Chapter 69 Disregarding Human Relations
Chunsheng wanted to persuade the prince not to act impulsively.
There are 100,000 imperial guards, and it would be of no advantage to the palace if a riot breaks out now.
But at this moment the prince was like an angry lion. If he didn't take action, the prince would definitely come and do it himself.
How could he let his master be charged with fratricide?
After a brief moment of hesitation, Chunsheng hurried to pull Xiao Jin, but was pushed away by Xiao Jin.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat out the blood foam in his mouth.
"Xiao Linyuan, you didn't think I would come into the palace without any preparation while you were awake, did you? His Majesty's men are lying in ambush outside the palace. If I don't leave, they will come in looking for me. It's easy for you to kill me, but you won't be able to protect this palace."
Hearing this, Chunsheng stopped and looked at Xiao Linyuan.
He clearly saw the struggle in the prince's eyes.
The entire capital city was under the control of the imperial guards, and fighting would be a fight to the death.
The old princess and Miss Mianmian have no ability to protect themselves, so no matter who is accidentally injured, the prince will blame himself to death.
"Kill him, don't let him die in Ruifengyuan." His voice was so cold without a trace of warmth.
"yes!"
Chunsheng no longer hesitated and carried Xiao Jin out, as if dragging a New Year pig.
At this time, Song Zijin calmed down and grabbed Xiao Linyuan's arm, "Your Highness, please don't be impulsive!"
"This prince hates him, and you hate him too. Kill him to avenge both of us. Do you still feel sorry for him?"
His chest heaved. He usually hated being threatened by others, and the few times that happened were all thanks to his half-brother.
Song Zijin fought back tears, "How could I feel sorry for him? He is a beast in human form. He threatened me with his family and forced me to do such immoral things. He will get his comeuppance!"
I believe that the prince will be able to deal with him openly one day, instead of using lynching in the palace now. You always have to consider the old princess and the reputation of the palace.
You wouldn't want the legacy built up over hundreds of years by your ancestors to be taken advantage of by scoundrels like Xiao Jin and be accused of some inappropriate crime, right?
Xiao Linyuan slowly loosened his clenched fists, and gently wiped away the tears hanging on her long eyelashes with his rough fingertips, his eyes full of heartache.
"But if I don't kill him, he'll make a fuss everywhere, and I'm afraid you'll be upset."
Song Zijin held his hand and placed it on her pale and cold cheek.
"I don't know when the prince learned of my identity. What happened in Biluozhai last month, the prince must have been very clear about it. In the eyes of Xiao Jin and his people, I'm afraid I've long lost my good reputation and have long since let it go."
Xiao Linyuan closed his eyes to hide his pain.
If she had really let it go, she wouldn't have said so many hurtful words in her dream when she was sick.
The shadow had long since grown into a nightmare, like a maggot attached to the bone, deeply embedded in her flesh and blood, and could not be shaken off.
He tried hard to make her forget all this slowly, but before he could do that for a few days, Xiao Jin's words just now completely tore off the veil.
"I don't want to listen to you this time, but I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"
He was afraid that if Xiao Jin was still alive, Song Zijin would not be able to forget his identity and become estranged from him.
"Your Highness! Don't be impulsive. Your poison hasn't been cured yet. If the other party, driven by Xiao Jin's desperate actions, takes control of the mother Gu, even if I drain all my blood, I won't be able to save you!"
When the poison was mentioned, Xiao Linyuan became a little more sober.
At this time, the old princess's exclamation was heard from the yard.
“What are you doing!”
The two people in the room froze. Xiao Linyuan wanted to get up, but Song Zijin pushed him into the wheelchair, "I'll push you out."
Chunsheng rolled his eyes and finally found an excuse: "He wanted to harm the prince, but the prince counterattacked!"
"Do you think I'm someone you can fool? Xiao Jin has no martial arts skills, so why would he attack Ling Zhi?"
"Mother!" Xiao Linyuan spoke in time.
"He threatened me, so I decided to kill him."
The old princess sighed, "Mother hates him too, but he is your father's blood after all. If you kill him with your own hands, the world will spit at you to death. Lingzhi, mother understands your feelings, but before the poison is removed, please don't make any more trouble."
In her opinion, it was just a matter of enduring for a while.
In the future, he could have used Emperor Guangxi to get rid of Xiao Jin instead of dirtying his own hands.
Xiao Linyuan had calmed down by now. He nodded in agreement and said, "Listen to mother and call Liao Yan back to see him."
The old princess breathed a sigh of relief and gave Chunsheng a wink.
Chunsheng changed from dragging to carrying the person, but just as he lifted the person up and shook him a little, the person in his arms woke up.
Xiao Linyuan's face froze and he urged Chunsheng to send the person to another yard quickly.
Xiao Jin swallowed the blood stuck in his throat and said with a strong voice, "Is King Jinyue afraid that I will tell the old princess the secret?"
Song Zijin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt dizzy and his ears buzzing.
"What secret?"
The old princess looked at Xiao Linyuan, whose face was gloomy, and then looked at Song Zijin, who was absent-minded, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"Why did mother believe his words? Chunsheng, why don't you take him out now!"
"Wait a minute!" The old princess stopped Chunsheng, "Let him speak."
"Mother!" Xiao Linyuan was anxious. "Mother wants to know. Let's go inside and talk slowly."
Xiao Jin sneered and said, "Old Princess, do you know why your son is so confused? Because this girl Mianmian, whom you have high hopes for, is..."
"What's wrong with Mianmian?" The old princess frowned deeply.
Song Zijin shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and begged him in panic not to say anything.
But how could Xiao Jin do as she wished?
It seems that Xiao Linyuan has fallen in love with Song Zijin. If he strikes her with this heavy blow, there will be a lot of excitement in the Jinyue Palace.
When his family is unhappy, he is happy.
Xiao Linyuan groped for the jade bead hidden under the armrest of the wheelchair and was about to pull it out when the old princess stood in front of him, blocking his view.
"Xiao Jin, go ahead."
"Mianmian is my legally married wife."
"Shut up!" Xiao Linyuan roared.
"What!" The old princess turned around suddenly and looked at Xiao Jin in disbelief.
"Not only that." Xiao Jin continued, "I specially arranged for her to seduce my brother. I'm afraid you were all fooled by her pitiful appearance!"
"I'm telling you to shut up! Zijin and you only have a marriage certificate. She has been my woman from the beginning to the end!"
Song Zijin stared blankly at his resolute face, and finally couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Xiao Linyuan held her hand tightly, and the warmth from his palm gradually warmed her cold fingers. "Don't be afraid."
"Lingzhi!" The old princess was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You knew this a long time ago, didn't you?"
"Mother, didn't you say that I took Zijin's innocence and should be responsible for her?"
The old princess felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
"But she is the wife of that bastard Xiao Jin. How could you...how could you disregard human ethics!"
Xiao Linyuan put his arm around Song Zijin's waist and said firmly, "She had no choice but to marry Xiao Jin. No matter what her status was before, she is the one I want to protect now!"
