Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu felt very nervous as he left the table with the Queen.

The person following behind him, the one closest to him was the former steward Liang, and the rest were all people from the Queen's Palace. Lin Yu felt that he was surrounded and didn't dare to breathe.

"You are quite a capable person. It is not enough for you to charm the fifth and seventh brothers, you even want to charm the emperor."

It sounded like I was seducing someone.

Lin Yu supported the man, but still couldn't help but said: "I am just chatting with Your Majesty."

"Okay, stop making excuses."

If she hadn't brought such a generous dowry, the queen wouldn't even want to look at her.

Anyway, there was no point in talking to each other, so the girl pursed her lips and wisely didn't say anything more in rebuttal.

Following the queen out of the banquet, it was already dark outside, with a hazy waning moon hanging in the sky.

Originally thought he was going to escort someone back to Kunning Palace, but unexpectedly, halfway through, at the door of an empty palace, Lin Yu saw the Crown Princess again.

"Sister Lin, you're finally here." Just like last time, she walked up to Lin Yu and took his hand affectionately.

Lin Yu hadn't reacted yet. She looked at the Queen, then at the Crown Princess. Only then did she realize that the Queen was deliberately making an excuse to leave just to get herself out.

"Come on, follow me."

Lin Yu's outfit today was particularly cumbersome. When someone pulled her, she almost stepped on the hem of her skirt. She could only be carried into the palace.

"Crown Princess, what are you doing?"

The palace gate closed behind her, and a bad feeling enveloped her.

The Crown Princess still smiled at her and said, "How could you forget? I promised you before that I would let you meet your brother at the palace banquet."

There is such a thing.

But ever since she knew that the Crown Princess wanted her to be the Crown Prince's concubine, Lin Yu no longer expected her to help.

The two men walked through the courtyard. The door of the palace in front of them was closed, but the lights in the house were on.

"My brother... is in there?"

Why does she feel like there is something fishy going on?

"Yes!" The Crown Princess responded a little anxiously, wishing she could just push the person through the door. "It was inconvenient at the banquet just now, so I specially opened up an empty palace for you. Come in quickly, your brother has just arrived."

Lin Yu still couldn't move, and waved away the Crown Princess's hand. After a moment's thought, he said, "Your Majesty has clearly allowed me to meet my brother, so why do you have to be so secretive?"

She just lied to someone and the Crown Princess's face turned cold.

"Your Majesty said that it would be arranged for you?"

"Yes."

The woman's dignified and beautiful face gloomed. The warm light reflected from the building behind her outlined her tall figure, but her face was dark and she looked incredibly gloomy.

"Sister Lin, I think you remembered it wrongly."

She spoke again, clearly very calmly, but Lin Yu was so frightened that he took a step back.

The Crown Princess in front of him was aggressive, "Now, hurry in."

What was there to not know? Lin Yu immediately ran back.

Suddenly, five or six eunuchs appeared in this empty palace. They were all strong and sturdy, and they dragged her into the hall.

"Girl, don't struggle. There is a huge fortune inside!"

Lin Yu didn't want any wealth or fame. She struggled desperately, but she couldn't resist their large numbers. They pushed her into the hall and even stripped off her outer clothes.

"What are you doing! Let me out!"

No one responded. The only thing she could hear was the sound of the palace door being locked from the outside.

The pretended warmth on the Crown Princess's face had long since disappeared. She stared coldly at the locked palace door and sighed silently in her heart.

If they are not desperate, who would be willing to force other women on their husband?

When she first married the Crown Princess, the Queen's mother's family was so powerful and the Crown Prince was at the peak of his power.

However, he did not expect that not long after the two princes returned to the palace, he would fall to the point of scheming against other women to consolidate his power.

Since Lin Yu refused to obey and was unwilling to be fooled, he could only strip off her clothes and throw her in.

Lin Yu was nervous and soon realized something was wrong.

The incense in the hall was very strong. I just stopped for a moment and then felt my limbs go limp. The familiar feeling of heat spread from my lower abdomen to my whole body.

There was a sound of a man coughing in the inner hall.

All the hairpins on Lin Yu's head were plucked out, her hair was half loose, her outer garment was gone, and she was left with only an undergarment that didn't reveal anything but wasn't really appropriate.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she held her breath and wanted to extinguish the incense burner first. But when she looked around, she found in despair that the incense burner seemed to be in the inner hall.

The man was in there too.

If I don't extinguish it, I will lose my mind in this incense; if I extinguish it, it will be like walking into a trap.

Lin Yu covered his mouth and nose and peeked through the carved door of the inner hall.

The man on the couch seemed to have just woken up. He was only wearing a shirt and sat up on the couch.

He felt too hot, so he reached out and tugged at his collar.

It was also at this time that Lin Yu saw his face clearly.

Is the prince.

She had seen him from afar once at Xu Jin's coming-of-age ceremony, but had never had any interaction with him.

Lin Yu quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind. If there was only an ordinary man in the hall, she would still dare to fight back and even knock him unconscious.

But that man was the crown prince. If he accidentally hurt him, he would be charged with "murdering the crown prince" as soon as he left the palace.

The Queen didn't like me in the first place, and today she was forcing me to do her will. No matter what I did, I was in a dilemma.

"Someone is coming."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was stunned.

The prince in the inner room didn't seem to know what was going on. He never liked strong incense, and this incense seemed strange and made him feel particularly hot.

He covered his lips and coughed twice, then shouted, "Someone, remove the incense in the hall!"

Lin Yu didn't care what his intention was and immediately went into the hall and picked up the incense burner.

She was almost suffocating and finally carried the evil creature to the window, but found that the window seemed to be nailed shut and could not be opened no matter how hard she pushed.

After a lot of futile efforts, she could only open the lid of the incense burner, ignore the hot ashes, and pinch off the burning incense with her bare hands.

She didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she sat down on the ground, gasping for breath in despair.

She had only smelled it for a while when she felt her mind was disturbed. She wondered how long the prince had been sleeping in there!

"You are……"

When the man's voice rang above his head, Lin Yu shrank his body and quickly dodged backwards without caring about bumping into the incense burner behind him.

The ashes of the burnt incense covered her body. She closed her eyes, not caring about her dishevelled clothes, and knelt down in front of the man and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been plotted against. Please bear with it for a while!"

Lin Yu was not sure.

In fact, she also knew that the prince would not be interested in her.

What I'm afraid of is that he has long been eyeing the benefits from me, and wants to take me as a concubine.

The man stared at the girl lying on the ground, a dark look in his eyes.
