Chapter 238 I am the biological father of the Xiliang Princess. You can’t treat me like this.
After hearing Lin Siqiong's words, Prime Minister Wen's expression did not change, but there was a slight glimmer in his eyes.
Prime Minister Wen waited quietly for a long time. Seeing that Lin Siqiong had calmed down a little, he asked, "So, you have always known your mother-in-law's identity? And you also know your own identity?"
Lin Siqiong sneered, full of self-mockery, "Do you think I would still stay here if I knew?"
As long as she goes back, she will be a royal daughter and may even inherit the throne.
If you stay here, you will only become a prisoner.
Even when she was not a prisoner before, she was just the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion who was not legitimate, and she could only find ways to make her daughter get close to the prince.
But now think about it, even if Lin Ruoli really became the Crown Princess, so what?
Even if Chu Huaixu ascends the throne in the future and makes Lin Ruoli the queen, what would happen?
After all, she can only live in the harem and depend on the emperor's mood.
But if he goes back to Xiliang, he can truly become the one in power.
Comparing the two, who would choose to stay in Dayong?
She stayed in Dayong only because her mother-in-law never told her anything from beginning to end.
Although she had doubts before, wondering if she was her mother-in-law's daughter, she even mustered up the courage to ask.
But she will never forget the look her mother-in-law gave her at that time.
There was contempt in the calmness.
That look was like looking at some dirty thing that didn't know its own limitations.
Even though so much time has passed, she still remembers that look clearly.
It was because of this look that she felt that there was no blood relationship between her and her mother-in-law, but the facts slapped her in the face.
She is actually my mother-in-law’s daughter!
But why did her mother-in-law treat her like this?
Prime Minister Wen originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but after seeing Lin Siqiong crying and laughing, he swallowed the questions that were on his lips.
Just looking at Lin Siqiong's expression, you can tell that there is definitely nothing you can get out of her.
Lin Siqiong has become an abandoned child.
After a brief thought, Prime Minister Wen asked his final question, "Why did the Supervisor help you? Was it because of your mother-in-law?"
This concerns whether the Supervisor has betrayed Dayong. This question must be asked!
After asking this question, Prime Minister Wen waited anxiously for Lin Siqiong, wanting to see her subconscious reaction.
What you say may be deceiving, but your subconscious reactions may not be.
Lin Siqiong slowly raised her head with a meaningful smile on her face, "Guess!"
Prime Minister Wen stared at Lin Siqiong's face for a while, then decisively looked away.
He said nothing, turned around and left.
When the four guards holding lanterns saw Prime Minister Wen leaving, they hurried to follow him.
Seeing them walking away and the light fading away with them, Lin Siqiong hurriedly crawled forward, holding on to the iron fence tightly with both hands.
"Don't go! Don't go!"
"Come back! I have something to ask you!"
"As long as you answer my questions, I will tell you everything you want to know!"
Deep in the silent dungeon, Lin Siqiong's voice continued to echo.
But no matter how she shouted, no one responded.
Soon, the corridor became pitch black.
Prime Minister Wen and his entourage have already left.
Looking at the dark corridor, Lin Siqiong seemed to have all her strength drained away and slowly fell to the ground.
Her tears were still flowing, but her eyes were filled with more than just sadness, but also unwillingness...
In terms of bloodline, she is purer than Lin Ruoli.
But why...why did the mother-in-law choose Lin Ruoli instead of her?
As much as Lin Siqiong loved her daughter Lin Ruoli in the past, she is now jealous and...hateful.
-
Prime Minister Wen led his men up one floor, but did not leave the dungeon directly. Instead, they went to the door of another cell.
Imprisoned in this cell is Shen Qingmo, Lin Ruoli's biological father.
This former upstart of the court no longer had the grace, elegance and handsomeness he once had.
After being locked up in the dark dungeon for such a long time and undergoing repeated interrogations, Shen Qingmo's prison uniform is now extremely dirty and his hair is as messy as straw.
Through his messy hair, you can vaguely see his pale, thin and bearded face.
No matter who sees such a person, there is no way to connect him with the former Lord Shen.
Shen Qingmo naturally saw Prime Minister Wen standing at the door of the cell, but his eyes were very calm and he was even too lazy to get up.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will never be able to get out in this life and may die at any time.
Anyway, he would die sooner or later, so there was no need to kowtow to Prime Minister Wen.
Wen Shoufu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Shen Qingmo calmly, "It seems that you have accepted your fate."
"Heh." Chen Qingmo sneered, "I don't want to accept my fate, but what's the use? Could it be that Prime Minister Cheng Wen can show mercy and ask the emperor to release me?"
"Of course I can't. But if you can hold on and stay alive, you'll be able to hold on until someone comes to rescue you!"
Shen Qingmo didn't take this seriously at all, "Who else can come to save me?"
There was no one from the Shen family, and the people from the Lin family were all imprisoned like him.
etc!
Lin Yu was released!
And his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin, is also outside!
Could it be that the two of them went to Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning to plead for mercy?
Joy instantly surged in his heart, making Shen Qingmo excited.
But soon, Shen Qingmo shook his head again.
impossible.
He knew something about Madam Lin and Lin Yu. They probably wouldn't be so embarrassed as to ask Yu Tingwan and her daughter for help.
Even if they did go, it might not be of any use.
Not them!
Then who else?
Could it be that...
"Is it Li'er?" Shen Qingmo was very excited. "Did Li'er get the favor of the prince? Did Li'er beg the prince to let me go?"
As he asked this, Shen Qingmo excitedly rushed to the door, holding the iron fence tightly with both hands, no longer showing his previous indifferent look.
This shows that he doesn't care.
I'm just pretending not to care!
Now that I hear there is a chance to go out, I can no longer pretend.
Wen Shoufu smiled silently. "Answer me a question, and I'll answer your previous question. How about that?"
Shen Qingmo looked at Wen Shoufu suspiciously, "Are you deliberately lying to me just to make me answer your questions?"
"It's all right for you to doubt me like that," said Prime Minister Wen. "But this opportunity only comes once, and you're not the only one who can answer my question. If you don't cherish it, then I'll have no choice but to go find Lin Siqiong."
Shen Qingmo's expression changed instantly.
When he thought of Lin Siqiong, he wanted to kill that woman!
If he hadn't married Lin Siqiong, how could he have fallen to this point?
With his own abilities, even if he couldn't be promoted so quickly, he would take every step steadily and would never fall from a rising star in the court to a prisoner.
All this is Lin Siqiong's fault!
Now that he finally has the chance to go out, he will definitely not give this opportunity to Lin Siqiong!
"Ask!" Shen Qingmo gritted his teeth and said, "Minister Wen, you are the Prime Minister after all, you will definitely not do anything that goes back on your word, right?"
In response to Shen Qingmo's words, Wen Shoufu smiled without saying anything, and directly asked his own question, "In the past, besides you and Lin Siqiong, were there any other people who bribed the Supervisor?"
"Others?" Shen Qingmo looked puzzled. "What others?"
Shen Qingmo's expression didn't seem fake.
Or there really isn't such a person.
Or, even Shen Qingmo didn't know.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Prime Minister Wen was not very disappointed.
He had already thought of this outcome long before he came.
He came here to meet these two people and asked this question just by chance.
When it’s time to do it, it’s almost done.
Seeing that Prime Minister Wen didn't speak, Shen Qingmo immediately became anxious, "Prince Wen, I have already answered all the questions you asked me. Can you answer my questions now? You just said that someone will come to save me in the future. Is that person my daughter Li'er?"
I have never seen Shen Qingmo care about Lin Ruoli before. When they met occasionally, he would scold her endlessly.
Now that he knew that Lin Ruoli might be able to save his life, he even changed his way of addressing her!
This person is really realistic!
"Yes, it's her." Prime Minister Wen gave the answer.
Chen Qingmo laughed instantly, "I knew it! I knew that Li'er was so good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't possibly dislike her!"
Hearing this, Prime Minister Wen immediately shook his head. "You misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Lin Ruoli has already been taken to Xiliang. Today, the Emperor of Xiliang is going to confer the title of Crown Princess on her. If all goes well, after she becomes the Crown Princess, she will definitely come to Dayong to take you and Lin Siqiong away."
This series of words was a huge shock to Shen Qingmo.
"What are you talking about? How could Li'er be related to Xiliang? And how could she be crowned as the Crown Princess? Doesn't that mean she will become the Empress in the future?"
Shen Qingmo kept asking questions, his mind spinning rapidly.
Soon, Shen Qingmo thought of the reasons and possibilities.
"Lin Siqiong, is she the illegitimate daughter of the Xiliang Emperor?"
"How is this possible?"
"Since she was from the Xiliang royal family, why didn't they take her away before? Why was Li'er given the title instead of her?"
"No! Feng Li'er is still better!"
There was no longer any affection between him and Lin Siqiong. If Lin Siqiong were the one to take the position, he would definitely not get any benefits and might even be humiliated by her.
But Lin Ruoli is his daughter!
Over the years, Lin Ruoli has always longed for his father's care.
When Lin Ruoli has the ability, she will definitely take him, her biological father, away!
Not only does he not have to die, he can even go one step further and be more successful than ever before!
Just thinking about it, Shen Qingmo's face flushed with excitement.
"Quick! Let me out! Let me out now! I am the biological father of the Xiliang Crown Princess. You can't treat me like this!"
