Chapter 367

☆★☆★☆★

The emperor finally decided to put the three of them under house arrest in Huanyuexuan.

When he left, he glanced at Lin Zhaoyan and couldn't help but stand upside down.

Lin Chen protected Lin Zhaoyan tightly, fearing that the emperor would be detrimental to her.

However, Lin Zhaoyan kept the clouds and winds calmly until the emperor's figure completely disappeared from sight, until Huanyuexuan's palace gate was tightly closed, until everything around him calmed down, she became weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhao'er!" Lin Chen held her, his eyes full of blame and heartache, "Why are you doing this!"

Lin Zhaoyan smiled powerlessly, "I can't watch my father die."

Lin Chen closed his eyes, and his heart became more and more sore and painful. After a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "It was my father who dragged you down."

"It's all a family. I'm talking about whether to drag down or not. I understand what my father is thinking in his heart. It's because I was too self-centered before." Lin Zhaoyan held Lin Chen's hand and sincerely comforted him.

Although what Mo Shuang said to her was ulterior motives, it is undeniable that what she said made sense.

She cannot make decisions for her father, and she should not put her own opinions on her father.

She wanted her father to live, but she should respect his wishes more.

Lin Chen felt a pain in his heart, like thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

If you have a daughter like this, what else can you ask for?

It was him who let down his daughter's wishes, which made her suffer!

At this moment, he no longer wanted to investigate how Lin Zhaoyan learned the truth and how he entered the palace. What are these in the face of life and death?

He held Lin Zhaoyan's hand tightly, "Zhao'er, my father will never let you get into trouble. You probably don't know yet. My father has cooperated secretly with Prince Xiao from the Xiao Mansion, and he will definitely keep you safe."

Lin Zhaoyan pulled the corners of his lips. She didn't know if Prince Xiao would help her. But Xiao Qi would definitely help her.

But he must have other purposes, and he probably has no chance to count on Su Wen.

As for the second prince, he is not a fool who only understands love. She has already made the words so clear. If he is still hot, it would be a waste of her efforts.

So you have to rely on yourself.

How can you rely on others when it comes to life and death?

Lin Zhaoyan took out the palace map that had been prepared from his sleeve, pointed to an address that had been studied many times and marked with ink, and turned to ask Concubine Wan, "Empress, how long will it take to get from Huanyuexuan to this pavilion?"

silence.

"We have not had much time, and the emperor will soon find out that I am lying, so we must leave this place as soon as possible. Although we can't leave the palace for the time being, we can avoid the limelight. Anyway, there are not a few days of peace in the palace. When the time comes, we can escape in the chaos." Lin Zhaoyan continued to explain to himself.

This is a plan she made early in the morning.

She wanted to save Concubine Wan from the palace.

As the saying goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son." She thought about using that prophecy to make herself caught by the emperor in the palace, so that she can have the chance to get in touch with Concubine Wan.

But in this way, I will be in great danger.

Not to mention that the emperor would be afraid of her, Concubine Jing and others would definitely look for opportunities to harm her.

In order to prevent herself from being harmed before she succeeds, she must find a way out.

She didn't have such a broad way to take Concubine Wan out of the palace under heavy vigilance, so the best way was to find a hidden place to hide first, and then escape when the third prince was forced to rebel and the palace was in turmoil.

She believed that the third prince couldn't hold it in long after the prophecy was said. After all, she was the second prince's fiancée. Didn't it be clear that he wanted to help the second prince succeed to the throne? How could he be willing to do it as arrogant as the third prince? He would not let go and feel sorry for his actions over the years.

Originally, she had the mentality of letting go, but since she cooperated with Mr. Feng Qing, she has become more confident about her plan.

After all, the relationship between Mr. Feng Qing and the third prince is there, and there are many more people available in the palace than her, so it will be easier for them to run.

What's more, she originally thought that Young Master Feng Qing had the ability to take Concubine Wan out of the palace first.

She is alone and has no worries, so it will always be more convenient.

only……

Thinking of Mr. Feng Qing, Lin Zhaoyan felt a pain in his heart.

Since she entered the palace, she has never seen Mr. Feng Qing, and she doesn't know how to deal with his body.

She can't save him, at least she should be buried well.

The more Lin Zhaoyan thought about it, the more painful it felt in his heart. He finally forced himself to calm down and realized the silence of the atmosphere as if it were dead.

Concubine Wan never responded to her words.

"Empress Wan?" Lin Zhaoyan raised his head suspiciously and was stunned.

I saw a beautiful face covered with tears. She stared at her without saying a word, but tears kept flowing, and deep mourning and longing were found in her dark eyes.

She had never seen such a touching emotion in a person's eyes.

Deep sorrow and ultimate joy are intertwined in the eyes of the same person, which makes people feel shocked from the depths of their hearts.

Lin Zhaoyan's heart trembled suddenly, and then he realized that this was the first time they had officially met, as mother and daughter.

I was nervous and complicated before, or maybe I had seen it countless times in my dream, but I didn't pay attention for a moment.

At this moment, she looked at herself with that look, making her unable to face it for a moment.

She didn't want to recognize each other and tell each other about her mother and daughter in this situation, so she turned her head and said calmly: "I..."

"Xin'er!" Xu Wanru suddenly stepped forward and hugged her in her arms.

Lin Zhaoyan suddenly froze.

"Xin'er, it's mother who is sorry for you, it's mother who is sorry for you!" Xu Wanru hugged her tightly and used all her strength, as if she was trying to carve her into her bones and blood.

Her daughter, the daughter she missed day and night, and the daughter who always wrestled her heart when she woke up at midnight.

She is still alive.

Living in her arms, she could feel her body temperature and her soft body, just like when she was just born.

After learning the truth from Qing'er, she was not expecting a reunion with Xin'er for a moment. She thought she would be excited, satisfied, and couldn't help but feel happy.

But until now, when she saw her confronting the emperor calmly and calmly, she realized that all she had was panic and fear.

Her heart has grown up and is no longer the little baby who needs her protection.

She no longer needs her mother.

She may also become her burden.

She has lost her once and doesn't want to lose her again.

But my heart, my mother is so weak and incompetent, how can I protect you?

"Xin'er, my heart..." Xu Wanru hugged her tighter, leaving no gap. She was afraid that she would not have the chance to hold her again in the future, so she wanted to give her all the love that had been late for fifteen years.

Although, she seemed to be unable to give anything.

Lin Zhaoyan was so hung up by her that she was almost breathless, but she didn't struggle at all. After the initial shock, she let her hold her obediently, and even stretched out her hand to wrap her around and said softly, "Mother..."

Xu Wanru's heart trembled suddenly, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You, what are you calling me?"

"Mother." Lin Zhaoyan repeated, murmured, "Xin'er knew that you were my biological mother early in the morning. She had long had thoughts in her heart and had always wanted to find an opportunity to come to the palace to see you."

Xu Wanru shook even harder, and the tears that had stopped could not help but fall, instantly wet Lin Zhaoyan's back neck.

Lin Zhaoyan only felt the back of his neck was cold, but his heart was so warm that it was like hot spring water slowly flowing through his heart.

But it is not the time when children are in love. She sighed and said softly: "Mother, please let me go. I won't run away. From now on, I will be with you forever. Now, we want to discuss how to escape from here."

When Xu Wanru heard this, she immediately returned to reality.

She let go of Lin Zhaoyan, lowered her eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's me that I'm not concerned, it's my fault."

Lin Zhaoyan knew that she must have thought of Mr. Feng Qing.
