Chapter 57 Cut off
Huo Yuchen also chimed in, "I agree with what Master Shen, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, said. If we want to uncover the truth behind Princess Huaian's murder, we must first find a way through Miss Lin San."
"Prince Chang has always been kind to women, but this is a matter of life and death. Moreover, the victim is our sister, a royal princess. This case must be taken seriously and favoritism is unacceptable..."
What this means is actually to point out that we should not confuse inside and outside, or right and wrong.
No matter how kind and gentle Miss Lin San is, she cannot be compared with Princess Huaian.
King Chang was suddenly enraged. He gritted his teeth in anger and made noises with his mouth.
I couldn't help but sneer, "Isn't the Crown Prince seriously ill and unconscious? Why are you here to meddle in other people's affairs today?"
"Since you're not in good health, you should take good care of yourself and get more rest!"
Huo Yuchen smiled faintly at Prince Chang's provocation, "Yesterday, Divine Doctor Baili changed a new prescription."
"I'm feeling a little better now, so I forced myself to come over and see you. After all, Huai'an and I share the same blood. That's why I came over to share my father's worries despite my frail body."
Emperor Wu of Qin found these words very pleasing to the ear, as they showed a broad perspective and the demeanor of a brother.
No matter what, Huai'an is his biological daughter.
Even though he had many children, it was impossible for him to remain completely indifferent when he saw his daughter die tragically.
I do have a strong desire to seek justice for my daughter.
If he couldn't avenge his daughter's death, how could he, the king of a country, still sit firmly on the throne?
It also undermines his dignity as a king.
Emperor Wu of Qin glanced at Huo Yuchen calmly and ordered, "The Third Miss of the Lin family and all the maids will be temporarily imprisoned. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will jointly try this case."
"Madam Lin, Zhao Yurou, was blind and almost carelessly disposed of Princess Huaian's body, causing a disaster. She will be slapped thirty times to serve as a warning to others!"
"Brothers Lin Aodong and Lin Aosong will be fined one year's salary and asked to reflect on their mistakes and improve their character. If they do it again, they will be severely punished!"
After a pause, he said to Concubine De in a soothing tone, "Princess Huai'an's funeral arrangements will be fully entrusted to you! The Ministry of Rites will assist you. If you need anything, you can speak to me."
Consort De bowed again and said with great sorrow, "I thank Your Majesty for your consideration. I will take care of Huai'an's funeral properly."
Seeing that everyone in the Lin family had been punished, she didn't dare to plead anymore and decided it was better to protect herself first.
Prince Chang was about to plead for Lin Chuyan again, but Prince Duan stopped him and kindly advised, "Don't say anything more. If you have anything to say, go to your father and plead for mercy in private."
"Father is currently feeling sad and distressed because of Huai'an's situation!"
"Why bother looking for trouble now?"
"We still need to be careful to save face for our father!"
King Chang understood what he meant and had to give up reluctantly.
When Lin Chuyan heard the emperor's order, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
Now her parents and second uncle have all been punished by the emperor and can no longer be relied upon.
The other princes acted as if they were completely out of the matter and none of them spoke to plead for her.
Only Prince Chang spoke well of her, and Prince Chang was also highly regarded by the emperor.
She couldn't help but look at King Chang for help, with a pitiful look on her face.
She believed that she could stir Prince Chang's heart and make him unable to sit idly by and watch her. She wanted to make Prince Chang feel itchy so that he would be willing to risk his life for her.
I hope King Chang can be more helpful and help her avoid imprisonment.
As a noble lady, if she had been in jail, how could she hold her head up high in the future?
No, she doesn't want it!
Looking at the beautiful Lin Chuyan, King Chang felt his heart pounding.
He had fallen in love with Lin Chuyan three years ago, but because she was still young at the time, he didn't dare to make a move.
He believed that if he helped Lin Chuyan escape punishment this time, she would definitely fall in love with him.
Thinking of this, Prince Chang decided to ask his mother for help later. Given the status of his mother in his father's heart, his father would definitely agree.
Thinking of this, Prince Chang walked over to Lin Chuyan and said softly, "Don't worry, I will find a way to rescue you as soon as possible. However, you have to think about how to thank me first."
After saying this, he gently held Lin Chuyan's hand again, but the movement was so quick that few people saw it.
However, their eye contact and little gestures all fell into Lin Pianran's eyes.
She raised her pretty eyebrows and pretended not to notice anything.
It is expected that Prince Chang covets Lin Chuyan's beauty, and Lin Chuyan wants to rely on Prince Chang to get out of the predicament.
They're not good birds anyway.
Let them get together!
When the time comes, just clean it up and eat it all in one pot.
More convenient!
Lin Pianran took a look at the people from the Lin family and felt extremely upset.
Since Lin Aodong was the first to propose severing ties.
That was exactly what she wanted.
If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences.
Now that the Lin family has celebrated the first day of the month, it is her turn to celebrate the fifteenth.
Lin Pianran knelt down again, sobbing as she spoke, "This time, fortunately, the emperor is wise and powerful, helping me to uphold justice. This has saved me from humiliation and injustice, and has also preserved my reputation."
"It has long been rumored that the Emperor is a wise and intelligent man with a broad mind, a wise ruler with great talent and vision. Today, I, your humble servant, have the honor of meeting His Majesty for the first time. I find that He is even more extraordinary than the rumors have spread. This is truly beyond my expectations."
"Although this has temporarily resolved my predicament, my adoptive father and second uncle are both very disappointed and dissatisfied because I didn't take the blame for Princess Huaian's murder. My adoptive father has announced his decision to sever ties with me before His Majesty, which makes me sad and ashamed!"
"I am now an adult and no longer wish to burden my adoptive father's family. Therefore, I will follow my adoptive father's instructions and sever my ties with the Lin family! Your Majesty, please be a witness!"
Emperor Wu of Qin was so flattered by Lin Pianran's praise that he felt like he was floating in the air, and his mood was relieved from his sadness.
He was unexpectedly friendly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Pianran was also quite loving.
He was very easy to talk to and said, "Originally, you were just the adopted daughter of the Lin family. Since both of you are willing to sever your relationship, I will make this decision for you today!"
"I will immediately issue an imperial decree for you to rely on, so as to avoid disputes and quarrels in the future and avoid unnecessary trouble."
After hearing this, Lin Pianran was very excited.
I didn’t expect this old emperor to be so powerful.
It’s just great!
From now on, it would be impossible for the Lin family to show off their power and boss her around.
Trying to blackmail her by using the grace of raising her will be even more impossible.
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
