Don’t Show the Son

Lin Xiu didn't know who was plotting against him, the Zhang family was more likely.

After all, he had just eliminated Zhang Xin, and it was normal for the Zhang family to breathe a sigh of relief.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as he doesn't meet Lingjun, Lingyin, and Ning'er Wan'er, he won't miss anyone, and their opponents have already been determined, so Lin Xiu didn't expose the official's trick just now.

The problem now is Princess Minghe.

This time, Lin Xiu couldn't help her either.

When returning from the Department of Different Magic, Princess Minghe was even more silent, and sent her to the gate of Ruidong Palace. Princess Minghe walked in without saying a word. Lin Xiu paused, and finally said: "Wait a minute."

Princess Minghe turned her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Lin Xiu stretched out his hand, with two Yuanjing in his palm, he sighed lightly, and said, "These are the last two..."

He gave her the only five Yuanjing, and if he didn't break through, he really had nothing to do.

Princess Minghe looked at the two crystals, but didn't reach out to pick them up. She thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't waste such precious things anymore."

She has given up.

Lin Xiu picked up her hand, stuffed two Yuanjing to her, and said, "Take it, I won't need it for a while anyway, no matter how bad your luck is, there will be a head, maybe all your bad luck recently If they are used up, what if these two can break through?"

Princess Minghe looked into Lin Xiu's eyes, and a little courage appeared in her heart again.

She nodded vigorously, and strode into Ruidong Palace.

Lin Xiu also followed her in, regardless of whether she could succeed or not, he had to see the result.

Princess Minghe prepared for a long time before mustering up the courage to hold a Yuanjing in her hand and crush it vigorously.

Lin Xiu also looked at her nervously.

Although friendship cannot be measured in silver, but it is five hundred thousand taels of silver, five small goals, how can he not feel distressed?

After a short while, Lin Xiu suddenly noticed that the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly.

There was joy on his face, which was a sign of a broken situation!

Princess Minghe's eyes also opened suddenly, her expression swept away the loneliness and decadence just now, she was full of joy and excitement, under the excitement, she even jumped onto Lin Xiu's body, with her legs wrapped around his waist, hugging his body Shaking back and forth, he said happily: "I've reached the bottom, I've finally reached the top..."

There was a cry in her voice, it was really difficult along the way.

Lin Xiu stood where she was and let her go crazy.

The grievance in her heart has been held back for so long, so it's good to let her vent.

After a long time, Princess Minghe got off Lin Xiu, wiped away her tears, and said, "I'm sorry, I was so happy just now..."

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you break through."

Princess Minghe was able to break through, and he was also happy for her.

Princess Minghe returned the last Yuanjing to Lin Xiu and said, "I owe you 400,000 taels of silver, and I will pay you back slowly."

Lin Xiudao: "Don't worry, I don't need that little money."

Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu, thinking of his support and encouragement to her these days, exchanging lottery with her, and returning Yuanjing to her, warmth surged in her heart again.

She looked at Lin Xiu and said regretfully, "Why aren't you a girl..."

From childhood to adulthood, she didn't have any friends around her. Zhao Lingyin was barely a half. Lin Xiu was the first person who made her feel friendship. It's a pity that he is not a woman. If he was a woman, she would be able to do more with him. something more intimate...

She is very envious of those peers who have close friends in boudoirs.

Lin Xiu gave her a white look, and said: "You should stabilize your realm first, and prepare for tomorrow's competition. It is not so easy to beat your opponent..."

He felt sorry for his 400,000 taels of silver and left Ruidong Palace.

Princess Minghe's heart was bright, and she felt that everything was getting better. Humming a cheerful tune, she slowly adapted to the changes brought about by the new realm.

After practicing for a long time and calming down, the joy in her heart was diluted by one incident.

The breakthrough was a breakthrough, but she still owed Lin Xiu four hundred thousand taels of silver.

Her annual allowance is one thousand taels. If she saves all of it, she can save ten thousand taels to four hundred thousand taels in ten years, and it will be paid off in four hundred years...

"..."

At a young age, she was burdened with a huge debt that needed to be repaid for four hundred years, and she suddenly became less happy.

Moreover, she feels very uncomfortable now.

Royal father originally wanted Lin Xiu to be her son-in-law.

But she refused.

At that time, as long as she said a word, they are husband and wife now. Lin Xiu's person is hers, the money is hers, and Yuanjing is also hers. She will not owe him so much money, because it belongs to their family.

Now, even if she regrets it, it's too late.

However, she can ask her father to pay back the money for her.

In the Imperial Garden, Emperor Xia was admiring the flowers with Concubine Shu. Zhu Jin walked over slowly and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Minghe went to the Imperial Study just now and did not see Your Majesty. She is now outside the Imperial Garden."

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Let her come over."

After a while, Princess Minghe walked in from the outside, saluted first, and then said: "Greetings to the emperor, and concubine Shu."

Emperor Xia said to her: "I have already asked Zhu Jin to send people to search for the fifth-order Yuanjing in various countries. If I can buy it, I will let them send it to you immediately."

Princess Minghe said: "Father, don't let them look for it, I have already broken through the ground level."

Emperor Xia showed joy on his face, and asked, "When and how did you break through?"

Princess Minghe said: "Just now, Lin Xiu lent me the Yuanjing he prepared for himself."

She looked at Emperor Xia and asked, "Father, can you give him the silver and treat it as if Father bought it from him."

Emperor Xia thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay, Zhu Jin, give him one hundred thousand taels."

Princess Minghe reminded: "It's 400,000 taels..."

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "What, he dares to take advantage of the fire and sell you 400,000 taels of yuan crystal?"

Princess Minghe hurriedly said: "Not one, but four."

Emperor Xia looked at her and asked, "You used four primordial crystals?"

Princess Minghe nodded embarrassingly.

At the current price of Yuanjing, the value of four Yuanjing is between 500,000 taels and 600,000 taels. That is to say, Lin Xiu is still conscientious towards Minghe, no, he is very conscientious, and he must still be at a loss. got silver.

But let him take out 400,000 taels at once, and the pressure on the national treasury is also great. During this period, in order to cultivate a few geniuses, the imperial court spent too much.

Emperor Xia coughed lightly, and said: "The national treasury has been tight for the past few months, and he is not short of money. There is no rush for the money. I will pay it back slowly in the future."

Father had already said that, and Princess Minghe couldn't say anything more. She thought of another matter and said, "By the way, father, when I drew lots just now, the opponent I drew was Li Lang."

Li Lang is the name of the king of Jiangning County.

"What?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xia frowned.

The King of Jiangning County is also a genius of the royal family. This is only the second round of the competition. Doesn't it mean that he and Ming He will definitely be eliminated.

This is definitely not what he wants to see.

Whether he is the emperor or a member of the Li family, he doesn't want to see Da Xia's genius infighting on Xiao Bi.

Zhu Jin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to separate the Jiangning County King and Princess?"

Emperor Xia said without hesitation, "No."

Xiaobi is not Daxia's family affair, it involves more than a dozen countries, and has a set of rules that must be strictly followed. Once this precedent is set, subsequent competitions will completely lose credibility.

It will also leave handles for other countries.

In today's mainland, although there is no major war, there are more undercurrents than before.

Once this kind of handle is left behind, I am afraid that several other dynasties will use the unfairness of this competition as an excuse to attack Daxia and deprive them of the opportunity to hold the big and small competitions. very passive.

Emperor Xia looked at Minghe and said: "Tomorrow you will do your best, and it's better to compete normally."

Princess Minghe said: "I know, I have to go back to practice first."

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Go."

After Princess Minghe left, he had no intention of admiring the flowers.

Before Xiaobi, he picked out the seeds of the ground level separately, just to avoid letting them meet in advance.

But this cannot avoid all unexpected situations, such as someone breaking through on the spot.

What's more coincidental is that the opponent she drew was also an earth rank.

Yesterday, one of Daxia's ranks was eliminated, and tomorrow, at least one more will be eliminated. This made Emperor Xia feel a little vigilant, and said to Zhu Jin: "Go and check the Department of Different Arts, I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter." Weird..."

After Zhu Jin took the order, he left slowly.

It was not until an hour later that he came to the Imperial Study Room and said to Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, this old slave has already found out. What happened to Her Royal Highness should be just a coincidence, but there is one thing that is not..."

Emperor Xia asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Jindao: "The opponent Lin Xiu drew for the second time was the King of Changping County. Someone bribed an official from the Department of Magic. That official has the ability to transfer space. When Lin Xiu drew lots, he secretly replaced all the numbers. The lottery numbers in the box are all the same, no matter which lottery he draws, it corresponds to the Prince of Changping."

Emperor Xia couldn't figure it out, and said, "Why did he have to draw Li Xuan? Could it be that he eliminated Zhang Xin, and the Zhang family wanted to retaliate against him, and borrowed Li Xuan's hand to eliminate him in the next round..."

Zhu Jindao: "The servant has already interrogated the official of the Department of Abnormal Arts, and it is not the Zhang family who secretly instigated him."

Emperor Xia asked: "If it's not the Zhang family, who else could it be?"

Zhu Jindao: "It is the king of Changping County."

Emperor Xia was puzzled: "Why is he targeting Lin Xiu so much? They have a grudge?"

Zhu Jin said leisurely: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that among the people who went to the Zhao Mansion to propose marriage, the Changping County King ran the most diligently. Later, Lin Xiu was assassinated, and His Majesty even suspected him..."

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia could understand the motives of Prince Changping.

The hatred of taking one's wife is irreconcilable.

It's just that he dared to tamper with Xiaobi's lottery, which is really daring.

But he couldn't deal with Li Xuan because of this.

Not only is he a genius of the younger generation of the royal family, his grandfather is also one of the three heavenly ranks of the royal family, and even he has to take into account the feelings of that uncle.

Who is Zhao Lingjun? Lin Xiu married her, and the king didn't know how many people saw him as disliked.

Not just the capital of Great Xia.

If Lin Xiu successfully gets the spot in the Grand Competition, that will be the beginning of his nightmare.

Dayou, Daluo, Dalu, Daying..., there is no shortage of suitors for her.

Emperor Xia shook his head and said: "Thinking about it this way, it's not all a bad thing for him to be eliminated..."
