The mutual test between smart people is always silent, and the knife passes without trace. Xu Jingsheng already knew that Lin Yingxue might be even more unfathomable than he imagined.

"Suddenly I remembered that there were still some things in the inn waiting for me to go back to deal with, so I will say goodbye first." Xu Jingsheng stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Yingxue also stood up quickly, "Young Master Xu, walk slowly." As she said that, she wanted to take a step, as if she was planning to send Xu Jingsheng off, but she accidentally stepped on her skirt, and then she heard a delicate cry, and a warm and soft body rushed straight towards the direction where Xu Jingsheng was.

"Miss Fifth, be careful!" In this case, any normal person's first reaction will naturally reach out to support the person in front of him. Xu Jingsheng was no exception. At the moment when Lin Yingxue fell, he quickly stretched out his hands and steadily supported Lin Yingxue's body.

"Thank you Mr. Xu." Lin Yingxue said, and unconsciously reached out and held Xu Jingsheng's arm.

"Well..." With a muffled groan, Xu Jingsheng's expression almost immediately turned pale, but when Lin Yingxue looked up at him, he forced a smile, "Miss Fifth, don't have to send him off." After that, he retracted his trembling left hand back into his sleeve and quickly walked out of the door.

Lin Yingxue looked at Xu Jingsheng's back as he quickly left, but his eyes gradually became colder, "Is it that location?" The assassin who visited Mo Yunxuan two days ago was scratched by Leng Yue's sword. Lin Yingxue asked at this moment naturally the scratched location.

"Yes." Leng Yue nodded affirmatively.

Thinking of Xu Jingsheng's change in expression just now, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but smile coldly - after the temptation just now, she was almost certain that Xu Jingsheng had an injury on his left arm. Even if the injury was just a coincidence, the wound could never be coincidental like the place where Leng Yue once stabbed the assassin.

So this only shows that the one who visited Lin’s family two days ago was Mr. Xu.

Since Da Wangyu escaped, the emperor's attitude towards Murong Jun has become increasingly cold. His third prince, who was so busy that he was not touching the ground and was missing every few days, is now drinking tea and reading books in the mansion. This gap may seem a bit desolate in the eyes of outsiders, but Murong Jun himself enjoys it very much.

"Sit down and try the Longjing that the people below offer." Murong Jun greeted Lin Yingxue and sat down opposite him. The servant who was originally standing in the room was very aware of the times and retreated, leaving only the two of them to talk alone in the room.

Lin Yingxue was in her heart and didn't feel like tasting tea. She just took a brief taste and put down the teacup in her hand.

"I think the Xiang Kingdom came to the imperial city this time not just as simple as wanting to marry. The Third Prince would rather send people to focus on the people in Xiang Kingdom." Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun always go straight to the point and don't say much nonsense.

Murong Jun heard Lin Yingxue's words and looked at Lin Yingxue for a long time before saying, "Miss Fifth, every time he asked me, there is nothing else but business?"

Lin Ying waited for a long time, but she didn't expect that Murong Jun would say this in the end. She glanced at Murong Jun helplessly, and when she was about to answer, a servant hurriedly ran in outside.

After the servant gave the salute, he walked straight to Murong Jun and said something to Murong Jun. After hearing this, Murong Jun's expression changed slightly. Before the servant could retreat, he had already spoken to Lin Yingxue: "The State of Xiang has officially made a request for marriage to his father."

Xiangguo accelerated the action, must be because of her unsuccessful "design" last night! The marriage between the two countries is a major event. Once the matter is confirmed openly, there is no possibility of easy change. Once the emperor announces this news to the public, Murong Yue's chance of turning the tables will be even more slim!

Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun also frowned. The two of them were covered with sorrow. The servants below were so scared that they dared not speak out, and they were neither staying nor staying, so they had to stand aside with stiff body.

After a long silence in the room, Leng Yue suddenly came with someone again.

"Miss Fifth!" The man dressed as a eunuch, obviously from the palace. When he saw Lin Yingxue, he was as if he had seen his relatives. He rushed forward, "Miss Fifth, the Fourth Princess, please enter the palace quickly. The princess has something important to ask you to discuss with you!"

So fast! It was her expectation that Murong Yue sent someone to find her, but she didn't expect that the news would be heard in the palace, so Murong Yue hurriedly sent someone to find her. Therefore, Murong Yue must be in a state of anxiety now.

"Let's go, I'll go into the palace with you now!" Lin Yingxue said nothing, and immediately stood up with eyebrows.

She was about to go out with the eunuch, but turned around and saw Murong Jun standing up with her. She moved her heart and raised her head and looked at Murong Jun. Neither of them had said much, but there was an invisible tacit understanding between them.

When Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun arrived in the palace, Murong Yue was in a hurry in her palace. When she saw Lin Yingxue and the others came over, she rushed to Lin Yingxue before she could even retreat. She said in a voice that was so excited that they both changed their tone: "Yingxue, Xiangguo has officially made a request for marriage. Now the envoy is discussing specific matters with his father in the imperial study room. After the envoy comes out, the father will probably issue an order!"

"Yingxue, please find a way to help me. I don't want to marry into Xiang State, and I don't like that prince of Xiang State at all. Yingxue, please help me, help me!"

Although some things can stimulate a person to grow up quickly, Murong Yue is not old after all, and she has been spoiled since childhood, so she is actually a child in her bones. After encountering something that cannot be solved by herself, this child will pop out of Murong Yue's body.

Just like at the moment, Murong Yue is just a child who is eager to seek help.

"I..." Lin Yingxue was actually uneasy when she entered the palace this time, because the time she gave her was too short, and she could not expose to the emperor and even the people in such a short time what kind of person the prince of Xiang was.

Furthermore, when the emperor decided to marry Murong Yue with Xiangguo, Murong Yue's status had actually changed completely in the emperor's heart. Now the emperor is probably not thinking about how to love his daughter, but how to do what to do to make this daughter play her greatest value.

People's hearts are so cold, weak and fickle, and even more so for royal people.

"Yue'er, calm down." Murong Jun frowned and stepped forward and pulled Murong Yue's hand that grabbed Lin Yingxue's wrist tightly. "The key to success in marriage is not Yingxue, nor is it you and me, but the father. If the father made up his mind to send you out to marry Xiangguo, then even if Yin Ze is a full-blown person, the father will marry you without hesitation. If the father is unwilling to marry you to Xiangguo, then even if he issued a clear order, the father can find other excuses to abandon you."

The fate of all living beings in Rong Country can be said to be dependent on the hands of the emperor, and this is true for the people, and Murong Yue is even more so as the daughter of the royal family.

As if all hope was pulled away in an instant, as soon as Murong Jun finished speaking, Murong Yue fell to the chair beside her with a depressed expression.

"Ha, hehe..." Murong Yue looked sad. Her eyes stared at the void with nonchalant eyes, and her laughter seemed a little weird. "Since the assassination happened, my father had lost trust in me. He favored me for many years because I had never done anything that could harm his interests..."

Although Murong Yue is the same now, the emperor has completely changed his mind in Murong Yue.

The room began to fall into a long silence. Since Murong Jun was a prince who had become a young man, it was not appropriate to stay in Murong Yue's palace for a long time, Lin Yingxue had to tell Honglian that after asking Honglian to take good care of Murong Yue, she left with Murong Jun with worry.

Who would have thought that as soon as the two of them reached the palace gate, Honglian chased after them out of breath, "Third Princess, the fifth lady, it's not good!" Honglian ran to the two of them, and said quickly: "The princess has just gone to find the emperor. I didn't say anything about the princess to be, but I just kept rushing out. Seeing the princess's appearance, I might annoy the emperor!"

After listening to Honglian's words, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun looked at each other, and without saying a word, they walked quickly towards the Imperial Study Room.

"...I've reversed, I've really been back!"

As soon as they walked to the door of the Imperial Study room, Lin Yingxue and others who rushed over hurriedly heard the emperor's angry voice coming from the Imperial Study room.

Murong Jun's expression changed, and he walked up to ask the eunuch guarding the door, "What happened inside?"

"I've seen the Third Prince!" The eunuch was in a state of great anxiety. Seeing Murong Jun coming, he hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Third Prince, the Emperor and the Fourth Princess are arguing in there. You can go in and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Jun went forward and pushed open the door of the Imperial Study Room before he even made an announcement.

The sudden sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the people in the room. The emperor turned his head and saw Murong Jun trespassing, his already gloomy face suddenly became even more ugly. "Bold and rebellious! You are now more rampant than the other. First, my good daughter came to threaten me, and now my good son came to trespass on my imperial study. You are so brave!"

After saying that, the emperor grabbed the teacup at his hand and threw it hard towards the direction where Murong Jun was. Murong Jun moved slightly and was about to avoid it reflexively, but reason made him stop his movements and let the teacup hit his forehead.

With a "bang", as the teacup fell to the ground and turned into fragments, blood slowly dripped along Murong Jun's cheeks onto his moon-white front. The bright red color spread on the white clothes, making it a little dazzling.
