Chapter 821: Obedience, emotion before reason and law

Lin Chujiu slept for a day and a night, and it was already midnight when she woke up. After eating hastily, she summoned the guards to inquire about Xiao Tianyao’s situation.

“Answering back wangfei, wangye led the troops to the city gate, but there is no news yet.” The little soldier knows limited things, and he doesn’t know the situation on the front line, so he can say even less.

“Did wangye leave a message?” After leaving her alone in the army, he should have left her a message so that she knows what to do next, right?

“This… wangye didn’t leave a message for you.” The little soldier raised his head slowly and gave Lin Chujiu an uneasy look.

Lin Chujiu felt a bit heavy, but she already knew what kind of virtue Xiao Tianyao has. So she didn’t expect much at first: “I know, you go.”

Without any explanation, she can only stay in the army and can’t go anywhere. After all, the situation outside was unknown, and no one knows what will happen.

“Yes.” The little soldier didn’t dare to stay for a moment and ran out in a hurry. But not long after he left, the little soldier ran in again: “Wangfei, there is a letter from you, sent from the palace.”

The two armies have not officially started the war, but even if the war officially started, it was not difficult for the Emperor to send a letter to Lin Chujiu.

“Bring it here.” Lin Chujiu took the letter, unfolded it, and couldn’t help laughing when she saw the content on it: “The Emperor looks down on me too much.” It was ridiculous to threaten her with the Meng family and the Lin family.

She was forced out of the city at that time, and Xiao Tianyao was almost finished. According to the importance she attaches to the Meng family, how could she do nothing?

As soon as she settled down, she sent a secret message to the Meng family. She had already settled the Meng family. The Emperor couldn’t find the Meng family in a short time. Why threaten her?

As for the Lin family?

The Lin family has never cared about her life and death, why should she care about the life and death of the Lin family?

“Is the messenger still there?” Lin Chujiu put away the letter, smiling innocently.

“Yes, he said he will wait for your reply, wangfei.” Although the little soldier didn’t know what was written in the letter, he could guess that there was nothing good about it.

Reply?” Lin Chujiu laughed again.

How do you reply to this letter?

No matter what she says, she was wrong.

Can she tell the Emperor that she has long known that the Meng family was not in the capital?

If she doesn’t care about the life of the Lin family, she would be an unfilial daughter. Outsiders will not care about the grievances between her and the Lin family, and the Emperor will not care about these. But as long as she writes back, the Emperor will have a reason to attack Prince Xiao.

If she cares, so what if she cares?

Although she was Princess Xiao, she was just Princess Xiao who has no support from her natal family, and she was almost like a subordinate of Prince Xiao. If Prince Xiao didn’t care so much about her, she would be no different from a bird in a cage.

“The Emperor is fascinating.” The enemy was in front of him, he didn’t think about how to retreat from the enemy, but he turned his idea on her, a woman. Facing the provocations of his courtiers, the dignified Emperor dared not face the enemy uprightly. He only thought about these crooked ways. She doesn’t know how he became an emperor.

Lin Chujiu shook her head, folded the letter according to the original traces, put it back into the envelope, and handed it to the little soldier: “Send this letter to wangye, and tell the people in the palace that when you get married, as a wife you should obey your husband. Wangye’s decision is my decision.” The battle was between them, but the Emperor was pulling her in, keep dreaming!

“Yes.” The little soldier took the letter again and stepped back respectfully.

The messenger in the palace got the message from Lin Chujiu, he knew that this was not what the emperor wanted. He wanted to say something more, but the Jinwuwei soldier ignored him. He turned around and left.

The messenger waited for a long time at the gate of the barracks, but he couldn’t find anyone who could deliver the message for him, so he had to resign himself to his fate and return to the palace.

Coming and going, even if he rode a fast horse, he have to wait until dawn to reach the palace. To let the Emperor receive the news as soon as possible, the messenger used a special method to pass the news back.

Similarly, for Xiao Tianyao to receive the letter as soon as possible, the Jinwuwei Soldier also used a dedicated channel for sending messages. There was still an hour before dawn, Xiao Tianyao received the letter, and of course, also received Lin Chujiu’s words.

“When you get married, you have to obey your husband.” Xiao Tianyao chewed these words carefully, thinking of Lin Chujiu’s expression when he said this. His cold face softened a little, and he said in a low voice: “When did you obey benwang after marriage? That’s not right, when you need benwang as a shield, you will obediently obey your husband.”

Of course, complaints were complaints, but Xiao Tianyao accepted his fate and took over the matter.

“Come here!” Xiao Tianyao casually threw the letter on the table and did not put it away carefully.

The wording in the letter was very meticulous. There seemed nothing wrong with it on the surface. But the words on the letter were not in the handwriting of the emperor, but it was written by ordinary people, which has no value at all.

“Go, let someone write a letter to Prime Minister Lin, asking him if his daughter and son-in-law are wronged. How would he respond?” The Emperor pressed Lin Chujiu with filial piety, and so he asked Prime Minister Lin with affection.

Between emotion, reason, and law, if emotion was before reason and law it can be seen that people in the world value emotion more than reason and law. Otherwise, there will be no mutual protection of the same clan, sons will not sue their fathers, and women will not sue their husbands.

When he was wronged, when Lin Chujiu had to hide in the Shadow Moon Building for asylum, Prime Minister Lin, the father or the father-in-law, didn’t help but instead made things worse. Now that he wanted to clear up his grievances, shouldn’t his father-in-law help?

The same wording was used carefully. There was no dissatisfaction in the words, it was just the notes of ordinary soldiers, and it was also questioning Prime Minister Lin in the tone of a bystander, which was similar to the Emperor’s letter to Lin Chujiu.

After Xiao Tianyao confirmed that it was correct, he asked someone to send the letter to the Emperor.

By the time the letter was delivered, the Jinwuwei Army had finished their breakfast, lined up their teams, and were ready to attack at any time. Xiao Tianyao did not delay this time, as soon as the time came, he led his troops to the gate of the city and ordered his lieutenants to call for formation.

After a day and a night, the armed force at the gate of the city has increased dozens of times, it can be said that it was armed from head to toe. It was not beneficial for Xiao Tianyao to start a war at this time, but Xiao Tianyao did not choose to back down. The generals guarding the city do not understand Xiao Tianyao. However, with enough time to prepare, they also gained confidence in facing the Jinwuwei Army.

Under the city gate, the vice-general of the Jinwuwei Army took out his injustice letter and began to read. But the generals guarding the city did not wait for the Jinwuwei Army to finish reading, and shouted: “You rebellious soldiers and thieves, even if you scream today, it won’t change the fact that you are traitors.”

“Xiao Wangye suffered an injustice. Even with a large army in his hand, he still refused to attack the city. But you keep saying that wangye is a traitor and a thief. Why don’t you open the city gate and let our wangye confront the civil and military officials in the palace? Why don’t you open the city gate, then let the Ministry of Household count the treasury and the property confiscated from Xiao Wangfu in public? Come on, why don’t you dare?”

The sentence “Why don’t you dare?” smashed at the generals defending the city, and the morale of the Jinwuwei Army was also boosted by these words.

Their prince was innocent, why don’t these people dare to confront them in public? Why don’t they dare to count those treasures in public?
