You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Yubai covered her face with her hands, and something leaked out from between her fingers.

The man trembled slightly, and remembered something. He raised his head suddenly, and there was a creepy stubbornness and madness in his dark eyes.

The perfectly shaped lips suddenly curved into a smile.

He leaned against the coffin, bent down slightly, put his jade-white hand through the back of her neck, and embraced her shoulders. He placed his other hand on the bend of her only leg and picked her up with great effort.

His legs were badly injured and could only support him to the limit. With the weight of another person on them, he could no longer hold on and fell down with his body.

The corpse smashed heavily on Xiao Yan, pressing down on the wound on his leg and making his face even paler.

However, there was no trace of pain on the man's face, and there was a strange excitement in his eyes:

"I know you are not dead. Lin Zhaoyue, stop pretending. Get up now."

"Don't you want to kill me? I'll give it to you, do it! I'll only give you this chance, open your eyes..."

……

Upon receiving the news, Duke Lin, Madam Lin, and Lin Wan hurried over and happened to meet the Emperor and Empress who had also rushed to the East Palace.

They all got the news. The emperor looked at Duke Lin and comforted him:

"Condolences."

Seeing a loved one die is the heaviest blow to anyone.

Duke Lin is a rough man and was once the god of war of Anguo.

On the battlefield, even when he was facing the most dangerous situation and was being skinned alive, he never flinched and never shed a tear.

However, at this moment, upon learning the news of his beloved daughter's sudden death, Duke Lin couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he told himself again and again to keep the situation stable and to control himself, he could not suppress the sadness in his heart.

Duke Lin wiped the tears from his eyes and bowed:

"It made His Majesty laugh."

"I am sorry for not saving Miss Lin Er."

"This is not the emperor's fault. It's Zhao Zhao's bad luck."

Duke Lin was angry and resentful, but he didn't know who he was angry with or who he resented.

Who could he blame?

Ever since Zhao Zhao got into trouble, the emperor dispatched all the imperial guards to look for her. Even Xiao Ying was seriously injured in his attempt to save her, and his legs were almost crippled.

If he had to blame anyone, he would blame the person behind the kidnapping.

"Don't worry, my dear minister. I will get to the bottom of this matter and give Miss Lin the Second justice."

"I thank the emperor."

The Queen also went to comfort Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin's head was buzzing at the moment and she had no time to pay attention to what she was saying.

Lin Wan supported the shaky Madam Lin and stepped into the side hall of the East Palace.

Feng Xin saw that the emperor, empress, and people from the Duke's Mansion had arrived, and hurried over to greet them.

"Where is the prince?"

Xiao Zhang asked.

"Your Highness is inside. I will report to you right away."

"Your Highness, the Emperor, Empress, Duke, and Madam Lin are all here..."

Feng Xin looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

In front of the spirit platform, the most famous prince in Kyoto was seen with disheveled hair, holding the corpse in his arms, covered in blood, muttering to himself, no one knew what he was saying to the corpse.

Looks crazy!

As he got closer, he heard Xiao Yan say:

"Lin Zhaoyue, if you don't wake up, believe it or not, I will lead the troops to kill the entire Duke's Mansion. For your crime of murdering the crown prince, the more than one hundred lives in the Duke's Mansion are not enough for me to kill. Open your eyes..."

The prince is crazy!

This was Feng Xin’s first thought.

Duke Lin and the Emperor are just outside. If they hear this, Duke Lin will definitely feel resentful towards the Crown Prince, and the Emperor will definitely be dissatisfied with Duke Lin.

If Duke Lin and the Emperor turned against each other, Feng Xin couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

After all, Duke Lin has an army of 100,000 soldiers under his command.

Feng Xin was glad that he came here first.

Feng Xin knew that the Emperor and Duke Lin were both very skilled, so he quickly stepped forward and knocked Xiao Yin unconscious.

Xiao Yan's body fell down softly, but as he fell, he still held the corpse tightly in his arms.

"The doctor is here, the prince has fainted..."

Hearing Feng Xin's words, the people outside the door hurried in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Xiao Yan holding Lin Zhaoyue's body tightly.

"Zhao Zhao..."

When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter's broken limbs, her heart felt as if it was torn into countless pieces and she ached terribly.

With tears streaming down her face, she rushed to Lin Zhaoyue and cried bitterly.

Lin Wan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

The Queen wiped the tears from her eyes with her handkerchief and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing is to send Miss Lin's body back to the Duke's Mansion for a proper burial."

Xiao Zhang looked at Lin Zhaoyue's mutilated body and Xiao Yin who was holding her body tightly, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

He nodded and ordered:

"Someone, take Miss Lin's body back to the Duke's Mansion."

Feng Xin tried several times, but Xiao Yan held her too tightly, and he couldn't get Miss Lin's body out at all.

Xiao Zhang also saw it and said:

"Remove the prince's arm first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With a creaking sound, Xiao Yun's arms fell down limply.

Just as Lin Zhaoyue's body was brought back to the Duke's Mansion, the overly sad Mrs. Lin finally couldn't bear it anymore. She vomited blood and fainted.

"Mother, Father, Mother fainted..."

Duke Lin turned around and looked at his unconscious wife. His heart tightened and he quickly picked her up, shouting:

"Send the court doctor over..."

The Lin Mansion was once again plunged into chaos.

Duke Lin, who had always been full of energy, now looked much older.

He had just lost Zhao Zhao, and nothing must happen to his wife.

The court doctor was taking Madam Lin's pulse. In the silence, Lin Wan spoke:

"Father, I have already sent letters to my second and third brothers. I believe they will be back soon."

Such a big thing has happened at home, everyone should come back except the eldest brother.

Duke Lin hummed, looking exhausted.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the doors and windows.

Three long and one short.

It was a message from his secret guard Lin San. If it wasn't an emergency, he wouldn't have sent out this signal. Duke Lin went out with a frown.

When I arrived outside the pavilion in the main courtyard, a man in black appeared behind me.

"What's the emergency?"

Lin San took out a letter and said:

"It's a letter from the Second Miss."

Second Miss? Zhao Zhao?

Hasn't she already...

Without time to think deeply, Duke Lin quickly took the letter, opened it, and looked at the contents. He was so angry that he was out of breath:

"This rebellious girl, I'm going to be mad at her. When she comes back, I'll punish her according to the family rules. See how she piss off her mother..."

Duke Lin cursed but cried with joy.

It's okay, it's okay... As for what she said, he will do as she said.

……

Xiao Ying woke up on the day of Lin Zhaoyue's funeral. Feng Xin had no time to report it. As soon as he brought back a bowl of medicine, Xiao Ying disappeared.
