Chapter 22 How come everyone has changed?
"Lin..."
Lian was irritated by Lin You's smile. Lin Xue held her back. "Mother, since the noble concubine has gone, Xue'er will go too."
"Then mother will go with you. With mother here, mother will definitely protect you."
Looking at the mother and daughter relying on each other, Lin You's smile deepened. [Oh, I really envy such maternal love, but that good daughter is an ungrateful person. In the end, the general's mansion was occupied by her biological parents.]
Lian...
Suddenly, Lian thought of what happened to Lin Tianchu yesterday.
Although she didn't go to see it, she also heard from her son that Mu Zhen did go to drug her son.
However, this may not be Xue'er's instigation. It may be Mu Zhen's own evil intentions!
After entering the court of the Ministry of Justice, Lin You, led by the Minister, entered the private room behind the screen.
As a noble concubine of a country, she naturally could not show up in such a scene.
Moreover, she was now a noble concubine who was in charge of government affairs behind the curtain, and her status was extraordinary.
Soon, someone came over with Huanling, and Lin Xue stood quietly at the bottom of the hall.
As the legitimate daughter of a general's mansion, the Minister of Justice did not dare to let her kneel without solid evidence.
The Minister asked someone to hand the petition to Lin Xue.
Lian also hurried over to take a look.
After reading the above content, Lin Xue's face turned pale, and she looked at Huanling in disbelief and hurt, "Huanling, how could you frame me like this? I, Lin Xue, have been very kind to you. I even treated you as a sister and never been a servant..."
After saying this, Lin Xue walked a few steps towards Huanling and looked up and down at her injuries with affection and heartache, "How did you get such serious injuries? Did someone force you to do it?"
"So that's why you wrote such a petition?"
"No one forced me."
Huanling sneered and pulled her hand back from Lin Xue's palm with such force that Lin Xue staggered back a few steps.
"Lin Xue, you are jealous of the Madam's love and tolerance for the Imperial Concubine, so you want to take advantage of the Imperial Concubine's absence to poison her horse, so that it will go crazy and run into people on the street, preferably with a broken leg, paralysis, disfigurement, and accidental injury to a few innocent people, so that the Madam will be disappointed with the Imperial Concubine."
"In this way, you can truly enjoy the favor of everyone in the General's Mansion and satisfy your sense of vanity."
Huanling spoke every word, each one was sharp and cold, forcing Lin Xue to step back and look at Huanling, who seemed to have changed into a different person, in disbelief.
She clearly saw the deep hatred in Huanling's eyes, just like the hatred she used to have for Lin You.
Lin Xue was slightly surprised.
Could it be that Huan Ling knew the truth about Huan Bi
? No, how could she know? Huan Bi was clearly already in a deep sleep.
"Lin Xue, the truth will come out eventually. Do you think no one will know about the dirty things you did?"
Huan Ling approached Lin Xue's ear, and her voice was as cold as a fierce ghost from hell. Lin Xue shuddered violently.
Immediately, her eyes turned sharp, and she walked past Huanling to the center of the court, looking innocently at Minister Jiang, "Mr. Minister, this is all Huanling's one-sided statement, and it is not enough to prove that I was the one who ordered the silver needle incident."
"Of course it's not just Huanling."
As soon as Lin Xue finished speaking, a male voice sounded behind her. Everyone looked and saw Yan Zhi escorting a little beggar in.
Lin Xue and Huanling recognized at first sight that it was the little beggar that Lin You brought that day.
At that time, the horse rushed into the yard in heat, and no one cared about the little beggar, so the little beggar slipped away.
In the past few days, people from the Ministry of Justice and King Lin Xueyu have been secretly looking for the little beggar, but the little beggar seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they couldn't find him no matter what they did.
But Lin You is different. As long as he wants to find this guy, the system can find him even if he has gone underground.
Just now, on the way back from the General's Mansion, Lin You thought of using this guy, so he asked the system to check and found that he had dug a hole in the ground and hid himself. Lin You asked Yan Zhi to catch him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi's speed was much faster than he expected.
Minister Jiang glanced at the guard next to him, and the guard immediately leaned close to his ear and told him about the little beggar.
Although Minister Jiang did not go to the birthday banquet of the General's Mansion, he sent this subordinate.
After listening, Minister Jiang asked coldly, "Little guy, was it you who stabbed the horse of the imperial concubine with a poisonous silver needle that day?"
Lin Xue pursed her lips tightly, staring at the little beggar, her heart beating a little.
Why is this little beggar not as noisy as before
? And when he looked at her, there was a trace of sadness and anger in his eyes.
How come they all changed one by one?
Could it be that Lin You had given them some kind of magic potion?
"Lin Xue asked me to do it. She told me that the Royal Concubine was a very vicious woman who had taken away many of her relatives and caused Sister Huanling's sister to become a cripple and never wake up." "
She said that on the day of the Lady Dowager's birthday banquet, the vicious Royal Concubine would come to steal her grandmother, so she asked me to give the Royal Concubine's horse an injection to stop her from stealing her grandmother."
Minister Jiang narrowed his eyes, "Then why did you help her?"
Hearing this, the little beggar suddenly clenched his fists, "A few months ago, I fell ill on the street. When I woke up, I saw Lin Xue beside me. I thought she was my savior, but I just found out that it was actually the shopkeeper of the drugstore who saved me. The shopkeeper had to leave for something urgent, but Lin Xue, who happened to pass by, took his place."
The little beggar became more and more angry as he spoke, and his little eyes were about to burst into fire.
This was what he heard from the shopkeeper and the waiter when he went to the drugstore to buy medicine on his way here with Yan Zhi.
He once asked Lin Xue if she saved him with acupuncture, after all, Lin Xue often used silver needles to save people, and Lin Xue answered yes.
But thinking back carefully, when he woke up that day, he clearly smelled a strong smell of medicine in his mouth, and that smell was exactly the medicine that Yan Zhi bought. The shopkeeper even asked him to smell it carefully and said that he used this medicine to save him.
Only then did the little beggar completely understand that he was deceived by Lin Xue, who wanted him, an insignificant little man, to poison the horse of the imperial concubine.
He had been a little beggar for many years and had met many people, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as this.
Yan Zhi, who was standing next to him, did not move, but secretly admired Lin You in his heart.
At that time, Lin You told him the location of the little beggar and asked him to catch him. When she left, she asked him to take the little beggar to the drugstore to buy medicine. He was confused and impatient at the time. Unexpectedly, after entering the drugstore, the boss asked the little beggar if he felt better after taking the medicine and came to buy medicine again.
Then there was the incident of the little beggar being rescued.
He also understood why Lin You asked him to take the little beggar to buy medicine.
Listening to the little beggar telling what happened that day, Lin Xue's face was already covered with a layer of paleness, but she bit her lip tightly and denied it again.
"Sir, I still say the same thing as I did at the banquet. I don't know this little beggar, and I don't understand why he framed me like this, but I really don't know him."
"And Huanling's accusation was all directed and acted by her. Please, Sir, look into it and clear my daughter's name."
