Chapter 173 The Romantic Queen Mother Uses Her Beauty to Commit Murder 17
The dancers dispersed, and it was time to meet Emperor An to receive his reward.
He called Lin Yi forward, and first praised him, then gave him gold, silver, and jewelry as rewards, and finally asked, "Lord Lin, I am willing to grant you a favor for this expedition. Do you have anything to ask for?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Yi in the middle.
Although he was kneeling, his back was straight and his face was as sharp as a knife, which made him look even more elegant and graceful in the candlelight.
The position of the empress dowager was not far from the emperor, and Haitang could clearly see his every expression.
Of course, Haitang also felt the nervousness of Nalan Yulo beside her.
Look at her little hands grabbing the hem of her skirt...
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!!
Haitang felt that Lin Yi would ask for a marriage, so the plan to ruin their marriage would have to be changed.
She was looking at Lin Yi with interest, and suddenly received a look from Lin Yi, with the smile on her face still on...
When Lin Yi lowered his eyes again, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Protecting the country is my duty. Your Majesty has rewarded me enough. I have nothing else to ask for."
As soon as he finished speaking, the most surprised person was Nalan Yuluo...
Haitang felt a little strange, but she didn't show it on her face. She thought the data received by Jiutong might be wrong.
"Oh? Lord Lin, don't you want anything?"
"I have no other request."
Seeing him like this, he was sure that Emperor An had given up, waved his hand and asked him to go back and sit down, and the singing and dancing in the hall continued.
Nalan Yulo was in no mood to flatter Haitang, so he found an excuse to leave.
But after a while, Haitang also felt a little drunk, and held her forehead with her hand, "Emperor, I can't handle the wine, so I will leave first."
Seeing Emperor And nodded, he whispered, "Okay, be careful."
Haitang nodded.
"My dear ministers, I am too drunk to drink, so I will return to the palace first. Please celebrate well."
"Farewell, Queen Mother."
...
Haitangă±— kept searching through her memory, but always felt like something was not right.
Suddenly a vague memory came into my mind...
This was when Nalan Haitang went to the General's Mansion to play as a child. It was the first time she met Lin Yi. Both of them were not children anymore, so they hit it off right away and had a great time.
As a result, out of curiosity, he was attracted by the man selling candy men at the back door, sneaked out of the house, and was kidnapped by Paihuazi.
It was only after the general at the time blocked the city gates and turned the capital upside down that the people were rescued.
Haitang only has some extremely frightening fragments in her memory. As she was too young and had a poor memory, she had forgotten everything after being frightened.
From then on, the person who went to the General's Mansion to play became Nalan Yulo, not Nalan Haitang.

"Xiao Hongzi, you lead the others forward. I feel a little bored, so I'll lag behind a few steps."
"Yeah."
Haitang rolled up her sleeves and saw a small, faint scar on the inside of her wrist.
This scar was left when Xiao Haitang protected Xiao Linyi.
She was burned by a small silver lock of hers, which fell beside the fire and burned hot...
Haitang seemed to have figured something out.
Maybe she was lost in thought and lagged far behind the palace maids. When she was about to step forward, she was pulled into the rockery.
"ah..."
Before she could utter a word, her mouth was covered by a pair of large hands, and she fell into the man's arms.
pain! !
