You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 386: Past Life (3) Lin Zhaoyue: Two Xiao Yins?

When the carriage stopped, Lin Zhaoyue was still asleep.

When she was sucked in by a force and opened her eyes, she found herself in the rockery of the Imperial Garden.

She looked at the two Xiao Yan in front of her and thought her eyes were blurry. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but she still saw the two Xiao Yan.

Same height, same body shape, same appearance...

Is she seeing a ghost today?

At this moment, a Xiao Yan said:

"Stay away from me."

Looking at the person in front of him with his face full of the smell of powder and some unpleasant fishy smell, Xiao Yan frowned.

Seeing Xiao Ying frowning, Xiao Ying became frightened, took a few steps back and knelt down.

Lin Zhaoyue stood aside. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could already tell the two people apart. That person was not Xiao Yan.

No matter what happened, Xiao Yun never showed such a frightened expression.

But she had never heard that Xiao Yan had a twin brother, and her master had never told her either. So who was he?

The red lips lifted slightly, and Xiao Yun's low voice came over.

"Has she had any doubts in the past few days?"

The kneeling "Xiao Yan" replied respectfully:

"Never. I am very cautious."

Xiao Yan nodded, handed him a white porcelain bottle, and said:

"Go down!"

The man took the porcelain bottle and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Xin took him out through the secret passage in the rockery, while Ning Yi followed Xiao Yin to attend the morning court.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at the man's back as he left, feeling confused.

So he hasn't been attending court these days because someone is replacing him?

Isn't he afraid of being discovered?

In the Golden Palace, all the ministers had already arrived early. Usually, if Xiao Yun had not arrived, they would have said hello. Moreover, Xiao Yun was much late for the morning court today, almost at the time when the court was dismissed in the past. If it was in the past, there would have been ministers asking why His Majesty was so late. But at this moment, there was complete silence.

In the huge Golden Throne Hall, even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

"Your Majesty is here!"

As Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside, Xiao Yan's figure appeared in everyone's sight the next moment, and all the ministers knelt down.

"Long live my emperor."

Xiao Yun walked towards the dragon throne step by step with steady steps.

After he sat down, he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone is safe."

"Thank you, my emperor."

After everyone stood up, Eunuch Fu took a step forward and a shrill voice came out of his throat:

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

Those who could enter the Golden Palace were not stupid people. Although they might not know the whole story of clearing out the remnants of the previous dynasty, it was impossible for them to be completely unaware of such a big commotion.

When the emperor was angry, his power shook the whole world and all his ministers were terrified.

Since His Majesty didn't tell them, they couldn't ask or say anything and could only pretend not to know.

However, Xiao Yun's thundering methods finally shocked all the civil and military officials in the court, and no one dared to breathe.

Xiao Yun looked at the silent ministers and glanced at Liu Bojian seemingly unintentionally.

"Lord Liu, do you have anything to report?"

Liu Bojian was caught off guard when Xiao Yun called out his name. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know whether Xiao Yan knew his identity or Liu Yiyi's identity.

Ever since the incident in Yunyao Village three days ago, the prince has been missing since Xiao Ying wiped out all the contact points in various places.

Xiao Yan, this is so scary!

They had no information about Xiao Yan's plan to eliminate him before.

Logically speaking, Liu Yiyi was Xiao Ying's bedside companion in the palace, and Xiao Ying was also poisoned by a love poison, so it was impossible for her not to notice anything.

But... no news came out.

That could only mean that something went wrong with Liu Yiyi as well.

Otherwise, if they had received the news in advance, even half a day earlier, their army would not have been wiped out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be missing.

Liu Bojian had two guesses.

First, Liu Yiyi's identity might have been exposed long ago, but she is still fine now, which doesn't make sense. Otherwise, according to Xiao Yan's personality, if he knew that Liu Yiyi was a princess of the previous dynasty, he would definitely not treat her like this now. He heard that Xiao Yan had been favoring Liu Yiyi for the past three days.

The second is that Liu Yiyi wanted to monopolize power and betrayed everyone!

She is now pregnant with the dragon's seed, and Xiao Ying has been poisoned by a love poison, so he obeys her orders. The people of the previous dynasty are a threat to her. She will use Xiao Ying to get rid of them, and then when her prince is born, she will quietly get rid of Xiao Ying after a few years, and then she will help the little prince to ascend the throne and rule the country from behind the curtain.

Liu Yiyi is an ambitious woman and she is capable of doing such things.

Now that they are doomed, it will be difficult for them to make any more waves. If he escapes now, Xiao Yun will surely suspect him. He is now the legitimate son of Marquis Xuanping, who made great contributions in resisting the Northern Jue. This identity is relatively safe for him.

Moreover, compared to being hunted by Xiao Yan, he would rather follow Liu Yiyi. If her plan succeeds, he can also become a powerful official above everyone else...

"Lord Liu is sweating a lot, and seems very nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bojian lifted his robe, knelt down and replied:

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, ruling the world and ruling the four seas. You are the ruler of all people in the world, with a majestic and awe-inspiring presence. I am naturally nervous in front of Your Majesty."

Xiao Yan looked at the cold sweat that kept oozing out of him, curled the corners of his lips meaningfully, and said:

"I didn't know I was so terrible!"

Marquis Xuanping looked at his kneeling son and quickly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, my son is still young and was overwhelmed by your majesty's might and behaved inappropriately in front of the palace. I hope your majesty will not blame me."

Xiao Yan looked at Marquis Xuanping and said:

"I didn't do anything to him, but Marquis Xuanping is getting nervous! I've always heard that Marquis Xuanping dotes on his children, and today I see that it's true."

As he spoke, he looked at the kneeling Liu Bojian and said jokingly:

"Lord Liu, please stand up! If you kneel again, Marquis Xuanping will be furious with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After this little episode, Xiao Yan looked at the ministers who were still silent and said:

"Since you have nothing to report, please leave the court!"

After saying that, Xiao Yun paused for a moment, looked at Liu Bojian and said:

"By the way, after the court session, please come to my imperial study."

On the way to the imperial study, Liu Bojian's heart was pounding and he had a bad feeling.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Xiao Yan was sitting at the desk, concentrating on the documents in his hands. He looked up when he saw him come in.

Seeing that he was still sweating, she curled the corners of her red lips, showing a bit of gentleness.

"Why are you so nervous today, Lord Liu? Did you do something to offend me?"

When Liu Bojian heard this, he immediately knelt down and said in fear:

"I don't dare."

Xiao Yan stood up, walked over, helped him up personally, and said:

"Lord Liu is Yiyi's elder brother, and also my uncle. We are all family, so there is no need to do this."

Lin Zhaoyue was used to Xiao Yun's cold and aloof look, and when he suddenly became so humane, she didn't know why, she suddenly felt uneasy.
