Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 337 The Root of the King!

Prince Nan'an's body trembled slightly, his brows were tightly furrowed, his heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed tightly on the retired emperor, waiting for the other party's next words, as if a silent confrontation was unfolding between the two of them.

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor, "I advise you not to act rashly. Do you think your sword can be faster than the blade of the Dragon Scale Guard?"

He paused, his voice cold and clear.

"Now, you need to answer, are you the bastard of the Lin family, or the Prince of Nan'an himself?"

As the retired emperor asked the question, the entire hall seemed to freeze, and an indescribable sense of tension filled the air.

The candlelight flickered, and the light and shadows moved in patches on everyone's face.

The clock outside the window seemed to ring twice.

"If you admit that you are the bastard of the Lin family, I will help you reunite as a family."

"After all, two sons and one daughter are rare among men."

There was a subtle hint of emotion in the words of the Emperor.

"If the Queen Mother were still alive, she would definitely be envious of such a family. But, it is fortunate that she was not able to witness what happened today."

At this point, he turned his head slightly, his eyes swept across the Queen Mother's coffin parked not far away, and he murmured "I'm sorry".

Then he turned to King Nan'an again and continued:

"However, if you insist that you are the King of Nan'an, then the reputation of the Lin family will be ruined, and you will be regarded as a fraud who steals the name and clings to the powerful."

The Emperor's voice suddenly became stern.

"It is not a pity to die for such behavior! I will order people to send them to another 'road', a destination from which there is no turning back.

And this decision will also be given a grand name - since the Queen Mother loves them so much, let them accompany her to the underworld and be buried with her."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into deathly silence, leaving only the candlelight swaying in the wind, as if it was the only flame of life still beating.

……

"Gudong..." The Lin family's hearts were beating like a well.

The old emperor is so insidious.

Lin Daiyu's eyes widened. She really didn't expect it. "

Can the lives of all the Lin family be worth a throne?

It’s so valuable, you really don’t want to die?

She didn't know what she expected now. She hoped that he would say he was the illegitimate son of the Lin family and save the lives of his family first.

Then go and seize the throne.

It's exciting to think about it, but it's a fool's idea.

This emperor will definitely not allow the evil to revive.

The Lin family must have been sent to the ends of the earth.

Slash-and-burn farming.

But if it was the King of Nannan, the Lin family would immediately set out on the road to the underworld.

But I'm still a little disappointed!

Especially Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were like burning stars in the night sky.

Shining brightly.

He blurted out,

"Confucius said, 'The virtue of a gentleman is like the wind, while the virtue of a villain is like grass. The wind blows over the grass, and the grass will bend."

There was silence all around, only Lin Ruhai's face became brighter.

……

Listening to Lin Ruhai's reading, the emotions in Prince Nan'an's eyes were like boiling water passing through magma, without air or wind.

“Hahahaha…” The emperor laughed loudly and arrogantly.

“Is this so difficult to choose?”

"Tiffany Nan'an, how about you make the choice?"

He changed the subject and directed his attack at the Concubine Nan'an.

Concubine Nan'an sneered, "Your Majesty, you don't need to provoke me."

"I don't know my son yet."

"He's not as cold-blooded as you."

"When it comes to human life, there is no quick decision."

The emperor smiled slightly, as if he was sure of victory.

When he saw his son, a proud look appeared on his face.

The emperor couldn't help but glare at him.

……

And watching all this in the side hall, Jia Mu, Wang Furen, Xing Furen, ...

Everyone is holding their breath.

Mrs. Xing's face turned pale. It's over, it's over...

This Yingchun is in trouble.

Anyone who is not a fool will know how to choose. The choice will definitely be to be the King of Nannan!

What a bastard of the Lin family!

The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Wang's hand also stopped, for fear that if she moved, she would miss the scene of seeing the Lin family being buried alive with the Queen Mother.

But Grandmother Jia was extremely upset.

I didn't expect that the emperor was still in control of everything.

She looked at Mrs. Wang, whose eyes were filled with excitement.

Sighed.

It's all over. This daughter-in-law is still dreaming.

If what is happening before our eyes is true, then in the eyes of the retired emperor, are they loyal or treasonous in sending their daughter into the palace?

……

At this time, the voice of the Emperor continued to ring out.

"Is it really that difficult to choose whose son you are?"

"The Queen Mother is gone, and I don't want to kill anyone in front of her spirit."

"It will save me from her complaints in the future."

"Well, I'll give you some time."

"Don't say I'm unkind."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the only monk in the field, Miaoyu.

"I heard that you are good at spirit writing."

"So my granddaughter brought you here from the Jia family."

"Now that you are here, I wonder if you can figure it out, and if you can still go back?"

"How long do they have left to live?"

"How long do I have left to live?"

As soon as the three questions were asked, the emperor admired the pale faces of everyone.

Under the light and shadow, everyone's fear will contribute to the sadness of the moment.

Thinking of this, he continued to release his sadness.

"You have answered these three questions to my satisfaction. I will escort you out of the palace."

"You can also make your nunnery flourish."

"Just like Taoist Master Zhang from Qingxu Temple."

"If it doesn't work, then you are just a person seeking fame and reputation, so it's not a pity to die!"

Damn! This question is too insulting. How dare you predict how long the emperor can live?

This is because I am tired of living.

Long live the emperor.

What’s more, he is the emperor emeritus, so he should live long and long.

The people below were dumbfounded and cursed in their hearts.

At the Jia family's side hall, Mrs. Wang looked at Miaoyu and also sighed.

If you fail at the last moment, a perfectly good chess piece will be wasted.

This is the emperor who wants to kill people.

He couldn't control the fire in his heart.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang also shuddered.

How many people does the emperor want to be buried with the empress dowager?

Miaoyu stood up slowly.

His face was as calm as a mirror and he bowed slightly to the emperor.

"It is said that, Fuqi, Fuqi, heaven cannot be deceived, earth cannot be deceived."

"People should not be deceived."

"My Buddhist name is Miaoyu, and I just told the princess that."

"It's OK to use the spirit writing, but we still need one more person."

"It's Lin's Daiyu."

"Now that I am here, please allow me to borrow it for a while."

Hearing this, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Lin Daiyu, with a hint of amusement between his brows, as if he was examining a new puzzle.

"Aren't you deceiving me?"

"It's not like I haven't seen a spirit medium before."

"One person can communicate with heaven and earth, why do we need outsiders?"

"And why her?"

Just listen to Miaoyu's voice like the breeze and the bright moon, passing through everyone's heart,

"Daiyu, jade is the foundation of the king."

"If you want to find the luck of a king, you should find the root of a king."

When this boast was made, not only the retired emperor, but also the emperor and all the royal relatives kneeling below were affected.

everyone,

Everyone in the Lin family, including them, looked at Lin Daiyu with surprise, admiration, and confusion.

This is a big hat.

Lin Daiyu's neck was almost bent by the pressure. She was stunned.

I think I am good at fooling people.

How come Miaoyu remained calm and collected despite the lies?

Return the King's roots,

This word... is quite neat!

Those called jade are the roots of the king!

I can't bear being fooled into thinking I'm so great!

Life is not as heavy as eight taels, but a hat weighs a thousand pounds!

I just want to be a grandmother of the Lin family, eating, drinking and having fun until I’m a hundred years old.

Why... is it so difficult?

Even if you are trying to save someone, you can't praise him so highly. As the saying goes, the higher you praise him, the harder he falls!

The fear is that the emperor will have unnecessary associations.

After all, the pursuit of royal power is an eternal pain in their hearts!

……

As expected, the emperor's attention was immediately diverted. With a gloomy face, he questioned the people below,

"Does anyone in your family have a name containing jade?"

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads, wondering if they really didn't have it or if they were afraid of being called the King's Root?

Very good! You, a nun, are even more capable of lying than that Taoist Zhang.

The emperor was filled with resentment, but Miaoyu's dignified demeanor

It doesn't seem like a lie, so let this root of the king show its power!

I also learned a lot!

Thinking of this, the emperor waved his hand and said to Lin Ruhai,

"I didn't expect that. I just said your child is a rare talent."

“Someone actually took it seriously!”

"What were you thinking at the time? Why was your daughter named Daiyu?"

"I'm very curious, please explain it to me!"

The tone was full of questioning and mockery.
