Chapter 254 Release
Cheng Maoming's eyes were glued to the painting: "Is this Mr. Fox?"
It looks ordinary.
Minister Shen on the side reminded: "This is the disguised face, not the real appearance."
Cheng Maoming glanced at Minister Shen, his voice slightly dissatisfied: "I know."
The villain still needs this old man to remind him of what he said? It makes Prince Jing think that he is not smart.
Minister Shen: “…” What’s with General Cheng’s sudden pettiness?
Qi Shuo looked at the person in the portrait and said, "Although it may be a disguise, it is not without value. The thin mask fits the human face perfectly. If he is using the same mask, his face shape should be like this."
Lin Hao stared at the portrait intently, his heart far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.
She had actually seen this person before!
The days she spent with Master Mingxin were the closest she had ever been to Emperor Le. Even though those people were wary of her, living in the center of the vortex meant she'd always see certain people and hear certain things.
This person was the one she happened to see with Emperor Pingle.
Although she had only met him that once, she was deeply impressed by Emperor Pingle's respectful attitude towards the wise and the humble.
It turns out that this person is Mr. Fox.
Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that Emperor Pingle was so polite to this man. A master of disguise who can create exquisite masks is of immeasurable value, and recent events have undoubtedly proved this point.
She was sure that this was not the only time Mr. Fox had used someone else's trick.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao stretched out his hand and hovered above the scroll.
"Second Miss Lin?" Cheng Maoming was puzzled by Lin Hao's actions.
"Look at the lower half of this person's face. Isn't it similar to the one in the previous painting?"
Cheng Maoming raised an eyebrow. "Miss Lin, that's a good reminder. Prince, did you put away that portrait?"
"Um."
"Which time?" Minister Shen asked in confusion.
Why are these three people still playing guessing games?
Cheng Maoming glanced at him and said with a smug tone, "He was the one who gave Yu Liu the mask. The prince listened to the gardener's description and drew a man wearing a bamboo hat, but unfortunately his face was not shown."
Minister Shen's eyes lit up slightly: "If these two people are the same person, then we can be sure that this villain is a remnant of the previous dynasty."
"Prince, is the portrait still there?"
"It's still there." Qi Shuo sent the servant back to the palace to get the portrait.
He still remembered every word the gardener had said about the flower, and could paint a picture right away. However, it had been a while since the painting was done, and it was a very important matter, so there was no need to be overconfident.
The portrait was quickly brought in and laid out on the table alongside the newly painted one.
After a careful comparison, several people came to the same conclusion: at least the face shape is the same.
"This person can change his appearance at any time. Just based on this, it is extremely difficult to find him." Minister Shen sighed.
"Go to the palace first and report to the emperor."
Hearing what Cheng Maoming said, Qi Shuo said, "Then let's go back first."
"I'm sorry to bother you again today, Prince." Cheng Maoming bowed.
On the way out together, he wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, glancing at Minister Shen but still held back.
I really want to tell the prince what I found out from the interrogation, but it's not convenient to do it in front of Minister Shen. Forget it, I'll talk to him when I get back.
On the way back, Lin Hao frowned slightly and told Qi Shuo what she had discovered: "A Shuo, I have met this Mr. Fox once. He should be a very important person on the side of Emperor Pingle."
Qi Shuo paused: "So, this is the face he uses most often in front of people he trusts, or even his real appearance."
Lin Hao nodded slightly. "That's very likely, but the person who poisoned the prince has been apprehended. He'll definitely change his demeanor once he hears the news."
The cool breeze blew on his face, making Qi Shuo's mind clearer. "This person has at least two faces in the capital. The one he appears to ordinary people must be another one, and he has a reliable identity that can avoid the inspection of officials from all sides."
After walking for a while in silence, Lin Hao mentioned Cheng Maoming and Minister Shen who had entered the palace: "It's not appropriate to ask too much in front of Minister Shen. I wonder if Yang Zhe's suspicion has been cleared."
Since this matter concerns the crown prince, it would be inappropriate for them to show excessive curiosity.
"General Cheng will tell you later." Thinking of Cheng Maoming's hesitation, Qi Shuo curled the corners of his lips.
As they reached the door of the house, Lin Hao waved his hand: "I'm going in. Remember to tell me if there is any new situation."
Qi Shuo nodded, watched Lin Hao walk quickly into the general's mansion, and sighed softly in his heart.
His wedding to Ah Hao was originally scheduled to take place, but the death of the crown prince forced everything to be postponed.
What is even more depressing are the problems and impacts brought about by the prince's death.
He turned his head to look towards the north and walked into the palace.
Lin Hao soon knew the result without Cheng Maoming's explanation. Shortly after Cheng Maoming and Minister Shen went to the palace to report, several people, including Yang Zhe, were released, which undoubtedly told the world that they were innocent.
Of course, it is hard to say what the emperor thinks of these people. The prince got into trouble when he was drinking with them. There is an emotion called venting anger on others, which everyone understands.
In any case, in the minds of all officials and nobles, the future of these people is over.
In the general's mansion, Lin was in a good mood: "It's good that everyone is fine. A future is icing on the cake, but if there is no future, I won't starve."
What she was thinking about was naturally her son-in-law Han Baocheng.
During the days that Han Baocheng was imprisoned in Jinlinwei, the General's Mansion sent people to Jinlinwei as many times as the Shangshu Mansion. Lin Hao also went to the Shangshu Mansion to visit Lin Chan.
"Ahao has just been to the Shangshu Mansion. Let's let the steward go there today." The old lady also had a smile on her lips.
Mrs. Lin had no objection to this and said with a smile, "Then ask the steward to bring more gifts to comfort the son-in-law."
The old lady nodded and thought of Wen Feng: "That child is a good one. After all, he is Ah Hao and the others' cousin. We should arrange for someone to go and take a look at him."
Lin frowned subconsciously.
She actually quite liked Wen Feng, but whenever she mentioned the last name Wen, she would subconsciously think of that heartless guy.
"Grandma, Mom, let me go." Lin Hao took the initiative to take over the matter.
Her cousin had a lot of contact with Yang Zhe, and she wanted to talk to him about this top scholar who was always in trouble.
Lin Hao took some gifts of condolence and went to Wen Feng's residence.
In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, people like Wen Feng naturally cannot afford to buy a house. He rented a small house in a good location in Xicheng.
The carriage stopped by the roadside. Lin Hao walked to a door and knocked.
"Who is it?" The doorman opened the door.
This was Lin Hao's first time here. She smiled politely at the doorman and said, "I am the second daughter of the Lin family. I heard that my cousin is back, so I came to see him."
The disciples knew something about the Lin and Wen families, and when they heard Lin Hao introduce himself, they did not dare to neglect him and hurried to pass on the message.
