Chapter 157 Lin Ruhai: Wang Ziteng, you are my foot
When the court officials heard this, they all looked at Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng's face froze. His daughter had only gone out twice, and she was seen like this? Idiot!
He took a look at the Holy Spirit and immediately denied it, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. My daughter is young and stays at home all day. I have been very strict with her. This will never happen!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, these are already very strict restrictions, are we being too harsh on you?" An official immediately jumped out, and when he saw that it was the Minister of Rites, Wang Ziteng was stunned.
He had a glimmer of hope no matter who he was, but he was really afraid of the Ministry of Etiquette.
He bent down and said, "It's just a child's nonsense. I will strictly manage the household when I go back. It will not cause trouble for you adults."
Who knew that the Minister of Rites had not intended to let Wang Ziteng off? "A child's nonsense? Do you admit it?"
"You're still saying that. Not only did you harm the heir to the throne, you're also trying to harm the crown prince of a country!"
Who can stop such a big hat from being put on you?
The prince's knees went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud, "It's unfair! I didn't do it!"
"No? If not, why did your daughter participate in the talent show last year, postponed due to illness, and now she wants to go to the Prince's Mansion again?"
Or maybe there was an Empress Dowager last year, but this year the Empress Dowager has no time to spare.
Wang Ziteng didn't dare to say this at all. "She is really sick. It is common for children to take water. If Lord Cui believes it, you can check the records of my daughter's medical consultation. As for this year... it's just a kid's nonsense."
Although Wang Ziteng's words were addressed to the Minister of Rites, his eyes were looking at Sheng Wo, reminding Sheng Wo that if his daughter's reputation was established, the prince's reputation would also be damaged. The daughter's reputation was a small matter, but the prince's was a big matter, which was in the interests of the country!
He believed that His Majesty would allow people to slander the prince, so he insisted that it was just a child's nonsense, which was also a way of surrendering to His Majesty.
Sheng Wo smiled and said, "Some time ago, I said I would give your daughter a marriage. Are you saying that she is already married?"
Wang Ziteng's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! What a pity! I forgot about this!
"If you want to reply to Saint 껗, I will definitely come."
"Yes...it's the Jia family's treasure..."
Wang Ziteng was speechless and had to push the blame on the dead Baoyu, crying two tears as he spoke.
I thought this matter was over, but Lin Ruhai said coldly, "Then your family tradition is really wrong."
Sure enough, the sound of contempt rang in Wang Ziteng's ears one after another. Looking at the look in Sheng Rou's eyes, which was icy cold, Wang Ziteng was paralyzed. He had made a wrong move!
It should be said that he was with Baoyu. He wanted to die without any evidence, but he forgot that the relationship was complicated. He admitted that his daughter was engaged to Baoyu, which meant that he had embezzled the money used to repair the house of the Jia family. It was also an indirect admission that he had deceived the emperor and murdered the royal heir. The girl was engaged but she seduced the heir to the throne!
These words have now become his death warrant!
Sure enough, after a second, the saint said, "Humph, what a crime of deceiving the emperor. Prince Teng, are you assuming that I know everything in the palace?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty...your Majesty..." Prince Teng was speechless and paralyzed. He regretted that he had agreed to your Majesty's offer of marriage earlier!
"Take him away, including the Jia family case!"
Prince Teng turned pale. He had never expected that His Majesty would convict him for this matter. For a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But seeing Lin Ruhai standing aside with an expressionless face, he suddenly thought of something, pointed at Lin Ruhai and laughed, "It's you, you're the one who hurt me!"
Lin Ruhai looked at Wang Ziteng as if he were a fool and said, "Are you sick?"
Prince Teng was not sure why and said, "You are unlucky in marriage!"
After saying this, he saw Lin Ruhai's eyes blazing with anger, and he raised his fist and went to punch him.
"Master Lin, please help!" Everyone rushed forward to pull him, but they didn't know what was going on. The person they were stepping on was Wang Ziteng, and the person they were pressing with their hands was also Wang Ziteng, but their hands and feet were a little heavier.
By the time the guards arrived and persuaded the ministers to leave, an adult lying on the ground had already had a bruised face and nose.
The courtiers looked at the sky, looked at the sky; those who looked at the wicked looked at the wicked; but they looked at Prince Teng who stood up after being stepped on.
"Yeah, that's very nice of you."
Lin Ruhai took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then walked in front of Wang Ziteng and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Lin Ruhai immediately withdrew his foot from Wang Ziteng's hand, "You seem to be restraining my foot!"
Holy 껗? ?
This reason is not wrong, but it is still as serious as his crime of deceiving the king.
However, what Wang Ziteng said was indeed false. It was Lin Ruhai who suggested that he arrange a marriage for Wang Ziteng's daughter. Now he had achieved two goals at one stroke.
"Resign."
Sheng Yi quickly announced his retirement, otherwise Lin Ruhai would not know which eminent monk to ask him for.
He had heard about his wife's illness a long time ago. Even the imperial physicians couldn't help her. What could he do? He even asked the monks to help him find a cure, but he couldn't find any...
He gave away gold, silver, treasures, precious medicinal materials, even ginseng and snow lotus that were several hundred years old, but it was useless. He was reluctant to give them up, but the imperial physician said that it really had no effect. Was it a waste...
"Holy 껗!"
Sheng 껗's steps paused, haha...
"When, my dear?"
Lin Ruhai looked sad, tears welled up in his eyes, and he kowtowed, saying, "I... want something this time."
Sheng Wo looked at Lin Ruhai's condition and heard that he wanted something, so his tone softened, "My dear, who do you want this time? I will ask someone to get it for you."
Lin Ruhai sniffed and said, "I want things and people. I want to take a half-year vacation."
Half a year?
Sheng 껗 pondered for a moment, "Maybe a month, I will continue to look for the person you want for you."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he burst into tears of joy and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Then he stood up and said to Sheng Wo, "I would also like a bowl of lotus root from the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden."
The courtiers who haven't left yet??? Are you saying that you want something?
Who knew that the lotus pond in the imperial garden was carefully nurtured by Sheng Wo for many years, and only five flowers bloomed last year. Sheng Wo even held a banquet for this occasion and swore that he would definitely bloom five more flowers next year.
Now Lin Ruhai wants the lotus root silk from the pond? This means pulling out the lotus roots, extracting the silk, and asking for a bowl?
On the surface, she wants the lotus root silk, but secretly she wants the tip of your Majesty's heart!
Everyone looked at Lin Ruhai with a hint of affection. Although Lin Ruhai was deeply indebted to the Holy Saint, this was too much!
The second day, the Snow Lotus Queen gritted her teeth and gave it to him. This time... I guess the leave will be granted, and I will probably become neighbors with Wang Ziteng.
Sheng 껗 felt his head buzzing, as if he wanted to drag Lin Ruhai out and chop him up!
That's his favorite thing!
A bowl? That's a bowl of lotus root!
Sheng's eyes swept back and forth over Lin Ruhai, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want my lotus root silk for!"
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai covered his heart, knelt down, and tears flowed before he said a word. A deep sorrow emanated from his heart.
This made everyone worried. Why did Lin Ruhai risk his life to get the lotus root silk?
