Chapter Ninety-Three: The Scapegoat

"She once asked the minister to target the Lin family, but after all, the minister and Lord Lin still have some friendship, so they severely punished her, who would have thought that not only did she not sincerely change her ways, but held a grudge, not only looking for someone to assassinate Lord Lin, but also blaming me."

After that, the emperor asked people to go to the Lan family to mention Lan Ziyi.

The hall was silent again, and it looked a little funny.

The matter has come to this point, and Lan Wan'er also knows that it is impossible to bring down the Lan family this time, no matter how much she plans, she can't match the cheekiness of the family.

However, it is not all without gain, at least, it has left a root of illness in the emperor's heart, and in the face of these two people in the future, he will definitely be wary in his heart.

Lan Ziyi was quickly brought over, the first time she entered the court, it was an extremely sensitive and fragile time, so from the moment she entered the main hall, her body was trembling, her eyes did not dare to glance, her head was lowered, and she was almost dragged in by the guards.

She shivered and saluted, she secretly looked at her father beside her, asking for help in her eyes, probably hoping that her father or sister could help her.

"Lan Ziyi, your father accused you of murdering the court officials and their families, you can confess!" The emperor shouted angrily.

Lan Ziyi's face was already pale with fright, and this burst of shouting almost scared her soul away.

Trembling and prostrate on the ground, unable to utter a word.

Lan Yifeng looked at her cowardly appearance, and was extremely dissatisfied.

Useless things, if they are lost by him, they will be lost, a dead chess, it is good to be able to play her role again when she dies.

"Raise your head and look at me!" The emperor has been in a good mood from the beginning to be irritable, and seeing her trembling like this, his heart is even more irritable.

Lan Ziyi shuddered violently in fright, and then slowly raised her head, just at a glance, and before she could even see what she looked like, her head lowered again.

"Since you don't speak, it's a tacit acquiescence!" The emperor was dissatisfied.

Lan Ziyi suddenly shook her head in fright: "No, no, no." ”

She repeated the words intermittently, but she could not even utter a complete sentence of defense for herself.

"You're so daring! bribed the murderer to kill people, and when the matter was over, he planted everything on his father and sister, and brought this disloyal, unfilial, and vicious person down! Hanged after three days! ”

The emperor reprimanded and put all the charges on the head of a person who everyone present could clearly see that it was impossible to kill anyone.

Lan Ziyi couldn't speak anymore, just took a breath, and then fainted.

It looks like he was stunned.

It's okay now, and there's no way to defend yourself.

The emperor was upset and asked people to drag Lan Ziyi down.

The meaning is obvious, there was no interrogation, so she was directly asked to take the blame.

Lan Wan'er knew that the emperor couldn't deal with the Lan family now, but finding someone to blame her so casually made her extremely disgusted.

Lin Cheng was also angry, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only suppress his anger.

Lan Yifeng and Lan Yingying breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, knowing that this matter was over.

"Lan Yingying." The emperor suddenly spoke again, and her heart suddenly lifted it, and she hurriedly kowtowed.

"You have repeatedly taught you that you have tried to cause trouble during the lockdown, and if I don't punish you, you don't know what is wrong with you."

The hall was quiet, and they all knew that he still had something to say.

"Spread my will, from today onwards, the imperial concubine will be flattened to the rank of concubine, and all the degrees should be given according to the standards of concubines."

Lan Yingying was anxious, but she also knew that it was useless to say anything now, she could only recuperate, and she would revenge this revenge later.

"The concubine is the order."

Lan Wan'er lowered her head, her face expressionless.

She knew that this was the emperor's explanation to her, and the concubine was demoted.

It may be a blow to Lan Yingying, but for Lan Xuan'er, it is far from enough.

The life of the Lin family is to make the entire Lan family lose it, and they can't afford to pay it.

"Lin Juan, the murderer has been caught, and I have also dealt with it, what do you think of my disposition?" The emperor looked at Lan Wan'er, his tone was full of kindness, but it was full of threats in Lan Wan'er's ears.

The emperor asked, if she was dissatisfied, would she really dare to refute it?

He asked her to admit in court that she would not pursue this matter too much in the future, and she was really indifferent as always.

Fortunately, the current Lan Wan'er is no longer the original Lan Wan'er, and she has no friendship with the emperor.

"Thank you to the emperor for being the master of the courtiers." Lan Wan'er bowed her hand, her tone detached.

"Well, if it's okay, let's retire today."

After speaking, before everyone could speak, the emperor had already left, and the ministers had also dispersed, but they were talking about today's events.

Lan Yifeng and Lan Yingying glared at Lan Xuan'er at the same time, and the latter touched his nose helplessly.

What are you doing staring at her, it's just that she has demoted the concubine position, they don't think they have earned it, and they are still staring at her here, it is really reasonable to do badly.

Lan Wan'er glanced at Lan Yingying: "Congratulations, the blame was successful." ”

Lan Yingying's already angry chest was suddenly ignited by Lan Wan'er's words, and she was about to rush forward as she spoke, but Lan Yifeng's eyes were quickly held down.

"Go back!"

These two words have anger, reprimand, coldness, and blade.

Lan Yingying was also a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at Lan Yifeng's eyes, so she could only glare at Lan Wan'er hatefully, and left with Lan Yifeng.

On the way home, Lin Cheng couldn't help it when he got into the carriage.

"The emperor's bias towards the Lan family has reached such a point, and the evidence is conclusive, and he has been made innocent!"

He could finally understand how desperate and unbelievable his friend was when he was framed to death, and he felt chills at the moment.

"It's good to get used to it, it's okay, this time it's just a warning to the Lan family, so that they don't dare to do it easily, and I don't expect this matter alone to bring down the Lan family."

If that were the case, then his father would not have been murdered by Lan Yifeng and them back then.

Hearing him say this, Lin Cheng was even more distressed.

At night, Lan Wan'er lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

Lan Xiaoqi rubbed into her arms, and comforted her with a soft and glutinous voice: "A-Niang, don't be afraid, Xiao Qi is here, and she won't let A-Niang be bullied." ”

Lan Wan'er was moved in her heart, and patted Lan Xiaoqi lightly on the back: "A-Niang is fine, go to sleep, be good." ”

Coaxed him to sleep, Lan Xuan'er couldn't help it anymore, changed her clothes and walked in the direction of the palace.

All the way to the dungeon, no one noticed.

She looked left and right and landed at the dungeon door.

"Who!" The guards were alert.

"It's me, little brother of the guard, I'm Lin Juan." Lan Wan'er smiled at him and spoke slowly.

The guard was so upset by this smile that he hurriedly raised his hand and saluted respectfully: "It turned out to be Miss Lin, it's so late, I don't know why you're here?" ”

Lan Wan'er is lucky, the guard guarding the dungeon today is an old man, and he has seen Lan Wan'er as a queen before, so when he saw this face exactly the same as the former queen, he immediately recognized it.

Only then did Lan Xuan'er know that Lin Xuan's name had almost spread throughout the palace.

all know that the emperor is now pampering a woman outside the palace, Lin Juan.

"That's right, my father's assassin is being held in this dungeon, and I want to see her fate with my own eyes, so can I ask the little brother to make it easier?"

As she spoke, Lan Wan'er threw out a money bag: "There is not much silver in it, little brother invites the brothers to drink some wine." ”

Heavy all the time in the hand, you can obviously feel the weight, the guard shows face.

"Miss Lin, what are these words, this prisoner was originally arrested by the emperor for you, you can look at it however you want, please here."

Lan Wan'er bowed her head slightly and walked behind the guard.

The secret path is really good for money, but I think there is also a reason why she is now famous.

I saw many prisoners and guards along the way, and I didn't see Lan Xuan'er when I saw her.

Lan Xuan'er also didn't want to reveal her identity, so she buttoned the hat on her trench coat so that she couldn't see her face, so that the guards also knew what she meant and helped her hide her identity.

"This is it." The guard spoke suddenly, and at the same time took out the key to unlock the dungeon.

Lan Xuan'er looked into the dungeon, a woman with a cloak was looking in a direction with a dull gaze, and when she heard a sound, she just moved her fingers, and there was no sound.

"Thank you, little brother, I'll go out in a while, I'm tired."

Lan Wan'er had such a good attitude, which made the guards a little embarrassed, nodded at her, and left.

"Lan Ziyi." Lan Wan'er spoke.

Lan Ziyi turned around, and the moment she saw Lan Wan'er, she suddenly pounced with her teeth and claws.

"It's you, it's all you, you hurt me like this, what else do you want!"

Lan Wan'er took a step back and clamped her wrist with one hand, only to realize that in just a few months, Lan Ziyi had lost weight to the skin.

Lan Yifeng has always been eager to throw away useless people directly, Lan Ziyi has become like this, except for bringing shame to the Lan family, he can't bring any benefits.

Thinking of the woman with a smile on her eyebrows when she met for the first time, Lan Wan'er felt a pity in her heart.

The world is impermanent, and creation makes people!

After all, it was she who took the wrong step first, so she ended up today.

"I've brought some snacks, would you like to eat them?"

Feeling that Lan Ziyi gave up struggling, Lan Wan'er let go of her and raised the basket in her hand at her.

Lan Ziyi didn't even look at the basket, and said coldly: "Are you here to see what I have been harmed by you today?" You've seen it now and you're ready to go. ”

Lan Wan'er is not annoyed, after so many changes, she can't stand it on anyone: "Miss Lan, eat something first, and after eating, we'll talk again." ”

"What do you want to do?" Lan Ziyi looked at her.

"We'll talk about it after eating." Lan Wan'er took care of herself and put the basket on the only stone and wood table in the prison, gathered the weeds, and sat down.

"You poisoned it? Want to kill me outright? Lan Ziyi asked.

The corners of Lan Wan'er's mouth twitched, and she looked at her speechlessly.

"If I want you to die, hanging should be more of a pleasure of revenge than poisoning, right?"

Seeing that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, Lan Wan'er said again: "Last time, eat or not, if you don't eat, I'll take it." ”
