Traitor and Concubine Quan

Pang Deng was puzzled when he heard this, it was clearly Cui Sheng who brought Miss Yuan back to the palace, but why did it suddenly become Lin Pin's credit?He glanced at Lin Pin out of the corner of his eye, but saw Lin Pin's face was calm.

Lin Pin said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I would like to select some suitable soldiers from His Majesty's Imperial Guards to be trained as the new twelve guards."

The emperor said, "Oh? Then what about Miao Jun, do you want more?"

"Commander Miao Shi's martial arts is very strong, and I still want to keep him, but the rest of the officers and soldiers look down on me."

The emperor replied, "Okay, I promise you." He paused for a moment, and then said, "You have made two great contributions, and the small twelve guards are not enough to reward you. In my opinion, you should be rewarded separately. Nan Among the dowry gifts from Huo, there is a bow made of gloomy wood, and I will give it to you as a reward."

Lin Pin used to be good at bows and arrows, but later Princess Si was better than Lan after being blue.Nan Huo used a rare gloomy wooden bow as a dowry gift to marry Princess Si, but now this dowry gift has fallen into Lin Pin's hands. This is really a trick of fate.

Lin Pin knew that the Son of Heaven was still brooding over the relationship between her and Princess Si, so he declined, "Bows and arrows are useless, I want another thing in the betrothal gift."

"What?"

Lin Pin recalled Ruan Xixi's heroic sword dance, and pursed his lips, "That soft sword."

"Oh? Could it be that Aiqing fell in love with sword dancing after she went to Anyang Mansion to participate in the martial arts conference?" the emperor asked.Obviously the Son of Heaven knew Lin Pin's every move very well, but how much did he know about Ruan Xixi?

Lin Pin couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, she had never been afraid of the emperor staring at her actions, but this time because of Ruan Xixi she had to guard against the person sent by the emperor.Although the former twelve guards were all dead, Miao Jun seemed honest and honest, especially for Xixi, he would not betray Xixi, but Lin Pin couldn't guard against others.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Pin's back. If the emperor is obsessed with Ruan Xixi's identity, how should he protect her?

"The Anyang Mansion and his party made Weichen understand that no matter how strong the guards around him are, it's still not as good as Weichen practicing some self-defense martial arts. If Weichen knows some martial arts by himself, he might be able to save his life in an emergency."

The emperor laughed softly, "That's true, I think you also need to strengthen your physique."

"Yes." Lin Pin cupped his fists, seeing that he never mentioned Ruan Xixi, he felt a little more at ease.

"I also heard that when you were in Anyang Mansion, there was a woman by your side all the time. Lin Pin, who is that woman?"

Lin Pin's heart sank suddenly, and he thought: What should come is still here.But on the other hand, the Son of Heaven's question made Lin Pin a little calmer, because if the Son of Heaven clearly knew about Ruan Xixi's existence but kept silent about it, the situation would only be worse.

"The woman is beautiful and delicate. I planned to present it to His Majesty, but accidentally ruined her appearance, so I left her in Anyang Mansion to fend for herself."

Lin Pin cautiously raised his head to look at the curtains of the carriage. The curtains were tightly closed, and the expressions of the people inside could not be seen at all.This made Lin Pin's heart grip tightly.

Even after getting along with the emperor for three years, sometimes he still can't figure out his temper.

"So that's the case, Aiqing has worked hard." The emperor pondered, with a steady tone, "Since you found the daughter of the Yuan family, I will not pursue this matter."

Lin Pin frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, the person who found Yuan's daughter was not a humble official, but Cui Changshi."

Pang Deng was terrified when he heard the emperor's intention, obviously he wanted to reward Lin Pin with the credit, but Lin Pin didn't know what was good and bad, and directly refuted the emperor's intention. Isn't this courting death? !

Sure enough, although the Son of Heaven never showed his face, his silence was brewing a violent storm.There was an eerie atmosphere surrounding the carriage, making people afraid to approach it, and even their breathing was almost stagnant.

Pang Deng was closest to the emperor's carriage, and he could feel the chilling and suffocating atmosphere the most.He didn't dare to move, he stood beside the carriage like a dead body, his round fat face was filled with horror.

After a long time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted with a "swipe--" and a young man wearing a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns came out. Although this man was handsome, his face was full of hostility, and his eyes revealed a fierce look , hooked nose, thin and cool lips, sharp and murderous eyes are staring at Lin Pin with his head bowed.

"Lin Pin," his voice was extremely low, as if coming from the gloomy underground, "You found the daughter of the Yuan family, and Cui Sheng just brought it back for you, didn't you?"

He was clearly emphasizing that the credit belonged to Lin Pin, but Lin Pin still didn't appreciate it. If he took the credit, then when Xie Xiaorao's identity was revealed, he might be implicated.The emperor's preference for Lin Pin seems to have forced Lin Pin into a dead end at this moment.

Lin Pin's heart trembled when he saw the anger in the emperor's eyes.It seemed that I had really touched his reverse scale, that's why his expression became so terrifying at this moment.Forget it, if he resists him again at this moment, he is afraid that he will die in the next moment, so if he can delay it for a while, it will count as a moment.

The emperor's move unintentionally brought the fate of Lin Pin and Xie Xiaorao together, which made Lin Pin dumbfounded.

"It's the humble minister who is confused, it's true, Your Majesty is wise, nothing can escape His Majesty's eyes."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he sneered, "Cui Sheng wanted to take your credit, but I have already thrown him into the sky prison. He told everything, and I will execute him. Lin Qing, what method do you think I should use to execute him?" What about him? It’s no fun to roast it over a blazing fire, and it’s no fun to fry it on a copper pillar. The frying they mentioned last time is processed too quickly..."

With a thought in mind, Lin Pin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Cui Changshi didn't hide the fact that Wei Chen brought Miss Yuan back to Beijing to take credit for it, but after discussing with Wei Chen, he felt that those people from the rivers and lakes would hinder us from bringing Miss Yuan back to Beijing. Miss Yuan returned to Beijing, so the troops were divided into two groups. I was responsible for leading them away as the guide, and Changshi Cui brought Miss Yuan back to Beijing. Thanks to Changshi Cui's disregard for safety, we were able to bring Miss Yuan back safely to present to Your Majesty .”

The Son of Heaven asked, "Is that true?"

Lin Pin was extremely determined, "Exactly."

The Son of Heaven sized up Lin Pin's face with heavy eyes, and slowly, the hostility in his eyes was gradually fading away.He got out of the carriage, walked up to Lin Pin with his hands behind his back, looked at her pointedly, "Lin Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time, raise your head and let me see if you have lost weight."

When Lin Pin raised his head, he had already put on a warm smiling face.

The emperor's gaze softened a bit, "It's true that I lost some weight and got tanned." His eyes moved slightly, and he slowly raised his hand to Lin Pin's face.

But Lin Pin avoided it slightly, turned his face sideways and said, "Your Majesty, where is Miss Yuan now, and what does Your Majesty plan to do with her?"

The outstretched hand of the Son of Heaven hung in the air, startled, and then retracted.

"I placed her in the palace," said the emperor, turning his back, "Now I will go back to the palace to pamper her."

Lin Pin shouted from behind, "Your Majesty—"

The emperor's face seemed to be happy, but when he turned his head, he still had a gloomy expression, "What's the matter?"

"Is it your fault that Heguang Villa was destroyed?" Lin Pin asked with difficulty.If he is the emperor, how should he explain to Xixi?Where is Gu Lei, and why is he the only one missing?All of this made Lin Pin feel confused.

The Son of Heaven smiled coldly, turned his back to Lin Pin again, "Those people dared to harbor traitors, so I sent people to kill these traitors."

Lin Pin's heart sank heavily. She looked at the young man in the bright yellow imperial robe in front of her. She relied on him for her power and status, but he wiped out the whole family of Heguang Villa and brutally killed Gu. People from Jin...

Lin Pin couldn't imagine Ruan Xixi's reaction after hearing all this, but she could be sure of one thing, Ruan Xixi would never remain silent again!

Pang Deng had a thrilling night, and now seeing that the emperor had negotiated with Lin Pin and planned to leave, he was completely relieved.He patted his head, and thought to himself: I don't know how long I can keep you, but it's best that Master Lin can rescue Cui Changshi, and he can live for a while longer.

When he drove away with him, he took another look at Lin Pin.Lin Pin is probably the only person who can bargain with the emperor.In the future, he should have more contact with Master Lin to please him. When it is critical, only Lin Pin can save his life.

After the emperor's carriage left, Lin Pin stood alone in front of Lin's mansion for a long time, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and what flashed by was the lovely and beautiful Ruan Xixi's face, whose eyes were always shining with touching light .

The old butler of Lin's mansion saw that the emperor's carriage had already left from a distance, so he came out and stood beside his master. Seeing that Lin Pin had been silent for a long time, he couldn't help but concerned, "My lord, it's cold in the night Now, you should go home early to rest, right?"

Lin Pin, however, was like a statue, and remained silent for a while.

Just as the old butler was sighing, he saw Lin Pin suddenly turn around and walk towards the mansion with strides, which turned into a trot in the end.

The old butler was surprised and hurriedly followed.But he saw Lin Pin running wildly all the way, through the front door, across the backyard garden, and pushed open the side yard door with his palm.

The dim light of the lanterns in the hallway of the mansion swept across her elegant and beautiful face one after another, casting hazy shadows passing by on the ground.

The old butler stopped outside the side yard, knowing in his heart that he couldn't follow.

Ruan Xixi was startled to realize that someone was standing silently at the head of her bed, and was about to slap him with a palm, but saw that person's face as cold as the moonlight, and there was a kind of emotion in her eyes that she had never seen before. Wink.

"Lin Fox, you—"

Lin Pin hugged her tightly, and said clearly in her ear, "Ruan Xixi, I want to marry you."
