Before Jiang He could finish his words, Wen Yunxiao interrupted him, "I have already investigated this matter. General Fan is the backbone of the country and the imperial court. He would never do anything to betray the country."
"Now that the general has returned home, he might come to the palace soon to have a good talk with me about who is trying to frame him."
With an extremely ordinary tone, Wen Yunxiao drank another glass, and when he looked at Jiang He, the mockery in his eyes became more obvious.
In the hall, Prince Jin and Jiang He's faces changed drastically, and the court officials were talking about it.
Has the matter of General Fan collaborating with the enemy been clarified?
But none of the court officials got the news. What does this mean?
Many people who were clear-headed had already broken out in cold sweat.
As if in response to Wen Yunxiao's words, the order for General Fan to enter the palace to meet the emperor came at the right time. Seeing the general staring at him, Jiang He was drenched in cold sweat.
Prince Jin was afraid that the matter would be exposed and the emperor would catch him. All the evidence about the general collaborating with the enemy came from him alone.
Even the things were put in there by someone he asked!
Before, he could still feel very confident that even if the general was finally cleared of his grievances, he would still be able to protect the general's mansion based on his questioning in front of the palace.
The general would never suspect him.
But now... facing such eyes full of killing and oppression.
Jiang He's confidence was completely destroyed!
It was not until General Fan looked away and kowtowed to the emperor that Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief. The hair on his forehead was wet, which made him look even more disheveled.
"I bow to your majesty for your insight and for clearing the name of the General's Mansion!"
General Fan was a straightforward man. He kowtowed three times sincerely.
Seeing this, Wen Yunxiao was also frightened. If it weren't for Concubine Rou's reminder that day, if General Fan really wanted to collaborate with the enemy, how could he send his only bloodline into the palace?
Isn’t he afraid that one wrong step might cost his daughter’s life?
He was doubtful and after a thorough investigation, he actually found out that it was Prince Jin!
Wen Yunxiao didn't even dare to think that if he really convicted General Fan, it would upset the hearts of soldiers all over the world, and then let Prince Jin and Jiang He's plea today win over the military.
What would his situation become then?
After all, among the more than half of the voices that support King Jin, General Fan is already the most powerful one among the neutrals!
As long as General Fan does not give in and cannot control the military power, it will be useless no matter how many supporters the King of Jin has.
Thinking of this, Wen Yunxiao felt more and more that Lin Chunhuan's existence was the help sent to him by God!
"General Fan, please stand up quickly!"
Wen Yunxiao stood up. Although he didn't go forward, he showed the general enough respect. "I've been provoked by a villain for a while now, and I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. Once I find out, I'll definitely skin this guy alive!"
"Someone, please find a seat for the general."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
General Fan stood up calmly, and the gaze that made Jiang He feel uneasy came back to him.
Jiang He's whole body stiffened.
At this moment, Wen Yunxiao turned his attention to him again, "Oh right, the county magistrate just said that he had something to tell me about General Fan, and it just so happens that the general is here too."
"Why don't you speak now, County Ma?"
Jiang He: “…”
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to say." Jiang He said this almost through gritted teeth. He suppressed his emotions, controlled his trembling hands, and retreated to his original position.
He just couldn't understand why the emperor would find out about this matter in advance when there was clearly no flaw in the plan!
He clearly hasn't produced any evidence that could prove General Fan's innocence.
Jiang He thought this way and underestimated Wen Yunxiao's ability.
The reason he was able to succeed in his previous life was entirely because Wen Yunxiao was so confused by the adoption issue. Under such circumstances, when he learned that someone was collaborating with the enemy, he had no idea that there was a trap specifically set for him.
But now, with the child in Lin Chunhuan's belly, Wen Yunxiao has not been bothered by the adoption issue at all in the past few months.
When he was clear-headed, Lin Chunhuan planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, so it was not difficult for him to see through the trap.
"Well, since the county lord has nothing to say, I do have a good news to announce today."
He gave a look to Manager Fang beside him.
Chief Steward Fang immediately understood and flicked the whisk in his arms, "The Empress Dowager has arrived, and Concubine Rou has arrived!"
Concubine Rou?
Upon hearing this address, the court officials and the noble ladies sitting down were stunned.
After all, it was a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so it was normal for the Queen Mother to come. But this time, even the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the harem didn't come, but a concubine came?
What's the reason for this?
No matter what others thought, the Queen Mother had already taken Lin Chunhuan's hand and slowly walked into the main hall. Her loving expression showed that she treated the woman beside her as a treasure in her palm.
Wen Yunxiao immediately got down from the dragon throne and quickly walked to Lin Chunhuan's side. He and the Queen Mother held her hands on either side, "Huan'er, you've worked hard all the way here. Come, sit next to me!"
"The Emperor would tease me, saying I was carried all the way here, so how could I be tired?"
Lin Chunhuan's tone was soft and gentle, but in fact he was trying hard to control himself and not look in the direction of the river.
But it's really too difficult.
The surging murderous intent surged back and forth in her chest the moment she caught sight of Jiang He's figure, and even her forward movements seemed stiff.
“This…he…”
After calculating the distance and looking up at the right time, Lin Chunhua's face turned pale instantly and his eyes were filled with tears.
Wen Yunxiao's expression changed slightly, and he looked towards Jiang He.
As for the rivers.
He never thought that he would meet Lin Chunhuan at this moment, in such a scene, and in such an identity.
He quickly lowered his head with cold hands and feet, wishing he could hide himself in the crowd.
"Huan'er, what's wrong?"
The low whisper in her ear brought Lin Chunhuan back to her senses, but she just bit her lip and shook her head gently, "Allow me to explain it to you later?"
Wen Yunxiao didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at Jiang He again and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Um."
The response was as low as a mosquito's whisper, the ugly expression, and all the unusual things showed that the story between the two was probably not simple.
However, in Lin Chunhuan's lowered eyes, there was a flash of pleasure that others could not detect.
Jiang He, this is a big pit she carefully dug.
You must prepare well.
Skipping this insignificant episode, Lin Chunhuan sat next to Wen Yunxiao.
Sitting...in the seat that belongs to the queen!
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, the Minister of Rites immediately spoke in displeasure, "Even though the Central Palace is now without a master, this lady is only a concubine. Isn't it overstepping the bounds to sit on the Queen's seat?"
