After being killed by the villain husband

Lin Jingmo took the token to the west gate of the palace, and saw the Imperial Army and Zhang Yiqian waiting at the gate from a distance, so she hid behind the lamp post, waiting for an opportunity to escape, but she didn't see their intention to leave for a long time.

Lin Jingmo hid behind the lamp, not knowing what to do: why are they here?Are you waiting for me on purpose?
When he was worrying about how to get out, Shang Shixu pulled her out from behind the lamp post.

"Shang Shixu! You..." Lin Jingmo was dragged by Shang Shixu and walked towards the west gate.

Lin Jingmo tried his best but couldn't break free.

Sure enough, when they reached the gate, several imperial guards stopped them, and Zhang Yiqian said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to enter the palace without summons. Lin Jingmo entered the palace privately, plotting something wrong, let me take it down!"

As they spoke, several forbidden soldiers walked towards Lin Jingmo, who subconsciously hid behind Shang Shixu.

"Wait!" Shang Shixu spread out the emperor's token in his hand and said, "Who said she entered the palace without summons?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yiqian took a few steps forward, and came to Shang Shixu to take a closer look: "It really is His Majesty's token..."

He snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, this token doesn't mean anything, Shang Shixu, the reason why you can sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Households today is all because of Mr. Zhongshuling. Now you dare to disobey his old man's order? "

Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu after hearing the words. After all, there was a murderous hatred between them, and she never believed in Shang Shixu in her heart.

Sure enough, Shang Shixu put the token back in his arms, took the scroll from Lin Jingmo's hand, unfolded it towards Zhang Yiqian and said, "Zhang Shangshu, why don't you take a look at this first!"

Zhang Yiqian frowned and said, "Xian?"

"That's right, Xian!" Shang Shixu said, "This is the posthumous title bestowed by His Majesty on the late Minister of Officials, Lin Yuanzhi! My husband and I entered the palace according to the call to ask His Majesty to bestow the posthumous title. How can we say that we entered the palace without a call? ?”

Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu's back in surprise: Unexpectedly, he was actually helping me!
Zhang Yiqian's words were flickering, and he said in disbelief: "Lin Yuanzhi colluded with Beiyan and intended to rebel, how could His Majesty bestow him with a virtuous character?"

Shang Shixu rolled up the scroll and said: "Shangshu Lin was loyal to his master and was deeply loved by the people. Whether it was treason or treason, there was no real evidence. How could he be accused of such a big crime with empty words? Besides, look at it. For the sake of the late Queen, Her Majesty Lin Kongqing, how can we, as courtiers, be able to speculate randomly on His Majesty's wishes?"

Zhang Yiqian refused to give up easily, and said: "Even if His Majesty bestowed Lin Yuanzhi with a posthumous title, even if you really have a palace ordered by His Majesty to enter, now the court is investigating the case in the northern border, and Lin Yuanzhi is suspected of colluding with Lu Anmin." , and now his daughter Lin Jingmo is going to be arrested for investigation, Shang Shangshu please get out of the way."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingmo knew what it would mean if she was taken away, so she grabbed Shang Shixu's clothes from behind, and when Shang Shixu saw this, he directly raised his hand to hold Lin Jingmo behind him.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Jingmo's heart was ashamed at this moment: Are you going to... hand me over to him?
Unexpectedly, Shang Shixu exerted a slight force on his arm, hugged her in his arms and said, "Lin Jingmo married me three years ago. She is my wife, Shang Shixu."

Zhang Yiqian chuckled and said, "We won't do anything to your wife, but... we just want to ask her about something."

"Inquiry?" Shang Shixu raised his chin and said, "My wife is just an ordinary housewife, and she hasn't broken any laws. How can I let you ask any questions you want?"

"This..." Zhang Yiqian looked at Shang Shixu, the two of them were at war with each other, and neither of them wanted to take a step back.

Lin Jingmo nestled in Shang Shixu's arms. She never thought that the safest place in the world would be in Shang Shixu's arms.

She understood that on the surface it was an interrogation, but in fact she wanted to get out of her mouth unfavorable testimony against Lin Yuanzhi. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that under severe punishment, she would inevitably lose her mouth and ruin her father's integrity in serving the people all his life. reputation.

At this moment, Chen Mian came to Ximen with the forbidden army.

Lin Jingmo looked up at Shang Shixu, who said softly to her, "Don't be afraid."

He saw Shang Shixu holding Lin Jingmo tightly and confronting Zhang Yiqian, refusing to let Lin Jingmo go to them, and said with a sneer: "Congratulations to Mr. Shang Shangshu on his promotion, everyone is his own, why bother to make a fuss?" It's out of control, and you will be an official in the same dynasty in the future, if you bow your head but don't look up, wouldn't it be a loss of harmony?"

Shang Shixu's face became expressionless again, and he took out the imperial decree in his arms and said, "It's not that I want to embarrass you two adults, but that His Majesty's imperial decree is for this, and he wants my husband and wife to go to Zhao Prison to bring them back now." Yuezhang Lin Yuanzhi was buried with honor."

After all, he took another meaningful look at Chen Mianzheng and said, "Your Majesty's illness is about to be cured, why should your lord kill them all? After all, she is the most beloved sister of the former empress, and she has no influence on us at all. , if His Majesty is well enough to arouse his suspicion and investigate the matter carefully, wouldn't the Zhongshu Ling not be worth the loss?"

When Chen Mian heard the words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: Your Majesty, is he getting well soon...

Chen Mianzheng's goal has always been Lin Yuanzhi. Now that Lin Yuanzhi is dead and his goal has been achieved, even if he can't be convicted of treason, fortunately he committed suicide and arrested Lin Jingmo to send Zhang Yi It's all about being humble.

He glanced sideways at Zhang Yiqian: In terms of resourcefulness, how can Zhang Yiqian compare to Shang Shixu?
He has the weakness of Shang Shixu in his hands, and he can kill him at any time. If such a useful person is used by him, why bother to break face with him because of Zhang Yiqian?He just wanted a woman.

Thinking of this, Chen Mian waved his hand towards the guard at the door and said, "Since my son has the emperor's order, let's do it quickly."

After saying that, the door was opened, and Shang Shixu took Lin Jingmo's hand and ran out of the palace gate.

Zhang Yiqian looked at Chen Mianzheng in surprise and said, "Lord Zhongshuling! This is?"

Chen Mianzheng said to Zhang Yiqian with a cold face: "The imperial decree has been brought out, there is nothing else to say, just let her go, there is no need to entangle her anymore. She is a girl, you are afraid that you will not have the opportunity to kill her in the future ?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yiqian understood, and said, "Crossing the river to demolish bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys, I never thought that a person of your status as Zhongshuling would do such a thing? Don't be afraid that I will help you with the things I do." Shake it out?"

Chen Mian sneered at Zhang Yiqian's words, and said disdainfully, "Master Zhang, be careful! We are all in the same boat when you say those things, and by cooperating with me, you not only get money, but also have beauties. Don't be too greedy." .”

After Zhang Yiqian heard this, although he was still unhappy, he didn't say any more, and then walked away.
