Chapter 692 A Step-by-Step Thrill 64
"Ajiu, your mother knows how filial you and Xiaojiu are. Just stay home and look after Hongxuan these days. Everything is fine here with your mother!" After the other palace servants left the room, Consort Yi patted Lin Jiu's hand with a serious expression and gave her these instructions.
This statement seems simple, but its deeper meaning is self-evident—to discourage them from going to the palace as much as possible.
Lin Jiu and Yin Tang were not slow-witted. Although they did not understand why, they knew that their mother would not do anything to harm them. Therefore, they nodded in understanding.
Could it be that a major upheaval is about to occur in the palace? Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes became increasingly deep and subtle.
"Yes, Mother..." Lin Jiu and Consort Yi exchanged a smile and replied firmly.
Seeing this, Consort Yi nodded in satisfaction, a barely perceptible smile appearing in her eyes.
She knew that her daughter-in-law was exceptionally intelligent and quick to understand, making communication with her as easy and comfortable as a fish in water.
For the next few days, Lin Jiu indeed stayed at home obediently, like a well-behaved cat, rarely stepping out of the mansion.
Even Yinzhen, who usually loved to wander around, seemed to have received some kind of hint and became unusually well-behaved, refusing to leave the house unless absolutely necessary.
On this bright and sunny morning, with a gentle breeze, Lin Jiu, having nothing to do, invited Yin Tang to play a few games of chess.
Of course, Lin Jiu chose to play Gomoku (Five in a Row).
After all, for Lin Jiu, chess was too complicated and tedious, and he found it annoying.
Go, on the other hand, requires racking one's brains and thinking hard, which is too mentally and physically exhausting.
In comparison, Gomoku is the simplest and easiest to play, making it the best choice for passing the time.
Just as Lin Jiu was fully focused on surrounding Yin Tang, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that He Yuzhu, who was usually calm and composed, was now looking flustered and his face was full of fear.
Upon hearing this, Yin Tang jumped up. The fact that Li Dequan had called him so urgently meant that something must have really happened, and it was about his father, the Emperor. Thinking of this, Yin Tang felt anxious.
"A-Jiu, stay here in the manor. I'm going to the palace first and I'll be back soon... Don't worry!" Yin-Tang said, and then hugged Lin Jiu at the end.
Yinzhen frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "This He Yuzhu is getting more and more unruly!"
His face darkened, and he asked in a serious tone, "What exactly is causing this panic?"
If there isn't a legitimate reason, Yinzhen will definitely teach this guy a lesson!
"Your Highness...Your Majesty, something has happened in the palace. Eunuch Li sent word that you must come to the palace as soon as possible!" He Yuzhu said in a trembling voice under the increasingly dangerous gaze of Yinzhen.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.
Even the usually composed and steady Li Dequan sent a message in such a hurry, so the situation must be very serious.
The reason that made Li Dequan so anxious was mostly related to his father, the Emperor.
Upon realizing this, Yinzhen could no longer sit still. He stood up abruptly, anxiously preparing to head to the palace immediately.
"A-Jiu, don't worry, stay here in the manor. I'll be back as soon as possible... Don't worry too much!" Yin-Tang comforted Lin Jiu while giving her a gentle hug.
Lin Jiu noticed Yin Tang's pale lips and paused for a moment. Was he comforting her or her? She was fine, but what about him? He wouldn't faint on the street, would he?
