Chapter 54 Trial

Lin Aodong and Lin Aosong both lowered their heads, looking like eggplants hit by frost, almost wilting.

Mrs. Lin’s funeral has not been completed, Lin Chuyao’s suspicion has not been cleared, Lin Chuxuan’s leg has not been treated by a better doctor, and Lin Chusheng and Lin Chuge have not been found.

But now something even bigger happened. Princess Huaian's body was actually found in Lin Chuyan's room, and was caught red-handed by Shen Xuanzhi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, early in the morning.

The Lin family was like a hornet's nest, with troubles constantly happening, almost suffocating the two brothers.

There was still room for mediation in other matters, but in the case of Princess Huai'an, even though they knew that someone might have framed them, they had no way to defend themselves and no way to escape.

Lin Aosong was still beside him, anxiously asking, "Brother, what should we do?"

"The princess died in the Lin family's yard. This is a big deal! If things go wrong, our Lin family will be finished..."

"Brother, please think of a solution! We can't just let others slaughter us like this, right?"

Lin Aodong lowered his head dejectedly, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained. Every step he took was so heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

His eyes were dark, with evil waves rolling in them, as if they were going to swallow people up.

He whispered, "If it really doesn't work, we have to find someone to take the blame so that our Lin family can escape."

"Wasn't Lin Pianran keeping vigil last night? Maybe she took advantage of the night when no one was around to do this evil thing..."

"When you get in front of the Emperor, be smart and follow what I say. We two brothers need to be of one mind and cooperate with each other. In this way, perhaps the Lin family will not be overthrown..."

Lin Aosong understood and nodded in agreement.

Shen Xuanzhi heard every word they said.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in an instant.

Soon, the entire group was taken to Chaoyang Palace.

When everyone entered the hall, a cold and solemn atmosphere hit them in the face.

Everyone was silent, not daring to breathe.

The emperor sat majestically in the main hall.

Crown Prince Huo Yuchen looked frail and sat sickly on a chair on the right. Beside him stood the genius doctor Baili Qingyun.

Concubine De and Princess Minghua have also arrived, and even Lin Pianran has been brought over.

Lin Pianran was standing in a small corner, looking very inconspicuous.

She just wanted to watch the show and didn't want to attract too much attention from others.

Dali Temple Minister Chen Yanshu and Ministry of Justice Minister Wan Moxuan also came and stood on both sides with serious expressions.

After Lin Aodong, Lin Aosong, Zhao Yurou, Lin Chuxi and other members of the Lin family entered the hall, they knelt down without saying anything, and everyone looked dejected.

When Princess Huaian's body was carried into the hall, everyone looked at her intently.

Emperor Wu of Qin slowly walked over from the throne and took a last look at his daughter.

When an elderly person sees a young person die, it is inevitable that he or she will feel sad.

The same was true of Emperor Wu of Qin.

He stared at the corpse for a long time, sighed heavily, and sat back on the dragon throne.

When the body was carried into the hall, Concubine De threw herself on Princess Huaian's body and cried bitterly.

Seeing Princess Huaian's pale and distorted face, her heart felt like a piece was being cut out, causing such severe pain that she almost fainted.

She continued to make heart-wrenching sounds, "My dear... My sweetheart! Who killed you? You died so miserably... Wuuwuwu..."

"Son! What happened? How could you suddenly disappear? How are you going to live as your mother?"

"If you leave like this, aren't you cutting off the flesh of your mother? How can I bear the huge pain of losing my son? My son..."

......

"My son! You can go without worry! Mother and father will do everything they can to find the murderer and will definitely give you justice. We will never let a princess like you die in vain... wuwuwu..."

After she finished speaking, Concubine De threw herself at the emperor's feet, hugged his legs and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, our daughter has been murdered. Please seek justice and catch the murderer! ... You can't let our daughter die so unjustly! ..."

Emperor Wu of Qin suppressed his grief and said, "Get up quickly! You are a concubine, your demeanor should be dignified and elegant. How can you be sobbing like this?"

He looked at Shen Xuanzhi again and asked, "Shen Aiqing, tell me, what happened?"

Shen Xuanzhi stepped forward and knelt to greet him. Emperor Wu of Qin waved his hand and said, "Stand up! No need to be so polite. Please tell me the details of Princess Huai'an!"

Shen Xuanzhi cleared his throat before saying, "This morning, I saw that Madam Zhao Yurou of the Lin family's main house had two maids carrying a sack, and I happened to run into them."

"I went forward to inquire, and Zhao Yurou told me that it was the body of a maid who had died of illness. Later, when they opened the sack, they found that it was actually the body of Princess Huai'an."

"It is said that the body was found next to the bed in Miss Lin San's room, and Miss Lin San herself was unaware of the presence of a body in the room."

"Also, my preliminary investigation revealed that Princess Huai'an was murdered. She was stabbed to death approximately three hours ago, meaning she was killed in the middle of last night."

"Your Majesty, please ask the coroner to conduct another thorough investigation to determine the circumstances of the princess's death."

Emperor Wu of Qin then ordered the coroner and the imperial physician to be called in. They went forward and carefully examined the body, and came to the same conclusion as Shen Xuanzhi.

When Concubine De heard that her daughter had been killed by someone cutting her throat, she was heartbroken and couldn't help crying again, "Your Majesty, our daughter died so tragically. Please catch the murderer and cut him into pieces, otherwise your daughter will not be able to rest in peace..."

Emperor Wu of Qin impatiently tried to stop her from crying endlessly. "You'd better stop crying for now! Save your tears for later! Now let's investigate the cause of Huai'an's death first. Can't you tell the difference between the important and the unimportant? What's the point of just crying?"

Empress Defei stopped crying immediately and stood by, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Emperor Wu of Qin looked at the kneeling Lin family members and angrily asked, "Lord Lin, please explain to me what exactly happened. Why did my daughter die in your daughter's room?"

At this time, Lin Pianran raised her cold eyes and looked at everyone in the Lin family, feeling extremely happy.

The Lin family has finally been put in a difficult situation, and it remains to be seen how they can escape from this predicament!

hey-hey.
