When Lin Yang received the news of Lin Feng's death from Xiahou Qing, he had been wondering if he could use Lin Feng's death to his advantage. Recalling the childhood memories of Shi Zairong and Lin Feng often playing together, a plan came to mind. After exaggerating and linking Lin Feng's death to Shi Zairong, he was able to tell a coherent story.
Han Jincheng saw that Lin Yang was determined to speak up, so he asked, "So, Master Lin is saying that not only is the Grand Tutor secretly colluding with Qingliang Valley, but after Lin Feng learned of this, he privately tried to dissuade Xiang Xian, and ended up being murdered to silence him?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Han Jincheng cleared his throat, half-lying on the throne, and said, "Lord Lin Yang, are you saying that Shi Zairong is inextricably linked to Lin Feng's death? Furthermore, was it the Grand Tutor who secretly ordered the murder of Lin Feng? Seeing Lord Lin weeping so hard is truly heartbreaking. However, there's one thing I'm very curious about: how did Lord Lin know this?"
Lin Yang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this is news from Tianshu Tower, and it has been verified by Xiahou Qing."
Lin Yang was a shrewd old fox. He knew he couldn't say no once he was linked to Tianshu Tower. Since he wanted to bring down Shi Zairong, he gave them this opportunity: "Since you all keep saying that Shi Zairong is planning a rebellion, then stop the back-and-forth and present the evidence you've found. If the evidence is sufficient, then I won't say anything more. Everything will be handled according to the law."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I'm tired, please kneel down and pay my respects." Han Jincheng was tired of hearing these empty words. Every word sounded like a vicious curse to his ears.
...After these ministers left, Han Jincheng only left behind his personal bodyguard Chen Mo, who had grown up with him. He closed the door of the imperial study, and the anger that he could not suppress in his heart completely erupted.
“Damn it, damn it!”
Looking at the mess and porcelain shards on the floor, Chen Mo's heart couldn't help but tighten. Han Jincheng was still poisoned, and he couldn't stand up to his emotions. If he accidentally passed out, it would be troublesome. However, despite his deep worry, Chen Mo didn't go up to stop him. After all, if you don't vent your anger, a normal person will be exhausted.
Han Jincheng threw things around while cursing at those who were forcing him. When he was tired of cursing and throwing things around, he collapsed on the ground, feeling relieved. "Shi Zairong, you are the Grand Tutor whom I promoted with great difficulty. I will never give up on you unless it is absolutely necessary. Don't think I don't know what these people are plotting behind the scenes. Han Chongguang, your scheme will not succeed easily!"
After Han Jincheng recovered his breath, Chen Mo said, "Your Majesty, a distinguished guest has arrived."
There was only one person Chen Mo could call his guest. Han Jincheng looked at his current appearance and thought he should change his clothes to avoid being rude. "Take him to the secret room first. Don't let others see him. I'll be there soon."
"yes."
Just as Chen Mo was about to leave, he stopped Han Jincheng and asked, "Have you sent someone to Liang State for today's memorial?"
Chen Mo replied: "It's still being prepared and will be sent out before noon."
Han Jincheng lowered his voice and said, "Go and get Lin Yang's memorial to me. Don't let anyone find out."
"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry."
...When Han Jincheng arrived at the secret room, Huangfu Huimin had been waiting for quite a while. In fact, when Chen Mo told Han Jincheng that Huangfu Huimin was coming, he was already waiting in the secret room, listening to the crackling sounds of things being thrown outside, it was quite lively.
Before Han Jincheng could speak, Huangfu Huimin teased, "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with someone again?"
Han Jincheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Yeah, we had a fight. Why are you here at this hour? Didn't you say you were busy these few days and couldn't come?"
Huangfu Huimin said that if he wasn't worried about the poison in Xiahou Qing's body, he wouldn't want to come to this golden cage. "I'm a little worried about your condition, so I came to see you. The old patriarch already knows what Xiahou Qing did, and the Huangfu family has sent people out to deal with the Shengxi Gu issue. It won't be long before we have good news."
Han Jincheng sighed and said, "Alas, the Shengxi Gu matter has come to an end, but my matter remains unresolved. Lin Yang has joined forces with many senior officials in the court, saying that Shi Zairong is plotting a rebellion and wants me to give an explanation."
Huangfu Huimin chuckled and said comfortingly, "Don't worry about him. We have the Huangfu family anyway. If you want to kill him, you have to ask Huijue's opinion first. Seeing how angry you are today, let me take a look at you. Don't let the poison take effect."
Han Jincheng cooperated and reached out his hand. He waited quietly for Huangfu Huimin to withdraw her hand, then asked with some concern, "...How is it?"
"You'll need to control your emotions from now on. If you don't let me completely remove the poison, I don't want my reputation to be ruined because of you." Huangfu Huimin had already noticed Han Jincheng's poisoning and was confident she could remove it. However, Han Jincheng was worried that the person who poisoned him would notice his secret contact with the Huangfu family, so he didn't dare to remove the poison completely in order to avoid losing his spirit.
After Han Jincheng heard Huangfu Huimin tell him that he was fine, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. "That storybook you found for me earlier was quite interesting. Can you find any others?"
Huangfu Huimin said, "You can find it. When you have nothing to do, you can read a book to amuse yourself. Or perhaps, have some conversation with your concubines?"
When the topic of Han Jincheng's harem beauties came up, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold, as if he would jump up and punch someone at any moment: "If I didn't consider you a friend, I would take your sword and kill you right now. This joke is not funny at all."
Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, there was only one person who could cause Han Jincheng such embarrassment. "Pfft, is Concubine De causing trouble for you again?"
Han Jincheng shook his head, his face filled with helplessness as he said, "Stop talking about it. She's such a disaster! I get angry whenever I mention her!"
Huangfu Huimin recalled the appearance of Consort De in her mind and nodded, "Even though she's a disaster, she treats you with all her heart. She even betrayed her own father. What else do you want from her?"
Han Jincheng and Defei were actually a pair of lovers, but because of Han Chongguang, he had to neglect her. In order to help him, Defei would often make trouble so that he could punish her. Sometimes he really didn't know what this woman was thinking: "The more you comfort me like this, the more I feel that I am a coward as an emperor."
