Marrying Gold and Jade

Compared to Xu Jinxuan, Mingyuan was much calmer when he met her. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her face carefully, then took her hand and walked inside.

"It was my fault a while ago. I let him lead me and pushed you too hard."

Lin Yu shook his head and didn't blame him.

After all, they are fighting not only for themselves, but also for the throne.

"He gave you a hard time in the past three days."

Lin Yu shook his head again, "Don't worry, I'm used to living there too."

The days back at Wangyue Pavilion were as peaceful as before, and Mingyuan would talk to her after dinner.

But in the past she would leave as soon as she trapped Mingyuan, but today she stayed and refused to leave.

It should have been already past the first watch of the night. Lin Yu was just thinking about when he would go to bed, but his head went to sleep a little earlier.

Seeing this, the young man sitting opposite stood up and picked her up horizontally with familiar movements.

Lin Yu thought he was going to carry her back to the couch to sleep, so she nestled against his chest without moving, and almost fell asleep like that.

After being in a daze for a long time, I opened my eyes and suddenly found that what I saw was extremely unfamiliar.

It was so high. She was sitting so high up in an extremely spacious hall. She could overlook the entire hall and even everything outside the door.

Lin Yu rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was dreaming. He also doubted that he had never been to this place, so how could he have such a dream.

Until someone next to me said, "Are you awake?"

Mingyuan squatted down in front of her.

A person of a much different stature from her was a little shorter than her.

"This is..." Lin Yu subconsciously stretched out his hand, and suddenly found a handrail beside him, shining with golden light.

When he saw the auspicious dragon carved on it clearly, he suddenly screamed.

"what--"

She was in a hurry to get up, but unfortunately Ming Yuan was blocking her way. He raised his hand and pressed effortlessly, and Lin Yu sank back into the dragon throne.

“Here, this is…”

"Taihe Hall."

Lin Yu was really scared. He was in the Golden Palace, sitting on the dragon throne that belonged exclusively to the emperor. If anyone saw him, it would be a serious crime that would involve the entire nine generations of his clan.

"A Yuan, A Yuan..." Lin Yu knew that she was no match for him in terms of strength, so she put her hands on his shoulders and could only persuade him, "Let's go back, okay?"

But compared to her panic, the young man squatting in front of her seemed too calm.

"Don't worry," he pulled the pair of small hands down and put them together, and soothed them slowly, "No one will come in."

But even so, Lin Yu was so frightened that he could hardly breathe, and his palms were covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Seeing the person in front of her suddenly take out a piece of silk, she was so scared that her voice was unsteady, "You, what are you going to do..."

The young man, who always lowered his head and looked so obedient in front of her that he was lovable, actually took one of her wrists and tied it to the armrest carved with auspicious dragon patterns.

After tying a knot, he tightened it, looked up and asked, "Is it too tight?"

Lin Yu couldn't even feel his wrist and shook his head at people almost instinctively.

Mingyuan stood up and explained to her, "I'm afraid that if I stand up, you'll run away and won't listen to me."

His behavior today was very abnormal. He didn't even ask before carrying her over.

Mingyuan seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, and explained in a tacit understanding: "I'm afraid that even if I tell you, you won't agree to come."

Lin Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I opened my eyes, closed them, and opened them again. I could not adapt to my current position.

"Then why did you bring me here?"

Lin Yu's hands were tied to the dragon chair. She felt him walk around behind her and tilted her neck back slightly, but she still couldn't see him.

Fortunately, Mingyuan's hands came down, supported her shoulders, and straightened her body a little.

"look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Just look down here."

It was late at night, so the hall was naturally empty. It was originally built high, and now with only a few pillars standing there, it naturally looked even emptier.

"At dawn tomorrow, the court will be filled with officials. They will sit here with their heads bowed, and only their official hats will be visible."

Ming Yuan's voice hung above his head. Lin Yu listened to him carefully and seemed to imagine the scene.

Naturally, it was also the first time in his life that he sat in the emperor's seat and looked down.

Thinking of this, her heartbeat, which had just calmed down a little, started beating again, and her chest felt stuffy and hot.

The young man behind him changed his topic and talked about other things, talking about his past few years.

"If I hadn't accompanied you to Yunwu Mountain that day and met him, I would have planned to stay in the Lin family forever."

"I haven't even thought about doing anything with you."

He did not bear a grudge against Lin Ji for targeting him in the past. After all, a girl like her was not worthy of a servant.

"I used to really want to escape, to stay away from this palace and never get involved in these things again, but now that I'm back, it doesn't seem that hard to deal with."

He first showed up by taking advantage of the power of the Queen and the Crown Prince, and then cultivated many of his "own people" by overthrowing the Lu family. Step by step, the little prince who was not valued at the time was finally noticed by his father.

It can be said that he had stood up a long time ago, earlier than Lin Yu.

"I understand now that there are some things where running away is useless. Lin Yu, I want to be with you, just like now."

Although his words were simple and straightforward, and there was nothing difficult to understand, Lin Yu did not understand the last sentence.

"Like... now?"

The person behind her took two steps forward and squatted in front of her, looking up at her again. However, Lin Yu was tied there, which made her seem more like a confinement.

"I want you to stay with me, but I also want to be the master of this palace."

He raised his right hand and gently stroked the girl's palm along with the armrest. "I know what you are worried about. You have heard and seen too much these days. The palace is not a good place for you."

"I can promise that if I ascend the throne someday, you and I will be like we were in the Lin family before, and you will always be my 'Miss'."

"This position can be considered yours."

These were two simple sentences, but Lin Yu suddenly couldn't understand them. "What do you mean, treat them as mine?"

Mingyuan told him all his plans: "I know you will be scared when you see the Queen's situation, but that's because she is dependent on the Emperor and can only use her offspring and reputation to consolidate her position."

"But you are different. I am willing to plant a pair of Gu with you, so that I will never disobey you for the rest of my life."

"Even if I sit in this position, you can still control me, so I don't have to worry."

Lin Yu listened to all this in a daze, not daring to blink. She saw the young man in front of her raised his lips, and the face that should have been handsome and harmless suddenly showed a bit of fear in her eyes.

"So, is it like you became the emperor?"

Lin Yu looked at him leaning on her knees and said, "You can rest assured to be with me now."
