After King Rui left, Liu Yue immediately asked others, "Where is Jiaojiao?"

Rong'er said: "It has been sent to the suburbs of Beijing. When I left, I had a chat with Miss Jiaojiao. She seemed to be okay, and she was not really scared."

Liu Yue sighed softly: "The scariest one has been here before."

"Fortunately, King Rui also can't see the clue."

It was already the next day when Lin Yuan came to the princess mansion, his expression was full of rare anxiety.

When Liu Yue saw him, she subconsciously thought that there was an omission in what she told him a few days ago, so she also became nervous: "Which thing is wrong?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "The minister came to disturb the official business, not because of the official business, but..."

Liu Yue frowned, and said the second part for him: "Jiaojiao?"

"Yes."

Liu Yue's heart turned cold, and she asked slowly, "Have you been discovered?"

"I don't know, but what I can be sure of is that she is missing."

"Missing?"

Lin Yuan: "I know that Jiaojiao went to Beijing to look for the princess yesterday. After nightfall, the people I sent in the suburbs of Beijing sent news that she hadn't returned. I thought it was the princess who kept her overnight. Today I came to pick her up personally. Who knows that when I asked at the Princess Mansion just now, she actually left the Princess Mansion at noon yesterday. Jiaojiao now only has the minister and the princess, not in the suburbs of Beijing, nor in the mansion, there is no place to go. And the people who usually secretly protect her , and even disappeared, all signs... point to her having an accident."

Liu Yue was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word, her mind was even more messed up, and she couldn't allow her to think carefully.

"Princess?"

"I..." Liu Yue hesitated to speak.

"Does the princess know something?"

Liu Yue settled down, her eyes were complicated, and she said, "Maybe I really know."

"what?"

"Go to the place where she usually lives first."

While on the way, Lin Yuan faintly felt that something was wrong with Liu Yue.

What she expressed was not only worry, but also disappointment, expectation... mixed emotions.

Lin Yuan has already guessed seven or eight points.

The princess is often caught in the vortex of struggle, either she suffers or the people around her suffer, and now the younger sister is the person around her.

Lin Yuan's mind was deep, but more helpless.

After all, Lin Yunshu was happy.

Lin Yuan had seriously analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of staying with Liu Yue with her, and of course, there were more disadvantages.

But Lin Yunshu didn't mind.

What else can I do?

You can't get angry with the princess.

Liu Yue didn't let others handle it, and searched the house where she lived with Lin Yuan herself. After two moments, she finally found a talisman under the pillow: "I don't know these things, take a look."

Lin Yuan took it over, stared at it for a while, and said, "The peace talisman of Anqing Temple."

"When did she go to Anqing Temple?"

"If there are no omissions from the minister's staff, apart from staying in the house every day, she is going to the princess mansion, and she has not gone to Anqing Temple."

Liu Yue thought for a while, and said: "Anqing Temple is quite a distance away, and it is impossible for her to leave everyone and go alone."

"Princess has a clue?"

"I'm afraid this is a wayfinding talisman."

Lin Yuan's face was serious: "That's what the person who kidnapped Jiaojiao deliberately left behind."

"Anyway, I'm going to go."

"The minister will accompany you."

Liu Yue smiled helplessly: "Why are you so eager to announce that Jiaojiao is Lingmei Lin Yunshu?"

Lin Yuan thought it over and was reasonable, so he could only give up.

Surrounded by green trees, the temple is surrounded by coolness, no one is seen, no prayers are heard, and it is surprisingly quiet, as if it was specially arranged like this.

There was no one behind Liuyue, and even the hidden guards were scattered among the trees a little far away, it seemed that she was really alone.

She was not in a hurry to go in, but stood quietly outside the temple, as if waiting for something.

When the subtle sound of boots stepping on the steps reached her ears, Liu Yue turned her head and said softly, "Brother Huang."

King Rui's tone was very gentle: "Here we come."

"Waiting for you for a long time."

"The king knew you would come, but he didn't know when, so he waited here last night. This morning, he felt that the weather was fine, so he went up the mountain by himself. I didn't expect to keep you waiting for a long time."

Liu Yue was in a daze, the elder brother in front of her was so gentle that she didn't seem like someone who would kidnap Lin Yunshu.

But he is.

Liu Yue stabilized her mind and asked, "Why?"

"Yue'er, my king has a meditation room in Anqing Temple. I come here about two or three times a month. I just sit in the meditation room for a whole day without doing anything. I originally wanted to use this method to calm myself down. However, slowly, this king found that he was still not reconciled to what Emperor Ye's mother had done to him."

"It's just each other. As long as they are princes, no one can grow up safely, even Emperor Ye. The burn scar on his back has not disappeared. It has been so many years." Liu Yue paused and continued, " Although a long time ago, everyone guessed that the princes would be you, but the emperor never made a decision, how can this throne be regarded as someone who snatched it?"

"This king would rather be the one who gets hurt, than see them team up and brand my mother's family as criminals."

Liu Yue's eyes darkened slightly, and said: "King Rui, you later became the queen's stepson, and the criminal family has nothing to do with you, let alone disqualify you from competing."

King Rui raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Eldest Princess also has such naive moments."

Liu Yue was stunned and didn't say a word.

King Rui continued: "I don't know whether I am obsessed with the throne, or want to fight for it? But I have already reached this point, and I cannot retreat."

Liu Yue looked around and asked softly, "It's so quiet here, there's no one there, would you choose to kill me here?"

King Rui smiled and said: "You came alone, it is expected that this king will not kill you."

"You really won't, will you? I'm still useful to you, as long as I promise, I'll be of great use to you. "

King Rui wanted to touch her head as before, but he raised his hand and put it down immediately: "You are right."

"Have you thought about killing me before you have weighed the pros and cons?"

"I remember you said that I often have nightmares because I dreamed that someone was going to kill you. It turned out that it was really my fault."

"you answer me."

"I thought about it, I thought about killing you cruelly, so that Emperor Ye could be weakened, but after thinking about it, Emperor Ye really doesn't rely on you very much now, so I don't want to kill you anymore."

Liu Yue: "You speak so calmly, it hurts."

"When I decided to kill someone, I have already endured the suffering I should have suffered. Now I will say in tears that there is no need."

Liu Yue laughed: "You and Emperor Ye were very kind to me before, and they were not willing to embarrass me. As a result, one was renounced, and the other was also renounced."

"Central... I thought you were partial to Emperor Ye."

"Eccentric? Is it a little bit, he is younger, and we even watched his birth, so naturally we will take more care of him."

King Rui suddenly laughed out loud, with a sense of self-mockery: "Actually, I can be regarded as cruel-hearted."

"Are you going to be cruel to the end?"

"This king just said that there is no way to retreat." King Rui's eyes darkened, "You and I are really separated."

Liu Yue's eyes were a little sharper: "If you don't give up, you won't take my people away. Where are my people? Where's my Jiaojiao?"

"Jiaojiao?" King Rui pondered for a moment, "It's not Jiaojiao, it should be Lin Yunshu, the late concubine Lin, and even the first daughter of the important minister Lin's family."

Liu Yue started to have a headache again, stabbing and stabbing.

Fortunately, this headache did not prevent her from realizing that as long as she insisted that she was not, maybe King Rui could still be deceived.

"Lin Yunshu? How could I dig someone's body out of the mausoleum and leave her intact? Where did I come from with such a great skill?"

"You are very capable. You have deceived the Lin family, and even Emperor Ye."

"Ok?"

"You can be considered cruel, you really dare to set the fire, and you are not afraid of an accident, and you will really suffocate people inside."

Liu Yue: "There's no need to be surprised, people just suffocate inside like that."

"You want to fool me again."

"It's the emperor who wants to blackmail me."

King Rui: "Since you can't recognize her as Lin Yunshu, then I take her to Emperor Ye or the Lin family. Maybe they have better eyesight."

Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously: "That means she's still alive."

King Rui was startled, and said in disbelief: "You are most concerned about her safety, can you think about yourself, Eldest Princess."

"What can I have? At most, I will be threatened."

King Rui smiled: "Yes, I really want to use her to threaten you."

"Discovered yesterday? Or earlier?"

"In the past, I only knew that you had found a substitute. At most, I laughed at you as an infatuated person. Until yesterday, the king took a look at the Jiaojiao in your mouth, and he knew in his heart that the appearance can be changed, but it is difficult to form the charm for a long time. Abandon, think about it carefully, and you will understand how you cheated, and since then, this king has decided to gamble on whether you are really affectionate or not?"

Liu Yue remained silent, and King Rui continued, "It turned out that this king made the right bet."

"If I don't come, will you kill her?"

"It's already a discarded game, it doesn't matter if you kill it."

"You don't care about the Lin family at all."

"I have done this, so there is nothing to worry about."

Liu Yue chuckled: "You may not know that Lin Yuan looks calm, but he is actually quite ruthless."

King Rui was noncommittal.

Liu Yue cut to the chase and said, "You put forward conditions."

"Actually, as you can guess, all I want is just one thing. No matter what you have done in the past, from now on, stand by my king's side."

"What are your chances of winning?"

"do not know."

"Do you think I'll agree?"

"Do you want to see her? Your Jiaojiao."
