Chapter 108: Scapegoating

The carriage of the morning light is spacious and stable, probably with special shock absorption measures, and it does not shake at all when driving on the street.

Lin Qin sat in the corner of the carriage, even though he had experienced many big scenes, he was still a little restrained at this time.

Huo Wu made a cup of tea and offered it to Lin Qin, who politely accepted it.

The morning light gave Fire Dance a look, and Fire Dance understood and withdrew.

There were only two people left in the carriage, Chenguang and Lin Qin.

Lin Qin was even more moved by Chenguang's silent thoughtfulness.

"Is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson feeling better?" Chenguang asked in a concerned tone.

As soon as this was mentioned, Lin Qin's eyes were sad, on the day of his birthday, the emperor's eldest grandson witnessed the emperor's grandfather Long Yan being angry, his father was imprisoned, and he was greatly frightened, after the prince was imprisoned, the emperor's eldest grandson was ill, Lin Qin had to be busy running around for the prince's affairs, and had to take care of the sick child, tired and bitter.

She shook her head, too sad to speak.

Chenguang didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to be silent.

Lin Qin was quiet for a while, raised his head, and said to Chenguang in a pleading tone:

"Princess Rong, let me meet His Royal Highness King Rong, right? I don't ask for anything now, only that the prince will get out of prison alive. I know that the prince has a violent temperament and used to be very bad to His Royal Highness King Rong, but His Royal Highness King Rong and the prince grew up together, they are brothers, siblings, blood ties, and there is still flesh and blood. His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is young, and he can't live without his father. Princess Rong, please, please talk to His Royal Highness King Rong, as long as the crown prince lives, let us do anything, even if we move out of Qi'an and never come back, we will definitely agree! Princess Rong, they are all a family, don't end up with cannibalism in the end! ”

Lin Qin is a person who understands, she said it very clearly, she prayed that Shen Run could save Shen Huai's life by caring for her flesh and blood, and after rescuing Shen Huai, Shen Run didn't have to worry that Shen Huai would continue to grab the throne with him, and their family could leave Qi'an and never come back.

It's a pity that it's too late to get out at this time.

Chenguang glanced at the hand that was suddenly held by Lin Qin, and broke free without a trace.

Lin Qin stiffened because of her action, and his heart was cold.

Chenguang smiled gently at her.

"Crown Princess, now it's not a question of how King Rong or King Jing should intercede, with all due respect, the prince is His Majesty's heart, compared to the prince, King Rong and King Jing are not as good as a weed on the side of the road. If His Majesty has the heart to let the prince go, he doesn't need to be persuaded at all. The point now is that the crown prince cursed His Majesty, and His Majesty believed it. ”

"This is a false accusation! It's a blame! The prince didn't do it! No matter how rough and bastard the prince is, His Majesty loves him like that, he will not do anything to curse the emperor! ”

Chenguang just laughed at Lin Qin's hard rebuttal.

"There is such a thing as a crime, and it is not that the condemning person says that you have it, but if the condemned person sees it but pretends not to see it, and he says that he is not guilty, then he is innocent." Chenguang said with a smile.

Lin Qin was speechless, she looked at the morning light with confused eyes, and didn't know what words to use to refute her.

"But it's not without a turnaround." Chenguang took a sip of water and said with a light smile.

When Lin Qin heard this, her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she hurriedly asked:

"Turnaround? What turnaround? ”

Chenguang took small sips of water, moving unhurriedly.

She didn't say anything halfway through her words, Lin Qin was anxious, looking at her face and guessing that she should be thinking, she didn't dare to urge her, she could only stare at her with her eyes.

Lin Qin's heart was in turmoil, just waiting for Chenguang to speak, no matter what she said, she would take what she said as a reassuring agent.

Morning Light finally drank a cup of water, she put down the cup, and asked:

"How many days has the prince been in prison?"

Lin Qin was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied, "Today is the fifth day." ”

"Cursing the emperor is also cursing the father, this double crime of killing the king and killing the father, if it is left on others, the emperor will be cut down the next day if he is not on the spot, how can he stay for five days without even a little movement." Chenguang smiled and said, in a light tone, "So I think the emperor is waiting, waiting for a reason to forgive the prince." The prince wants to get rid of this case, it is unlikely, I don't know if the prince is innocent, I think the princess, you can't be sure that the prince must be innocent, the doll was found in Xinyue Building, and the fabric used to make the doll is the only one of the prince. Now His Majesty has believed that the curse is true, but even if he believes, he does not want the prince to die, he is hesitating, at this time, the best, fastest and most useful way is for someone to bear the guilt for the prince. ”

Lin Qin's heart sank, and he began to pound rapidly.

"As long as someone in the prince's mansion can prove that he has a grudge against the emperor, the prince will naturally be acquitted, and after that, even if the emperor still has a problem with the prince, the prince can still be an idle prince, even if he is no longer the prince, he will be rich all his life. However, the status of this scapegoat cannot be too low, and even if a person with a low status admits sincerely, he is still suspected of being a scapegoat. This time, even if the emperor has the heart to let the prince go, this case must be concluded beautifully, the knot must be logical, the knot cannot make people gossip, and the knot cannot leave a pimple in the emperor's heart. ”

Chenguang said in a serious tone.

With every word, Lin Qin's head lowered a point.

In the end, Chenguang spread his hands: "But there may not be this suitable candidate in the prince's mansion, so it is very troublesome." Whether it is King Rong or King Jing, the crown princess should no longer place hopes, you and I will have a concubine, I will tell the truth, both are princesses, between princes, I said not to hope anymore The reason for believing that the princess understands. ”

Chenguang said softly, paused, and put his hand on hers, hoping to give her a little comfort.

"Crown Princess, don't be too sad, even if the crown prince really can't come out, you still have His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will always be the eldest grandson of His Majesty, and if you have this child, you may not be as beautiful as when the prince was alive, but you will not become destitute and sleep on the streets. No matter how much Your Majesty hates the crown prince, he really loves His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, your mother and son will not have great difficulties in the future. You don't have to worry too much about the future. ”

Tears were already overflowing from the corners of Lin Qin's eyes.

She sobbed, holding Chenguang's hand, her throat choking slightly:

"I understand, Princess Rong, thank you for today."

She squeezed Chenguang's hand, desperately holding back the cry, and she smiled.

Morninglight shook her head.

The carriage turned around, and Chenguang used the carriage to send Lin Qin to the adjacent street of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Qin got out of the carriage and went back in his own carriage.

Fire Dance returns to the carriage.

Chenguang was watching Lin Qin get into the car through the carriage curtain, and then the other party also lifted the curtain, and the two said goodbye through the window, and Lin Qin went back.

Chenguang watched her leave, supported her cheek with one hand, and said with a smile:

"It's funny to be out there!"

"Does Your Highness think she will save the Crown Prince?" Fire Dance asked.

"Who knows." Chenguang said with a smile.
