The Emperor of the Red Chamber is a

No one went there, and now there are soldiers surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, no matter whether they came to investigate the death of the Seventh Prince, just the attitude of those in power is enough to make people feel cold.

"Stop! I'm Lin Ruqian! Who dares to act presumptuously in the Zhuxuan?!" Lin Ruqian yelled, putting her hands on her knees, panting violently.

No matter what other people's faces were like, after taking a breath, Lin Ruqian pushed aside the guards, walked to the middle, and hugged the trembling sixth prince.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back."

The sixth prince's lips were pale and bloodless, and he trembled twice. "Brother Ruqian..." Before he finished speaking, he looked like he was about to cry.

After all, he was only nine years old, a child.

Lin Ruqian sighed and hugged him tightly. "I'm back, I'll watch over you, it's all right!"

"Brother Ruqian, where have you been? They want to search the Zhuxuan, and they say that we are harboring a murderer... I'm so scared, Brother Ruqian, I'm so scared..." The sixth prince snuggled into his arms, trembling.

Lin Ruqian patted his head, "It will be fine."

"Lin Shidu, please do me a favor, here are not only the guards in the palace, but also the officials from Dali Temple, the law of heaven is clear. Lin Shidu, you can't hinder the brothers from handling the case for the sake of kindness, right?" The one headed by a man in green official uniform.Middle-aged, with two sets of beards.

"Lin Ruqian's little attendant, how dare you hinder the adults?" Lin Ruqian curled the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes. "Your Excellency kept saying that Ruqian hindered everyone, but please give me an explanation."

"You are very eloquent, we must not be able to speak against you." Someone snorted.

"If there is no basis for the words, it is believed that the murderer is hiding in the bamboo pavilion, which really makes people look down on Dali Temple." Lin Ruqian said lightly.

"Of course there is evidence, and witnesses have been brought to the place they should go."

Lin Ruqian spread her hands and said jokingly: "Look, you only said that there is a witness, who is the witness? What did the witness say at the beginning? Can you be sure that the witness is telling the truth? You and I don't know at all. That's it Wouldn't it be fair to search one of the palaces?"

The visitor choked out a sigh of relief, "I am here under the order of my superiors to search, and I also ask Mr. Lin to make way for the brothers."

Lin Ruqian said: "I also obeyed the order of my master, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, not to let you in. Please brothers also make way for Ruqian."

"Lin Ruqian! Are you really going to cover up the murderer?" The man in the middle said angrily.

"Who are you? Ruqian is young and ignorant, and hasn't asked the adults for their names."

"Prince Teng of Dali Temple." The man cupped his hands casually, "Master Lin doesn't recognize me, but I should remember my brother-in-law Jia Zhengcai."

It turned out that he was the later pillar of the royal family, Prince Teng. It's a pity that Fu Bo left early and couldn't take care of the four major families. Since then, the royal family has declined and disappeared among the powerful.

Lin Ruqian smiled: "So it's Shixiong, Ruqian is so polite."

"I only ask about the emperor's order here, not about relatives." The prince said in a loud voice, "If Mr. Lin is unwilling to cooperate, don't blame the brothers for not giving you face!"

The four major families now acquiesce that Lin Ruqian is the leader, and everything Lin Ruqian does is the will of the four major families.With Wang Ziteng's actions now, is he trying to establish himself, or is he trying to break away from Lin Ruqian's control?

The Wang family can't go up to the sky, and they can't go down to the ground. Wang Ziteng blatantly turned against Lin Ruqian. Is it his own intention or the intention of everyone in the Wang family?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruqian narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "I don't know whose imperial order you are entrusting?"

"...His Royal Highness was ordered to investigate this case."

"It turned out to be an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Ruqian smiled coldly, "Ruqian is not talented, just came back from the East Palace, and has been chatting with His Highness the Crown Prince, but I don't know when His Royal Highness issued the order."

"It was an order from His Highness the Crown Prince earlier." Wang Ziteng replied, "I don't have the guts to pass on the will of His Highness the Crown Prince. This is a crime of beheading. I have no one to protect me."

There is no way to resist it any longer, only to delay the time.

Lin Ruqian immediately smiled, "Since it is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, everyone should go in and check."

His arms were suddenly tightened by someone, and when he looked down, it turned out to be the sixth prince. The sixth prince's eyes were flustered, and when he saw him looking over, he lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

Lin Ruqian's heart shuddered, and she looked straight at him.

"My lord, please come inside." Seeing him let him go, Wang Ziteng's expression changed a lot, "It is the residence of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince after all, brothers do not dare to offend, please move your Highness."

The sixth prince was hugged by Lin Ruqian, his body was stiff, his throat moved, and he didn't say a word.

Lin Ru said with a slight smile, "It's natural." He looked at Wang Ziteng, pretending not to care, "The witness gave some clues? Or did he see the traits of the murderer?"

Wang Ziteng gave him a strange look, "It's not true, the person proved to be the seventh prince's nurse, saw someone sneakily scratching at the seventh prince's body, grabbed the scissors beside him, and severely scratched the thief. Don't worry about Lin Shidu, the brothers don't rummage, they only look for the wounded person."

"Scissors? Is there blood on the road?"

"There was no blood. When the wet nurse scratched the man, she didn't see the height and appearance clearly. She only knew that she scratched the arm. The mourning hall is dark, and you know that even if you are three feet away, you can't see anyone."

Lin Ruqian sneered, "I didn't see any blood, and I couldn't see his face or height. How can you be sure that the people from Zhuxuan did it? Didn't someone see the murderer coming this way?"

Wang Ziteng hesitated for a moment, "It is said that something was left behind. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has checked, and it is something that only Zhuxuan has."

Everyone knows about Zhuxuan's treatment. It was not good before, but now for Lin Ruqian, he has gradually become more sensual. It's just that Lin Ruqian doesn't pay much attention to the things around him. As long as it doesn't involve the sixth prince, he is always No matter.So the people in the House of Internal Affairs have learned to be smart. What is in the other palaces, there is also what is in the Zhuxuan, and there are not many.

If there is really something more, it must be rewarded by the emperor.

For example, the purse on Lin Ruqian's body, some accessories she wears, and the cloth she wears for making clothes.

Lin Ruqian looked at the sixth prince without any trace, the clothes were not the same as those at noon.

He held the sixth prince's arm and exerted all his strength. The sixth prince groaned and buried his head in his arms without moving.

"His Highness is not feeling well, I will take him in first. Your Excellency is at your own discretion."

Wang Ziteng's eyes dodged for a moment, and he turned to let him go. Not long after Lin Ruqian entered the door, he heard a report from the outer courtyard, "I found a bloody shirt and buried it at the foot of the tree in the back kitchen. Undoubtedly." "All the palace personnel have been searched, and no one has any injuries on their arms."

"So..." Wang Ziteng turned around, bowed towards the door and said, "Please come out for a while, Your Highness and Lin Shidu, the Zhuxuan has been searched, only His Highness and Lin Shidu are left..."

The door slammed open, and Lin Ruqian stood there, clutching her arms, with a smile on her face.

"That's all, it's not a big deal, I'll let you go for a while, shall I?"

"Master Lin? You..." "Your Majesty Lin, you should think about it. This is not a crime that can be easily taken down. Murdering the prince, hmph, even if the emperor wants to protect you, it can't match the rules set by the ancestors." Ah." Wang Ziteng smiled lightly.

"Whether I murdered the prince or not is not up to you. Send me to see the official in charge."

"Master Lin's righteousness, I admire it." Wang Ziteng looked at the sixth prince behind the door, "It's just..."

Lin Ruqian blocked his line of sight, "You, a small Dali Temple official, are worthy to go up and ask His Highness?"

"I really don't deserve it." Wang Ziteng smiled coldly, "I didn't expect Lin Shidu, who was always in the limelight, to be imprisoned for a day. It's really unbelievable. Tell me, if Your father knows that your purpose is to take the blame for the master..."

Lin Ruqian was already impatient, so she punched Wang Ziteng in the face, turning his head away.

"Your Highness is pure and innocent, how can you allow you to commit crimes?! This matter has not been investigated clearly, who dares to talk nonsense!?" He stared at Wang Ziteng, "Lin Ruqian recognizes the sky, the earth, the mother, and the emperor... Father doesn't even know what my situation is now, does he?"

Wang Ziteng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Lin Ruqian, you are good enough!"

"I will return this sentence to you, Mr. Wang, if your father knows what you have done, I am afraid that he will be disappointed."

Wang Ziteng kept silent.

Lin Ruqian stood there coldly, blood dripping down the sleeve, staining the ground under her feet.

"Brother Ruqian..." the sixth prince called him, his eyes were red, "Don't take him away, it's me..."

"Shut up!" Lin Ruqian had never disobeyed him, let alone stopped him in such a harsh tone, the sixth prince trembled and shrank his neck.

"I know Your Highness is reluctant to part with me, but I...you will be fine." Lin Ruqian forced a smile and stroked his hair.

"I... I shouldn't..." The sixth prince lowered his head, tears rolling down, not daring to look at him.

Lin Ruqian sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep His Highness from growing up, and it's only a matter of one life. When it's time to take it, let them take it."

He was not sure whether he would die because of this, but it was a pity that the sixth prince was still so young.He had long treated the sixth prince as his own child, and suddenly knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to meet each other again, his heart was bleeding, and his internal organs were aching.

"Brother Ruqian! I don't allow... You are not allowed to leave me... It's my fault, it's my fault! Brother Ruqian..." The sixth prince hugged his thigh and cried loudly.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Lin Ruqian held up his collar for fear of being seen, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with being His Highness. I hope Your Highness will remember this."

"Brother Ruqian... If you are gone, what should I do? Brother Ruqian, don't leave..."

"Say silly things." Lin Ruqian's eyes turned red, her throat choked up, "After I leave...Your Highness must take care of yourself, use your brain in everything, don't act on your will, eat more, and don't be picky..."

It was almost time, Lin Ruqian stood up, and the Dali Temple official next to him chained him up, the sixth prince knelt on the ground and cried loudly, the group was about to leave.

Suddenly a black horse ran straight up, and immediately the eunuch in Tsing Yi yelled: "Slow! The emperor has ordered that this case be transferred to Zhengming Palace for trial, and everyone in Dali Temple will leave the palace immediately!"

The sixth prince hastily wiped away his tears, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The author has something to say: the next chapter... there must be something good

Yesterday I promised that everyone would add updates, but I couldn't log in anyway.sorry. T^T

30 You understand, please leave 0 points for email

Only then did the crowd come to their senses, kneeling down and shouting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Regardless of Wang Ziteng's expression, Lin Ruqian glanced at the sixth prince, who blinked and lowered his head.

"Shidu Lin, please." The eunuch in Tsing Yi said with a smile, "The emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Ruqian mounted his horse with him and soon arrived at Zhengming Hall.

Zhengming Hall, as the emperor's big study, naturally has its special features, for example, courtiers are not allowed to enter, Zhengming Hall is not allowed to see blood, etc.

It seems that the emperor is determined to keep him. To get the amulet of the emperor is no better than the gold medal for avoiding death.

As soon as he entered the hall, a memorial was smashed on the ground in front of him, and Emperor Dexuan's angry voice accompanied by the sound of smashing the table rang in his ears. "Bitch!"

I don't know if it's the sixth prince or him.Of course, the latter is probably more likely.Lin Ruqian knelt down obediently, "I am guilty."

"Convicted guilty!? What crime do you know? Niezi! Niezi!" Emperor Dexuan slapped the table heavily, "Murdering the prince is a capital crime! Do you know that? I really think I can protect you no matter what you do ?you you……"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Emperor Dexuan gasped and coughed: "What a smart woman your mother is? How could she give birth to such a stupid son like you! Look at what you are doing!"

Having a child is not only due to the mother, but also thanks to the other half of the gene provider.Of course, Lin Ruqian would not refute at this time.

"I deserve death for my crimes." Lin Ruqian knelt on the ground with a low voice.

A teacup hit him in front of him, splashing hot tea that scalded the back of his hand, Lin Ruqian remained motionless.

"You deserve ten thousand deaths? You deserve ten thousand deaths!? You can say it?" Emperor Dexuan was furious, "If you were not her child, even if you died thousands of times, I wouldn't feel sorry for you, but she would just leave you alone." Give me such a flesh and blood! What do you want from me?!"

When it was time to bow her head, Lin Ruqian still wouldn't stiffen her neck.

"It's the minister who didn't think carefully, I'm sorry for the emperor's far-reaching intentions..."

"The thing you are most sorry for is your mother." Emperor Dexuan came to him, "If you die, have you thought about how to face the mother who gave birth to you and raised you?"

"Yes."

"Then you live well! Don't cause me these things, I feel sad when I see you!"

The room was silent.

For a long time, Emperor Dexuan patted his forehead, as if he was remembering something, but also seemed to be thinking, and finally sighed: "You go to the northwest to join the army, and I will give you a general position. You can travel far and save money." Those old ministers are nagging, remember to save your own life. It doesn’t matter if you lose the battle, the most important thing is your life... I will hand over the hidden guards to you, no matter what, save your life. When you come back, I will I will credit you with all the merits and give you the title of marquis. With military merits, they can't say anything more."

"northwest?"

"What? You don't want to? This is the best way I can think of. If I don't send you far away and give you another chance to climb up, do you want you to waste your life like this? I can give you You have been rich and honored all your life, but you just don't know if you are willing to be a useless person!"

Lin Ruqian shook her head. "Your majesty has worked so hard, I am grateful."

"You don't need to be grateful." Emperor Dexuan was so angry that he hadn't recovered yet, "I just need to be worthy of my heart."

What kind of attachment is this, to have a crush on a woman, to the point where she can't forget her more than ten years after her death, and even take care of the woman's children.

The corner of Lin Ruqian's mouth twitched.

"One more thing, Meng Song is your senior brother, right? How is your relationship?" The emperor seemed to have thought of something suddenly. After seeing Lin Ruqian say "Shang Jia", he nodded and said, "His father is a general. , I am going to send him to practice, I have already agreed. You have a good relationship, let's go on the road together."

"Yes."

Emperor Dexuan caught this incident so muddled and caught him off guard. Everyone guessed that if Lin Ruqian did it, the emperor would definitely favor Lin Ruqian. The prince is not even charged with crimes, it makes people have to sigh how favored Lin Ruqian is.

He doesn't want to go back to Zhuxuan for the time being, and he still needs to hide from his new residence, and he doesn't even want to go to Jia's mansion. The presence of Prince Teng means that it will take a long time for him to use all the four big families for his own use.Now is the time to rest and prepare for "distribution" tomorrow, and he doesn't want to weigh what to do next.

The only place to go is the residence of old friend Zhao Mengsong.Zhao Mengsong had a quarrel with his family a few days ago, and then moved out. His father was so angry that he was half dead. As a result, this kid was free to enjoy himself in his own den.

The family members in the other courtyard knew him and didn't stop him, but the old housekeeper reminded him in a low voice. "My lord begged to see the emperor today, but was rejected. When he came back, he lost his temper, drank too much wine, and went to bed early."

Now that you're here, I'd better go see him and feed him a hangover pill.Lin Ru smiled slightly, "I'll go on my own, the old housekeeper doesn't need to greet me."

The old butler led him to the gate of the main courtyard responsibly. A young man pushed the door and came out, his face was flushed and embarrassed. When he saw them, he ran away without saying a word.

Lin Ruqian felt that his face looked familiar and was thinking about it. Seeing the old housekeeper looking at him, she said, "The servants in the house are too timid, and I don't eat people, haha."

The old butler nodded and knocked on the door, "Master, Master Lin is here to see you."

Zhao Mengsong responded sullenly. "Don't lie to me, why did he come, maybe he is still by his little prince's side now."

Lin Ruqian listened amusedly, went in directly, smiled at the old housekeeper, and closed the door.

It seemed that he really drank too much wine, Zhao Mengsong lay on the table, motionless, the room smelled of alcohol, Lin Ruqian took his wine glass, "Zhao Mengsong, what's the point of drinking alone? You can also drink vigorously. "

"Ruqian? You're here?" Zhao Mengsong looked at him firmly, and then lowered his head, "It seems to be my hallucination again. You must be with the little prince, why did you come to me..."

Lin Ruqian couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Highness is not my wife, why should I be with him all day long? It's you, we've been friends for so many years, and now you're not living well, how can I leave you? Hey Alcoholic, be careful if you drink too much and get up with a headache tomorrow morning."

"Don't care about me like this!" Zhao Mengsong suddenly grabbed his hand and choked up for a while, "Lin Ruqian...you hurt me..."

"Yes, yes, I'm a villain, okay?" Lin Ruqian followed his words, "Go to bed and rest, I'll fetch a basin of water to wipe you off."

Drunk people are unreasonable, Lin Ruqian knew it a long time ago, and didn't want to argue with him.

"Lin Ruqian! You...you don't know anything...give me the wine, and I'll drink it!" Zhao Mengsong staggered, and Lin Ruqian simply pinched his chin and fed him a hangover pill, "Be good! Lie down."

Although Zhao Mengsong came from a military family, his health has been poor since he was a child. Coupled with his mother's doting, his arm strength is naturally inferior to that of Lin Ruqian who exercises regularly. He was crushed on the bed and still struggling.

"Lin Ruqian! You bastard! You...you fucking!"

When did he offend Zhao Mengsong, why didn't he have any memory?

He simply sat on the head of the bed, "Why did I hurt you, tell me. You have to let me die clearly, right?" Although it is a bit unkind to ask a drunk person now, isn't this the most direct way?

Zhao Mengsong covered his face with his arms, sobbing softly.

So, being drunk is the most embarrassing thing. Seeing Zhao Mengsong's miserable state, Lin Ruqian decided not to drink too much in this life.

"Lin Ruqian...I like you."

What he said was inaudible, but Lin Ruqian didn't hear it, she leaned her ear closer and listened carefully, but she was hugged, just as Lin Ruqian was about to smile and clean him up, her ears got wet, Zhao Mengsong's face was blushing , eyes half-opened, and kissed his ears piously and earnestly.

"You're enough." Lin Ruqian pushed him away, "You want my beauty, don't you?" He touched Zhao Mengsong's handsome face like a hooligan, "I will wait until you go to Thailand for an operation, so I can't wait to see it. See if it fits."

Zhao Mengsong seemed to be crying but not laughing, "You don't understand anything, leave me alone, like a fool..."

"What do I not understand?" Lin Ruqian wondered.

"Ruqian..." Zhao Mengsong slid his throat twice, and then said out with a smile, "I like you, I like you very much, not between brothers, but... but wanting..."

Lin Ruqian felt like being struck by lightning.

"You're really fucking drunk. I'll go out first."

"I told you that I like you! What do you want from me?!" Zhao Mengsong was furious all of a sudden, stretched his arms, and grabbed Lin Ruqian by the collar, "Why do you play with my feelings? That little prince What's the point!? You want to follow him like a bastard, and you don't even want your own life! Tell me! I can't compare to him...I'm willing to do anything for you...I'm willing to be fucked by you..."

"You have a good rest..." Lin Ruqian pulled his hand away.Then it suddenly occurred to him that the face of the boy who ran out just now was seven or eight times like his own.A strange feeling arises spontaneously.

Zhao Mengsong chuckled lowly, refusing to let go, and slumped on Lin Ruqian's shoulders, "I can give you what he can give you. Do you want the throne? Do you want power? Okay, what do you want? I'll give you anything, as long as you... No, I don't ask for anything, just love me once, okay?"

"You're crazy!" Lin Ruqian gritted her teeth and threw him away.

Zhao Mengsong's head hit hard on the wooden bed, he clutched his bleeding forehead, opened his eyes, tears filled all his vision.Lin Ruqian stood there with her back straight, staring at him coldly and indifferently.

Sure enough... still can't do it?

He suddenly laughed out loud, buried his face in the quilt, covered himself tightly, and used the strength to drown himself alive.

He has tried everything, but he can't forget this person, his smiling eyes, and his bright smile.How could this be, the two were originally good brothers, weren't they?How could I have such a disgusting thought?But what can he do?

Suppress yourself?No, he has suppressed enough!Seeing the sixth prince's squeamish face made him feel disgusted, how could the person he likes stick to such a thing for a lifetime and treat the sixth prince so well?

Lin Ruqian... She should be free, aloof, with the arrogance of a teenager, instead of groveling in that place where people cannibalize her!How could he be willing to...

"Zhao Mengsong, I just want to ask you one question, you..."

He threw off the quilt like crazy, and grabbed Lin Ruqian's hand, "You don't have to ask, I'll tell you straight away, I like you, and it will never change in my life. I just like men! I just fucking want to be with you Together!" Looking at Lin Ruqian's cold eyes, his heart felt cold.

"Do you still want my brother?" Lin Ruqian looked at him with a hint of disbelief.

Zhao Mengsong was trembling all over, he knelt down suddenly, and eagerly pulled his belt, "I won't be a brother anymore, I am willing to do anything for you!"
