Compared with previous years, the snow in the capital this year fell much later and more suddenly.During the daytime, the sky was still clear, but when the night passed, when I opened the door and looked out, the surrounding area was already covered with whiteness.

Lin Xiu has always felt that the most beautiful place in the capital city should be the imperial city. Of course, in the past 20 years, she has left the imperial city very few times. Rarely steps out.But she really thinks that the most scenic place in the world is in this imperial city, otherwise why are there countless people in this world who dream of becoming the masters of this place.

But people have no choice about their background, just like herself, she seems to enjoy the glory and dignity envied by the world, but she is powerless and helpless, but some people are different from her, they are not reconciled to their own In order to change it, try every means, even unscrupulous.

Lin Xiu stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at the white snow field in front of her, slightly lost in thought.She wears a string of bodhi seeds, which are said to have been sent by Lin Ce to the Ci'en Temple to ask for them.She knew that her elder brother never believed in ghosts and gods, but it was related to her preferences, so she was willing to pay a little more attention.

Lin Xiu's fingers flicked the beads lightly, she didn't know what to think of, she lowered her eyes slightly.It wasn't until he heard footsteps that he raised his head slowly, glanced at the hurried palace man, and said softly, "How?"

The palace servant came over and whispered something in her ear, Lin Xiu's fingers stopped, slowly raised his head, and said, "Then there is no movement at the Zhaoyang Palace?" ?”

"The Empress Dowager seems to be ill. She has been staying behind closed doors for the past few days and has been recovering from her illness. She didn't even go to the Buddhist hall much." The palace man replied.

Lin Xiu smiled: "The Empress Dowager deserves to be the one who survived the struggle in the late emperor's harem. Even when she is sick, she is so good at winking. If you don't get sick sooner or later, it's time for this kind of time. Sometimes I think it's funny, Is she smart or stupid? At this time, I thought of self-protection." She said, and put the bead string on her wrist again, "If something really happens to the emperor, who in this palace will be safe? Can you survive?"

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to put on the hood on the sable fur, covered half of her face in the shadow, and couldn't see her expression clearly: "Let's go, the queen mother can get sick, but we can't. I want to see it when I go to Changle Palace." Look what else can happen today."

Lin Xiu couldn't remember how long she hadn't stepped out of the bedroom door, the cold wind was blowing, she hid herself in the thick sable fur, and only brought a court lady with her, walking on the snow that hadn't had time to clean it up, Leave a long series of footprints.

After snowing, everything will return to tranquility, not to mention that because Lin Ce likes to be quiet, no one dares to make noise in this imperial city.But today is always different, Lin Xiu has never seen so many people in Changle Palace.

She stopped, stood at the door and watched from a distance. Gao Yong was guarding outside the palace door, explaining something to a few courtiers, but those people didn't know where the confidence came from. The red man looked at him with an aggressive attitude, and even reached out to push Gao Yong several times, as if he was about to rush in the next moment.

Lin Xiu lowered her eyes, raised her hand and took off her hood, strode over, stopped in front of those people, and softly snorted: "Changle Palace is very lively today, what are you doing?"

Several courtiers froze for a moment, looked at each other, and bowed towards Lin Xiu: "See Your Highness, Your Majesty has been on hiatus for a few days. Although it has been explained in advance, there are always a few urgent matters. That's why I dared to come to see the Holy Majesty."

Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Gao Yong: "I heard that my niece, who hadn't had time to give her a title, got sick, so I came here to see what the emperor is doing, why is there no one around?"

The moment Gao Yong saw Lin Xiu, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and said softly: "The little princess got sick a few days ago, your Highness, you also know that once this child gets sick, it will be dangerous. Very soon, the imperial doctor was on guard every day, but it didn't get better. His Majesty was very worried, so he stayed with him non-stop. Although he was off court, our Majesty has always been diligent. He was also reviewing memorials and handling court affairs while guarding the little princess' sick bed. It's not that I didn't sleep all night last night, just fell asleep, these adults came, and went to see the holy majesty, slaves, slaves persuaded for a long time, they didn't listen no matter what, if they wake up the holy majesty later, just I'm afraid that even the heads of slaves will be lost."

Lin Xiu shook her head lightly, turned her head to look at several courtiers, her gaze passed over their faces one by one, and said, "I have heard what Manager Gao said, if you have any important matters, Just leave the memorial, why bother to disturb the emperor at this time, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry and convict several of you for deceiving the emperor?"

Several courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and two of them showed signs of retreat, but the leader still said: "I hope Your Highness will forgive me, the ministers are not trying to deceive the emperor, but His Majesty has been on the throne for more than five years, and has never The ministers and others have not seen His Majesty for many days, and they are really worried about the fact that the court was suspended without warning, so they must see His Majesty in person today to be at ease."

Lin Xiu tightly squeezed the bead string in her hand, lowered her eyes to look at him, and asked slowly: "I don't understand the court situation, and I don't know much about you, my lord, where is the official worship?"

"The next official's surname is Sun, and the official worships Chao Yilang."

"Oh, Master Sun." Lin Xiu nodded lightly, "I didn't understand what you said just now, you said you were worried?" Lin Xiu turned her head and glanced at the closed palace door, "I don't know what you said just now. I don't know, what are you worried about? Or do you guys think that something should happen in Changle Palace?"

"Your Majesty is just guessing, I can't be sure, I have to see His Majesty with my own eyes, so I can feel at ease."

Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, then turned her head and glanced at Gao Yong: "In this case, Director Gao, let's fulfill this Lord Sun's loyalty to the emperor."

Gao Yong bowed slightly, hesitantly said: "Your Highness, it's not that the servants don't want to, it's just..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Xiu laughed, walked around Gao Yong and pushed open the palace door, "If Brother Huang loses his temper, naturally our Lord Sun will suffer."

The hall was quiet, as if there was no popularity. Lin Xiu took a few steps forward, but was blocked by the screen of the inner hall. She turned her head and glanced at the courtiers who followed her cautiously, then turned to Gao Yong. , Before he could speak, there was a sudden coughing sound in the hall, and when the coughing sound stopped, a male voice clearly sounded sleepy: "Gao Yong? What's the matter?"

Gao Yong hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it was Princess Lechang who heard that the little princess was sick, and came to see her with concern."

"Sister Xiu?"

"Chenmei sees the emperor." There was a slight smile in Lin Xiu's voice, "However, it is not only the minister who came today, but also a few ministers. They haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and they miss the emperor very much. After embarrassing Director Gao for a long time outside the door, sister Chen couldn't stand it, so she brought him in."

"Missing me? Or do you want me to die?" A clear sound of cracking porcelain resounded throughout the bedroom, "Gao Yong, when did Changle Palace become a place where anyone can enter if they want? The head on your neck still wants Don't want it anymore?"

Gao Yong huddled into a ball: "It's the servant who neglected his duty, and I hope His Majesty will make amends."

"Chenmei knows that the emperor's brother is anxious because of his niece's illness, but several ministers are also worried about you. Manager Gao tried to stop them, but he couldn't dissuade them." Courtier, "Several, now I finally see Brother Huang. If you have something to say from the bottom of your heart, I just want to talk about it." She said, blinking, "Master Sun, aren't you worried about Brother Huang? Why don't you say it first?"

Those people lowered their heads, and no one dared to make a move. Lin Xiu saw the performance of the few people in his eyes, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I want to see, who are they who want to see me so much?" The tall figure of a young man was reflected on the screen, approaching step by step, and when he was about to walk around the screen, a girl's cry suddenly came from the hall , followed by the low voice of the imperial doctor, "Your Majesty, the princess is awake, crying and begging for your hug."

The figure stopped immediately, and said in a low voice, "Go away, if the princess is disturbed because of you, I will kill you." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked in again, "Gao Yong, According to my decree, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the Changle Palace without my edict, and if there is any violation, the imperial guards will directly do it without reporting to me."

"Slave obeys the order." Gao Yong got up from the ground, waved his hands desperately at the courtiers, and signaled them to go out

, those people hurriedly got up and exited Changle Palace.

Lin Xiu stared at their backs as they walked away slowly, and then let out a slow breath.Gao Yong quickly closed the palace door, returned to Lin Xiu, and gave her a deep bow: "Thank you princess for your kindness today."

Lin Xiu shook her head: "Who is that inside? With him here, even if I don't come today, it probably won't be a problem to deal with these people."

The figure of the man just walked around the screen and came out, saw Lin Xiu, and bowed to salute: "I'm Xia Linjue, see Your Highness."

Lin Xiu frowned slightly. She had been in the inner palace for a long time and didn't know the court situation, let alone heard of Lin Jue's existence. She was puzzled and looked at Gao Yong. Gao Yong came over and whispered something in her ear. sentence.Lin Xiu stared at Lin Jue for a while, and then slowly said: "Mr. Lin is righteous, and I will thank you for my brother when I get through this difficulty safely."

Lin Jue shook his head: "The princess is too polite, I really don't dare." He turned his head and glanced inside, and said softly, "Actually, I still don't understand until now, how can your majesty dare to believe such an important matter?" I am a commoner."

Lin Xiu smiled: "Maybe it's because the young master is a friend of General You. The emperor has had a lot of troubles in his life. He has seen all the impermanence of the world and unpredictable people. There are only a few people who can trust him. In his eyes, the civil and military Officials may not be as reliable as General You's close friends. Besides, this matter is only for people in the court to have a chance to do it, but the identity of the son is reliable."

Hearing this, Lin Jue couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Lin Xiu smiled at him, stopped talking, walked around the screen to the inner hall, and asked Gao Yong in a low voice: "Brother Huang...how is he now?"

"Your Majesty, this poison is dangerous. When the poison came out that day, he vomited blood. After writing a letter to General You, he passed out and fell asleep. After a few days, he woke up with a high fever, sometimes sober, sometimes Confused. The imperial doctor searched all over the ancient books, only to find similar poison prescriptions and detoxification methods, but he can't guarantee that it will be effective." Gao Yong said softly, "Your Majesty was still awake for a while, so he ordered the servant Ask the hidden guards to quietly pick up Mr. Lin into the palace, saying that Mr. Lin is good at calligraphy, imitating His Majesty's handwriting to review memorials, and can cover it up for a few days. He also asked the servants to send someone to invite them if they feel that they can't be fooled. You. After taking the antidote, you fell asleep again, but it has been two days now, but there is no sign of waking up."

Lin Xiu had already bypassed the screen and entered the inner hall. Several imperial physicians were standing by with anxious expressions, and they saw Lin Xiu hastily stepped forward to salute.

Lin Xiu waved her hand, and heard Gao Yong whisper: "Your Majesty has secretly instructed that none of these imperial doctors can leave Changle Palace unless he fully wakes up. The person who poisoned him has ulterior motives, so the news of His Majesty's poisoning , no matter what, it cannot be passed on.”

Lin Xiu paused, and said softly: "In that case, why does he want you to find me?"

"Your Majesty said that although there is a estrangement between you brothers and sisters, you, the princess, are his closest relatives in this world. If you know that your majesty is in trouble, the princess will definitely not stand idly by." Gao Yong said slowly, "If you even abandon the princess If His Majesty ignores it, that is his destiny."

Lin Xiu raised her hand to cover her eyes, said nothing, and walked slowly to the bed. Lin Ce was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, unconscious.And at the end of the bed, there was a little girl curled up, holding a gray rabbit in her arms, looking at Lin Xiu with a pair of big eyes curiously.

Lin Xiu glanced at You You, sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her face: "What's your name?"

"You You." You You replied in a low voice.

Lin Xiu nodded lightly: "It's a good name." She looked softly, looked at the little girl's face carefully, and saw obvious tears, "Are you worried about your father?"

You You nodded lightly: "Father, he has been asleep for two days, when will he wake up?"

"Don't worry, your father will definitely wake up. As the lord of the world, how can he have such a bad fate?" Lin Xiu said, she turned her head and glanced at Lin Ce who was still asleep, and lowered her eyes to cover them. "Until your father wakes up, my aunt will protect you. Our Lin family has owned this world for hundreds of years, how could it change hands so easily."
