Chapter 86: Chen Rufeng commits suicide in fear of sin
"What are the arrangements of the young palace master?" Xingyao asked.
"I plan to investigate Mo Yaxuan first, but Mo Yaxuan is an extremely secret place for Ximen Jingxuan, and it is difficult for me to investigate deeply with him." Lin Xin'er said, "So I'm going to try to lure Ximen Jingxuan away." ”
"I would like to listen to the arrangement of the young palace master." Xingyao and Yueyao arched their hands in unison.
Lin Xin'er said, "You go to the Taishi's Mansion and try to tie up Lin Ke'er." ”
"Kidnapping the second miss?" Yue Yao was a little surprised, the young palace master had been in the Taishi Mansion for so many years, and he had never done anything to Lin Ke'er after being wronged, but this time he actually gave such an order.
"Yes, kidnapping Lin Ke'er will make my father helpless, and Ximen Jingxuan will definitely take action." Lin Xin'er said with certainty, with Ximen Jingxuan's concern for Lin Ke'er, he wouldn't care, when he left the palace to find Lin Ke'er, she could search Mo Yaxuan to the bottom.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Yueyao Xingyao arched her hand and said, although they didn't understand the relationship between Ximen Jingxuan and Lin Ke'er, they only obeyed the orders of the palace master.
In fact, Lin Keer may not know that Ximen Jingxuan has an incomprehensible feeling about her, this feeling makes Lin Xin'er also curious, but it definitely exists, so you might as well use it.
After Yueyao Xingyao left, Yan'er also came back from dinner, and as soon as she saw Lin Xin'er, she couldn't help but talk about what she had just heard.
"Miss, you know what? The slave maid went to the dining room just now, and heard that Chen Shangshu committed suicide in fear of crime last night, and was found hanging on the beam of the study early in the morning, and died early. Yan'er said in a very exaggerated tone, "I heard that the prince has rushed to Shangshu Mansion." ”
"Chen Rufeng committed suicide?" When Lin Xin'er heard the news, the first thing she thought of was that she could never be trusted, Chen Rufeng, who had been trained for many years, should be a stubborn old man who would never commit suicide to end his life.
"yes!" Yan'er nodded, "The slave maid was really surprised when she heard it, but I heard that it was Chen Shangshu who was discovered by the emperor with strange thoughts in the center of the palace, and was first dismissed from office, and then his deeds were exposed, and he ruined his reputation, so he left a suicide note and hanged himself." ”
Early in the morning, the news spread really fast. Lin Xin'er smiled secretly, remembering that she saw a secret envoy go to see Ximen Jingxuan last night, and now she thinks that it has something to do with it, and the news spread so quickly, that is, in order to let people know about this matter as quickly as possible, the rumors that were deliberately spread.
Ximen Jingxuan, who knew how to grasp the opportunity, took advantage of the victory to pursue after learning about the situation Chen Rufeng was facing, and made a false impression of suicide for Chen Rufeng, so that it was effortless and did not need to alarm the court to announce the verdict, Chen Rufeng was easily eliminated, including his old bottoms who were tabooed by Ximen Jingxuan, and they were destroyed together.
Lin Xin'er once again saw that under the indifferent appearance, Ximen Jingxuan's heart was ruthless, he thought that people who could no longer be used, or people who were easy to bury hidden dangers in the future, he would remove them without leaving a trace.
Perhaps this is the method of dealing with things that are different from ordinary people possessed by people who shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the country, and there is no room for any affection and sloppiness.
Thinking of this, Lin Xin'er was a little shocked, today's Taishi Mansion is a high authority in the eyes of Ximen Jingxuan, this is not the status that a person with a foreign surname should have, I don't know if it will end up like Shangshufu in the future, or it is not as good as Chen Rufeng?
Although Lin Bo was very cold to Lin Xin'er and didn't give her any fatherly love, the fact that the father-daughter relationship is thicker than water cannot be erased, even if she doesn't care about Liu Suixiang, the third mother, Lin Xin'er will care about her father's safety.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?" Yan'er saw that Lin Xin'er hadn't spoken for a long time, so she hurriedly shouted.
"Oh, it's fine." Lin Xin'er came back to her senses and shook her head, "I'm just sighing about Chen Shangshu and Mrs. Shui Qing." ”
The imperial court is really not something that can be touched, in order to achieve the desired goal, anyone can become a chess piece, and anyone will go from prosperity to decline overnight, and get an unexpected tragic ending. In fact, in all things, there is no obvious right or wrong at all, and the only judgment is power.
"Forget it, miss, don't mention them, you have also been harmed by them." As she spoke, she took the food out of the basket and laid it out on the broken table.
Looking at the usual three dishes and one soup, Lin Xin'er smiled, Ximen Jingxuan was not careful, and he didn't cut off his food.
"Yan'er, eat with me." Lin Xin'er sat on the edge of the bed, picked up chopsticks on the table, and greeted Yan'er, they used to eat together, but when they arrived at the Xuanwang Mansion out of taboo, they recovered to the beginning, and when she finished eating, Yan'er ate, but now that she was driven to this broken house, she didn't have to pay so much attention to it.
"Miss, when will you be able to move back to Plum Blossom Garden?" Yan'er sat next to her, still hopeful.
Lin Xin'er ate and did not answer. How could she tell Yan'er in person that she meant to come here? If you can't stay here, it's time to leave King Xuan's mansion.
The news of Chen Rufeng's suicide reached the palace, there was a suicide note, the fact of suicide, and the previous matter about jasmine fragrance, Chen Rufeng's ironclad evidence of suspicion was like a mountain, and the reason for committing suicide in fear of crime also existed, the ministers couldn't say anything, and Ximen Jinglie didn't say anything more, although he was an important minister of the court, since he died, he lost any meaning, for the king of a dynasty, it was imperative to elect new officials to take over the affairs and ensure that the affairs of the court were not chaotic.
But Queen Jiang Ziyin is still thinking about Chen Rufeng, after all, she doesn't understand Chen Rufeng's true scheming to support the prince, and all she sees is Chen Rufeng's heart for the prince, and he is an important member of the princeling.
"Are you saying that Chen Shangshu's death is related to Lin Xin'er?" Jiang Ziyin listened to Mrs. Zhiqi's words and asked suspiciously.
Mrs. Zhiqi, as Jiang Ziyin's personal maid before her, was licensed by the queen before she got married, and if she wanted to enter the palace, she could go at any time, and the queen's Jinhuayuan was her maiden home.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhiqi, who was bored in the Xuan Palace, felt that her frightened body had recovered a little, so she entered the palace and came to Jiang Ziyin. After all, outsiders know that Mrs. Shui Qing was beaten to death at the instigation of Lin Xin'er.
And Mrs. Zhiqi inadvertently mentioned the situation of Lin Xin'er she saw while speaking, she also received thirty boards, Mrs. Shuiqing died, but Lin Xin'er was still able to move from Plum Blossom Ting to a side house in the backyard in the middle of the night.
This makes people wonder about the real situation of Lin Xin'er's cane reprimand, thinking of her background, and having doubts about Chen Rufeng's death.
