"Your Majesty, the concubine saw General Nangong and Lily Ji talking together, and vaguely mentioned something secret at home......

Concubine Li's face was pale, but her thoughts were very clear.

Secret passages at home?

Lin Jue glanced at her, didn't she just say that they were far away, and the conversation between the two didn't be heard clearly? And now there is a secret passage in the house that suddenly pops up? It seems that the only purpose of the other party in this play is to put Nangong Yiyu to death......

"It's not strange to build a secret path at home for self-defense, if you slander the general here, Sister Lifei, do you know the consequences?"

Empress Yang spoke at the right time.

It looked like he was speaking for Nangong Yi, but in fact, he repeated the secret passage in Nangong Yi's house.

Some people who didn't hear Concubine Li's words clearly just now understood everything in their hearts after Empress Yang's emphasis. Is there a secret passage in the General's Mansion? Does that mean anything......

In the face of Concubine Li's words, Nangong Yi stood expressionless the whole time, without wanting to argue for herself at all, but Lin Jue couldn't stand it, she just wanted to stand up and say a few words for Nangong Yi, but was stopped by the contractor who had been standing next to her.

Why are you pulling me? , Lin Jue glared at him.

"If I don't pull you, do I want to see you stand up and be a target?" , the contractor whispered in her ear.

"This Concubine Li is obviously talking nonsense, and her words are full of loopholes and ......", she really can't stand it.

"Don't forget that your current identity is the princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom."

The contractor reminded.

The foreign princess stood up for the general, if it was in normal times, this might be regarded as a good thing, but now, Lin Jue's action will only make the people present more convinced that Nangong Yi is illicit with a foreign country. After all, after the killing of those assassins just now, none of the surviving ministers in the palace supported Nangong Yi.

Being reminded by him like this, Lin Jue instantly came back to his senses.

Yes, how did she forget that her current identity is Princess Vika of the Rakshasa Kingdom, not the second lady of the Lin Taibu family, Nangong Yi's fiancée.

Realizing this, this made Lin Jue inexplicably depressed, and he felt powerless like never before. watched Nangong Yi being splashed with sewage, but she could only watch it, and she couldn't help at all.

"It's common to have a secret way at home, but what Sister Lifei said is a little unkind, right?"

Empress Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, and her delicate face was full of suspicion.

Emperor Zhaoyang seemed to be a little satisfied with her performance today, of course, all the people who protected Nangong Yi, he would think it was not bad, so he looked back at Empress Yang, and there was a rare expression of tenderness in his eyes.

"Niangniang is right, it's really not surprising that there is a secret passage at home, but if you want to do something else through the secret passage, then it's another matter." , Li Ting, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, stood up, "The so-called people are good at dying, what the assassin said to General Nangong before he died just now is really a little suspicious......"

Civil officials have always had a tradition of risking death to speak out, and Li Ting is considered a civil official, and he usually does not have any side lines in the court, so he can be described as an upright person. And what Li Ting said was also based on facts, impartial, and very reasonable, so as soon as his voice fell, many ministers stood up to make peace.

The ministers in the court all said so, although Queen Yang is the master of the harem, she is also a woman in the harem, and women are not allowed to interfere in politics, so she closed her mouth a little depressed. Such an expression was taken into the eyes of Emperor Zhaoyang, and the good impression of Empress Yang in his heart increased a few points.

"How can you believe the words of the wicked?"

The Emperor frowned.

This group of waste firewood, it's just a big deal to watch the excitement, I don't know what to say!

Emperor Zhaoyang's words naturally attracted a remark from the ministers in the palace, and everyone quoted scriptures, listed many precedents, and repeated Concubine Li's words again, and finally came to the conclusion: If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, General Nangong has a heavy army and has to guard against it. It's better to plan ahead than to make amends.

When everyone said this call, Nangong Yi stood on the hall.

The Emperor was surprised not to ask for his opinion, and he did not come out to defend himself.

Lin Jue couldn't laugh or cry.

What did he want to do with this person, and now he didn't even bother to stand up and say a few words for himself?

Although justifying may not necessarily save the situation, if he does not defend, it will only make those ministers gain an inch and make the situation even more unfavorable to Nangong Yi.

"Nangong Aiqing, don't you have anything to say?"

Everyone talked about it, and quoted scriptures, Emperor Zhaoyang had no choice but to kick the ball to Nangong Yi's side. He didn't want to push Nangong Yi to the forefront, but this group of people is really too powerful, in this case, if he still blindly protects Nangong Yi, he will lose people's hearts. At present, although Daye is strong, it is not strong enough to need civilian officials and military generals.

"There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Weichen has nothing to say, the merits are all up to Your Majesty's decision."

Nangong Yi bowed respectfully towards the emperor, and then lightly squeezed out a few words that were completely meaningless, saying it was equivalent to not saying it!

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Zhaoyang secretly cursed in his heart, this is really his own birth! He was just about to kick the ball over, and this bastard immediately kicked the ball back to him!

If he wants to decide, then he has to explain two sentences! How does this make him decide?

"Actually, it's very simple for General Nangong to prove his innocence, wouldn't it be good to let the guards search the general's mansion?"

It was proposed.

"That's too much, isn't it?!"

Lin Jue couldn't stand it at all.

The dignified General's Mansion, how could these people search casually? After searching like this, will Nangong Yi still have prestige in the army in the future? Without prestige, how can you suppress those soldiers?!

"If you only need to prove your innocence based on a sentence or two from an inconsequential person, then I now say that Lord Li, you have formed a party for personal gain, intending to rebel, do you also want Your Majesty to send someone to search your house to prove your innocence?"

Lin Jue finally couldn't help it, ignored the repeated reminders of the contractor next to him, and stood up.

She knew that she was too reckless this time, but if she watched Nangong Yi being besieged and bullied, she really couldn't do it.

However, the quick tongue of the moment always does not end well.

A foreign princess who spoke disrespectfully to the ministers of the court, Lin Jue soon became a new target besieged by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the relationship between General Nangong and Princess Vika is very close......"

Someone said with a playful face.

What he meant by this was more than just the love between men and women. Princess Vika represents the Rakshasa country, and Nangong Yi is friendly with the princess of the Rakshasa country, does that mean that he is also good friends with the Rakshasa country?

"The princess is innocent, she doesn't know the world, but she saw that the road was uneven, she stood up and said a few words, you are all seven-foot men with Wen Taowu strategy, if the affairs of the court are all determined by chasing the wind and catching shadows, it is not as good as the women in the boudoir of the back house......"

Nangong Yi glanced around and spoke lightly.

His gaze didn't fall on Lin Jue's side, but Lin Jue knew that his words were not for himself, but for her.

The contract husband was watching the excitement next to him and wanted to laugh, these old antiques, when they heard Nangong Yi say that they were not even as good as the women in the back house, they must be angry. But Nangong Yi is strong in martial arts and has heavy soldiers, no matter how unhappy they are in their hearts, they can't do anything with him, they can only be quick with their tongues for a while.

But there was one thing he still didn't understand, could it be that Vika had been planning so carefully for so long, and that's all there was to it?

"Your Majesty, General Nangong's behavior is very suspicious, please ask Your Majesty to escort the general's palace to search ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the assassin's words before his death just now were very strange, and the ministers also considered His Majesty's safety......"

"I beg Your Majesty to search the General's Mansion—"

In an instant, all the ministers knelt in the main hall one after another, begging the emperor to send someone to search the general's mansion, which meant that if they did not search, they would die a clear will.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is loyal, his heart can learn from the sun and the moon, Your Majesty must not listen to the slander of traitors!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to search the General's Mansion, the expression on Nangong Yi's face changed.

In fact, as long as he is a normal person, he will definitely be angry when someone wants to search his home for no reason, but this was originally a normal change in his expression, but in the eyes of everyone in the temple, it has become a manifestation of his lack of heart as a thief.

"Is it the sun and the moon, or is it bottomless, all this, let's wait until the general's mansion is searched, right?"

Li Ting smiled.

Lin Jue's heart sank.

This Li Ting, on the surface, seems to be a centrist, but judging from his performance today, he must also belong to a certain prince, as for which one it is, Lin Jue has no heart to care about now.

The other party has been trying to force Emperor Zhaoyang to order a search of the General's Mansion since just now, such an act cannot be a whim, and Lin Jue definitely doesn't believe that the other party is just because of the words of the woman in white before she died, they are definitely designed!

But the general's mansion is heavily guarded, and there must be stolen goods, how can these people go freely under Nangong Yi's nose?

Vika!

Lin Jue pinched herself fiercely, God, how could she forget this person.

Others can't, but Vika can.

She pretended to be Lin Jue, not only successfully entered the General's Mansion, but also won Nangong Yi's trust, as Nangong Yi's "fiancée", she can act freely in the General's Mansion, and frame the candidate, except for her, Lin Jue wants to be a better person.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue turned back to the contractor and asked, "What about Vika?" You are framed for this, without her, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, right? ”

She is now facing the contract husband is completely broken and broken, anyway, the other party is like a fox, what to say, she doesn't bother to beat around the bush. Anyway, if you don't want to tell her, the contractor won't say a word.

"I don't know where she is."

The contractor was a little depressed.

Why did he explain it two hundred times, but Lin Jue just didn't believe it, he was not Vika's accomplice, and Vika's plan had nothing to do with him.

Lin Jue had already been accustomed to his answer, so he didn't care about it, and continued to focus on the movements in the hall.

The ministers' "forcing each other to death", Emperor Zhaoyang was a little shaken.

Since ancient times, the incumbent has been the authority of his own authority. And whether it is a person who wants to rebel or an assassin who comes to assassinate, what he does is a challenge to the imperial power, and the emperor has supreme authority, how can the imperial power allow these people to ignore it? So since ancient times, those who have violated the emperor's bottom line have not ended well.

The emperor was originally on Nangong Yi's side, but he couldn't withstand the repeated bombardment of the ministers. The Heavenly Family has always been suspicious, Nangong Yi is his most beloved son, he can give him the throne without reservation, but he can't allow him to have half a sign of rebellion in his heart.

Although he had already made up his mind in his heart, the emperor still stood on Nangong Yi's side a little more, so he looked at everyone and said, "If the search is fruitless, what should Zhong Aiqing do?" ”

He couldn't let Nangong Yi suffer such treatment in vain. Therefore, the emperor's mentality is contradictory, on the one hand, he is suspicious of Nangong Yi, on the other hand, he is worried that he will be wronged, and his completely different ideas are used by him freely, and only the emperor who is high up can have such treatment.

Empress Yang's gaze inadvertently swept over Li Ting, who was standing in the main hall.

He took a breath and stood up, "Your Majesty, if the search fails, the minister is willing to die to apologize." ”

After Li Ting, a scholar of Hanlin, finished speaking, several more ministers stood up and expressed their willingness to pay for their lives if they couldn't find anything.

Everyone said so, and the emperor couldn't refuse anymore, and was about to give an order, when Lin Jue stood up.

She walked to the main hall and bowed down to Emperor Zhaoyang, "Your Majesty, the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Cause Country is really enviable. It's just that I dare to have a small proposal......"

Emperor Zhaoyang looked at her.

He had always known that Princess Vika of the Rakshasa Kingdom looked very similar to Lin Jue, and outsiders couldn't tell the difference at all, but the person standing in the hall today, he always had a hunch, this person, I'm afraid it's Lin Jue, right?

"If the princess has any proposals, you might as well say it directly."

"Actually, it's nothing." , Lin Jue smiled, "Today, my brother and I are fortunate to meet the loyal and righteous people of the Great Cause Country, the Great Cause has always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and His Majesty is also the most just person in the world, my brother and I both think ......"

The contractor standing next to her twitched the corners of his mouth, this is the rhythm that wants to pull him down!

“…… Since everyone is a loyal person, the search is just to prove their innocence. In that case, it is better for all the ministers to open their homes and let His Majesty send someone to take a look. Husband, open-minded, where is there anything unseemly? ”

Lin Jue's face flashed with an innocent light, and he stated his opinion hard and carefully.

Nangong Yi stood quietly in place, his eyes falling on Lin Jue through the ministers gathered in the main hall. It was the first time he had looked at her head-on today.

Sensing the gaze from outside, Lin Jue turned his head and happened to meet Nangong Yi's gaze.

There seemed to be a slight fluctuation in the inky eyes.

Lin Jue smiled at him.

It doesn't matter, even if Nangong Yi still doesn't recognize her, she still thinks she is Princess Vika, so let's be Princess Vika, right? It's the most important thing to get him out of trouble, and the rest, it doesn't matter.

"Good!"

Regardless of the emperor's true thoughts in his heart, he was very satisfied with Lin Jue's proposal on the surface, and the anger on his face seemed to dissipate a little, and he immediately ordered without hesitation to search the homes of all the ministers in the main hall, of course, Nangong Yi was also standing in the main hall, so the general's mansion must also be searched.

Although the ending is similar, at least there is a room for maneuver.

Lin Jue had an obsession in his heart, even if Nangong Yi didn't remember her, but with his intelligence, something like this was obviously a trap, he wouldn't be able to see it?

Since he can see that Nangong Yi has never been a soft-hearted person, will he be indifferent? Impossible, right? So Lin Jue made such a suggestion, since it is going to be searched, then everyone will be searched together, so that, at least in terms of time, it will give Nangong Yi a chance to fight back.

The fourth prince and the sixth prince were all injured, and the emperor sent the fifth prince, who had always been indisputable and unscrupulous, as the commander of this search, and at the same time let the ********, who was strong in martial arts, and his henchman Jiang Dahai go with him.

The five princes were ordered to leave the palace, and the rest of these people, except for the injured ones who went to the inner room to bandage, the rest of the people, in order to avoid suspicion, still stayed in Changchun Palace.

The emperor and several masters of the harem have already returned to the palace, in the Changchun Palace, all that is left are ministers and some uninjured female dependents, as soon as the emperor leaves, everyone begins to have some scruples, especially those female dependents, originally these people have just experienced a catastrophe, it should be fear. But no matter how frightened it is, it can't withstand the wear of time, and after a long time, they all start to talk.

Nowadays in Kyoto, the most popular and winning is Nangong Yi, and the most controversial is also Nangong Yi, women chatting, especially young ladies, no matter what they talk about at the beginning, they will always turn to Nangong Yi.

"Do you say that General Nangong is really the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"But you see that he is upright, where is the person who does such a thing?"

"That's it, I think that Li Ting or something, at first glance, looks like a bad person!"

Lin Jue listened silently beside him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, this is a world of faces......

"What do you know?!"

Princess Changyuan walked over.

"Haven't you heard of the saying that people should not be disguised?"

Hearing this voice, Lin Jue suddenly had a toothache, hasn't this person been locked up by Empress Dowager Xiao? Why did it pop up again?

Where Princess Changyuan is there, nothing good will happen.

Lin Jue didn't want to be distracted by this person at this juncture, so he took two quick steps, intending to leave quietly.

"Lin Er?"

It's a pity that Lin Jue was still a step too slow, and Princess Changyuan found her.

"Do you want me to beat her up?"

The contractor, who had disappeared for a while, didn't know where to come out, flashed to Lin Jue's side, and whispered.

"People are princesses, beating princesses, you don't want to die?" , Lin Jue glared at him angrily, and also lowered his voice.

The contractor did not answer.

But she said in her heart, doesn't she know that this palace is about to start to change the sky? The so-called princess or something, it's not worth mentioning at all.

Maybe it was because she saw the contract husband, Princess Changyuan suddenly reacted, she took two quick steps, caught up with Lin Jue, and said with a smile, "I forgot, you are Princess Vika of the Rakshasa Kingdom, not Lin Er." I'll just say, Lin Er is just a small citizen in the market now, where is he qualified to come to this banquet? ”

"The princess seems to be very familiar with Miss Lin Er?"

Lin Jue turned his head and asked with a smile.

The contractor automatically leaned to the side, with the same smile on his face.

"Cooked?"

Princess Changyuan raised her eyebrows, "Laughing to death, how can my dignified princess of Daye Kingdom be familiar with her kind of country girl?!" ”

Seeing her like this, Lin Jue didn't want to say more to her, so he turned around and was about to go out.

Princess Changyuan has been confined for several months, and finally got the queen mother's amnesty today, and was able to come to the palace banquet, and finally found a person who also hated Lin Jue, such a great opportunity, how could she miss it? So as soon as she saw that "Vika" was leaving, she immediately stopped her.

"It's also very strange to think about it, Princess Vika's face is so similar to Miss Lin'er, could it be that Lin Taibu is still related to the royal family of the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

This sentence was deliberately used to provoke "Princess Vika".

If you are an individual, you don't want your identity to be suspected, and royal people are even more so. And the reason why Princess Changyuan said this was to question the life experience of "Vika", so that the other party would definitely not be able to bear it.

Sure enough, Lin Jue was a little angry, she looked at Princess Changyuan and smiled, "There are no wonders in the world, I think Princess Changyuan, you are similar to an animal in our hometown, do you two also have relatives?" ”

"What animal?"

The contractor couldn't help but be curious and asked.

Lin Juewaner, "Pig." ”

"What?" , the contractor couldn't help laughing, he didn't control the expression on his face, and almost laughed out loud.

"You're scolding me?!"

Changyuan didn't think that the other party was not easy to bully at all, and stealing chickens and rice would not make it impossible for her to steal chickens, so she was a little annoyed in an instant.

"The princess misunderstood, I didn't scold you, I just wanted to say, this world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are some things, there is nothing strange about it."

Lin Jue looked at her with a smile on his face.

This smile made her feel inexplicably familiar, and she subconsciously took a step back, but her heart could hardly beat uncontrollably.

Is this person in front of you really Princess Vika?

is so sharp and unforgiving, how does she feel like Lin Er?

However, if it's Lin Er, she just needs to test it a little.

At this moment, several palace maids came up with refreshments, and Princess Changyuan casually took a cup of hot tea that was still hot from the tray of the palace maids, and suddenly stumbled, her hand shook, and the tea in the cup spilled in the direction of Lin Jue-

Seeing this, the contract man who had been standing not far away hurriedly rushed over and blocked Lin Jue with himself, and the hot tea was poured directly on the back of his jade-like hand, and it was immediately scalded red. (To be continued.) )
