Chapter 45 He seems unable to do it anymore
Her identity was too special. As Xiao Jin's wife, she would not be accepted as a servant in the palace.
If her identity were to be exposed one day, she had no idea how furious Xiao Linyuan would be...
I'm afraid I won't have any friends anymore.
She just hoped that the secret guards could quickly retrieve the two herbs needed to cure the poison. She wanted to leave the capital before Xiao Jin went completely crazy.
Anger was replaced by helplessness. Xiao Linyuan pinched his fingertips randomly and couldn't find his own voice for a while.
No matter how difficult the situation on the battlefield was, he had always been decisive and had never been as indecisive as he was at this moment.
"If you wish, you can stay in the palace forever. This king, this king can..."
His heart was clamoring for him to ask her to stay, but his mind was persuading him that the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law should not be broken.
He has always been a devout believer in etiquette and laws, and he always acts in accordance with etiquette, and his words and actions are in strict accordance with the rules.
In his father's words, he was too stubborn in maintaining a dignified figure and protecting his lonely soul.
Now this ritual has truly become a shackle that binds him and a cage that imprisons him.
Song Zijin laughed at himself, "The prince wants me to practice my medical skills, isn't it so that I can have the opportunity to venture out? If I stay in the palace, my Yuli Clinic will be in vain!"
The carriage fell into silence for a long time, and the air was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Song Zijin lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the hustle and bustle of people coming and going on the street, forcing himself not to be greedy.
But my heart is empty, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot contain it.
Xiao Linyuan stared at her back, confused and at a loss.
If she was forced to stay before Xiao Jin's faction was eliminated, she would have to hide in the backyard and not see anyone for the rest of her life.
A bright and lively person like her shouldn't be trapped in a dark place. It's unfair to her...
She should be a living person, not someone's.
Moreover, she is a person who cares about her reputation, so she probably wouldn't choose to follow her uncle without any name or status.
The current plan is to get rid of Xiao Jin as soon as possible.
Afterwards, it would be best if Song Ze could be rehabilitated, but if not, then she would be given a new identity.
Only by shedding the past can we be reborn.
As for letting her leave the palace, it seemed that he was no longer able to do it.
…
The carriage was speeding through the busy streets when a sharp neigh suddenly broke the silence in the carriage and the carriage braked suddenly.
The carriage was shaking violently, and seeing Song Zijin's body falling forward, Xiao Linyuan held onto the carriage with one hand and her waist with the other, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered soothingly, his voice steady and firm.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Song Zijin gasped for breath, still in shock.
"What's going on!" Xiao Linyuan shouted at the driver.
The groom replied, "Your Highness, it's Minister Xiao."
Xiao Jin?
What is he going to do?
Outside the carriage, Xiao Jin had already stepped out, his steps were calm, his sleeves fluttered, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he had a faint smile on his face, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
The women around him were all attracted by his attention and chattered about him non-stop.
He walked straight to the carriage of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I want to see Mianmian."
Xiao Linyuan naturally refused: "She is already a member of my palace and has nothing to do with Minister Xiao anymore. Minister Xiao, please respect yourself."
"Your Highness, why don't you ask Mianmian what she thinks?"
"She doesn't want to see you. Minister Xiao, please move the carriage away quickly."
"About her parents..."
Song Zijin quickly interrupted him: "Sir, I'll go down now, wait a moment!"
Xiao Linyuan hooked his hands around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms with a little force, making her sit down.
He leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your family has been settled, why are you afraid of him?"
"He might be trying to test whether I know about the death of my family members. Besides, my personal indenture and travel pass are still with him. We can't fall out with him now." She spoke nonsense seriously.
He was simply afraid that Xiao Jin would not keep his mouth shut and make their relationship public in this busy city.
"Your Highness, if he were desperate, we would both die here today. It's just a few words. You are still nearby, so I will not be in danger." She comforted him.
Xiao Linyuan then released his arm, "Don't leave my sight."
"Um!"
Xiao Jin held his head high and chest out, with the attitude of a winner, and brought Song Zijin to the entrance of the alley.
A dozen tall and strong servants surrounded the entrance of the alley and separated the crowd.
Xiao Linyuan lifted a corner of the car curtain, tightly locking the place where the two were.
Why are there so many blind people jumping around in front of him today?
Why is he so close to her? Doesn’t this scumbag have no interest in her?
Bastard, how dare you touch me!
Fortunately, this little thing knows how to dodge.
He was in a bad mood and simply called Wang Ge over. "What's the progress on Lu Guang?"
"Your Highness, the Xiao Mansion is like an iron barrel. It's not advisable to act rashly, as it's easy to alert the enemy."
“…”
Xiao Jin seemed to be torturing Xiao Linyuan on purpose.
I chatted with Song Zijin about the weather, food and clothing, but we didn't get to the point for a long time.
It was not until he saw the gentleness on Song Zijin's face gradually cracking that he reached out and touched her face, "Madam, you've gained weight."
Song Zijin took a step back to avoid his dirty hands, and rolled his eyes inwardly, "King Jinyue has never treated me badly when it comes to food."
His original intention was to satirize the Xiao family's malice, but Xiao Jin not only did not blush, but laughed out loud.
"Very good, it shows that Madam is indeed capable of seducing people. She must have taken good care of my brother."
His voice was ambiguous and there was a hint of madness in his eyes. Song Zijin couldn't help but shiver.
The humiliation that had torn at her wounds countless late nights came back to her.
I felt like I had been stripped naked, standing in this busy downtown area with everyone pointing and talking at me.
"I have done what the master asked me to do, but what about what the master promised me?"
Xiao Jin deliberately didn't answer and glanced at the palace carriage. "Why don't you first tell me in detail about the details of your relationship with my brother."
Song Zijin almost vomited in front of him.
It's broad daylight, isn't he afraid of a reaction in the street?
Yes, people with this fetish might feel more excited when doing handjobs in public.
He's truly a villain you won't see in a century.
"Sir, please tell me first whether my father has recovered or not, and then I will tell you again. How about that? Sir, you have great magical powers, so you must have sent someone to heal my father, right?"
She stared at Xiao Jin with a pair of innocent big eyes, deliberately trying to sabotage him.
Xiao Jin's eyes darkened, like a giant python whose peace was disturbed, exuding a violent emotion.
"Well, the letter will arrive in a few days. If you want to see your family soon, you have to work harder. You did a good job today, keep it up. And don't even think of any other bad ideas. You know I can bring ruin to you and your family at any time."
Song Zijin clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the shame in his heart, "Okay, I understand."
Xiao Jin lost interest and let Song Zijin leave.
He's been in a lot of trouble lately.
After getting on the carriage, we headed straight to Qiyun Temple.
——
Because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the old princess ordered people to prepare a family dinner.
When Song Zijin heard the news, she wanted to refuse, but since the old princess came to invite her personally, she couldn't refuse.
The old princess specifically asked her to wear the clothes she had given her a few days ago. Song Zijin was shy and had to agree. After she composed herself, she chose the most low-key goose yellow skirt to change into.
The banquet was held in Tingtao Courtyard.
When Song Zijin arrived, he heard laughter coming from the yard from afar.
When I entered the door, I found a strange man in the yard accompanying the old princess to appreciate the flowers.
