Chapter 204 True Face
"After I went out, I ran into two men. They knocked me out and took me to a small dark room. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been dead by now."
Lin Baoer rubbed her slightly red eyes with her hands and acted very conscientiously.
She didn't mention the two things of climbing over the wall and killing people. If she did, she would be digging her own grave and could not get away with it.
"After escaping, I met this sneaky Xiuhong. I thought she must be suspicious, so I asked the eunuch to tie her up."
In fact, she secretly knocked Xiuhong out and tied her up, and then found an opportunity to let the eunuch notice her and escort her back.
Otherwise, with her weak arms and legs, she really couldn't get the person back.
Anyway, the eunuchs were outside, and the emperor couldn't possibly hold on to such a small detail.
She took advantage of this loophole.
"You are a good talker." The emperor shook his head and believed her 30%.
On the other side, Lin Zhiyu quietly gave Lin Mobai a look in the corner. The latter understood and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to what Baoer said, there must be other people who have sneaked into the palace. In order to avoid trouble, I will ask for your permission to lead people to search, otherwise if the concubines in the harem are disturbed!"
"Lin Zhonglang is right." The emperor nodded, "Then you can go with Commander Xu."
The chief eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Commander Xu is not in the palace now."
The emperor seemed to suddenly realize, "Then..."
"Father, Jiang Yan happens to be near Changqing Palace, why not let him search with Lin Zhonglang." Song Mo said.
"Yes."
After Lin Mobai left, Shen Ruyu started to pretend again, covering her face with a handkerchief and sobbing, "Your Majesty, you have to understand clearly, this matter really has nothing to do with me..."
"Even if it is according to what the fourth lady said, it can only be said that this fire was indeed caused by someone, but it has nothing to do with me..."
"This Xiuhong slandered me without any reason, I don't know what An's intention is..."
"Maybe she was manipulated by someone..."
Hearing her artificial words, the queen was the first to frown and questioned, "Then sister, do you mean that she was instigated by me to slander you?"
Shen Ruyu shrank, "I didn't say that, sister, you can't slander me..."
Seeing that no one could do anything to Shen Ruyu, Lin Baoer was so angry that her teeth itched.
[What's wrong with this emperor! So many evidences point to her, and he still protects her! Even a love-brain can't be so love-brained! 】
【This woman is really good at talking! I wish I could seal her mouth! 】
Song Mo couldn't bear to see this woman deceiving the emperor like this, and he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Father! The previous incident with Wen Qumo was related to her, and this time Xiuhong pointed out him. I don't believe that she really has nothing to do with these two things!" "
Her background is a mystery, and she is a liar. Father, you are still protecting her so much..."
Lin Baoer thought to herself that it was not good. The prince was too anxious. Isn't this slapping the emperor in front of everyone? !
As expected, the emperor's face gradually became ugly.
Lin Zhiyu and Lin Qiming also saw it, and they came forward to rescue.
"This matter is indeed very strange. Not only did some unknown people sneak into the palace, but they even set fire to Changqing Palace. Their behavior is so vile that they totally disregard the royal dignity! We should investigate it thoroughly!" Lin Qiming bowed, "As for Concubine Li, in my opinion, she and Xiuhong are each telling their own stories. It would be better to investigate Wanyan Palace thoroughly. If there is no problem, Concubine Li can be cleared of all charges and the public can be convinced."
Lin Zhiyu continued, "Lord Lin is right. Your Majesty, if you don't take it seriously, maybe it won't be Changqing Palace that will be burned next time, and it won't be Baoer that will be captured!"
He emphasized his tone to highlight the importance of this matter.
The emperor was distracted by the words of these two people. At least he didn't blame Song Mo, and his expression relaxed.
"Then I will..."
"No!"
Shen Ruyu interrupted the emperor before he finished speaking.
Shen Ruyu looked at the emperor in disbelief, her face full of grievance, "Your Majesty, are you going to humiliate me like this? You actually let a minister search the Wanyan Palace..."
"If your majesty doesn't believe me, I will die as a token of my sin!"
As she said this, she was about to crash into the pillar.
[Go ahead! Crash if you have the guts! I want to see if you dare to crash into it! ]
Under Lin Baoer's expectant gaze, Shen Ruyu was still stopped by the emperor, which made her feel sorry.
[With just those two steps, those who don't know would think you are lame, but the emperor can still stop you. ]
[Tsk. ]
"Yan'er, how could I not believe you." The emperor hugged her comfortingly, and Shen Ruyu buried herself in his arms and twitched.
"Don't pretend! You always use this attitude to confuse father! Didn't you poison me before?! Why are you still pretending like this!" Song Mo said angrily.
[It's over, the prince is playing an open game! ]
"What did you say?" The emperor was shocked.
Shen Ruyu's face also flashed with surprise, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Your Highness, I know you have always disliked me, but you can't slander me like this!" Shen Ruyu was shocked and angry, grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and defended, "Your Majesty, don't you know how I treat you? How could I poison you?"
"They keep pushing these charges onto me, what is their intention?"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Shen Ruyu knelt down with red eyes.
"Song Mo! Do you have any evidence for what you said?" The emperor said in a deep voice, "If it is an unfounded slander, then you should know the consequences!"
Song Mo was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He realized that he was too anxious and could not help but look at Lin Zhiyu and the others.
However, Lin Zhiyu changed his roundabout way just now, stared at Shen Ruyu and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said is indeed true, but we really have no evidence to prove that the poison was done by her."
"Without evidence, isn't it slander!" Shen Ruyu glared at them resentfully.
Lin Zhiyu remained calm, "But we have evidence for the previous incident with Wen Qumo. It is clearly not the affair between Wushuang and Wen Qumo as they said, but Concubine Li colluded with Wen Qumo and sent Wushuang to deliver the message, and was caught!"
Shen Ruyu's face changed.
As his voice fell, Lin Mobai's voice came from outside the palace, "Here is the evidence!"
Behind him, Wushuang, who had disappeared for a long time, was staring at Shen Ruyu with resentment.
Shen Ruyu's expression froze, and he looked at Wushuang in disbelief, with his pupils trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty!" Wushuang knelt on the ground with a thump, "I was threatened that day, so I deliberately said that I had an affair with Lord Wen. In fact, it was not the case. It was Concubine Li who colluded with Lord Wen, so I sent the servant to deliver the message!"
