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

Chapter 365: Previous Life (9) Return Her to Me

The southeast gate of the capital.

Two black Arabian horses pulled a gold-painted black wooden carriage, like a ferocious beast, speeding from the southeast gate towards the south of the Yangtze River at an astonishing speed.

The soldiers guarding the city behind him knelt on the ground, not daring to look up for fear of offending the distinguished person.

What the man just showed was the jade pendant that symbolized the queen.

The wheels rolled over the ground, making a dull sound and leaving obvious marks one after another. The carriage was visibly heavy, as if it was carrying not people but thousands of pounds of stones.

The driver was dressed in black and wearing a black hat. He stood tall and held the reins tightly.

It was the first time that Lin Zhaoyue saw Xiao Yan so anxious. Although his face remained expressionless, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and the palms of his hands holding the reins were rubbed raw.

The Arabian horse ran so fast that it was almost invisible.

When they arrived at the southeast gate, the guards guarding the city looked at several horses galloping towards them and were about to stop them. However, when they saw the man wearing a black and gold dragon robe, they immediately ran to the side and kowtowed in greeting.

"See Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty..."

In response to them, there were horse hooves that were so fast that only their shadows could be seen.

The scenery around him kept receding, the wind blew hard, the branches swayed, and there were also bursts of horse hooves sounds coming from far away. The man in the black hat looked back and saw a large group of people headed by Xiao Yan, followed by seven or eight men in black, chasing him.

The man in black cursed.

"It's coming damn fast!"

After cursing, he swung the whip and hit the horse's butt hard.

The horse felt pain, neighed, and ran faster.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at the man in black. He just glanced back, and although his face was covered by the hat, he could not see it clearly, but he had obviously recognized Xiao Yan's identity.

I recognized that he was not afraid at all, he was not afraid of power, he was not afraid of the emperor, he was a hero.

She actually hoped that he had a tougher life and better horse-riding skills so that Xiao Yan couldn't catch him.

She had never seen Xiao Yan so angry before.

But she didn’t know if it was Lin Zhaoyue’s illusion, but she felt that the figure of the man in black looked familiar.

The black man's horse was fast, but Xiao Ying's horse was even faster. What's more, Xiao Ying and his companions were traveling light, while the black-clad man's carriage was obviously loaded with heavy objects, and the wheels of the carriage were very heavy.

Suddenly, a forest appeared ahead. For some reason, the man in black ignored the wide pipe and chose the small path in the forest.

Xiao Yan looked at the path, and a crack finally appeared on his calm face.

Lin Zhaoyue was still feeling happy that the man had angered Xiao Yan, but the next moment she heard Xiao Yan roaring:

"Lin Qingchen, if she gets into any trouble again, I will kill your entire clan!"

The smile on Lin Zhaoyue's face froze immediately.

What did Xiao Yan just call him?

Lin Qingchen?

Her fourth brother?

Wasn’t her fourth brother already... How could he still be alive?

She saw him beheaded with her own eyes.

Lin Zhaoyue quickly floated over, and without even lifting the veil, she saw a jade pendant representing the descendants of the Lin family sticking out from the corner of his clothes.

The texture, carving and pattern of the jade are exactly the same as hers.

This is indeed the fourth brother.

Fourth brother is not dead, he is not dead!

If the fourth brother is still alive, does that mean her mother and other members of the Lin family are also alive?

Xiao Jingchen, Fourth Brother...

What exactly did Xiao Yan hide from her?

Lin Zhaoyue clenched her fists. Anger surged in her heart, but was overwhelmed by the joy that her loved ones were still alive.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess.

When she heard Xiao Yun's angry voice again and regained her senses, Lin Qingchen's carriage had already stopped at the edge of the cliff. If the horse rushed forward two more steps, it would fall off the cliff.

Seeing that he stopped, Xiao Yan also stopped.

If he was not Lin Zhaoyue's brother, the moment he saw him just now, the soft sword at his waist would have pierced his body.

Xiao Yun looked at the carriage that was less than five steps away from the cliff. He tightened his grip on the reins and stared at him with his dark eyes.

"Lin Qingchen, what on earth do you want to do?"

Seeing that he had seen through her identity, Lin Qingchen simply didn't hide it and directly lifted the bamboo hat on her face, her eyes red, and roared:

"What are you doing? Xiao Yan, you are really going too far! If I hadn't come to the capital, I probably wouldn't have been able to see her for the last time!"

The last one?

So the voice she heard before she died was that of her fourth brother?

Fourth Brother...

Although Fourth Brother was as uneducated as she was, he loved her very much.

Lin Zhaoyue's nose felt sour.

"What did you say when we were in Jiangnan? You said you would protect her and let her go to the cold palace to avoid being attacked. But! She died tragically in the cold palace. She was tortured to the point that there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body. Is this what you call protection?

Are you bullying our Lin family because we are far away in Jiangnan and because we have no man to back us up? "

Lin Qingchen used all his strength to say the last sentence, clenching his fists tightly, wishing he could beat Xiao Yan up right now.

Looking at Lin Qingchen's aggressive look, Ning Yi couldn't help but say:

"that is because……"

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand and interrupted Ning Yi.

Lin Zhaoyue watched Ning Yi swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and she was extremely anxious.

Why is that? Tell me!

And what about her family?

Why did you go to Jiangnan?

Lin Zhaoyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

But it was no use for her to be anxious now.

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Qingchen and said:

"Lin Qingchen, return her to me!"

How could Lin Qingchen give it to him? He said:

"Either you let me take her to Jiangnan to meet my father and mother, or I will jump off here with her today!"

How could he safely hand over Zhao Zhao's body to him again when Zhao Zhao, whom they had spoiled since childhood, died so tragically!

So what if he is an emperor? He can’t even protect Zhao Zhao.

He should have tried his best to stop them when he found out Zhao Zhao loved him. If Zhao Zhao hadn't married him, she would have been happy.

Xiao Yun's eyes were slightly cold.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Why don't you try to threaten His Majesty? If I can't take Zhao Zhao away today, I don't have to worry about my life. Anyway, I should have died a long time ago. I have lived a few more years and it is enough.

Besides, if I hadn’t arrived in time and taken Zhao Zhao’s body away, she would have been burned to ashes by now.”

The two looked at each other, and Lin Qingchen's eyes were full of determination.

Xiao Yan looked at him for a while and said:

"You can't let Chen'er not even see his mother's intact body!"

Lin Qingchen was stunned and didn't react.

"Who is Chen'er?"

"The child of me and Zhao Zhao, the child that Zhao Zhao was pregnant with back then."

Zhao Zhao was indeed pregnant with a child. When they found out, the whole family was overjoyed. He even designed and made a longevity lock himself, intending to give it to his nephew at his full moon banquet. However, an accident happened and the child was born prematurely in August and died.

Lin Qingchen said subconsciously:

"Isn't he dead? Xiao Yan, are you lying to me?"

Since Xiao Yan ascended the throne, no one dared to call him that for a long time.

The secret guards around him tightened their grip on the knife handles when they saw him calling their master by his name.

But that man was the master's brother-in-law, and without the master's order, they couldn't even bump into him.

"Do you think I have any need to lie to you?"

Xiao Yan really didn't want to lie to him.

After thinking for two breaths, Lin Qingchen returned Lin Zhaoyue's body to him.

Now that his sister is gone, he, as her brother, always has to help her look after her son.
