I don't read sage books

The author has something to say: Break it.

When Lin Qingyu woke up, he was already in the Chu Mansion. The wound on his neck had been bandaged, and his clothes had been changed. He was lying on the warm soft mattress, but he was so cold that he couldn't help shivering.

It took him a while to recover, and then the tragic situation of his brother appeared in front of his eyes, and he trembled even more violently.

Soon he found that he was not the only one in the inner room, the sky had gradually darkened, the sky outside the window was dim and gray, only one candle was lit in the inner room, the faint light fell on the figure standing in front of the screen, Half light and half dark.

Lin Qingyu sat up from the soft couch as if facing a formidable enemy, and looked at Chu Yan who was a few steps away.

Chu Yan's face was not in the shadows, he hadn't changed his clothes yet, the wound on his left arm stabbed by Lin Qingyu had stopped bleeding, but the blue cloth was stained crimson with blood, showing that the person who stabbed him used What a determination.

"woke up?"

Chu Yan's flat voice sounded in the dead silent room. He paced to the soft couch, condescendingly looked down at Lin Qingyu who was on guard all over, saw his hateful eyes and resisting posture, and sat down slowly, wanting to hold Lin Qingyu's hand. Lin Qingyu slapped his hand away fiercely, he didn't care, but stretched out his hand stubbornly again, Lin Qingyu didn't eat much for two days, just saw such a bloody scene again, tired physically and mentally, even though he struggled, finally Still held tightly by Chu Yan.

Lin Qingyu glared at Chu Yan angrily, and tried to pull his hand out, but Chu Yan glanced over, making him feel cold all over his body, and froze in place.

"I know you have a lot to ask me." Chu Yan held Lin Qingyu's cold hand, raised his eyes, "I'm right here, just ask."

Lin Qingyu clenched his teeth. He really wanted to push Chu Yan away, but he had no strength. After a long time, he opened his lips and choked up uncontrollably, "Who are you?"

Chu Yan said without moving for a moment, "My father is the king of Nanling."

Although guessing Chu Yan's identity is not easy, Lin Qingyu was still taken aback. He suppressed his fear and stared at Chu Yan, "My brother, why..."

He couldn't continue, and tried his best to control himself not to cry in front of Chu Yan.

"Qingyu, I know you have resentment in your heart, but the evidence of Lin Jingyun's smuggling of salt is solid..."

Before Chu Yan finished speaking, Lin Qingyu suddenly pulled out her hand forcefully, "I don't believe it, my brother would never commit such a crime of disobedience, you must have wronged him, Chu Yan, I don't believe every word you said , I want to ask my brother myself."

Lin Qingyu was about to get off the soft couch, but Chu Yan gritted his teeth and pulled him back. He was exhausted after fighting for the Lin family these two days, and he didn't have any more energy to explain to Lin Qingyu. Seeing Lin Qingyu like this He resisted himself fiercely, and couldn't help but feel a bit of anger in his heart.

He pushed Lin Qingyu back onto the soft couch, firmly grasped the person's hand and pressed it to his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was cold and stern, "What are you doing? Do you think that if you ask, things will change?"

Chu Yan's overly domineering attitude made Lin Qingyu resist more and more. Now he looks at Chu Yan like looking at an enemy, frantically trying to break free from Chu Yan's control, the corners of his eyes are red, tears welling up, and he said without hesitation, " It was you who killed my father and made my brother look like that, why should I trust you?"

Chu Yan felt as if someone had punched a hole in his heart. He looked at the person below him with hatred on his face. He couldn't help but fight back, smashing Lin Qingyu's delusion, "Your father He committed suicide in fear of crime. Lin Jingyun violated the laws of Ming Dynasty. He has a reason for his crimes. You keep saying that your brother is innocent. Then let me ask you, do you know what he has been doing these years? Can you say with a clear conscience, Is he really innocent?"

Chu Yan spoke eloquently, and each word was like a big stone hitting Lin Qingyu. He was startled, stopped struggling, and his eyes flickered violently.

"Lin Jingyun colluded with his relatives, the Su family, to make a large amount of money by making illegal salt shipments, to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and to fight against the current Holy Majesty. He deserves death."

Lin Qingyu couldn't accept such rhetoric. In his heart, his elder brother is the supreme mountain and river, an existence that cannot be defiled. Now Chu Yan beats his elder brother into a traitor and traitor with every sentence. How can he listen to it? Ups and downs, the tears in his eyes kept flowing, still refused to accept the reality, and said angrily, "Based on your one-sided words, you want to convict my brother," he cried so hard that he had to gasp for a word, " I want to go to Beijing and go to Beijing to sue the court, my brother will never collude with his relatives."

Chu Yan was angry because of his obsession. Lin Qingyu felt from the bottom of her heart that her elder brother was a sacred and inviolable god, but there is no emperor in the world. Pressing Lin Qingyu's wrist firmly, at this point, Lin Qingyu could no longer live in a dream.

"Who do you think is going to copy your Lin family's entire family? It's the current sage." Chu Yan brutally tore the facts for Lin Qingyu to see, his expression slightly distorted, "You want to sue the imperial court, whoever you sue, even if your Lin family is really innocent , but you are against the emperor, who would dare to stand up for your Lin family?"

Lin Qingyu was shaking non-stop, his jaws rattling up and down, he was like a man driven to a desperate situation, as long as he could grab a life-saving straw, he would hold on to it desperately, whoever dares to help the Lin family, who is in Shangjing, Lin Qingyu Qingyu's watery eyes lit up, and suddenly a name popped out, "Wei Lin."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and the end of his eyes twitched, "What did you say?"

Lin Qingyu struggled violently without saying a word. After Wei Lin's examination, he would be able to face the saint. He wanted to go to Beijing to ask Wei Lin to take him into the palace examination and avenge the Lin family's grievances.

Chu Yan was furious. He never expected that Lin Qingyu was still thinking about Wei Lin at this time, and he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming anger. He firmly pressed Lin Qingyu under his body and gritted his teeth, "You have never forgotten him?"

How much Lin Qingyu liked Chu Yan before, now it hurts so much to see Chu Yan, people are afraid of pain, he subconsciously wants to avoid, "Don't worry about it."

The blood in Chu Yan's eyes became more and more turbulent. He looked at Lin Qingyu who was trying to escape from his side, but felt ironic. It turned out that he had tried his best but still couldn't get Wei Lin out of Lin Qingyu's heart. He felt that he was ridiculous. When he did not hesitate to disobey the holy will to make a living for the Lin family, what Lin Qingyu wanted was to go to Beijing to beg Wei Lin.

What a big joke.

Chu Yan couldn't help but really smiled, but his face was like ice that would not melt for a thousand years. He pinched Lin Qingyu's chin and forced Lin Qingyu to look at him, his eyes were crazy, "Why do you want to be far away? You beg Wei Lin, You might as well ask me."

Lin Qingyu looked terrified, feeling that Chu Yan in front of her was too dangerous, she didn't dare to struggle anymore, and said blankly, "Please?"

"I am the crown prince, and the sage is my little emperor uncle, shouldn't you beg me?"

Lin Qingyu was in pain from being pinched by him, but she didn't dare to beg for mercy. He looked at Chu Yan distrustfully.

Such eyes made Chu Yan's heart ache, but he still looked straight at Lin Qingyu, enduring the pain and said slowly, "Do you know that the Xuanmen is the torture they used on your brother, you don't know No matter how powerful their methods are, even the most stalwart dead soldiers cannot survive for three days under their hands."

Fear was like a snake, fearing from the bottom of Lin Qingyu's feet upwards, he trembled all over.

"Do you know what will happen to them if your brother doesn't testify against Su's crime?"

"Have you ever heard of a person whose tendons and tendons were picked out? He couldn't even climb, and he could only live like a cripple for the rest of his life. Qingyu, do you want Lin Jingyun to become like that?"

Lin Qingyu's face turned pale with fright, her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter it.

"Tomorrow is the deadline. I'll take you to see Lin Jingyun. You persuade him to tell the evidence, otherwise, let alone him, none of your Lin family will survive."

Chu Yan spoke very lightly, but every word was like a knife cutting through Lin Qingyu's last fantasy little by little.

Lin Qingyu opened her lips, her voice was hoarse, "Don't..."

He didn't want his brother to be treated like that, it was more uncomfortable than wanting him to die.

Why did Chu Yan want to scare Lin Qingyu like this, but he was extremely angry, and it was really at the last moment. If Lin Jingyun really insisted on killing him, the ambush would come to naught, and the emperor would be angry. Who in the Lin family could survive?

"Qingyu," Chu Yan leaned over and kissed Lin Qingyu's trembling pale lips, the kiss was fleeting, "Only you can save your brother."

Lin Qingyu was already stunned. Seeing his dull expression, Chu Yan helped him to sit up and gently stroked his back to comfort him.

Originally there was only the sound of breathing, but Lin Qingyu suddenly said, "You approached me because of private salt."

Chu Yan paused, feeling flustered in his heart.

Lin Qingyu raised his tear-soaked eyes and looked straight at Chu Yan, as if he understood everything in an instant, he murmured, "You are really bearing the burden of humiliation."

Chu Yan's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he called out, "Sapphire."

Unspeakable fear and helplessness.

Lin Qingyu slowly curled himself up, as if caught in a nightmare, he had already accepted the reality, and just said, "Tomorrow I will persuade my brother."

Chu Yan clenched his fist, wanted to speak several times, and finally hummed.

He got up, but someone grabbed his cuffs. Lin Qingyu stretched out his hand from the robe, revealing the white jade bracelet on his wrist. He took off the white jade bracelet forcefully and firmly. Lifting the bracelet, from Chu Yan's line of sight, he could only see his hair twirling, and the dazzling white of his hands lying in front of his eyes.

Lin Qingyu said softly, "I'll give it back to you."

On New Year's Eve, Chu Yan gave him a white jade bracelet and told him that once he put it on, he was not allowed to take it off, but it was only in March, and things changed.

Chu Yan closed his eyes, his hands shook slightly, and he took a step outside without saying a word.

"I don't want it anymore," Lin Qingyu raised her head, her face covered with tears, and said resolutely, "Chu Yan, I don't want it anymore!"

Saying that, he threw the white jade bracelet towards Chu Yan's back.

The white jade bracelet hit Chu Yan's feet, cracked in two with a crisp ding.

Lin Qingyu burst into tears silently. He buried his face in his arms, feeling that he was also torn in two.

He saw with his own eyes that Chu Yan rushed into the gate of his Lin Mansion with officials, and in just one day, his family was ruined.

He lost his mother at the age of five, and now, even his father has passed away, and his elder brother may be in danger of his life in prison.

It doesn't matter whether Chu Yan approached him because of private salt.

The back figure a few steps away did not move for a long time, Chu Yan closed his eyes forcefully, bent down and held the truncated white jade bracelet in the palm of his hand, the white jade bracelet seemed to still have Lin Qingyu's body temperature, which burned Chu Yan's palm.

Chu Yan walked out of the inner room like a walking corpse. Outside the house, it was already dark, and the surroundings were filled with lanterns, but he felt that he could not see the light.

Shen Ling was standing in the yard waiting for him, he was in a daze but walked out step by step steadily, until he walked in front of Shen Ling.

"Qingyu him?" Shen Ling saw that something was wrong with Chu Yan.

"A secret letter," Chu Yan said slowly, "I invite you to spare the lives of the brothers of the Lin family."

"Young master, the Holy Majesty has issued a decree..." Chu Yan is a member of the royal family. Even if the emperor's dragon wings were pulled out today, he still taboos the royal family's bloodlines to disobey. Think of today's piles of violations.

"I don't want him to die," Chu Yan suddenly got angry, clutching Shen Ling's skirt forcefully, his eyes were bloodshot, "I don't want Lin Qingyu to die."

Chu Yan lost his strength and could no longer pretend to be calm. Fragments of the white jade bracelet pierced his palm, staining the jade with blood. Walk slowly.

Shen Ling saw that Chu Yan's back, which was always straight, was now slightly bent, and it was so difficult to walk.

At the beginning of spring, he suddenly realized that Chu Yan, who seemed to be strategizing and far-sighted, was actually just a young man who was not yet eighteen.
