Chapter 136 Don’t Look at Me Like That
"This...what's going on, Li San? Why is he here?"
Xiao Jingrui looked at Lin Rou as if he was looking at a dead person: "You ask me? I want to ask you! Why is he in your room and on your bed?!"
"Lin Rou, can't I satisfy you? You actually want to follow a coachman..."
Lin Rou was stunned. She and Li San? How could this be possible? She was clearly staying in her room and hadn't gone anywhere.
But... physical feelings can't lie, she... may have really had something happen between her and Li San.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have been wronged. Someone wants to harm me. Someone must be trying to harm me."
"Go and investigate. Your Highness, please ask Fang Nian to investigate. As long as they do it, there will definitely be traces. They will definitely find out and prove my innocence."
How could Xiao Jingrui not know that Lin Rou was wronged, but so what? It was a fact that he had an affair with another man.
Seeing Xiao Jingrui remained silent, Fang Nian kindly said, "Crown Princess, when you were doing that thing with the coachman... something, a fire broke out in the backyard. Your yard has now been reduced to ashes, and nothing can be found."
"Impossible!" Lin Rou screamed so loudly that she almost burst the roof. "Your Highness, I've been wronged. I've only been married for a short time. How could I do such a thing?"
"Even if I had to do it, I wouldn't find a driver, let alone in the Prince's Mansion. Wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Prince, please believe me, you really have to believe me, I really didn't do it, someone must be trying to harm me."
"Princess Zhan, it's her, right? It has to be her! She's disliked me for a long time!"
Xiao Jingrui had no feelings for Lin Rou in the first place, and now that this had happened, he didn't want to even look at her again.
"Fang Nian, bring the Crown Princess..."
Just when Xiao Jingrui wanted to deal with Lin Rou, the housekeeper's voice sounded outside.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister Lin is here."
Xiao Jingrui sat on the chair with a headache: "Please come in."
When Prime Minister Lin walked into the study, he saw the two people on the ground. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still frightened.
"You evil girl! What did I teach you? You don't even know that you are being plotted against, yet you still want to bring shame upon the Crown Prince."
Lin Rou was kicked and cried, but she felt more confident when she saw her father coming.
"Dad, I was indeed wronged. I don't know why Li San ended up in my room. I... wuwuwu..."
Prime Minister Lin walked around Lin Rou, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, it's all because of my poor upbringing. I've allowed my daughter to be schemed against without any sense of purpose. I apologize to the Crown Prince on behalf of this wicked girl. I hope Your Highness will spare her life for my sake."
The prince went down and helped the person up: "Prime Minister, what are you doing? You should have heard the servants say when you came here. If I don't deal with her, where will my face be!"
Prime Minister Lin looked at the Crown Prince's determined eyes and finally sighed, "Your Highness, I have heard some things about Your Highness recently. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I know what Your Highness should do."
"I hereby promise that as long as Rou'er's life can be spared, I will help the Crown Prince take the throne as soon as possible. However, this matter still requires long-term consideration."
The prince turned around and sat back in his chair without saying a word. After a long time...
"Fang Nian, take the Crown Princess downstairs and find a courtyard for her placement. Send someone to guard her and don't let her go out."
"As for that man..." Xiao Jingrui's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks."
Lin Rou did not struggle when she was carried out. At least her life was saved. As for the position of queen... as long as her father was still the prime minister, there was no need to worry that the position would not be hers.
But Prime Minister Lin and Lin Rou did not know that since Prime Minister Lin made those threatening words, the day when Xiao Jingrui succeeded to the throne would be the day when the Lin family would be destroyed.
…
At the entrance of the Bachelor's Mansion
"Yiling, go back and rest first. I'll come to propose tomorrow and I won't make you wait even one more day."
Just as Su Yiling blushed, the door of the mansion opened and the housekeeper came out.
"General, my old master wants to see you."
Su Yiling was worried, so she followed Bu Tianrui in.
In the study, a white-haired old man was sitting there, looking at Bu Tianrui with excitement in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, it's worth it for Yiling to wait for so many years."
Bu Tianrui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Master Su.
"It's my fault for making Yiling suffer. I've already told my family that I'll come and propose tomorrow."
"I swear on my life that I will only marry Ling, no matter if we have children or not, I will never take a concubine. Otherwise, I will die a miserable death."
Old Master Su helped the man up and said, "Good boy, get up quickly. You two grew up together. I know how you feel about Yiling. That's why I let Yiling do what she wanted when she heard the news that you died in battle and decided to stay by your side."
"Well, you are all blessed children. By the way, I heard that it was the War King and his wife who rescued you this time?"
Bu Tianrui helped Old Master Su to sit on the chair: "Yes, it was indeed Prince Zhan and Ruo'er who rescued us. Ruo'er... is doing very well."
Su Yiling also smiled and praised: "How can Ruo'er be very good? Ruo'er is very good. Even my grandfather's illness was cured by Ruo'er, but Ruo'er didn't let us tell anyone."
Old Master Su nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for Princess Zhan, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait until the day of your wedding."
Su Yiling squatted beside Old Master Su: "Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. Ruo'er said that you still have at least ten years of life left. Not only can you see your granddaughter's wedding, but you will also have to take care of our children in the future."
Old Master Su was amused by the two of them, but he still said, "The Crown Prince was responsible for what happened today. I thought he would take Yi Ling to an inn or farm outside, but I didn't expect him to be so bold as to bring her directly back to the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Although I have resigned from my position, if he dares to bully my granddaughter, he must be prepared to bear my wrath."
"Don't worry, Yiling. Although this matter is not easy to publicize, grandfather will definitely vent his anger for you."
Su Yiling comforted him, "Grandfather, don't be angry. Ruo'er had already avenged the prince when she rescued me. I'm afraid Kyoto will be bustling tomorrow."
Sure enough, the next morning Jin Congcong ran to Buruo's Chaoyang Garden.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, do you know that the prince has green hair on his head again? I went to bed early last night and didn't know what happened. This morning when I went out to buy food, I heard people all over the street talking about it."
"Mo Bao said that all of this is your masterpiece. What's going on? Can you tell me?"
Bu Ruo didn't say anything, just frowned and stared at Jin Congcong.
"Um... Ruo'er, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Don't look at me like that. I'm scared."
