Chapter 442: Punishing the Innocent

When the new emperor woke up, he felt weak, and it took a long time to realize that he had just been drugged.

But who took the drug, this can't help but know, and several names flashed in his mind, but he denied them.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he was unconscious, Lin Kite had come here to bring him medicine, but he looked around and did not see Lin Kite in the dormitory.

"Someone." It's not that he doubts Lin Kite, but the current Lin Kite makes him less and less convinced.

The eunuch guarding the door heard the new emperor's words, and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in: "Your Majesty, you are awake, what are your orders?" ”

The new emperor rubbed his forehead, which was a little painful, "Where did Lin Kite go?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, Miss Lin has already returned to the palace." The eunuch didn't understand what the new emperor heard, didn't the emperor see it when Miss Lin came just now?

"When did you leave?"

After thinking about it diligently, the eunuch replied respectfully: "It's been half an hour since I left." ”

Half an hour? He should have been in a coma for an hour, so what did Lin Kite do in his dormitory for half an hour?

Suddenly he thought of something bad, and he immediately got out of bed with his shoes on, walked to the desk and rummaged through it, then went to his bed and pressed the mechanism, and when he saw that the contents were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the moon and the talisman are here, Lin Kite is not the one who drugged him, and Lin Kite found the talisman but did not take the talisman, does it mean that she has never been able to be ruthless.

The eunuch standing on the side watched the new emperor sitting on the bed anxiously for a while, puzzled for a while, and smiled for a while, thinking that he was uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with your body? Do you want a slave to call for a doctor for you? ”

"No need, you go and find the palace people who boiled the medicine for me today." After being happy for a while, the new emperor put away his smile and commanded indifferently.

"Yes, Servant Command." Although he didn't know what the new emperor was going to do, the eunuchs around him still received the order.

Soon, a palace maid was led in by a eunuch: "It is the palace maid Cui'e who is boiling medicine for you today." ”

At this time, the palace maid did not know what was happening, and saluted the new emperor on the side.

"Slave Cui'e visits the emperor."

"Cui'e, I asked you, but you boiled the medicine for me today?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it is the slave maid."

Seeing Cui'e admitting, the new emperor had a number in his heart, and ordered to the eunuch beside him with an expressionless face: "Drag it down and put it to death." ”

Hearing the new emperor's will, the eunuch and Cui'e were stunned, Cui'e didn't know what she had done, and knelt at the feet of the new emperor and begged for mercy: "What did the emperor's slave and maid do, why did you want to execute the slave and maid?" ”

"What did you do? Do you want me to tell you? The new emperor didn't want to look at the vicious woman in front of him anymore, so he glanced at the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch quickly understood the meaning in the eyes of the new emperor, and stepped forward to drag the crying Cui'e down.

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." Cui'e really didn't know what she had done wrong, and she would be executed, and when she was desperate, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

When Lin Yuan walked in, she saw a eunuch dragging a weeping palace maid out, and she looked at the new emperor in confusion.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Seeing Lin Yuan coming here, the new emperor's face improved a little: "This palace maid dares to put drugs in my medicine." ”

Hearing about the drug, Lin Yuan immediately reacted, turned her head, and saw the face of the palace maid clearly, it was the palace maid who went to boil the medicine, she didn't want to watch the new emperor kill innocents indiscriminately, so she stepped forward to excuse the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, have you misunderstood something? I see that this palace maid is honest and duty-oriented, not like a person who can be drugged. ”

"Hmph, one set on the surface, one behind the ground, who knows what her ultimate goal is." The new emperor waved his hand impatiently to the eunuch, signaling him to hurry up and drag the noisy palace maid down.

"Wait." Lin Yuan saw that he was really going to die, so he hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been investigated clearly, and she has been convicted for no reason in this way, which really makes the hearts of the people in the palace cold, and besides, didn't she do anything to the emperor?" Why should the emperor make a big fuss. ”

Seeing the new emperor's hesitation, Lin Yuan continued: "And when I found out that the emperor was in a coma, I was afraid that someone would do something to the emperor, so I guarded you here for half an hour before going back, presumably no one came in for the next half an hour, right?" ”

The latter sentence was asked to the eunuch who was waiting beside him, and the eunuch nodded again and again when he heard Lin Yuan's words: "Your Majesty, Miss Lin is right, after half an hour after Miss Lin left, no suspicious person approached your dormitory." ”

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, the new emperor had no choice but to speak: "If this is the case, then I will no longer pursue it, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so I will drag it down and fight for twenty to set an example." ”

Lin Yuan was a little unbearable, and watched the palace maid being dragged away, so she simply turned around and stopped looking at her pitiful appearance.

"Kite, come here." The new emperor took Lin Kite's expression in his eyes and beckoned her over.

"Kite, do you know how happy I was when I woke up and saw that the talisman was still with me?"

The new emperor looked at Lin Kite carefully, and his eyes were full of smiles: "When I heard that you were here to accompany me for half an hour, I was very happy. ”

"Don't get me wrong, the emperor doesn't get me wrong, I'm just staying here just to let someone take advantage of people's danger, don't think about it, your majesty."

The new emperor didn't pay attention to what Lin Yuan said, but looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face.

Lin Yuan was stared at by him and panicked, but fortunately found an excuse to leave here: "Since the emperor has nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”

Saying that he didn't give the new emperor a chance to speak, he turned around and ran out.

When Lin Kite returned to the palace, he asked the maid next to him to inquire about the palace maid who boiled medicine, and after a while, the maid walked back and reported to Lin Kite about the current situation of the palace maid.

"Miss Lin, the slave maid has already inquired clearly, the palace maid who boiled the medicine is named Cui'e, she is a person in the emperor's palace, and he has been beaten now, and he must not be able to get out of bed for half a month."

Hearing such a tragic situation of that palace maid, Lin Yuan was even more upset in her heart.

So she stood up and walked to the cabinet next to her, rummaged around, took out a few bottles and cans and handed them to the maidservant: "You go and send these to Cui'e quietly, don't startle the snake." ”

These medicines were specially prepared for her by the new emperor for fear that she would be injured, and now it seems that they have come in handy, and the maid took the medicine and left quickly.

After a few more days, the new emperor was finally able to get out of bed and walk around, and the first thing he could do when he could move around was to find Lin Kite, and he called the eunuch who was waiting beside him in: "What has Lin Kite been doing these days?" ”

"Recently, Miss Lin has been staying in the palace peacefully, and she hasn't gone anywhere, but ......." The eunuch spoke in a hurry, as if he was hesitating.

"Say whatever you want." The new emperor frowned and looked at the eunuch.

"In recent days, the slave has found out that Miss Lin always sends her maid to pick up Ji Cui'e from time to time."

Cui'e? Is it the palace maid who boiled medicine for him that day? The new emperor sat in his mind, and thought about it for a long time before he remembered who it was to be a Cui'e, but why did Lin Yuan go to help her for no reason?

"You go and send someone to continue to keep an eye on Lin Kite's every move, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble." The new emperor thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand Lin Kite's purpose for doing this, so he instructed the eunuch.

In recent days, Lin Kite has nothing to do, and occasionally walks around the palace garden, but I don't know if it is a deliberate arrangement by God, she can always meet the princess.

After what happened last time, the princess has not said a word to her until now, not only that, but now as long as she sees Lin Kite, the princess will treat her coldly.

Lin Yuan wanted to ease the relationship between the two people, and always wanted to find an opportunity, but he never found it.

On this day, she embroidered in the palace, and suddenly the maidservant came to report that the princess was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden at this moment.

When she reached the Imperial Garden, she found that the princess was indeed here, so she slowly approached her.

The princess, who was admiring the flowers, heard footsteps behind her, turned her head and found that it was Lin Kite, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

"Princess." Lin Yuan saw that the princess wanted to leave, and hurriedly stopped her: "Princess, wait, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" The princess looked at Lin Kite with an unfriendly face, she wanted to see what kind of rhetoric Lin Kite wanted to say to her at this time.

"I know I didn't do it right, but can you forgive me?" Lin Yuan looked at the princess with a pleading gaze.

When the princess heard Lin Kite say this, she snorted coldly: "Why do you want me to forgive you?" You're about to kill my royal brother, and you still have the face to beg me to forgive you? ”

"That's not the case, princess, can you calm down?" Lin Kite tried to hold the princess's hand, but the princess broke free.

"I told you before, it was your royal brother who wanted to kill the male protagonist, and the male protagonist injured your imperial brother by mistake out of self-defense."

"Wrong hand? What a mistake. The princess looked at Lin Kite with contempt: "Lin Kite, Lin Kite, I really misunderstood you, I didn't expect you to be so upside down, clever words." ”

Lin Yuan saw that the princess still didn't believe herself, and she was so squeezed that her tears were about to fall, who knows, when the princess saw her tears, the ridicule on her face was even worse.

"Princess, what do you have to do for you to believe me?" Looking at the mockery on the princess's face, Lin Yuan felt that her heart hurt so much, and her tears flowed even faster.

"Don't pretend to be here anymore, I won't trust you anymore no matter what." The princess shook her hand irritably, trying to shake off her frustration.

The two were arguing here, but they didn't know that a person hiding in the shadows saw all this, she didn't expect that the princess and Lin Kite would also have a quarrel one day.
