The more she thought about it, the more strange it became, but she was not sure. Even if Nianhua really wanted to rebel, what could she do
Thinking of this, Lin Bao sighed feebly.
—Lian Che, are you feeling flustered now
*
After Lin Wanchen and Lin Xingzhou returned, Lin Bao realized that what Yingchun said was true and how serious the current situation was.
According to the information found by Lian Che, they learned that Nian Hua and Yan Chuchu had colluded with important officials in the court to prepare for rebellion, and Yan Guo secretly sent 20,000 troops to lurk outside the capital. They thought it wouldn't be long before this war would end. It’s about to start.
After listening to Lin Wanchen's narration, Lin Bao looked at his frowning expression and felt a little flustered. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying: "Brother, don't be too anxious. But, that Prince An What was the motive for the rebellion?"
"I heard that King An is actually the crown prince of the destroyed Feng Kingdom, which happened to be destroyed by the Lian Kingdom. This marriage with the Yan Kingdom was probably planned a long time ago, in order to restore the country one day." Lin Wanchen said this.
Hearing this, Lin Bao was extremely surprised. She thought Nian Hua was just a child from an ordinary family, and the noble aura about him was also due to his personal knowledge and accomplishments. But what she never expected was that he was actually The prince of Feng Kingdom!
If he is the prince of Feng Kingdom, then isn’t Ruyan the princess of Feng Kingdom? Now that Nianhua has returned to the country, he must be eager to kill all the members of the Lian family, so Xiahou Jinnian can inevitably escape. But if Ruyan likes Xiahou Jinnian so much, then there is no possibility of them falling in love again
Lin Bao suddenly pursed his lips, but then he heard Lin Xingzhou say: "It's a coincidence that Prince An's sister really likes Mr. Xiahou. It's a pity that Prince An's parents were both killed by Mr. They were killed by their own parents, but in the end, General Xiahou and his wife did not come back alive. It is said that they were killed by secret guards in the palace. "
-If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Xiahou Jinnian's parents were the enemies of Ruyan's late parents
Lin Bao suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore. He really couldn't imagine how Ruyan would face Xiahou Jinnian in the future if he knew about this. She understands Ruyan's temperament. That stubborn little girl is a person who values love and righteousness and has a clear distinction between love and hate. She is afraid that she will only fall in love with one man in her life, but now that she encounters this kind of thing, she is afraid that she will hate herself to death. Bar.
After thinking about it, she sighed helplessly, raised her eyes to look at Lin Wanchen, and finally couldn't help but said: "Then... Brother, how is the emperor's current situation? King An was also his friend before, but now he has been betrayed by his brother. He must be very sad.”
"Sad? This is probably what your daughter's family is thinking. The emperor will never show his emotions in front of outsiders, unless he trusts that person extremely and is willing to show every side of himself to that person. However, today, He is really special. He always pays attention to his appearance, but this time he looks sloppy. According to Eunuch An, he seems to have been deceived by that Eunuch Bao. In my opinion, it is better to be deceived, so as to avoid the emperor getting into trouble again. On that eunuch."
Lin Wanchen chuckled, thinking of Lian Che's bloodshot eyes. What impressed him most was the faint cyan color under his eyes. He must have suffered from insomnia at night.
However, to be able to make Lian Che look like this, the eunuch must be very capable!
After hearing Lin Wanchen's words, Lin Bao felt his head was buzzing, but there was a hint of joy in his heart - could it be said that Lian Che recognized that the woman was not her for the first time yesterday? But once he realizes that the woman is not her, I'm afraid Lian Che will be even more disappointed and panicked.
However, now that we are worried about Lian Che's situation, it is better to worry about the possibility of rebellion first. After all, the former is just a personal feeling, but the latter is related to the survival of the entire Lian country!
After thinking for a while, Lin Bao spoke again: "Then how does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?"
"This is a state secret. I can't tell you even if I want to. Wanyan, you'd better go back and rest first. Pack your things early these days. I'm afraid I may have to let you go out to avoid the limelight in a few days. ”
After saying that, he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her out.
Lin Bao originally wanted to ask something more, but he had already been kicked out of the door.
Somehow, she felt like something big was about to happen.
*
Facts have proved that Lin Wanchen's analysis was correct. Nian Hua and Yan Chuchu had been preparing to rebel for a long time. However, it was the day after Lian Che summoned the father and son to talk. It can be said that the entire capital was beaten. caught off guard.
When 20,000 elite soldiers invaded the capital, all the people panicked, but only a part of the elite soldiers stayed to suppress the people without burning, killing, robbing, and robbing them. The other elite soldiers all poured into the palace. .
When the ministers rushed to the palace after receiving the news, the entire palace was already covered in blood.
Lin Bao, who received the news, took advantage of the lax guards in the mansion to sneak out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Yingchun on his back and went straight to the palace.
It can be said that there are two completely different scenes inside and outside the palace. One side is a bloody battlefield, but the other side is a quiet street.
What Lin Bao didn't understand was that these elite soldiers did not harm any common people in the capital, and there was even no one guarding the palace gate. It can be said that they were too conceited and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to killing the enemy, but this also gave She could take advantage of it.
Just when Lin Bao hurried to Chaoyang Palace, Lian Che was already under attack from both sides.
Looking at the guards of the Yan Kingdom who were covered in blood and holding blood-stained swords, Lian Che smiled with his lips curled up. The sword in his hand was pressed against the ground. His charming eyes were full of coldness. Even though he was in a mess, he still looked noble. The breath and the commanding aura are still not to be underestimated.
Nianhua stood behind the guards who besieged him in a battle robe. He looked at his embarrassment with an expressionless face, and calmly uttered three words: "Kill without mercy!"
It can be said that these three words have been spoken a handful of times since Lian Che came to the throne. In his world view, no one is born guilty. If it is a small mistake, it is worthy of forgiveness, but once it is done He would only say those three words to the judge if it was something that could not be forgiven.
Because of this, in the minds of the people of Lian State, Lian Che has always been a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people. He knew the right measures and could give you a chance when you sincerely repent, but he would not give it to you when you committed a second offense. Forgiveness, of course, is still the case.
At least, he doted on a little eunuch a few days ago, and that was not because the little eunuch did anything wrong.
-This is a sanity that the emperor rarely has.
But now, Lian Che felt that his life was really boring. It would be nice if he could die like this. Why not start over in the next life
Therefore, when the sword was thrust at him, he did not resist.
It’s just that good people have their own destiny, and this makes sense!
With a sound of "咻-", all the guards around him came to the end. At a glance, there were no major wounds, but if you looked closely, you could see the dazzling blood marks on their necks.
-As far as he knows, only the Nanshan sect in the world is good at this kind of Kung Fu!
"Head!"
A group of men in white clothes rushed in with swords. Some stepped forward to support Lian Che, while others took the opportunity to surround the soldiers and ministers who were trying to rebel.
Nianhua looked at this scene in astonishment, looked at Lian Che, and said, "You have known for a long time that I will force the palace today, so you released the news to the Nanshan Sect a few days ago?"
-Sure enough, he shouldn't underestimate his opponent!
I saw Lian Che standing in front of several young men in white, looking at him coldly with raised eyebrows, "I did expect that you would rebel and force the palace in these days, so I let the news out in advance, but I didn't expect it would be today. But don’t you think it’s too late to pursue these matters now?”
Nianhua pursed his lips, and there was not much surprise on his face. After all, he did not have too many expectations for this battle. Even if he really succeeded in forcing the palace, he would not ascend the throne. Since Yan Guo If you want it that much, just give it to them.
All he wanted was to live a peaceful life on the hill with Ruyan.
Just when he opened his mouth to answer, Yan Chuchu suddenly rushed in. He was about to rush forward and throw himself into Lian Che's arms, but he was kicked to the ground by a woman in white. What was funny was that when he saw her fall, he No one came forward to help her up.
Yan Chuchu naturally knew that the situation was now reversed. She clutched her belly and crawled to Lian Che's feet with difficulty. Her dirty hands grabbed his robe, her eyes filled with mist, "Brother, listen to me, in fact, I don't I don’t intend to rebel with him, but my years have forced me to rebel. Senior brother, can you forgive me—"
Everyone only found it funny when they heard what she said. Then they looked at Nian Hua, who had a calm expression on his face, as if the "Nian Hua" she mentioned was not the same person as him.
Lian Che kicked her away in disgust, pointed his sword at her delicate neck, and said in a cold voice: "In the past, I remembered the relationship between you and my classmates for seven years and didn't care about you hurting Bao'er, but now you have done this After such a thing, why should I forgive you?"
-If he hadn't been thinking about her identity and their friendship, just because he hurt Lin Bao, he would have made her unable to recover forever! Now she actually wants him to forgive her, it's simply delusional!
After hearing his words, Yan Chuchu's face turned pale, she suddenly tightened her clothes around her lower abdomen, curled up on the ground, and murmured in pain: "Child... child... my... child..."
Nian Hua on the side was shocked, she was actually pregnant!
Although he usually hates her, this child is his blood after all. After all, it is the first child in his life. How can he ignore her!
Nian Hua hurriedly threw away the long sword that was protecting her, and was about to pick her up, but without thinking, Yan Chuchu pushed his hand away, stood up stubbornly, looked at Lian Che with tearful eyes, and sobbed: " Senior brother, can I use this child to make amends for you... Don't blame me, don't blame me... "
Suddenly, everyone took a breath of cold air.
—Does this woman still have any sense of shame? My own child is almost gone and I don’t know how to feel distressed. I actually use my child as an excuse to plead with others!
The disciples of the Nanshan Sect on the side all cast her disdainful eyes, but Lian Che's expression remained unchanged and he said coldly: "Even if you die in front of me, it won't be enough for me to forgive my hatred. And - just because you hurt Bao'er, I will..." I won’t make it easy for you!”
Forgiveness in the past does not mean understanding in the future. Now Bao'er is missing and has not been found. The fake Bao'er a few days ago turned out to be Yan Chuchu who helped fool him! How can he forgive, and how can he forgive
The disciples were listening with great interest, but when they heard it, they were stunned. They looked at each other and whispered: "Who is Bao'er?"
—Why have I never heard the leader mention it
After hearing his heartless words, Yan Chuchu didn't have much hope for herself anymore. There was a dull pain in her lower abdomen and she almost had no strength in her legs.
At this moment, a petite figure appeared at the door. Looking at the intact Lian Che, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to run towards him, but she saw Yan Chuchu picking up the ball on the ground like crazy. The long sword stabbed at her.
Lin Bao couldn't dodge, and her ferocious face was all he could see. She heard her shout: "Bitch, I want you to go to hell with me and die together!"
She also heard Lian Che shout loudly: "Bao'er, be careful!"
But then, she heard a "咻-" sound, and her eyes turned white. Before she could recover, she looked into Nian Hua's clear eyes.
She heard Nian Hua's lips parted slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and his brows and eyes were full of joy, and he whispered: "I finally did something for you."
Lin Bao was stunned. He put his hands through his armpits and watched as the sword pierced his chest. A beautiful blood rose immediately bloomed on his chest.
But he didn't seem to feel the pain. He just panted and slowly raised his hand to touch her cheek. His warm fingertips wiped away the coldness on her face. He smiled like a child and said, "Why are you here?" I cried-"
Lin Bao's eyes widened, and something seemed to be blocked in her throat, preventing her from making a sound. She just stared blankly at him as he struggled to wipe away the tears on her face with gentle and careful movements.
After wiping away her tears, Nianhua lay weakly on her shoulder, pressed against her cheek, and gasped: "Hug me..."
"… good."
She squeaked out a word and stretched out her hands to hold him carefully, for fear of hurting him.
Satisfied Nian Hua smiled again, and breathed into her ear: "Lin Bao... Actually... I am happy... You have been with me for a long time, I think... you have always been like this... Looking at you, if... I can... If you die, then I will... die without regrets."
After that, he lay quietly on her shoulder and became motionless, not even breathing could be heard.
Lin Bao felt her whole heart twitching violently. She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly. Tears continued to overflow from her eyes, and she cried helplessly: "No, Nianhua, don't die... don't die, don't..."
He was clearly still a living being just now, but now...
The more Lin Bao cried, the fiercer he became, and finally he fainted without breathing -
