Linxiao's (pov)
When I saw my father in front of me sitting patiently all the things around me is normal however, The things inside me are not normal, I felt lots of different feelings at the same time, it felt like….some..thing..different which I can't describe just like something was hidden inside me wants to come out. my senses felt like it was not favourable.
However, when my mind was not right, everything was messed up. Then I felt warm hands touch my shoulders which calm my tensed muscles and my boiling anger.
Then again I saw a father who was seated at his throne. He looked at me in hesitation.
What he had said, I can see that he regretted saying it. He didn't want to say anything like that but he was emperor and had to maintain his appearances so he did not let it be seen to others in his face that he regretted.
So, I did not further explain and say anything because it felt like all my efforts would go in vain.
When No one is ready to believe me.
...….!!!
However, Seeing Linxiao like that, Lin Yuzhang felt hurt but he still spoke harshly.
"You….go kneel down in front of the ancestor hall and pray for forgiveness...from them…for your deed," Lin Yuzhang said.
He did not believe what Linxiao had said; he thought that she was lying to avoid the punishment.
In the era of ancient or modern, suicide is always considered as sin….
After saying that he stood from his throne and passed beside Lin Feng and Linxiao.
No one said anything when the emperor declared the punishment and no one here could question his arrangement.
After that, he went towards his room and Lin Feng was standing there and saw his little sister standstill.
In a few moments, a middle-aged man who led them to the emperor at the door before came to their side and announced something.
"Empress dowager is coming back in two days and, his Majesty wants you there at that time", he said to Linxiao.
Linxiao, who was still in a daze, looked at the man in front of her and said "I will be there".
Linxiao knew that the Empress dowager adored her; she was the first princess and daughter of the favoured consort of emperor and whom empress dowager also favoured then how can Linxiao not be favoured by Empress dowager.
But the first problem is that Linxiao had to kneel in front of the ancestor hall to beg for forgiveness before the Empress dowager would come.
Linxiao did not say anything about Punishment which Emperor Lin Yuzhang had given to her, because she thinks it was not necessary to say when no one believes her but she took this as an opportunity to ask for forgiveness….from ancestors that she was acting as host but she was not her, at least she can say this truth to them when she can't say to anyone.
Thinking that all Linxiao starts to go outside, however, Lin Feng stopped her.
Lin Feng, who was beside Linxiao, heard all that she said about being pushed by someone. He only stared at her at that time, not able to say anything.
But when he saw Linxiao start to go he stopped her.
"You say someone pushed you…. If it is true then why are you going to ancestor hall?" he asked Linxiao, who halted in the middle hearing him.
Elder brother, what I said was true...however, no one believed me then what I could do brother… if not going to the ancestor's hall" said Linxiao.
It is true that Linxiao never did or try to take her life but when she first saw she also think that the host took her life, however, when she was thinking other day and remembering what was happening around her she finds in her memories that someone had indeed pushed her and she did not know how to float so she can't able to come out of the river.
But when Linxiao first see, she also thinks that the host did all this because she can not able to take this….No…, indeed host run away from the palace when she finds that Mo Yufan had married but when she was in front of the river it is not because of Mo yufan but there were other reasons, however, someone came and pushed her.
Linxiao thought that she could tell him but she couldn't….
First, she had to find out why the host was there and what was her reasons to going there then. she could find the person behind all this scram and prove her innocence to her father that did not commit the sin which he was saying, then she will able to see indistinguishable affection, care and pride in his eyes for her.
Thought this, she did not explain to Lin Feng and went outside from the Imperial Palace.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng wanted to ask something from Linxiao before lost all the colours in his face and just as Linxiao went outside he clenched his fist tightly and also came out from there.
In Lin Feng courtyard, he looked at the man in front of him and said, "how dare! they! Who wants to hurt my little sister?" Find out about this", `Lin Feng said to his men.
The only person who believes her was Lin Feng and how could he not believe when he got the information from an unknown source that someone had tried to kill his little sister and anger rose in his veins and at that time he came outside of his courtyard .when he saw Linxiao he was angry on her that why didn't she say anything to him but hearing her in Imperial palace, he confirms that someone indeed tries to kill his sister and he confronts Linxiao but she still did not say anything.
He felt powerless and incompetent that he was not able to save his sister from that attack.
