Chapter 153
Duan Lingxue squeezed out from the stunned crowd, stood in front of the onlookers, pointed to Lin Qingyue and said, "How could her archery be so good? She must have cheated, that wine pot and that copper coin , must be re-examined!"

"presumptuous!"

Before Duan Yihong could stop him, the emperor gave a loud shout.

"Next, do you still suspect that I'm helping Princess Hanbi?"

The emperor was furious and buried millions of corpses, Duan Lingxue was watched coldly by the emperor, a chill shot up from her feet.

The jealousy dissipated in an instant, and the overwhelming sense of fear immediately hit my heart.

Without any hesitation, Duan Lingxue knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', her lips trembling for a long while, and she pieced together four words intermittently in a dry voice.

"Your Majesty, spare your life."

Duan Yihong looked at Duan Lingxue whose legs and feet were already weak from fright, and let out a long sigh helplessly.

It would be extremely stupid for Duan Lingxue to try to use the same trick twice on one person.

What's more, the other party is still the current emperor.

Originally, even if he lost, Duan Yihong would no longer play the emotional card with the emperor, no matter if he had sympathy or thought of the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, if he lost in front of so many people, the emperor would naturally comfort him.

But now, all of this was ruined by Duan Lingxue's words.

"Win is winning, and losing is losing. If winning or losing depends only on your mouth, then what's the point?"

Duan Lingxue offended Shengyan, although Duan Yihong wanted to help, but he was helpless, he could only step forward and beg: "Please forgive my daughter, please remember her young age."

The emperor looked at Duan Yihong and snorted coldly: "Young? General Duan's daughter is about the same age as Princess Hanbi. Princess Hanbi has a passion for serving the country. They are also general's daughters, but General Duan's daughter Because of temporary gains and losses, trying to turn right and wrong into black and white, if things go on like this in the long run, it will definitely lead to catastrophe, today I will teach her a good lesson, lest she will continue to act recklessly like this in the future!"

Before the emperor finished speaking, Duan Yihong's heart sank fiercely. He knew that Duan Lingxue would not escape punishment today, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Duan Lingxue managed to recover from her daze. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that the emperor wanted to punish her. Naturally, the punishment from the royal family was different from the punishment from the ordinary mansion. Duan Lingxue rushed to After touching his father, he begged with a choked voice: "Father! Father, save me! My daughter doesn't want to be punished!"

Duan Yihong looked at Lihua's tearful daughter in front of him with unbearable expression, sighed with unbearable expression, and peeled off Duan Lingxue's hand holding his arm from his arm little by little.

Duan Lingxue looked at her empty hands in disbelief. Before she could understand the meaning behind Duan Yihong's actions, the emperor's deep and majestic voice sounded behind her.

"Duan Lingxue committed the crime below, intending to turn right and wrong into black and white. She was pulled down and hit with [-] boards as a punishment."

The [-] big boards don't sound like much, but the punishment boards in the palace are different from the boards of ordinary people. If the [-] big boards go down, the skin will be torn to pieces.

Duan Lingxue was dragged down with a face full of panic, leaving Duan Yihong with red eyes, as if he had aged ten years instantly.

The competition was proposed by him, and he thought he would be able to avenge his shame and win applause, but now it was nothing.

Duan Lingxue was punished, and he lost face because of it.

He is a great general, but he lost to a little girl. This kind of shame will accompany him for the rest of his life and become a stain that can never be erased. This is what makes Duan Yihong collapse the most.

Everything he planned carefully, but he made wedding clothes for others, how could Duan Yihong not hate it in his heart, but now in front of all the officials and the emperor, he can't do anything, and he has to pretend to be indifferent. In front of Lin Qingyue, she congratulated against her will: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as young men, and Princess Hanbi has never let a man down. Strange."

Xiao Linze glanced at Duan Yihong and said: "Miss Duan has already received the punishment she deserved. The emperor she offended, General Duan is here to make false claims with me. It is more practical to seek the emperor's forgiveness. .”

Xiao Linze didn't have any contact with the court, but it didn't mean that he didn't know about the court.

He has lost his mother and concubine since he was a child. If he didn't have a master, he might not live to be ten years old in the palace.

Childhood experience made him understand better that people's hearts are separated by the belly, and the more compassionate the appearance of those people, the more sinister and terrifying the heart under the skin.

Although he has never had direct contact with General Duan, he has also learned from some intelligence that Duan Yihong is a narrow-minded man who must be punished and is a complete villain.

All the generals under him who are superior to others will be expelled from the barracks by him for various reasons, and what's more, they will directly put their lives on trumped-up charges.

This is also the reason why Lin Guifeng, who is also a general, is highly valued by the emperor, supported by the soldiers and loved by the common people, but he has never achieved anything.

For such a person, Xiao Linze wished he could get rid of him quickly, and naturally he would not give him any good looks. Duan Yihong's original intention of this move was to show his "excellent character" of being flexible and stretchable in front of the emperor. What he didn't expect was that Xiao Linze dared to be demolished him in front of all.

His body froze, and a monstrous hatred immediately surged into his heart.

He stared at the back of 'Lin Qingyue' slowly leaving with dark eyes, and he gritted his silver teeth.After a farce, the emperor personally handed over the lottery to Xiao Linze.

Facing the long-lost emperor and his biological father, Xiao Linze didn't feel too much emotion. He took the jade pendant carved with a mandarin duck pattern with both hands, but in his heart he thought of Lin Qingyue's happy smile when she got the jade pendant... …

It wasn't until 'Lin Qingyue' took the jade pendant with her own hands, and Duan Yihong left the crowd with a gloomy face, that everyone realized that the girl from the Lin family who looked like a weak willow had really won against General Duan.

All of a sudden, there were countless applause around.

Facing the applause coming from all directions, Xiao Linze walked through the crowd to Lin Guifeng without changing his face, and helped Lin Guifeng slowly leave the crowd.

The noisy sound gradually drifted away with their footsteps. Xiao Linze is not a person who is not good at words. He would choose to take Lin Guifeng away, and he also wanted to find a quieter place and find a chance to exchange with Lin Qingyue. That's all. Xiao Linze was still a little worried. If Lin Guifeng took the initiative to talk to him, how would he respond? Fortunately, Lin Guifeng was like him, and the two boring gourds were bound to collide without any sparks of language.

It wasn't until Xiao Linze helped Lin Guifeng into the resting tent that Lin Guifeng, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Yue'er, when did your archery become so superb that you even kept it from your father?"

Xiao Linze's forehead throbbed. Although he was inseparable from Lin Qingyue, if he imitated Lin Qingyue hastily, Lin Guifeng would inevitably not notice the strangeness. In the end, it was Lin Qingyue who was unlucky.

At this moment, Xiao Linze didn't realize at all that when he was thinking about problems now, he seldom put himself first.

While thinking about it, Xiao Linze raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced directly at Lin Guifeng, looked outside the tent and said, "I have a headache, go out to get some air." Then he walked out of the tent quickly, without giving Lin Guifeng a chance to stop him Xiao Linze, who rushed out of the tent, turned to the back of the tent and closed his eyes. At the same time, he forcibly changed bodies with Lin Qingyue, who had been poking and laughing secretly.
