Chapter 239: Returning Home 4
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
Lin Ruo's gaze is still as clear as a child, so what she says always unconsciously makes people feel sincere and from the bottom of her heart.
After getting the compliment, Emperor Mingzong Longyan Dayue no longer cared about Lin Ruo's bargaining, Lang smiled and said: "Stay for a while, you go to Zhaoming Palace, and ask your imperial grandmother to say goodbye, I haven't seen you for a few months, she thinks you are very important, and she thinks about you every day." ”
"Yes. Minhui also missed the imperial grandmother, so she came back before the imperial grandmother's birthday. ”
Emperor Mingzong nodded with satisfaction: "The birthday gifts you prepare for your imperial grandmother every year are all ingenious, and this year, what have you prepared?" ”
With a sly roll of his eyes, Lin Ruo pretended to be profound: "Now, I can't tell you!" Otherwise, it would not be a surprise. When it comes to the emperor's grandmother's birthday, the emperor will naturally know! ”
Emperor Mingzong smiled and did not continue to ask.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Minhui has one more thing to report. It's about...... Sister Nozomi. ”
Lin Ruo knelt on the ground again, buried his head very low, clenched his fists with both hands, and his whole person trembled slightly.
It was a silent plea, just like when she brought the Xiuyu pendant to plead.
Emperor Mingzong's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition, and suddenly rose.
"Say it."
"Yes."
Lin Ruo took a deep breath and told him what he had encountered and guessed one by one. Of course, she will probably make Emperor Mingzong's jealousy and suspicion of the Lin family disappear.
The whole thing started when she and Murong Chong left Bian'an City, because they found that someone was following, so Murong Chong discussed and decided to send someone to Jinling to deliver a letter, until when they arrived in Yuzhou and were about to leave the Donglu border, they and Murong Chong disguised themselves as brothers and sisters of the Wang family to hide people's eyes. In addition, someone pretended to be her and Murong Chong, assuming that her body was not good, and she seemed to be happy, and slowly rushed back to Bian'an, and the eyes of the person who followed her were drawn away.
Emperor Mingzong had already learned all the reasons for this matter from the secret compromise sent back by Murong Chong, but from Lin Ruo's narration, Emperor Mingzong learned more details that were not easy to detect.
Of course, this is Lin Ruo's rhetoric prepared in advance, and all the clues that Emperor Mingzong found out in all her "unintentional" statements are what she hopes Emperor Mingzong will perceive. Some of these clues point to King Ye, some point to Gu Ting, and some point to the Xishu royal family.
Lin Ruo knew very well that being too rigorous and seamless would make Emperor Mingzong suspicious of her, so it was better to let Emperor Mingzong analyze and verify it himself from her detailed description, who was involved in it.
"Later, I followed the prince to the northern camp to live temporarily, until Vice President Xu came to report and said that he had captured Midu. However, it seems that there are other people along the way, trying to rob Midu. Vice General Xu was worried about exposing the reality of the Northern Army, so he hid Midu in Yuzhou, and then avoided those people and came to invite the prince. ”
"You went with you, too?"
"That's right, I don't dare to deal with General He alone."
Emperor Mingzong shook his head helplessly: "This He Yan, after so many years, this character still hasn't changed!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. General He is not wrong, I went to the northern army, it is indeed inappropriate. ”
Emperor Mingzong was still very pleased with Lin Ruo's general knowledge, and comforted her a few more words.
"The prince took Midu outside the city of Yuzhou, lured out all the killers who were hiding in the dark, and then wiped them out. Fortunately, Ah Shu has experience in the rivers and lakes and left a living. Then after torture, I learned that those people were from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong. Their target is not Midu, but me. ”
Although all the thrilling was simply carried over, Emperor Mingzong could see from the pause in Lin Ruo's speech and the contraction of her pupils that she still felt afraid.
Lin Kite is left with such a daughter!
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingzong's heart was also tight.
"How can Chong'er let you take risks?"
"No, no," Lin Ruo hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "The prince left me in the carriage and let Ah Shu and the two secret guards protect my safety, so I didn't have anything, that is, it was the first time I saw such a thrilling scene, and I was a little uncomfortable." However, I later remembered that Su Boyu once gave me a skull as a birthday gift, and I felt that it was nothing......"
“……”
Emperor Mingzong looked at Lin Ruo speechlessly, should he say that this girl was born bold, or was she nervous?
Therefore, Lin Ruo was not frightened by such a scene, and he still had to thank that bastard boy from the Jingping Hou family?
"Moreover, I also feel very powerful to be able to help the prince!"
“……”
Emperor Mingzong was once again speechless.
However, from this point of view, the relationship between Lin Ruo and Murong Chong is really good!
"And, fortunately, I went, so I was able to lure these people out and know ......" Lin Ruo paused for a long time and took several deep breaths before calming down his emotions, "They are here for the people of the Lin family, and I am not their first target!" ”
For the Lin family, Lin Ruo is not the first target.
What does this mean?
Emperor Mingzong's face couldn't see much change, but those who were familiar with the emperor's temper could definitely see that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart!
Gu Manxi's tragic death resurfaced in front of his eyes.
After examining her injuries, the person who did it was definitely a master, and the methods were cruel, he could be killed with a sword, but Gu Manxi was tortured to death with his last breath.
At that time, Emperor Mingzong issued a gag order, and the puppet did not write this article on the case file.
However, Emperor Mingzong also ordered a thorough investigation, but it has been fruitless. For so many years, the killer has been at large. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruo's trip to Beiqi made this matter take a turn for the better.
Can based on the vague statement of a Tang Sect killer, can it really be concluded that Gu Manxi's death was done by the Tang Sect?
That's a bit arbitrary.
However, Lin Ruo intuitively felt that this matter must have something to do with the Xishu Tang Sect, especially the Shao Concubine. Especially after learning about the Jinling Lin family from Han Shizheng, she was even more convinced of her thoughts. It's a pity that many things happened too long ago, and she didn't have time to verify it before she rushed back from Beici.
But she hopes that she can get some clues or support from Emperor Mingzong first.
"What about the killer?"
Lin Ruo sighed: "I originally wanted to bring him back, but I didn't watch him and let him commit suicide......"
For this result, Emperor Mingzong also felt that it was expected, but when he thought of Lin Ruo's plan, he still felt too bold: "You are really fooling around!" What if you don't see the result, what if he comes to you and breaks the net? ”
Lin Ruo puffed out his mouth: "However, there are so many guards around me, and besides, Ah Shu and a few of them take turns to guard, this kind of thing will not happen......"
"It's better not to be too confident in everything."
