In the Zetian Hall, a group of 12 maids were lighting the Haechi palace lanterns one after another, holding long-lasting candles.
The candlelight reflected on the white jade floor, like twinkling fiery red stars, in the late autumn evening breeze.
As the candle passed by, the candle began to sway.
A maid couldn't help sneezing and whispered: "The weather is getting colder."
The maids whispered a few words and then left the main hall of Zetian Hall, leaving only the bright moonlight in the sky shining on the floor tiles of the hall.
"Hua Hua" The evening breeze blew her dark purple cloak.
Qin Yin frowned and walked quickly on the corridor of the palace.
The maids behind her were almost unable to catch up and said: "Your Highness, please slow down."
But Qin Yin's speed was not slow but fast.
She jumped up and stepped on the water of the lotus pond in the water pavilion.
A ripple spread out.
The beautiful princess had already landed on the other side of the water pavilion, her skin as white as snow.
There was a faint golden light on the surface, and the God-binding martial soul was about to come out.
Several temple warriors hurriedly stopped it and said: "Your Highness Yin, what are you doing?"
"I want to see my father."
"Your Majesty has gone to bed, and you have given orders that no one should disturb you."
"Then I want to see him too."
Qin Yin raised her beautiful eyebrows, with charming pride flying on her beautiful face, and insisted: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for taking action."
The guards looked helpless.
At this moment, Qin Jin's voice came from the room: "Let Xiao Yin come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Qin Yin stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to see Qin Jin holding a volume and reading under the candlelight.
His face was full of fatigue.
Even under the candlelight, the 47-year-old emperor was already young.
His hair was turning gray.
Qin Yin felt a pain in her heart and called out: "Daddy" She didn't call her father.
Qin Jin couldn't help but laugh, raised his head and looked at his daughter, and said, "You haven't called me that for a long time.
I thought at the beginning, I wanted you to change your name to father, but it took me a long time to teach you."
Qin Yin's eyes were red, she walked forward and knelt down gently in front of the desk.
The girl's hair fell down along her shoulders and fell on the file on the desk.
She looked at her father, and suddenly she didn't know where to speak. .
"Are you here to plead for Lin Muyu?"
Qin Jin asked.
"Um."
Qin Yin nodded and said: "Dad, Lin Muyu is a very simple and persistent person.
I can almost guess that he will not sit idly by when he sees Ying Ji being humiliated.
He has that kind of personality.
This You can’t blame him when he led someone to smash up the nursing hall.
Just like Master Leihong said, the nursing hall has lost its humanity, right?”
Qin Jin looked at his daughter with soft eyes and said: "I know, I know how come my father doesn't understand what kind of person Lin Muyu is?
But there should be a limit to hatred, but as a royal guard, he personally leads people Smashing up the nursing home and blatantly disrupting the Imperial Army’s deployment would have been beheaded in public by anyone else.”
"But Dad," Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said with persistence in her beautiful eyes, "Ayu is my savior.
Without him, my daughter would have died of poisoning in Xunlong Forest.
Dad should be extra kind to him in this regard."
Qin Jin's eyes became dim and said: "Xiao Yin, you don't understand many things at all, you are still young."
"Dad, tell me if there is anything I don't understand."

"You are not in the main hall today, so you will not know the precise words of Shenhou and Shangshu Ling."
Qin Jin sighed: "Half of our Great Qin Empire was conquered by Xiang Wentian back then.
In the empire Xiang Wentian is a god in the army.
The status is far superior to that of the emperor like me, Xiaoyin.
Do you know that the commanders of the four legions deployed by the empire in the Lingnan region have not attended the annual military reward meeting for three full years?
Any reply."
Qin Yin was stunned: "Dad is saying that the commanders of Lingnan are rebellious."
"I don't know about this."
Qin Jin squinted his eyes and said, "Three of the commanders are all Zeng Yifan's cronies, but the other commander is Fan Kai, the veteran left by the late emperor.
If even he has turned against him, , I am afraid that Lan Yancheng’s control over the entire world will change, so I suspect that someone in the Qinling area intercepted the letter sent by Lan Yancheng.”
Qin Yin bit her red lips and said, "Dad, why don't you send someone to Lingnan to have a look?"
"No."
Qin Jin breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the seat behind him, and said: "Zeng Yifan went to the table this morning to explain that several Lingnan legions were at war with the barbarians in the southern border, so communication was inconvenient and they had been fighting for years.
Those who delivered feather letters The birds were all shot by the southern barbarian tribes, so the feather letter could not be delivered to the commanders.
However, Zeng Yifan's list also contained a letter of allegiance, which was a joint letter signed by the four commanders.
Their loyalty to the empire remained unchanged. " Qin Yin looked at her father with her beautiful eyes and said, "Dad, although the Lord Shen is powerful and powerful in the imperial army, in recent years, I should be able to see that Zeng Yifan is no longer the Zeng Yifan he was ten years ago.
Fan, he has changed too much, he has become more and more arrogant, and he even doesn’t even see you as an emperor in his eyes, so why not?”
She blinked her eyes and said, "Secretly order Brother Qin Lei, Commander Feng Jixing and others to find an opportunity to dismantle the military power of the Shenhou Mansion in Lanyan City."
"How to disintegrate" Qin Jin sighed, looked at his daughter dotingly, and said: "The influence of the Shenhou Mansion in the imperial army has been deeply rooted.
As long as Zeng Yifan doesn't have any rebellious intentions, that's fine.
Besides, the Qin Empire has ruled the world for thousands of years. , who has served as nearly a hundred great emperors, the blood of the Qin family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and just having the surname Zeng Yifan is enough to prevent him from ascending to the throne. " "But but," Qin Yin bit her red lips and said, "How should we deal with ourselves in the future if we blindly allow Zeng Yifan's power to grow?"
"Don't worry" Qin Jin said: "At least the two major military powers, the Forbidden Army and the Royal Forest Army, are still in the hands of our own people.
Moreover, I also secretly met with the vassals of Cangnan Province and the northern provinces, including Canglan Gong and Muyungong.
If the Grand Duke sits in the north, there will be no chaos in the world.
By the way, Xiaoyin, you haven’t seen your grandpa for a long time, haven’t you?"
"Grandpa," Qin Yin couldn't help but smile: "He is busy with official duties.
It's been a long time since he came to Lanyan City to see me."
Qin Jin couldn't help but smile: "In a few days, let Commander Feng personally lead the imperial army to escort you to Muyu City to meet your grandpa.
Muyu City is where your mother grew up.
You should have gone to see it a long time ago."
"Okay."
Qin Yin nodded, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Dad, can't we really release Ayu from the Tongtian Tower early?
He may be able to hold on in one or two days.
If it takes longer, he He will definitely die in the Tower of Babel.”
"Really not."
Qin Jin shook his head and sighed: "If I release Lin Muyu early, Zeng Yifan and Luo Xing will definitely put pressure on me, and maybe they will be able to find a reason to cause trouble."
"Okay then, can I go to Babel Tower to see Ayu?"
Qin Jin's tone immediately became stern: "You are not allowed to go to the Tower of Babel.
It is a forbidden area.
Lin Muyu can die there, but you can't.
Xiaoyin, don't forget that you are the heir of the family and your status is different."
Qin Yin's eyes were red, filled with tears.
She looked at her father faintly, stood up and made a lady's salute, turned around and left.
When she came to the door a few meters away, she suddenly stood still and said in a soft voice. : "Dad, if Lin Muyu dies in the Tower of Babel, my daughter will never forgive you."
"Squeak" The door opened and Qin Yin drifted away.

Qin Jin stared blankly at the empty door.
The cold wind made him shiver uncontrollably.
It was getting colder and colder.
He groaned, feeling something else in his heart.
He felt so grateful for having such an excellent daughter.
He is proud, but worried about her.
Qin Yin is so kind-hearted that she may not be suitable to be the heir of the family.
What she can do is to handle the relationship between the three famous cities of Qihai City, Muyu City and Lanyan City.
Muyu City, one of the seven famous cities in the empire, is guarded by Qin Yin's mother, Empress Jingde's father, Su Muyun.
Muyu City has strong soldiers and horses, with more than 200,000 soldiers.
Qihai City, one of the seven famous cities in the empire, is guarded by Tang Xiaoxi's grandfather Tang Lan.
Its military strength is not inferior to that of Muyu City, and the Qihai Tangmen has long had deep roots in Qihai City.
This is why Qin Jin asked Qin Yin to work with him since he was a child.
The biggest reason for the close relationship between Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin is that perhaps the relationship between Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi can maintain the close connection between Lanyan City and Muyu City.
After thinking for a long time, the late emperor stood up, rolled up the curtain and went to rest.
Lin Muyu had almost no sleep that night.
He had been on guard for the enemy that might come at any time, but no one would come to harm him after the assassin, so he practiced the method of forging dragon bone fragments again and again, all night long.
Even after several seventy-two weeks passed, the strength of fighting spirit also increased a lot.
When a beam of dawn shone on the wall, he knew it was dawn.
After eating some solid food, he fell asleep with his sword in his arms.
Repeat this, sleeping during the day and resting at night.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no more sneak attack, but there was a problem that bothered him.
The corpse and the corpses of several stone apes in front of him already exuded a faint smell.
If they were left like this, they would probably rot quickly. , when a plague or something happens, it will only harm itself.
After thinking about it, these corpses must be disposed of.
He reached out and grabbed the assassin's leg, carrying him step by step towards the stairs.
The assassin was already dead, his head banged on the stone steps, and he probably didn't feel any pain anymore.
The spiritual pulse technique was released, and the spiritual sense entered the second floor.
No enemies were found, so he stepped directly to the second floor, but the scene in front of him shocked Lin Muyu.
The second floor was actually full of bones, piles of them.
The bones were scattered there.
Needless to say, the people who were imprisoned in the Tower of Babel were not killed immediately.
Many people disposed of the corpses here like him, and in the end he became one of the corpses.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyu couldn't help but shudder, and said to herself: "Sora Aoi, Yui Hatano, Anri Okita and other teachers above, please protect me from dying here":
