Chapter 291: The King's Banquet

There is a rare warm sunny day in autumn. When people walk on the road, they feel indescribable comfort. Even Lin Yingxin, who was originally reluctant to come out, showed an expression of enjoyment at this time.

Several people walked slowly towards the flower house. On the way, they passed by the small lake in the backyard. Seeing the koi inside swimming happily, Lin Yingxue and Liu, who were walking side by side, couldn't help but slow down and start watching.

Seeing this, a smart maid quickly brought the fish food. Lin Yingxue took it and walked to the lake to start feeding.

Lin Yingsheng, who was originally following Lin Yingxin, couldn't help but say excitedly when he saw this: "I want to feed him too, and I want to feed him too!"

Lin Yingxue was about to turn her head and hand the fish food in her hand to Lin Yingsheng, but before she could stretch out her hand, a powerful force suddenly hit her waist. Lin Yingxue's body was unstable and fell straight into the lake.

With a 'plop', the huge splash of water that Lin Yingxue splashed after falling into the water scared everyone. Finally, Liu reacted first and said in a panic: "Why are you still standing there? Yingxue fell into the water, why don't you go down to save people!"

Among the maids and mothers who were following Lin Yingxin, there were a few who were good at it. He heard this and immediately jumped into the lake.

So Lin Yingxue was rescued soon, but Lin Yingxue was originally not watery, and the water was cool in autumn. After all this trouble, there was almost no trace of blood on Lin Yingxue's little face.

"Yingxue, are you okay?" Liu hurriedly walked up to check Lin Yingxue's situation.

Lin Yingxue didn't say anything, just stared coldly at the 'culprit' standing not far away.

Seeing Lin Yingxue's eyes coming, Lin Yingsheng, who was originally cold-looking, threw himself on Lin Yingxin with a "wow" and started crying.

Lin Yingxin originally thought of blaming Lin Yingsheng for a few words, but seeing Lin Yingsheng crying so sadly, her heart softened, "Good boy, don't cry, sister knows you didn't mean it... Be good, stop crying..."

If someone else had done such a thing, Lin Yingxue would have sent him off without Lin Yingxue's words, but the one who attacked her was a child who was less than ten years old.

No one believes that a child will do such a thing on purpose, and naturally no one will care about it.

"I won't go to the flower room, hurry up and help Yingxue go back to clean up, and then ask the kitchen to prepare ginger soup." Among so many people at present, Liu is probably the only one who cares about Lin Yingxue the most.

Lin Yingxue stood up tremblingly with the help of her maid. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Lin Yingsheng. She saw Lin Yingsheng, who was originally covering her face and crying, moved away her little hand and showed a proud smile to Lin Yingxue.

——Malicious intention never depends on age.

"Cough cough..." Although the time for falling into the water was short, Lin Yingxue still caught a cold after walking back in wet clothes along the way.

"Come on, drink this bowl of ginger soup. I'll stay in Prince Jing's Mansion tonight and go back when it's better tomorrow." Lin Yingxin and Lin Yingling didn't come, and they didn't know where they went. Only Liu, who had always cared about Lin Yingxue, brought the ginger soup personally.

"Thank you, mother." Lin Yingxue took the ginger soup and poured it into her stomach. When the ginger soup bottomed out, Lin Yingxue only felt her eyes astringent, as if the ginger soup she had just drunk turned into water and was about to overflow from her eyes.

"Silly child, why are you doing so polite to your mother?" Liu thoughtfully wiped the soup stains on Lin Yingxue's mouth.

Lin Yingxue rushed into Liu's arms like a child - some people are like this, even if the enemy's knife is placed on her neck, she is not necessarily afraid, but when someone cares about her when she is wronged, she will become fragile.

"Silly kid, what's wrong..." Liu said, but his expression was extremely doting.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Lin Yingxue shook her head, and before the tears fell, she forced her back.

But just as the mother and daughter were enjoying this rare warmth, Hua Rong, the big maid beside Lin Yingxin, frowned and walked in.

"Fifth Miss, Madam." Hua Rongfu was blessed with a serious expression, as if there was something important to say.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yingxue sat down again, no trace of weakness could be seen on her face.

"Go back to the fifth lady, madam, the emperor is awake." As soon as Hua Rong finished speaking, the whole room became silent.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you frowning?" After a moment of shock, Lin Yingxue asked calmly.

"Yes, it is naturally a great joy for the Emperor to wake up. It was just that the palace had just sent an order to urgently summon all the princes and Prince Jing into the palace... The princess said that looking at this posture, I am afraid it is..."

I'm afraid the emperor is not good enough, so I'm busy explaining the funeral?

Lin Yingxue's face also began to become heavier. After a while, she said again: "Okay, go and tell my elder sister that I understand. Also, once something new is heard in the palace, let me tell you as soon as possible."

"Yes." Hua Rong responded and hurriedly stepped back and replied.

"Yingxue..." Liu looked at Lin Yingxue's worried look and held Lin Yingxue's hand with concern.

The entire afternoon of the afternoon, the entire Jing Palace seemed to be shrouded in a tense atmosphere. It was not until dark that King Jing returned to the house, and Murong Jun was also the one who came back with King Jing.

"Why are you here too?" King Jing went to find Lin Yingxin as soon as he returned to his mansion. If Murong Jun didn't come, Lin Yingxue would naturally have to go there, but now that Murong Jun has come, she doesn't have to go to Lin Yingxin to find out the news.

"I heard that you accidentally fell into the water, so how could you feel at ease?" Murong Jun scraped Lin Yingxue's nose, and his ink-colored eyes were as gentle as if water was about to overflow.

Lin Yingxue was very happy when she heard Murong Jun’s words, but somehow she remembered the fact that Murong Jun and Lin Yingxiang were living in the same room today, and a faint ache appeared in her heart again.

"I'm not seriously injured, but what's going on with the emperor?" Lin Yingxue suppressed the bitterness in her heart and asked about the serious matter.

When talking about this, Murong Jun's expression became solemn, "The situation of my father is not very good. Today, my father summoned me and my fifth brother and others into the palace, and appointed me as King Qi, the fifth brother as King Rui, and the Uncle Wang as Regent, and allowed Uncle Wang to stay in the imperial city to assist the future new emperor in the management of the government."

"This... the emperor arranged it so hasty, but..." I couldn't do it anymore? Lin Yingxue didn't ask in the last sentence, but Murong Jun already understood what Lin Yingxue meant.

Murong Jun nodded and said with a heavy expression: "The father has not been long. Now it can be said that he is arranging his funeral after all. And the father's meaning is to take Meng Yi down in one fell swoop when holding the king-elected banquet in a few days!"

Sure enough, Lin Yingxue began to get nervous for some reason, "Meng Yi is not an easy person to deal with. Today, the emperor summoned you into the palace. I'm afraid he would not be prepared for him."

"This is also impossible." Murong Jun frowned, "Now Meng Yi's power has taken shape. If he doesn't take action, his father will go west in the future, and it will be even more difficult for us to move Meng Yi."

"Then you have to be careful about everything that day." Lin Yingxue grabbed Murong Jun's clothes, her eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements." Murong Jun helped Lin Yingxue tuck the corner of the quilt, grabbed Lin Yingxue's hand and put it back into the quilt. "I'm afraid I'll be a little busy these days and can't come to see you. You have to take good care of yourself. I don't want to hear news that you are sick or injured again."

"Yes, the Third Prince." Looking at Murong Jun who was increasingly nagging, Lin Yingxue responded helplessly.

"Well, then you have a good rest, I'll leave first." Murong Jun kissed Lin Yingxue gently on the forehead, then got up and left the house.

Looking at the room that became quiet in an instant, Lin Yingxue's eyes gradually became deeper.

Murong Jun did not show up again in the following few days until the day of the King's Banquet.

This banquet for the title of kings is of great importance. The ministers who were ranked in the court were all present at the banquet, and the female relatives who were titled were also present.

Early in the morning, Miaoqin got up to help her clean up. Looking at the mirror who seemed to have become a different person, Lin Yingxue felt an unspeakable nervousness in her heart.

"Miss, have a cup of tea and relax." Miaoqin saw that Lin Yingxue had been sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, so she couldn't help but bring the tea over.

Lin Yingxue reached out to receive the tea handed over by Miaoqin, but she didn't expect that her palm was particularly slippery. As soon as she took over, the green porcelain cup fell to the ground with a "splash" and turned into a pile of fragments.

"Miss, are you okay? Is it hot?" Miaoqin was startled and hurried to check Lin Yingxue's condition.

Lin Yingxue shook her head, but looking at the fragments all over the ground, she felt a vague premonition in her heart.

Hope everything goes well.

It was almost noon after entering the palace. Because he remembered Murong Jun’s instructions, Lin Yingxue entered the palace today and specially brought Leng Yue with him. If something unexpected happened in this way, Leng Yue would be able to protect her.

"I don't know what the result will be." Lin Yingxue looked around and didn't see Murong Jun's figure, but Fang Mengru saw her and walked towards her.

Although Lin Yingxue was unsure, seeing Fang Mengru looking worried, she still comforted her carefully: "Don't worry, it must be fine."

"I..." Fang Mengru hesitated for a moment. After seeing no one noticed them, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, what I'm worried about is not this... What I think is, if I really start to fight, will Brother Meng definitely die?"

No matter what Meng Yi did, Fang Mengru did not owe any of them, so Fang Mengru would feel a little sorry for Meng Yi when she watched Meng Yi die.

"...We have no choice but to decide this." Lin Yingxue replied after thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, the last light in Fang Mengru's eyes dimmed, "Is there really no hope? Brother Meng just now specially asked me and asked me if I would be sad if he died..."

"What? You said Meng Yi had just found you alone?" Fang Mengru was interrupted by Lin Yingxue in a hurry before she finished speaking. However, before Lin Yingxue could ask anything, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The banquet began.
