Lin Huaisheng stepped up the steps step by step.
He also walked down the steps of another god in this way. The stone steps of Jingci Temple were very narrow and steep, but at that time Lin Huaisheng was surrounded by someone who would protect him; Lin Huaisheng walked very slowly by himself.
He finally came to the altar, but the scenery was the same, nothing more than taking a good look at the two clothes. The two clothes were brand new and had no blood stains. The child blessed by the blood sacrifice has grown up, and the clothes used as a stand-in to protect against disasters have naturally changed accordingly. No matter which one they wear, they are all tailored according to Lin Huaisheng's figure. The Prince Xijing and his wife, who love their children so dearly, have passed away long ago, and only Wen Renyue was the one who accompanied Lin Huai to grow up day after day.
Lin Huaisheng pointed to the clothes on the altar and asked, "So you brought me here today, and even made me change into men's clothes on purpose, just to tell me this now?"
Wen Renyue's lips parted slightly, as if He wanted to speak, but Lin Huaisheng interrupted mercilessly.
"Wen Renyue, what did I ask you to do, and what are you doing?"
He grabbed two sets of clothes, threw them on the ground under Wen Renyue's gaze, and ground them hard with his toes.
Wen Renyue's face turned pale in an instant: "No..." When Wen Renyue chose to tell the truth, he anticipated the possible consequences. But Lin Huaisheng was no longer easily controlled by him, and even controlled him in reverse. Wen Renyue began to become useless, and now even his thoughts of guessing Shengsheng would be lost.
"You told me the truth back then, and then put on two sets of clothes casually. I should be grateful to Ah Yue. It turns out that the one who stabbed the Xijing Palace in the back was my fiancé. He took me away and watched me stay under the fence day and night I can't sleep well, it shows that I mistrusted and attached to him when I was young, but I was just as careless as a pet. After Ayue found out my secret, would there be ridicule, laughing at the fact that there are people in this world who have never had a chance in this life He is dignified and upright to show others his true appearance, and even promised marriage like a woman."
"Ayue, you insist on marrying me, do you want to humiliate me?"
On the high platform, Lin Huaisheng's words turned into sharp knives, stabbing people's heart, forcing Wen Renyue to step back step by step, judged him not worthy to step on this altar.
"No..."
Lin Huaisheng said firmly: "You know I'm afraid, I don't want to, you know everything, but you still press every step of the way. Xijing Prince's Mansion is not here, Lin Huaisheng is insignificant, but you are still willing to pay yourself, and both sides will suffer. Marry a man as a wife. Is this how I and the Prince of Xijing's Mansion will be hated by Wenren Zaifu?"
"But Ah Yue, when my father said he wanted to find a son-in-law for me, he had countless children from poor families to choose from, so it's not up to you. He put the conditions there clearly, you are greedy for power and want to take advantage of the palace to make a fortune, my father and Xijing Palace have never owed you anything."
Everything is logical. The more humble one comes from, the more self-proclaimed one is, but at the most vigorous age, he is engaged to a "little girl" who is so much younger than himself, which is really absurd and humiliating. There must be gossip in the officialdom, and there will be gossip, laughing at him for selling himself for glory even as a man. Heard that people must retaliate, this sentence has been kept in my heart for countless years.
Lin Huaisheng finished his sentence.
"Wen Renyue, you really make me sick."
He said it very seriously, and he could have not said these words, the little princess who left the protection too early would not know thoroughly, these are the judgments drawn by Lin Huaisheng. But one dungeon is one world, Lin Huaisheng can't help but feel angry. After finishing speaking, he quickly restrained himself and realized that he was not Lin Huaisheng from Xijing Palace, nor was he in front of him the ungrateful Wen Renyue. But the other party was more affectionate than him, so he was easily destroyed by Lin Huaisheng.
Wen Renyue became lifeless because of Lin Huaisheng, he seemed unable to speak, and after a long while, he managed to utter a word.
"Shengsheng, you can beat me and punish me..."
Lin Huaisheng turned his face away and refused.
"No. I won't hit you anymore, you don't deserve me to waste a little more affection. What my sister said is right, you are a villain."
Wen Renyue smiled, infinitely scattered.
But these are all true, and he can't dispute a word.
He used to have despicable thoughts, thinking that if he continued to keep the secret of Lin Huaisheng's life experience in the Xijing Palace, he would let this child who could only wear a skirt belong to him. Live in Lin Huaisheng. He is indeed a villain.
A villain is not worthy of appreciating affection.
He turned around and said something else.
"After I realized the purpose of this altar, I made a deal with Lin Qishu."
"I asked for her blood, and I helped her find out the truth about the unjust case in the palace.
"Appreciation, and later I felt that I needed a poor family to check and balance the family, I was quickly promoted, walked into the center of power, and gradually became able to find out the secrets of the year."
"At the beginning, the emperor intercepted a secret letter, which was written by Huo Wuxin, the commander of the Southwest Regional Army. After King Xijing became king, he married a princess, and then built a mansion in the capital. Huo Wuxin rebelled in the southwest, and he was once a subordinate of King Xijing. The emperor suspected that the two still had contact, and even more suspected that King Xijing was the real one. The leader of the rebels, if they find this secret room later, they will kill the Prince of Xijing and his wife."
Wen Renyue bowed his head: "It is impossible to know what was written in that letter back then, but your sister is sure that the palace was implicated. "
"Maybe, sister really found out."
Lin Huaisheng said.
"Not only did she find out that you reported the secret room in detail back then, but she also vaguely touched the edge of the truth."
Wen Renyue admitted with a wry smile: "...Yes. Lin Qishu suddenly cut off the letter and refused to give me this year's letter again. Blood. I have no skills in Beijing and China, and after several times of urging her to no avail, I tried to force her to come to Beijing with the matter of getting married."
Lin Huaisheng nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Ah Yue, look, there are no conscientious people in the world. Even if my sister lives in a small nunnery, she has far more than you can find out. You say it is difficult to check, but it is an excuse for not being careful. "
Lin Huaisheng continued.
"But I'm not much better than you."
"I didn't realize how bloody my life was until I lost my last relative in this world."
Wen Renyue didn't want Lin Huaisheng to be so self-deprecating. His eyes were bloodshot and scarlet, and it took countless restraints to barely appear human in front of Lin Huaisheng.
"I just want you to be well, never change, undisturbed by the world, carefree..."
Lin Huaisheng shook his head.
"But people will always change, Wen Renyue, I have already changed because of you, haven't I?"
As they spoke, the two were silent.
Lin Huaisheng smiled at Wen Renyue: "If you wish me well, please do me one last favor. My sister wants to find out the truth, and so do I."
Wen Renyue understood Lin Huaisheng's unfinished words.
He once tried in vain to trap Lin Huaisheng with deformed love. He loved Lin Huaisheng condescendingly, no matter whether Lin Huaisheng liked it or not, he would force it to him; peeling away the bright and beautiful excuses, the protection is actually an airtight possession.
He loved Lin Huaisheng like this, and Lin Huaisheng finally learned it. While Lin Huaisheng belittled his incompetence, he begged him, whipped him and gave him a chance. Wen Renyue then tried his best to perform in fear.
He loved Lin Huaisheng for what he was like, and Lin Huaisheng treated him like he was.
...
After the two came out of the altar, Wen Renyue closed the secret room. Lin Huaisheng is even more convinced that Wen Renyue did it on purpose, but he still doesn't know the reason.
Wen Renyue could no longer be as close to Lin Huaisheng as when he came here, but his eyes were still fixed on Lin Huaisheng, concerned about any fatigue he might have. Wen Renyue tried to persuade: "I won't lock you up, you should have a good rest after you go back..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the gate of the palace suddenly burst open, and a group of imperial guards surrounded the two of them. Li Guan was dressed in expensive clothes and swaggered appear at the end.
He closed his fan: "Prince Xijing's mansion has been sealed up. As the prime minister, he blatantly disregards the law. Mr. Wen Renyue, you are too crazy these days."
Wen Renyue walked up to Lin Huaisheng, Facing Li Guan's questioning, he looked calm.
"Then His Royal Highness King Yu's mobilization of the forbidden army in the city is too fussy."
Li Guan was choked up by him, and most of his air was lost. He snorted and said: "...If you arrest you, you will be arrested, and you can still turn right and wrong?"
He took out a decree issued by the emperor, and shook it at Wen Renyue proudly.
Wen Renyue stared at Li Guan, then lifted his robe and leaned over to listen to the order.
"Recently, Zaifu has acted in a biased way. The court has become a place of criticism, which is not conducive to the court. The mountains are still high, but the water is sometimes clear and turbid. Looking at the source is clear and upright. From now on, Wen Renyue will temporarily step down from the position of Zaifu and shut himself behind closed doors. Thinking, for a period of one month."
Wen Renyue didn't raise his head again.
"I take orders."
Li Guan signaled to the imperial army: "Send Zaifu back home."
The imperial army is still polite to Wen Renyue, but Wen Renyue has his own strength of character, and the matter has come to an end, and he does not want to make trouble embarrassing. But when he went to hold Lin Huaisheng, Li Guan stopped him.
"Master Zaifu, please go home by yourself."
Wen Renyue stopped immediately and stared at Li Guan coldly: "What do you mean?"
pressure.
"You think about your mistakes behind closed doors, why do you still want your cousin to accompany you. Cousin won't go with you, I will pick her up as a guest in the palace!"
At the end, Li Guan added weakly.
"Father and mother concubine agreed."
Wen Renyue looked at Lin Huaisheng, begging him not to go. Lin Huaisheng gave him a comforting smile and let go of his hand.
He walked down the steps step by step and came to Li Guan.
"I'll go with you, cousin."
Li Guan cheered happily, and ran out with Lin Huaisheng regardless of Wen Renyue and the Imperial Army. He ran fast, and he was the healthiest body at this age. Even though Lin Huaisheng changed into men's clothes, he still followed panting.
It wasn't until the two got into the carriage that entered the palace that Li Guan fell back on his seat happily.
Hearing Lin Huaisheng's panting, Li Guan turned his face to the side with a smile and thanked Lin Huaisheng.
"I said I could take Shengsheng out of Wenren's Mansion, did I lie to you?"
"This is called, praying mantis stalks cicada, while oriole follows."
Li Guan blinked at Lin Huaisheng.
Lin Huaisheng recovered his breath, looked at Li Guan quietly for a moment, and agreed with a smile.
"The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows. My cousin is right."
