Chapter 674: Things Begin
Shen Xi's brows furrowed directly, and he asked, "Why is there still an edict from the emperor at this time?" ”
"I don't know, there hasn't been any movement in the court recently." Lu Qingyi shook his head gently, but still pulled Shen Xi towards the door.
Before the two of them arrived at the door, the people from the palace had already entered, and it turned out to be the old eunuch, the leader of the Glory Bureau. The old eunuch's face looked anxious, and he hurriedly said, "Two, the emperor called you into the palace." ”
"Father-in-law, what the hell is going on? Why is your face so bad? Lu Qingyi's foot movements did not delay for a moment, but this did not affect his speech.
The old eunuch sighed: "Didn't there be a woman in your house before?" That woman is now in front of the emperor. ”
"What kind of woman are you talking about?" Shen Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, there were only himself and Lu Qingyi in the mansion, and the other subordinates could run to the emperor?
Lu Qingyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he said, "You're talking about Lin Lin, right?" ”
"It should be called this name, she said that she belongs to the Huainan Lin family." The old eunuch nodded slightly.
Shen Xi immediately chuckled in her heart, she had calculated everything, and she didn't expect Lin Lin to be able to enter the palace, and even meet the emperor.
In this case, wouldn't all her plans be disrupted? Today, Lin Lin went to the palace, I'm afraid he won't be able to get any benefits.
With this calculation in their hearts, several people didn't dare to delay, and rushed to the palace without stopping. Shen Xi really didn't like the atmosphere in the palace, especially now......
Lin Lin knelt under the main hall, and it turned out to be Qian Luo standing beside her, both of whom lowered their heads and couldn't see what expressions were on their faces. But on the other side, there was obvious anger on the face of the second prince who was standing.
What he didn't expect was that Chang Yi was actually there, and when he saw Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi coming in, he kept staring. Lu Qingyi had an ominous premonition in an instant, Chang Yi's eyes, I'm afraid things will be very tricky.
In the end, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi didn't know what the situation was, so they came in and made a big salute first, and then knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound.
The emperor didn't speak, and kept looking at the few people below with a cold face. In this case, no one dared to speak.
Although Shen Xi kept her head down and was silent, she also looked at the atmosphere around her, and was about to choose a suitable opportunity to speak. Lin Lin, who was kneeling on the side, couldn't hold his breath: "Your Majesty, every word of the people's daughter is true, if there is half a lie, I would like the sky to thunder." ”
"What's the use of your thunder and thunder? I'm the second prince of Chu State, and you want to slander me just by saying a few words, are you thinking too simply? ”
The second prince couldn't help but snort coldly, and turned to the emperor and said, "Father, you have to make decisions for me!" ”
The emperor was unmoved, the expression on his face did not change, in this kind of formal occasion, the emperor always gave people the feeling of stern and majestic: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if you are innocent, I will naturally make the decision for you." ”
There was a hint of ruthlessness in the expression of the second prince, and the emperor saw all this in his eyes. The second prince seemed to notice this, and slowly lowered his head, hiding his expression well.
Someone opened his mouth, and there was no need for the emperor to continue to hold it, he raised his head and asked loudly: "Lu Qingyi Shenxi, the Huainan merchant incident was handled by the two of you, can you two know this person?" "Tower
"Back to the emperor, the minister knows her. This girl is the daughter of Lin Fangming, a merchant in Huainan. Lu Qingyi's voice was loud and full of energy.
The emperor nodded: "It seems that this woman did not lie about her identity, but she was saying just now that it was the second child who killed her whole family, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingyi suddenly chuckled in his heart, the emperor was testing him. Lu Qingyi was worried in his heart, so he could only whisper: "The minister doesn't know about this matter and doesn't dare to say more." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Lin became anxious, raised his head and looked in the direction of the two of them: "Master Lu, sister, you two said you would help me." ”
Shen Xi closed her eyes a little helplessly, how could this girl be so stupid. Now is not the time for them to deal with the second prince at all!
"Sister, my sister said that she wanted to help you, then she will definitely give you back the truth." Shen Xi hurriedly said out loud, the second prince has always been ruthless and cunning, but at the same time, he is also a very cautious person.
Although he can't say that he is perfect for doing things, ordinary people can't find anything wrong, not to mention that there is no evidence in Lin Lin's hands now. If he continues to pursue it in front of the emperor, it will only be Lin Lin himself who will suffer.
When Lin Lin saw this attitude of the two, he only thought that the two of them didn't want to help her, and a sense of despair immediately surged in his heart.
She kowtowed vigorously in the direction of the emperor and raised her voice: "Please also ask the emperor to call the shots!" ”
"Okay, okay, don't kowtow, if you keep kowtowing, my hall will be dirty by you."
Blood stains could be faintly seen on the top of Lin Lin's head, and Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart, but she couldn't step forward at all in this situation in front of her.
The second prince took a step forward and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Erchen wants to ask this woman, she said that Erchen Cheng killed her whole family, but is there any basis?" ”
"Well, that's a very important question." The emperor nodded, and then his majestic gaze fell on Lin Lin's body.
"You also heard what the second prince said just now, and if you have evidence, take it out now."
Lin Lin could only bury his head lower when he heard this, and after a long time, he let out a muffled voice: "I...... I have no proof. ”
"Without evidence, you are slandering!" The second prince stood up from the ground and pointed his finger at Lin Lin: "Father, this woman is slandering her sons." ”
The emperor was also a little shocked when he heard this, he looked at Lin Lin with his eyes open: "You mean, these are your guesses?" ”
"This ...... I also asked the emperor to know that when he was in Huainan, the second prince tried to win over my father, but my father did not agree at that time. After that, the second prince also often sent people to harass him. This thing can only be done by him, and he has the reason and ability to do it. ”
Lin Lin raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, but he still held back and didn't let the tears flow.
When the second prince heard this, he instantly sneered: "Let's not talk about whether I have this ability or not, I just want to ask, why did you kill your father?" What good will it do me to kill your father? ”
"You're just retaliating. I clearly dislike my father for not working under you! Huainan's vitality was greatly damaged, and you naturally hated my father. At this moment, Lin Lin didn't care about the difference in identity, and reprimanded loudly.
