Chapter 51 Escape
Seeing that the emperor's anger had not subsided, Yan Shuanglie retreated all the maids and eunuchs in the hall, walked to the emperor and said seriously, "Father, don't be angry. First listen to the minister talk about the snake demon. How to make a determination."
"What do you know?" The emperor still frowned. Although he blamed Yan Shuanglie for defending Lin Qian, he was willing to listen to Yan Shuanglie talk about these things. Wanyi was injured and unconscious, but he was very uncertain. If Wanyi had something good or bad, wouldn't this imperial city be unguarded? Even if he was a king, if the evil was in chaos, he would have no good way to deal with it after all...
"The evil snake demon is named Xiaohuan. He is the king of the snake world. His cultivation is unfathomable and his personality is also strange." Yan Shuanglie paused and said, "Although I don't know what his relationship is with Wanyi, it was Wanyi who brought him to the capital at first."
"Wan Yi took him into the capital?" The emperor looked at Yan Shuanglie in disbeliebeliely. He couldn't think of the reason why Wanyi brought this tricky snake demon into the capital.
"Yes." Yan Shuanglie recalled for a moment and said, "At that time, Xiaohuan seemed to be seriously injured, but Linglan found trouble for him and said that he wanted to avenge his teacher. Although Xiaohuan was seriously injured that time, he was killed by Xiaohuan, and it was a move to kill him. Wan Yi seemed to have known about it for a long time and returned to Beijing in time."
"So... Xiaohuan is injured." When the emperor heard this, he thought about how he could indeed kill Xiaohuan and eliminate future troubles.
"Yes. However..." Yan Shuanglie understood what the emperor meant and hurriedly said, "Xiaohuan has been cultivating outside for many days. I'm afraid he has recovered now, otherwise, he will definitely not return to Beijing."
"He came back after recovering from his injury?" The emperor frowned again and asked, "Do you know why he came back?"
"This... I don't know it, but I know that Lin Qian must not be killed." Yan Shuanglie was worried that the emperor would be angry again, so he said, "Xiao Huan has been with Lin Qian since he first entered Beijing, and the second time he returned to Beijing, he opened a brothel with Lin Qian. As for today's matter, if you want to investigate strictly... the children and ministers can't get rid of it..."
"What does it have to do with you?" The emperor thought that Yan Shuanglie wanted to say that he liked Lin Qian again, and his tone was a little bad.
"Yesterday, the minister brought some snacks given by his father to Lin Qian and asked Lin Qian about the double dance. Unexpectedly, the royal brother suddenly broke in and damaged Lin Qian's door. The minister felt guilty, so he left early and was ready to compensate Lin Qian today." Yan Shuanglie paused and said, "The royal brother left earlier than Erchen last night. As for what happened this morning, I'm afraid it has something to do with the royal brother going to make trouble last night."
"You mean, Guang'er is going to make trouble again today? What's the reason for going to the brothel to make trouble? The emperor suddenly thought of Wan Yi telling him not to go to Siyun Pavilion to disturb him, and he couldn't help frowning again.
"The royal brother should have been the prince, but the minister..." Yan Shuanglie lowered his head and sighed, "The royal brother and the minister have always been at peace. Yesterday, he took people into the Siyun Pavilion to let everyone know that the minister was in the brothel. As for this morning... The royal brother may also be to see me or not..."
"This Xiaohuan has been living in the brothel?" The emperor didn't want to hear about his sons' discord, so he asked Xiao Huan's question again.
"Yes." Yan Shuanglie was worried that the emperor would blame him for not reporting it, so he said, "Wan Yi also knew about this, and also hurt Lin Qian in order to threaten Xiaohuan. Therefore, I think Lin Qian is very important.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Is it that Wanyi's purpose to bring Xiaohuan into the capital..."
"The specific reason is not clear, but according to how many times he saw Xiaohuan, he cares about Lin Qian, so..." The prince did not finish speaking, but lowered his head and stopped speaking.
"You want to save Lin Qian and make her feel grateful to you, so that she can have some effect when Xiaohuan finds trouble in the future. Do you want to take advantage of her?" The emperor seemed to hear the meaning of Yan Shuanglie's words and said, "They are all snake demons. Do you think this is feasible?"
"I'm not sure, but demons have always been affectionate and should be feasible." Yan Shuanglie looked at the emperor and said seriously, "Now Wanyi is injured and unconscious. If we provoke Xiaohuan again because of Lin Qian, the consequences... My ministers are just worried that there will be trouble."
After hearing this, the emperor understood the advantages and disadvantages. But just as Yan Shuanglie was about to release Lin Qian by order, the soldiers who escorted Lin Qian suddenly broke in and knelt down and begged, "The emperor ordered the prince to spare his life. Lin Qian was robbed..."
"What!" Both of them were shocked when they heard this. Now that the boundary of the moth is gone, who did it? If it was Xiaohuan... the consequences would be unimaginable. The prince hurriedly followed the soldiers out of the palace and rushed to the place where the prison car was robbed.
At this moment, Lin Qian was sitting around the charcoal fire in the prince's private courtyard, trembling.
"Where is Xiaohuan?" Yan Shuangwu looked at Lin Qian's embarrassed look and asked, "Why did you bear what he caused? Why didn't you come to save you!"
"I don't know..." Lin Qian looked at Yan Shuangwu and said, "He told me in the morning that he had something to go out of the city. He didn't say exactly what to do, and I don't know."
"You said he was out of town?" Yan Shuangwu stared with wide eyes and looked at Lin Qian and said, "When did you leave?"
"I left very early, at dawn..."
"Oh no... It turned out that the master was talking about this..." Yan Shuangwu walked quickly out of the door, but was stopped by Lin Qian.
Lin Qian sniffed and asked, "What should I do if you leave? If the prince is moved by the emperor, I will definitely be killed again when he comes back, and then you will come to save me.
"You will be fine." What Yan Shuangwu is worried about at this moment is whether Lin Qian will be killed, but whether her master will have an accident. A few days ago, I recalled that I sent her a message that she must enter the capital before noon today. Something would happen. As a result, as soon as she arrived in the capital, she heard that Lin Qian was going to be be beheaded, so she took action to save Lin Qian.
Now I think that I really didn't notice the protection of the boundary when I entered the city, but I didn't expect that something happened to the master...
"Is it true that the prince said he liked me?" Lin Qian didn't want to stay here alone. After all, she was the person Yan Shuanglie's father wanted to kill. She was a little uneasy, so she had nothing to say.
"I don't know." Shuangwu turned around, squatted down and looked at Lin Qian and said, "But you'd better figure out your identity. You can't be contaminated with the prince."
"I know." Lin Qian did not feel uncomfortable because of these words. Instead, he nodded indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I will never like the prince, let alone seduce him."
"Very good. Remember what you said today. Yan Shuangwu got up and said coldly, "If it weren't for you, my master would never have happened, you shouldn't have appeared here!"
"I..." Lin Qian can't explain. She is the last person who doesn't want to come here... It's just that she can't say this. Even if she says it, Yan Shuangwu will not believe her. Knowing that the other party won't believe it, she feels that she doesn't need to say it. Let it be.
Shuangwu left directly without saying anything to Lin Qian.
In fact, she knew in her heart that everything that happened and was about to happen had nothing to do with Lin Qian, but Lin Qian's existence happened to be related to Xiaohuan, but her master Wanyi wanted to interfere with Xiaohuan's fate, and all of which she could not change.
She is not complaining about Lin Qian, but angry about her powerlessness.
Lin Qian sat next to the charcoal fire, thinking about some unknown things, and unconsciously reddened her eyes... Those things have passed for too long, but every time she thought of them made her extremely sad. If it hadn't been for too many things, she couldn't tell whether those memories really existed.
The prince dragged his tired body back to the other courtyard. This afternoon, he almost went all over the city, but found nothing. Xiaohuan did not enter the palace to cause trouble, nor did he appear in the brothel. He thought that maybe Xiaohuan had come back, but he wanted to know where Lin Qian had been rescued.
Although he didn't have any special ideas about Lin Qian, Lin Qian was indeed different from other women. Although he told the emperor that he was just taking advantage of Lin Qian, he could not fully accept his statement. Lin Qian is different from the woman he has seen. She is not a particularly thoughtless puppet, but a woman who has her own ideas and connotations.
Yan Shuanglie rubbed his eyebrows and pushed the door in. Suddenly, he saw a small figure curling around the charcoal fire. He was shocked and walked over carefully, but saw that Lin Qian was already asleep by the charcoal fire, curling up and trembling gently.
He couldn't say how he felt when he saw Lin Qian at this moment, but the joy and peace of mind that flashed in his heart could not deceive himself. The prince gently picked up Lin Qian and put it back on the couch. Lin Qian moved gently and said in a daze, "Don't make any noise."
When the prince heard Lin Qian's words, he unconsciously smiled and suddenly felt very secure. The woman was still alive, as long as she was alive.
The prince sat by the bed and looked at Lin Qian's sleeping face. It took him a long time to think that Lin Qian was rescued in the prison car, but now it doesn't matter who saved him, as long as he saves it.
The prince helped Lin Qian cover the quilt, leaned against the bedside and narrowed his eyes, whispered as if talking to himself, "I finally found you."
Lin Qian was shocked when she heard this sentence. She didn't understand the meaning of the prince's words. What did she do when she found her?
Before Lin Qian figured it out, he felt the prince stroke her hair. For a moment, the prince stood up and said softly, "Lin Qian, you'd better not let me like you."
After saying that, the prince opened the door and went to the next door. After hearing that the door was closed, Lin Qian opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in her clear eyes. She curled her lips indifferently and said to herself, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't seduce you. You are so I can't afford to be high."
Lin Qian didn't know why she rejected these powerful people, such as the prince, such as Xiaohuan. If she hadn't been connected with Xiaohuan, she would have begged Xiaohuan to leave. As for the prince, although she is not annoying, she absolutely does not want to get too close. Especially after hearing what the prince just said, she decided to treat each other with courtesy in the future, and never exceed half.
Lin Qian initially pretended to sleep to listen to the prince's truth. He must not be able to escape. If the prince wants to catch himself, he will definitely wake himself up, but if he wants to let her go, he will be safe. If you are awake, you will inevitably face the problem, and it is easier to know the truth when you fall asleep.
For example, the prince doesn't want to like herself, and she escaped this time.
