Chapter 9

Brother, why do you do this? It won't help if you hurt yourself. ".

Lin Changqing hurriedly walked under the big tree at the door, and grabbed a ten-year-old beggar who was poking his head out from behind the tree, "What are you doing sneakily?"

The little beggar was a little afraid of the angry Lin Changqing. This man was good-looking, but he had a bad temper. He boldly handed Lin Changqing a white cloth bag, "Lin, Mr. Lin, this was given to me by Miss Xu's family in the middle of the night last night." , she asked me to hand it over to you."

Lin Changqing took it and opened it, and what he saw was the mahogany hairpin that he personally pinned on Zhuer's hair yesterday. He grabbed the little beggar's collar and said, "Tell me, where did Xu's family go?".

The little beggar's body was hanging in mid-air, his face was red from being strangled, "I, I don't know, sir, please forgive me."

Ji Bu and Wei Jia came over and rescued the little beggar from the furious Lin Changqing. The little beggar's feet touched the ground, and he ran away, and disappeared after a while.

Wei Jia said with a cold face, "Brother Lin is really confused, then Miss Xu's family is leaving, how can she tell you where she is going?"

Lin Changqing sat down on the steps of Xu's gate in frustration, and said to the welcoming team, "You all go back, tell my father, I will go back later.".

The members of the Lin family who had come to greet the bride happily, saw that the bride had run away, and they all drooped their heads and turned back.

Lin Changqing sat on the steps, although he was still wearing the happy groom's clothes, but he was no longer as energetic as before.He knew in his heart that besides that person, who else could make Xu's family, a big family in the capital, move clean overnight?Lin Changqing really regretted it.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the number of people on the street began to increase. Many passers-by pointed to the three people who were sitting or standing in front of Xu's house.

Together with Wei Jia, Ji Bu pulled Lin Changqing up, and Ji Bu carefully helped Lin Changqing dust off the hem of his groom's clothes.When Wei Jia saw Ji Bu's movements, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ji Bu said in a gentle tone, "Brother Lin, you've already left, it's useless to think about it, let's go back to your home and talk to Uncle Lin."

Wei Jia's tone was displeased, "Discuss? What's there to discuss? Let's go, let's drink flower wine." After speaking, he pulled Lin Changqing away.

Lin Changqing stood still, "You guys go first, I want to be calm and calm, I really trouble you two dear friends today."

Ji Bu looked worried, "I'll accompany you."

Lin Changqing shook his head.

Ji Bu wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Wei Jia.

On the bustling street full of traffic, Lin Changqing's red wedding gown surprised many people.He wandered around without focus, and Lin Changqing felt like he had turned into a fly, and wherever he went, there were already woven spider webs waiting for him.

He couldn't believe it, he and Zhu'er ended like this, he looked at the mahogany hairpin in his hand, remembered Zhu'er's pretty appearance yesterday, and remembered every detail of him and Zhu'er from childhood to adulthood.

When Lin Changqing returned home, every day he either drank to relieve his sorrows, or stared in a daze with Zhuer's ghostly talisman-like paintings.He didn't hate Zhu'er's temporary repentance of the marriage, he was afraid that something might happen to Zhu'er.The Xu family's property in the capital changed owners overnight. He went to search and ask, but found nothing, and had no clues at all.

After two days of this, the servant finally brought back the news of Pearl, her bad news.

Lin Changqing didn't expect that although the Xu family disappeared overnight, he didn't expect that they just moved from the west of the city to the south of the city.On the eve of their marriage, the palace issued an imperial decree to the Xu family, and the emperor betrothed Xu Zhu'er to the Zheng family, a salt merchant in the capital.The Zheng family's son is a fool, so of course Xu Zhu'er would not do it.But the swords and guns of the Imperial Forest Army and the imperial decree of the emperor forced her to obey.

With tears in her eyes, Zhu'er handed the mahogany hairpin to her maid, who secretly handed it to the little beggar at the door, telling him to wait for Lin Changqing.

Xu's family moved to Zheng's house in the south of the city overnight, and Xu Zhu'er was suppressed by the imperial army and defeated by the fool.In the bridal chamber, Zhu Er refused to follow, was beaten all over by the fool, lost too much blood, and died.

Xu Zhu'er's mother died since she was a child, and Mr. Xu raised her up alone. Seeing his daughter's tragic death, Mr. Xu was disheartened.Even if he sued, no one dared to accept the paper.He slammed his head into the big vat in front of Zheng's house and died with his head broken.

Lin Changqing rushed to Zheng's house, followed by Ji Bu and Wei Jia, they were afraid that Lin Changqing would do something stupid.Lin Changqing didn't do anything, he just held Zhu'er's body carefully in his arms, got on the horse, and galloped out of the city.

Jin Yiwei, who had been secretly following Lin Changqing, rode his horse and followed.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Changqing finally stopped his horse.Holding Pearl's body, he came to the Qingshui River where he had wanted to bring her for a long time. He said to Zhu'er in his arms, "Madam, the scenery here is so beautiful. I told you before that after getting married, My husband wants to take you on a tour of the East Qin landscape. We have seen enough scenery, let’s have a few more children, the daughter is like you, and the son is like me. You teach your daughter to embroider and weave, and I teach my son to ride a horse and read. Wife, why are you so cruel? Let's go first..."

Lin Changqing's beautiful eyes, black as agate, became crystal clear because of tears.He kissed Pearl's bloodless lips, and whispered in Pearl's ear the love words they had spoken before.

A few horses in the distance, and the heroic and tall Jinyi guards looked at the heartbroken Lin Changqing, and they couldn't help but feel a little moved.Peng Yue, the new commander of Yulongmen Jinyiwei, who was leading, showed a little sympathy on his handsome face, but sympathy was sympathy, and things still had to be done.He ordered the men around him, "Let's go, take Lin Changqing down."

Lin Changqing, who was immersed in grief, didn't notice the five Jinyi guards approaching at all, only felt that he was suddenly pulled up, Zhu'er's body slid to the ground, and he yelled like crazy, "Zhu'er, lady, let me go, You let me go."

How could he defeat Jin Yiwei, whose martial arts were unpredictable, and he was immediately tied up and stuffed with cloth strips in his mouth. Peng Yue thought that Lin Changqing was too noisy, so he knocked Lin Changqing unconscious with his hands.

Ji Bu and Wei Jia watched Lin Changqing being kidnapped helplessly, they had no choice but to do anything, they were both scholars who knew only three-legged cat kung fu, how dare they fight against Jin Yiwei.

Ji Bu looked sad, Lin Changqing, can you come back?

Wei Jia looked at him, but said nothing.When those people were gone, they came out from behind the tree, put Pearl's body on the horse, and rode back to the city.

When Lin Changqing woke up, he found that he was already in the palace.He didn't know which palace he was in now, he just felt that it was luxurious and cold,

The binding rope on his body has been loosened, and his body is a little sticky and unbearably sticky, because of running, his body is covered in mud and sweat.He got up from the ground, and the dark blue gauze robe was torn many holes, so he simply took off the robe.

Lin Changqing looked around the palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, and layers of gauze curtains, as if there was no end.It should be evening now, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit the window lattice, making the room even more deserted and gloomy.The floor is covered with a red tapestry, a table covered with a golden dragon tablecloth, a mahogany carved dragon chair, and... the emperor sitting on the dragon bed.

Qin Yufeng looked at Lin Changqing, starting to look at him since he was carried in by Jin Yiwei and thrown to the ground.The man's robe was in tatters, his black hair was disheveled, and his expression seemed to be confused or sober.The beautiful eyes had lost their former brilliance. Qin Yufeng still remembered that when he discussed the strategy of using troops with himself that day, the expression reflected in his beautiful eyes was moving and scorching.

He looked at Lin Changqing who was heartbroken, and looked at himself with a blank face. How could this person be so bold that he would not salute himself when he saw him?Qin Yufeng's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and Longyan's face was dark and unclear.

Lin Changqing looked at Qin Yufeng and asked him, "Who are you? Where is this?".

Qin Yufeng sneered and said nothing.

Lin Changqing only felt that there were many dragons flying in front of his eyes, each one was huge, entwining himself, getting closer and more breathless.Qing's eyes darkened, and she fell straight down.

The moment he fell to the ground, Qin Yufeng flew forward, held Qin Yufeng in his arms, and shouted, "Prince doctor, hurry up and announce the doctor.".

Qin Yufeng didn't notice the sneer from Lin Changqing's mouth in his arms.

Lin Changqing was put under house arrest and placed in the emperor's bedroom.

The court and the public were shocked because the son of Marquis Wei, the capital, was imprisoned by the emperor.A group of old ministers headed by the Taifu gave up their sons every day, urging the emperor to stand up, not to miss the state affairs because of a man.

The virtuous king was very quiet and didn't express any opinions. Master Weihou Lin, because of the sudden death of his daughter-in-law and the confinement of his son, got sick in a fit of anger and never went to court again.

Qin Yufeng picked out the official papers for review, and those papers that asked the emperor to stand up and released Lin Changqing were all picked out, and Wang Fu sent someone to take them out and burn them.

Qin Yufeng thought of Lin Changqing's attitude these days, and he was a little uncertain about that person's mind.Lin Changqing stayed by his side very quietly these days.No noise, no noise, no talking.

He thought that Lin Changqing would question him and make him let her go, but Lin Changqing didn't do anything, just sat quietly on the carpet in the hall all day long, staring at the window lattice in a daze.

Qin Yufeng tried to talk to him, sometimes asking him, "What are you thinking?".

Lin Changqing turned his head and smiled at Longyan who was close at hand, "I miss you".

Qin Yufeng asked again, "Miss me? What do you miss me for?"

Lin Changqing looked at him and smiled again, "I want to kill you".

Qin Yufeng smiled instead of anger, "You want to kill the king? Do you have the ability?"

Lin Changqing turned his head away, stopped talking, and continued to stare at the window lattice in a daze.

Wang Fu once had the courage to persuade Qin Yufeng, "Your Majesty, forgive me for talking too much, this Mr. Lin is not so easy to serve. The most important thing is that he has no love for His Majesty, only hatred. You leave him here like this." By your side, the old slave is afraid that he will be unfavorable to you, after all, he is not... ".Wang Fu almost said the word Jiang Xiang, this is the largest in the palace
