Chapter 465: Eliminating Hidden Dangers One by One
In the next half month, the Dayan court eliminated the hidden dangers secretly buried by Xiyu one by one with lightning speed.
The Lin family's treason case has come to an end.
Lin Xun, his daughter Lin Fujia, his eldest son Lin Wenyuan, and his second son Lin Wentao were sentenced to extermination of their entire clans due to irrefutable evidence that they had colluded with the Western Yu and intended to overthrow the imperial court.
The Lin Mansion, which was not very prominent in the past, was reduced to ashes.
In the prison, when Princess Taiping Yan Shishu learned that her daughter, Princess Jiahe, was murdered by Lin Fujia, the last string supporting her completely broke.
Overwhelmed by grief and regret, she went completely insane.
Lin Fujia, who was sent to Jingsi Temple that year, had already been filled with resentment.
She hated Yan Shixu's ruthlessness, Wen Li'er's "exclusive favor", and the imperial power that had brought her to this point.
In Jingsi Temple, she accidentally discovered the secret of the abbess Huiqing.
This seemingly charitable nun actually used the nunnery as a cover to practice mirror polishing and secretly trained and sent obedient female spies to Xiyu.
Lin Fujia wanted revenge so much. She longed to take control of her own destiny and was unwilling to be manipulated by others.
She knew that Master Huiqing was wary of her because she was once the emperor's woman and did not dare to touch her.
So she took the initiative to cater to him and threw herself into his arms.
Taking this as an opportunity, she got in touch with the Xiyu forces behind Master Huiqing.
He also introduced his second brother Lin Wentao to Tang Zhuo through Master Huiqing.
Lin Xun had been in the court for decades, but he was only a fourth-rank official and had been harboring resentment for a long time.
Under the constant instigation of his daughter Lin Fujia and second son Lin Wentao, and with the huge profits promised by Xiyu, he finally chose to betray his country and surrender to the enemy.
Lin Xun and his eldest son Lin Wenyuan served as officials in the court, while his second son was a successful businessman and the family was quite wealthy.
Tang Zhuo naturally wanted such a family to surrender.
She gradually gave the Lin family greater power and more money, feeding their appetites and ambitions more and more.
At this time, Princess Taiping angered the Empress Dowager because of Empress Xie's affairs and was punished to live in seclusion in Jingsi Temple for two years.
Lin Fujia initially had no idea of Princess Taiping's secret feelings for Empress Xie.
But when she thought about her experience of devoting herself to Master Huiqing, she became suspicious.
She planned carefully and tested her with words, and indeed confirmed Princess Taiping's unacceptable love for Empress Xie.
Princess Taiping is of noble status and holds power far exceeding that of the Lin family.
If she could be won over, it would be like adding wings to Xiyu's plan.
Lin Fujia used the golden bell provided by Tang Zhuo to learn the strange bell tune that could arouse people's desires.
She disguised herself as Empress Xie and successfully seduced the distracted Princess Taiping, and the two of them became involved.
Once there is a first time, there will be countless times.
Even though Princess Taiping knew that the person in front of her was not the real Arong when she woke up, the obsession in her heart had already been deeply rooted and she could not extricate herself.
Lin Fujia seized on this point and continued to "brainwash" her, infinitely magnifying her pain of "not being able to love" Empress Xie.
Leading her to resent everyone in the Dayan royal family, and even taking her anger out on the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother who "did not save her from death".
The seeds of hatred grew wildly in Princess Taiping's heart.
In order to more firmly control Princess Taiping and to win over more forces.
On the eve of Princess Taiping's two-year retreat and her return to Beijing, Lin Fujia persuaded her to have a child with "Arong".
A child with the blood of 'Arong' flowing in his veins...
The proposal was like a spell.
Empress Xie is dead and she was a woman, how could he have her child?
The only possibility is the man who is related to Empress Xie by blood - her father, the former Duke of Rong, Xie Heqi.
Although the Xie family has lost its power, it is still alive and kicking.
If the Xie family can be persuaded to rebel, it will be a great help to Xiyu's plan to overthrow Dayan.
"To have a child with 'Arong'" was too great a temptation for the obsessed Princess Taiping.
Under the psychedelic ring tone and Lin Fujia's hypnosis, she actually sent out her own secret guards to abduct Xie Heqi to Jingsi Temple when he was not prepared.
Afterwards, they forced Xie Heqi to drink a large amount of strong aphrodisiac and forced him to sleep with Princess Taiping for three days in the hope of getting her pregnant.
Afterwards, Lin Fujia suggested imprisoning Xie Heqi and releasing him after confirming that Princess Taiping was pregnant.
In fact, he wanted to wait until Princess Taiping became pregnant and then use it to threaten Xie Heqi to submit.
However, after Xie Heqi woke up, he remembered the whole story.
He was filled with grief and indignation, feeling deeply humiliated and ashamed, and was unwilling to drag the entire Xie family into this scandal of treason.
He took advantage of the guards' inattention and committed suicide on the spot.
Lin Fujia was shocked and angry at the loss of Xie Heqi, an important chess piece. In her anger, she actually beat to death the laundry maid brought by Princess Taiping who was responsible for delivering meals to Xie Heqi.
Looking at the maid's body, an idea instantly formed in Lin Fujia's mind.
She could not allow Princess Taiping to return to the capital alone and escape from control, and as a "guilty concubine", she would have no choice but to die if she wanted to leave Jingsi Temple.
Not long after, Lin Fujia "caught" a severe "cold" and "died of the illness".
Under the cover of Master Huiqing, her "corpse" was hastily disposed of.
The real Lin Fujia disguised herself and pretended to be the laundry maid who was beaten to death. She returned to the capital quietly with Princess Taiping's team and hid in the princess's mansion.
Shortly after returning to Beijing, Princess Taiping was diagnosed with pregnancy and later gave birth to a daughter, named Jiahe.
Xie Heqi was given a large amount of drugs when she was pregnant, and Princess Taiping was worried during her pregnancy.
She was afraid that her husband, Chen Lisheng, would notice that her child had an unusual background, so she suffered from long-term mental stress and depression.
Due to multiple factors, Jiahe was born with a serious heart disease.
At first, Chen Lisheng had no doubts.
Jiahe was born weak, so he was particularly caring and loving to her.
But whenever he wanted to get close to his daughter, Princess Taiping would always feel like she was facing a great enemy and would be extremely nervous.
This abnormal and guilty behavior made Chen Lisheng, who knew his wife's character well, suspicious.
He secretly took a drop of Jiahe's blood and compared it with his own, but the result was that they were not compatible!
But he did not confirm it immediately, because his experience of identifying his relatives through blood tests in his childhood made him realize the absurdity of this method.
Back then, his blood was not compatible with that of his father, Xuan De Hou Chen Yue. Even after his mother died as proof, his father still didn't believe it.
As a result, he lived under his father's suspicion and conspiracy for many years.
He was unwilling to conclude that his daughter was not his biological daughter based on this, and he was even more unwilling to let his daughter repeat the mistakes of his childhood.
So he sent people to conduct a thorough investigation secretly.
However, the truth that was discovered was like a bolt from the blue.
Jiahe is indeed not his biological child. Princess Taiping has an ambiguous relationship with the "laundry maid." There are all kinds of abnormalities in Jingsi Temple, and even the late Empress Xie and Xie Heqi are involved...
With so much evidence before his eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
No man can bear his wife's betrayal and the shame of becoming someone else's substitute.
Chen Lisheng was filled with grief and anger. For the sake of his children's reputation and future, he even thought of killing his wife.
But in the end, the pity for the children prevailed.
He didn't want his child to lose his mother and him as a father at the same time.
In desperation, he chose to take his children and sister Chen Yian and voluntarily request a transfer away from the capital to Taozhou where he had worked and was relatively familiar with.
He hopes to give his children a peaceful environment to grow up in.
However, things don't always go as planned.
Only a few short years later, they had to return to the capital and face all the unbearable things.
