Lin Xixue was half-leaning on the fence of the pavilion, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said indifferently: "I just killed the Governor Yun Chuiwei."
Yanyou shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think, Miss Lin. Governor Shi has served the Holy Lord for many years. He is loyal and highly valued. I'm afraid that the Holy Lord will inevitably ask for help if he learns about this matter." Yan was furious."
"Oh? Didn't Young Master Yan tell me to be careful before, saying that he is a villain? Why would such a villain be respected by the Holy One?" Lin Xixue deliberately pointed out the mistakes in Yan You's words, wanting to see what his reaction was. .
But after all, Yanyou was quite deep in the city. Hearing such a question, he didn't make any other reaction, just smiled.
"Haha, Miss Lin doesn't know anything about the government or the public. The so-called emperor's art is about checks and balances. Although she is a villain, as long as she is loyal to the imperial power, she may not be useless."
He opened two teacups, filled two cups with clear tea and said, "Young lady, do you know what it means to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"
"I know it, but I just heard Young Master Yan's words, and it seemed that he had other intentions?" Lin Xixue responded while using her consciousness to lock onto the Confucian disciple who had delivered the news to Yan You.
"Being loyal to the king means being loyal to the Holy One, and being patriotic means loving the people of the world. When I say this, does the girl understand?"
Lin Xixue suddenly felt a little dazed. Thinking of this dog emperor's behavior of letting others ignore his talent and learning, and only focusing on loyalty, he instantly understood the meaning of Yanyou's words.
The so-called patriotic and virtuous ministers, if the emperor is dedicated to serving the country, and both sides have the same position, they will work together; but if the emperor does not care about the life and death of the people, then the patriotic and virtuous ministers are not on the opposite side of the emperor.
Lin Xixue asked herself, even though she was in a never-ending situation with this banquet, these words really spoke to her heart.
"Young Master Yan's implication is already clear to me, but I don't know why he brought up this argument of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."
Yanyou narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "I want to ask, is Miss Lin a patriotic person or a loyal person to the emperor?"
Lin Xixue's thoughts couldn't help but froze when she heard such a question. She just felt that the question of banquet and travel could never be unreasonable.
What exactly was he trying to say? Could it be that he was complicit in King Cheng's rebellion for the sake of the people of the world?
However, it was impossible for Lin Xixue to believe his nonsense. There was an inextricable and inexplicable relationship between Yanyou and Empress Zhusheng.
Lin Xixue would never believe it under any circumstances if someone said that people who converted to this kind of monster would do it for the people of the world.
She still firmly believed in her judgment that Yanyou and King Cheng were planning to rebel in order to gain the will of the people of Yunzhou.
However, why did Yanyou suddenly tell him these things? Is it possible that he is still thinking about winning over him now?
"Master Yan is joking, I am not from Yunzhou. Even if I am loyal to the emperor, I am not loyal to the emperor of Yunzhou. Even if I am patriotic, my love is not to the people of Yunzhou."
"Hahahaha," Yanyou smiled casually, "I just asked casually, but Miss Lin's answer was too serious."
"However, the fact that Miss Lin killed the imperial official is indeed not a trivial matter. Did anyone else see the girl when she did it?"
"Several guards came forward to protect me, but I also killed them. Now this matter is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it."
"That's good. In this way, even if the Holy One pursues his investigation." Before Yan You could finish his words, a Confucian disciple hurriedly ran forward and presented him with an imperial edict framed in white silk.
Lin Xixue glanced at the white silk and guessed that it should be the imperial edict sent by Emperor Dog and Shi Xueqian after they had arranged everything. She quietly continued to follow the disciple who delivered the news for the banquet with her spiritual consciousness.
Yan You drove away the disciples who brought the message, then unfolded the silk, read it carefully, and said: "The Holy One has already known the news of Governor Shi's death. Now that the Yunchui Tiger Talisman is missing, the Holy One urgently ordered all the ministers to enter the palace. "
"Miss Lin, with this Yunchui Tiger Talisman, you can command the entire Yunchui Guard army, and you can't hide it secretly!" Yanyou's tone became serious.
Lin Xixue shook her head and said: "I don't know about the hanging tiger talisman, and I have never been involved in it. It's just that Shi Xueqian offended me many times, and I took care of him."
"Does Miss Lin really mean what she said?"
"I have said before that I am not from Yunzhou, so it is naturally impossible for me to know all the inside stories of Yun Chuiwei, let alone the Yun Chui Tiger Talisman." Lin Xixue spoke with a calm demeanor, without any hint of nervousness.
Yanyou tapped the stone table in the pavilion with his index finger, as if he was thinking carefully about the authenticity of Lin Xixue's words. After a moment, he said: "Forget it, Miss Lin should follow me into the palace to meet the saint."
Lin Xixue couldn't help but feel happy, thinking to herself, aren't you asking me to escort you to the palace during your banquet?
However, in order to be more realistic, she still declined: "Mr. Yan, I have said before that I came to Jingyun City to find someone. I really don't want to have anything to do with the current emperor of Yunzhou, so I'd better give up on the matter of meeting the emperor. .”
"Miss Lin, the matter of the Cloud-Crossing Tiger Talisman is indeed of great importance. Regardless of whether the girl took this thing away, we still go to the palace to assist the Holy Emperor in investigating it."
"If the girl is unwilling to enter the palace to cooperate with the investigation, even if the girl has the Jade Slip of Lixin given by Master Lu as a token, Yan may be offended today."
Lin Xixue chuckled inwardly, she couldn't wait to push herself out to take the blame.
If I hadn't taken one step ahead of him and investigated the whole matter in advance, I'm afraid I would have accepted this big pot in a daze today.
Seeing that Lin Xixue didn't respond, Yanyou continued to comfort him: "Miss Lin, as the saying goes, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. If it is true that this tiger talisman was not taken by the girl, Yanyou will keep you safe."
"Forget it, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of slanted shadows when you are upright. I really don't know what this thing is. It doesn't hurt to go with you."
"In that case, without further delay, we will enter the palace immediately and tell the royal family the whole story." Yanyou stood up immediately, looking impatient.
"It's just a matter of entering the palace to meet the saint. I saw Mr. Yan looked anxious. Could it be that he was afraid that I would abscond?" Lin Xixue's words seemed to be teasing, but in fact, she pointed out the suspicious behavior of the banquet quite straightforwardly. at.
She did this for no other reason than to test again how Yanyou would respond to this suspicious behavior.
After all, different ways of responding can often reveal a person's confidence in behavior.
Yanyou's response was quite conservative. He chuckled and said, "Miss Lin misunderstood. It's just that the Holy Emperor is in a hurry. As a minister, how can I not be in a hurry."
"It's like this. Mr. Yan can worry about the emperor's urgent needs, but I don't know, Mr. Yan, are you a loyal person or a patriotic person?" Lin Xixue continued to press.
This time, Yanyou's face finally froze, but he returned to normal in an instant. He waved his hand and said, "We have important matters at hand. Let's talk about such idle talk another day."
Lin Xixue showed a harmless smile and said: "That's fine, let's listen to Mr. Yan's arrangements first and enter the palace to meet the saint."
