, I have something else to reward you." The emperor paused, and said with a slight smile, "I am very pleased that you found the Yuan family for me and sent it to the palace. Now you have two credits , how do you want me to reward you?"
