Chapter 62: The Involvement of the Imperial Family
"Although this princess doesn't know if the young lady of the Cao family is innocent, this Shao Yuyu is not a good thing at all!"
snorted coldly, and the picture that flashed in her eyes made Shao Ningyan even more unhappy in her heart.
The screams continued for a while, until Cao Wenxue was already dying when she was dragged in again.
The Thirty Boards are not ruthless, but for a delicate and expensive young lady like Cao Wenxue, it is still a relatively severe punishment.
Half-squinted, lying on a simple stretcher, even though her consciousness was not clear, the constant gazes and non-existent discussions around her still reached Cao Wenxue's ears.
The scorching pain in her body coupled with her anger made her almost vomit a mouthful of blood.
But the resentment towards Lin Yue in her heart did not decrease at all, and when she opened her scarlet eyes, Lin Yue on the high seat seemed to be looking at her with compassion.
opened her mouth with difficulty, although her voice was broken, Cao Wenxue still had no intention of stopping.
Tremblingly, he stretched out a hand and pointed directly at Lin Yue, as if he wanted to say something.
Noticing this detail, Shao Sijin's expression couldn't help but change, but Cao Wenxue had already spoken: "Yes, it's her...... She did everything, and she deliberately blamed me. ”
What the?
Or this news was really shocking, and for a while, everyone's foreheads fell on Lin Yue's face.
When I saw half of her face exposed, I couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust.
Maybe it's really her, but she doesn't look like a kind person.
There were more than one person present who came up with this idea, but at the moment there is no evidence yet, and it is difficult for people to make a decision directly, but gossip is always indispensable.
"Oh, isn't Miss Cao awake from being beaten? I have to show evidence for this. ”
With a flash of eyes, Lin Yue didn't expect Cao Wenxue to identify herself at this time, but her strong psychological quality made her not panic.
"You! It's you, you poisonous woman! ”
After saying this, Cao Wenxue coughed violently because of her emotion.
And her actions also completely angered the caring Lin Shiqian.
Slammed the table, Lin Shiqian's face was full of anger and he didn't hide it at all.
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the daughter of the grass people to do this, Miss Cao's words have no truth at all, and I hope that the dog girl will be innocent!"
"It's not right for the head of the Lin family to say this, the matter has not been investigated, how do you know if this is true or false? Your Majesty, Weichen begs you to find out the truth and not let the little girl suffer this grievance in vain! ”
As soon as Lin Shiqian's words fell, Cao Zhennan immediately followed and pleaded with the emperor.
The resoluteness between his eyebrows almost convinced people of his loyalty.
Looking at the two people below, the emperor still didn't say a word, but he had his own plans in his heart.
"Your Majesty! Wechen didn't have time to explain to the little girl just now, but now that he saw the little girl being framed, Wechen really couldn't bear it in his heart, so please bring the real murderer to justice! ”
Seeing that the emperor still didn't speak, Cao Zhennan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he knew that the emperor had a grudge against the Cao family, but he was afraid that the emperor would have a personal grudge in public.
Then he really complained.
His heart was pounding like a drum, and the emperor was not annoyed by his urging.
His face was not angry and arrogant, "What the two of them said is reasonable, but I feel that this matter still needs to be carefully investigated, and what Miss Cao needs most at the moment is the doctor, and the prime minister thinks what I said is right?" ”
"This ......"
With a hint of hesitation on his face, Cao Zhennan was unwilling, but because of Long Wei, he had to nod his head.
Soon, several Cao family guards came up and took Cao Wenxue down, and the banquet was back on track.
It's just that this series of things happened, and everyone's expressions were more or less uncomfortable, and the emperor turned a blind eye to this, but became a little interested in the veiled Lin Yue because of Cao Wenxue's accusation just now.
Sensing the emperor's gaze, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She didn't know if the emperor had any doubts about herself, but now that he had noticed her, she couldn't do anything about it.
Leaning over slightly, he heard the emperor take the lead in asking, "Is this Miss Lin Yue?" I have always heard of Miss Lin's reputation in the capital, but now it is the first time we have officially met, which seems to be very different from the rumors. Why does the head of the Lin family have such a daughter, so why has he been hiding? ”
Stunned, Lin Shiqian couldn't help but feel a little unsure of his old friend's thoughts.
I had to reply modestly: "The emperor said that he laughed, the dog girl has a rough appearance and is shallow, so there is really nothing to show to you." ”
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and his appreciation for Lin Yue in his eyes was not hidden at all, "Don't be modest, Miss Lin's performance just now I liked it very much, and things like appearance can't be used to judge a person's quality at all!" ”
After a pause, he asked again, "I heard that Miss Lin seems to have a good relationship with Ningyan?" ”
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, the topic would suddenly turn to herself, Lin Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
Facing the emperor's kind eyes, he quickly reacted and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the folk girl has only met the eldest princess a few times, and it is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who carries her love." ”
With his head down, as he spoke, a drop of cold sweat slipped from Lin Yue's head.
Although the emperor's kindness does not look like an illusion, she does not have the courage to directly admit her relationship with Shao Ningyan.
The royal family is already extremely noble, and the Lin family is rich enough to rival the country, if it is involved too much, I am afraid it will cause many misunderstandings.
This is why Lin Shiqian is obviously an old friend of the emperor, but he never admits it in public.
There are too many disputes in the court, if he can, Lin Yue doesn't want to be involved, just one Cao family is difficult enough, if it involves other forces.
Even Lin Yue wasn't sure if he had the ability to protect himself.
Thinking about this, she replied.
The emperor can sit on the throne for so many years, and naturally he is not a fool.
Sensing Lin Yue's scruples, he couldn't help but smile calmly in his heart, and in the small talk with Lin Yue, he gradually discovered her eccentricity.
It is not obvious on the face, but it is very fond of it in the heart.
Three days later, while ushering in the Mid-Autumn Festival, osmanthus flowers also gradually began to bloom.
The small yellow flowers are hidden among the green leaves, which is very beautiful.
Immediately after the feast, the Emperor summoned another flower-viewing feast at a laurel garden in the palace.
I heard that the queen is very fond of osmanthus flowers, and every year in September and October, when the osmanthus flowers bloom, some people will be invited to her osmanthus garden to enjoy the flowers.
You can even taste the osmanthus cake specially made by the imperial chef.
This made Lin Yue's eyes light up the moment she received the invitation.
