Chapter 185 The Storm is Coming
Do not know why…
Such an illusion suddenly emerged in Li Chengce's mind.
And the sudden joy slowly faded and shattered in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Chuangmang suddenly stepped forward, wanting to give some advice, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.
……
the other side.
In Shaohua Palace, Concubine Xiao couldn't help but feel nervous and worried after hearing Lin Acai's story.
Turning back, he suddenly looked at his obviously quiet younger brother and scolded him:
"Chang Xiu...you must not be petty with Sister Acai about this matter. I know you are worried that she is afraid that the prince will try his best to snatch him away, but you have to believe in Acai. There is no way she will let the prince fulfill his wish."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Acai suddenly nodded in agreement: "That's right, Madam, that's what I thought at the time."
"A Cai...but why do you want to save his temper?"
Xiao Jue still felt aggrieved about it.
"Don't tell me... you haven't considered that this is the imperial palace. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it and exaggerates it, the entire city of Kyoto will surely become the target of your criticism."
Looking at the worried eyes of the man in front of her, Lin Acai knew that although he felt uncomfortable, he was more worried about herself.
Rumors are scary, and she was afraid that her daughter A Cai would be hurt by the rumors.
“…Don’t worry, little brother, you don’t have to worry.
Ever since I became a prostitute, I have decided to let go of everything and will not be hurt by any rumors.
As long as you believe that I understand my original intention of saving people, other people’s opinions are not important to me, Lin Acai.”
Lin Acai's words suddenly made the man in front of her feel a little ashamed.
He admitted that his mind was filled with the damning image of Ah Cai saving the prince's temper.
He really went too far.
Thinking of this, the man closed his eyes silently, put aside all distracting thoughts, and when he opened his eyes again, he looked at the little woman in front of him.
"Acai...it's all my fault, please forgive me...I was blinded by jealousy and thought wrongly about you."
"It's okay... I don't blame you."
In fact, Lin Acai felt more or less uncomfortable.
But to be fair, it would be really abnormal if a man whose heart is filled with her had no thoughts at all after hearing what the prince said.
"Brother... Anyway, you have to remember that no one can separate us. Only the distrust between us can erase our relationship. Since I have agreed to marry you, it means that I am willing to be of one mind with you and stay with you for the rest of my life."
Looking at Xiao Jue's eyes full of guilt, Ah Cai suddenly raised her head and looked straight at him.
“…Brother, do you know?
My heart is actually very small, so small that it can only accommodate you, and no one else can squeeze in. "
As soon as the words fell, the two hugged each other.
"..."
So touching.
Concubine Xiao, who was listening attentively, suddenly sighed.
"This is a marriage blessed by God. Changxiu, you must cherish Ah Cai. The two of you must be together forever."
"Your Highness, I have already ordered the dinner to be prepared. Would you two like to stay and have dinner together before leaving?"
Eunuch Xu came in at the right time and whispered in the imperial concubine's ear.
"Let's prepare together. Today I will take this opportunity to keep the two of you here and discuss their wedding arrangements with them."
The imperial concubine just waved her hand and made the decision on her own with a smile.
"As you command, I will arrange it right away."
Eunuch Xu's face was filled with excitement that he could not conceal. He quickly retreated from everyone's sight and headed straight for the small kitchen in Shaohua Palace.
After Eunuch Xu left, Concubine Xiao suddenly spoke again: "Chang Xiu... The prince suddenly summoned Lin Acai into the palace...
In fact, it was the one in Kunning Palace who made it happen, did you know that?"
Xiao Jue nodded and looked at his elder sister.
It was obvious that he knew everything, but he clearly felt somewhat remorseful.
“…Although I already knew this, I didn’t expect them to act so quickly. I…”
At this point, Xiao Jue's face was filled with resentment: "This vicious woman will never be at peace until she falls. Doesn't she like to stir up trouble?
Looks like I have to start early."
Hearing this, Lin Acai's eyes narrowed and she looked at Xiao Jue in surprise: "Brother...you have to think carefully and don't act rashly, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
Xiao Jue consoled him: "Half of the officials on the list have been dismissed. Now is the right time to act. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we will become passive."
“…In that case, I support you, but you must be well.” Lin Acai bit her lips tightly, and when she looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes were filled with undisguised worry.
At this time, looking at the pair of lovers whose eyes were fixed on each other, Concubine Xiao, who had been smiling in the distance, also fell into deep thought.
Then nod...
……
I had dinner in the palace.
When Lin Acai followed Xiao Jue to the palace gate, Bai Jing and the coachman from the General's Mansion had been waiting there for a long time.
"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess..."
Seeing that the two were safe and sound and walking slowly towards him with smiles on their faces, Bai Jing finally felt relieved.
Although the worry in my heart has gradually subsided, the worried look on my face is still there.
Xiao Jue sighed in disdain and jokingly said, "Bai Jing, what's with that expression on your face? Why are you frowning so hard after seeing the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince come out safely?"
"..."
Bai Jing felt really aggrieved after hearing this, and thought to himself: My Lord, you really scared me.
I have been waiting outside the palace for so long, like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles in a panic, but unable to do anything.
He was worried that something might happen to the Crown Prince's wife while he was with the Crown Prince.
On the other hand, she was worried that the Crown Prince would be punished for offending the Prince in a fit of rage.
You have to know that this is the imperial palace. Even if Jingyuan Marquis's contribution of sacrificing his life to defend his country is great, his position in the emperor's heart cannot compare to that of the one in the East Palace.
Xiao Jue didn't care and slowly got into the carriage with Lin Acai.
Along the way, Xiao Jue held Lin Acai tightly in his arms.
It was as if she was afraid that if he wasn't paying attention, the woman would disappear from his sight.
Lin Acai did not struggle and just let him hold her quietly all the way.
Because she knew that the man in front of her urgently needed her to give him some sense of security.
After returning to the courtyard, Xiao Jue did not follow Lin Acai into the inner room, but went up the small building and called Bai Jing to come to the next yard.
Bai Jing understood.
The prince is going to take action in advance.
This night.
The lights in the prince's study were on brightly. He did not send Bai Jing out until dawn. He then lay down on the desk and took a nap in a daze.
……
Just two hours later, the news that yet another Grand Councilor had fallen spread like wildfire in front of the Emperor's throne room.
All the officials knelt down in a hurry, and everyone felt in danger.
Everyone knows that this minister was the favorite student of the Grand Tutor when the current emperor was the crown prince.
In the past, there were countless court officials who fawned on him. If they were to be investigated one by one, I am afraid that few of the ministers kneeling on the ground would be able to escape.
