"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, listen to your son's report!”
"The Yin Yang Marquis is famous for being able to understand Yin and Yang and cut off the matters of the netherworld!”
"Your son is filled with admiration. When I heard that Yin Yang Marquis came to the palace yesterday, I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I ran here to satisfy my curiosity!”
"Yin Yang Marquis's abilities are great, and your son admires him. We'll talk all night and spend the night together!”
"Other than that, nothing else happened. I hope Imperial Father and Imperial Mother will investigate!”
Princess Chang Le still knew the big picture.
She didn't tell him about how she and Lin Xiu slept together last night.
Instead, he used a more tactful method.
Lin Xiu felt much more relaxed.
After all, in ancient times, a woman's chastity was more important than her life.
It was not an exaggeration to say that even if you were walking on the street and accidentally saw a woman's exposed forearm.
Just this glance alone was enough to make people think that there was skin to skin contact.
From now on, he had to marry her. If he didn't marry her, it would ruin his reputation.
That woman would rather hang herself to preserve her innocence.
Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun also heaved a sigh of relief.
If it was really last night that Lin Xiu slept with his own daughter, once it spread out, it would definitely damage the imperial family's face.
Li Shi Min reprimanded him in a low voice," Nonsense! The Yin Yang Lord came to the palace to settle the case. How can I allow you to do this?" This is the only time. If something similar happens again, don't blame Father for grounded you for three months!”
"What? Imperial Father, don't blame me, your son knows his mistake!" Princess Chang Le hurriedly begged for mercy.
Empress Zhangsun shook her head helplessly.
"Lin Hou, did you manage to find out about the ghost last night?”
Li Shi Min changed the topic and asked Lin Xiu with a gentle expression.
Lin Xiu nodded and bowed slightly,""Your Majesty, it was indeed not peaceful in the Great Peace Palace yesterday. There were only seven ghosts and they have yet to mature. However, there is another matter that I have to ask the Retired Emperor in person. Only the Retired Emperor can resolve this matter!”
"Oh?" Li Shi Min was startled and frowned.
However, after thinking about it, Li Shiming nodded in agreement.
"Alright, the Retired Emperor is currently in another palace. However, I'm going to court soon and I'm afraid I can't bring you there personally.”Li Shi Min said.
Lin Xiu was startled and turned to look at Princess Chang Le.
He saw the good servant girl giggling as she looked at him. He hurriedly bowed and said,""Imperial Father, don't worry. With your son around, I will definitely bring Yin Yang Marquis to play…No, no, no, I will go to Grandfather's place!”
Li Shi Min nodded helplessly and left with Supervisor Wang and Empress Zhangsun.
After they left, Lin Xiu also hurriedly walked out.
Princess Chang Le, who was behind him, quickly caught up and said,""Yin Yang Marquis, why are you running? Do you think I can eat you? I'm not a demon!"
Demons? If you were a devil, I wouldn't be afraid.
Lin Xiu shook his head with a bitter smile and did not say a word.
The reason why he was anxious was that he didn't want to get entangled with Princess Chang Le. After all, if word got out, it would be bad for his reputation. Secondly, he couldn't delay the matter of Zhong Kui. He had to get a result today.
"Your Highness, I'm in a hurry to see the Retired Emperor. Please don't play around and bring me there quickly!”
"Hehe, what's so difficult about that? Let's go, I know where the Retired Emperor is currently staying!”Princess Changle said with a smile.
Thus, the few of them headed straight to a certain place in the Imperial Palace and quickly walked over.
In a certain bedroom.
Li Yuan had already woken up, although he did not dream of the seven little ghosts coming to take his life last night.
However, he still did not sleep well.
She tossed and turned and woke up several times.
It wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep.
Just as he was preparing to have breakfast, Lin Xiu and Princess Chang Le arrived.
When he saw Princess Chang Le jumping into Li Yuan's arms with a smile, he could see that the relationship between the two of them was not bad.
"This subject, Lin Xiu, greets Retired Emperor!”Lin Xiu bowed.
Li Yuan nodded and quickly walked over to support him.
"Lin Hou, there's no need to be so polite. How was yesterday? Did you get rid of those seven little ghosts?”Li Yuan said.
Lin Xiu smiled.
"Of course I've already eliminated him, but I still have one more thing to ask the Retired Emperor!”
"Oh? Why don't you tell me what it is?"
Li Yuan frowned and returned to his seat.
He also got people to move two stools for Lin Xiu and Princess Chang Le.
Lin Xiu was truly not used to the Great Tang kneeling.
After sitting down, Lin Xiu said,"Retired Emperor, do you remember that during the years of Wude, there was a scholar from Zhongnan Mountain who came to the palace to meet the Saint?"”
"Martial Virtue Era? Imperial examinations?"
Li Yuan frowned and pondered for a long time.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had long forgotten about this matter.
Lin Xiu wasn't in a hurry and continued," This person's name is Zhong Kui, also known as Zhengnan. He was from Zhongnan County at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. He passed the Jinshi examination and entered the palace to meet the emperor. At that time, the Retired Emperor saw this person and dismissed him from the Jinshi position because of his ugly appearance. This person had a strong personality and died in a rage. Do you still remember?”
After hearing these words.
Li Yuan suddenly understood and nodded,"I remember now, it's true!”
"After this person died, he was unwilling and wandered around the palace as a lonely soul. It has been six or seven years now. The old man who saved the Retired Emperor in his dreams was this person!”Lin Xiu continued.
Li Yuan was also shocked.
"I see!"
"Between heaven and earth, the Dao is natural. Nothing can escape the cycle of karma. There is cause and effect, and the heavens are clear. Back then, because of a single word from the Retired Emperor, he lost his life in vain. After Zhong Kui died, he did not hate this. He only thought about the position of Jinshi that the Retired Emperor had removed!”
"This, this, this…Yin Yang Marquis, I was also muddle-headed back then. How could I have thought of such a consequence? Does Yin Yang Duke have a way to break it?" Li Yuan also frowned.
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Back then, because of a single sentence from him, he despised the other party's ugliness and killed himself in the main hall.
Now that he was being pestered by the little ghost, not only did the little ghost not hate him, but he even returned the favor and saved his life.
How could Li Yuan not feel guilty?
Lin Xiu smiled and nodded." If the Retired Emperor wants to make up for his mistake back then, it's not that there's no way. He only needs to issue two imperial edicts!"”
"Two imperial edicts? Now that I have abdicated for many years, what is the use of this imperial edict?”Li Yuan frowned.
His son had taken over all his power.
Other than the idle position of Retired Emperor, the imperial edict was useless.
Lin Xiu smiled,"Retired Emperor only needs to issue the decree. As for the rest, leave it to me to handle!"”
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"Come on, bring me brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
