You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 213: Xiao Yan, I don’t believe you. I don’t believe a single word you say.

The deep and pleasant voice reached her ears like a bolt from the blue, tearing Lin Zhaoyue's sanity apart and making her ears buzz.

Lin Zhaoyue's hand holding the wooden stick trembled slightly, and the sharp stick almost pierced Xiao Yan's throat.

"You bullshit!"

She angrily said:

"My elder brother is loyal to His Majesty and would never have the intention of rebellion!"

Xiao Yun looked at her quietly, with a ripple in his dark eyes.

"Lin Zhaoyue, I also hope that all this is fake."

Lin Zhaoyue's almond-shaped eyes shone, and she said:

"Where's the evidence? This crime of treason cannot be justified by your words. If you have evidence, why don't you present it to the emperor and ask him to order a suppression, but sneak to the border instead?"

Xiao Yan looked at her with such concentration and seriousness in his eyes:

"Then Miss Lin Er, why do you think I didn't present this to the Emperor?"

There was something, hazy and vague, separated by a layer of gauze, or as if separated by a layer of window paper that would break with a poke.

But that thin layer of window paper, after two lifetimes, had long since become an insurmountable mountain, an indestructible wall, standing between them. She couldn't get out, and he couldn't get in.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Xiao Yan endured the severe pain in his body, raised his hand, grabbed her hand holding the stick, and held her stubbornly in a childish way:

"Lin Zhaoyue, why do you think I did this?"

He was talking about me, not me.

Those black eyes were exceptionally bright, with a scorching temperature, so hot that it could melt people.

Lin Zhaoyue's heart trembled, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly became red.

She struggled to break free from his hand and said word by word:

"I don't believe you!"

"Xiao Yan, I don't believe you. I don't believe a single word you said."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back, just like the time they met again, without looking back once.

"master."

Feng Xin shouted and hurried to support Xiao Yan who had fainted.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was covered in cold sweat and had purple lips, he suddenly felt that what Shen Yanzhou said was right.

Based on the evidence they had collected, they could convict Lin Kaiji of treason and execute all nine generations of the Lin family.

He really didn't understand why his master would take such a big risk to come to the border...

……

Only when she could no longer see the two people did Lin Zhaoyue reach out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Master Ning Xi had no internal strength and did not know how to press or release acupoints, so she developed Luohui, a powerful paralyzing potion, and Tianhui.

Tianhui is a tonic for the mind and spirit, a stimulant that can trigger the transmission of energy to the motor nerves when acupoints are pressed, forcibly releasing the acupoints. However, it is also damaging to the body. When used for the first time, it can cause sensory disorders and uncontrollable limbs.

Lin Zhaoyue took a pill, walked unsteadily, found a small noodle shop, and ordered a bowl of noodles.

The noodle shop's lady boss looked at Lin Zhaoyue, who was barely able to walk, and looked at her with concern. She walked over while wiping her hands with a towel and said,

"Little girl, what's wrong with you? Do you want us to get a doctor for you?"

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:

"I'm fine, I just fainted from hunger."

boss:……

She was stunned for a few seconds and said:

"Okay, girl, hold on, don't faint yet."

As she spoke, the proprietress quickly flew over to make noodles, using the fastest speed in her life.

Just when Lin Zhaoyue was feeling a little dizzy, she felt a heat near her mouth. When she opened her eyes, she saw the proprietress holding a bowl of noodles and feeding her.

He kept muttering to himself: The noodles are ready for you, little girl, don’t faint from hunger in my noodle shop.

Lin Zhaoyue felt warm inside and was a little amused and helpless.

She poured a cup of tea and swallowed another pill.

Only then did he pick up the bowl of noodles and eat.

The noodles were just ordinary beef noodles, but Lin Zhaoyue thought they were exceptionally delicious. Although she was not very hungry, she ate them all.

After eating the bowl of noodles, she felt much more energetic. She paid the bill and rode her horse towards the military camp.

"Miss, you gave me too much. That bowl of noodles only costs ten cents..."

The proprietress took the two taels of silver and went out, but Lin Zhaoyue was nowhere to be seen.

When Lin Zhaoyue returned to the military camp, Lin Kaiji was looking for her.

Seeing her, he walked towards her.

"What's wrong? Your face is so pale?"

Lin Zhaoyue touched her face, shook her head and said:

"I just ran into a snake outside the camp and got scared. It's nothing serious, don't worry, big brother."

There were indeed many snakes and rats in Beizhou City. Lin Zhaoyue had been afraid of these legless animals since she was a child, so Lin Kaiji didn't think much about it.

He just waved a logistics soldier over and said:

"Put some snake repellent powder outside the camp too."

"Yes, General."

After the soldiers withdrew, Lin Kaiji took Lin Zhaoyue to the main tent. He looked at the tender little white hand in his palm, frowned slightly and said:

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Lin Zhaoyue pulled back her hand and said:

"That's what happens when you're scared."

What Xiao Yan said just now really scared her.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue pulling back her hand, Lin Kaiji's eyes moved slightly, then quickly returned to normal.

The two returned to the main tent, and Lin Kaiji heated a cup of goat milk for her.

Lin Zhaoyue drank the warm goat milk and gradually regained her senses. She suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Brother, why did our family move to the border two years ago?"

When Lin Kaiji heard Lin Zhaoyue's words, he was stunned for a moment and said:

"Didn't Dad tell you?"

She went to ask her father, but he always replied that these things had nothing to do with her, a little girl.

"Brother, just tell Zhao Zhao!"

Two years ago, he planned everything.

Seeing that Lin Zhaoyue was determined to know, Lin Kaiji's eyes moved slightly. He held the teacup in his hand and said slowly:

"Zhao Zhao, do you know that the queen passed away two years ago?"

Lin Zhaoyue nodded.

"It is said that he died of illness."

Lin Kaiji shook his head and said:

"No, it was because the queen initiated a coup, and during the coup, she was...shot to death by arrows."

The Queen initiated a palace coup?

Lin Zhaoyue seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, and her eyes were full of confusion.

This did not happen in the previous life. The queen in the previous life also died of illness.

"Father was originally escorting the Third Prince to the East Territory, but he was attacked on the way and was seriously injured and unconscious. When he woke up, he heard that the Third Prince had locked you up and tortured you to death. He went to the Golden Throne Hall to ask the Emperor for justice. The Emperor replied that the situation in the East Territory was urgent, and after the East Territory was resolved, the Third Prince would be confined to reflect on his mistakes for half a year. Father was so angry that he asked to come to the border on his own."

Lin Zhaoyue clearly caught a loophole in Lin Kaiji's statement.

How could the Emperor allow a Duke who commands an army of 100,000 to come to the border with his entire family?

Even if my father would not rebel and was loyal to me, the fact that he had the ability to do so would make him a potential threat to the emperor.

Even though my father and the current emperor are sworn brothers and close friends, Xiao Zhang is the ruler of a country, so he must first be an emperor before he can be his friend.

Just like Master Ning Xi said, some people have unshirkable responsibilities and missions on their shoulders. For these responsibilities and missions, they can sacrifice anything, including money, relatives, friends, lovers... and even more...
