Chapter 393 Previous Life Chapter 37 Father, Chen'er can't see mother anymore
When she woke up again, she was facing Xiao Yun's face which was frozen pale.
He held her in his arms. No, to be more precise, he held her body in his arms.
He didn't sleep, nor did he speak, but his slender white hands occasionally traced her eyebrows and traced her lips.
In order to prevent the corpse from decaying, a lot of ice was piled up in the dark room, and the temperature was very low. What's more, the thousand-year-old black ice under her corpse turned water into ice, and the temperature was extremely low.
Fortunately, he had internal strength to support himself. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been frozen to death long ago.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at him for a while, not knowing what mood she should be in to face him, so she floated away.
There is no snow tonight, nor is there any cold wind, as if all the wind and snow have stopped.
But the snow on the ground has not melted yet, and it is still white.
She stepped on the snow without leaving any footprints, but she still enjoyed it.
Suddenly, she vaguely heard crying, the sound was getting closer and closer, and there were some messy footsteps.
She followed the voice and saw Lin Qingchen in her underwear, wearing only a fox fur coat, holding Xiao Jingchen, who was also wearing a small fox fur coat, and walking towards the dark room angrily, followed by the steward of Zhuyuan and a group of guards.
Xiao Jingchen saw Lin Zhaoyue and reached out to her, sobbing and shouting:
"Auntie."
When Lin Qingchen heard Xiao Jingchen's voice, his eyes fixed on his side, guessing that his sister was standing there.
He stopped and said:
"You guys step back first, I'll take the little prince with me."
After those people left, Lin Qingchen immediately accused:
"Zhao Zhao, look, how exactly does Xiao Yan act as a father? He just coaxes the baby to sleep and then leaves him alone. Doesn't he know that the child will cry if he can't find him in the middle of the night..."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Jingchen with red eyes, stretched out her arms to hug him, and asked:
"Why is Chen'er crying?"
Although she had only had a short time to interact with Xiao Jingchen, Xiao Jingchen knew that his father was very busy with government affairs, and it was common for him to go to the study to handle government affairs after coaxing him to sleep.
He wouldn't cry just because he couldn't find his father in the middle of the night.
Xiao Jingchen leaned over and leaned into Lin Zhaoyue's arms, hiccuping and saying with a red nose:
"Chen'er just had a dream that my father and mother no longer wanted me, leaving me alone."
Lin Zhaoyue patted Xiao Jingchen's back gently and said softly:
"My dear, that was just a dream. Father and mother will never abandon you."
Lin Zhaoyue comforted him. Xiao Jingchen was still young, and she didn't want Xiao Yan to do something ridiculous that would affect him, so she said:
"When Chen'er sees your father later, tell him that you dreamed of your mother. Your mother said that the dark room was too cold and she didn't want to stay there."
After her body is buried, Xiao Yan should not be so absurd.
"Okay, Chen'er got it."
After listening to Xiao Jingchen's words, Xiao Yan was silent for a while and said:
"Okay, Father understands."
As he said that, he carried Xiao Jingchen back to the main courtyard.
On the third day after Liu Yiyi and Liu Bo Jianlun committed adultery, something big happened again.
Marquis Xuanping wrote a confession in blood and submitted it to the emperor.
The content of the blood letter not only shocked the civil and military officials, but also caused an uproar among the people of An State.
It turns out that Liu Bojian and Liu Yiyi are not the children of Marquis Xuanping, but remnants of the previous dynasty.
The people of the previous dynasty used a trick to kill Marquis Xuanping's child and then inserted Liu Bojian in. The current queen was actually a princess of the previous dynasty. After they killed Marquis Xuanping's daughter who was wandering outside, they took the token and brought the jade to Marquis Xuanping's house to recognize him.
What is even more shocking is that it was Liu Bojian and Liu Yiyi who obstructed the Lin family of Beiyangguan from colluding with the enemy and committing treason.
Marquis Xuanping felt that he had mistaken his enemies for his own sons and failed to discover and perceive their motives in time, which led to a great disaster. He immediately resigned from his official position, asked to be stripped of his title and become a commoner, and moved his entire family to the border, never to return to the capital.
Today is the day when Marquis Xuanping and his family are leaving the capital. Many people have come to join in the fun, and some are reluctant to let Marquis Xuanping go.
After all, Marquis Xuanping had made great contributions in overthrowing the Ye family and resisting the Northern Jue. The people all remembered his kindness, and even the current emperor personally saw him off.
Throughout history, the only person who was exiled and was personally seen off by the emperor was Marquis Xuanping.
Someone burst into tears and cursed:
"Ah, these damned remnants of the previous dynasty have caused so much harm to people. They are all heartless. If it weren't for them, how could Marquis Xuanping have asked to go to the border!"
"Although Xuanping Hou made a mistake, he is already old. Why would he go to the bitter cold borderland?"
"The state has its own laws. Xuanping Hou was in a high position, but he made such a big mistake, which led to the loss of Beiyang Pass, the fall of eleven cities, and the execution of the entire Lin family. According to the law, he should be beheaded for such a serious crime, but Your Majesty was lenient and agreed to his request, giving the meritorious official the last bit of dignity."
"Yes! Although they became civilians and were exiled to the border, at least they are still alive. As long as they are alive, there is hope. But Duke Lin's family, who have always been guarding the border and are loyal, were killed by those people from the previous dynasty."
"Now thinking back to the day when the Lin family was beheaded, I spat at them and threw rotten eggs at them. I felt that I deserved to die. How could I treat a loyal minister like that? If it weren't for them, the Northern Jue might have invaded Anguo long ago! No, I'm going to buy some incense, paper money and offerings later to apologize to them."
"I will go too, or I will feel guilty."
"I am coming too……"
Everyone agreed.
There are also different voices in the crowd.
Someone lowered his voice and said:
"With the wisdom of Marquis Xuanping, it's ok that he didn't realize that Liu Yiyi was the princess of the previous dynasty. After all, she had just been recognized after being separated for many years. But Liu Bojian has been by his side for so many years. I don't believe that he didn't notice any clues."
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember that Marquis Xuanping is on the side of the eldest prince, while Duke Lin has always been a royalist. When Second Miss Lin married His Majesty, who was then the crown prince, Duke Lin began to support His Majesty. In this way, Marquis Xuanping and Duke Lin are in opposition. Marquis Xuanping wants to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne, so he will naturally try every means to eliminate Your Majesty's support. It is hard to say whether Marquis Xuanping was involved in the Beiyang Pass incident."
"It's hard to say. It's a pity that Duke Lin served the country all his life, but died in a conspiracy. His entire family was executed, and Miss Lin was also implicated. She was stripped of her throne and imprisoned in the cold palace. She died tragically in the cold palace a few days ago. Such a loyal minister didn't even have a descendant, and was charged with treason after his death. It's really chilling."
"In other words, such a hero should be honored posthumously. He deserves our admiration from generation to generation and should not be stigmatized."
"Yes, he should be posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Lin, and the former deposed empress should be posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Lin!"
I don't know who spoke first, but everyone started to speak in unison.
"Your Majesty, please posthumously confer the title of Duke of Lin on the late Queen!"
"Your Majesty, please posthumously confer the title of Duke of Lin on the late Queen..."
The sound was like thunder, vibrating everyone's eardrums.
The carriage of Marquis Xuanping had long since left the city gate, but their voices could still be heard.
He smiled and thought:
Old friend, I will give you back your good name...
……
Xiao Yun stood on the towering city wall, looking down at the people below the wall, and replied in a deep voice:
"I have granted your request! Duke Lin is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the late queen is gentle and virtuous. It was my negligence that led to the traitor's scheme, causing the loyal ministers to suffer injustice for a long time! I am also at fault. I will set up tablets for them in the palace and offer sacrifices to them every day."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people cheered with joy.
On that day, the first thing Xiao Yun did when he returned to the palace was to draft an edict to posthumously confer the title of Duke of Lin on Lin, but as for the late queen, he would restore her position as queen.
The Ministry of Rites submitted a letter pointing out many inappropriate aspects of the proposal, but they were all rejected by Xiao Yun.
On this day, many people came to the long-abandoned Lin Mansion, which was overgrown with weeds, and spontaneously cleaned it up. They also set up a mourning hall to worship Duke Lin. Since then, there has never been a shortage of offerings in the mourning hall.
Lin Qingchen was wearing a veil. When she passed by the Lin Mansion, she saw the flowers and offerings all over the ground. She couldn't help crying, so she found a place to cry after arriving at the Bamboo Garden.
Liu Bojian was beheaded in public, and Liu Yiyi was locked up in the cold palace because she was pregnant with the emperor's son. She was expected to make plans after the prince was born. However, only a very few people knew that Liu Yiyi was in the cold palace at the moment, living a life worse than death.
She experienced everything she had done to Lin Zhaoyue before.
She wanted to die but couldn't, and finally became crazy and died in the winter of the following year.
A year passed quickly, and Lin Zhaoyue accompanied Xiao Jingchen for a year, although most of the time, she was forced to stay with Xiao Yan.
The people of the previous dynasty have been dealt with, the Lin family's crime of treason has been cleared, Xiao Yun is also diligent in governing the country, and Anguo is thriving.
The news that Xiao Jingchen was still alive was passed on to Jiangnan by Lin Qingchen. When Duke Lin and Madam Lin learned that their grandson was still alive, they rushed to Kyoto, hoping to arrive there before Xiao Jingchen's birthday.
Xiao Jingchen knew that his birthday was tomorrow, and tomorrow he would be four years old.
Xiao Jingchen was excited the whole night, but his excitement only lasted until the moment he opened his eyes after falling asleep.
Over the past year, Lin Zhaoyue had always been sleeping with him and his father. Xiao Jingchen's first reaction when he opened his eyes was to look for Lin Zhaoyue, but he couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried.
"Auntie!"
Xiao Jingchen looked around and shouted.
Lin Zhaoyue was awakened by Xiao Jingchen's voice. She yawned and hummed.
But Xiao Jingchen seemed to be unable to find her. His chubby little hand touched her position, his eyes full of panic, and he shouted again:
"Mother, where are you?"
Lin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat and she waved her hand in front of him, but Xiao Jingchen didn't react. He really couldn't see her.
what happened?
Lin Zhaoyue also became anxious and tried every possible means:
"Chen'er, mother is here..."
Xiao Jingchen couldn't see or hear anything, he was so anxious that he was about to cry, and ran off the bed barefoot.
Xiao Yan was awakened by Xiao Jingchen's movement. He opened his eyes and saw him getting out of bed barefoot and picking him up.
"Want to go to the bathroom?"
When Xiao Jingchen saw Xiao Yan wake up, tears immediately flowed out of his eyes. He said anxiously:
"Father, I can't see my mother anymore!"
During this year, Xiao Yan had no idea of Lin Zhaoyue's existence.
"Hmm? Can't see mother?"
