Marrying Gold and Jade

There was no more noise outside, and the approaching footsteps became clearer and clearer.

It's coming this way.

Lin Yu turned around and looked at the man, then silently grasped the man's wrist.

Even if she had to be held accountable, she would just accompany Lin Ji.

Until a man's face appeared on the bare top of the vat.

He is very young, with slightly upturned phoenix eyes and a broken eyebrow on the right brow bone that makes him look even more fierce.

"Xu Jinxuan?"

Lin Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. How could he forget that he was still here and he could also help Lin Ji.

She didn't notice Lin Ji's sudden hostility, still holding his wrist and said happily: "Xu Jinxuan, help him, just say...what to do!"

She was squeezed in a corner with others, her whole body was in a mess. Her eyes were so moving when she saw herself, but she spoke for another man.

Xu Jinxuan didn't want to listen to her next words. He leaned over and pulled her up from the corner.

The overly wide dress was blown up, so Lin Ji only had time to grab a corner of the sleeve, "Ayu!"

Lin Yu had already fallen into someone's arms. He calmed himself down and raised his head in his arms again, "You have to help him."

Behind her, two secret guards had their knives pointed at Lin Ji's neck.

Xu Jinxuan hugged the person and met Lin Ji's eyes across from him. He lowered his head and said, "You look like this, and you're still thinking about others."

As Lin Yu was being hugged and staggered forward, he did not forget to look back at Lin Ji and shook his head gently at him.

It’s okay, I can definitely convince Xu Jinxuan to help.

After being stuffed into the sedan chair, Xu Jinxuan's first action was to tear off his clothes. The cloak that Lin Ji had taken off for her was thrown out of the sedan chair without mercy.

"Eh--"

Seeing his expression, Lin Yu didn't dare to say anything.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. What's more, I still need his help.

Just when he was worried that he only had the undergarment left, which could not be exposed, the new clothes were shaken open and thrown down from the top of his head. Xu Jinxuan frowned and said, "Raise your hand."

Lin Yu immediately did as she was told and put on the clothes, which she had never seen before but was a perfect fit for her.

There was no time to investigate the origin of the clothes, and the matter of rescuing Lin Ji had not yet been finalized. Just as she was about to speak again, her body was twisted.

A pair of hands fell to her head, as if untying her hair.

"…It's already this late, and you're still combing your hair."

At such a critical moment, her mind was full of how to cover up the burning of the palace for Lin Ji.

Xu Jinxuan's movements were still familiar. He brought her not only clothes but also jewelry. He just frowned and didn't say a word.

Lin Yu was extremely tormented by this.

Whether to help or not, why can’t you give a definite answer?

"Don't comb your hair yet!"

The bun that was about to take shape slipped out of her hand, and her soft black hair fell down again. Lin Yu couldn't bear it any longer. "I know you don't like Lin Ji either, but today I was plotted against by the Queen and the Crown Princess. If it weren't for him, I would have been disgraced and waiting to be your sister-in-law!"

Then she grabbed his hand that was hanging in front of her, "Xu Jinxuan, just think of it as being for me."

The sedan was a little cramped for two people, and with the palace lantern hanging overhead, the man's broken eyebrow was more noticeable.

He could heal a knife wound without leaving any trace within three days, but he couldn't make a broken eyebrow grow back. With his calm and silent look and fair and handsome face, Lin Yu didn't know if it was her illusion, she felt that Xu Jinxuan was a little lonely.

But I don't know why he should be sad at this time.

"What's the benefit of me helping you?"

Suddenly he opened his mouth, and the strange feeling in Lin Yu's heart disappeared.

Xu Jinxuan is still such a person.

"What do you want?" The girl's body swayed slightly as the sedan chair was carried by four people. "Tell me what you want, and I'll think about it."

When Lin Yu said this, his eyelashes drooped.

It seemed as if there was nothing left of her.

Xu Jinxuan already had everything he wanted, so even if Lin Yu wanted to, she suddenly couldn't think of anything else to exchange.

Her lower jaw was lifted up by her long finger bones, and the expression on her face could not be hidden, and was clearly seen by the man.

"How about your heart?"

Lin Yu's heart trembled violently.

She didn't know why, but she felt extremely awkward.

He turned his eyes away and said, "Then go ahead and dig it up."

He is really good at sneaking and playing tricks.

One of the man's hands slid down her chin and touched her left breast, his fingertips gently circling it.

Then he let go of her and said, "Forget it."

Lin Yu didn’t quite understand. Forget it. What does that mean?

"you……"

"arrive."

When the sedan chair landed on the ground, Lin Yu realized that he had been brought to the Qianqing Palace.

"I..." She leaned out half of her body, then raised her hand to grab her scattered long hair, "I didn't comb my hair..."

Not surprisingly, the man sarcastically said, "I just don't want to comb my hair."

"Xu Jinxuan..."

The call was so gentle that it seemed to smooth out all the dissatisfaction he had been feeling along the way.

Xu Jinxuan pushed her into the sedan again, leaned over and followed her in, "Sit down."

With new clothes and a newly combed hair, Lin Yu looked quite respectable when she entered the palace, much better than the Crown Prince and Crown Princess who had just emerged from the fire scene.

Emperor Xianzhen was waiting for Lin Yu to come, but he was still a little surprised to see that it was Xu Jinxuan who came with people.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lin Yu was unprepared and didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he just bowed politely.

Emperor Xianzhen's eyes fell on her and he naturally noticed that she had changed her clothes.

"Be flat."

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Xu Jinxuan said, "Tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary. I feel very upset tonight."

He stood in front of Lin Yu. Lin Yu looked up but couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't even know why he suddenly brought this up.

Until he said again: "I walked out and saw that palace and didn't like it, so I just ordered it."

It's so quiet in the side hall.

Lin Yu came back to his senses from his surprise and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He wondered how "pampered" he was to dare to admit the crime of burning down the palace.

But what was even more bizarre was Emperor Xianzhen's attitude. He did not ask whether the matter was true or not, but only said, "Do you know that the prince is drunk and taking a nap inside?"

"Really?" Xu Jinxuan answered quickly, "What a coincidence, there's someone else inside."

The silence between father and son was extremely noisy. Lin Yu was stuck in the middle and had no room to speak.

Until Emperor Xianzhen asked her: "What about you, you accompanied the queen back, where did you go later?"

Lin Yu also reacted quickly, following Xu Jinxuan and said, "The clothes for the banquet were complicated, so I went back to change clothes and happened to run into the Fifth Prince."

"Then did you order Zhaoyang Palace together?"

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment, and didn't know why trying to make this matter smooth over turned out to be such a strange situation.

On second thought, it’s fine as long as Lin Ji can choose Qing.

"I tried my best to dissuade His Highness from doing this, but failed to stop him." She admitted it.

The emperor couldn't help but sneered twice.
