Finest Servant

"What, what do you mean?" Lin Wanrong stammered, his heart was pounding, his face was flushed, and he felt that the whole person did not belong to him. Crazy, the old emperor is crazy!

"What do you think in your heart, that's what it means." The old emperor coughed lightly, his pale face flushed, and he said solemnly: "Gao Ping, take a portrait!"

Eunuch Gao, who was outside the door, hurriedly pushed the door and entered, holding a picture scroll in both hands, respectfully handing it to Lin Wanrong, and then hurriedly backed out. Lin Wanrong was holding the picture scroll in his hand, but he was full of doubts in his heart. The old man hadn't explained the matter clearly, why did he bring it up to the portrait again.

"Open it and take a look." The old emperor covered his mouth and nose, coughed hard, glanced at him slowly, and said.

"What's this?" Lin Wanrong asked cautiously, the old emperor was full of weirdness today, it's better to ask clearly before opening it.

"I told you to open it, and you opened it, what are you talking about." The old emperor snorted heavily, a gleam of light in his eyes, and said impatiently.

Seeing that you are a patient and not bothering with you, Master Lin comforted himself and slowly opened the picture scroll, only to see a pretty woman appearing on the paper. He was taken aback and said, "Xian'er?!!"

The old emperor closed his eyes slightly and said: "You can see clearly again, who is she?!" Lin Wanrong carefully looked at the woman in the painting, and saw that she and Xian'er looked very similar, and even the demeanor was seven points similar, but only He seemed to be getting older. Thinking of the picture scroll he saw at Xian'er's house in Longquan Village, Hangzhou, he suddenly realized: "It's not Xian'er, this is Xian'er's mother. It's Concubine Qin!"

The old emperor nodded lightly and sighed: "You are right, she is Concubine Qin. Although I am a respected person in my life, God treats me very harshly. I have two sons and three daughters, two sons and three daughters. The prince was plotted at a young age, and among the three princesses, Nishang was separated from me since childhood, and suffered the most—"

Princess Nishang is Xian'er. Thinking of the old emperor's crisis in the past, he pulled Qin Fei in front of him to resist the assassin, Lin Wanrong was very contemptuous in his heart. But from the point of view of him being the emperor of Dahua, he alone is responsible for the safety of the world. Everyone else can die, but he must survive, and Lin Wanrong doesn't know what to say. Only slightly sighed.

"Things are not as you imagined." The emperor seemed to see through his thoughts, and a trace of anger rose on his face: "That's someone who sincerely poured sewage on me, to make me ugly as a cruel and violent king who doesn't recognize his six relatives. .I am the emperor of the Great China who dominates the world, and the army of ten thousand people will not frown. Concubine Qin gave birth to Princess Nishang for me. She is my closest relative, how could I use her to block the sword?"

Seeing that the old emperor's angry beard was shaking, Lin Wanrong was confused. Looking at the old emperor's appearance, it doesn't look like he is telling a lie. Could it be that Xian'er made a mistake? That's not right, Xian'er said that what she saw with her own eyes,

It is such an honor to have such a father who is an emperor. If there is nothing to hate, Xian'er will never go with Sister An.

"Father, the more you talk about me, the more confused I am." Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "What you and Xian'er said seem to be true, I really can't tell the difference. Didn't Concubine Qin die for you?"

"Concubine Qin did die for me, but she did it voluntarily." The emperor coughed a few times, his face flushed, but his eyes were clear: "On the day the late emperor passed away, It was also the time of King Cheng’s rebellion. On that day, I was assassinated and attacked, and my body was seriously injured. After a few years on the throne, I gradually became cold towards the concubines and concubines in the harem. Nishang was my youngest daughter, and she was only a few years old at that time. Carved jade peck, like a porcelain doll, I don't love concubines and beauties, but I love these two youngest daughters very much."

The youngest two daughters, one is Xian'er, who is the other? Lin Wanrong was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, but the old man stared at him: "Don't interrupt first, wait for me to finish." He paused, calmed his breath and continued: "Because of the relationship between Nishang, I also I often get together with Concubine Qin. At first, Concubine Qin was also very happy, thinking that I doted on her more, but after a long time, I found that I did not favor her anymore, and I felt sad in my heart. She is a weak woman born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is naturally not her opponent when she plays tricks and tricks, so she is always in a trance."

Lin Wanrong nodded, this is not impossible, Xian'er's mother was born in the south of the Yangtze River and grew up by the lake, her temperament should be as gentle as water, and naturally she can't adapt to the intrigues in the palace, and it is not that her long-term suppressed life has changed her into depression. impossible.

"On that day, I and her mother and daughter were enjoying the flowers in Huayuan, but suddenly an assassin broke in. In a hurry, Concubine Qin used her body to block me in front of me, and when Nishang turned around, she only saw The assassin's sharp sword penetrated her mother's body." The old emperor's eyes were filled with a faint mist, his expression was silent, and he seemed to be immersed in the situation of that day again.

"Poor girl." Think of a little girl who is ignorant and ignorant of the world. Seeing her mother lying down in her father's arms with blood flowing, this is such a heartbreaking and desperate picture. No wonder Xian'er and her mother's temperament On the contrary, who can maintain the original purity and innocence after such stimulation? Thinking of this, towards Xian'er's stubbornness and willfulness, he has a deeper mentality to tolerate her and love her.

"Maybe you already know what happened later. Concubine Qin died to save me, and Nishang also disappeared that night, and I lost two relatives overnight. I used all my strength to find Princess Nishang, but found nothing. Until many years later when the White Lotus Sect committed an incident, I sent people to secretly investigate the bandit leader in the Sect, but found that there was a woman named Qin Xian'er under the seat of Our Lady of the White Lotus, and I knew that she was my neon clothes." It is a strong look, but tears are rolling down his eyes. At this time, he looks so lonely and desolate. He is no longer the Emperor of Great China who reigns over the world, but an old man entering his twilight years.

Lin Wanrong looked a little sad, no matter how bad this old man is, but his love for Xian'er can't be faked. He sighed and said softly: "Old man, how are you doing? You decide that Xian'er is your daughter?"

"You don't know about this. Xian'er's mother's surname is Qin, and when I met her in Jiangnan, she had a boudoir name called Xianling! Qin Xianling, Qin Xian'er, looking at her age and appearance, she is really alive and well. When a concubine Qin reborn, I am so confused, yet I will not fail to recognize my daughter." A smile appeared on the old emperor's dry face, as if he recalled the situation at that time.

This is also true. Just by looking at this portrait, you can see how similar her mother and daughter are. It is not difficult for the old emperor to recognize his daughter at a glance. However, since the old emperor recognized Xian'er, why didn't he recognize each other immediately, instead it took so long?

The old emperor's eyes were vicious, and he knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression. He couldn't help but sighed softly: "I know what you think. But Xian'er misunderstood me deeply at that time. She is very disgusted. I have already lost her once, and I must never lose her again. Moreover, if she is in the White Lotus Sect, if her identity is exposed, coupled with her misunderstanding of me, it will definitely give people who are interested. Therefore, I have never revealed Xian'er's identity to anyone, but secretly sent someone to protect it. When you attacked Jining City that day, Xian'er was caught in a thousand guns. When the news came, I could not wait to cut it off. your head."

Lin Wanrong was cold all over. I also said that after the victory, the emperor didn't mention my credit: "Master, you can't blame me for this, if you want to blame Tong Cheng's ulterior motives, I and Xian'er are almost finished. ."

"So, after your subordinate Xu Zhen shot and killed Tong Cheng halfway, Prince Cheng went to the book to investigate the culprit, but I didn't mention a word." The emperor snorted coldly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his eyes fell on On the picture scroll held by Lin Wanrong, he saw Concubine Qin's gentle appearance, and his eyes gradually softened: "After Concubine Qin died, I sealed off her bedroom, and no one was allowed to step in. When I was picking up her relics, I A letter was found by accident."

"What was written in the letter?" Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Is it for Xian'er?"

"You're a bit smart, but my Concubine Qin is not bad." The emperor smiled wryly and sighed, "She was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was originally a woman of Zhong Ling Yuxiu, but she was trapped in the palace, and her heart was getting more and more troubled. She was so in love with me that she blocked the sword for me without hesitation. She was worried that her actions would make Xian'er and me turn against me, so she deliberately left a letter to find her. How could Xian'er even have this letter? I didn't even see the shadow, and disappeared that night. This letter fell into Xian'er's hands, but decades later."

Lin Wanrong was silent for a while. It is better to be late than never. I believe that Xian'er read her mother's letter, and her hatred of the old emperor will be lessened, but if she can forgive him, it may be. "Old man, where is Xian'er now?!" Lin Wanrong asked hurriedly.

"You promise me one thing first, and I will tell you later." The old emperor said solemnly.

"I promise, I promise all of them, old man, please speak quickly." Lin Wanrong said anxiously, thinking of Xian'er.

"You have to promise me that you will love Xian'er and take care of Xian'er for the rest of your life, can you do it?" The old emperor's eyes flashed a little bit, and he raised his voice and asked.

"It can be done, it must be done."

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you and Xian'er will pay their respects."

The old man wants me and Xian'er to go to church? Really, why are you in such a hurry, it's not too late to find Xian'er and worship her again! Seeing that the old emperor's eyes were like torches and his face was full of determination, he had to hold Xian'er's portrait and knelt down slowly.

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "I say one sentence, you say one sentence. I, Lin Wanrong, voluntarily formed a relationship with Princess Nishang--"

"I, Lin Wanrong, voluntarily--became with Princess Nishang--" Lin Wanrong honestly followed.

A stern look flashed in the old emperor's eyes, and he said softly, "-- become brothers and sisters!"
