Chapter 140: Someone From the Torture Chamber

"That is, even if His Majesty gives me my sister, that matter is non-negotiable?"

"No negotiation!"

Gu Lingshuang's attitude was very serious and resolute.

"Okay."

Lin Xing smiled.

"Sister, I was just teasing you...Okay, come on, smile."

"Hmph, I'll be pissed off by you sooner or later!"

Gu Lingshuang rolled her eyes at him. She knew very well that although Lin Xing was not serious, he actually expressed some affection for her, which made her feel very relieved.

But, when she mentioned this matter, her heart would inexplicably become complicated.

She also knew that Lin Xing would not really do such a thing, and believed that he would not force her, but the more she knew this, the more melancholy she felt.

"Xiao Linzi, don't mention this matter again in the future."

Gu Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll just think you're joking. I hope you'll always treat me as your sister. It's impossible for us to be together."

"Why?"

Lin Xing didn't think she was joking, and he knew she was going to take this opportunity to tell him about her inner struggles.

"I'm the concubine of the previous emperor... I'm destined to live alone for the rest of my life."

Sure enough!

This is the sorrow of women in feudal society.

What's more, it's the royal family?

Lin Xing naturally understood this truth and was about to speak.

"I know what you want to say, and you don't have to persuade me. This is something I can never go against."

Gu Lingshuang spoke first.

"The wedding night and candlelight mentioned today are jokes but not jokes. If I were a normal woman..."

"But this is impossible. I'm a member of the royal family in this life, and I'm a ghost of the royal family in death. There is absolutely no other way."

"So I understand...that is to say, if you want to marry again in this life, the only reasonable candidate is the current emperor."

Lin Xing instantly understood that the ancestral law of the Dayu royal family allowed sons to inherit their fathers' business.

In fact, this is understandable. The old emperor passed away, but there were many concubines who had never even met him.

"What do you mean? It's not like I don't know about His Majesty's situation!"

Gu Lingshuang frowned.

"I know about His Majesty's situation, but in the eyes of the court and the world, His Majesty is the real dragon emperor."

Lin Xing hurriedly explained, although he had just come up with a very bold idea.

How would the empress explain to the world?

According to the records of this space, there has never been an empress in the long history of tens of thousands of years.

"You..."

Gu Lingshuang looked at Lin Xing in surprise, and then thought, whether he knew the hidden truth or not, it would be fine to tell him, and it might be good for both of them.

"Some situations, you may not be very clear..."

Gu Lingshuang hesitated a little, and saw that Lin Xing was listening very seriously, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.

"The imperial family of Dayu adopted the system of burying concubines alive with the emperor. When the emperor died, all the concubines without children were buried alive with him, unless the old and new emperors granted amnesty."

"You also know my mission... According to the rules, I should have been buried alive with the emperor. The late emperor was afraid of criticism for doing so, so he left this matter to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty granted me amnesty, and the regent would naturally not object. He would rather Your Majesty be an unfaithful and unfilial monarch, leaving a bad impression on the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world."

"You should also know what happened next. That is, Your Majesty sent me to this eternal alley again on the grounds that I was not serving well."

As he said this, Gu Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"My identity... You should know it better now. Even if your majesty can't bear it, this fact cannot be changed even in the future."

"Moreover, I would rather live alone in the harem than let your majesty be criticized by the world for violating your virtue."

The reason is simple. Which woman in the harem is not the emperor's woman, not to mention Gu Lingshuang, who can be said to be a concubine of two dynasties.

Lin Xing understood her implication in a second. Even if the empress took power one day, she would not accept any gifts. The greatest gift is to let her pursue her own happiness.

A miserable woman who dedicated her whole youth to the royal family!

Lin Xing felt sad. He really felt sorry for this woman who looked strong on the outside, but who had suffered so much sarcasm and grievances for her loyalty.

When Su Yourong mentioned her senior sister, her words and deeds were also full of heartache.

"Sister, I understand your thoughts, and I don't know how to persuade you, but I still want to say one thing, don't worry about anything, or be optimistic, who can predict the future now?"

Lin Xing knew Gu Lingshuang's character very well, and there was no need to persuade her at the moment.

"Also, sister, don't worry, I will definitely respect you, this is what I really think, you are a first-class good woman, worthy of respect!"

"Stinky boy, your ability to make women happy, no matter what the situation is, is not lost at all!"

Gu Lingshuang rolled her eyes at Lin Xing, said some of her difficulties, and felt much more relaxed.

However, she was inexplicably a little sad, because her intention was not to let the two of them get too deeply involved.

So, whether it is useful or not, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain!

"I thought my sister was praising me, it was comfortable!"

Lin Xing chuckled.

"By the way, sister, in fact, we two are the same people who have fallen from the world!"

"How do you say this?"

Gu Lingshuang frowned, but she really didn't understand what Lin Xing was talking about.

"Anyway, I am also a eunuch. Under normal circumstances, this identity is not easy to break. Do I have to die alone in the palace?"

"That's the truth, but what do you want to express?"

Gu Lingshuang still didn't understand.

Lin Xing smiled: "So, even if my sister ends up alone in this palace, I won't still be a little eunuch."

"You can't go anywhere in the palace. If sister is lonely, I can go over and accompany you at any time... It's okay to drink tea and chat, admire the flowers and the moon, and recite poems!"

"whispering sound!"

Gu Lingshuang curled her lips in sudden realization.

"As long as you think about beautiful things, the whole palace is like your back garden, you can do whatever you want!"

By then, the empress will be our woman.

It should be about the same!

Lin Xing couldn't predict what the situation would be like, but if he couldn't get hold of the stunningly beautiful empress, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the time-travelers?

"Hey, sister, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Lin Xing just smiled. You can't brag about this kind of awesomeness.

Although Gu Lingshuang felt some yearning in her heart, she would not take Lin Xing's words seriously and regard them as his thoughtful words to comfort her.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Master Lin!"

Xiao Maozi is here.

"Then, I'll go back first."

"Well, okay."

Lin Xing nodded, probably because there was something he needed to handle.

Soon, Xiao Maozi came in.

"Master Lin, the little doorman from the storm room has come over and is now over there in the courtyard."

Xiaomenzi?

Lin Xing didn't know who it was, so he thought on second thought: "Is it the mean man who manages the violent room?"

Bao Shifu is the head eunuch of Bao Shi, but he belongs to Yongxiang. Lin Xing, the Yongxiang Order, is his immediate boss.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is wise!"

Xiao Maozi chuckled.

Lin Xing curled his lips, "I mean, Xiao Maozi, he is also a eunuch in charge after all. What a small disciple, can you keep a lower fucking profile?"

"Master Lin, I am very low-key outside, but in my heart, let alone this kid, even Huang Jing and Eunuch Huang, in front of you, they are just little Huangzi."

"Stop being afraid of flattering me."

Lin Xing waved his hand.

"Get out of here... let that little guy come over."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, get out of here, little one!"

Xiao Maozi smiled, then trotted away.
