Chapter 33: Wearing it again? After the shock last time, she was more...
Chapter 33
Lin Zhiyi roared in his heart: My father, please don’t set a trap for me. The princess’s secret guards may still be around Bitong Courtyard. If you say that, all the goodwill I gained from the princess a while ago will be gone!
Lin Zhiyi's will to survive was at its peak, and Lin Shuo realized that his words had been inappropriate. He coughed lightly and said, "That's good. From now on, you must treat the princess well."
He was so conflicted that he didn't know whether to let this "farce" continue or to withdraw and take the blame before it happened.
"Of course. Don't worry, Daddy. The princess and I are in love with each other. She won't blame me." Lin Zhiyi emphasized this sentence with a hint of meaning.
Lin Shuo stared at him, and Lin Zhiyi looked at him calmly, with determination in his eyes.
"Okay. Just keep this in mind." Lin Shuo stood up and patted Lin Zhiyi on the shoulder. "It's getting late. Do you want to go with me to Lingxi Hall for dinner, or eat in your courtyard?"
Lin Zhiyi smiled and declined: "I won't bother Dad and Mom anymore."
After watching Lin Shuo leave, Lin Zhiyi sighed quietly.
Sure enough, Marquis Ding'an knew the secret of his youngest daughter.
It's a difficult situation. Everyone who knows the situation is acting.
Lin Zhiyi naturally knew Lin Shuo's dilemma.
However, in such an era where imperial power is supreme, it is safer to hide it than to confess.
After all, it has been kept secret for so many years.
Even if something were to happen in the future, she could take the blame on herself and try to get rid of her family.
Especially the master and four sisters.
Mother is bound to be unable to escape, and Daddy... it's better to pick it out if you can. With Daddy around, I can take better care of my four sisters.
Lin Zhiyi thought about the worst possible scenario and was no longer afraid.
What's more, she believed that the princess would not execute her because of their emotional bond.
…
Ye Changning rarely visited the Prime Minister's residence, one to visit the patient, and the other to investigate a case.
No matter what, Cheng Lunian’s attack is still a case.
Cheng Lunian was still unconscious. The Prime Minister's wife was watching over him and crying, while the Prime Minister was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Ye Changning urged, "Sir, Qin Hongjie has been arrested. Do we want to proceed to the next step of confrontation in court?" At the beginning, it was the Prime Minister's wife who cried to the Crown Princess's daughter, and the Crown Princess said a few words in front of the Crown Prince. Therefore, the Dali Temple received the order from the Crown Prince to arrest people.
Ye Changning himself did not expect that Qin Hongjie would attack Cheng Lunian before he could make a move.
Although it was an act of madness, if we really investigate it, we might find out something.
After Qin Hongjie was arrested, his wife also went to the Dali Temple, saying that her husband was avenging his son and it was impossible for him to hurt others for no reason. The other party must have done something that caused her husband's abnormal aggressive behavior.
Ye Changning understood instantly.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, Prime Minister Cheng Miao felt as if he was being placed on a wok of oil.
Cheng Miao knew what bad things his son had done.
First it was Wei Ying, then Qin Xiao, and the most recent was Lin Zhiyi - Lu Nian had murdered all three of these princes-in-law.
The Wei family and the Qin family are both clean families that were transferred back to the capital in recent years. They have little background and no backing. It is fine for Lu Nian to take action against them. As long as he does it cleanly, he can protect him no matter what based on his family's relationship with the prince.
But the Lin family is different.
Lin Shuo, Marquis of Ding'an, was a distinguished warrior, not only for his contributions to suppressing the rebellion of the feudal lords but also for repelling the northern barbarians. He was loyal and unwavering, never siding with one of the princes, a loyal minister. He was highly favored by His Majesty.
Marquis Ding'an only has one precious son, Lin Zhiyi. If anyone touches Lin Zhiyi, wouldn't he be hunted down and killed by him?
There is also Lin Shuo's father-in-law's family, the Mu family, which also has a profound heritage. During the war with the Northern Barbarians, the military supplies donated by the Mu family to the Ministry of Households were enough to be recorded as the first merit.
Another thing is that this is Princess Liyang’s third son-in-law.
Once or twice, never three times.
So... Lin Zhiyi can't move.
But Lu Nian refused to listen. Perhaps because he had tasted the sweetness of the previous two successes, he became fearless - he even dared to secretly attack Lin Zhiyi in the hunting ground!
And in front of the prince, Ye Changning and Xie Junxing!
You are so brave!
Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi was lucky enough to be injured and unconscious, but he did not die.
Otherwise... the Cheng family would have been wiped out by Lin Shuo's troops long ago!
Even so, Cheng Miao did not dare to take it lightly. He helped his son destroy a lot of evidence and deal with many aftermaths.
I just hope that this matter can be suppressed smoothly and never mentioned again.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened. Who could have thought that Qin Hongjie would ambush and attack Lu Nian on the way up the mountain?
Is he really crazy or just pretending to be crazy?
Ye Changning's visit this time put a lot of pressure on Cheng Miao.
If they really confronted him, what if Qin Hongjie was faking his madness and had already found out something? With Ye Xiuluo's reputation, he would definitely continue to dig deeper...
Cheng Miao gritted his teeth and swallowed his blood, smiling and trying to smooth things over. "Nephew Ye, I'm truly ashamed to have troubled you with such a hot day. This was an accident. Please release Lord Qin as soon as possible. He's suffering from the loss of his son is difficult to heal, and it must be a case of madness that led to his random attack. Lu Nian's injuries can be healed. It was my wife who was so concerned that she alarmed the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess in turn alarmed the Crown Prince. This is truly beyond the pale... I'm truly ashamed, truly ashamed!"
Ye Changning had a blank expression on his face. He had already expected this result.
"Master Cheng, are you really not going to hold Qin Hongjie accountable for his mistakes?"
"No pursuit, no pursuit."
"Then, what if Master Cheng wakes up and refuses to give in?"
"No, no, rest assured, Nephew Ye. I will personally write a letter of reconciliation, and I ask Nephew Ye to mediate with the Qin family. Just say that my son was accompanying his mother to Tianlong Temple to pay homage, and accidentally disturbed Master Qin, causing him to miss his son, and causing his illness to flare up. It was truly unjustified."
"In that case, the Crown Prince..."
"I will report this to the Crown Prince. My nephew Ye made a fair judgment. It is my fault for not raising my daughter well... I have caused the Crown Prince to worry."
When Ye Changning came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he not only received a letter of reconciliation written by Cheng Miao himself, but also a considerable sum of money - medical expenses for Qin Hongjie's treatment.
When passing by Zhuque Street, Ye Changning raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
It was dusk, and Lin Zhiyi must have just returned from classes at the Imperial College. He jumped lightly from the carriage with a smile on his face, and he and Zhou Mingyan walked into the Marquis' Mansion together, chatting and laughing with each other's arms around each other.
"Sir? Are you going somewhere else?" The captain of the police beside him asked curiously when he saw Ye Changning rein in his horse.
Ye Changning came back to his senses and kicked his horse's belly: "No, let's go back to Dali Temple."
The Prime Minister's Office wants to reconcile with the Qin family by claiming it was an "accident", but it is still unknown whether the Qin family will agree.
What if the Qin family wants to take this opportunity to investigate the cause of Qin Xiao’s death? That would be interesting.
…
Lin Zhiyi spent a few days of his student life peacefully.
The weather is getting hotter, and people are getting irritated.
Lin Zhiyi, who was sweating profusely after the riding class, was looking forward to the arrival of a heavy rain.
It’s too hot!
Three days later, which happened to be a holiday, heavy rain came as expected.
The night before, dark clouds had begun to gather over the city, and the air pressure was so low it was hard to breathe. Around midnight, lightning and thunder roared, the wind blew violently, and finally, a torrential downpour came crashing down.
Lin Zhiyi felt cool and had a long-awaited dream.
However, with the experiences of the previous two times, she was no longer afraid, and she firmly believed that the jade pendant she carried with her could keep her soul stable.
The familiar scene of Lanyue Palace reappeared, and the fragrance of locust flowers filled the air, making one's mind even more shaky and uneasy.
As if drunk.
Lin Zhiyi relaxed herself and floated lightly for a while, then a strong force pulled her down and she fell into a deep sleep. She was no longer disturbed by dreams and slept soundly.
at the same time.
Jing Yue also fell into a familiar and strange dream. He was a little resistant at first and wanted to struggle to wake up, but he was no match for the special power in the dream. In the end, he heard the lightning, thunder and rain and completely lost consciousness.
I slept soundly in the second half of the night.
The next day, the clear sunshine after the rain shone on the earth.
The air is moist.
Lin Zhiyi vaguely heard a slight noise coming from outside, as if someone was sweeping the yard.
She frowned, feeling inexplicably grumpy about waking up - it was said that today was a day off, she wanted to sleep a little longer, who would start sweeping the yard so early in the morning!
So noisy!
Could it be that little guy Lin Song?
A teenage boy is full of energy, so it's possible that he...
Lin Zhiyi opened his eyes angrily and was about to call Zhu'er in to ask questions when he suddenly found that the environment he was in became unfamiliar.
No, it cannot be said to be strange, but there is a kind of familiar strangeness.
She frowned, looking at the much more gorgeous bed curtains and furnishings, and a ridiculous thought popped into her mind - had she traveled through time again?!
Could it be that I've traveled back to the real world?!
However, as soon as the joy came to my mind, it was extinguished by reason.
No, the environment here is still ancient and quaint, it can't be the modern world.
Lin Zhiyi suppressed the pounding of her heart, calmed herself down, and then immediately touched her chest - after the shock last time, this time she cared more about whether she was dressed as a man or a woman.
Um? ? ?
Lin Zhiyi found the touch mediocre.
She lowered her head in surprise, looking at the folded white satin lining. She gently raised her hand and pried open a gap to check - it couldn't be flatter!
Is she really dressed as a man this time?!
Lin Zhiyi was still in shock, but at a glance, she saw the well-proportioned and attractive abdominal muscles, so she blushed again, lowered her head, widened the slit in her underwear, and admired it openly.
Wow, what a nice figure.
Lin Zhiyi's cheeks were burning. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She became bolder and reached down to explore.
Ahem...the size is good too.
Lin Zhiyi withdrew his hand with mixed feelings, silently digesting the fact that he had traveled through time again.
Judging from the texture of the bed curtains and the quality of the silk lining, the owner of this body must be quite wealthy. Even richer than the young marquis.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the palm of this body over and over again. The slender fingers were so beautiful.
The muscle lines on the arms when making a fist are also particularly alluring.
The smile on Lin Zhiyi's face didn't last long before it froze again.
Wait—when she was checking her eight-pack abs just now, she seemed to have seen something familiar.
Lin Zhiyi lowered her head again and raised her hand to hold up the jade pendant that was exactly the same as the one she had worn before!
No way?!
Jing Yue?!
"Yao'er, hasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess gotten up yet? Didn't Her Royal Highness say yesterday that she wanted to go boating today?" Su Lian's voice came from the outer hall.
Lin Zhiyi was stunned—it was really Princess Jingyue!!!
