Chang'an didn't speak immediately. She noticed a hint of mockery in Lin Yanran's eyes, and immediately had a guess in her heart: Could it be the prince? But she was not sure.
It would be more appropriate for Lin Yanran to say this, "This is a very serious matter, and speaking requires evidence.
Although I have some guesses in my mind, I can't be sure that the person I suspect is the one Sister Lin mentioned.
"The person you guessed is the Left Prime Minister Feng Zhengmin, right?"
Changan pretended to be surprised, "Is it really him?"
"Anyone would think so, but the person who poisoned him is the current emperor."
"..." Chang'an was shocked. This answer was surprising. "Why? Is the emperor dissatisfied with Prime Minister Lin? That shouldn't be the case."
"All of this stems from my father's disobedience." Lin Yanran's tone revealed all her dissatisfaction. "The Emperor asked me to marry the Crown Prince, but my father refused. He also wanted the Emperor to promise that he would be loyal to the Crown Prince and the Emperor as long as he lived. My father used his life to buy my freedom."
"Let you marry the prince?" Chang'an wondered what the emperor saw so well in the prince. She didn't believe that the emperor couldn't see that the prince was a useless person and was willing to hand over the kingdom that his ancestors had fought so hard for to an incompetent person.
"You didn't expect it, did you?" Lin Yanran shed tears, "This matter has been weighing on my heart. I really want to ask the emperor in person how my father, who dedicated his entire life to the country and the people, ended up like this.
Is it just to make my father assist the prince to ascend the throne? He is the emperor. With just one word or an imperial decree, the prince can ascend the throne legitimately. I don’t understand why my father must assist him.
Chang'an didn't speak for a long time. She really didn't know what to say to Lin Yanran.
Bei Mingxuan in the room also heard the conversation between Chang'an and Lin Yanran clearly. He was also surprised by such a thing, but what could he do? The emperor doted on the prince. Even though he was uneducated, untalented and unvirtuous, he had won the emperor's heart.
At this moment, Bei Mingxuan deeply felt that perhaps the strongest competitor for the throne was no longer the powerful Bei Ming Ye, nor the capable eldest prince Bei Ming Hong, but the prince whom he had never taken seriously - Bei Ming Che.
Lin Yanran raised her head, a sneer on her lips. "In the final analysis, it was me who implicated my father. The current emperor used my mother and me to restrain my father, and used my father to restrain me. How capable can I be? In the final analysis, if I dare to do anything that goes against the emperor's wishes, the rope tied to the knife around my father's head will break."
Chang'an sensed a hint of irrationality in Lin Yanran's words. "I don't understand what 'if you dare do anything that goes against the Emperor's wishes' means. Also, when your father was poisoned and refused the Emperor's marriage proposal, wasn't there a third person present? Or, in other words, is it truly confirmed?"
"Sure." Lin Yanran confirmed, "The Emperor will definitely not let anyone else know about this.
And my father didn't tell me at first. It was my mother who found out that my father was poisoned and threatened to commit suicide. Finally, my father had no choice but to tell the truth.
Then I met the emperor alone in the palace, and the emperor said in person that if I could do something for him, he would give my father the antidote.
And they agreed that after the crown prince ascended the throne, my father would be allowed to retire and return home, leaving the court."
Chang'an realized that many things might not be what he thought.
A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, and then she looked at Lin Yanran calmly, without revealing anything.
The saying "too much talk leads to mistakes" is exactly what Lin Yanran is like at this moment.
"Sister Lin, you told me this today. If the Emperor knew about it, wouldn't you be worried about your father and mother?"
After Changan finished speaking, he saw with certainty that there was a strange look in Lin Yanran's eyes that seemed to have never appeared before.
So he immediately looked at Lin Yanran with admiration, "Changan really admires Sister Lin. If it were me, I would definitely be scared and worried all day long."
"It's not that I'm not worried." Lin Yanran looked helpless, thinking quickly about how to answer. "It's just that my family has long since become indifferent to life and death. In this life, who is immortal? My father always said, why fear death? It's just returning to the original state, a handful of yellow earth."
Changan nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Lin, I promise I won't mention this to anyone."
"Of course I am relieved. If I were worried, I wouldn't have told Sister Gu."
Chang'an smiled, "Then according to Sister's idea, after the poison doctor comes to treat Prince Xuan, we can go to the mansion to treat Prime Minister Lin?"
"No." Lin Yanran said firmly, "If we send the poison doctor directly to the Prime Minister's residence, the Emperor will definitely know. If possible, I want my father to go to Prince Xuan's residence that day and claim that he cares about Prince Xuan. Wouldn't that be justified?"
"Sister Lin is very careful." Chang An pretended not to hear anything and agreed directly, "Then I will find someone to inform Sister Lin when the time comes."
So, once.
Chang'an became more and more suspicious of Lin Yaran. She even suspected that everything Lin Yanran said today was intentionally said to her.
Lin Shangde has been immersed in officialdom for most of his life, even though his daughter is simple.
Such an important matter, and this is the first time I meet her. Even if I feel that we get along well, is Lin Yanran really that confident and defenseless?
No! Changan was sure that there must be something wrong with Lin Yanran, or rather, there was something wrong with Lin Shangde.
She just couldn't figure out where the problem lay. She thought to herself that Bei Mingxuan had heard all the conversations today clearly. Maybe if she asked him later, she might get some unexpected results.
"Princess." The housekeeper was outside the door. "Several women have come to the mansion to serve the prince and would like to have your attention."
Chang'an hadn't spoken yet, but Lin Yanran was extremely surprised.
"What kind of woman is this who serves the prince?"
Chang'an smiled, without explaining anything, but stood up and walked out, "Everyone go to the front hall, you go and invite the prince."
"Princess, the prince said he is tired and doesn't want to move. Please make the decision on everything, Princess."
"Then..." Chang'an looked back at Lin Yanran, then said to the housekeeper, "Well, let's hand this matter over to Xue'er."
housekeeper,"……"
Anyone with eyes can see Fu Xueer’s feelings for the prince.
Chang'an continued, "She is the prince's personal maid. She understands his preferences in many things. When she arranges these women, including their clothing, it must be in accordance with his preferences. Do you understand?"
Bai Lu listened to Chang'an's words and could only feel sorry for Fu Xueer for a second.
The princess is very resourceful. Bai Lu and the housekeeper silently told themselves in their hearts that they should never offend the princess in the future.
This method was really like a needle hidden in cotton, which stabbed Fu Xueer to a bloody mess and left her unable to fight back.
"Yes." The housekeeper left, muttering three words in his heart, 'Cruel, really cruel!'
