Chapter Seventy-Six: The Origin of the Assassins
"Don't dare to deceive the emperor." Lin Xin'er looked straight ahead and replied calmly, "That father-in-law came to deliver food to the concubine, but the concubine didn't expect him to say that he was the one his father bought to take the place of the concubine in prison, so that the concubine could go to the place arranged outside the prison to heal." The concubine was overjoyed and did not think much about it, but took off the hairpin and handed it to him as he said, and in a few clicks he opened the lock and entered the cell. After that, he exchanged clothes with his concubines. By the way, the palace maid's dress of the concubine was given by His Royal Highness the Second Prince when he went to visit the concubine. The concubines are really happy for the emperor, the second prince and the third prince are very good-hearted, although it is just a gesture, but the concubines are still grateful. β
specially praised the second prince and the third prince, but only left the prince, in the eyes of others, Lin Xin'er was still worried about being rejected by Ximen Che. This is even more unthinkable that the half of the incense stick that Simon Che spent alone with her in the criminal chamber will do tricks and help her avoid the cane.
"You said that Gonggong Tao was instructed by Master Lin to go to prison for you, so why did he become the murderer of you?" Chen Rufeng continued to ask.
"Chen Shangshu, I just said, according to my father's instructions, it is just his one-sided words, if he is really the person my father bought, how can he assassinate me?" Lin Xin'er replied unhurriedly, "In hindsight, he just made up lies under the pretext of wanting to get close to me and deliberately fabricate lies, I can only blame me for thinking badly and being deceived, I think my father would not do such a thing as a court master." Fortunately, the guards found out in time and didn't let the assassin succeed, otherwise even if I had been stabbed to death, it would have been unjust. β
Lin Xin'er replied in a measured manner, not only admitting her mistakes, but also pointing out the deeds of Gonggong Tao, and reminding everyone that if she can kill someone in the prison of the criminal room, the origin of the murderer will not be simple, and it will not be her father Lin Bo, that is, someone who has the strength to fight with Lin Bo.
Obviously, the person who went to the prison first to deliver food and assassinated Gonggong Tao was for her. But if you follow the line of Gonggong Tao to check, it is very likely that it is Ximen Jingyu who will be found, and Ximen Jingyu will not kill her at this time even if he hates her.
So, who would risk sending someone to infiltrate the prison of the criminal chamber and want her life?
If she wants to kill her like this, she must hate her to the core, Lin Xin'er glanced at Chen Rufeng sideways, and at this time, he was the only one who wished that he would die immediately.
However, Chen Rufeng can achieve the position of Shangshu and stand tall in the court, and he is not an ordinary person after two dynasties, so he will definitely not do such a pediatric thing.
Who is it?
Lin Xin'er had already gone through the various characters in the DPRK and China in her mind, but she had no clue.
But it doesn't matter, you can just push this matter onto Chen Rufeng. Anyway, he and his Liangzi have settled, and this trouble must be eradicated, and as for the real culprit, it will be left for future investigation.
After making up her mind, Lin Xin'er pretended to think about it, as if she was recalling the situation when she was assassinated, as if she remembered something, and exclaimed, "I remember, when Gonggong Tao pulled out a knife and stabbed me, he said that he wanted to avenge his wife!" β
"Hugh is talking nonsense, framing this official!" Chen Rufeng's face immediately changed, and he scolded angrily.
"Lord Chen thinks that the lady that Gonggong Tao is referring to is Shui Qing?" Lin Xin'er turned her head to look at Chen Rufeng and asked seriously.
"You...... Which lady have you offended? Chen Rufeng was slightly stunned.
"Wasn't that what I was thinking?" Lin Xin'er glanced at Chen Rufeng lightly.
"You said he mentioned Madame?" Ximen Jinglie's eyes shot at Lin Xin'er.
"Yes." Lin Xin'er nodded, "The concubine did remember that Gonggong Tao said so." According to Master Chenβ"
Lin Xin'er turned to Chen Rufeng again, blinked her eyes and said, "The concubine really only offended Mrs. Shuiqing, Mrs. Shuiqing died because of the concubine, and the concubine was punished by the rod and escaped by luck, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not accept it and continue to avenge her." β
"Framed, it is clearly framed, there is no proof of Tao Gonggong's death, let you talk nonsense!" Chen Rufeng's beard trembled.
"The concubine also wants to find out the truth of the victimization, and I implore the emperor to send someone to investigate this case strictly!" Lin Xin'er said and leaned over and kowtowed.
"Privately entering a criminal room to assassinate him, this case is not trivial, and I will never tolerate it." Ximen Jinglie said without hesitation, "Lord Chen, why don't you go to the murder scene with me now and check it yourself?" β
Someone is acting recklessly under his nose, this is never allowed, even if Lin Xin'er does not implead for a strict investigation, he will not let it go.
"Okay, Wechen will follow the emperor to the criminal prison, and hope that the emperor will seek justice for Wechen!" Chen Rufeng also said happily.
"Lord Chen, there is no need to let the emperor go back and forth, isn't the evidence that the assassin has anything to do with you on you?" Lin Xin'er squinted her eyes and glanced at Chen Rufeng lightly.
From the initial speculation to the conclusive evidence of the exit, it was only a moment's work, not only Chen Rufeng couldn't react for a while, but even Ximen Jinglie looked at Chen Rufeng in surprise, I don't know what the evidence Lin Xin'er said?
"You're bleeding!" Chen Rufeng glared at Lin Xin'er angrily, "You can tell me clearly, where is there any evidence related to assassins on this official?" β
Although Chen Rufeng has gone through ups and downs at a great age, ups and downs, and finally stands above the court, it is the first time that he has been framed by a yellow-haired girl, although he really wants Lin Xin'er to die to resist his granddaughter's life, but he thinks that he has never sent a killer to assassinate Lin Xin'er, so he has a clear conscience and is only full of anger.
"Your Majesty, can the concubines get up and go to Lord Chen's side to take a closer look?" Lin Xin'er pleaded with Ximen Jinglie.
"Exactly." Ximen Jinglie said.
"Your Majesty." Lin Xin'er stood up and slowly moved to Chen Rufeng.
Chen Rufeng stood upright proudly, and let Lin Xin'er look left and right, he didn't believe that there was really anything suspicious about him, and he was bluffed by this yellow-haired girl.
"Lord Chen, you have the scent of jasmine flowers on your body." Lin Xin'er stood in front of Chen Rufeng after turning around him, and said, "Coincidentally, I am wearing Gonggong Tao's clothes, and I also have this smell." β
"So what?" Chen Rufeng disagreed, this is the season of blooming flowers, what is strange about inadvertently dying the fragrance of flowers through the flowers?
But Ximen Jinglie's eyes flashed with Lin Xin'er's words, if it was said that it was other floral fragrances, it would not be surprising, but jasmine fragrances were rare. Jasmine comes from Yuehua Kingdom, and there are not many in the entire capital.
If you want to leave the fragrance of flowers on your body, you must stay in the flowers for a long time, and one or two pots planted by yourself will not have such an effect, but the jasmine bush in the imperial garden in the palace can do it, as far as he knows, there is only this jasmine bush in the imperial garden in the capital, or a few years ago, the country of China paid tribute.
