Chapter 769 The Hardest Lie in the World

Si Jinyu looked at Si Linglong with some surprise, obviously not expecting that this idea came from her.

Si Linglong, who was finally the center of attention, now straightened her waist in a reserved and humble manner.

Then I heard Si Jinyu say solemnly,

"Even if there are Madam's ideas, His Majesty is willing to adopt them to save the common people. This is also His Majesty's generosity."

Si Linglong: ...

[We've broken up. I don't want this brother anymore.]

[Even though I was the one who came up with the idea, you still insisted on giving the spotlight to Ah Yue…]

[Why didn't I realize before that this big brother would flatter someone? 】

Helian Yue didn't think anything was wrong at first, but when he heard that, he moved his thigh awkwardly.

I couldn't help but turn my head and glance at her.

He just couldn't believe that she didn't understand.

Real family members are always polite to outsiders, but casual and unrestrained with their own people.

"Ahem." Helian Yue coughed and changed the subject. "Although the assassination has been linked to the collusion between Prince Li and Prince Cheng, there is insufficient evidence. I'm afraid it won't be possible to convict Prince Li's palace in a short period of time."

Si Linglong had already mentioned King Cheng's plan in the original novel. Helian Yue had already sent people to secretly watch King Cheng when he was approaching Yongjing. According to the original plan, they wanted to catch them red-handed when King Li met King Cheng, so that they would have no excuse.

But now the two have not met yet, and in the final analysis, it was all his fabrication.

Si Jinyu knew that with his status, he shouldn't have said such words to him, but now he was involved in it and knew the emperor's plan. At the same time, he also hoped to take revenge on King Li in another way, so he hoped to nail King Li to death based on this incident.

Hearing Helian Yue's words at this time, his face showed a little solemnity.

Li Sheng didn't understand all this and just kept grabbing his sleeve.

Si Linglong, on the other hand, didn't seem too worried. "It doesn't matter if there is insufficient evidence. Ordinary people don't pay attention to details. They believe what they see more."

As she spoke, she opened her hand towards the two of them and counted on her fingers, "There have always been rumors in Yongjing that are unfavorable to A Yue. The late King Cheng appeared in Yongjing, and my brother assassinated King Li. These three things really happened and everyone saw them with their own eyes."

"What we are doing now is just to use a reasonable explanation to link things that may have nothing to do with each other into a conspiracy. Now that the people have believed it, even if there is insufficient evidence later, they will still firmly believe that this is the fact, because things that really happened are difficult to overturn."

"Now that public opinion is on our side, we don't have to worry about insufficient evidence. They should be worrying about how to overturn the accusation."

This was the idea that Si Linglong had originally told Helian Yue.

While allowing Si Jinyu to escape punishment smoothly, it also dealt a heavy blow to the Li Wang Mansion.

Of course, it would be even better if we could take this opportunity to directly destroy the Prince Li's Mansion. We could just hammer the male protagonist to death and make sure he could never threaten A Yue again.

But she also knew that given the power and reputation of the Li Palace, it would be impossible to wipe out the Li Palace in one fell swoop without sufficient evidence.

Since we can't get rid of it all at once, let's first unveil the mask of Prince Li's Mansion.

As long as the people and court officials believed that Prince Li's palace had rebellious intentions, then no matter what Prince Li or Helian Tuo wanted to do, they would no longer be able to pretend to uphold orthodoxy.

In order to ensure that these things were connected together, Si Linglong tried her best to recall every detail of the plot and repeatedly confirmed the information from A Yue's side. Finally, she came up with this perfect closed-loop explanation.

This was also thanks to A Yue who had known the development of the plot with his mind-reading ability and was on guard early on. He had control over King Li and King Cheng as well as some of their actions in the court, so things were able to proceed so smoothly.

The hardest lie in the world is when every word you say is true.

Si Linglong stopped talking to herself, but when she saw Si Jinyu facing her, she was speechless.

Not only did he never consider that this was Linglong's plan to save him and take revenge on King Li, he also never considered it.

The sister who was sent to the palace by him to seek shelter, hoping that she would live a peaceful and stable life in the palace, can now protect him in return.

It turns out that the chick that he had protected in the past can now spread its wings and fly.
