Chapter 21 The world is fickle
Lin Jingshu felt like a thunderclap exploded in her head, and she looked at her grandmother who had always loved her in disbelief.
Through tearful eyes, she asked Madam Wang, "Grandma, are you going to force your granddaughter to die too?"
Old Lady Wang opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but when she saw so many people looking at her, including the people from the main house, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
If she said no to Jingshu, she would be contradicting herself. How could she, the old lady of the Lin family, have the authority to intimidate the younger generation?
She said coldly, "That's right!"
The last glimmer of light in Lin Jingshu's eyes also shattered. She closed her eyes and said, "Okay, then I'm going to die."
Lin Jingshu directly crashed into the pillar in the pavilion.
Madam Zou shouted, "Jingshu."
"Ouch! It hurts so much."
Lin Zhiyi was standing next to the pillar, and before he could react, Lin Jingshu bumped into him.
"Big cousin, if you want to die, go die somewhere else. Why are you bumping into me?"
But Lin Jingshu used too much force, and Lin Zhiyi's bones were hurt all over.
Lin Jingshu also fell to the ground.
Mrs. Zou also came over and glared at Lin Zhiyi fiercely. It was all her fault and she would settle the score with her later.
Lin Zhiyi glared back.
She also indirectly saved Lin Jingshu, but the second wife was not grateful and looked at her with such eyes.
She is unlucky today!
If she encounters this kind of thing again in the future, she will definitely react faster and move aside to let her hit her.
Lin Jingshu sat on the ground, covering her face and crying.
Mrs. Song also pulled Lin Zhiyi aside to check her up and down and asked her where she was hurt.
"Mom, I'm fine."
The second brother, Lin Xiuyan, also warned: "Silly girl, next time you encounter something like this, remember to stay away from it, okay? Otherwise, you will become a meat cushion for others. Since someone wants to die, let them die quickly."
"I understand, second brother."
Not far away, Chai Niu came over with Lin Fu.
"Okay, let Zhizhi and Jingshu stay."
Old Lady Wang looked at Lin Fu.
She naturally blamed Lin Fu in her heart. If he had not come forward to speak well of the deposed prince in the court, the Lin family would not have reached this point.
They are still enjoying themselves in the imperial city.
It was indeed Lin Fu. This good eldest son of hers brought trouble to the Lin family.
"Since the Lin family has been implicated by you, you are responsible for everyone's food, clothing and other expenses along the way."
Before Lin Fu could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Xiuran: "Grandma, my father has supported the entire Lin family over the years. Now that the Lin family is in trouble, you have enjoyed the blessings of the Lin family, and you should also help the Lin family overcome the difficulties.
Could it be that Second Uncle and Third Uncle can only enjoy the Lin family's happiness, but cannot share the Lin family's hardships?"
In front of so many people, Second Uncle Lin and Third Uncle Lin couldn't refute, "No way, no way."
At this moment, someone whispered to everyone, "Look, the deposed crown prince is here."
Not far away, a young eunuch dressed as a palace maid came pulling a cart, escorted by soldiers.
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Zhu Sheng, a eunuch in the deposed prince's palace.
In addition, there were two young women following the cart, and they recognized them at a glance as the Prince's Consorts.
They were at the Ten-Li Pavilion just to wait for the deposed Crown Prince Li Wenjing, otherwise they would have set off long ago.
Li Wenjing was not imprisoned with the criminals, but was beaten with dozens of boards by the emperor and imprisoned alone in the prince's palace.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Even though he was the emperor's biological son, he was sentenced to exile and could only pull a cart. He was not allowed to use a horse-drawn carriage.
But behind him, there was not even anyone to see him off. How cruel the world is.
As he got closer, Lin Zhi saw Li Wenjing lying on the cart, face down, not moving at all.
I don't know if it was because he couldn't accept the blow of falling from the clouds to hell and was too ashamed to face people, or because he was seriously injured and was afraid of tearing the wound.
The last time Lin Zhiyi saw a figure like the prince was on TV, which made her look at him a few more times.
Seeing that he was tall and slender, and still wearing gorgeous clothes, unlike his father and others who had changed into ochre clothes, it seemed that being the emperor's son was still different.
The book describes Li Wenjing as a person as bright and white as the moon, so Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but want to go forward and turn his face to see what Li Wenjing looked like.
Just as she stepped forward, her second brother Lin Xiuyan grabbed her clothes and said, "Little sister."
Lin Zhiyi reacted immediately and realized that even if the prince was in trouble, they should not act recklessly.
The emperor's son can only be bullied by himself. If he is bullied by outsiders, he will definitely protect him.
This time, Li Wenjing was pointed out as the mastermind of the witchcraft case, and the person who was intended to be harmed in this case was the emperor.
The Emperor asked him, "Are you so impatient? Can't you bear to wait even a few more years? Are you hoping day and night that your father will die soon so you can sit on the throne?"
Li Wenjing also said angrily, "Hasn't the emperor already made his decision? Then why are you asking me?"
Li Wenjing knew that even if he explained, it would be of no use.
So I simply didn't explain.
It was this sentence that angered the emperor, who beat Li Wenjing with dozens of boards. Coupled with the instigation of Prince Qi's biological mother, Concubine Wen, he was eventually sentenced to exile.
The emperor is still angry now, and Li Wenjing is his Achilles' heel. Anyone who pleads for him will end up like the Lin family, the Mu family, and the Cui family, and have their property confiscated.
Even a close relative like King Kang was exiled for pleading for the deposed crown prince. Who in the court would dare to encounter such bad luck?
The deposed crown prince is now like an isolated island, and everyone is avoiding him as much as possible.
Therefore, no one came to see him off.
Lin Zhiyi recalls the plot in the book.
Li Wenjing grew up in the imperial palace. He is well versed in political tactics but hates hypocrisy. He appears decadent and numb on the surface, but is actually meticulous.
But he still couldn't defeat the Prince of Qi's mother, Concubine Wen.
Even his mother, the Queen Mother of Dagan, died in a fire when the prince was young.
Without the protection of his mother, it is clear how difficult his journey was.
Her life experience was the same as hers, and she also lived at the hands of her stepmother.
As soon as the news of his abolition of the throne came out, his fiancée, Changsun Yi, sent a letter to cancel the engagement, which was three times faster than the emperor's edict.
During his exile, it was the reborn Mu Yunzhao who stayed by his side. Knowing that he would return to the capital of Chang'an five years later and would be the emperor of Dagan, she eventually moved Li Wenjing's heart and became the queen of Dagan.
Li Wenjing was emperor for only a few years before he fell seriously ill and eventually died. Mu Yunzhao supported her son to take the throne and ruled the country from behind the scenes.
This is what happened later. Mu Yunzhao used the original owner to frame the Lin family for rebellion, and the entire family was wiped out.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi's chest heaved. She had only one idea, which was to sabotage the heroine's approach to the hero on the way to exile. If she could not become the queen of Dagan, the Lin family would not end up being executed, and her brothers would not die so miserably.
Who cares what the heroine is? Since Lin Zhiyi has come here, she is the heroine.
"Little sister, it's time to go."
It was not until her second brother Lin Xiuyan patted Lin Zhiyi on the shoulder that she realized that it was time for the main force to set off.
