Chapter 76
However, she believed Yu Hang and the prime minister underestimated the friendship between them.
Lin Xing chuckled, picked up the teacup, and sprinkled it on the book in front of her under the Prime Minister's gaze.
The prime minister's hypocritical mask was completely removed, and his expression became gloomy. Lin Xing did not scare him, but raised one eyebrow to provoke him.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
After a few knocks on the door, a familiar female voice came out, "Sir, Master Yu and Master Shen said they have something important to tell you."
The sudden interruption surprised the Prime Minister, while Lin Xing smiled widely and stared at the shadows of the people on the door. "Let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hang and Shen Ling appeared in front of the two of them. The aftermath of the game made them vaguely guess what had happened, and they saluted with some impatience.
The prime minister did not want to talk to them any more. He sat in silence in the main seat and waited for the two to continue. Yu Hang did not intend to give him a chance to speak, and seamlessly said, "Prime Minister Song, I am here to bring Lord Lin to the palace to meet the emperor on the orders of His Majesty. Please let him go."
The person in the main seat lowered his eyes and turned the teacup in his hand. His expression could not be seen clearly. Seeing this, Yu Hang raised his voice and asked, "Is it possible that the Prime Minister is unwilling?"
He then raised his head and put on a fake smile, "How could that be? As a subject, how could I disobey Your Majesty? I just feel a little sad that I can't catch up with Lord Lin. I wonder if Supervisor Yu can let us talk alone for a few more words?"
Yu Hang frowned, stopped staring at the prime minister, and turned to Lin Xing, seeing her nod silently, and left the room with Shen Ling.
The Prime Minister looked at the closed door without paying any attention to Lin Xing. "It seems that Lord Lin has chosen someone else."
He lowered his voice very softly, like a gust of wind blowing by. Lin Xing stood up and saluted, "I chose the people."
Without waiting for the prime minister to continue, Lin Xing turned around and left. Behind him was the prime minister's vicious eyes. He watched the person in front of him disappear. He was the only one left in the room. He muttered to himself: "You have to pay the price for making a choice."
A strong wind suddenly blew outside, and the door that was not closed tightly was blown open. Only Qingchou was left outside the house. Their eyes met in the air, and Qingchou said hesitantly: "My lord, since the distinguished guest has left, then the banquet..."
"continue."
The prime minister stood up, picked up the wet book on the table, walked outside the house, took the green silk and walked towards the banquet hall.
This gust of wind did not come and go quickly, but instead blew all the way.
"Ouch!" Lin Xing suddenly bumped into something and screamed subconsciously. She pushed aside the hair that was blown in front of her eyes and saw clearly what was in front of her. "Yu Hang, why did you suddenly stop walking?"
Shen Ling said sarcastically, "Could it be that Shopkeeper Lin is going to the palace?"
As soon as he said this, he received two rolls of eyes. Lin Xing ignored him and asked, "Are we really going to the palace?"
"You don't think we are framing the Prime Minister?" Shen Ling asked in surprise.
"Isn't it?" While speaking, Lin Xing kept smoothing her flying hair with her hands.
"It is indeed His Majesty who wants to see you." Yu Hang said in a low voice with his head down.
Shen Ling added: "Maybe to arrange some matters regarding Jiujiang Prefecture."
Lin Xing stopped talking after her doubts were answered. She looked around and found that someone was missing. She looked at the two of them and asked anxiously, "Where's Yun Duo?"
Shen Ling spread his hands and looked at Yu Hang who was lowering his head. Seeing that he had no intention of answering, he poked him hard with his elbow. Yu Hang looked up in panic and met their gazes.
Lin Xing noticed that he was distracted and repeated her question again, her tone becoming more anxious.
"Yun Duo is already on the carriage heading back home."
Three carriages stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. The wind had stopped at this time. Shen Ling took out the fan in his arms and waved it gently, "I wish you two a smooth journey."
"You won't come with us to the palace?"
"The affairs of the Dali Temple have not been dealt with yet. Besides, Su Shaoqing will also leave tomorrow. I must stay in the Dali Temple to prevent any trouble." Shen Ling shook his fan faster. "I guess I can't see you off. Forgive me."
Lin Xing chuckled and patted his shoulder, "You just need to wait for our good news in the capital."
After saying that, he got into the carriage in a cool manner, leaving only his back. Shen Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then he pointed at another carriage with his fan, and after nodding at him, Yu Hang also disappeared outside the mansion.
Shen Ling closed the fan, but his hair was blown up. He looked up at the gray sky and sighed silently. At this moment, a voice sounded, "Shen Ling, when you go back, buy a few strings of candied haws and send them to Yu Mansion. Ask for Uncle Chen's."
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a head popping out of the window of the leading carriage, looking at him with a smile. The man did not wait for his answer and went back inside. The whips were raised high, the horses neighed, the remaining rain water was splashed, and the two carriages galloped forward.
The melancholy he had just felt disappeared, and Shen Ling got on the carriage with a smile. Even though the weather was not good now, it might be sunny tomorrow. He also wanted to buy a string of candied haws to see how delicious they were.
"Tanghulu, sweet Tanghulu~"
Leaving behind them the countless cries of hawkers, they stopped outside the palace gate and then continued on foot. Lin Xing didn't step on the stool, but jumped down lightly. When she saw a person not far away, her eyes trembled again. The person also noticed them and walked towards them.
Soon the three of them met up. Lin Xing gritted her teeth and asked first, "Is Lord Su waiting for us?"
Su Jingfeng's tone was equally stiff, "Yes, His Majesty asked me to wait here."
Lin Xing smiled awkwardly, "Then let's go in?"
The other two nodded at the same time, and they walked into the palace gate. For Lin Xing, this was seeing it with her own eyes in every sense. In order to see the scenery on both sides of the corridor, she had to keep turning her head left and right, but she was afraid that Su Jingfeng would be dissatisfied, so she could only keep moving her eyes and glance at it with her peripheral vision.
She soon became tired. The long corridor surrounded by high red walls seemed to have no end. They walked for a long time but the scenery in front of them remained exactly the same. She couldn't even see the shadow of the palace. If she hadn't looked back and couldn't see the palace gate, she would have really suspected that she had encountered a ghost wall.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Lin Xing turned around and wanted to talk to Yu Hang, but before she could make a sound, she remembered Su Jingfeng beside her and closed her mouth in fear.
Su Jingfeng obviously noticed this, and he said without looking away: "Master Lin, feel free to ask any questions you have."
Lin Xing waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but after taking two steps, she couldn't help but said, "Yu Hang, you... do you have to walk so far every day to attend court?"
"Almost." As soon as the words fell, a reply came from the side, "Sometimes you can take a car."
"Carriage." For some reason, he suddenly added, causing Su Jingfeng to look at him.
Noticing his gaze, Yu Hang and Lin Xing quickly put on the same smile. Although Su Jingfeng was puzzled, he turned his head away.
Finally, the unknown palace appeared. With a target in mind, hope began to rise in Lin Xing's heart.
