Chapter 289: The Court's Discussion
Secretly hated Lu Xian's cunning, but Lin Qingwan still didn't give up, she looked at Lu Xian and said, "Since the prince admits that he has been wronged, since this is the case, why don't you ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of this matter and return your innocence?"
Aren't you wronged, since you are wronged, you should want to know the truth, instead of covering up the truth many times, you have a good plan, and I have also had a wall ladder.
As soon as Lin Qingjuan's words came out, the discussion among the ministers was even more boiling, Lu Xian's approach was too much of a thief's heart, according to common sense, if someone was wronged, he would definitely want to find out the facts and prove his innocence, although Lu Xian had been shouting injustice, he was preventing Emperor Dongjia from going down to a thorough investigation.
Thinking of this, the doubts in everyone's hearts were even worse, they had almost decided that the Chu Mansion was innocent, they had been officials for more than ten years, and they would not even be able to see such a little strangeness.
What's more, the murder case in Chu Mansion was reported by the King of Beiding, and then he was convicted and convicted, thinking about it back and forth, no matter who he was on, all the ministers thought that Lu Xian was the most suspicious, and Chu Mansion was wronged.
The imagination of these courtiers is also not to be underestimated, and when they talk about this, they begin to trace Lu Xian's motives for framing the Chu family.
Some people say that Mrs. Chu's maiden sister was once the side concubine of the king of Beiding, but this side concubine was not liked by the king of Beiding, and was later abandoned back to the Lin Mansion, so the king of Beiding was very disgusted with the Lin Mansion, and naturally became angry with the Chu family who ended up in-law with the Lin family.
Some people also say that the king of Beiding had an interest in Mrs. Chu, but by mistake this Lin family married into the Chu family, the king of Beiding begged but couldn't, so he had to retreat and marry the Lin family's sister-in-law, but the misfortune after this marriage was still blamed on the Chu family.
What's even more outrageous, some people say that this matter has nothing to do with the fourth lady of the Lin family, and what King Beiding did was to avenge Chu Fuyan's hatred of polygamy, so the entire Chu family was implicated.
Emperor Dongjia sat on the dragon throne, so he naturally couldn't hear what the ministers were discussing, but Lu Xian heard all these gossips in his ears, and couldn't help but secretly scold Lin Qingjuan, a woman, for being vicious.
At this time, Lu Xian finally understood that Lin Qinghuan would never give up if he didn't pull him into the water today, but at the same time he was a little puzzled, the Chu family had no skills to return to heaven, but his father did not even have a daughter, if Lin Qinghuan stayed in the Chu Mansion obediently, he could still save his life.
She is now running to make a big fuss in the court, don't say that she can't save the Chu family, even if the Chu family is wronged, her behavior today is a capital crime.
But no matter what it is for, Lin Qingjuan's purpose today is absolutely impossible to achieve.
Because Lu Xian is not a soft persimmon, let alone being fiddled with by a woman, he got up from the ground and stepped forward, Lu Xian sneered at Lin Qinghuan, "Lin Qingxuan, don't you think that this hall belongs to your Chu family, you can do whatever you want, what you say by a crazy woman, it is difficult to become a father and the emperor must be taken into account!
Lin Qingwan immediately retorted, "Why does the prince bother to talk about him left and right, isn't the prince a thief who hides the truth like this?"
trespassed into the court, sued the prince, and now she is so rude in front of Emperor Dongjia, Lin Qingjuan no longer takes this life in her eyes, she now just wants to do everything she can to make Emperor Dongjia take back her life, and she will take the lives of everyone in the Chu family, if she can exchange for a truth, it is worth it even if she dies in this hall today.
"Ignorant woman, stop talking to this king!" Lin Qingwan poked at Lu Xian's shortcomings every sentence, he was angry, pointed at Lin Qingwan and said, "This is the court, the place of deliberations, this king will not argue with you!"
He said that he didn't argue, but his eyes were already red, and everyone shook their heads secretly in their hearts when they saw Lu Xian's appearance, whether this King of Beiding was innocent or not, this style was really ugly, and the dignified son was so disrespectful, even worse than the woman of the Lin family.
"The concubine body is not arguing today, but shouting injustice, the evidence is here, the concubine body only wants to seek justice for her husband's family, and has no other intentions. Speaking of this, Lin Qingwan turned to Emperor Dongjia again, knelt down upright, and said, "The concubine only asks His Majesty to take back the order of beheading, and thoroughly investigate this matter, if the Chu family is wronged by Zhaoxue, and trespass into the court today, the concubine is willing to apologize with death!"
Although Lu Xian is angry, he is still sensible, he is now pulling around, it seems that he is quarreling with Lin Qingjuan, but in fact he is delaying time, if the execution of the father and son of the Chu family is completed, it will be in vain for Lin Qinghuan to say anything, and Emperor Dongjia will definitely not overturn the case for the Chu family for Lin Qinghuan, the surviving person.
Lin Qingwan also noticed this, so he didn't argue with him more, but continued to beg Emperor Dongjia to order the case to be reversed and the murder in Chu Mansion to be thoroughly investigated.
It's just that her words sound like a pleading, but in fact they have a deep meaning, Emperor Dongjia never asked about the crime, but Lin Qingwan said that he was willing to apologize with death, which was clearly using her life to persecute Emperor Dongjia.
Emperor Dongjia has the best face, if this matter spreads, the people will definitely think that Emperor Dongjia is cruel and unreasonable in order to not investigate the wrongs, and even force innocent female relatives to death.
Lin Qingwan forced each other to die, and Emperor Dongjia was difficult to ride a tiger for a while, if he rejected Lin's request today, it would be a loss of the reputation of a virtuous monarch, which was definitely not what he wanted.
Lu Xian glared at Lin Qingwan fiercely, his gaze seemed to nail Lin Qingwan to the ground, "Bold, you dare to openly blackmail your father, Lin, you are really monarchless and vulgar!"
Lin Qingwan asked Emperor Dongjia to investigate thoroughly, Emperor Dongjia didn't say anything, but Lu Xian jumped out and intervened, if it was usual, he would definitely not be so rude, but if he compromised today, he would be sent to the guillotine.
Lu Xian didn't give up, Lin Qingwan turned his head to meet his gaze, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "If you seek justice for your husband, you will be vulgar without a monarch, and the concubine will admit it!"
"That's enough, stop me!"
Seeing that the two of them regarded the court as a random place, they quarreled, and Emperor Dongjia angrily stopped the two.
Although he was angry with what Lu Xian did today, Lu Xian was his prince after all, and the ministers would inevitably think of him in his words and deeds, so Lu Xian quarreled with a woman here, and he lost his face.
The goal he wanted has been achieved, the evidence has been made public, and the mouth of Youyou is already difficult to block, and Emperor Dongjia has been forced to ride a tiger, and he will not give up on this matter for the sake of face, Lin Qingwan obediently shut his mouth and no longer provoked the majesty of Emperor Dongjia.
Lu Xian looked like he was obedient to his father's orders, and immediately said respectfully to Emperor Dongjia, "The son has been wronged, and his heart is anxious, and he hopes that his father will forgive him for his loss of honor in front of the palace." ”
When he admitted his mistake, Emperor Dongjia's face improved a lot, and he glanced at Lin Qingwan again, and said, "Come on, put the Lin family in prison, and wait for the fate." ”
Lin Qingjuan was shocked in his heart, the matter has come to this, could it be that Emperor Dongjia still wants to protect Lu Xian, although losing Lu Xian's face can be regarded as slapping Emperor Dongjia in the face, but could it be that Emperor Dongjia doesn't care about the thoughts of the courtiers? She has come up with evidence today!
Emperor Dongjia gave an order, Lu Xian breathed a sigh of relief again, his palms were already soaked with sweat, if there was a little chance today, his father and emperor would miss a thought, he was afraid that he would be doomed.
In Lu Xian's heart, this group of courtiers saw the wind and steered, so naturally they would not easily go up to investigate this matter thoroughly to offend him, whether what the Lin family said could be thoroughly investigated, it was all in the mind of Emperor Dongjia, as long as Emperor Dongjia was angry with Lin Qingjuan, he would definitely put Lin Qingjuan to death.
As long as Lin Qingwan is dead, Emperor Dongjia will inquire about it in the future, and Lu Xian will naturally have a thousand ways to escape his guilt, but the premise of all this is that Emperor Dongjia is angry with Lin Qingjuan.
Thinking that Emperor Dongjia listened to Faluo's order, Lu Xian couldn't help but feel a little regretful, just listening to Faluo, instead of going to death row, it seems that he still can't take it lightly, if necessary, even if he directly solves Lin Qingwan in the prison, he can't let her speak again.
Lin Qingwan was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, but he heard a clear voice and said, "Your Majesty, slow down, Weichen Yuzhi has something to play!"
Before Yuzhi followed Lin Qingwan into the hall, he stood aside after saluting, and he didn't mean to participate in this matter, everyone's attention was on Lin Qingwan, so they naturally ignored him.
Yuzhi didn't speak, it wasn't that he didn't help Lin Qingwan, but he understood that there were some things that only Lin Qingwan could do by himself, and no matter how much others said, it was useless.
But at this time, Emperor Dongjia wants to take Lin Qingwan into the prison, Yuzhi can only stand up, if Lin Qinghuan is pressed down, then the father and son of the Chu family will definitely die, so no matter what, he has to stand up and help Lin Qingwan again, now that the death is undecided, there is still a glimmer of life, it is worth him to fight for his future.
As soon as Yuzhi said this, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at him, only to see Yuzhi dressed in a formal suit, and he didn't know when he was already standing in the center of the hall, bending down, and bowing to Emperor Dongjia.
Lu Xian's heart that had just been put down was brought up again, he was annoyed and angry, hating Yu Zhi for meddling in things, and said directly to Yu Zhi regardless of it, "This court, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to interject indiscriminately?"
Although Yuzhi's interjection was a little inappropriate, Lu Xian's words and deeds were inevitably too mean, which was very different from the usual cautious etiquette, and the ministers couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the appearance of the king of Beiding was usually pretended?
The eyes of everyone looking at Lu Xian had changed, but Lu Xian didn't notice it, only staring at Yuzhi, just like staring at Lin Qingwan's murderous eyes, wanting to cut Yuzhi with a thousand knives.
But Yuzhi didn't squint, and looked at Emperor Dongjia upright, looking respectful.
Compared with the two, the courtiers already have a plan in their hearts, and the king of Beiding, as a prince, is not as good as a courtier, which is really unbearable.
Yuzhi's move is indeed clever, in the face of Lu Xian's questioning, he didn't say a word, and it even set off Lu Xian like a clown jumping off the beam, showing his ugliness and losing face.
Seeing that he ignored himself, Lu Xian was even more annoyed, "You dare to ignore this king and despise the royal family, you deserve death, come and pull this chaotic minister and thief down with a thousand knives!"
One of the two knelt on the ground upright, and the other was as unrelenting as a clown jumping off the beam, and he wanted to cross the Dongjia Emperor to give an order, and cut people with a thousand knives for no reason, and the disdain in everyone's eyes when they looked at Lu Xian could not be hidden.
